This qualitative study is based on interviews with four different voluntary workers. The focus on this study is young voluntary workers inside the organization TAMAM. TAMAM is a voluntary organization with a focus on helping children with their homework, but also bounding relationships between children with different backgrounds. The main goal with this study was to find out how young voluntary wo
Multirotor UAVs have in recent years become a trend among academics, engineers and hobbyists alike due to their mechanical simplicity and availability. Commercial uses range from surveillance to recreational flight with plenty of research being conducted in regards to design and control. With applications towards search and rescue missions in mind, the main objective of this thesis work is the de
This study tests whether the rise of free trade agreements (FTAs) in East Asia since 2000 has been an attempt to manage the growing complexity of trade both between members of that region and each other, as well as between them and the rest of the world. The study uses a measure of dependency based on GDP, as well as a measure of intraindustry trade as indicators. Descriptive statistics showed tha
Problem definition: Supply chain segmentation is a topic which in later years has received increasing attention from supply chain managers of companies in industrial settings. To members of the supply chain research community the ideas and theoretical contributions underlying the concept of supply chain segmentation are hardly new, but have evolved ever since the beginning of the 1990s. However, a
This study investigates reconciliation processes, based on narratives of experiences from a rural area in Rift Valley, Kenya. A qualitative method has been used and ten interviews were followed out with people who had taken part in a reconciliation workshop run by the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Kenya. The authors also took part in such a workshop themselves. In the analysis, the theory of symb
After the failure to respond adequately to the changing patterns of conflict and violence after the end of the Cold War, human security was popularized in the 1990s as an alternative concept to security more suitable to face threats to individual security. Ever since, the question about what human security should entail has seen much discussion. This paper examines the different discourses which i
Uppsatsen undersöker hur lagreglering av tiggeri har sett ut sedan sent 1800-tal fram till idag i Sverige. Övergripande syfte är att, utifrån ett rättsutvecklingsperspektiv, belysa rättens förändring över tiden. Från medeltiden till tidigt 1800-tal fanns regleringar av tiggeri ämnade att säkra arbetskraft till Sveriges begynnande industrialisering samt förhindra att allmänheten stördes. Syftet änThis thesis examines how statutory regulations of begging have looked like since late 19th century until today in Sweden. The overall purpose is to illustrate the change of regulations over time, from a law development perspective. From the Middle Ages to early 19th century, rules regarding begging existed in order to secure manpower for Sweden’s beginning industrialization and to prevent the pub
In today's society, much energy is used and all energy use (e.g. heat, electricity) affects the environment. Greenhouse gas emissions from energy affect the climate of the earth and increase the natural greenhouse effect. Environmental impact because of energy use causes both local and global problems. Efficient energy use in buildings is a prerequisite for dealing with climate issues and in t
På senare år har förekomsten av mjölk som koagulerar dåligt eller inte alls vid tillsats av löpe upptäckts. Denna, så kallade NC (icke-koagulerande), mjölk ger ett minskat ostutbyte vilket kan ge negativa följder både ur ett ekonomiskt och miljömässigt perspektiv. Ost är ett uppskattat livsmedel i Sverige, som för många utgör en del av den dagliga kosten. Det är kanske inte så konstigt med tanke Cheese products are an essential part of the human diet, consequently making the ability of milk to coagulate a critical part for the dairy industry. However, milk that coagulates poorly or not at all after the addition of rennet has been found among several dairy cattle breeds, including Swedish Red cows. This master thesis was therefore aimed to evaluate and compare a number of compositional, ph
The purpose of our master thesis is to locate and find a mathematical model of the road surface from data obtained using LiDAR measure- ments. A LiDAR is an optical instrument that generates a point cloud of its surroundings by measuring distance and intensity. Some LiDARs also generate additional metrics, but for our road model only the distance will be used. However, we will discuss how the inte
Metoderna som används för att göra den globala livsmedelsförsörjningen tryggare har bytt fokus från själva produktionen av jordbruksgrödor till att öka människors tillgänglighet till marknader. Analyser visar att det finns ett samband mellan inkomst, avlägsenhet, och hur stor andel av god jordbruksmark faktiskt används för jordbruk. För att beräkna tillgänglighet krävs fullständig, uppdaterad, ocContemporary approaches to improving food security amongst the world’s vulnerable populations have shifted from attempts to improve crop yield to improving accessibility to markets. Analyses show that there is a correlation between income, distance from cities, and the ratio of potential agricultural production to realised agricultural production. Complete, up-to-date, and reliable road network
This thesis examines the idea of trade union internationalism in the wake of globalization. The integration of the world’s economies has intensified the competition between the workers of the world. The thesis argues that the struggle for competitiveness has eroded the foundation for international solidarity. This implies a great paradox for trade unions, stuck between the idea of internationalism
The Paris Agreement has increased interest in environmental policy research, which has alerted that companies will relocate their investment to countries with less stringent environmental standards. This pollution haven effect, although theoretically analyzed, has wide-ranging empirical results which are highly dependent on the selected case and proxy for environmental policy stringency. Attemptin
The EU has a normative character in its foreign policy. While dealing with its relationship with the neighbours, the EU pays attention to exporting its norms. The enlargement policy is evidence of the EU’s normative power. However, from ENP to EaP, the EU seems not so effective in promoting normative changes in the target states. The existing researches lack a deep and comprehensive analysis of th
Denna uppsats handlar om rätten för en stat att använda våld i självförsvar mot en icke-statlig organisation på en annan stats territorium. Förbud mot våldsanvändning råder både enligt FN-stadgan och internationell sedvänja. Att det finns ett undantag gällande självförsvar mot en annan stat råder det ingen tvekan om, men frågan är om detta undantag täcker även självförsvar mot en icke-statlig orgaThis is a thesis on the right of a state to use force in self-defence against a non-state organization on the territory of another state. The trans-border use of force is prohibited both according to the charter of the United Nations and according to international customary law. There is however no controversy regarding the fact that self-defence against another state is an exemption to this rule,
An engineering approach to the evaluation of the TCP as a narrowband bearer for short messages in the low latency train-trackside communication scenario is described in this report. The project was developed in cooperation with Bombardier Transportation Sweden AB as a part of the “ETCS over GPRS” venture. With the increase of the demands from the railway industry, the currently used circuit-switc
