Can human rights education be used to implement the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) in the education system of developing countries? Can this be a way to advance child rights not only at school but also in the rest of the community? How could human rights training be used to implement the CRC's holistic approach at the global and domestic levels? These are just some of the question
Purpose The purpose of this research is to explore the effects of format development of an original single-format general merchandise retailer on store image. Theoretical Perspectives This study is grounded on the alignment of existing literature in the fields of format development and store image. The theoretical framework build thereupon is bridging the two fields and develops a model to measur
Chronological age is an important part of every person’s identity and in the Western communities it is given that everyone knows how old they are. However, it is not the case for people coming from certain countries in the Middle East where birth records do not exist and where it is highly unusual for someone to celebrate a birthday. Many unaccompanied children from, Middle East apply for asylum i

Since the Washington consensus in the 1980s, economic liberalization has been seen as a panacea for increasing the economic development and the welfare of a developing country. By reducing trade tariffs and barriers, moving from a socialistic economic system and removing state monopoly on major exports, it is believed that a developing country will increase its income and economic growth while ben
An environmentally hazardous activity, where surface water management exists, can be bound by Swedish law to apply for an environmental permit or has a duty to report its activity. In recent years, the environmental permitting regulations have undergone comprehensive changes where old practices and environmental quality standards are phased out and new ones introduced. In this study, a previously
Bakgrund: Detta projekt undersöker om det är möjligt att utveckla en kalibreringsmodell utifrån spektroskopiska mätningar i det nära infraröda (NIR) området, för bestämning av mängden och typen av fiberfraktioner i proteinpulver producerat från baljväxten alfalfa, utan att utföra våtexperiment. Alfalfa benämnas även Medicago sativa och lucerne, men kallas inom detta projekt alfalfa. En sådan typ aBackground: This project investigates if it is possible to develop a calibration model from near infrared (NIR) spectroscopic measurements, for determination of the amount and type of fibre fractions within protein powder produced from the legume alfalfa, without performing wet experiments. Alfalfa is also known as Medicago sativa and lucerne, but is in this project further referred to as alfalfa.
The aim of this thesis was to compare different ways of dissociating tissue - specifically breast cancer tissue - and sorting out tumour cells and immune cells from the dissociated tissue using acoustophoresis in a microfluidic chip. Due to ethical issues with using tumour tissues to work on the methodology of a project, ultimately only healthy breast tissue was used in this work. Two dissociatio
Background: Lung densitometry is an effective method to assess overall progression of emphysema, but generally the location of the progression is not estimated. We hypothesized that progression of emphysema is the result of extension from affected areas toward less affected areas in the lung. To test this hypothesis, a method was developed to assess emphysema severity at different levels in the lu
We present detailed observations of the bright short-hard gamma-ray burst GRB 090510 made with the Gammaray Burst Monitor (GBM) and Large Area Telescope (LAT) on board the Fermi observatory. GRB 090510 is the first burst detected by the LAT that shows strong evidence for a deviation from a Band spectral fitting function during the prompt emission phase. The time-integrated spectrum is fit by the s
Background: Obesity, type 2 diabetes and atrial fibrillation (AF) are closely associated, but the underlying mechanisms are not fully understood. We aimed to explore associations between body mass index (BMI) or weight change with risk of AF in patients with type 2 diabetes. Methods: A total of 7,169 participations with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes were stratified according to baseline BMI, and
This thesis is a qualitative case study conducted in the context of the Swedish fashion retailer MQ. Due to the growing importance of sustainability the purpose of this study is to investigate how retailers’ sustainability work on corporate level is translated and communicated in the retail store environment. Further, it does also aim to explore how the physical space can be used to enable, encour
Graphene have attracted attention recently due to its unique properties and opportunities for development of high performance carbon based devices. The intercalation, absorption and reactions processes of small molecules above and below the graphene islands hold the key for new perspectives in catalysis, molecular sensors and other technologies. The present master thesis is focused on the investig
The master’s thesis was performed in collaboration with the department responsible for the driver vehicle interaction at Scania CV AB. The interaction between the driver and the vehicle contributes to the usability and overall experience of the product as well as to safety. In order to create a good interaction it is important to evaluate it. The purpose of the thesis work was therefore to develop
När två parter formulerar ett avtal behandlas ett antal olika klausuler. I kommersiella avtal regleras ofta vilken tvistlösningsmetod som ska tillämpas på framtida tvister. Den dominerande metoden är skiljeförfarande. Skiljeförfarande är en typ av privat tvistelösningsform, där en skiljenämnd har behörighet att pröva tvistefrågor och meddela ett bindande dom. Skiljeklausulen anses vara ett självWhen two parties formulate a contract, several clauses are to be considered. In commercial agreements, a clause regulating which dispute resolution method should be applied on future conflicts is usually included. The dominating alternative dispute resolution is arbitration. Arbitration is a type of a private dispute resolution method, where an arbitration panel has the authority to try dispute qu
This study investigates the development of a new method for the deposition of aluminium oxide (Al2O3) on substrates by aluminium combustion. Although, conventional coating techniques, such as Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) and Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) are well-established, they are often complex and high in energy use. The new method aims to exploit the simplicity and efficiency of alumini
A variety of excess material is produced in the processes used in the scrap-metal based steel industry. The largest stream of material, by volume, is steel slag. Since slag material has very different properties and wide differences in its chemical composition its usage can be found in different sectors. The increased understanding of slag and its properties has made companies less prone to divert
In 2015, The Swedish central bank; the Riksbank, decided to lower the repo rate to -0,1 percent. The idea was to stimulate inflation in order to reach the target inflation of 2% according to CPI. The decision was and is controversial. Even if the inflation based on CPI is very low, the inflation on asset prices especially in the housing market is very high. Meanwhile, the household debt is increa
Denna studie undersöker och besvarar huruvida det är mer värt ur ett ekonomiskt perspektiv att renovera ett 50-talshus i originalskick än att bygga ett nytt hus när samma krav på inomhusmiljö ställs. Kraven ställs främst på luftkvalitén, men gäller även värmedistribution och levnadssätt. För att få en generell bild och ett resultat som kan användas i övergripande sammanhang har två alternativa utfThis study examines and answers whether it is more profitable from a financial point of view to renovate a 1950s house in its original condition than to build a new house when the same requirements are made regarding the indoor environment. The demands are primarily set on the air quality, but they also apply to heat distribution and lifestyle/usage. In order to get the big picture and a result wh
