The strong negative relationship between geographical distance and trade is not well understood. I use the liberalization of the Soviet airspace to estimate the causal impact of business travel cost on trade. The liberalization radically reduced travel time between Europe and East Asia and was followed by a significant increase in trade. I find that the cost of business travel can account for a la
This thesis examines the emerging issue of Webcam Child Prostitution (WCP) that has so far only been observed in the Philippines. Utilising a qualitative approach, the authors conducted a series of interviews with law enforcement and civil society, as well as survivors of the crime and two focus groups in a low-income neighbourhood in Manila. The data collected is analysed through a critical theor
this thesis evaluates what impact thr regionally integrated area of MERCOSUL has had on the investment flows in the automotive industry in Argentina and Brazil. The aanalysis is based on the theoretical framework on FDI and regional integrataion developed by Kokko & Blomström and interviews with MNCs in the region. We discuss what the motives have been for the automotive industry to locate in
This paper explores a global trend where universities are collaborating with local government, industry and civic organisations to advance the sustainable transformation of a specific town, city or region. With empirical evidence, we argue that this function of ‘cocreation for sustainability’ could be interpreted as the seeds of an emerging, new mission for the university. We demonstrate that this
The objective of this report is to provide an implementation guide to understanding the Energy Efficiency in Buildings (EEB) model as applied to the Swedish Residential sector. The report depicts the work that prepares the ground to use and test the model to evaluate energy efficiency policy instruments targeting the Swedish residential sector during the next phase of the project. It is argued wil
A stochastic model based on a probability density function (PDF) approach was developed for the investigation of spark ignition (SI) engine knock conditions. The model is based on a two zone model, where the burned and unburned gases are described as stochastic reactors, and the movement of the turbulent flame front is expressed with a Wiebe function. Using a stochastic particle ensemble to repres
A discussion on whether and why archaeology is important, with Mårup Church (Denmark) as point of departure. The church will soon fall into the sea. Why is it crucial to save or document this church? Rhetorical catchwords, cultural mangagement, archaeology, history and social anthropology are presented and critically examined.
The Nuclear Structure Group in Lund, focuses on nuclear spectroscopy of decays of rare isotopes. A new decay station, called LUNDIUM, is currently being built, which will involve silicon and germanium detectors for the study of these nuclei. This thesis focuses on the characterization of one of the new silicon detectors, the implantation one. More specifically, the dead layer is determined over th
Alpha decay spectroscopy using the latest and most sensitive detector setup as well as fast sampling read-out electronics has become very important for discovery and analysis of short-lived nuclei created in collision experiments in the laboratory. The Nuclear Structure Group in Lund is currently developing the Lundium Decay Station for use in comprehensive nuclear spectroscopy of decays for rare
This project entails the development of a model for determining the spatial resolution in scanning applications of pulsed-neutron sources, such as at the European Spallation Source (ESS). The development of this model involves the simplification of the problem of representing a pulse neutron scanning across a sample by approximating the pulsed neutron beam as a continuous laser beam scanning acros
The European Union is one of the world’s most impactful development actors. As such, it has adopted the Policy Coherence for Development framework in order to minimize contradictions between policies that affect developing countries. The ultimate goal of the framework is to increase development effectiveness to the welfare of developing partners. However, the existing literature is rich in doubts
The Low Energy Beam Transport, LEBT, is the _rst part of the European Spallation Source accelerator, the ESS linac, that is currently under construction in Lund. The LEBT section, that will be installed and commissioned in early 2018, has the purpose of focusing and steering the low-energy proton beam that enters directly from the ion source. For simulation of the beam dynamics in the LEBT, ESS us

Dietary biomarkers for measuring food habits - possibilities and challenges It is difficult to measure what people eat. Can we for example use a blood test to measure food habits? What are the possibilities and challenges?
