The European Union (EU) and the United States (US) often use different foreign policy strategies. In their non-proliferation policies they have had somewhat different approaches towards the suspected proliferators. In this thesis the usefulness and effectiveness of these different strategies, containment and engagement, are studied within the question of non-proliferation of Weapons of Mass Destr

In this paper the trade of virtual items in online games for hard currency is analysed using economic theory. There are real welfare gains from trade but the game designer’s interests must be taken into account when deciding whether trade is desirable or not. Ricardo's Comparative Advantage and Hecksher-Ohlin Factor Proportion theories lead to conclusions about game design when trade is free.

Utgångspunkt för denna kandidatuppsats i sociologi har varit att undersöka om det risktänkande som beskrivs av Ulrich Becks i hans teori om risksamhället kan urskiljas hos personer som har generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) översatt till svenska med generaliserat ångestsyndrom.

Property rights systems and their relationship to the informal spaces are a contested and highly relevant part of contemporary development discourse. This study explores the reproduction of the concept of the informal in urban space. The central problematic of this study then departs by asking in what ways does the debate on property rights and the informal economy emerge as a representation of sp

The role of this initiative in securing corporate accountability has received attention both among academics and non-academics. There have recently been some internal developments within the Global Compact relating to the possibility of this initiative to hold its participants to account.

The present article researches the mechanisms suggested for controlling the fulfillment of the EU sustainability criteria for transport biofuels that have been presented in the central legal framework in this area, which is Directive 2009/28/EC. The analysis is extended to the related EU policy documents of a non-binding explanatory and recommendatory character. Judging from the content of Directi

Through an analysis of the FDA’s approval of the controversial anti-influenza drug Relenza (zanamivir), we interrogate distinct social scientific theories of pharmaceutical regulation. We investigate why, despite internal negative opinions and an Advisory Committee’s non-approval recommendation, the FDA approved Relenza in the late 1990s. Based on a close reading of FDA documents, we show how agen

This paper focuses on the specific problems in the labour and social security legislation as it relates to crowdworkers in the digitalizes new economy, analyzing their place in labour market, and especially in the collective agreements which are the standard means of regulating working conditions in the Nordic model. Sweden has a binary system where a performing party is as either an employee or s

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Danish general practitioners (GPs) follow a voluntary continuous professional development (CPD) programme based on accredited activities. Inspired by a current interest in CPD, this study investigates GPs' preferences for future CPD programmes.METHODS: The preferences were tested in a Discrete Choice Experiment (DCE) sent to 1079 randomly chosen GPs. The GPs were asked t

Over the past decade, countries have strived to develop a global governance structure to halt deforestation and forest degradation, by achieving the readiness requirements for Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and forest Degradation (REDD+). Nonetheless, deforestation continues, and seemingly intact forest areas are being degraded. Furthermore, REDD+ may fail to consider the crucial ecosystem

Slutsatser„ Det finns två skolbaserade program som möjligen kan förebygga suicid- försök. Dessa är dock inte testade på ett vetenskapligt sätt i Sverige.Båda de program som har visat effekt är universella, dvs riktas till alla elever i klasserna.– Good Behavior Game (GBG) ges på lågstadiet under ett till två år. GBG är inte utvecklat för att förebygga självskada utan syftar till att förstärka posi

Over the years we have seen an increased interest in businesses and in research for how to create conditions for entrepreneurship in established businesses (referring to corporate entrepreneurship).

Even though the role of resources has been examined this conceptual paper iden

In the attempt to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from steel production, several large industry decarbonization projects have emerged in Europe. The commercialization of low-emission steel technology, however, faces systemic barriers such as a lack of infrastructure and unclear demand for greener steel. As part of its new commitment to climate-neutrality, the European Commission has announced plan

This article explored the use of social media and mobile communication by women in Saudi Arabia who campaigned for the right to drive from 1990. Due to the globally unique ban on women driving in the Kingdom, females always needed a male driver to transport them. The Saudi government announced in September 2017 that women would be allowed to drive from June 2018. Using the theory of connective act

BACKGROUND: Osteoporosis and fracture risk are considered to be under genetic control. Extensive work is being performed to identify the exact genetic variants that determine this risk. Previous work has suggested that a G/T polymorphism affecting an Sp1 binding site in the COLIA1 gene is a genetic marker for low bone mineral density (BMD) and osteoporotic fracture, but there have been no very-lar
