The aim of this thesis is to discuss the construction of Taiwanese identity in Shanghai and compare with the studies on identity formation in Taiwan itself. The thesis is divided into three parts: cultural identity, ethnic identity and political identity. A total of 10 male and female students from Taiwan who had resided a year and above and enrolled in higher education in Shanghai were interviewe
Managua has experienced two devastating earthquakes during the last century resulting in major human loss. The destruction in the earthquake of 1972 was particularly severe in defined areas of the city, including the former city centre, which is now unused terrain. This may have been because of amplification in those areas due to impedance contrasts and resonance effects in the surface layers. Th
This work called: ''Enforcement of International Law in Nagorno-Karabakh Conflict'' discusses problems of branches of international law, such as International Humanitarian Law and International Criminal Law, in regard to Nagorno-Karabakh Conflict situation and draws the picture of reasons why enforcement of these branches of international law failed in the aforementioned conflict.
This thesis approaches a field in refugee law, which is rather untouched by the researching community so far. The specific procedure scrutinised is the procedure allowing for asylum applications to be submitted at EU Member States' diplomatic and consular representations abroad. In the thesis this procedure goes under the name externalised processing. The specific aspect focused on is the poss
Background and Purpose – In the last two decades, enterprise architecture (EA) has become a common approach for the management of information systems in organizations. However, the academic development of the field has not paralleled this turn of events. There is considerable divergence among researchers as to the very definition of EA. The present project seeks to clarify the concepts of EA, draw
The purpose of this thesis was to exemplify how a Credo (i.e. code of conduct) is used in order to exercise normative control. This was done through the development of a theoretical model describing how normative control is practiced in reality. The thesis is a qualitative study of the normative control at Johnson & Johnson. Based on theories of previous researchers we constructed a model sugg
This thesis estimates the risk of the activity at the oil depot in Örfirisey and its location, to its nearby population. The thesis will consider possible risks from the oil depot it self in case of fire, today, in relation to health and safety. Transportation of the fuel from the depot through the city will be discussed in an attempt to see if other depot locations or strategies can lessen the ri
Depth data and bathymetry maps are used to analyze their association with tides, winds, currents and wave conditions in the port of Talara, at the coast of northern Peru. The objective is to investigate the processes that influence the sediment transport in the port. The sedimentation affects the saltwater pumps for fire fighting, obstructing them from delivering water since their operational wate
As we have evolved, human beings have developed a wide range of disciplines and discourses through which we address, analyse, dissect, explore and seek to progress, various aspects of our lives and what it is to be a human person. When considered from the perspective of each of these individual disciplines or vantage points different human features and aspects become the focus, depending on the le
There is a problem with overtraining when applying Artificial Neural Networks to a classification problem. One factor that strongly influences the overtraining is the network topology. Understanding the role of the network topology is therefore important to enable the creation of more efficient Artificial Neural Networks.
Rapporten är ett examinerande moment i kursen Brandteknisk riskvärdering. Syftet med rapporten är att utvärdera personsäkerheten vid brand för besökarna på Halmstadtravet och ge förslag på eventuella förbättringar. Syftet är även att studenterna ska tränas i sin ingenjörsmässiga förmåga. I byggnaden som utvärderas finns bland annat restaurang, kök, sittplatsläktare och caféverksamhet. Det redogörThe report is an examination element of the course Brandteknisk riskvärdering. The purpose of the report is to evaluate human safety of visitors in case of fire at the racetrack Halmstadtravet and suggest possible solutions if the human safety is deemed insufficient. The purpose is also to train the students in their engineering capability. The method is to choose several fire scenarios that chal
Thermal actions have a signicant eect on bridge structures and can at some sections account for more than 20% of the reinforcement. Such actions are especially important in certain types of concrete bridges, e.g. portal frame bridges. Thermal actions dier from other load types considered during bridge design through being a constraining load. A temperature prole can be divided into a uniform part
The purpose of this thesis is to reach a better understanding of how people view gender equality and the equality-work conducted, in a male-dominated and public organization, like the Swedish Armed Forces. The study is based upon a qualitative research approach with an interpretative, hermeneutical perspective. Further, this has been done through semi-structured interviews and document studies as
In a small and confined one dimensional geometry of nanowire, even few defects can influence the performance of the devices. Main objective of this thesis is to conduct photoluminescence study of such defect states in GaAs nanowires, which we will first introduce by diffusing copper impurity atoms, in very low concentrations. In low concentrations, ideally single atom in a wire, the photoluminesc
Stigma of pregnant and mothering adolescents is linked to socially constructed gender roles and sexual identities, ideals of motherhood, and stigma of adolescent sexual activity. As such, it constitutes an adolescent sexual and reproductive health issue. It is a contributing factor to several negative consequences related to adolescent pregnancy, such as advert health outcomes, lower educational a
The short lifetime of spark plugs in heavy-duty truck and stationary engines has been a major concern in the relevant industry. In this thesis work a time-resolved approach to detect the evaporation erosion of Ni electrodes in electrical discharges was proposed, and multiple detection methods were used to study the spark discharge. Spectroscopic study of the discharge's emission illustrated th
The purpose of this thesis was to implement an alternative method to calculate the overlap function, which describe to what extent two protons overlap with each other spatially, into PYTHIA8 in order to determine how it affected the average number of multiparton interactions. The new overlap function is based on an explicit impact parameter picture, whereas PYTHIA8s overlap function uses an implic
