This study looks into the existing policy gap in the management of E-waste in the Philippines, by identifying the different barriers to – and drivers for – the adoption of E-waste management measures, through the perceptions of the different stakeholders involved in E-waste issues. Existing waste management policies in the country lack a specific framework for dealing with E-waste. This research e
This research investigates the current situation of bioenergy development in rural China from the business perspective. Biomass combustion power stations, medium and large biogas facilities, and household level biogas digesters are discussed in the research. In total 6 empirical case studies and interviews with different stakeholders are employed in the research. This thesis argues that the govern
The task aims to investigate if it is possible to produce two portion packages with the same technical equipment and cycle time as for the 1000 ml Carton Bottle package. The assigner is MSc Pär Andersson at Tetra Pak. The work followed Ulrich and Eppingers “front-end process” and started with an interpretation of the client needs translated to target specifications. Several package concepts were d
The purpose of this essay is to give further understanding of the relatively new phenomena Chinese popular nationalism. I will have my benchmark in traditional theory of civic and ethnic nationalism but also in popular nationalism theory and the from-culturalism-to-nationalism thesis. To further understand the identity shaping role of the populist movement in China I will separate it from official
Due to a German research project on slavery in antiquity, I became aware of the fact, that within the field of slavery and manumission a lot of research still needs to be done. 1 A university course on social identity inspired me later on and made me think about different identities; ‘being a slave’ was one of them. The habit of freeing slaves was so widely spread during the late Roman Republic an
Recent studies have shown that increased liquidity is perhaps not always strictly beneficial and that high trading volumes can produce trading noise causing increased volatility above that based on fundamentals. This study investigates whether this applies to the Swedish stock market by analyzing dual-class stocks that have the same cash flow rights but different control rights and different tradi
In English, there are specific verbs called posture verbs. They denote the posture of subjects and objects. To state whether an animate object is standing or sitting is hardly any trouble but how do we state inanimate objects? What determines their posture? These posture verbs denoting inanimate object are easily found in recipes, thus, this essay will examine which variables are the ones determin
Rätten till medborgarskap kodifierad i artikel 15 i FN:s declaration om de mänskliga rättigheterna tolkas som rätten att ha rättigheter. Genom medborgarskap säkras tillgång till grundläggande mänskliga rättigheter. Personer som inte betraktas som medborgare i någon stat enligt dess lagar är de jure statslösa. Åtnjutandet av mänskliga rättigheter för de jure statslösa är följaktligen begränsad. FThe right to nationality codified in article 15 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights is understood as the right to have rights. By possessing nationality, access to fundamental human rights is ensured. A person who is not considered a national of any state according to its laws is de jure stateless. De jure stateless persons are consequently impeded to enjoy such human rights. As of today
Investigating the dynamics of blood flow is essential to understanding the cardiovascular system and its pathologies. Phase Contrast Magnetic Resonance Imaging (PC-MRI) enables acquisition of 4-dimensional time resolved velocity experiments. Slice-by-slice analysis of the data is time consuming and cumbersome. In this master thesis a simple but eective algorithm for fully automatic visualization o
The aim of this thesis is to investigate two periods in the history of Ghana that have been characterised by strong growth, namely 1891-1919 and 1983-2013. The study is important as it will provide a better understanding of the current situation in Ghana and as it contributes to the attempt to disprove the myth of Africa as a stagnant continent. As this myth is so widespread, it is highly importan
This thesis adds the role of the different types of proximity to the discussion on business development. It does so by aiming at start-ups that are currently located in business incubators in the city of Amsterdam, The Netherlands. Current research has focused on the output, effectiveness, diversity, and different types and roles of business incubators. It focuses on what happens within the incuba
The thesis studies on the inequalities in health as an issue of the subject Health Economics. Inequalities in health is also known as a consequence of the inequalities in socioeconomic status and factors such as income, age, gender, education, employment status, place of residence, and etc. Due to the limitation on time and data, the thesis focuses on the urban individual statistics of China in th
The cerebellum is important for the control of movements, speech as well as mental activities. In the molecular layer of the cerebellum there exist interneurons which role in the cerebellar neural network is not yet fully understood. In this thesis, these interneurons are simulated by mathematical models in order to investigate their connectivity attern. Further, the input/output behavior of a del
