The purpose of this essay was to examine the structural composition of the global hegemony, and how it was expressed in peace building in Iraq. In order to examine this, the neoliberal hegemony was outlined with the help of Rovert Cox’s notions of structures and other critical scholars’ notions of neoliberalism. The neoliberal hegemony was expressed in Iraq through an extensive marketization forci
Purpose: A stagnant Cuban economy, state owned and operated businesses, as well as a general public desire for change to happen in the country, present themselves as a matter that should be addressed. The opening up of the private economic sector within a communist regime proves as an interesting topic, and allows for an architectural interpretation to be made. Assignment: Given the economic an
The number of microbreweries in Sweden has grown a lot since 2009, from about 30 to 240 breweries. In the production of beer, wastewater is also produced which must be taken care of to avoid inconvenience to people and the environment. How the wastewater should be treated has been a problem for a couple of breweries. This study is based on a case study, Remmarlöv Gårdsbryggeri, that needs a new wa
På uppdrag från Trafikverket har en utredning om PAH-detektering inom vägteknik genomförts för att kunna ge förslag på hur de bör utforma ett kommande undersökningsprogram. Polycykliska aromatiska kolväten, PAH, är en grupp organiska föreningar som är en del av vägtjära. Vägtjära användes som bindemedel i asfaltsbeläggningar i Sverige under nästan 50 år, fram tills 1973. Flera PAH har visat sig vAn investigation regarding PAH detection in road pavements has been put together as an assignment from Trafikverket. The purpose of this investigation is to put forward suggestions about how they should shape their upcoming research program. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon, PAH, is an organic chemical compound which is found in road tar. Road tar was used as a bonding agent in asphalt pavements i
As the need of environmentally friendly alternatives to fossil fuels is growing bigger, so is the need for knowledge and research around possible new raw materials that could serve that pur-pose. One discussed product is biogas. Since biogas can be produced from not only food waste and wastewater residue, but from any substrate that contains fats, proteins and/or car-bohydrates, with the help of d
Title: Multi-Sided Platforms: Understanding their strengths and weaknesses Seminar date: 2014-05-22 Course: FEKN90 Företagsekonomi: Examensarbete på Civilekonomprogrammet (30 ECTS) Authors: Lucas Ehrenstråhle and Elin Mathies Supervisor: Magnus Johansson Five keywords: MSP, activities, resources, differentiation and platforms The purpose: is to investigate why small actors use multi-sided pl
Body size is one of the most important traits of zooplankton. It affects their metabolism, life history and ecology and can eventually influence community and ecosystem processes. Higher and more fluctuating temperatures due to climate change are expected to have an influence on zooplankton size. Based on general empirical evidence, warmer temperatures may lead to smaller zooplankton, while temper
Research question: How can the participation in the COII support companies to open up? Methodology: The thesis applies a single case study design to examine an opening up process in relation to open innovation. The thesis used a qualitative research strategy with inductive design with influences of deduction. The primary data emerged from semi-structured interviews to grasp an in-depth understand
Freezing injuries usually take place in thawed plant-based food products. To reduce freezing injuries, Pulse Electric Field (PEF) treatment and Vacuum Impregnation (VI) of cryoprotectant were used before the freezing process. The aim of PEF is to provoke electroporation to the membranes of the plant cells, thereby allowing the cryoprotective solution impregnated by VI to penetrate the cells. PEF
The aim of this study is to explore how employees at fountain houses in south of Sweden describes differences and similarities between them and members. The study is based on six qualitative interviews with employees, who has the title supervisors, from three different fountain houses. The empirics are analyzed throughout two main theories: Hannah Arendt’s theory about action, and Erving Goffman’s
This text is a qualitative study based on interviews with gender non normative co-parents who have experiences with the Danish healthcare system in the process of becoming a parent. The study explores how experiences with the healthcare system can be understood as a part of their subjectivation. Through the lens of queer feminism, represented by Judith Butler, it thus critically investigates how s
Policy making concerning prostitution is an element of ongoing processes in Europe. Recent changing in laws shed light on the double targets of the policies, they not only regulate economic activities of a discussed moral value, but they also attempt to contract sex trafficking illegal markets. Research is housing debates concerning the actual relationship occurring between prostitution laws and s
A current topic in today’s China is to find paths for passing the middle income. Although the restoration process has been ongoing for a couple of decades, the complete marketization transition has not yet turned into reality. However, the pace of development is still impressive, partly depending on an increasing private enterprise mobility. This paper provides a panel data analysis of Chinese reg
Syftet med denna kvalitativa studie är att undersöka hur patienter med traumarelaterad diagnos eller depression beskriver upplevelser och erfarenheter av självupplevda trauman för att få en bättre uppfattning om trauma som fenomen. Generellt beskrivs trauma som ett tydligt fenomen, som avskiljs från naturliga händelser i livet och som innefattar både subjektiva reaktioner och långvariga konsekvensThe aim of this qualitative study is to investigate aspects of trauma from a patients point of view, who have post traumatic stress disorder or depression, in order to get a better understanding about trauma as a phenomena. The overall conclusion is that trauma is described as a specific phenomena, that is an event that is not part of normal life and which includes aspects of the persons reaction
Background: There is a need to develop methods of determining concentration and purity for two new affinity ligands, protein T and protein H, in order to ensure the quality of an industrial production of said proteins. Aims: To develop a High Performance Size Exclusion Chromatography, HPSEC, method to determine concentration and purity of protein T and to improve an existing HPSEC method for
At present China suffers from severe desertification or land degradation. About 27% of the total territory was exposed in 2004, mainly the northern provinces. Consequences of desertification, such as floods or sandstorms, require huge effort and financial assets. Soil moisture understanding plays a key role in combating desertification and is necessary in order to implement a sustainable water man
Klimatförändringar förväntas öka frekvensen och intensiteten av klimatrelaterade risker, vilket i sin tur kan leda till så kallade Natech-olyckor, definierade som industriella olyckor där klimatrisker orsakar sekundära teknologiska händelser. Svenska industriverksamheter som hanterar farliga ämnen omfattas av Sevesolagstiftningen, där krav finns på att beakta sådana risker. Samtidigt är Natech-risClimate change is expected to increase the frequency and intensity of natural hazards, which in turn may lead to Natech accidents, defined as industrial accidents in which natural hazards trigger secondary technological events. Swedish industrial establishments that handle hazardous substances are subject to the Seveso legislation, which requires such risks to be taken into account. At the same ti
The aim of this master's thesis is to establish material models for three rubber materials using macroscopic data collected using Digital Image Correlation, DIC. DIC is a non-contact optical technique for measuring strain and displacement in a material by tracking points on a material during the deformation process.\\ The rubber materials are tested in both uniaxial tension and compression, fr
