The aim of this study is to investigate whether crops are a mechanism through which drought affects terrorist activity. The theory suggests that drought can affect conflict if the group or country affected also is dependent on agriculture, experiences low economic development and is politically excluded. This study adds the perspective that decreased crop harvests, due to drought, can be understoo

This paper examines how permaculture in Denmark can contribute to the green transition towards a sustainable state.

By analysing collected material through semi-structured interviews with the framework ”Capitalism and its Criticism” originated from the two sociologist Boltanski

SMEs represent the majority of business activity among almost all economies. However, the financial market rarely meets them with appropriate financial products. This study investigates and provides empirical evidence on SMEs' financial inclusion in Kosovo and its impact on the community they operate. The research employs sequential explanatory mixed methods by utilising the World Bank Enterpr

Arbetet syftar till att undersöka hur en domstol kan gå tillväga i bevisvärderingen av sakkunnigbevisning när det finns motstridig sådan och hur en sådan bevisvärdering förhåller sig till robusthetskravet. Robusthet är ett mått på sannolikheten att ett bevisfaktums stöd för ett tema förändras vid ytterligare utredning. Med utgångspunkt i en deskriptiv del av arbetet, där bevisrättsliga principer The thesis’ purpose is to examine how a court of law can evaluate expert testimony when both the prosecutor and the defense have called experts who give contrary statements. The examined evidence evaluation is thereafter analyzed with regards to the notion of robustness in evidence. Robustness is a way of measuring the probability that additional evidence will alter the probability based on the ex

Almost two decades ago, Richard Florida published the first version of ‘The Rise Of The Creative Class’ and since then several cities in Sweden have implemented his ideas in the hope of bringing growth to the city. This study aims to investigate how Florida’s ideas can be found within the municipal planning of two sub-areas of Malmö, Hyllie, and Norra Sorgenfri. Furthermore, this case study was ba

Furthermore, obstacles against reduced and private car usage will be analyzed, as well as the parking standards change and its applications. This is done through a case study of Lund Municipality in Scania, Sweden, in the areas of Brunnshög and Södra Råbylund. The case study involves a

Genom att utnyttja generella socialpsykologiska mänskliga sårbarhetsfaktorer kan en gärningsperson manipulera en individ att lämna ifrån sig konfidentiell information. Utnyttjandet av mänsklig kontakt och förtroende i syfte att erhålla information kan företas med hjälp av informationsteknik eller genom en mer traditionell och humanistisk interaktion. Denna typ av utnyttjande benämns som social manBy utilizing general social psychological human vulnerability factors, an offender can manipulate an individual to disclose confidential information. The utilization of human contact and trust for the purpose of obtaining information can be done with the help of information technology or through traditional humanistic interaction. This type of exploitation is referred to as social engineering. The

Det förekommer att brott begås av personer som i gärningsögonblicket inte var ”sig själva”. Inom straffrätten brukar man då tala om ett tillstånd av tillfällig sinnesförvirring. Det har länge varit osäkert hur straffrättssystemet bör hantera brott som begås under påverkan av ett sådant tillstånd. Till skillnad från långvariga förvirringstillstånd och tillstånd som bedöms ha varit självförvållade sCrimes are sometimes committed by persons who are not ”themselves” at the time of the offence. Within the field of criminal law, one usually speaks of a state of temporary aberration when referring to such circumstances. For a long time, it has been uncertain how the criminal justice system should handle crimes committed under such a condition. Unlike long-standing states of confusion and states t

Elektromagnetiska vågor, även kända som radiovågor, är vågor som sprider sig med låga frekvenser från 3 till 30 kHz. Dessa lågfrekventa vågor används vanligtvis när man önskar kommunicera med ubåtar. De kan emellertid också användas på land för att mäta skillnader i jord– och bergarters elektriska konduktivitet. Denna mätteknik kallas Very-Low-Frequency Electromagnetics (VLF-EM) och har framgångsrElectromagnetic waves, also known as radio waves, which propagate at low frequencies of only 3 kHz to 30 kHz, are usually used for communication with submarines. However, these waves can also be used on land to measure differences in the electrical conductivity of the subsurface. This technique is called Very-Low-Frequency Electromagnetics (VLF-EM) and has been successfully used to gain an insight

Syftet med denna studie är att få en bredare förståelse för de faktorer som påverkar valet av genretillhörighet bland saxofonister utifrån två breda genrekategorier: jazz/afroamerikansk musik och klassisk musik. Studiens fokus går att sammanfatta i följande frågeställningar: • När och hur brukar en saxofonist välja genretillhörighet, om det ens är ett aktivt val? • Finns det några korrelationer me

Economic growth has always been a topic of interest. The approach to influencing factors has developed over time. Due to the established theories broadly generalized assumptions, more focus has been assigned to the stock market. Studies on the topic present different results and therefore more research is of demand. The purpose of the study is to examine whether the stock market can be used as an

This paper analyzes trade in services’ vulnerability to exogenous shocks in order to contribute to the often-neglected area of international trade in services. It is accomplished by examining how Sweden’s border measures during the European refugee crisis affected services trade between Sweden and Denmark. The impact of the border measures is estimated with a difference-in-differences model: Swede

För en person med funktionsnedsättning kan det finnas hinder som innebär att rätten till delaktighet i arbetslivet på lika villkor som andra begränsas. Denna utredning syftar till att med den rättsdogmatiska metoden utreda vad som innefattas i arbetsgivarens ansvar att motverka diskriminering och främja personer med funktionsnedsättnings rätt till deltagande i arbetslivet. I såväl internationell sFor a person with a disability there may be obstacles which imply that the right to participate in working life on equal terms as others is limited. The purpose of this essay is to, with the dogmatic method, examine the meaning of the employer's responsibility to counteract discrimination and support people with disabilities' right to participate in working life. As well in international a

This project is about focusing a Gaussian laser beam that has a spatial phase profile applied by a spatial light modulator. The goal is to be able to control the shape, position and phase of the peak at the focus and to split up the peak at the focus into several peaks. Controlling the profile of the beam at the focus has interesting applications for opto-optical modulation. A code was written in

Då städerna förtätas blir det alltmer aktuellt att förlägga anläggningar under marken. För att få åtkomst till underjorden, vid t.ex. ett tunnelbygge, så konstrueras vertikala åtkomstschakt, se Figur 1. För att förhindra att schaktet rasar samman så används någon form av stödkonstruktion för att hålla emot det horisontella jordtrycket. Den geometriska utformningen av stödkonstruktionen kan på olikUrbanisation is causing densification of cities and more and more facilities are being placed in the underground to utilise the urban space as efficiently as possible. Access to the underground is obtained by constructing vertical access shafts. By constructing the shaft with a circular plan geometry, an effective construction is obtained which can carry large earth pressure loads by utilising the

Since Patent Boxes’ first emergence in the 1970’s in Ireland their presence has been fiercely debated. Since their appearance they have grown in numbers and are now present in a multitude of countries across the world. From the perspective of countries and their respective government the reason to their implementation are the following: (i) to incentivize investment in R&D, (ii) to attract (or

Community-based governance (CBG) has become a widely accepted concept for rural water provision in low and middle-income countries. However, it is being questioned if CBG has reached its limits due to numerous reports of the non-functionality of rural water systems. This study aims at understanding the role of intermediary organizations for CBG and how their relational character can improve rural
