The coexisting rise of China and Central European economies in the early 2000s as respectively the “Factory of the World” and the “Factory of Europe” raises the question whether Central Europe has either benefited from, or been harmed by the rise of China. This thesis therefore investigates the impact of the China shock on employment levels in Central Europe between 2000 and 2014. Using the WIOD 2

The purpose of the study is to further understand how the ‘Responsibility Discourse’ is constructed through the articulation of the Public and Private distinction in presently operated Public Private Development Partnerships (PPDP). By understanding the discourse in terms of accountability, role division and responsibility, the ambition is to map how the construction is made through the public and

In 1972 Sweden became the first country to allow citizens to change their legal gender. However, candidates were required to be sterilized. The matter of required sterilization pinpoints the ambivalent relationship between the state and the individual. The aim of this study is therefore to examine discursive change in the Swedish government’s approach toward transsexual people and in motives to re

The great climate impact of the agri-food sector has only recently been brought into light, and become a concern of political actors around the world. Standardizations as an initiative to govern this sector have received increasing attention, but while these initiatives can prove an effective tool for influencing consumer choice, they also hold certain problematic characteristics. Although they ar

Our task has been to compare the ability of three different regulators to control some single-input single-output systems with unknown parameters. The regulators were a minimal variance regulator, the Self-TUning REgulator STURE and an active suboptimally dual regulator. No simulations with the minimal variance regulator are shown since it turned out that it performs as STURE on systems with const

Föreliggande arbete grundar sig i vår ambition att göra ett trumläromedel som befinner sig i nutiden samtidigt som det ska vara anpassningsbart även till framtiden. I samband med studien har detta trumläromedel skapats i konceptform. Det framtagna konceptet omfattar, men är inte begränsat till; digitalisering, ett tydligt syfte, sammanhang, fokus på kreativitet och tydlig progression. FrågeställniThis study is based on our ambition to make a drum teaching material that is contemporary, whilst also adaptable to the future. In connection with the study, this drum teaching material has been created in concept form. The concept developed includes, but is not limited to; digitization, a clear purpose, context, focus on creativity and clear progression. This study´s issues can be summarized to;

How we choose to invest in the future generations is becoming increasingly imperative as researchers learn more about the long-term consequences of early childhood. The early-life literature suggests that empowered mothers invest more into their children and that matrilineal females are more empowered than patrilineal counterparts. To further understand the role of female empowerment on early chil

Efficiency requirements are today found in all Swedish municipalities and regions. With the care manager in lead, the home care organisations are today expected to find efficient solutions to organisational problems. The case of the care manager is studied through a thematic analysis of interview data and recruitment announcements. From 11 interviews with care managers and 23 care managers recruit

G protein kopplade receptorer (GPCRs) är en grupp proteiner som sitter tvärsigenom cellernas membran med delar på både utsidan och insidan. Som namnet förtäljer så kopplar dessa receptorer till en annan sorts proteiner, G proteiner, och dessa hittas på insidan av cellen. Tillsammans översätter dom extracellulära signaler till intracellulära vilket till slut resulterar i specifika fysiologiska effeG protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) is the largest superfamily of membrane proteins and convert a multitude of extracellular signals and turn them into intracellular responses by binding and activating just a few G proteins. The mechanism for activation is very conserved and is likely to be similar for all GPCRs and G proteins, but how a vast amount of GPCRs selectively couple to specific G protei

With the rapid development of the autonomous drive (AD) technology, driverless vehicles may soon be reality. As one of the most renowned car manufacturers in the world, Volvo Car Group are investing in and developing the technology. As a part of this development, this thesis was initiated at the Trunk Trim Department. The purpose of this thesis has been to research the area of luggage compartments

Talmy’s typology of motion events has been studiously explored from a range of angles, but few have focussed on the domain of caused motion. The few languages that have been studied in the domain of caused motion did not include Farsi. This thesis covers this research gap, and provides a first account of one type of caused motion, namely placement events, in Farsi, with the aim of finding out if t

Ett intressant mönster och hur det uppstod Många djur har vackra mönster. Huggormens svarta zigzag, lodjurets fläckar och abborrens mörka tvärband är bekanta mönster för de flesta av oss. Men varför har djur de mönster som de har? Den vetenskapliga gren som försöker förstå varför djur ser ut på de vis de gör kallas för evolutionsbiologi. En av de första evolutionsbiologerna var Charles Darwin. Ha

Over the past few decades, Japan and South Korea have experienced unprecedented levels of population ageing brought about by the countries’ persistent sub-replacement fertility rates. This fertility decline has to be addressed in order to ensure future social stability and economic growth. The primary purpose of this thesis is to determine the primary drivers behind these low fertility rates. The

Transnational actors such as the European Union, encourages and promotes the development of circular economics. The rationale is financially based, but it also comes from a perspective of sustainability. Funding is provided to programmes and projects with this intent in mind. Symbiosis is a concept within circular economics in which public and private actors can utilize each other’s residuals and
