Sanctions are one of the main policy tools used in order change behaviour of countries involved in conflicts, without using armed forces. This paper examines the possibility for a targeted country to escape the potential negative effects from sanctions by increasing trade with third countries that has not imposed sanctions. The analysis is carried out on the specific case of the sanctions against

This paper investigates the effects of behavioral finances on stock market participation by employing data from China Family Panel Study (CFPS). Availability and trust are chosen as the target variables to explain the participation problems in the stock market. The study finds evidence that financial service availability and individual trust have positive influences on the stock market participati

The intention of this study was to investigate how individuals who arrived to Sweden as unaccompanied children perceived their possibilities of using their strengths to achieve participation and autonomy. The questions posed in the essay aimed to capture the indivi-duals’ experiences of how their participation and autonomy were affected by their abilities, needs and preconditions. The results of t

The technology has advanced but the vehicle industry has not evolved at the same pace. Mechanical constructions with a steering wheel are still being used to control the steering of cars. The mechanical construction makes it harder to implement autonomous features, it adds weight and takes up space. It is commonly known that the steering wheel has been along since the early days of the car but is

Hur människor rör sig genom staden till vardags spelar roll. Inte minst inom stadsplanering har fysisk mobilitet kommit att bli en viktig fråga, då denna sägs ha potential att motverka segregationsprocesser. Trots detta råder det brist på akademisk forskning inom området. Denna uppsats kombinerar ett intresse för hur mobilitet respektive den vita medelklassen påverkar städers socio-spatiala uppdelPeople’s everyday movements across the urban space matter. Indeed, for city planners looking to counter urban segregation processes, the issue of physical mobility is of prime concern as it bears the potential of overcoming ethnic and socio-economic divisions in the city. Yet, there is a lack of academic research matching this interest. In examining the role of mobility and the white middle-class

Extant research within the entrepreneurial marketing field has typically focused on the migration away from traditional marketing concepts while mostly ignoring the inclusion of branding as a fundamental principle of marketing. This paper is specifically interested in the often overlooked element of a young firm’s ability (or lack thereof) to control its brand and brand identity as perceived by it

Forskningen om Emilie Flygare-Carléns (1807-1892) författarskap har länge framhävt en särskild relation till naturen, men sedan dess inträde i det sena 1900-talets genusvetenskapliga litteraturhistorier har denna relation komplicerats. Den här uppsatsen undersöker därför naturskildringar i författarens roman En natt vid Bullar-sjön (1847) med utgångspunkt i ekokritiska, dekonstruktivistiska perspeStudies of the authorship of Emilie Flygare-Carlén (1807-1892) have previously emphasised a distinct way of relating to nature in her writing, but the strengthened position of gender studies in examinations of literary history has complicated this relationship. For this reason, this essay analyses portrayals of nature in the author’s novel En natt vid Bullar-sjön (1847), from ecocritical, deconstr

Den här fallstudien syftar till att analysera och förklara varför ett visst samhälle i Anderna i norra Peru som arbetar och fungerar under kooperativ som social ordning har varit relativt sett framgångsrik när det gäller att skapa arbetstillfällen och en till synes mer utvecklad organisation. Atahualpa-Jerusalen bildades som ett kooperativ I kölvattnet av jordreformen från 1969 i Peru. Under 1970-This case study aims to analyse and explain why a specific community in the Andes of Northern Peru working under the social organisation of cooperative has been relatively successful in creating work opportunities and an apparent higher level of development and organisation. In the aftermath of the agrarian reform in Peru of 1969 Atahualpa-Jerusalen was formed as a cooperative. In the seventies, m

Nowadays, China has made great efforts to make international hotspot issues peacefully settled in Asia, Africa, and the Middle East. One challenge China faces on its road to global prominence is how to balance the increasing international responsibility and the established foreign policy principles that have been upheld for decades. The thesis attempts to answer why China sticks to the non-interfe

Title: A framework for how logistics service providers should handle returns as a warehouse operation for pure e-commerce companies Authors: Louise Meurling and Matilda Sturesson Supervisor: Joakim Kembro, Division of Engineering Logistics at LTH Problem description: Managing the reverse logistics process in a warehouse is a central part of the activities for companies operating in e-commerce.

Sedan mänsklighetens början har det alltid funnits de som dragits till natthimlen och förundrats över vad som kan finnas bortom det mörkaste av mörker. Funderingarna om att vi människor endast är en del av något mycket större började gro ordentligt i samband med teleskopet som verktyg, och när personer som Galileo Galileis och William Herschels började observera himlen med nya tekniker. Det visadeContext: The formation of the Galactic Bulge is a topic of active research. There are many scenarios based on observations and Galactic evolution models. The key properties which need to be well constrained observationally are the metallicity distributions of stars and the spatial metallicity gradients. The metallicity distribution of stars in the inner Galactic Bulge (|b| 0.1 dex) end of the dist

Studien syftade till att undersöka psykologiska och sociala faktorer i arbetsmiljön. Detta gjordes utifrån två hypoteser med fokus på mobbning, destruktivt ledarskap och socialt klimat. Hypotes 1 var att de individer som rapporterade om att de blivit utsatta för fler mobbningsbeteenden på sin arbetsplats också rapporterade om ett mer destruktivt ledarskap. Hypotes 2 var att individer som rapporterThe purpose of the study was to examine psychological and social factors in the work environment. This was done based on two hypotheses with a focus on bullying, destructive leadership and social climate. The first hypothesis stated that individuals who reported that they had been exposed to higher levels of workplace bullying behaviors also reported a more destructive leadership. The second hypot

Uppsatsen tar utgångspunkt i en pågående diskussion kring postsanningsbegreppet och fokuserar på hur det samhällsvetenskapliga forskningsfältet empiriskt och teoretiskt belägger hur vi befinner oss i ett postsanningssamhälle. Studiens syfte är att utifrån en kritisk textanalys analysera det akademiska samtalet om postsanningsbegreppets bakomliggande mekanismer, sanningsanspråk och empiriska belägg

Vi lever i en informationsekonomi där varje företag är beroende av informationstillgångar. Detta innebär att informationssäkerhet måste utvecklas för att skydda känsliga tillgångar. Ett av de största hoten för lyckad informationssäkerhet inom en organisation är de felaktiga åtgär- der och beteende hos de anställda när de hanterar information.

The United States is the only OECD country to not provide universal health coverage to its citizens. While majority of the population is able to obtain insurance through employer-sponsored plans, many low-income adults fall victim to the ‘coverage gap’ – earning too much to qualify for state-funded social programs, in jobs that fail to provide a viable alternative. The central aim of the Affordabl

Människor är mer uppkopplade till omvärlden än någonsin tidigare, och i kampen att hinna med och vara uppdaterad används multi-tasking. Problemet är att människan inte är förmögen att hålla full uppmärksamhet på flera olika stimuli samtidigt. I ett försök att vidare utöka kunskapen kring uppmärksamhet utfördes ett experiment för att undersöka kostnaden i effektivitet vid dual-tasking. Detta undersPeople are more connected to every aspect of the world than ever before, and in our struggle to keep up-to-date resort to multi-tasking. The problem is that people cannot focus effectively on several kinds of stimuli at once. To expand further current understanding of attention capacity, an experiment was conducted to investigate costs in effectivity during dual-tasking. This was examined by mergi

Among all cancer types, liver cancer has the second highest mortality rate. HCC is the most common liver cancer and patients usually have a very poor prognosis. The standard-of-care drug Sorafenib extends the life expectancy with just two to three months, making the development of new drugs for the treatment of HCC an important area of research. Here, the pharmaceutical candidates SfA1 and SfA2 w
