Denna uppsats studerar genom en jämförande studie korruption utifrån fallen Sverige och Island under tidsperioden 2002 till 2017. Varje stats rättsväsendes - för studien relevanta - lagförändringar jämförs med aspirationen att finna korruptionshämmande effekter inom dessa. Parallellt sker även en teoriprövande studie utifrån tre olika perspektiv; the indirect big bang approach, principal-agentteor

Denna uppsats ämnar till att via en fallstudie av Bosnienkriget och konflikten i Kosovo påvisa en skillnad i NATO:s benägenhet att intervenera med media som den påverkande faktorn. För denna studie har det applicerats delar av två olika teorier, vilket är cnn-effekten och chain-ganging & buck-passing. Resultatet påvisade att när medias rapporter ger en uppmålning av en snabbt utvecklande proce

The research questions that motivates this study are about the attitudes and practices of students, academic researchers and professors with respect to the file-sharing website Sci- Hub. Previous research on Sci-Hub and file-sharing has confirmed there is still a lack of understanding of Sci-Hub use and users and more insight is required to help solve the problem of illegal file sharing. This stud

2007 publicerade statsvetaren Cas Mudde en bok där han definierade partifamiljen benämnd populistiskt högerradikala på basis av tre kärnideologiska kännetecken: nativism, auktoritarianism och populism. I boken klassificerades Sverigedemokraterna som tillhörande denna partifamilj. Genom analys av Sverigedemokraternas officiella partimaterial efter 2007 har vi undersökt om partiet har genomgått förä

This study concerns the conflict in Liberia and the following peace process. Liberia states a good example for a case where the UN resolution 1325 (2000) has been implemented in the peace process. This essay seeks to investigate how the UN resolution 1325 has taken a part in the post-conflict politics too. The main purpose is to screen how Liberias first president after the conflict, Ellen Johnson

We test the correlation between Clean Election Index from V-Dem and PEI Index from Electoral Integrity Project and use two country pairs that the indices rate very differently, but otherwise are very similar, to explore the differences. Our data test doesn’t support that improvements regarding laws biased towards incumbents, fairer election officials, fair media access or election violence lead to

An ambiguity characterises Swedish Sami policy. In some regards, Sweden is securing rights for the Sami and receiving praise from international organisations. However, Sweden is also criticised for not supporting Sami interests, as for instance regarding a ratification of the ILO convention No. 169. Thus, Swedish Sami policies have showed to support disparate ends; in some instances strengthening

Right-wing populist parties are on the rise all over Europe. While academia pays a lot of attention to well-established populist parties in France, Austria and Italy, new competitors such as the Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) in Germany are mostly disregarded. Specifically, the impact those new parties have before entering power on a federal level has been neglected. The present research concen

This thesis examines the way social norms affect meat-consuming behavior, through using dietary habits as a way of expressing a political identity. A theoretical framework of social psychological theories will explain the connection between social norms and meat-consumption, by conceptualizing identity as a fundamentally social construction, created within the social context. Theories will further

In May of 2016, the Swedish parliament voted yes to a Memorandum of Understanding between NATO and Sweden. The agreement was criticized by its opponents, who claimed that there was no public debate leading up to its acceptance, and that it changes the Swedish approach to defense politics, which has traditionally been one of neutrality. Both ruling parties in Sweden at the time of the vote, the Soc

Given Sweden’s reputation as a frontrunner in sustainable development, its problems of implementing its own environmental strategy is somewhat surprising. In any attempt to mitigate climate change, involving the local level will be absolutely crucial – both in Swedish efforts to achieve its climate policy, and to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions globally. Swedish municipalities are central im

Uppsatsen undersöker ur ett aktiemarknadsrättsligt och ett aktiebolagsrättsligt perspektiv hur styrelsen i Haldex Aktiebolag, Haldex, agerade i samband med ett uppköpserbjudande. I samband med uppköpserbjudandet bestämde sig styrelsen efter viss tid att inte längre samarbeta med budgivaren eftersom bolaget led skada i och med uppköpserbjudandet. Det fick budgivaren att kalla till bolagsstämma där This essay explores, from a securities law and company law perspective, how the board of Haldex Aktiebolag, Haldex, acted in connection with a public offer. In connection with the public offer, after a certain time, the board of directors decided not to cooperate with the bidder because the company suffered damage due to the public offer. The board’s new attitude towards the public offer made the

The torque capabilities of electrical machines are today limited by magnetic saturation and the ability to transfer thermal loads away from the machine. A solution to thermal management in power turbo-generators involves hollow conductors allowing direct cooling of the heat source thus increasing the power density significantly. The work done in this master thesis investigates the pos- sibilities

Creating music have always been a hard thing to do, as time have passed there have been much research done on the topic of creating high quality music. New approaches and theories are appearing on how to generate music, the latest one (as writing this paper) is based on deep neural networks. In this paper Nottinghams abc notation database will be the main training set used as training data for the

Problem description: Mature industrial enterprises stand before the challenge of developing strategies and competitive advantage through their logistics services. The business development within logistics and distribution services is fast and rapidly changing as the customer experience is becoming increasingly important and the additional services are becoming an integrated part of the product off

Svälter Kaliforniens humlor? Bin är viktiga pollinatörer, de hjälper växter att föröka sig inom både jordbruket och i naturen. Tyvärr minskar många bipopulationer i storlek, vilket kan innebära ett hot för matproduktion och naturliv. Jag vill med mitt arbete undersöka om en vanlig Kalifornisk humla är begränsad av tillgången på blommor som finns i landskapet kring deras kolonier, eftersom blommorGlobal pollinator populations are declining. One of the causes is land use change, which results in reduced flower resources in the landscape. Bumblebees have small stores of nectar and pollen and are therefore vulnerable to loss of flower resources. I test if forbs plantings, which enhance forage resources, can support colony development and reproductive success of bumblebee colonies in Californi

Längs Kaledonidernas östra erosionsfront finns den världskända bly- och zinkfyndigheten vid Laisvall (totalt 64 miljoner ton bruten malm) och mineraliseringen vid Granberget samt flertalet mindre malmkroppar av impregnationstyp bestående av blyglans och zinkblände som kristalliserat i klastiska bergarter. I äldre litteratur har mineraliseringsprocesserna och tidsspannet för mineralisationen diskutThe eastern Caledonian erosional front hosts the world-class Pb-Zn deposit at Laisvall (64 Mt mined) and Granberget mineralization, northern Sweden, along with several other smaller, related types of deposits consisting of impregnation mineralization of galena and sphalerite in clastic host rocks. Previous work have discussed the nature of the ore-forming processes and constraints for the timing o

Wind energy is one of the fastest growing renewable energies in Sweden. To support this growth, it is essential to give stakeholders, such as investors, municipalities and policy planers, access to high accuracy and high-resolution wind speed data. Essential components for an accurate wind energy potential prediction are the average long-term wind speed and the probability of occurrence of wind
