Denna uppsats undersöker vilka mekanismer som missgynnar partier utanför Riksdagen (outsiders) till förmån för partier i Riksdagen (insiders) med ambitionen att utveckla en teoretiskt generaliserbar teori avseende effekter som uppstår till följd av väljares förhållande till parlamentariska spärrar. Detta sker genom att med komparativ metod jämföra insiders och outsiders utifrån ett antal operation

I år är det 28 år sedan Transnistrien bröt sig ut ur Moldavien och fyra år sedan städerna Donetsk och Luhansk, belägna i Donbassregionen, bröt sig ut ur Ukraina och förklarade sig självständiga. Denna uppsats undersöker och jämför hur EU:s insatser sett ut i dessa tre utbrytarregioner, samt hur utbrytarregionerna agerat gentemot EU. Syftet med detta är att studera vad fallet Transnistrien och rela

Denna uppsats syftar till att studera partnerskap mellan staten och tredje sektorn. Fallet är de ideella kvinnojourernas förändrade roll i Sverige från slutet av 1970-talet fram till idag. Uppsatsen är en fallstudie i två delar, varav den första är en historisk-institutionell analys av kvinnojourers förändrade roll och den andra analyserar relationen mellan kommun och kvinnojour med hjälp av partn

During the last decade of the twentieth century social capital experienced a boom in interest after one of the pioneers in the area, Robert D. Putnam, published his study on the subject: Making Democracy work. In his studies he suggests that there is a correlation between the amount of social capital in a state and the strength of its institutions, and as a consequence of this finding he has made

Being stateless, roughly means being without a citizenship of any nation. This is the definition of being stateless in legal terms, called de jure statelessness. There is also statelessness that entails being without the efficient protection of one’s nation, called de facto statelessness. Two groups of stateless migrants that correspond to these definitions are Bidoons from Kuwait and Palestinians

This thesis examines The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao (2007) by Junot Díaz as an example of postmodern fiction. The thesis begins with a background chapter that outlines the central characteristics of postmodern fiction, followed by three chapters that tackle one main postmodern aspect of the novel each: fragmentation, metafiction and intertextuality. First, the novel’s use of fragmentation is

Bränsleceller är ett intressant alternativ till förbränningsmotorer då bränsleceller har en högre effektivitet, är miljövänligare samt tystare. Bränslen som diesel, bensin samt det undersökta bränslet Jet A1, innehåller olika svårreagerade svavelföreningar. Problemet med bränslena är att de har ett relativt högt svavelinnehåll. Svavelföreningarna riskerar att förgifta katalysatorerna i de nedströLogistic fuels such as diesel and petrol, in which Jet A1 is included, are sulfur-containing fuels used for transports. The main problem with logistic fuels, when used in fuel cell (FC) applications, is their relatively high concentration of sulfur compounds. The sulfur compounds might poison the catalysts in all of the downstream processes, including the FC itself. Hydrodesulfurization (HDS) is

Previous studies have entertained the prospect of having 3D models substitute for their dry bone originals in osteological analysis. The objective of this study was to contribute to qualifying to what extent this may be possible given current technology. To this purpose, rather than choosing just a quantitative and purely technical method for evaluating models, as has been the norm in previous stu

Arbetet undersöker utvalda råvarufutres möjlighet att genom en cross-hedge prissäkra Dried Distillers Grain with Solubles (DDGS) som är en biprodukt från etanoltillverkning. Processen för att finna den bästa cross-hedgen sker genom OLS, ECM, VECM och MIDAS regressioner med både in sample estimeringar och out of sample prognostiseringar. Regressionerna använder börshandlade råvarufutures och säljpr

Since good cameras are becoming cheaper and embedded systems are getting more powerful, using cameras as the only sensor is getting more popular for visual navigation of robots. By using a robot to explore a flat surface a map can be gradually generated using the images taken by a downward looking camera. The thesis focus lies primarily on offline map building, where complete datasets are first ga

Molecular data have offered new opportunities to resolve phylogenies especially in highly diverse and species-rich groups. The resolution of evolutionary relationships within Lepidoptera have progressed with the development of molecular methods. New species and genera are regularly described for the recently studied noctuoid moth subfamily Nolinae. Because of the limits of morphological characters

According to the Environmental Protection Agency (2016) food production has a big impact on the climate, and a big part of the food gets wasted as garbage. About 91% of the food that the stores waste is still eatable (Naturvårdsverket, 2014). The government has set a goal to reduce the food waste with 20% until 2020 in comparison to 2010. In present days there’s a lot of research on how to maintai

The study circle is a cultural and educational phenomenon that has fundamentally affected Sweden and continues to do so even today. The present study investigates the Swedish study circle as a medium. This is done by looking at the notions about what the study circle would be during its early years (1902-1922), through the Swedish Good Templars and Oscar Olsson, also known as “the father of the st

The masters thesis The particular politics of the home - domestication and parental practices of digital games in everyday life aims at providing a closer look at how games played on phones, consoles or computers are regulated within the everyday of family life. Through semi-structured interviews with nine parents, the author creates understanding for how digital games are not only tied to the mor

I det här examensarbetet har jag låtit ett gammalt hamnmagasin transformeras till ett bibliotek. Det är ett projekt som handlar både om remake och om inredningsarkitektur. Jag ser arbetet som en undersökning av hur man kan ta sig an en byggnad med hjälp av inredning och låta möbler, material och ljus stå för både det rumsskapande och det stämningsskapande.This master thesis is about the transformation of an old warehouse into a new sort of library. It is a project on building conservation and interior architecture. I have been investigating how furniture, material and light can be used for creating different types of spaces and atmospheres.

This thesis aims to bring clarity to why the European Union promotes the democratic norm in external relationships, specifically in the European Neighbourhood Policy. To study norm diffusion in external contracts of the European Union the analytical framework of this thesis consists of a descriptive- and explanatory idea analysis. The perspectives used to identify how the promotion of democracy is

The European Union is affecting the member states in a various of ways. One way, that lately has become more meaningful for Swedish municipalities, is the European Social Fund (ESF). The main ambition with ESF is to promote employment and improve the situation for the European workers. To achieve this, the ESF is running projects on local, regional and state level in the member states. The aim of
