This thesis explores the nature of the challenges local NGOs face when responding to the humanitarian crisis in Venezuela. In doing so, it draws on material collected from distance interviews with Venezuelan NGOs involved in delivering humanitarian aid and on qualitative analysis of political statements from members of the Venezuelan government. Further, it investigates whether and how identified

For many years, critics of the European Union copyright framework have raised concerns about the lack of legal recognition of exceptions and limitations to copyright-protected works and other protected subject matter, and argued that the European Union copyright framework favours the protection of intellectual property over fundamental rights. The debate about this imbalance reached new heights wh

Denna uppsats ämnar undersöka hur äldre vuxna i Sverige mellan åldrarna 50-65 år upplever den datainsamling som sker på Facebook och de potentiella risker som finns med hur deras data hanteras. Undersökning genomfördes med hjälp av fyra semistrukturerade telefonintervjuer med äldre vuxna inom de åldersgränser som uppsatsen ämnar undersöka. Tre olika delområden för vår undersökning har identifierat

Cirrus clouds are high-level ice clouds covering ≈ 30% of Earth’s surface. The cirrus clouds ice crystals can be formed by heterogeneous or homogeneous nucleation, where temperatures for heterogeneous nucleation was set to -38 - -30 °C and for homogeneous nucleation below -42 °C. The study will focus on microphysical properties of cirrus clouds in the tropics, 0-30°, and the mid-latitudes, 30-60°,

Following a brief introduction on the history of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and the concept of the Circular Economy (CE), the impact of the dairy industry on the environment is introduced. This study then focuses on the gaps in research and the problem of implementing CE practices in the dairy industry. After a review of the literature on the Circular Economy and the Business Model, thi

In this paper, herding effect among pandemic emergencies, natural disaster emergencies and terrorist attacks emergencies is studied. This paper uses quantile regression with the approach proposed by Chiang and Zheng (2010) to detect herding during the time period 2001-2020. In terms of event types, herding is captured in every event group. More specifically, the pandemic group shows the most signi

Sea Level Rise (SLR) is a growing global concern that is heavily influenced by a warming climate. Because of a potentially large added mass to the ocean through ice melt, the Greenland Ice Sheet (GrIS) plays an important role in the contribution to SLR. The presence of slush on Greenland is the result of melting processes and it can work as an indicator of surface mass balance (SMB) patterns on th

I Helsingborg stad finns idag en önskan att använda mer hållbara transportmedel vid godstransporter. Staden har fem industrispår som används i liten utsträckning, mestadels av godstransportarbetet sker med lastbilar. I ett samråd med Helsingborgs stadskontor vill de ha svar på vad för nyttor gällande miljöeffekter det blir vid ett reducerat lastbilsflöde. Syftet med denna studie är att studera buIn Helsingborg city, there is today a desire to use more sustainable options of freight transport. The city has five industrial tracks that are used to a small extent, most of the freight transport are done by trucks. In consultation with the City of Helsingborg, they wanted answers to what the benefits of environmental effects a reduced truck flow contributed to. The purpose of this essay is to

A reduction of a small molecule might lower blood pressure by affecting T cells Hypertension, also called high blood pressure, is becoming a more and more serious global health issue. According to a survey by the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2019, about 1.13 billion people around the world suffering from hypertension. It is an important factor contributing to diseases involves heart and ves

In recent years many devices such as smartphones, smart watches and laptops have started being equipped with embedded SIM cards called eSIM, which have the possibility to be reprogrammed with new subscription data through a process called remote SIM provisioning. To enable the eSIM in these devices, the mobile operators have had to implement new systems for the remote SIM provisioning process, and

Forskning inom interstellära objekt, det vill säga objekt som har sitt ursprung utanför vårt solsystem, har pågått under decennier, men det var inte förrän 2017 som det första interstellära objektet i solsystemet upptäcktes. Det fick namnet 1I/'Oumuamua och skapade ett stort intresse både inom forskarvärlden och hos allmänheten. Två år senare, 2019, upptäcktes det andra och senaste interstelläResearch on InterStellar Objects (ISOs) has been done for several decades, however, the first observed ISO in the Solar system was only recently discovered in 2017. It was named 1I/'Oumuamua and was only passing though the Solar system, but this may not be the case for all objects of its kind. For instance, one could gain a bound orbit around the Sun if the right amount of nudge is acquired wh

The results confirm the general claim that extreme skewness is a result of long-term com-pounding induced by a single period standard deviation. The results confirm that the Swedish stock market has the same characteristics as that of the US market. I estimate that the Swe-dish stock market produced 1.2tnSEK wealth 1984 – 2018 – with an extreme concentration of 28 stocks representing all wealth cr

Äldre anställdas ställning på arbetsmarknaden är onekligen osäker. I detta arbete försöker jag att räta ut och förstå hur äldre arbetstagare är skyddade på arbetsmarknaden genom att undersöka hur gällande rätt är designat. Detta görs genom en komparativ studie mellan Sverige och Kina, där en rad olika undersökningsområden kopplat till anställningsskydd för äldre bearbetas. Arbetet berör och förklaThe status of the elderly on the labour market is undeniably precarious. In this thesis, I am trying to straighten out how the elderly are protected on the labour market and how the legislation to protect them is designed. This is done through a comparative study between Sweden and China, where a number of research areas associated with employment protection for elderly are processed. I am, in thi

The purpose of this thesis is to develop a comprehensive understanding of the distinction between diversity and inclusion in managing diversity, thereby elucidating the effects of workforce diversity in the organization. We drew upon the combination of two frameworks regarding diversity perspective and diversity climate to examine the reflections of diversity and inclusion in the organization. The

Mitt syfte med denna uppsats är att synliggöra problematiska maktrelationer som föreligger till synes neutralt framställda inom viljediskursen. Jag diskuterar hur SOU 2016:60, det vill säga förarbetena till Samtyckeslagen, diskursivt framställer rättsskyddssubjektet, samt hur denna konstruktion kan ses som en begränsning gentemot kvinnan. För att uppnå detta brukar jag en foucauldiansk diskursanalMy purpose throughout is to render visible certain problematic relations of power which are seemingly portrayed neutral within the discourse of will. I discuss how the discursive formations of SOU 2016:60, i.e. the preparatory works to the Samtyckeslagen , constructs a protected subject of law, and through the constitution of the subject acts limitingly towards her. To achieve this I am using a Fo

Rapporten är en brandteknisk riskvärdering med avseende på personsäkerhet i C-huset på campus Valla vid Linköpings universitet, under cosplayfestivalen NärCon som anordnas varje sommar. Syftet med rapporten var att förse ansvariga vid universitetet med underlag för att kunna säkerställa tillfredsställande brandsäkerhet med avseende på personers liv och hälsa. Målen som ansattes för att uppfylla syThe report was authored primarily for educational aims as part of the course Brandteknisk riskvärdering (VBRN70) at Lund University. The scope of the report entails the C building at campus Valla of Linköping University, during the annually held cosplay festival NärCon. The festival presents conditions differing from the building’s intended use. The purpose of the report was to provide university

A proactive approach towards law is becoming more common in competitive industries. While literature urges a causal relationship between a proactive approach and business success, it does not mention how future managers should adopt such an approach. In cases of environmental legislative restrictions, which are often disruptive and unpredictable for companies, it is difficult to anticipate and tur
