The Indo-Pakistani rivalry has lasted for more than seven decades, experienced four major wars, countless armed skirmishes and extensive cross-border communal violence, resulting in more than one million casualties, and enormous amounts of resources diverted towards security. The disputed Kashmir region is often cited as the main reason for the persistence of the conflict. However, due to environm
This thesis analysed the development of international trade patterns during the period from 1980 to 2013. More specifically, the research focused on the structure of North-South relations during this period and how China has influenced its dynamic. The legacy of colonialism left behind a particlar configuration of international trade, which was highly disadvantageous for the countries of the globa
Att bygga hus med glas är ingen nyhet. Det ger fördelar som att kunna se ut och få in dagsljus. Växthus skapar en skyddande miljö för växter, och då solen strålar värms byggnaden upp genom växthuseffekten. Kombineras ett vanligt boende med ett omslutande växthus skapas ett så kallat naturhus. Grundtanken är att kunna leva med minimal miljöpåverkan och maximal livskvalitet. Växthuset ger möjlighet Building houses with glass is not novelty. It provides benefits like being able to look out and shed light inside. Greenhouses create a protective environment for plants, and the sun rays heats up the building due to the greenhouse effect. Combining a standard accommodation with a wraparound greenhouse creates a so-called “nature house”. The basic idea is to be able to live with minimal environmen
Chronic pesticide exposure has been linked to several human diseases including cancer, Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, multiple sclerosis, cardiovascular disease, and kidney disease. Due to the potential risks to human health, the usage of pesticides has been a controversial topic. Paraquat (PQ), a commonly used pesticide worldwide, has toxic effects due to its generation of reactive oxy
Migration has always occurred throughout human history although in different shapes and for different motives. The reasons to why people choose to migrate are due to bad or inexistent: economic, environmental, health, food, personal, community and political securities.

The number of employers that has requested to look at jobseekers criminal records has increased significantly between 1995 and 2010. During 2014 an investigation began to review whether or not it should be allowed for employers to make this request from jobseekers. The investigation determined that there should be no circumstances where employers should be able to request a criminal record from jo
Efter att ha träffat många kollegor och vänner som inte upplever att deras förväntningar på sina arbetsuppgifter infrias, är det intressant att utforska hur detta missförstånd i kommunikationen uppstår. Denna studie har därför fokuserat på att undersöka om det redan i platsannonsskedet uppstår ett brus mellan arbetsgivare och arbetssökande, och hur det ser ut. Syftet med uppsatsen är att skapa e
In this paper the author will attempt to lay a foundation of information regarding entrants into the HD interactive entertainment or “video games” market in China using the Porter five competitive forces framework which helps measure the level of competition of the market. Since the entertainment industry in China is heavily regulated by government and gaming consoles have only been released from
This thesis is about the relationship between perceived risk and actual risk regarding bicycle infrastructure. The study examines cykelrondellen, the crossing Kaptensgatan–Kungsgatan in Malmö, Sweden. The crossing is seen by many as dangerous even though it is safe based on objective traffic safety numbers. A case study is made on the crossing from a technical viewpoint. The results from this stud
Referenda, as a form of direct democracy, became a popular tool for resolving important questions over the last decades. The issue of rights of sexual minorities, among others, has also become a quite popular topic for referenda. Referenda on human rights, also known as “anti-homosexual” referenda,” discriminatory “referenda or “referenda on the protection of family”, are dedicated to resolving th
The economic costs associated with currency crises following successful speculative attacks may motivate intervention by the public sector. This thesis uses macro data to examine the effects of two forms of public intervention with regard to debt inflows on the economic costs of a crisis. On the one hand, official creditors may provide debt financing to the country’s public sector. On the other,
This thesis explores the possibility of using IBMs cloud based software Watson for extracting complaints from social media. This is done with two different methods, both based on Watson's text parsing functionality. Different words or parts of sentences is then extracted and compared to other sources in order to determine if it can be considered a complaint, and if so, how common it is. A smal
Studien omfattade kvalitativa intervjuer av en heterogen grupp entreprenörer. Utifrån teorier kring ämnet entreprenörskap och konstruktionism har vi analyserat vårt empiriska material med fokus på vårt syfte; att skapa förståelse för entreprenörskapet utifrån aktörens egen synvinkel och, genom denna förståelse, behandla dess subjektivitet, sammanhang och omgivningens betydelse. Det framgår att rThe study included qualitative interviews of a heterogeneous group of entrepreneurs and was based on theories connected with the subject of entrepreneurship and constructionism. We have analyzed our empirical material focusing on our intent; to create an understanding of entrepreneurship based on operators' own viewpoint and, through this understanding, process its subjectivity, context and am
Here I present a conceptual synthesis of the processes governing soil carbon in the event of biochar application. Biochar is a product of a controlled pyrolysis process and is known for its physical, chemical and adsorptive properties. It has been speculated to be a tool for sequestering carbon in soil to offset greenhouse gas emissions, and as a soil amendment. The study is done in collaboration
The correct positioning of photovoltaic panels is essential to ensure the maximum production of electrical energy. Two parameters are involved in this: the tilt angle and the angle of orientation. In the literature, though, the orientation angle receives little attention. In this work, I present an application I developed using the Python programming language in a GIS environment that can help fin

TCO menar att det finns ett utbrett missbruk av visstidsanställning som anställningsform och har anmält Sverige till EU-kommissionen för brott mot visstidsdirektivet. Svenskt Näringsliv menar att det inte finns något missbruk av visstidsanställningen och menar att anmälan är obefogad. Syftet och frågeställningen för denna uppsats är tvådelad, för
