The EU has a normative character in its foreign policy. While dealing with its relationship with the neighbours, the EU pays attention to exporting its norms. The enlargement policy is evidence of the EU’s normative power. However, from ENP to EaP, the EU seems not so effective in promoting normative changes in the target states. The existing researches lack a deep and comprehensive analysis of th
This paper investigates Dani Rodrik’s argument about premature deindustrialization processes in developing countries and its political repercussions for these countries with a focus on Turkey. Premature deindustrialization is defined as a fall of real MVA and employment shares of manufacturing at levels much lower than the developed countries experienced in the past. The consequences of this pheno
The EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) has been the subject of significant public discourse in legislative chambers, the media, business circles, and academia. Putting aside the formal legal terminology of market harmonisation and fundamental rights, the GDPR has been reported by many journalists and the European Commission as a tool that will help individuals within the EU to take con

Undersökning av näthinneceller odlade på ljuskänsliga nanotrådar Människans sinnen bombarderas ständigt med nya intryck. En stor del av dessa förmedlas via vår syn. Ljus kommer in i ögat och absorberas av ljuskänsliga fotopigment som finns i de yttre segmenten av näthinnans fotoreceptorer. Näthinnan är uppbyggd av flera olika skikt och av flera olika celltyper, både nervceller och stödjande gliacWorldwide, millions of people suffer from retinal degenerative diseases leading to cell death of light absorbing photoreceptors. This results in vision impairment and, in many cases, eventually blindness. A possible solution for patients gone legally blind due to retinal degeneration, is the use of retinal implants. The best performing retinal implants of today, regarding vision acuity, still give
Despite the media outcry whenever a full-service carrier announces its plan to unbundle its flight service and charge some of the service components as add-ons, there is an increasing number of full-service carriers around the globe dropped the full bundling approach in exchange for add-on bundling when selling their flight tickets. At the same time, the market of ancillary revenue continues to gr

De två Natura-2000 områdena Ravlunda och Revingehed i Skåne, södra Sverige, har genomgått en klimatkänslighetsanalys i denna studie som testade en utvärderingsmetod för relevans att använda inom Länsstyrelsen i Skånes arbete. Analysen gjordes med fokus på ekosystemtjänster identifierad för sanddominerade habitat på de två områdena. Genom användning av en nyligen publicerad report från NaturvårdsveThe two Natura-2000 areas of Ravlunda and Revingehed of Skåne, southern Sweden, have been subject to a climate change vulnerability assessment in this study, which tested an assessment method for relevance for work within the County Administrative Board of Skåne. The analysis was done with focus on ecosystem services found at the sand dominated habitats of the two areas. Using a recently published
Vissa personer skiljer mycket mellan sina känslor, de rapporterar att de känner ilska, frustration, ledsamhet och nedstämdhet, medan andra personer inte skiljer särskilt mycket mellan sina känslor, de rapporterar att de mår bra eller att de mår dåligt. Förmågan att skilja mellan sina känslor kallas emotionell granularitet (EG). Tidigare forskning har kopplat ihop EG med bättre psykisk hälsa och stSome people differentiate a great deal between their emotional experiences, they report experiencing grief, sadness, frustration, anger etc. Other people seem to differentiate between their emotional experiences less, they report feeling good or bad. The ability to differentiate between emotions is called emotional granularity (EG). Previous studies have linked EG to higher psychological well-bein
This thesis explores expressions of anger in Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë and Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë. Firstly, a brief survey of how anger has been interpreted by philosophers, theologians, doctors and scientists allows for better understanding of how anger has been conceptualised in the past. Secondly, contextual information specifically about nineteenth-century beliefs and practices
To investigate the differences in experienced stress and how this was moderated by the personality factors of work locus of control (WLOC) and extraversion between open plan-offices and activity based-offices (ABW), a questionnaire was sent out to the employees of nine different offices. 171 participants answered the questionnaire which consisted of five scales that measured perceived stress, dist
This thesis aims to explore and compare the segregation and the stigmatisation of inhabitants living in so-called ‘disadvantaged neighbourhoods’ through an identity perspective in the two cities Malmö (Sweden) and Lyon (France). I demonstrate that in addition to income factor, identity participates in territorial stigmatisation and reinforces urban segregation, that is the progressive clustering o
District heating systems need to be made more ecient. Lower system temperatures are desirable for the eciency of the entire system, but it also decreases the temperature-margins that can compensate for faults in the system. Therefor it is crucial to decrease these errors. The majority of the improvement potential is on the customer's side of the system; in the substation or in the building'
As the air quality in urban environments is a rising problem, a deeper understanding of how air pollution is dependent on different factors is necessary. In these environments, there are different parameters that effect how the chemical reactions of the pollutants are proceeding. Here the parameters solar radiation, temperature, humidity, emission factors and background concentrations of gaseous a
I Sverige finns det många förorenade områden som behöver åtgärdas för att inte utgöra någon risk på människors och djurs hälsa samt miljö. Det är vanligt att jord grävs upp och att grundvatten pumpas upp för att renas men det finns metoder som renar förorenade områden på plats i marken. Genom att spruta ner syreavgivande medel ner i marken genom rör kan de mikroorganismer som finns där snabbare brIt is common that oxygen is a limited factor in microbial decomposition of a substance.
