In 2018, the United States set in motion a comprehensive series of sanctions, which served as the catalyst for a notable technology and trade dispute. This dispute spanned a wide array of Chinese products, semiconductors among them, and marked a significant turning point in the evolving landscape of international commerce and technological competition. This study analyses the effect of sanctions o
LIBOR has been the dominant benchmark rate in the American market for pricing financial instruments. In 2012, the manipulation of LIBOR rates was uncovered, necessitating a change. SOFR was introduced as an alternative reference rate to replace LIBOR as the standard for pricing financial instruments. SOFR has been introduced as a more robust rate less susceptible to manipulation due to its sole re
This master’s thesis investigates the possibility of a new de-air concept for BorgWarners hydraulically actuated torque transfer couplings. De-airing of the hydraulic system is required to minimize the compressibility and ensure low response times. The current de-airing solution works well but limits the usable torque range of the couplings and produces a lot of noise. To meet increasingly demandi
This paper discusses the subject of economic growth and energy usage, focusing on a singular renewable energy source. The aim is to investigate the causal relationship between hydropower consumption and economic growth in China over the period 1965-2021. To achieve the aim of the study, the Toda-Yamamoto method for the Granger causality test was deployed. The result reports an absence of statistic

The aim of this study is to understand social work students' experiences during their time at work-based learning and the impact it has on the students. The purpose is to research and acknowledge how theoretical knowledge and work-based learning impacts students' professional development. During a four-month period, social work students have a part of their education placed in a profession
Unemployment has always been a fiercely debated topic in the social debate. Today's modern welfare societies have social protection networks aimed at protecting and helping individuals who, for various reasons, have fallen outside the labor market. These safety nets are aimed at maintaining a reasonable standard of living. Financial aid is the pis aller of the social protection network to prev
Börsintroduktioner sker årligen vilka uppmärksammas i media i olika utsträckningar. Dessa medievågor mäts av ett så kallat Search Volume Index vilket vi använt oss av för att se hur aktiekursen och avkastningarna påverkats av uppmärksamheten bolagen får vid börsintroduktion. Prisutvecklingen baseras också på om aktien är under- eller överprissatt vilket också undersöks i studien. Indexet har sats
Different homogenous and heterogenous catalysts, including different noble metals on silica or carbon and methyltrioxorhenium (MTO), were screened for their catalytic activity in the deoxydehydration of mucic and tartaric acid. A method for the determination of yields by NMR was developed and the reaction conditions, e.g. solvent composition and acidic catalyst, were optimized for tartaric acid. T
A new trade agreement, the African Continental Free Trade Area, was signed in 2018 and will unite the African nations into one trade union. The agreement seeks to integrate the African markets in several ways, with two objectives being to reduce tariffs with 90 percent and improve the level of trade facilitation within the continent. This paper investigates whether tariffs or trade procedures repr
In this essay I have looked at how the term extreme cinema should be categorized. Should it be categorized as a genre, a subgenre, an umbrella term or something else. To find this out I have divided the essay into three chapters, one long and two short. The first chapter is about how style and narrative affects the way extreme cinema is categorized. The second chapter looks at how reception and aw
When designing large buildings with complex geometry there is often a need for performance-based design and the use of computer models. CFD models like FDS that are available and validated for this purpose are typically time consuming and require large amounts of computing power. Zone models which are often faster and require less computing power are limited to simple geometries and smaller sized
This study has its basis in the relation between social services and the public employment services.

All had taken at least the majo
We live in a time that some choose to call the psychedelic renaissance. Once again, after a period of silence in the scientific world, studies about psychedelics and their effects continues to bring knowledge to the subject. In this renaissance of psychedelics there’s still somewhat a gap in research regarding the recreational use of the substances. The aim of this study has been to seek a better
Everyday activities play a fundamental part in our lives. But how do they relate to well-being? Specific types of activities, such as positive and social activities have been found to be related to subjective well-being (SWB). However, this pre-registered study aimed to investigate if self-reported everyday activities, and activities participants reported had the most impact on their SWB in the pa
Uppsatsens övergripande syfte var att undersöka hur belöningar påverkar barn och ungdomar med (n = 30) och utan (n = 31) ångestsyndrom avseende tendens att närma sig aversiv stimulering. Närmandebeteende har visat sig vara en viktig faktor vid grundforskning om ångest, men hade aldrig undersökts i en klinisk population. Bättre förståelse för denna process har potential att kunna användas för utvec
