Since EU’s expansion to incorporate former Communist countries, attempts to solve the so-called “Roma issue” spurred an unprecedented array of policies, interventions and measures at national and transnational level. Instead of the expected positive changes, discrimination and poverty worsened. The current migration waves, economic crisis, and the surge of far-right nationalism, contributed to an

I denna studie tillämpas Bar-Tals definitioner av historiebruk för att undersöka hur militären i Myanmar framställer sig själva liksom mot

Problem – Research in Operations strategies (OSs) has achieved a fundamental consensus on what constitutes it concerning process and content. However, it is still underdeveloped and without a consensus on what a Supply chain strategy (SCS) is and what constitute it; it is also unclear regarding how the OSs and SCSs can be tailored and how are they related to each other in an organization. Therefor

Hållbarhet och hållbara investeringar är aktuella frågor i vårt samhälle i dag. För många investerare handlar det inte längre endast om att skapa positiv avkastning utan även hur denna avkastning skapas på ett hållbart sätt. Frågan som börjar ta mer plats i dag är inte hur dyrt det är att analysera bolag efter deras hållbara principer, utan snarare hur dyrt det blir om vi inte gör det. Denna uppsaSocial responsibility and socially responsible investments are current issues in our society. For many investors it is not just about creating return anymore but also creating socially responsible return. The question that starts to form more and more is not how expensive it is to analyse companies with respect to how socially responsible they act but how expensive it is not to. This study examine

Encapsulation systems have long been studied, and the designs have varied in both capsule material as well as the type of cargo. The intended use have ranged from nanoreactors to delivery systems. This work presents an encapsulation system consisting of protein capsule and a protein cargo. The capsule is a redesigned hepatitis B virus capsid protein, in which the luminal extension has been altered

För att uppnå hållbar stadsutvecklings samtliga aspekter krävs en väl genomtänkt stadsplanering. Ökad befolkning i kombination med bostadsbrist är två faktorer som förstärker behovet av nybyggnation. Frågan är snarare var och hur det ska byggas än om det ska byggas. Skånes värdefulla jordbruksmark är viktig att ta i beaktande och därför är planerare på Malmö stadsbyggnadskontor överens om att motvThe concept of urban density is lacking clarity since it can be defined in different ways, but has tradionally consisted of one numerical measurement. To obtain further information about the density of a city, better methods with more variables and therefore including more aspects of the urban fabric, must be used. Spacemate consists of four variables, which are quantitative measures describing ur

De sällsynta jordartsmetallerna är en grupp av grundämnen som används mycket i elektronik och som finns med på EUs lista över kritiska råvaror. Utanför Riddarhyttan i Bergslagen, Sverige, finns en känd mineralisering av sällsynta jordartsmetaller i den metavulkaniska berggrunden. Genom att ta prover och analysera mineral som monazit och zirkon med hjälp av en metod som kallas Laser Ablation InductThe geochronology of felsic metavolcanic rocks hosting the Bastnäs-type rare earth element (REE) mineralization in the Riddarhyttan area in the Bergslagen region, Sweden, was investigated using Laser Ablation Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) U-Th-Pb on zircon and monazite. U-Pb data from four host rock samples yield dates of 1899 ± 4 Ma (MSWD=2.2), 1910 ± 5 Ma (MSWD=3.2), 1

I Iliaden 8.321-334 beskrivs hur den grekiske bågskytten Teukros träffas av en sten på nyckelbenet. Armen domnar, vilket tyder på en nervskada. I uppsatsen görs en språklig och medicinsk analys av Homeros anatomiska kunskaper. Mycket talar för att Homeros anatomiuppfattning framförallt är av empiriskt–funktionell art, den är i mindre grad grundad på systematiska kunskaper. I uppsatsen presenteras During the Trojan War, the Greek archer Teucer was hit by a stone on the collar-bone. His arm went numb, indicating a nerve injury. Through a linguistic and medical analysis, Homer’s anatomical knowledge is examined. The conclusion is that Homer’s concept of anatomy was mainly founded on an empirical and functional knowledge, to a lesser degree on systematic knowledge. The paper offers an explanat

Disaster response is most effective, if a high level of preparedness is in place before natural hazards strike. As many low-income countries are under-financed when it comes to Disaster Risk Reduction, it is lower-cost interventions such as Community-Based Preparedness Trainings that they often rely on to provide strategies to reduce the vulnerability of communities. These trainings are widely use
