Some Swedish parties argue that more money to the military leads to more feminist security. Some parties are saying the opposite though, which goes together with the Standpoint Feminism Theory. This theory says that in order to be able to make the meaning of security to something that includes women we must change today’s perspective, which is based on views from men, which made a realism view dom

Sedan sekelskiftet har relationen mellan Ryssland och USA blivit frostig. Retoriken är djärvare, politiken tuffare och mediala spekulationer om det kalla krigets återvändo är inte ovanligt. En möjlig förklaring ges av Samuel P. Huntington i hans inflytelserika, men enligt somliga kontroversiella, teori om civilisationernas kamp. Enligt honom kommer framtidens konflikter i allt högre grad att äga r

This study shows the importance transatlantic relations to the development of the CSDP.

Deliberate and systematic destruction of cultural, historical and religious sites was an integral part of the ethnic cleansing policy used by the Serbian separatist forces in Bosnia and Hercegovina during the war between 1992 and 1995. In this essay I discuss deliberate and systematic destruction as a way of “killing memory” in a process of creating new Serbian national identity. In a society such

Proteiner består av långa kedjor med aminosyror, som kan veckas till tredimensionella strukturer. Proteinerna interagerar med andra proteiner och utför olika funktioner i cellen, bland annat meddelande i och mellan celler, läsa av DNA och transport av syre i blodet, för att nämna några. Tidigare har forskare trott att alla proteiner har en fast och bestämd tredimensionell struktur, och att den strIntrinsically disordered proteins are fully functional proteins without a three-dimensional structure. Intrinsically disordered proteins can, in the same way as ordered proteins, interact with other proteins to fulful their function. When intrinsically disordered proteins interact with other proteins they can form complexes, so-called fuzzy complexes, with different degrees of disorder still prese

The aim of this thesis was to develop a way to evaluate the mobility of the wrist or hand after an injury. To do this a prototype of a compression glove with added conductive silicone was made. A tensile test was done first to test linearity between resistance and elongation. Thereafter this was implemented on the prototype. The silicone, Elastosil LR3162 showed good proprieties for the purpose w

This master thesis was a project in cooperation with Höganäs AB. The aim was to increase the apparent density (AD) of two biomass chars, by three different agglomeration methods. The reason for the investigation is that biomass char could be used as a reducing agent in the sponge iron process at Höganäs AB. The goal was to exchange anthracite in the reduction mixture to agglomerated biomass char.

Many natural resources lead economies experience worse economic performance than their exports lead counterparts. This phenomenon is known as the Resource Curse, and many resource abundant countries face it. This study is aimed to critically assess existing Resource Curse theory by comparing two seemingly different cases Kazakhstan and Norway. Based on the Resource Curse theory hypothesis suggests

In this thesis, a stronger support for Model Predictive Control (MPC) in JModelica.org has been implemented. JModelica.org is an open-source software for simulation and optimization of systems described by Modelica models. MPC is an optimization-based control strategy where one formulates an Optimal Control Problem (OCP) to describe the aim of the controller. At discrete time points the state of t

The Sjölunda wastewater treatment plant faces the challenge of tougher demands for the quality of the water leaving the plant and entering the Öresund strait between Denmark and Sweden. At the same time, the population of Malmö with neighbourhood is growing rapidly, which means an increase in the loading on the plant. The residence time for the active microbes, the “sludge”, in the first biologicaAlthough 100 years old, the activated sludge system remains inevitable for modern wastewater treatment. Advancements within the development of mainstream nitrogen removal techniques based on anaerobic ammonium-oxidising bacteria have renewed the interest in traditional, high-loaded activated sludge systems for COD removal only. In order for activated sludge plants to be efficient in terms of energ

Attributional styles have been paid little attention in the organizational context and previous research has mostly focused on the consequences of attributional styles, such as how attributional styles influence work behaviors. Attributional styles development in work settings has thereby been paid little attention, as for example, how individuals’ way of attributing in an organization can be shap

Most migratory bird species divide their migration in stages of flight and stopovers. They use these stopovers to refuel the energy reserves needed to face their long migration journeys. These stopovers are an important element to determine the overall migration speed. Time spent on migration and arrival date to the wintering grounds have been demonstrated to have a large effects the following bre

Nowadays society is becoming more aware of the fact that energy use has a negative environmental impact, contributing to fossil fuels depletion and global warming increase. Therefore, the Swedish Parliament has adopted the The European Comission’s 20-20-20 goals, climate and energy policy targets that shall be achieved by 2020, referring to 20% reduction of CO2 emissions, 20% increase in energy ef

Bakgrund: Att konsumera resor har blivit ett allt vanligare sätt för individer att skapa och förmedla sin identitet. Hur och var individer reser påverkar inte bara hur de ser på sig själva, utan det skapar även en uppfattning av hur omgivningen uppfattar dem. Resultatet har blivit att individer inte väljer resmål utifrån sina önskemål, utan utifrån vilken bild de vill förmedla av sig själva. Efter
