Why do some mediation strategies towards spoilers in internal conflicts fail, while others succeed? The aim of this thesis is to examine how the mediation strategies towards spoilers affect the outcome of internal conflicts through the analysis of the mediator and spoiler behaviour. The analytical point of departure is the explanatory behavioural variables: spoiler type, spoiler locus, mediator im

Abstract Detta arbete är en fallstudie på Lund's kommun och det som skedde där under nittiotalet. Huvudfoku's ligger på två kommunreformer som innebar kommundelsnämnderna's införande och avskaffande. Vår frågeställning har varit; Vilka förändringar har Lund's kommun gått igenom? Och; Hur kan man förstå dessa förändringar? Teorin består av flera olika vinklar där man problematisera

Over the past decades there has been a shift in world politics, from a state-centric view of world order towards a new global world order. Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) play an important role in this era of globalisation. Through an analysis, based on Rosenau´s view of the new global world order, the purpose of this study is to explore and discuss the complexity with an increased role of

The connection between rune stones and churches is a known phenomenon. Unfortunately, very little is known about the previous function of the church sites, and consequently very little is known about what the connection between rune stones and churches means. The purpose of this study is to examine the rune stones connected to churches in the administrative province of Jönköping, in an effort to a

Vår utgångspunkt är att de attityder som finns gentemot jämställdhetsarbete på en arbetsplats i hög grad bestämmer hur väl arbetet fungerar. Syftet med uppsatsen är således att undersöka attityderna i offentliga organisationer för att se möjligheter och svårigheter i arbetet med att nå jämställdhet. Studien tar sin teoretiska utgångspunkt i demokratiteori och alla människors lika värde, vilket mot

In order for any society to exist there must be a sense of belonging. In other words "We" need to be made distinctive and differentiated from "the Others". The aim of this thesis is to examine the processes behind the making and upholding of collective identities and the consequences of doing so. Theories regarding stereotypes, enemy images, power over the discourse and glocali

The overall purpose with this thesis has been to study the strategic development of the Swedish Green Party, Miljöpartiet de Gröna. From its first appearance in the Swedish parliament 1988 to its decision to cooperate with the Social Democrats and the Left Party in 1998, the Greens has gone from a radical antiparty to a pragmatic support party. The analysis has concentrated towards identifying the

Färskvatten förutspås i framtiden ? till följd av dess ökande knapphet ? ge upphov till många konflikter. Då vatten är en oersättlig resurs för såväl stat som individ är samarbete dock det vanligaste utfallet av knappheten idag. Denna studie ämnar undersöka det ovanligare utfallet (konflikt) och besvara frågeställningen: »varför har inte stabila avtal som reglerar hur vissa internationella vattend

This thesis focuses on the problems involving immigrants and their voting behaviour in Sweden. We presuppose that immigrants vote in a far less extent than Swedish citizen according to general statistics. We try to explain and give solutions to this problem. To our help we use both integration theory focusing on multiculturalism and electoral participation theories. Starting off in these two theo

A search for quantum black holes in electron + jet and muon + jet invariant mass spectra is performed with 140 fb-1 of data collected by the ATLAS detector in proton-proton collisions at √s = 13 TeV at the Large Hadron Collider. The observed invariant mass spectrum of lepton + jet pairs is consistent with Standard Model expectations. Upper limits are set at 95% confidence level on the production c

These two volumes of Kosmos (1998) are pedagogical models for the extended vocal techniques performer. Volume 1 has six pieces of various lengths for one to four parts featuring the composer's model of articulation. Volume 2 has fourteen pieces of various lengths for one to four parts dealing with reinforced harmonics. Both volumes can be performed by single players or by a choir.

ATLAS measured the centrality dependence of the dijet yield using Formula Presented of Formula Presented data collected at Formula Presented in 2016. The event centrality, which reflects the Formula Presented impact parameter, is characterized by the total transverse energy registered in the Pb-going side of the forward calorimeter. The central-to-peripheral ratio of the scaled dijet yields, Formu

Taffy Twisters (1998) features an extension of the composer's model of articulation.

Olfactory dysfunction is a common feature of both postviral upper respiratory tract infections (PV) and idiopathic Parkinson’s disease (PD). Our aim was to investigate potential differences in the connectivity of the posterior piriform cortex, a major component of the olfactory cortex, between PV and PD patients. Fifteen healthy controls (median age 66 years, 9 men), 15 PV (median age 63 years, 7

Background: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) poses a significant health burden, with patients facing a twofold higher risk of cardiovascular diseases compared to the general population. As a results, the international recommendations set forth by the European Alliance of Associations for Rheumatology, advocate for a structured cardiovascular (CV) risk management and adherence to a healthy lifestyle for p
