The British people narrowly voted to leave the EU in June 2016, leaving the researchers with the difficult task of predicting an event that has never taken place before. This thesis aims to contribute to the research about Brexit by analyzing, using two different methods, the effects on UK exports to the EU in the scenario of it joining the EEA after leaving the EU. The first approach uses the est
Den här uppsatsen undersöker och jämför fyra svenska tidningars rapportering om invasionen av Irak 2003. Fokus läggs på vad tidningarna skriver om skuldfrågan och krigets aktörer, konsekvenser och motiv samt huruvida de sätter in konflikten i ett lokalt eller ett globalt sammanhang. Studien kommer fram till att det finns såväl likheter som skillnader mellan hur tidningarna rapporterar kring Irakkr
Ghana’s strive to strengthen and consolidate its democracy is met by the incidence of electoral violence and low levels of women political participation. Having passed the ‘two turnover’ test prescribed by Samuel P. Huntington, Ghana became the beacon of hope for Africa’s democracy. However, elections in the country are marred by violence and the unbalanced participation of men and women. This pap
En studie om införlivandet av Bohuslän jämfört med Skånelänen under år 1662. Materialet som använts är från två kommissioner, en som gjorts i vardera län, och Malmö recess. Studien syfte är att urskilja likheter och skillnader i hur statsbildandet har gått till i två län där kulturen, språken, ekonomin och lagarna skiljts åt. Den ska dessutom upplysa om vad för olika förväntningar de två länens st
The exploitation of Sápmi, Sami land, began about 400 years ago. With a post-colonial approach, I, in this essay analyse the discourses behind the law that regulates reindeer herding. With a critical discourse analysis of a government bill (proposition 1971:51) with post-colonial and Marxist theories, I show that discourses of profit and development influence the way Sami culture is perceived. In
The Viking Age has long been understood to be a time of great violence. However, research in the last 50 or so years has tended to focus only on more peaceful aspects of Nordic cultures during that period. This thesis works to change that, and tries to find ways to bring violence back into the fold. The aim of this project is to test Johan Galtung’s needs-based typology of violence against Viking
This thesis aims to understand the discourses of ‘climate migration’ represented in the policies of Bangladesh, based on the conceptual framework created by existing discursive debate on ‘climate migration’ and migration theories. With the guidance of ‘What’s the problem represented to be?’ (WPR) approach proposed by Bacchi (2009), six national policies of Bangladesh are selected and a full- dimen
The relationship between a Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) and a government can be unpredictable, which could complicate the NGO’s operations in a resource dependent environment. If a government decides to abruptly cut its official development assistance allocation towards the civil society; does that not only reflect the government’s new development policy but it might also jeopardize the con
För att avgöra huruvida en isälvsavlagring som enligt Sveriges Geologiska Undersökning (SGU) bedöms ha uttagsmöjligheter på >125 l/s väster om Finjasjön är lämplig som reservgrundvattentäkt till Hässleholms kommun utfördes en geofysisk undersökning. Mätningar utfördes med georadar, stångslingram med tre frekvenser samt resistivitetsmätning och inducerad polarisation (IP) i form av en CVES-mätning
Denna uppsats kretsar kring min översättning av ett utdrag ur Alisa Ganijevas roman "Zjenich i nevesta". Inledningsvis redovisas en källtextanalys som tar upp kontext, teman, ironi, bildspråk samt textens narrativa egenskaper. I den efterföljande översättningsstrategin diskuterar jag var jag lagt mig på skalan imitativ–funktionell ifråga om översättningens semantiska och pragmatiska aspe
After more than 50 years of internal armed conflict, the peace agreement between the Colombian Government and the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia- People’s Army (FARC-EP) raises both hope and concern. There are several opportunities for people, derived from wealth and land redistribution. However, the environmental sustainability of the mechanisms to implement the agreements represent the b
Abstract Author: Maria Bjärlestam Title: ” The most important thing is that we dare to face this”- A qualitative study about the experiences and ways of workning for school counselors when it comes to mental illness among adolscents Supervisor: Lina Ponnert Assessor: Tove Harnett The main purpose of this study was to investigate what thoughts school counselors have about the reasons for mental
Målet med examensarbetet är att undersöka påverkan av fluid-struktur interaktionen för en svängande kropp nedsänkt i vatten. Vidare är det undersökt huruvida det går att modellera denna typ av fenomen med akustiska element i LS-DYNA med Mat\_Acoustic. Experiment med en svängande låda utfördes för att kunna jämföras med simuleringar av samma uppsättning. Experimenten innefattade fyra olika svängninThe purpose of this thesis is to investigate the effects of fluid-structure interaction on a submerged oscillating structure. It is to be determined whether it is possible to model such effects with acoustic fluid elements in LS-DYNA using Mat\_Acoustic. Experiments of an oscillating submerged box were performed and the results were used to compare simulations of the same setups. The setups compri
This thesis investigates the causal effects of the Peruvian conditional cash transfer (CCT) program, Juntos, on women’s empowerment defined along the psychological and familial dimensions. Usually, the main goal of CCTs is to reduce poverty. Women are key actors in the fulfillment of conditions and recipients of the transfer, and can thus also be affected by the program in terms of empowerment. Th
I svenska städer besår cirka 50 % av städernas grönytor av parker, kyrkogårdar, parkleder, men även av trädgårdar. Den här studien visar att äldre trädgårdar är större och grönare. Varför är då privata trädgårdar i urbana miljöer av intresse? Privatägda trädgårdar bidrar i stor utsträckning till den totala andelen grönyta i urbana miljöer. Grönytor bidrar till infiltration av dagvatten, vilket min
In this thesis, a few possible methods to clean nuisance signals from ion current measurements are explored. Ion current measurements can be used to optimise a combustion engine, but interference from the ignition system coupled with clipping caused by limitations in the measurement equipment limit the amount of data that can be extracted. This thesis develops a model which is used for simulation
The purpose of this thesis is to get an overview of how the Chinese legislation defines and understands violence in close relationships, to show which legal and political measurements the Chinese government takes in order to help women who are victims of domestic violence. Analysis is made on the basis of a legal perspective and radical feminist perspective. The legal perspective is based on indiv
China’s influence on the global stage is constantly expanding. Recently, a considerable amount of attention has been paid by the Chinese officials to the developments in the Arctic region. Majority of scientific works which have focused on the underlying rationale behind Chinese presence in the Arctic used theoretical tools provided by either liberal institutionalism or realism. Consequently, the
