This thesis explores the ways for diasporas to influence politics in their homeland. Diaspora groups, having a triadic relationship, are categorized as transnational actors that are able to create networks and connections beyond the borders from abroad to homeland. Having such a relationship and a “homeland orientation”, diaspora groups may conduct activities to influence homeland politics. In tha

Avloppsvatten är rikt på organiskt material, det organiska materialet har med fördel använts för biogasproduktion. Den traditionella kvävereningsprocessen kräver organiskt material, därför har ett extern organiskt material använts. Flera studier har fokuserat på att finna en alternativ process för kväverening av avloppsvatten, där inget organiskt material behövs. En alternativ process som har studThe organic matter which the wastewater is rich in has been advantageously used for biogas production. Since, the traditional biological nitrogen wastewater treatment by nitrification denitrification requires organic matter; an external organic matter needs to be added. Recently, researches have been focusing on alternative processes for wastewater treatment where increased amount of carbon can be

När uppfinningar berör det lågteknologiska området, såsom det mekaniska, utgörs genomsnittsfackmannen av maximalt två personer. Är komplexitetsnivån hos uppfinningen dessutom relativt låg pekar studien på att genomsnittsfackmannen sannolikt utgörs av en person. En god vana när det gäller att avgöra erforderlig kunskapsnivå hos fackmannen är då att snegla på hur teknikerna i realiteten arbetar inomRegarding the area of low technologies, i.e. the mechanical, the person skilled in the art consists of two persons. If the level of complexity of the invention is low, this study indicates that the person skilled in the art consists of only one person. Preferably, when determining the level of knowledge of the skilled person, one should glance at the technicians in the relevant field and the knowl

Bedömning av elevtexter i svenskämnet på gymnasiet verkar vara komplicerat eftersom nuvarande kunskapskrav ger utrymme för tolkning och därmed inte är helt tydliga. Vad en lärare anser motsvarar kunskapskraven för de högre betygen anser kanske inte en annan lärare. En likvärdig bedömning blir därför inte helt lätt att uppnå eftersom bedömningar utgår från lärares individuella tolkningar av kunskap

Cambodia´s complicated political landscape has created a development context that the international community long struggled to navigate.

This study measures the effect of competition on leverage using unbalanced panel data from 4,957 US listed firms within 8 industries. To address the issues associated with concentration indexes, we contribute to the literature by using a new measure of competition – the Boone indicator which is based on efficiency. Initially results indicate a positive (negative) effect of competition (concentrati

Värmland in south central Sweden lies across the established zone of aquatic-terrestrial transition of the Scandinavian Ice Sheet margin during its rapid final retreat following the Younger Dryas. Recently acquired LiDAR data across Värmland allows more highly detailed observation and analysis of glacial landforms formed during this stage than has previously been possible. This study synthesises g
