In the year of 2000 the world leaders signed on the Millennium Development Goals, which is eight measurable and time-bound targets to reduce world poverty and promote human rights. In order to achieve these sets of goals by 2015 a lot of foreign aid is being given. The approach towards aid and the MDGs are being criticised by William Easterly. He claims that this approach, which he calls planners

China’s economic development has made a remarkable achievement over the past three decades. However, compared with other developed economies, it still mainly relies on coal resources as its primary energy. As country’s leading coal resources producer, Shanxi is now in an awkward position. A possible explanation is this region suffering “Resource Curse”: that the abundant resources did not bring ra

Denna uppsats behandlar förhållandet mellan demokrati och ekonomi. Som en konsekvens av den ekonomiska krisen under 1990-talet reformerades den ekonomiska politiken i Sverige, såväl finanspolitiken som penningpolitiken fick nya förutsättningar.

Relationen mellan bytesdjur och rovdjur i forntida ekosystem kan rekonstrueras med hjälp av olika fossil som t.ex. kololiter, det vill säga förstenat mag- och tarminnehåll. Mosasaurier (familjen Mosasauridae) är en grupp marina ödlor med världsvid utbredning under sen krittid. De var generellt opportunistiska i sina födoval, men några arter som specialiserat sig på skalförsedda djur förekommer ockRelationships between prey and predator in ancient ecosystems can be reconstructed by interpreting fossil remains such as kololites (fossilized stomach and intestinal contents). They function as a direct evidence of food ingested and thus provide insights into the diet and digestive system of extinct animals. Mosasaurs (family Mosasauridae) are a cosmopolitan group of extinct marine lizards that e

The aim of this thesis is to develop a model which simulates the dynamic atmosphere as well as the implementation of this model with Matlab/Simulink. The dynamic atmosphere contains the characteristics of wind, turbulence, wind gusts and wind shear, which is integrated in a high fidelity flight simulation model where the dynamics of an aircraft in the atmosphere will be simulated. After the descri

The main objective of the Swedish Environmental Code, named Miljöbalken, is to minimize the negative effect that any “human activity” may cause humans and/or the environment.

Solidariskt ansvar är huvudregeln när flera skadevållare gör sig skyldiga till en och samma skada. Solidariskt skadeståndsansvar innebär att skadelidande kan kräva en av skadevållarna på hela skadeståndsbeloppet som om skadevållaren skulle varit ensam ansvarig. Det krävs att de allmänna förutsättningarna för skadeståndsskyldighet är uppfyllda för var och en av skadevållarna. Den som har blivit kräJoint and several liability is the general rule in Swedish law when multiple guilty parties are responsible for one together caused damage. Joint and several liability means that the injured party can claim that just one of tortfeasors is held responsible for the entire amount of the damages like as if the tortfeasor was alone responsible for the whole damage.
