The U.S. adaptation to the provoked insurgencies in Afghanistan and Iraq has led to a new groundbreaking doctrine focusing on this “new” insurgency warfare. Counterinsurgency, or COIN, has become a beacon for Western states battling rogue and disparate insurgents. In the cases of Afghanistan and Iraq, PRTs have been chosen to be on the frontlines in this guerilla war. This study mainly seeks to di

Spring 2010 a gender certification project started at the Geological Department, Lund University. The project revolves around making students and employees more aware about gender and gender equality work and what impact it has on the whole organization. Because of that, I’ve tried to evaluate what has happened and what kind of result the certification has led to so far. I’ve also focused on PhD-s

IT är en viktig och nödvändig del i de flesta organisationer och genom att integrera IT med den övergripande affärsstrategin så kan man nå konkurrensfördelar. Vi valde att undersöka Läkemedels- och medicinteknikbranschen då denna bransch präglas av lagar och standarder, vilket ställer höga krav på de IT-system som används. I denna uppsats undersöktes hur IT-ansvarigas kunskap om tillvägagångssätt

Ryssland präglades under största delen av 1900-talet av den kommunistiska maktepoken, som fick sitt slut i och med sovjetunionens upplösning 1991. Den ryska övergången från ett centralstyrt totalitärt samhälle till en demokrati kan ses ur ett transitionsteoretiskt perspektiv, där landet ännu inte kan betraktas som demokratiskt konsoliderat. Ryssland har efter 1991 av organisationen Freedom House g

Vi har genomfört vår analys med hjälp av Arne Næss pro et contra metod, vilket inneburit att vi har analyserat argumenten som valts med beaktning mot dess hållbarhet och relevans.

Den här studiens syfte är att bidra till teoriutveckling inom området som berör inomstatliga väpnade konflikters varaktighet. Vi ställer elva hypoteser om hur olika variabler påverkar inomstatliga väpnade konflikters varaktighet som vi sedan analyserar kvantitativt. En del av hypoteserna är kopplade till Colliers (et al. 2004) och Fearons (2004) teorier kring inbördeskrig, men vi har även formuler

The purpose of this paper is to present a broad perspective regarding the historical similarities and differences in the development of asylum and refugee policy, at the supranational and national level.

Several hundred FDS simulations have been run using Monte Carlo analysis and probability distributions of input variables. The simulations have been run to investigate the propagation of uncertainty from model inputs to outputs in order to quantify uncertainties that could arise due to the choices of an FDS user. A method has also been presented for performing FDS Monte Carlo analyses. The results
