Denna uppsats kommer behandla ett område som kommit i skymundan av styrelseskicken demokrati och diktaturer. Under 1900-talet skedde en demokratiseringsvåg i världen, men många länder utvecklade inte full demokrati och hamnade i ett mellanting vi idag benämner som hybridregimer. En av de största anledningarna till bristande demokrati anses vara de legitimitetsproblemen som finns i länderna mellan

De senaste 30 åren har stora delar av den offentliga sektorn tagits över av privata företag. Vårdbolag, friskolor och privata vårdcentraler har ett efter ett tagits över av privata företag. En offentlig tjänst som gradvis blir mer privatiserad är den polisiära. Bevakningsföretag tar över tjänster som förr sköttes av polisen och patrullerande poliser ersätts med ordningsvakter. De ekonomiska krav s

Climate change represents one of the most serious threats to international environmental, social and economic security. The growing energy consumption is producing enormous amounts of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, which are fastening climate change and polluting the environment. For this reason, the European Union (EU) desires to act as a global leader in combating climate change and is therefor

This paper audits, theoretically and empirically, how the nature of the renewal projects in Turkey and social justice are closely connected by looking at spatial and urban politics with a special emphasis on the case of Tarlabasi Neighborhood in Istanbul. Based upon the theoretical framework of Henri Lefebvre's spatial triad, the study aims to illustrate the socio-economic and socio-cultural c

At this point, railway switching systems exchange takes about 15 hours to perform. It means that long time is needed if performing multiple exchanges. It even means that traffic on tracks has to be disallowed for a long amount of time. It costs maintenance companies like Infranord a lot of money to keep tracks free from other vehicles during the work. The company needs to purchase special permissi

The pattern separation process, where sensory input is given an individual place in memory without compromising or overwriting older memory representations, is highly sensitive to small changes in input, and as the similarity between items increases so does pattern separation demand (Clelland et al., 2009; Yassa & Stark, 2011). This experiment tested performance on a pattern separation-depende

Nuclear physics research is focused upon determining the structure of the atomic nucleus and nuclei, and understanding the interactions both within it and between them. To accomplish this, various probes of the nucleus are used - two types are 'electromagnetic' and 'hadronic'. An example of an electromagnetic probe is the photon, which has the advantage of interacting with the nu

Carbon emissions have recently been put under the spotlight since it is widely accepted that global warming is caused by the emission of greenhouse gases, of which carbon dioxide is the main component. One of the fastest rising sources of emissions from carbon emissions is the transport sector, with emissions often rising faster than the GDP growth rates of developing countries. The estimated shar

Detta examensarbete bygger på en översättning av nio texter ur en Greenpeace-kampanj som handlar om hållbart fiske. Texterna är publicerade på Greenpeace internationella webbplats och ska översättas för att kunna publiceras på Greenpeace svenska webbplats. Arbetet inleds med en analys av källtexten som baseras på de metoder för textanalys som Hellspong och Ledins presenterar i sin bok Vägar genom

Zambezi River Basin is an international river basin which sustains life of about 30 million people in its riparian countries: Angola, Botswana, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, Tanzania, Zambia and Zimbabwe. The main stream of the river enters to Mozambique with average flow of about 2330 m3/s and reaches the outfall in the Indian Ocean with about 4134 m3/s. This makes both the activities in the upstr

MAX-lab is a synchrotron radiation laboratory run in cooperation between Lund University and the Swedish Research Council. It currently consists of three stor-age rings, however, construction has begun of the fourth. MAX IV will be located outside of the Lund University Faculty of Engineering campus, in the northeastern part of Lund. Induced by the development in material technology at the nanomet

The aim of this master’s thesis is to examine how the Swedish model for production and distribution of talking books to the print disabled can be designed in the future, on the basis of the self-expressed needs of the users. Three questions were formulated in order to achieve this aim: 1. What needs do the users, according to themselves, have in relation to talking books to achieve equal means of

Abstract Author: Vlora Dibrani Title: The transnational responsibility - A qualitative study about Kosovoalbanian migrants supply responsibilities of their family members in Kosovo Supervisor: Anders P. Lundberg Keywords: Family, Kosovo, migrants, remittances, transnational The aim of this study was to investigate the expectations the Kosovoalbanian social system has on the migrants supply respo

Abstract: Total phosphorus (TP) concentration changes from 1990 to 2012 in acidified and limed lake group in Sweden were investigated and compared to neutral lake group. The Literature study showed that TP concentrations were generally reduced in acidified lakes due to reduced terrestrial losses of P into lakes, increased in-lake P precipitation and burial, and weakened biological P cycling. Altho

The objective of this qualitative study was to explore how six South African HIV-diagnosed persons experience the social and emotional consequences of being infected and how the support structure provided by the non-governmental organization Keiskamma affect their everyday lives. The qualitative approach consisted of semi-structured interviews with six of Keiskamma’s patients and observations of

Vi betraktar syntes och grendefekten av fyrlänks-mekanismer utifrån ett bergänsat antal task-positioner, baserat på kinematisk teori härledd från duala kvarternioner. Grendefekten är definierad som situationen där alla specificerade task-positionerna inte är sammankopplade av en kontinuerlig rörelse av mekanismens end-effector. Arbetsområ det av en fyrlänks-mekanism är härlett som snittet mellan tWe consider a finite position synthesis and branching avoidance of four-bar linkages based on kinematic theory derived from dual quaternions. The branching defect is defined as a situation where all specified task positions are not connected by a continuous motion of the linkage end effector. The workspace of a four-bar linkage is derived to be the intersection of two hyperboloids in the kinematic

The Baltic Sea is one of the most studied seas in the world and has been in the spotlight due to its wide range of environmental problems. Human impact and climate influence on the Baltic Sea is of major concerns. This study aims to reconstruct the environment of the south east coast of the Baltic Sea and also analyze the human impact and climate influence in changing the landscape and its impact

The aim of the thesis is to provide a solution for a new dome camera housing that fits Axis' P33 camera model so that it can be placed on ships. Extensive research is done into the maritime environment, corrosion, surface treatments and the state of Axis' current cameras. Detailed analysis is done regarding aluminum, stainless steel and plastics and their respective manufacturing methods.
