The main purpose of this thesis is to clarify what the term flexicurity is and what it entails. Flexicurity is a labour market policy model that has the goal of creating more and better jobs. In itself, flexicurity is a political tool and is not a legal term. I will aim at clarifying how this political model has been transformed into legislation and how it can assist the labour market in different

Bakgrund: Den här studien undersöker elevers upplevelse av ljudmiljön i grundskolan. Forskning visar att dålig ljudmiljö försämrar bland annat taluppfattning och arbetsminne. Man har sett att barn påverkas i större utsträckning än vuxna men det finns få studier som undersöker hur de själva upplever ljudmiljön. En enkät utvecklades 2013 i England för att undersöka detta. Syftet med denna studie är

Isolerglas består normalt av två eller tre separerade glasrutor. Mellan dessa skapas en kavitet som består av en fyllnadsgas för att öka den isolerande förmågan hos enheten. Kaviteten måste vara försluten för att gasen inte ska sippra ut och för att förhindra att fukt ska trängas in i kaviteten. Detta gör att ett isolerglas är känsligt för tryck- och volymändring som kan uppstå om den blir utsatt An insulating glass unit (IGU) normally consists of two or three glass panes which are separated by a spacer. The spacer creates a cavity between the glass panes which is filled with a gas to increase the insulating capacity of the IGU. To keep the gas in the cavity and to stop vapor from getting in, the cavity has to be hermetically sealed. This makes the IGU sensitive to pressure change and volu

Irresponsible Business Practices (IBPs) form the counterpart of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). While the latter represents a very popular field of research, IBPs are still under- researched especially when both factors are put into context. In the furniture retail industry, IBPs are a rather recent subject in production process and supplier relationships. As the purpose of CSR is not to co

Currently, policy makers put high attention in supplying global energy demand by focusing on 2°C policy; global temperature anomaly based on the global mean temperature of pre-industrial era (13.7°C). How to keep the 2°C policy at global scope is the main question in climate framework. It is widely believed that primary energy resources (mainly coal, oil and natural gas) with focus on shale gas re

NuRDigt värre All genetisk information finns i DNA:t. Det är där informationen finns som bestämmer ifall någon får bruna eller blåa ögon, att vi har (oftast) tio tår, att vår lever producerar galla, all information som gör oss till oss helt enkelt. Informationen i DNA:t transkriberas till RNA som i sin tur kan translateras till protein. Alla våra celler bär på exakt samma DNA men ändå skiljer de sAll biological information is located in the genome. However, not all of the genome is available for transcription at all times. In the nucleus, genomic DNA is tightly packed around histones which are further packed into nucleosomes and chromatin. The packing of DNA inhibits transcription factors from transcribing the underlying DNA. To make the DNA more accessible, the packing can be modified in

This thesis analysed the development of international trade patterns during the period from 1980 to 2013. More specifically, the research focused on the structure of North-South relations during this period and how China has influenced its dynamic. The legacy of colonialism left behind a particlar configuration of international trade, which was highly disadvantageous for the countries of the globa

The correct positioning of photovoltaic panels is essential to ensure the maximum production of electrical energy. Two parameters are involved in this: the tilt angle and the angle of orientation. In the literature, though, the orientation angle receives little attention. In this work, I present an application I developed using the Python programming language in a GIS environment that can help fin

The focus of the research is to assess the variation of different components in the greenhouse farming of tomatoes in the county. By understanding the use of energy, water, fertilizer, and pesticides, it is pos

A critical review of the history of the discursive formation of Sino-Indian relations suggests that the largely negative mutual perceptions by the Chinese and Indian public and media are opposed by an optimistic discourse of both nations’ political and economic elites. This is also accompanied by a juxtaposed, binary discourse of the bilateral relation by members of the Liberal and Realist camp in

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning Syftet med examensarbetet är att undersöka två stärkelse-typer, waxy korn och majs stärkelse. Dessa behandlades med syra och de behandlade stärkelserna undersöktes vad avser deras reologiska egenskaper och sedan studerades om de kunde användas vid formulering av olika typer av stärkelsemikrosfärer. I denna studie skall stärkelse användas för att kapsla in jästceThe aim of this diploma work is to investigate the acid hydrolyses of two types of starch, waxy barley and maize starch to be applied for further usage, in rheology studies and formulation of starch microspheres. Modified starch has always been essential in many areas, especially in tablets, where it could be used as a disintegrant. Starch has also been investigated for manufacturing microspheres.

Området för hemlig avlyssning av elektronisk kommunikation (hemlig teleavlyssning) och hemlig övervakning av elektronisk kommunikation (hemlig teleövervakning) är ett område som tidvis vållar stor debatt bland jurister och även bland allmänheten. få EU-rättsliga akter har nog varit så medialt uppmärksammade som datalagringsdirektivet som nyligen ogiltigförklarades av Europeiska unionens domstol. DThe area of covert interception of electronic communication (telephone tapping) and covert surveillance of electronic communication (covert telephone surveillance or metering) is an area which at times causes much debate in the legal profession and among the general public as well. There are probably few legal acts of the European Union that have received as much attention in the media as the Data

The aggregation of proteins into amyloid fibrils via erroneous folding, also known as misfolding, occurs in several diseases. As a consequence, the study of the kinetics and thermodynamics of this process is currently intensely pursued. Here, we study a minimalistic lattice-based model for amyloid formation using Monte Carlo techniques to sample the grand canonical ensemble, where the chemical pot

The bearing capacity of road E22 from Hurva to Linderöd is analyzed using data from Falling Weight Deflectometer, FWD. A new method called Traffic Speed Deflectometer, TSD, is analyzed and compared to data from FWD to determine the application range of the new method. In addition to these analyzes, various bearing capacity dimensions are explained and used for both methods. From the FWD data a bac
