In order to fulfil my objectives I based my material

The variation in the compliance level between the member states from 1995 to 2005 is analyzed to prove the fact that the Nordic member countries during the measured time period experienced a low number of infringements. The infringements that did occur were resolved faster and more efficient in the Nordic cou
With China's open door policy in the late of 1978 and accession to the World Trade Organization in 2001, the progress of globalization has accelerated the comprehensive development of China's society, in which the progress of intellectual property protection just is a typical example, because the reform and evolution of intellectual property protection not only reflects the China's dev
The 2002 Ceasefire Agreement in Sri Lanka has resulted in mass-migration of IDPs back to their places of origin. Vanni, in the northern LTTE-controlled part of the country, is also seeing a large number of IDPs coming to settle, including Muslims that had been forced to leave the area by the LTTE. The question is how this resettlement process is taking place, who is involved in it, and what are th

The results s

Twitter har beskrivits som ett relevant verktyg för svenska politiker för att hålla sig uppdaterade kring vad som händer inom den politiska världen. Twitter som kanal har tidigare benämnts som ett elitmedium, då det finns en stark närvaro av opin-ionsbildare av olika slag. Det är alltid viktigt att granska makthavares kommuni-kation och hur detta kan påverka demokratin. Vi har genomfört en kvalitaTwitter has been described as a must-have tool for Swedish politicians, to not fall behind in the constant flow of information. Previous research has defined Twitter as an elitist channel, due to its dense population of opinion-makers. It is important to keep a critical approach towards how people in power communicate and what possible effect their communications might have on the democratic proce
Varg (Canis lupus) i södra Sverige Efter att ha varit nästan utrotad från landet 1965 så har vargen nu stadigt återhämtat sig och ökar mer och mer i antal, dock finns den svenska varg populationen främst i mellersta Sverige. Men i samband med att populationen ökar så flyttar fler och fler djur söderut. Etableringen av rovdjur så som varg har visat sig ha stor positiv påverkan på ekosystem men ä

Popular Abstract in Swedish I blodet finns röda och vita blodkroppar eller blodceller, som är nödvändiga för vår överlevnad. Blodcellerna utvecklas i benmärgen från gemensamma ursprungsceller, så kallade stamceller och en konstant nyproduktion pågår genom hela livet. Under produktionen av mogna celler tillväxer och delar sig cellerna och får allt mer specialiserade egenskaper. Denna specialiseringAll hematopoietic cells are derived from the hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) in a continuous and dynamic process, regulated by a network of transcription factors in different combinations and extrinsic signals from growth factors (GFs) and other factors in the microenvironment. In the initial stages of hematopoiesis HSCs differentiate to progenitor cells with gradually more restricted lineage pote
This thesis aims at understanding, from a world-system analytical and decolonial perspective, the structural causes behind the outbreak of the Tipnis-conflict in Bolivia in 2011. Through interviews with representatives from the governmental party MAS and social movements that have taken up different positions in the conflict, and in dialogue with world-system analytical and decolonial theorists, t
The aim of the present Master’s Thesis was to improve the temperature control of a calorimetric instrument called STIC (Several Temperatures Isothermal Calorimeter). Calorimetry is the science of measuring heat, heat production rate or heat capacity; the present instrument is an isothermal calorimeter used for the measurement of thermal power from different types of processes. In the instrument, f
En av anledningarna till att Europeiska Unionen tilldelades Nobels fredspris år 2012 är den roll som organisationen har spelat för utvecklingen av mänskliga rättigheter i Europa, trots att det finns avsevärda oklarheter kring hur stort inflytande gällande rättigheter som EU faktiskt utövar. Med utgångspunkt i den normativa institutionalismens fokus på normers avgörande betydelse för hur organisatiOne of the reasons that the European Union was awarded the Nobel peace prize in 2012 is the role that the organization has played for the development of human rights within Europe, even though there is a great deal of obscurity as for the extent of the influence regarding rights that EU is really exerting. With a starting point in the focus of normative institutionalism on the crucial significance
No country has yet achieved full gender equality and one of the reasons is the stereotypical attitudes towards characteristics and roles of men and women.
