This thesis studies and identifies effects of income growth and income inequality on poverty in Honduras. A Poverty Reduction Strategy (PRS) was implemented in Honduras in 2001 with the goal to reduce poverty by half by 2015. Since carrying out of PRS, poverty and inequality has only decreased slightly and growth in income has been small. The effects of growth in income and changes in the income d
The use of walls as divider between countries has, since the fall of the Berlin wall, been thought of as a dead tradition. With the common thinking of globalization as an opening and integration force, walls between countries could be seen as a paradox. They symbolises closed borders and cold relations. Since 1991 no more than 26 walls between countries has been built. This thesis examines why wal
The purpose of this thesis is to investigate how the characteristics of the employment conditions for a professional athlete appears, relative to the conclusion of the contract, the ongoing employment and the termination of the contract. It has been shown that sport has its own organization, with a high degree of autonomy, with its own legal framework. This does not, however, hinder labor regulati
Studieåret vid Lunds universitet består av två terminer – höst och vår. Här hittar du aktuella terminstider och information om hur du tar reda på om just din utbildning har annat startdatum. Läsåret startar vanligtvis den måndag som infaller mellan 28 augusti och 3 september.

Att använda molntjänster är en stor del av många företags vardag. I dessa molntjänster lagras ofta stora mängder personuppgifter. Den 22 mars 2018 antog den amerikanska kongressen den federala lagen ”CLOUD Act”. Lagen ger amerikanska brottsbekämpande myndigheter möjlighet att begära ut information, inbegripet personuppgifter, av en molntjänstleverantör som omfattas av amerikansk jurisdiktion, trotUsing cloud services is common in many companies' businesses. Large amounts of personal data are often stored in these cloud services. On March 22, 2018, the U.S. Congress passed the federal law “CLOUD Act”. The CLOUD Act allows U.S. law enforcement agencies to obtain information, including personal data, from a cloud service provider subject to U.S. jurisdiction, even though the information i
Syfte:Vårt syfte är att studera hur förväntnings- och prestationsgapet mellan revisorer och intressenter ser ut i Sverige, där investerare står som representanter för intressentgruppen. Vi avser också att undersöka vilka faktorer som påverkar förväntnings- och prestationsgapet samt utreda om de senaste årens stora revisionsskandaler, likt HQ Bank, har haft någon påverkan på gapet i Sverige. Metod:
Birds from semi-arid regions may suffer dehydration during hot, dry seasons with low food availability. During this period, both energetic costs and water requirements for thermoregulation increase, limiting the scope of activity. For granivorous birds feeding on dry seeds, this is a major challenge and availability of water may affect the value of food. Water availability could (1) increase the v
Amphiphilic graft copolymers were prepared via the radical copolymerization of poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) macromonomers with fluorocarbon or hydrocarbon acrylates in toluene with 2,2 ' -azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN) as an initiator. H-1 NMR spectroscopy confirmed that the composition of the graft copolymers corresponded well to the monomer feed. For gel electrolytes prepared from the amphiphilic c
Emerging knowledge of cartilage metabolism and structure has stimulated efforts to develop new cartilage-monitoring techniques in health and disease. This article gives an overview of cartilage matrix structure, cartilage metabolism, and significant exogenous factor's to show how such knowledge can guide the development of new means to monitor cartilage. Delayed contrast enhanced MRI of cartilage

This paper explores whether women can become the change agents for a sustainable transport sector and how such a change can be accomplished through transport policy. Based on the Swedish case, women still on average have transportation behaviour with lower environmental impact than men have; women also tend to have stronger preferences for improving sustainability in the sector. The results imply
The aim of this study was to explore how acid deposition may affect the concentration and quality of dissolved organic matter (DOM) in soil-water. This was done by a small-scale acidification experiment during two years where 0.5 × 0.5 m(2) plots were artificially irrigated with water with different sulfuric acid content, and soil-water was sampled using zero-tension lysimeters under the O-horizon
Many ectothermic species are currently expanding their distributions polewards due to anthropogenic global warming. Molecular genetic mechanisms facilitating range expansion under these conditions are largely unknown, but understanding these could help mitigate expanding pests and disease vectors, or help explain why some species fail to track changing climates. Here, using RNA-seq data, we examin
Disentangling the relative importance and potential interactions of selection and genetic drift in driving phenotypic divergence of species is a classical research topic in population genetics and evolutionary biology. Here, we evaluate the role of stochastic and selective forces on population divergence of a colour polymorphism in seven damselfly species of the genus Ischnura, with a particular f
