In September of 2017, the Swedish government introduced a proposal for a new Consultation Act that would require the government and other state agencies to consult with the indigenous Sami people on issues of importance to them. The aim of the proposed law is to strengthen and promote the influence of the Sami people over their own affairs. This thesis analyses whether the proposal is in line with
There were around one million apartments built in Sweden during 1965 to 1974 as part of the so called Swedish Million Programme, almost half of them concentrated in Stockholm, Gothenburg and Malmoe. These building are now considered unattractive. The need of renovation is urgent in many aspects -ventilation, windows, balconies, facades and sanitary pipe replacement. The total investment cost for t
Background/Problem Description: Creating innovative products and take them to the market is a struggle for many companies around the globe. At the Department of Security & Enterprise at Sony Mobile Communications in Lund it was believed that the innovation process could be enhanced if more focus would be put on pricing, adoption and timing. The belief at the department was that these three fac
Barns rättigheter har konsekvent missbrukats under väpnade konflikter. Det har skett mer än 266 000 allvarliga kränkningar av barns rättigheter mellan 2005 och 2020, även om det verkliga antalet förmodligen är högre. FN har identifierat sex allvarliga kränkningar av barns rättigheter vid väpnade konflik-ter. Avhandlingen syftar till att belysa hur upprättelse för kränkningar av de sex allvarliga kChildren’s rights have consistently been abused during armed conflicts. There have been more than 266,000 grave violations against children’s rights be-tween 2005 and 2020, even though the real number probably is higher. The UN has identified six grave violations against children’s right during armed conflict. The thesis aims to highlight how the reparation for violation of the six grave violation
The purpose of the study was to provide a foundation to understand the potential implications of performing digital acquisitions and its effects on digital capabilities for traditionally non-digital businesses. A two-way, time and entity, fixed regression model was adopted to investigate this relationship in the electric utility industry, between the years 2010-2021. The theoretical framework of
Stock markets around the world bear one thing in common, the presence of stock companies of different sizes, whereby two common representatives of size are small- and large-cap stocks. As of late, newspapers and financial institutes have reported a on a divergence in performance between these assets, associated with the increasing interest rates. The aim of this paper was to further explore the re
The ECJ’s judgment of 27 January 2021 in the case C-595/18 P (the ”Goldman Sachs case”) has caused a big buzz in the ever growing Private Equity sector. It confirmed the ruling of the GCEU of July 2018 case T-419/14 which in turn confirmed the Commission’s decision according to which Goldman Sachs has been held liable for an antitrust infringement committed by one of its portfolio companies. In al
This paper has the purpose to determine whether the attractive rates offered by a local Investment Bank in Mexico under structured products, more specifically under structured notes without principal protection denominated “Dual Structured Notes”, are plausible to get, showing whether the strikes of the implicit options were chosen within critical price values for the foreign exchange rate MXN/USD
The Maha Oya (river) originates in the Kandy district of Sri Lanka and travels about 130 km passing four districts to reach the sea at Kochchikade in Sri Lanka. It holds the 3rd largest average annual runoff among the 103 of distinct river basins in Sri Lanka. Its contribution as a fresh water source is of great significance. During year 2004 the river provided five percent of the total production
Disability is an aspect that forms a significant part of the human condition. According to the World Health Organization (WHO) an estimated 1 billion people worldwide live with a disability. That accounts for roughly 15 % of the entire human population, and therefore it has been sometimes referred to as the world's largest minority. The presence of people with disability is a phenomenon that i
This thesis investigates how the experience of founding a youth-led social-innovation project can enhance young people’s agency for sustainable development, through a qualitative single-case study of Ashoka Belgium’s 2023 Youth for Change (Y4C) programme. Grounded in a social-constructivist, abductive logic, the study uses semi-structured interviews and mobilises three strands of scholarship—Socia
A search is performed for dark matter particles produced in association with a resonantly produced pair of (Formula presented)-quarks with (Formula presented) using (Formula presented) of proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV recorded by the ATLAS detector at the LHC. This signature is expected in extensions of the standard model predicting the production of dark matter par
A search for T and Y vector-like quarks produced in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV and decaying into Wb in the fully hadronic final state is presented. The search uses 139 fb−1 of data collected by the ATLAS detector at the LHC from 2015 to 2018. The final state is characterised by a hadronically decaying W boson with large Lorentz boost and a b-tagged jet, which are
In Danish political discourse, social housing areas – also labelled migrant ‘ghettos’ – are currently strongly problematized, sometimes referred to as ‘holes in the national map of Denmark’ and described as fostering ‘parallel’ societies where gang cultures thrive and people live lives profoundly disengaged from the larger national community (cf. Johansen and Jensen 2017; Jensen 2016). Everyday li
PurposeCombination treatments—thermal ablation (TA) and transarterial chemoembolisation (TACE) have been suggested for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). After TA a transient hyperemic zone appears around the ablated area, a potential target for TACE. The aim was to determine when this peri-ablational hyperemia is at its widest and most intensely perfused.Materials and methodsThis prospective study e
This research approaches public administration reform in China from a domestic perspective. Whereas recognizing that the mechanisms behind the nature differ from the principle of New Public Management (NPM) of Anglo-Saxon tradition, the reform initiatives are similar. Municipal governments were encouraged to carry out NPM Reform towards governance model since 1998 to serve dual-purpose. That is st
International migration is a way to find work and support family members for many people in developing countries where income opportunities are few. The number of female migrants have grown and women migrate increasingly as main providers for their families or as heads of households. This thesis uses qualitative analysis to explore the migration process by comparing the reasons behind the migratio
In recent years, a wave of protests has swept the South Asian subcontinent. These protests have been spearheaded by Generation Z, a generation that has been described as disillusioned with, and disconnected from, politics. The protests have been met with disproportionate state violence, despite generally following non-violent disciplines. Bangladesh and Sri Lanka are two such countries. This thesi
Purpose: Children gain increased health and well-being by participating in physical activity (PA) and exercise. Globally, only 19% of children meet the World Health Organisation recommendations on PA and the rates are even lower among children with disabilities. Children with disabilities are often dependent on assistive exercise products (AEP) to be able to perform PA and exercise. The aim was
