I denna undersökning har en stratigrafiskt högupplösande glödförluststudie utförts på senglaciala och tidigholocena sjösediment från Atteköps mosse i nordvästra Skåne. Studien har kompletterats med kornstorleksanalyser, kolanalyser, mätningar av magnetisk susceptibilitet och AMS 14C-dateringar. Undersökningen påvisar ett karaktäristiskt mönster i sedimentens sammansättning och i glödförlustkurvan,In this study, a high resolution loss on ignition analysis was performed over the Late Weichselian lacustrine sediments retrieved from Atteköps mosse, southwestern Sweden. The data set was complemented by grain-size measurements, total carbon analysis, magnetic susceptibility and AMS 14C dates. The analyzed data set reveals a characteristic pattern in lithology and the loss on ignition curve, wher

Background When projects and programmes are becoming ever more present in many of today’s organizations, these are also playing an increasingly important role in implementing the corporate strategy.

From a post colonial point of view there is reason to question the increasing streams of tourists from North to South, i.e. from former colonialist countries to former colonies. The purpose of this study is to investigate the Gambian tourism industry and its meetings, the dialogue taking place, its discourse and the production of post colonial stereotypes. A qualitative interview study with beach

I Sverige har begreppet ombudsman varit en del av vår myndighetsapparat sedan 1800-talet och har kommit att bli en stor exportvara.

To attract and to appeal to their consumers, designs and concepts of advertisements continually have to be changed in an industry that is saturated with similar campaigns. In this thesis, I analyse how this change is created through the depiction of “ugly models”. The focus lies on the way of their presentation in advertisements in order to make the “ugly” attractive. Based on the models’ presenta

The third UN Millennium Development Goal promotes “achieving gender equality and the empowerment of women” (UNDP 2013). It reflects the fact that violence against women (VAW) is a problem of global proportions which hinders the achievement of gender equality and at the same time has negative effects on countries’ social and economical well-being.

Sedan 2001 har EU-domstolen vid upprepade tillfällen framhållit att var och en som har lidit skada som orsakats av en överträdelse av EU:s konkurrensregler ska kunna kräva full ersättning för denna skada. Det har dock visat sig svårt för personer och företag som drabbats av en konkurrensskada att utnyttja denna EU-rättsliga rätt till ersättning. I syfte att främja skadeståndsprocesser baserade på Since 2001 the CJEU has repeatedly stated that, as a matter of EU law, any individual must be able to obtain compensation for harm suffered because of an infringement of EU competition law. As of today, victims of infringements of EU competition law are unable to effectively exercise that EU right. By introducing a Proposal for Directive, the Commission has taken a major step forward in promoting

Induction machines have been used in a wide range of applications due to its robustness and its low price. These characteristics make the induction machine a suitable option for industrial and home environments especially for those applications where the required speed is constant and the load does not change drastically. As an alternative to the induction machine, the synchronous machine, particu

The thesis about progressive collapse in precast concrete structures started because of the construction industry which has a new standard to internationalize the industry. The new standard is called Eurocode and requires houses that have more than five floors to have vertical bindings Problems have been discovered when a supporting wall gets knocked out for an unknown reason, such as a gas explos

The importance of food on achieving sustainability has been a topic increasingly moved to the forefront of the international debate.

Situation Awareness is defined as: “The perception of the elements in the environment within a volume of time and space, the comprehension of their meaning, and projection of their status in the future”. For a power system operator, sufficient Situation Awareness is achieved, when they know the current state of the system, why the system is in that particular state, and know if the power system wi

Moisture in roof constructions is currently a major concern in the building industry, especially in Sweden where the climate is often wet and the dry season short. In order to avoid these problems in the future there needs to be a greater understanding and focus on building techniques that prevent mold problems. Crucial to mold prevention is the vapor retarder, which is relied heavily upon in roof

Med anledning av EU:s direktiv mot skatteundandraganden ligger det på den svenska lagstiftaren att före slutet av år 2018 införa vissa ränteavdragsbegränsningsregler som motverkar aggressiv skatteplanering. Med anledning av detta, samt på grund av att lagstiftaren anser att det föreligger en snedvridning mellan finansiering med eget och lånat kapital, där lånefinansiering på grund av ränteavdragsmDue to the EU Anti-Tax Avoidance Directive, it is the Swedish legislator’s responsibility to introduce certain interest limitation rules to counter aggressive tax planning before the end of 2018. Due to this, and because the legislator considers that there is a distortion between own and borrowed capital, where loan funding is subsidized due to interest-rate deductions, the Swedish Ministry of Fin

Med anledning av att det på senare tid dykt upp rättsfall vad gäller en advokats skadeståndsansvar gentemot sin klient klarläggs förutsättningarna för detta utifrån Hovrätten över Skåne och Blekinge, mål nr T 1775-17, ”Setterwalls-målet” samt NJA 2018 s. 414, ”Advokats skadeståndsansvar”.

This essay deals with the so-called Islamic State´s propaganda paper Dabiq and how the use of history in it helps create historically based depictions of the Islamic State´s enemies. I have analysed the first four issues of Dabiq from 2014 and used Jakob Dahlbacka´s definition of religious use of history and prophetic use of history as an analytical frame. I have analysed both text and images in D

Offentlig upphandling är ett verktyg som har stor påverkan på marknaden på grund av dess stora köpkraft. EU vill använda den offentliga upphandlingen för att kunna uppnå en grön offentlig upphandling. EU antog 2010 en strategi som kallas för Europa 2020-strategin. Med den strategin bestämde sig EU för att uppnå vissa klimatmål. Grön offentlig upphandling skulle hjälpa till att uppnå de målen. Som Public procurement is a tool that has a major impact on the market due to its large purchasing power. The EU wants to use this tool to achieve a green public procurement.

As part of the strategy, a new dir

Based on regional differences in cities and countryside this bachelor thesis intends to explore regional and national prioritization in transport planning. With new investments effecting both growth and sustainability, an urban focus can leave minor municipalities and smaller towns unable to compete, possibly making a sustainable lifestyle exclusive to cities. Using a case study approach and con

Purpose: In order to study the Galactic Chemical Evolution, elemental abundances are needed. The purpose of this work is to investigate the chemical evolution of the Milky Way by determining several elemental abundances of giants in the local disk. Large surveys are up and coming, and several surveys are already working, and with these, the aim is high quality abundance measurements of several ele

Economic sanctions are defined as the exercise of pressure by one state to bring about a change in political behaviour of another state. Traditional economic sanctions are directed at the entire population of the sanctioned country while targeted sanctions are directed at the State’s government and/or individuals. Iran has become a sanction target first in 1979, which was imposed by United States

This thesis examines the origin of social capital from an institution-centered approach, in order to find whether the Public Administration and Decentralization Reform can increase social capital in Cambodia. Apart from this empirical aim, the theoretical ambition of the thesis is to test a Western-based theory on an untried setting and to develop the theory if it proves not applicable. The thesis
