Many coastal areas in Vietnam suffer from erosion. One of the worst affected areas is the Hai Hau beach, located in the Red River delta in northern Vietnam. Over the last hundred years, vast parts of the beach have eroded at an average rate of approximately 25 m per year. Important agricultural land has vanished into the sea and families have been forced to abandon their houses. The cause of the
Abstract Between 1989-1996 and 2000-2003 a civil war took place in Liberia. During the war many, many people were killed or were forced to flee. Another of the war's characteristics was the high number of women being sexually abused and beaten by the soldiers. The aim of this thesis is to analyze to what degree the peacekeeping personnel in Liberia, foremost staff working for the UN and agenc
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
A powerful cartel forces customers to pay significantly more for products and eliminates competition since its participants do not need to improve their productivity or the quality of their products. Cartels have historically exercised great influence over the international economy. During the inter-war period cartels were so powerful that economists have estimated that international cartels contr
The issue of possession of the air has been debated over literally thousands of years. The Romans debated the ownership of the air above their cornfields. When man finally could construct aircraft, in this case a balloon, heavier-than-air in the 1780's it did not take long before the first regulation came into force. The issue of state sovereignty had been discussed since the national states s
Temporary use is a growing phenomenon within strategic planning (Bishop & Williams, 2012) and temporary use is common both in Sweden and internationally (Haugen, 2021). There are many indications that temporary use is being established as an integral part of the contemporary urban planning methodology (Ferreri, 2015). However, the field of temporary urbanism and temporary use is relatively new

In recent years the importance of financial inclusion for economic growth has been thoroughly discussed. Particularly, the impact of mobile money in the context of developing economies has risen in prominence. This thesis adds to existing literature by exploring the how mobile money increases financial inclusion by conceptualizing it as a process with relative stages. Different theories have been
SiS särskilda ungdomshem är institutioner där barn och unga i behov av särskild tillsyn placeras, till största del sker detta med stöd av lagen (1990:52) med särskilda bestämmelser om vård av unga (LVU). Uppsatsen syftar till att utreda i vilken utsträckning rätten till hälsa enligt artikel 24 i Förenta nationernas konvention om barnets rättigheter (barnkonventionen), är uppfylld för flickor med SiS youth homes are institutions which provides compulsory care for young people with psychosocial problems, with legal support usually found in the act (SFS 1990:52) with special provisions on the care of young people (LVU). The purpose of the thesis is to examine whether the right to health as established in art. 24 of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, is respected for girls with men
Barnets skydd i väpnade konflikter är fast förankrat i internationell rätt. Konventioner och överenskommelser som berör barn betonar deras sårbarhet och särskilda behov av skydd. Att barn ska skyddas från krig och konflikt framstår som en självklarhet. Ändå görs de till avsiktliga måltavlor av krigets förövare. För snart 20 år sedan antog FN-medlemsstaterna en princip som ålade dem en skyldighet The protection of children in armed conflict is firmly embedded within international law. Conventions and other agreements concerning children emphasize their vulnerability and special need for protection. It is considered obvious that children should be protected from war and conflict. Yet, they are being deliberately targeted by perpetrators of war. Nearly 20 years ago, UN member states adopted

The European Union released an Artificial Intelligence (AI) regulation proposal in April 2021 aimed at laying down harmonised rules for AI circulating the Union market. The purpose of this study is to critically examine how accountability and individual, collective, and social harm was approached and framed by the proposal. Previous research has shown that AI and algorithmic bias and discriminatio
Purpose: In this study, we examine the data from Chinese companies to test the relationship between cash flow and investment. While a wide assortment of previous research has examined the relationship between cash flow and investment, they have largely focused on empirical analysis from an US or a Western perspective. But, to date, little attention has been paid to such relationship using empirica
According to a recent report by “Syria Relief” organisation, 75% of the Syrian Refugees who left Syria in the last six years are suffering from at least seven symptoms of Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Youth refugees are not finding the support they need; some of them are not even aware that they need it, which leads to a lack of communication and understanding in the evaluation of t
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
The purpose of this study was to examine, with a social constructionist and discourse analytic approach, how detention, detainment and forced return are represented in two Official Reports of the Swedish Government named “Förvarsutredningen” (Detention Report) (SOU 2009:60, SOU 2011:17). The aim of this study was also to examine how the proposals that are suggested in the reports are presented, ar
The objective with this master thesis is to analyze how the service life of wood in ground contact, with regard to decay, varies between different test fields. Different factors are evaluated whether it is possible to estimate the service life of a specimen in a specific test field. Also the influence of the climate on the service life in different test fields is investigated by calculated climate
Within the automotive industry today, companies save significant amounts of money through computer simulations. Mathematics through numerical methods becomes important when as in this case the investigation is done with the Finite Element Method (FEM). A self-pierced rivet (SPR) joint specimen in a T-peel case is studied. The specimen consists of 1.15 mm thick steel sheets with a rivet of 5 mm in
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
