In Nepal, dams have been targeted as the most viable means of energy generation. However, dam projects often necessitate the relocation and resettlement of people to make way for reservoirs; processes that may pose great challenges for affected people, given that their homes, land, and livelihoods are lost to some extent. This thesis analyzes the challenges facing the Nepali state in ensuring that
ABSTRACT The overarching aim of this sociology of law study is to explore internal processes at a court to get deeper knowledge of norms within this legal organisation. The point of departure is a specific research interest in studying professional norms on ‘good treatment’ in a local court. Another aim is to study the importance that the internal professional norms have on the external treatment
Background In mild asthma exercise-induced bronchoconstriction (EIB) is usually treated with inhaled short-acting beta(2) agonists (SABAs) on demand. Objective The hypothesis was that a combination of budesonide and formoterol on demand diminishes EIB equally to regular inhalation of budesonide and is more effective than terbutaline inhaled on demand. Methods Sixty-six patients with asthma (>12 ye
Broadband circuit models for electric machines are effective means to understand, predict, and control the phenomenon of conducted Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) from immunity/susceptibility perspective. These models should cover the capacitive and inductive coupling behavior of the component along the frequency band of interest. The circuit models when used under generic SPICE simulation soft
Popular Abstract in Swedish Hjärnan ansvarar för styrningen av vårt beteende. Exempelvis kan skador på hjärnan vara förödande för vår motorik eller förändra vår personlighet. Hur hjärnan exakt ger upphov till vårt beteende är i huvudsak okänt men hjärnans betydelse för vissa delar av vårt beteende har studerats genom att bryta ner vårt beteende i avgränsade, identifierbara beståndsdelar. Ett avgräIt has been suggested that the cerebellar mossy fibre afferents transmit the conditioned stimulus (CS) information to the cerebellum. Several studies are consistent with this suggestion but alternative explanations have not been excluded. In conditioned ferrets, the forelimb CS was replaced by a direct stimulation of the cerebellar mossy fibre afferents. It was found that true conditioned response
The synthesis of phospholipids with defined fatty acid and polar head composition catalysed by lipases and phospholipases was investigated. Lipases from Rhizopus arrhizus and Candida antarctica were used for the direct acylation of DL-a-glycerophosphate and L-a-glycerophosphatidylcholine, with different fatty acids. Esterification reactions can be carried out in systems with low wate
The purpose of this enquiry was to study how the rhetoric about immigrants (invandrarprat) influences the interpretation of reality in regards to new swedes. The study was conducted with the help of qualitative interviews with eight new swedes who, apart from their country of origin, by Swedish social standards would be considered average. Two questions were examined for the purpose of this study:
In the doctrine, Articles 7(1)(b) to (d) CTMR, which preclude the registration of non-distinctive, descriptive and generic signs, are considered to form a part of a single, indivisible concept of distinctiveness, which is one of the most fundamental concepts in trade mark law. When assessing the distinctiveness of trade marks under these provisions, the CFI and the ECJ insist that all categories o
This study has focused on how Web 2.0 tools may affect the company collaboration process. Those tools which are used internally by organizations for messaging, chatting, online meetings, weekly reports, online video lecture base, bugs/error reporting, working monthly hours reporting etc. are studied. The employees have been studying organizations from the perspective of collaboration. We have inte
Electronic dance music has been a subject of scientific scrutiny for the past four decades. Many-coloured global club culture is most often seen as lacking political and social agenda, purely pastime-related occurrence within youth subculture. However, in different cultural backgrounds electronic dance music may play different roles and occupy different places. This thesis researches the case of e
Abstract This study focuses the electoral reforms and the practical performances of the Non-party Caretaker Government in terms of its role to ensure that the ninth parliamentary elections be free, fair and credible. In Bangladesh, after Parliament had been dissolved, the constitutionally-mandated Non-party Caretaker Government was appointed to oversee the parliamentary elections, its main purpos
Under 2005 genomfördes en studie vars slutsats bl. a. var att polisen borde kunna klara upp fler misshandelsbrott där parterna är obekanta med varandra och där brottet skett utomhus. RPS gav därefter Brå i uppdrag att genomföra en ny studie som i stort sett hade samma syfte som den från 2005. Brå:s resultat av studierna har redovisats i Rapport 2007:12 och 2009:1. I den senare dras slutsatsen att During 2005 a study was carried out which concluded in that the police should be able to solve many assault and battery cases where the parties are unknown to each other and where the crime took place outdoors. RPS gave thereafter Brå the task to carry out a new study which basically had the same objective as the one that was carried out in 2005. Brå:s results of these studies has been published i
The development of the constitution of Zimbabwe reflects many aspects of the political turmoil currently troubling the country. The constitution as an institution can therefore be analyzed in a perspective of historical institutionalism where the theory of path dependency provides an understanding of the choices made by different political actors throughout Zimbabwe’s independent history. The adop
Today, drug assisted treatment of Methadone and Subutex is well established in Swedish society. However, it has since the late 1960´s been differing perceptions of both the pros and cons on drug assisted therapy. The purpose and aim of this study was to explore and describe what kind of ethical attitudes social workers and representatives of the Swedish Drug Users Union (SDUU) usually have around
Abstract Purpose: The main purpose with this thesis was to describe the complexities involved when public sector organizations initiate changes in their organizational culture. This research also aims to depict how managers in a public organization interpret the implementation of two separate “shared value systems”, that originates from different parts of the organization. Research design: This th
Enzymatic pretreatment of algae by means of cellulose degrading enzyme was evaluated through lab-scale and pilot-scale experiments. The degradation efficiency of the enzyme depended on the initial physical quality of the algae. Lab-scale batch anaerobic digestion experiments showed comparatively low methane potential for the pretreated algae at both mesophilic and thermophilic temperatures. Howeve
We present a novel method for measuring interbilayer forces in lamellar liquid crystals of amphiphile-water systems. In a centrifuge the gravitational effect is easily strong enough to produce clearly observable concentration gradients. During the experiment the concentration profile in the test-tube is monitored using NMR imaging of the deuterium quadrupole splitting in the lamellar phase, by tem
For meeting stringent emission restrictions, a modern solution is to operate in or close to the flameless mode. It implies a copious dilution of the reactants with vitiated gas resulting in low oxidant or fuel concentration and consequently low volumetric heat-release rate. On the contrary to traditional flames where heat release is occurring in very thin fronts, the flameless operation lies in th
Hydrogen normally occurs as hydroxyl ions related to defects at specific crystallographic sites in the structures, and is normally characterized by infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). For quantification purposes the FTIR technique has proven to be less precise since calibrations against independent methods are needed. Hydrogen analysis by the NMP technique can solve many of the problems, due to the low
