Inward Foreign Direct Investments (FDI) is a factor of sustained economic development (UNCTAD, 2020). Developing nations have been eager to attract inward FDI in an attempt to stimulate their domestic economy. Since its independence in 1965, Singapore has transitioned from a developing country to one of the world’s strongest economies whilst consistently attracting inward FDI as an intrinsic part
The aim of this study is to explore the ways in which the Russo-Ukrainian war influences and is manifested in first-generation Russian migrants’ narratives of belonging, the purpose of which is to further explore the relationship between homeland conflict and the ways in which migrants construct deterritorialised narratives of belonging. The research is based on seven in-depth interviews analysed
This paper investigates the understanding of SDG interconnections in social, economic, and environmental sustainability towards the implementation process of Rwanda's green growth approach. Thereby this thesis contributes to the academic debate on sustainability practices in developing countries via the case of Rwanda and its special approach to home-grown solutions. Hence, the paper uses the
Övergången från lärarstudier till arbetet som lärare är ett diskuterat tema världen över. För att fortsätta diskussionen vidare och erhålla kunskap om hur skolor kan underlätta för lärarna i den ofta omtumlande övergången, krävs uppdaterade uppgifter om hur lärare upplever sin första tid i yrket. Studien syftar till att undersöka nyutbildade lärares första år i arbetslivet, med speciellt fokus på
This thesis empirically examines the impact of democratic transitions on innovation using a difference-in-differences method on a panel of 168 countries from 1960 to 2019. Patents, R&D expenditure, and scientific articles are employed as proxies for innovation. The results indicate that democratisations have a positive effect on patents. This association is significant for permanent democratis
The rapid increase of asylum-seekers in 2015 overwhelmed the Greek reception system and led to the creation of numerous refugee camps throughout the country. The Sphere Minimum Standards provide globally acknowledged guidance to design and manage these facilities. They designate risk assessments as an essential tool to guarantee a safe environment for Persons of Concern. Yet, exposure to natural h
The present study seeks to understand the impacts of mining on Indigenous Peoples’ rights in the Brazilian Amazon. For this purpose, after an introduction of the context of mining historically, socially, and geographically in Brazil, a framework of Indigenous Peoples’ rights is described, and each right analyzed separately. All rights are interconnected and interdependent, but it becomes evident t
One of the main contributors in the immune system are T cells. The exact molecular mechanisms behind T cell activation are not yet fully understood but it starts through the contact between the T cell and an infected cell. In order to study such interaction, supported lipid bilayers (SLBs) are used to mimic cell membranes and to reduce its complexity but still retaining the fundamental property of
Climate hazards are increasing globally both in their intensity and frequency, requiring more integrated approaches that also strengthen national leadership over disaster management. Mobilizing resources ex-ante has been demonstrated as an effective way of reducing the impacts of hazards on livelihoods and protecting development gains, while social protection (SP) has also been demonstrating capac
LARO is a treatment method with strong scientific support, among things it is included in being considered "best practice" according to the EU's EMCDDA. However, despite the scientific support, the treatment is perceived as controversial and has received much criticism. The aim of this study was to research what professionals within LARO themselves consider to be the strengths and we
In this master thesis, a broad theoretical description is done of a novel quantum state tomography protocol called KRAKEN. This protocol is meant for the determination of the density matrix of an electronic state created by absorption of XUV radiation in the vicinity of a Fano resonance. At first, a description of the KRAKEN protocol is provided. Then, the theory of Fano resonances is discussed. A
I takt med att teknologin blir en större och större del av vårt vardagsliv ökar även vikten av att säkerställa att dessa system har en hög säkerhet. Säkerheten blir en större del av vår vardag och har alltid varit viktigt för människan. Abraham Maslow placerade säkerhet på andra steget i hans hierarki av behov för en människa, precis under fysiska nödvändigheter som luft att andas, mat att äta ochAs technology advances and is more and more intertwined with our everyday lives, the security of these systems becomes very important. Abraham Maslow famously put safety needs as the second level of his hierarchy of needs, its importance second only to physical needs such as air, food and sleep. To make sure technological systems are as safe as possible there exists threat modeling frameworks and
The Covid-19 pandemic has led to a rapid change in trading patterns in large parts of the world. E-commerce has seen enormous growth, especially in the last two years, which has placed new demands on well-functioning logistics chains. This in turn has contributed to increased demands on warehouse and logistics properties and a shortage of land in attractive locations. The supply deficit on land ha
There is only one large ocean that makes up our blue marble, even though we’ve given it many different names. It’s difficult to see where one ends and another begins and change in one place has an effect elsewhere. The ocean connects us all and we are depended on its grace to provide us with life. The beach opens our way to the world and closes us off. It is a conflict zone in times of climate cha
Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu var en av de första författarna att tilldela den kvinnliga vampyren en betydande litterär roll i sitt framstående verk Carmilla (1872). Drygt 130 år senare ger Stephenie Meyer nytt liv åt den litterära vampyren i sin roman Twilight (2005) – med en helt annan tolkning av den mytomspunna figuren. Med hjälp av ett feministiskt perspektiv ämnar uppsatsen fördjupa sig i vampyrge
I svensk rätt saknas lagstiftning som reglerar kommersiella entreprenadavtal. Istället regleras sådana avtal genom särskilda standardavtal som utarbetats av branschföreträdare under flera decennier. AB 04 är ett av de mest centrala standardavtalen på den kommersiella entreprenadrättens område. Syftet med denna framställning är att utreda innebörden av garantiansvaret i AB 04 kap. 5 § 5. Enligt deThere is no legislation regulating construction contracts between commercial parties in Sweden. Instead, these types of contracts are governed by special standard-form contracts that have been developed by industry representatives over several decades. AB 04 (General conditions of contract for building and civil engineering works and building services) has gained a central position in the field of
Poverty and non-discrimination law have traditionally evolved on two parallel tracks. The former has primarily been dealt with in socioeconomic terms, while the latter mainly focused on civil and political rights. Despite having the legal avenues to do so, the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) remains reluctant to recognise poverty as a discrimination ground. Hence, this thesis explores the c
System on Chip (SoC) designs contain a variety of Intellectual Property (IP) cores, including digital signal processing blocks, media and graphics processing units, as well as processing core units that employ multiple-port memories to enhance performance and bandwidth. These memories allow parallel read/write operations from the same memory blocks from different ports. Due to the enormous number
Academic research on a global level and somewhat in Sweden has addressed the risks queer refugees face, uncovering vulnerabilities, their responses, and views on the agency. Though they left open questions about how much queer refugees can or can not respond to their vulnerabilities, how is this correlated to their agency, and what is the intersectionality of their experiences. This research aims
