Denna uppsats syfte är att studera utvalda delar av den moderna forskningen kring krig och konflikter. Fokus kommer att läggar på forskning kring interventioner samt fredsförhandlingar efter ett inbördeskrig. Syftet tycker jag är att undersöka PMC:s roll i interventioner. Vi undersöker PMC:s potentiella roller ur två perspektiv. De forskare vi valt att fokusera på är Mary Kardor och hennes bok ?N

South Africa is the worst impacted country in the world in terms of HIV and AIDS. The country faces HIV prevalence rates of a good 20 percent and AIDS is today the leading cause of death in the country. As the epidemic spreads through the country it poses severe threats to the country’s economic growth and development. South Africa is thus in utmost need of free and effective health care services.

The purpose of this thesis is to describe and analyze the services on the mobile Internet and to identify when, where, and how these service offerings can be profitable. The thesis is a qualitative study based on in-depth interviews with key stakeholders in the service value chain and with relevant experts. Case methodology have been used to gather and structure the empirical material from three c

Denna uppsats analyserar utvecklingen av principen Special and Differential Treatment (SDT) i den internationella handelsregimen. Fokus är på förändringen i tillämpningen av denna princip. Uppsatsen identifierar hur principen har tillämpats sen dess uppkomst samt hur ett skifte i det ekonomiska utvecklingstänkandet kom att utgöra en avgörande faktor för den nedgång i tillämpning som observerats. V

This study investigates how the TRAP-18 instrument can be used to identify and prioritize threats from lone actor terrorists by applying the framework on a case of a Swedish man convicted of weapons offenses and crimes against the law on flammable and explosive substances. This case is a contribution to the increasing number of studies using TRAP-18, due to the fact that the individual studied is

This study aims to forecast the Swedish FCR-D Down A2 market prices through a hybrid model combining a volatility model and a machine learning approach, and compares its performance with a standalone machine learning model. We further examine the impact of different lag orders (1-Hr vs. 24-Hr) on volatility estimates and forecast performance. Evaluation metrics include root of mean squared error (

Purpose: This thesis aims to strengthen the understanding of contextual business model design within the last-mile delivery industry and create a foundation for transferable knowledge from which Swedish logistic service providers can draw knowledge connected to last-mile delivery business models from. Theoretical framework: The theoretical framework is a decision-making process model, illustratin

The purpose of this study is to investigate the consequences of Netflix’s latest policy change on consumers’ perceptions of the brand promise and on their willingness to continue using the service. Furthermore, we aim to explore the negative emotions that arose in response to the policy change.

Involving users in the design process is increasingly discussed as the quickest and most reliable way to capture the needs of users and consumers. In parallel, the fastest growing population segment in Asia and the West is older people. This article asks whether their involvement in the design process could accelerate a growing service market and if so, how? It addresses a knowledge gap that const

Antibody microarrays are becoming increasingly established in clinical studies. However, the arrays are seldom used in a quantitative approach but rather for detecting up or down regulated proteins. In this study we describe a microarray procedure being standardized by placing the in-house developed porous silicon surfaces into a commercially available 96 well microtiter plate for analyzing the PS

FN:s mellanstatliga klimatpanel IPCC lyfter i sin femte stora rapport (”Assessment Report 5”, AR5) fram att för att den långsiktiga globala uppvärmningen ska kunna begränsas till mindre än 2 grader, behöver de kumulativa växthusgasutsläppen begränsas till en viss maximal mängd. För att sannolikt uppnå en sådan klimatstabilisering uppgår det totala utsläppsutrymmet, det vill säga mängden kol som få

D-programmet pa LTH har en låg andel kvinnliga sökande, samtidigt som intresset för att lära sig programmera bland kvinnor tycks öka. Det finns exempel på att intresset är överväldigande stort när det anordnas programmeringsundervisning som endast är avsedd för kvinnor. Vilka ärintresserade och varför? Kan detta ge oss förslag på vad LTH kan gora för att öka mångfalden på D-programmet? Undersöknin

Electric buses can improve the environmental performance of public transport. Yet, introducing electric buses brings novel challenges, such as requirements for operational changes, new forms of institutional collaboration, increased investment costs and technological concerns. This paper investigates these challenges and strategies for managing them by comparing experiences of electric bus impleme

Inflammation is a physiological response that may go uncontrolled and thereby develop in a chronic way. This seems to happen in many common diseases of autoimmune, degenerative, or allergic character. Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is by definition a chronic disease with an autoimmune inflammatory attack on diarthrodial cartilaginous joints. The development of new treatment neutralizing cytokines invol

Background: Physiotherapy research concerning interventions for children with CP is often focused on collecting evidence of the superiority of particular therapeutic methods or treatment modalities. Articulating and documenting the use of theory, instrumentation and research design and the assumptions underlying physiotherapy research interventions are important. Physiotherapy interventions focusi
