Where the 1990s was the era of multilateral trade liberalisation, the current agriculture-focused multilateral trade talks have dragged on with missed deadlines accompanied by a reluctance to act. In spite of this reluctance, there has been an emergence and proliferation of Free Trade Agreements in East Asia. These FTAs have provided briskly growing economies with the opportunity to develop discri
Readers? eye movements were recorded as they participated in a newspaper reading experiment. The stimuli consisted of newspaper prototypes that were manipulated systematically according to two experimental conditions: (a) utilization of information graphics in conjunction with article text, and (b) variations of article placement on newspaper spreads. Viewing time of target articles was measured a
Human rights have their roots in citizen's rights. The development of citizen's rights has been centring on property rights. Property rights own its root to Rome. Private property rights are crucial elements in the Roman law, but were less recognized in the Middle Ages. Then it revives in the medieval cities. This thesis explores the development of property rights in Europe with the transf
Material- and Energy efficiency is necessary for the creation of a sustainable society. Based on an assumed need for sustainable design to be more cost efficient in highly cost conscious markets, such as in China, this thesis rapport presents a working model for implementation of sustainable alternatives to traditional measures. Focus is laid on potentiating not only from an environmental perspect
Kreditsäkerheter i fartyg kan upplåtas genom ett flertal olika konstruktioner. Denna uppsats avhandlar tre utav dessa varianter; sjöpanträtt i fartyg, retentionsrätt och ägarförbehåll till helt fartyg. Sjöpanträtt i fartyg är en legal panträtt som i princip inte kan upplåtas genom avtal. Sjöpanträtt uppkommer som en giltig sakrätt endast för sådan skada som har ett direkt samband med fartygets veCredit securities in ships can be provided for by several different constructions. This thesis focuses on three of these varieties; maritime liens in ships, right to retention and title reservations in ships. Maritime liens in ships is a legally granted right that principally cannot be obtained by contractual agreements. Maritime liens evolve as a valid right in rem only for such situations speci
This report is a part of the educational programme of Fire Protection Engineering at Lund University. The purpose of the report is to evaluate the fire safety of Vadstena Castle from an egress perspective. Thus the structural stability or property damage is not taken into consideration. Vadstena Castle is a tourist attraction that can host a large amount of people during special events. The approa
Detta är en kandidatuppsats skriven vid Lunds Universitet i samarbete med E.ON Vind Sverige AB. Uppsatsen är en studie i hur det omgivande landskapet påverkar vindklimatet på en specifik plats. För att undersöka teorin om landskapets påverkan på vinden har tre olika mätmaster valts ut: en placerad i havet, en på slättland och en i skogsmiljö. Samtliga är landskapstyper representerade inom den svenThis is a bachelor thesis written at Lund University in cooperation with E.ON Vind Sverige AB. The thesis is a study that investigates how the surrounding landscape affects the wind climate at a specific site. The wind data used comes from three different met masts situated in the ocean, on plain land and in woodland respectively. The wind analysis is based on five parameters: turbulence intensity
During the last decades, Germany has been experiencing an ongoing religious and cultural diversification. But despite this process, other groups are still excluded from dominant discourses of the German society. Especially the Muslim population is often presented as being different and oppositional in comparison to the German majority. Since Islam is of rising interest in the integration debate as
Principen remedial secession innebär att ett folk har rätt till utbrytning och skapandet av en egen stat om de hindrats att utöva sin rätt till självbestämmanderätt inom centralstaten Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka rätten till självbestämmande och om det utifrån denna rätt finns grund för en rätt till remedial secession. I uppsatsen beskrivs olika fall för att belysa hur den eventuella rätThe principle remedial secession means that a people has a right to secession and the creation of their own state if they have been hindered by the central state to enjoy their right to self-determination. The purpose of the essay is to examine the right to self-determination and if this right gives any legal grounds for a right to remedial secession. In the essay there are discriptions of diffe
Technology utilisation and implementation of new technologies are critical success factors for humanitarian supply chains and the possibility to improve humanitarian operations by the use of technology has been gaining increasing attention, especially since the 2010 Haiti earthquake. Despite this increase, the theory on emerging technologies within the humanitarian supply chain is still very limit
With the ongoing climate collapse, there is a need for a capital switch, rerouting investments into low carbon infrastructure. Green bonds are a new financial vehicle aimed to facilitate this transition. Through signaling the issuers’ intent to use the proceeds of the bonds towards environmentally beneficial activities, they increase transparency and allow investors to better calculate risks while
Purpose: In an explorative manner this thesis aims to research how the content of CEO-statement affects non-professional investors’ opinion of a company’s prospects. Methodology: This study is to be considered a qualitative study based on an inductive orientation regarding the role of theory. A cross-sectional design has been followed for the gathering of empirical data. Semi-structured interview
Syftet med denna studie har varit att undersöka förekomst av buller på återvinningsstationer och olika avskärmningsmetoders effektivitet, vilket gjordes genom ljudnivåmätningar och intervjuer. Ljudnivåmätningar gjordes vid tömning av glasinsamlingsbehållare på en återvinningsstation och vid glasinsamling på fyra återvinningsstationer med olika avskärmningsmetoder. Ljudnivåmätningar gjordes även avThe purpose of this study was to investigate noise at recycling stations and the effect of shields in noise reduction, this was done through sound level measurements and interviews. The sounds level measurements took place at five recycling stations, at one recycling station while containers where emptied and at four recycling stations with different shield methods while recycling glass. Sound lev
The development of Autonomous Drive is escalating, but designing for User Experience in autonomous vehicles remains a challenge since there are no such vehicles out on the commercial market today. Designers are struggling to gain customer insights since the target customers never tried such a product. On the other hand, the main user group of Autonomous Drive in the future will most likely be peop
This paper is focused on trying to answer the questions of how local political niche parties gain representation in the municipalities of Sweden. Could a lack of representation in a specific political question lead to the political advancement of a niche party? The main theory is based on the concept of “representation gap” and “voting behavior”. This theory is being tested against two alternative
The debate on the inclusion of women in peacebuilding has hit the scholarship field and received wide attention in the last years. There is a greater understanding of the significance from including women in the peacebuilding process. Most existing research focuses on the inclusion of women in the peace process. This thesis also took the same direction but diverged in using postcolonial theories t
To control an accelerating proton beam that travels close to the speed of light, a large number of beam diagnostic instruments are needed. One of the instruments that will be used at the accelerator of the European Spallation Source is a Non-invasive Profile Monitor (NPM). Once installed, this system will measure the transverse beam profile by imaging the fluorescent gas induced by the accelerated
Amelogenin is a major constituent of enamel matrix protein that is responsible for the development of tooth enamel. Due to its self-assembly and physicochemical properties, amelogenin has been widely used as one of the natural biomaterials. Amelogenin, along with the other enamel matrix proteins have been known for its regenerative properties. The purpose of this project is to evaluate the enginee
