This thesis focuses on Dalits' lives and experiences in the South Asian diaspora in the United States of America. I explore stories of the Dalit struggle for equality that today transcends national borders as globalisation continues to pave paths for migration. Specifically looking within the vast South Asian diaspora in the US for stories of Dalit-led activism, this thesis begins by bringing
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
This thesis aims to explore the transnational administrative structure in the Greek hotspots, exemplified in the hotspot Vial on the island Chios. The five Greek hotspots, all located on islands in the East-Aegean, serve as the implementation point of EU Commission`s hotspot approach as well as the EU-Turkey statement. It will be shown, that the Greek hotspots are administrated in a mode of joint
Diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (dMRI) is a non-invasive method that provides micrometer or millimeter-scale tissue structural information. In order to further advance this technique to obtain more detailed microstructural information of biological tissues, developing new diffusion MRI method becomes a necessity. For the past few years, the multidimensional diffusion MRI technique has been d
Frånvaron av en central mekanism för att försäkra reglers efterlevnad inom folkrätten har ofta väckt frågan om varför reglerna faktiskt efterlevs. Flera möjliga motiv och hela teorier har föreslagits som förklaringar. Den här uppsatsen är ett försök att demonstrera hur folkrätten kan upprätthållas även om det skulle vara så att det folkrättsliga systemets består av rationella egennyttiga aktörer. The absence of a central enforcement mechanism in international law has often raised the question of why international law is complied with. Several possible motives and whole theories have been put forth to explain it. This thesis is an attempt at demonstrating how international law can be upheld even if the actors within the legal system are self-interested rational actors. The model is construc
This paper examines the low beta anomaly and its possible presence on the Swedish stock market. It also investigates if it is possible to apply a low-beta investment strategy in order to exploit the anomaly. The findings of the paper indicate that the low-beta anomaly is present on the Swedish market and that it persists when controlling for the Fama-French factors. The result indicates that it mi
This study uses primary survey data to analyze the impact of international remittances on household expenditure across four different districts in the capital city of Ethiopia, Addis Ababa. The impact was explored by testing whether the share of different expenditure categories varies across recipient and non-recipient households. OLS methods were used to assess the impact of international remitta
The growth of tissues and organs in plants is governed by the morphogen auxin coupled with the membrane protein PIN, which together generate patterns that guide development. Systems of this kind have been studied extensively in experiments and computational system biology models. This thesis builds on that work by introducing a stochastic version of these models to examine differences between stoc
Soils provide the foundation for human well-being but are increasingly degrading from land use change or types of intensive land use like agriculture. In Europe, soil natural capital is degrading over time and space because of compaction, erosion, and the loss of organic matter. This trend diminishes the soil’s ability to sustain a flow of ecosystem services, which are valuable to human well-being
Microfluidic applications nowadays have become of great interest due to their broad compatibility especially in biological applications, and one of them being droplet-based cell encapsulation. Cell encapsulation in droplets is carried out by discretising an aqueous phase (i.e. cell suspension) and including them into a continuous oil phase. This methodology is a potential gateway to high throughpu
The language learning process by third age learners has recently become a field of interest for linguistic research. However, it has been studied mostly regarding psychological and cognitive considerations (stress, motivation, attention, memory, etc.), rather than according to language internal factors. The present study aims to provide a contribution by investigating the mastery of Italian gramma
This thesis studies the application of Linear Predictive coding (LPC) in the downlink of Long Term Evolution (LTE) fronthaul, which comprises of BBU and RRH. This can act as an additional module in the existing system. Today, the transmission of a single complex sample from the BBU to the RRH consumes 30 bits. The research of the thesis is to analyze the application of linear prediction theory in
With the development of low energy buildings in Northern European countries, conflicts regarding balancing daylight and energy performances in buildings arise. Therefore, design solutions that balance daylight and energy performances in buildings are needed. MKB Greenhouse is a newly-built, Miljöbyggnad Gold and Feby-Passive House certified, multi-family housing in Malmö, Sweden. Greenhouse also e
Uppsatsens huvudsakliga fokus är den pågående förändringen av regelverk gällande whistleblowing i Sverige. Syftet är att klargöra gällande rätt i Sverige för anställda i den privata sektorn genom ett överstatligt och nationellt perspektiv. En jämförelse och analys av de förändringar som kommer att ske med den nya lagen som förväntas träda i kraft januari 2017, vilken syftar till att skydda arbetstThis bachelor thesis focuses on the current legal framework transition in Sweden concerning whistleblowing. The aim is to clarify the legal framework today in Sweden for employees in the private sector through a supranational and national perspective. A comparison and analysis of possible changes that will occur with the new law, that is soon to be entered into force in Sweden, aiming to protect t
Today, the possible amount of data to collect has grown with better computers and the internet. Therefore, the interest in how to visualize complex data has increased. In this thesis, a practical example of how to design an information visualization (IV) application has been conducted. Advencia is a company located in Malmö that focuses on cyber-security. Advenica’s product, ZoneGuard, works as a
