Nuclear activity in Iran has during last years been a widely discussed topic worldwide, as well as an important element in international relations. United States has looked for allies in attempts to isolate Iran politically and economically. India and Russia are powers of growing importance with interests in Iran. So far, both countries have cooperated with the US in IAEA although not completely f
This bachelor thesis main ambition is to develop a theoretical foundation that can provide plausible explanations to the relation between tourism and lack of political liberalization in less-developed and middle-income countries. The thesis identifies a number of unique features of tourism as a sociological and commercial phenomena. This conceptualization of tourism paves the way for the formulat
This BA-thesis examines whether realism can be empirically tested on the Iraq war in 2003. I am inspired by Mearsheimer's offensive realism, which holds that all states are aggressive because of the structure of international politics. Realism has a lot of theories about power, which I examine extensively and then apply empirically. Realism states that there are two strategies for a states? su
Business Intelligence (BI) systems are becoming a common standard among organizations. Because of this, it is important to consider both the positive and the negative aspects regarding the phenomenon. Furthermore it is vital to analyze how companies utilize their BI systems and how it affects them. With this paper we strive to attain a deeper understanding of the practical implications of a BI sys
I USA under 1960-talet växte intresset för kopplingen mellan juridiska reformer och ekonomisk och social utveckling i tredje världen. Detta var startskottet för en rörelse som kom att kallas Law and Development. Det var en löst sammansatt rörelse som bestod av såväl praktiska utvecklingsprojekt som teoretiska akademiska satsningar. Det övergripande målet var att hjälpa tredje världen ur fattigdom There was a growing interest in the United States during the 1960s regarding the relationship between legal reforms and economic and social development in the Third World. This was the start of a movement that became known as Law and Development. It consisted of both practical projects and theoretical studies. The overall goal was to help the Third World out of poverty and underdevelopment. There
Kravhanteringsprocessen, dvs. den process eller arbetsmetod som används för kravhanteringen är en av de viktigaste delarna för utvecklingen av mjukvara. Kravhantering är allt arbete berörande krav som exempelvis allt från kravinsamling till dokumentering av krav. Den här processen har stor betydelse för om ett projekt kan anses som lyckat men den är även kantad av olika problem. Det har bedrivits
The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is of great interest to me for many reasons; particularly, I want to stress the Palestinian Christian’s position in the current situation. The Palestinian Christians belong to several denominations, of which I have chosen to focus on two minority churches: the Lutheran and the Anglican. My intention is to find if, and how, the situation affects the liturgy of these
European State Aid Law is rapidly becoming one of the most important area of law within the European Union. Since the beginning of 1970 the Commission and the Court have had to deal with more and more State Aid cases as it grew in correspondence with its growth. There has not been an extensive work done on State Aid until this Millennium with the works of Kelyn Bacon and Mark Heidenhain right up t
The transport and oxidation of glucose, the content of fructose 1,6-diphosphate, and the release of insulin were studied in microdissected pancreatic islets of ob/ob mice incubated in Krebs-Ringer bicarbonate medium. Under control conditions glucose oxidation and insulin release showed a similar dependence on glucose concentration with the steepest slope in the range 5-12mm. The omission of Ca(2+)
Rural households in Asian developing countries such as Vietnam have been participating in non-farm activities for decades, yet impacts beyond the economy of these households are little understood. Using evidence from available literature and two case studies from rural Vietnam, this paper exposes a range of socio-cultural impacts of non-farm activities. An increased social tension driven by a wide
This post presents a political and legal analysis of the emergency brake in criminal law in Articles 82(3) and 83(3) TFEU. It suggests that the emergency brake offers a powerful discretionary prerogative for Member States seeking to protect the integrity of their criminal justice systems. This strong legal shield for Member States in the form of a ‘quasi-veto’ is contrasted with a tendency to deci
Empirical and clinical research suggests that some individuals find self-generating compassion and receiving compassion from others difficult and aversive. However, it is unclear how these fears of compassion are linked to early experiences and to psychopathological symptoms. This study explores the relationship between shame traumatic memories, centrality of shame memories, early memories of warm
Businesses in the present era are dealing with a complex and unprecedented brew of social, environmental, and technological trends. This requires sophisticated, sustainability-based management. Yet organizations are often reluctant to place sustainability core to their business strategies with the mistaken belief that the costs associated with environmental investments outweigh the benefits. The G
The recent discovery that metal nanoparticles can generate hot carriers upon light excitation is seen as a breakthrough in the fields of plasmonics and photonics. However, the high expectations for a plasmonic revolution in applications have been dampened by the ultrafast energy dissipation of surface plasmon polariton modes. While research aimed at suppressing loss mechanisms is still pursued, an
Immigrants from the Middle East to Sweden have a twice as high prevalence of type 2 diabetes (T2D) and obesity as native-born Swedes. Both obesity and T2D have been linked to increased incidence of cancer, cardiovascular disease (CVD) and all-cause mortality (ACM); however, data on differences between ethnicities are scarce. In a population-based cohort we aimed to study the impact of Middle Easte
Cell culturing methods are increasingly used to reduce and replace the use of live animals in biomedical research and chemical toxicity testing. Although live animals are avoided when using cell culturing methods, they often contain animal-derived components of which one of the most commonly used is foetal bovine serum (FBS). FBS is added to cell culture media among other supplements to support ce
This article discusses what we call the Asymmetry Problem, a theoretical question of how asymmetric properties of prosodic phrasing should generally be accounted for within the framework of Match Theory. Unlike Alignment Theory, in which phrasing asymmetry can be derived by mapping constraints (e.g., Align-XP), Match Theory cannot derive any phrasing asymmetry from mapping (i.e., Match) constraint
In today’s increasingly digital society, smartphone texting is a common means for written communication. In 2018, over 90% of Swedes reported that they engaged in smartphone text messaging (i.e. texting) on a daily basis (Davidsson, Palm, & Melin Mandre, 2018). The aim of this study is to examine and compare planning processes based on the Hayes (1996) writing model in texting with traditional
