Greece in a period of financial crisis (2008-2013) is questioning the success of its policy implementation. The training centers for the intellectually disabled, as implementers of policies and programs on a national and European level, also question that success. Using Foucault’s concept of power relations within society, it is aimed to find whether policies and programmes for the intellectually
This paper examines the phenomenon of gender-based violence and sexual harassment against women and girls in the world of entertainment from the perspective of international human rights law, and attempts to prove that ILO C190 benefits women in the industry, from the aspect of providing a more inclusive, extended and efficient legal framework. The research is focused on the Republic of Korea, it
This thesis scrutinises the concept of the European Super League in light of EU competition law and aims to provide an answer to the question whether the rules on prior authorisation by FIFA and UEFA infringe Article 101 and/or Article 102 TFEU, and whether the European Super League itself infringes Article 101 TFEU. The outcome of this thesis is that both questions must be answered in the affirma
This paper explores the relationship between Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and the video game industry, taking video game studios as the main subjects. The aim was to understand the perceived importance of implementing CSR initiatives within businesses and to ascertain the current state of the industry in regard to the subject. A review of the literature was conducted in order to comprehen
Den 23 september 2020 lanserade EU-kommissionen den nya asyl- och migrationspakten, där fem nya lagförslag presenteras, som bland annat syftar till att förhindra att asylsökande utan tydliga asylskäl får resa in i Europeiska unionen (EU). För att uppnå det här målet föreslår EU- kommissionen att inrätta en fas före inresa, som kommer att bestå av en fem-dagar lång screening av alla tredjelandsmedbOn the 23 September 2020 the European Commission launched the Pact on Migration and Asylum, introducing five legislative proposals, which inter alia aim at ensuring that only people with clear protection needs enter the European Union (EU). To reach this objective, the European Commission introduced a so-called pre-entry phase, consisting of firstly, the proposed screening procedure, a five-day pr
Social economy organisations are attributed a major role in solving societal and environmental problems and in implementing social innovations in Europe. These organisations are private entities running economic activities whose main purpose is to provide goods and services to their members or the community at large, with profits coming second. Nevertheless, these organisations are not suffici
Within the first decade of this millennium several Western European countries have prohibited Muslim veils in public spaces. Excluding the culture of Muslims or more specifically Islamic beliefs in a multicultural society, in which the hardest hit are Muslim veiled women, has resulted in the discourse of the ‘rise and fall of multiculturalism’. Although Sweden has not prohibited hijab or any other
Human-wildlife conflicts threaten the existence of many species worldwide. Large carnivores are often involved in such conflicts due to their diets and expansive home ranges. In Finland, wolf (Canis lupus) is one of such conflict-prone species. The wolf conflict is a multifaceted issue stemming for instance from fears, damages to domestic animals, competition for game and opposition of EU wildlife
Context: The insulin tolerance test ( ITT) is the current standard diagnostic test for the diagnosis of adult GH deficiency ( GHD), but alternative tests, such as the GHRH- arginine test, have been proposed. Objective: We investigated the sensitivity and specificity of the GHRH- arginine test using ITT as the gold standard in diagnosing GHD in a group of young adults treated with cranial irradiati
Aims To investigate the role of guidelines in structuring the clinical care for adult patients with congenital heart disease (CHD), and to assess adherence to the guidelines in Europe. Methods and results A selected number of current guidelines were chosen pertaining to operative procedures, investigations, and the use of medication ('interventions'). The source for this analysis was the database
We suggest a physical picture of the catalytic act combining together the energy transfer and the synchronisation of the best electron density in the reactant and active site as a consecutive sequence of events. Activity and selectivity at molecular level are defined. Geometry requirements seem to be linked to energy and time requirements. Our proposal for developing new catalysts at the molecular
Trilobites from the Middle and Upper Ordovician Andersön Shale Formation in Jämtland, central Sweden, and the Middle Ordovician Killeröd Formation in Skåne (Scania), southern Sweden, are revised and discussed. These formations have several genera and a few species in common, e.g. Botrioides efflorescens (Hadding, 1913a) and Pseudomegalaspis patagiata (Törnquist, 1884). The regional and vertical di
Concerns about the decline in knowledge concerning food growing stemming stem from the Green Revolution, as well as the rapid urbanization since the beginning of the 20th Century. There is a gap in the literature about community gardening in industrialized English-speaking countries, and since sharing of knowledge is a well-documented achievement of community gardens, the aim of this thesis is to
Thailand’s food retail sector was rapidly transformed during the past decade. This change was resulted in a substantial reduction in the number of traditional retailers as well as the sales of the existing ones while the number of modern retailers and their sales accelerated progressively. However, this can be seen as the must-happened transformation process, as it was also seen in other developed
The cost-sharing exemption provided by Art. 132(1)(f) EVD is a provision with a specific objective. The legal function of the provision is to enable economic operators which carry on exempt activities to emancipate certain internal sources which are directly necessary to carry on the exempt activity to be outsourced, and thus supplied exempt. Under the framework of a cost-sharing arrangement, the
Syftet med uppsatsen är att studera visionens koppling till, och betydelse för, företagens strategiarbete samt undersöka om det finns andra mekanismer som stödjer strategiarbetet istället för visionen. Vi har gjort en kvalitativ fallstudie, omfattande tre företag, där semistrukturerade intervjuer utgjort grunden för insamlandet av primärdata. Sekundärdata har samlats in från litteratur och artikla
Stay-at-home recommendations to reduce the spread of the COVID-19 virus have had a major impact on people's everyday lives. However, while the evidence indicates that such recommendations have caused distress, anxiety, and fear among the public, little is known about how persons living with complex health conditions, e.g., disability after stroke, have experienced and handled the situation. We int
The stability and activity of a model protein, lysozyme, in 1 : 2 choline chloride : glycerol was characterised across a wide range of protein concentrations, i.e., between 4 and 143 mg ml−1, where the protein is soluble and physically stable. Lysozyme folds into a globular conformation in this deep eutectic solvent like that in the native state, but with subtle variations in its internal structur
