I denna studie undersöks legitimering av våld i amerikansk kontext. Syftet är att förstå och göra anspråk på att förklara legitimering av våld. Frågeställningen lyder; Hur legitimerar USA våld genom National security strategy från 2015 och i Barack Obamas state of union – tal från 2016? Vilka likheter eller skillnader finns i National security strategy från 2015 och Barack Obamas state of union –

This thesis provides an analysis of the Eurozone‟s crisis management during the European debt crisis from a Neorealist perspective. It assesses the explanatory power of Neorealism for the counter-measures taken in response to the European debt crisis. The main argument is that in times of crisis, the member states of the European Union may fall back to Neorealist behavior, despite any integrating

In times of worldwide increasing overfishing, marine reserves are a vital tool of marine conservation and fisheries management. Benefits of marine reserves can extend beyond reserve boundaries to adjacent fishing grounds through spillover of fish. Anticipating higher catch rates, fishers try to capitalize on spillover by increasingly fishing along reserve boundaries, a behavior known as fishing th

This thesis aims to answer the question of what quality of life is constituted of in a non-human context. Or differently put, ‘what is it that makes an animal's life worth living?’ In the procedure of reviewing this question other concepts and issues are addressed. One of these being the composite concept of 'animal welfare', mainly due to its popularity and frequent use in discussions

This report is the result of a master thesis project conducted at the Global R&D Dish Care Department at Electrolux, Stockholm. The master thesis has been carried out through the Division of Machine Design, Department of Design Sciences at the Faculty of Engineering (LTH), Lund University. Electrolux is a developer and producer of household appliances active on the global market. Their focus

Internet är ett stort globalt nätverk som fortsätter växa i komplexitet med nya tekniker och protokoll som utvidgar dess användbarhet och sättet vi sprider information. Trender, nyheter, videor och annan information sprider sig snabbt över världen vilket gör Internet till ett fantastiskt redskap för de användare som prenumererar på rätt informationsströmmar eller nyheter. Webläsare är en nödvändInternet is a vast digital network. Evergrowing in its complexity with frequent newly developed protocols extending the technology and changing the way we communicate and share information over the world. Trends, news, videos and other information spread quickly over the world, making web browsers an incredible tool for users who listen to the right feeds or news networks. Web browsers are a nec

This meta-analysis synthesized 60 effect sizes from 41 papers (overall N = 17.226), about the relation between self-efficacy beliefs and creativity. Taken as a whole, the relation between those two constructs, assuming a random-effects model, is with r = .39 of medium size, as was proposed. Further subgroup analyses revealed a pattern of self-rated creativity measures (r = .53) those which use ite

This thesis investigates the possibilities for setups measuring how the surface structure of nanowires (NWs) influences their electric properties. For this the abilities to clean surfaces and detect nanowires (NWs) are examined, and an attempt to build a setup is made. Compared to the size of NWs and surface area measured in scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), an “infinite” surface of GaAs/AlGaAs

The major objective of this thesis is to explore (self-)perceptions and assessments of manufacturers and employees within the realms of sustainable consumption. In order to investigate what people themselves believe to know and perceive to be sustainable, a field research was carried out among participants within the German sustainability platform Heldenmarkt by making use of participant observati

Brownification is an increasing problem in the Northern Hemisphere. In the south of Sweden, the Kristianstads commune, its Vattensriket biosphere, and the local farmers and fishermen are particularly affected by the brownification of their main river, the Helge Å. The iron concentration and the concentration of dissolved organic matter have increased by 284% and 118%, respectively, in 40 years. Fu

The relationship between fertility rate and economic growth is an important subject. This thesis sums up the current research status and use in regression and correlation data analysis, which consists of 120 developing countries in total from 1970 to 2014. On the one hand, total fertility rate has a negative effect on economic growth in the current period. When human capital is scarce, returns of

During the recent decades, concerns about the environment and climate change have progressively gained importance in political, social and economic arenas. Amid environmental conferences and international political negotiations, on the business side corporations have scrambled to find ways to secure themselves and even prosper on an environmentally aware consumer base. This thesis examines how Ik

The Australian Bogong moths are thought to have the ability to sense the earth’s magnetic field. This ability has to be reflected in the animal’s neural architecture. Hence reconstruction of three brain neurons was carried out, though these respond to visual stimulation instead of magnetic. These reconstructions were compared to that of other known specie’s visual responsive neurons to provide a b

Hybrid solutions that combine multiple renewable energy sources, such as solar power and hydro power, are gaining popularity as a means of meeting the growing energy demands while minimising environmental impacts, but also as an opportunity of connecting solar power plants to the grid in areas where this might not be possible unless large investments are made. This master thesis aims to evaluate t

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) has been called the strictest data protection law in history, and one of the key reasons for this is due to its vast territorial scope, which allows it to be applied to non-EU entities as long as the relevant conditions are met. Such a broad extraterritorial application has greatly improved the level of data protection, but it has also triggered some c

This study investigates the performance of serial acquirers, with a particular focus on how differences in acquisition strategies influence announcement returns. It integrates Morillon's (2021) bidder classification: loners, occasional, joggers, sprinters, and marathoners. We analysed the frequency of deals and whether these deals are clustered in blocks. The sample is unique as it focuses on

This paper explores the relationship between geographical diversification and derivative hedging, as well as their impact on corporate value. We employed multivariate regression analysis using a sample of 211 publicly listed U.S. companies on the S&P 500 index from 2019 to 2023 to examine this relationship. Our focus is foreign exchange hedging and the interaction between hedging and firm
