In February 2020, two groups met in Kartapur, near the border of India and Pakistan, for the first time. The groups, Yes Fam India and Yes Fam Pakistan, are created in connection to the YouTube channel Yes Theory, and they share an active online community. The conflict between India and Pakistan has been active for over 70 years. Previous research suggests that there is a need to explore the possi
The purpose of this thesis is to examine how a transnational European identity is articulated and constructed in the initiatives constituting the “European Education Area” (EEA). Identity is one of the most disputed and dissociated concepts of social sciences and humanities. Despite this, the concept remains pivotal in order to ensure the EU’s legitimacy. Hence, understanding how the EU works in s
This thesis aims to reveal whether the Commission’s approach in the State aid assessment of advance pricing agreements (APAs) is in line with the current EU law framework and whether, given its implications, it is a sensible development in State aid law applied to taxation. Chapter 2 introduces the background of the arm's length principle, looking into its origin, purpose and application in ta
This thesis investigates the possibility of the mediated city providing a space for resistance in everyday life in a society where free speech channels are strictly controlled. The case studied in this thesis is the phenomenon of a group of fans of a singer who has been banned by the government in mainland China writing graffiti in public urban space on Rehe Road in Nanjing to express their love a
Today's society is in constant change and development where globalisation and technology have affected the labour market. As a result, the labour market is different and the employees set higher demands with new requirements for the employer to satisfy. It has thus become increasingly important for organisations to develop strategies to attract, develop and retain employees. The purpose of th
River Storån, a major tributary of Lake Bolmen which is a source of fresh water to Skåne county of Sweden is found to alter the color of water in the lake due to the presence of natural organic matter. Hence it is of utmost importance to study the river to understand the dynamics of generation and flow of water from the river to the lake. This is done by application of a hydrological modelling sys
Effective conservation strategies require an understanding of how species respond to environmental change. This study was undertaken to evaluate the behavioural response of spider monkeys (Ateles geoffroyi yucatanensis) to changing habitat conditions, in terms of activity budget, habitat use, and range. Using data collected in the Calakmul Biosphere Reserve between 2014-2019 on activity budgets, t
Purpose: To evaluate whether ETFs have outperformed index mutual funds on the European market during the period 2009-2019. Methodology: The method is based on quantitative data acquired from Thomson Reuters Eikon as well as Bloomberg terminal. Historical returns are processed and analyzed using selected performance measures. Theoretical perspectives: Theories are applied to compare the returns o
The drought is a complex meteorological phenomenon associated with low precipitation and low water saturation in atmosphere, soils and plants and can has a great effect on aboveground biomass and change the structure and function of the ecosystems. The droughts also are known to reduce the primary and secondary productivity of vegetation. The Climate has high influence on vegetation productivity.
This thesis is an exploration of the complexity of gendered spaces and places. Grounding in feminist geographical theory and an understanding of space and place as gendered, the experiences and emotions of six young women from Rosengård, Malmö, connected to space and place are problematized and contextualised. The thesis is also a call for a qualitative, critical and feminist usage of GIS and an e
This master thesis investigates how personal narrative and emotion might be understood as a feminist strategy in the work True Stories, an autobiographical project by contemporary French artist Sophie Calle. This is done through the application of Judith Butler's theory on heteronormativity, performativity and subversive acts, as well as Sara Ahmed's thought on emotion. The result shows ho
The aim of this thesis was to explore the effect of domestic violence against women Health’s and Agricultural Activities in Otukpo Benue State, Nigeria. The sampling techniques adopted for this study is both cluster and purposive sampling in selecting respondents to participate in the study. The study area is divided into four cluster representing the four major districts of the study area. These
The ability to express phenotypically plastic responses to environmental cues might be adaptive in changing environments. We studied phenotypic plasticity in mating behaviour as a response to population density and adult sex ratio in a freshwater isopod (Asellus aquaticus). A. aquaticus has recently diverged into two distinct ecotypes, inhabiting different lake habitats (reed Phragmites australis
A concern that arises with any change in design or operative technique is whether it affects the long-term implant stability or not. One way to address this is, by measuring early micromotion, to predict the future revision rate. This study was set to evaluate the early migration and the functional outcome of the Triathlon™ total knee arthroplasty system in different subsets of design. In addition
BACKGROUND: Diabetes is a major threat to public health in the United States and worldwide. Understanding the role of environmental chemicals in the development or progression of diabetes is an emerging issue in environmental health. OBJECTIVE: We assessed the epidemiologic literature for evidence of associations between persistent organic pollutants (POPs) and type 2 diabetes. METHODS: Using a Pu
