The left-wing governments that possessed the power of the executive in Latin America for almost two decades are now under duress. The event that has posed the initial threat to the “reign” of the Pink Tide is believed to be the 2015 election of Mauricio Macri in Argentina. This event triggered a chain reaction of conservative changes in government and a backlash against left-leaning dominance. Hav

The Flommen Lagoon in southern Sweden is surrounded by several natural reserves and is an important bird migration site on the edge of the continent. The protection of this area including water quality in the lagoon and flooding problems in the adjacent area has always been a concern. The objective of this study is to simulate the water level in the Flommen Lagoon and the water exchange between

The Russian Federation decided in late 2012 to ban adoptions to the United States. The adoption ban has been criticized from several directions for being motivated politically and that it did not take into account the children who were waiting for an adoption to the United States. Children who go through an adoption are often found in an unusually vulnerable position. Not only have they lost their

Allt sedan sitt genombrott på 1930-talet har den s.k. högkyrkliga rörelsen, eller bättre uttryckt Kyrklig förnyelse, på ett eller annat sätt eftersträvat ett betonande av offermotivet i mässans firande. Detta har inte minst framgått av de mässordningar som producerats inom ramen för rörelsen och av till rörelsen anknutna personer. Mässofferläran, som teorin traditionellt kallas, har diskuterats ocThe Swedish High Church movement has, ever since its breakthrough in the 1930s, in one way or another struggled to accentuate the sacrificial motif in the celebration of the Mass. This is something that especially can be noted in the missals that have been produced within the movement, and by persons connected to it. The doctrine of the Sacrifice of the Mass, as this theory is known traditionally,

Background: Apoptosis is the primary means for eliminating unwanted cells in multicellular organisms in order to preserve tissue homeostasis and function. It is characterized by distinct changes in the morphology of the dying cell that are orchestrated by a series of discrete biochemical events. Although there is evidence of primitive forms of programmed cell death also in prokaryotes, no informat

Dose conversion coefficients relating the kerma free-in-air to effective dose have been studied. In order to do so a sampling scheme encompassing all the risk organs and tissues was developed for the Alderson RANDO phantom. Preliminary results are shown for some specific organs irradiated with a point source in the laboratory.

In this thesis we have examined Västra Götalandsregionens ways to lobby and network in the European Union.

Den här uppsatsen handlar om förhållandet mellan senmedeltida och tidigmodernt fursteideal. Studien är en komparativ idéanalys mellan den svenska "Konungastyrelsen" och Machiavellis "Fursten". Genom att anlägga politisk kultur som analytiskt redskap visar jag att det finns en idéhistorisk kontinuitet, med vissa brott och förändringar, i det västeuropeiska fursteidealet.This paper examines the relationship between late medieval and early modern princely ideals. The study is a comparative analysis of ideas between the Swedish "Konungastyrelsen" and Machiavelli's "Prince". By using political culture as an analytical tool, I show that there is a historical continuity in ideas, with some changes, in the Western European principality ideal.

Beardsley with the critical hermeneutics of Paul Ricoeur. The idea for this thesis is based in an experience that strictly rule-governed formalist criticism does not seem to correspond to the fullness of its object,

Purpose: This thesis aims to evaluate whether the ECB’s Pandemic Emergency Purchase Programme (PEPP) cushioned the Covid-19 crisis’ impact on the Euro area’s corporate bond market and relieved borrowing conditions. Methodology: The methodology is based upon unbalanced panel data and difference-in-differences regressions with firm-clustered standard errors. The model controls for industry and cou

Sedan EU bildades har unionen haft en central roll för att integrera medlemsstaterna och har också som en effekt av detta haft ett ökande inflytande på medlemsstaternas nationella lagstiftning. Dessutom har denna utveckling lett till juridiska överväganden avseende hur EU:s författningar ska tolkas och verkställas och hur denna integration ska kunna säkerställas. Det finns fyra friheter i EU-fördrSince its inception, the EU has had a pivotal role in integrating the MS between each other and also has had an increasing influence on the national legislation of these states. Moreover, this process has naturally led to legal concerns on how to interpret the EU law and how to impose it to secure its integration for the future. Furthermore, in order to impede and hinder MS from protecting and ben
