This study investigates the explanatory power of Liberal Intergovernmentalism and Neofunctionalism on reinforcing Europol’s mandate. More specifically, this thesis studies two EU regulations 2022/991 and 1190/2022 with a focus on Sweden’s position and applies Theory-testing Process-tracing as a method to investigate the case. The findings show that the hypotheses derived from Liberal Intergovernme
This paper aims to investigate how propaganda is used in Russian media. On February 24, 2022, an armed conflict started in Ukraine at the initiative of Russia, which led to a number of devastating consequences for Ukraine. The discourses surrounding this conflict have affected the whole world and this topic was therefore chosen as it is very relevant today. The purpose of the study is to gain a pe
Background: Logistics within the food industry have been under increased pressure in recent years due to factors such as the invasion of Ukraine and Covid-19. This has put additional focus on efficiency throughout the supply chain, including warehousing activities. Warehousing has historically often been seen as a burden as it provides limited value-adding activities which means organizations cons
Secondary metabolites produced from organisms are compounds that are not directly connected to the growth of organisms but that serve many important purposes for them in nature. Terpenes and terpenoids form a section of the secondary metabolites, produced from terpene synthase (TPS) enzymes. Fungal species are highly dependent on secondary metabolites and especially the terpenoid compounds for num
This thesis examines the experiences of LGBTQIA+ persons in Latin America, when they are targeted with hate violence. The study is based on 21 in-depth, qualitative interviews from persons affiliated with IRCA CASABIERTA, a non-governmental organization in San José, Costa Rica, working with LGBTQIA+ migrants, typically from other Latin American countries. The study works through a post structural
This study’s ambition is to investigate the effects of Foreign Direct Investment for Turkey at the individual sector level. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first endeavor to investigate the sector-specific effect of FDI on GDP for Turkey. The main research is carried out by support of basic neo-classical growth theory and new endogenous growth paradigms. The study mainly employs empirica
This report concems the use of interactive distance leaming to spread the knowled ge among employees. Research ofknowledge management, communication using the Internet and pedagogic has been done to get a good understanding of interactive distance leaming. After this awareness an investigation of the Swedish market was done to identify representative systems for interactive distance learning today
This report is a study on the effects pyrotechnically generated aerosols, PGA, has on electrical components and our health. Experiments were conducted in small and full scale at Lunds tekniska högskola and the Swedish rescue service’s school at Revinge. The experiments were conducted using only one type of PGA with exception for the full scale experiments in wich two types were used. The experimen
The objective of this paper is to provide a general account of value relations. But it takes its departure is a special type of value relation, parity. The notion of parity is due to Ruth Chang. According to her, two items may be evaluatively comparable even when neither is better than, worse than, or equally good as the other. There is a fourth kind of comparability: being on a par. Recently, Jos
We present the results of a noble gas (He, Ne, Ar) and cosmogenic radionuclide (10Be, 26Al, 36Cl) analysis of two chondritic fragments (#A100, L4 and #25, H5) found in the Almahata Sitta strewn field in Sudan. We confirm their earlier attribution to the same fall as the ureilites dominating the strewn field, based on the following findings: (1) both chondrite samples indicate a preatmospheric radi
Three studies of the psychological and physiological effects on people of colored room interiors are described. Experiment 1 compared a colorful and a gray room, whereas in experiments 2 and 3 red and blue rooms were compared. The results indicate that the color of an interior space will have effects on many different levels. The perception of the room itself was affected, and the colors also had
Bug report assignment is an important part of software maintenance. In particular, incorrect assignments of bug reports to development teams can be very expensive in large software development projects. Several studies propose automating bug assignment techniques using machine learning in open source software contexts, but no study exists for large-scale proprietary projects in industry. The goal
One of the ways in which globalization is manifesting itself in higher education and research is through the increasing importance and emphasis on scientific mobility. This article seeks to provide an overview and analysis of current trends and policy tools for promoting mobility. The article argues that the mobility of scientific labour is an indispensable prerequisite for building capacity and w
Popular Abstract in Swedish Syftet med avhandlingen var att utarbeta en vård- och omvårdnadsmodell som förbättrar livskvalitet och hälsa hos svenska kvinnor med Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). Avhandlingen består av 4 delstudier: Delstudie 1. Kvinnor med IBS upplevelse av en god livskvalitet. Delstudie 2. Utbildning av kvinnor med IBS. Delstudie 3. Hälsoaspekter i relation till användandet av Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a common, worldwide, functional disorder affecting a significant number of people, predominantly women. Etiology and pathophysiology is insufficiently understood, but the research over the past decade has led to progress in the understanding of IBS, and it is generally accepted that the symptoms of IBS are multidetermined. However, management of IBS is still a cha
To contribute to the body of empirical research on fault distributions during development of complex software systems, a replication of a study of Fenton and Ohlsson is conducted. The hypotheses from the original study are investigated using data taken from an environment that differs in terms of system size, project duration, and programming language. We have investigated four sets of hypotheses
In this report we will discuss the possibilities of defining a "good solution" of a system of linear equations. Ax=b where A is not necessarily quadratic. Especially the least squares problem will be treated. The concepts of pseudo inverses are introduced and its application to the least squares problem is shown. Geometrical interpretation of the solution in different cases is given. Different al
