Focusing on what motivates local authorities to apply for project funding from the European Union (EU) through its funds and funding programmes, this research paper explores the motivation with the framework of path dependency and the context of Europeanisation. Using a sample of Swedish local authorities, interviews with municipal staff members were carried out. By analysing the rhetoric and argu
The formation of α-synuclein amyloid fibrils and accumulation in inclusion bodies termed Lewy bodies are considered the hallmark of Parkinson’s disease. It has been found that the formation of fibrils is highly pH dependent, which is thought to be linked to the highly negatively charged C-terminal tail of α-synuclein. The aim of this project was to study if the pKa values of the C-terminal tail in
There are currently numerous web services that provide the user with the opportunity to download geodata. These services are often different regarding what type of data they provide and the way they distribute the data. Another aspect that differs between these services is if the download of geodata is free of charge (open) or subject to a fee. There is currently a trend in the society striving to
This paper makes a comparative analysis on to the legality of unilateral refusal to deal IPR as a dominant undertaking in EU and US. In particular the paper examines the circumstances in which the judicial bodies in EU and United States will be willing to order a mandatory license of IPR under the relevant anticompetition/antitrust policies, such as article 102 TFEU under EU and the Sherman Act se

Soft regionalism och regionala identiteter i Storbritannien har sällan blivit utforskade utöver nationella debatter avseende Skottland, England, Wales och Cornwall. Dessutom har även många senare regionala studier i England försummats helt. Denna studie har sin bakgrund i den pågående debatten om decentrialisering (devolution) och skapandet av nya regionala myndigheter och urbaner-regioner i StorbSoft regionalism and regional identities in Great Britain has seldom been explored beyond the national debates of Scotland, Wales, and Cornwall. Many recent local studies in England have, too, been neglected. This study is set against the backdrop of the ongoing debates around devolution within the United Kingdom and the creation of new regional authorities and city-regions. This thesis investigat
Scientific views on what children are capable of have been revised through history again and again, usually when new methods of studying children’s capabilities are presented. What has often been concluded is that children are capable of more than what was previously thought. New technology has introduced a genre of educational games which utilize the captivating power of computer games which have
The present paper examines contributions of corporate responsibility to respect human rights —outlined in the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights— to eradication of the problem of workplace discrimination in Myanmar, a developing country in Southeast Asia undergoing a transition from an authoritative military rule to a civil democratic government. Based on the analysis o
Previous studies on the representation of gender roles video games, and how they are able to affect the consumers' understanding of their own gender identity, often focus on the portrayal of female characters and their effect on male and female consumers. This present study deviates from this common trend and chooses to investigate how expressions of masculine identity are designed towards the
Global warming is predicted to have a major impact on the ecosystems over the polar latitudes including the Arctic region which is thought to be especially sensitive to changes in climate. So far, the research studying greenhouse gases in the Arctic has primarily been focused on the short and intense growing season when carbon flux is mostly driven by plants and soil microorganisms. Regarding wint
Two approaches for extracting properties of neutral resonances out of invariant mass distributions are presented: like-sign and event-mixing signal. Additionally a correction function based on event-mixing, aimed at revising detection differences of opposite charged particles, which is applied to the like-sign signal is tested. The analysis is conducted using pp collisions at 7 TeV and concludes a
The present thesis is a qualitative exploration of a group of patients’ experiences of going through an ayahuasca treatment as well as the human-entity relations they come to be constitutive of during the treatment. The ingestion of ayahuasca allows the drinker to enter a non-ordinary reality which opens up the possibility of having encounters with demons, spirits, angels, saints, animals and God,
By recirculating exhaust gases to the gas turbine inlet a temperature rise and hence, a density reduction, is achieved at the compressor inlet. For a constant volume flow this results in a reduced mass flow, ultimately affecting the temperature of the flame, and the emissions, at part load. This study is conducted by creating a model of the Siemens twin shaft gas turbine SGT-750 in the software IP
While the current European integration regime focuses on ‘cultural diversity’ as either a challenge or an asset and takes a assimilative or multiculturalist direction, this paper looks beyond ‘diversity’ and challenges the prevalent perspective. By studying the integration of Syrian refugees in Egypt it aims at finding a new understanding to the integration process, other than one of cultural conf
Past research on proactive interference has yielded many ways to cause a release of proactive interference. At the same time, the event segmentation paradigm attempts to explain why memory is sometimes enhanced and sometimes diminished and how we understand the world through perception. In a memory experiment carried out in Minecraft, a release of proactive interference is attempted not through a
This essay investigates what housing size is the optimal for the average student in Lund. The optimal housing size for the average student is defined as the size that maximizes the average student’s net benefit from size in monetary terms. It is found by equating the marginal willingness to pay for size and the marginal cost for size. The marginal willingness to pay is derived from estimates of ch
Following five decades of isolation and ruthless military rule, Myanmar authorities started implementing various nominally democratic reforms. In response to these developments Western governments scaled back sanctions that had made the country anathema to foreign business. Writing within premises of late modernity, and the retreat of the state as primary political-geographical reference, this the
This Master’s thesis is a sociolinguistic case study about intra-sentential code-switching, also known as code-mixing, between colloquial Moroccan Arabic and French. The data is collected by arranged interviews with focus groups consisting of university students in Rabat, Morocco, in order to investigate the trends and the extent of the occurrence of French in speech situations where intra- senten
