The purpose of this thesis is to investigate the European Commission’s role in the ordinary legislative procedure. To do so, the thesis examines the case of the newly negotiated reform of the CAP. The Commission has for many years had legislative powers when reforming the CAP. However, since the signing of the Lisbon Treaty, the Commission has only had the formal power to initiate legislative prop
Since its first publishing in 1954, The Lord of the Rings has been read by millions, and it has become the subject of many scholarly studies. However, one of its most famous characters, Gollum, has only been marginally examined. The aim of this essay is to counteract precisely that and examine how Gollum exists within, and in his own way embodies, the theological and moral system of The Lord of th
Financial Repression is increasingly recognized as a viable approach to address high and unsustainable debt levels. Despite its history dating back to the early-mid 1900s, the economic implications of Financial Repression have yet to be fully explored. This paper investigates the effects of Financial Repression, specifically the relationship between two key economic indicators: the exchange rate a
Denna uppsats syftar till att undersöka FN:s implementering av sanktionsregimer och dess överensstämmelse med proportionalitetsprincipen. Uppsatsen har två syften; för det första att identifiera hur proportionalitetsprincipen har förverkligats i FN-stadgan samt i säkerhetsrådets riktlinjer, och för det andra att klargöra om säkerhetsrådet verkar förhålla sig till sina egna riktlinjer angående propThis essay explores the UN's implementation of sanction regimes and its adherence to the proportionality principle. The research focuses on two main objectives: identifying the principle of proportionality manifestation in the UN Charter and Security Council policies, as well as assessing if the Security Council adhere to its own policies regarding the proportionality principle. A doctrinal le
Previous research in the field of Environmental Federalism has not reached an agreement on whether fiscal decentralization leads to an increase in environmental pollution, i.e. a race to the bottom, or decrease in it, i.e. a a race to the top. Farzanegan and Mennel (2012) point out that this discrepancy may be due to institutions. Employing the OLS estimator, they find that fiscal decentralization
Homeric epics have been a continued object of interest across the ages, and it is no different today. Retellings of Greek myths with a focus on the female characters are especially popular with the modern reader. Authors Natalie Haynes and Madeline Miller are two of many who, through their contemporary novels A Thousand Ships (2019) and Circe (2018), have put the focal point on female characters.
Export promotion policies are widely used in most countries. The aim is to increase exports to foreign markets and in this, Sweden is no exception. In this study, my objective is to investigate whether Swedish export-promoting activities abroad, realized through the Swedish Trade Council (STC) and the Foreign Service (i.e. embassies and consulates), are associated with higher aggregate Swedish mer
This paper examines tongue movements between the two vowels in sequences of vowel-labial consonant-vowel, addressing the question whether the movement is a straight line or a curved path. Native speakers of Japanese and Italian served as subjects. The linguistic material consisted of words where the bilabial consonant was either long or short. The inclusion of words with different consonant length
The pig is becoming an increasingly used non-primate model in experimental studies of human retinal diseases and disorders. The anatomy, size, and vasculature of the porcine eye and retina closely resemble the human counterparts, which allows for application of standard instrumentation and diagnostics used in the clinic. Despite the many reports demonstrating immunohistochemistry as a useful metho
I TV-programmet »Uppdrag granskning« påstods nyligen (16 mars 2004) att det är livsviktigt för patienter med akut hjärtinfarkt att bo i närheten av rätt sjukhus. Frågan är när geografiska skillnader i dödlighet blir så pass stora och säkra att de har betydelse för den enskilda patienten. När man studerar skillnader i dödlighet mellan olika sjukhus bör man om möjligt också beakta landstingens roll.It is a known fact that the 1990s brought a decrease in mortality after myocardial infarction in Sweden but that differences in mortality rates following myocardial infarction still remain between the Swedish counties. Unresolved, however, are questions as to what these inter-county differences mean for the individual patient and what role hospital care plays in this context. We analysed all patie
BACKGROUND: Chemotherapy-induced emesis is one of the most disturbing side effects in cancer therapy. Thus, antiemetic treatment is a mandatory adjunct in emetogenic chemotherapy.METHODS: Tropisetron (Navoban, Sandoz Pharma Ltd., Basel, Switzerland), a new 5-HT3 receptor antagonist, was compared in a randomized multicenter trial with a high-dose metoclopramide-dexamethasone cocktail for the preven
We report on an international collaboration, the FERRUM Project, whichaims at extending the database of experimental oscillator strengths foriron group elements and possibly evaluating theoretical andastrophysical data. The selection of individual projects is made withrespect to their relevance for abundance work and plasma diagnostics inastrophysics. In this paper we present recent measurements o
Language has to be conceived wholistically. Fragmented views, provoked by attempts at describing language, turn out essentially distortive on the general phenomenon which language is, with species like genetic language, programming language, formal language, observation language, inner cerebral language, external communication language. At the center of this wholism is a linguistic complementarity
