The aim of this diploma project is to fully explore my designer skills and deliver a design comprehensive result as a new product and experience for children. Important part of this project is the design process. From research, idea generation to prototyping and fully testing the concept/ prototype with the users and get direct feedback and comments. The end result is a fun and active game concept
This thesis looks at the asylum policy of Turkey, on its path to EU accession. This thesis accepts the hypothesis that a rigid nation state practice is a hindrance to the development of human rights and examines this issue in the context of Turkey. The research question of this thesis asks; is there a possibility to gain decent life conditions for refugees in Turkey? Is the EU membership/accession
Timer options are relatively new exotic options with the feature that they expire as soon as the accumulated realized variance exceeds a predefined level. This construction leads to a random time to maturity instead of having a fixed exercise day. As shown by Bernard an Cui [7], Timer options can be priced by solving a partial differential equation or by time-changing the stock price process and t
Education is considered to be one of the most important tools for enabling the transition to a sustainable society, and it is commonly agreed that education for sustainable development (ESD) should be pluralistic, democratic and promote critical thinking. However, there are indications that education might be dominated by green consumerist approaches to solving environmental problems. If this is t
Ability to pay is recognized in most Member States as a constitutional parameter to design fair tax systems and foundations of such principle can be found also in EU primary law. However, our investigation, based on the analysis of the ECJ's case law concerning tax benefits related to personal and family circumstances, will demonstrate that ability to pay can't be considered a general prin
It has been almost 20 years since inclusive education was first implemented in Indonesia; however, based on the previous studies, the realities surrounding inclusive education strategies remain disappointing as disabled students continue to face discrimination and segregation in school. By taking into account how inclusive education discourse is constituted within national documents and affects th
This paper examines the relationship between oil prices and its pass-through to inflation and inflation differentials in the European Monetary Union from the first quarter of 1999 to the last quarter of 2021. By using local projections to derive impulse response functions of an oil price shock, the pass-through to the inflation level is examined focusing on the role of energy-related transmission
This research concerns lexical inferencing (LI), i.e., the ability to infer the meaning of unknown words in a running text (Haastrup, 1991). Despite its advantages, there is little research on LI as a collaborative effort. Further, virtually no studies compare paired and individual LI task performances. Based in Task-Based Language Learning (TBLL) and Vygotsky’s (1978) Sociocultural Theory (SCT),
One component in writing development is a more efficient use of syntactic tools. Later syntactic development, specifically that of the noun phrase, is an understudied area, notably so for Swedish. The demand for specified and concise information in an expository text, and the availability of more planning time in the written modality, are important factors contributing to more complex noun phrases
The globalisation and industrialisation of the agricultural sector made it possible to produce larger amounts of food in a faster and cheaper way than ever before, linking consumers to producers all around the planet. Although industrial food production has provided benefits for humanity in terms of access to food it is also at the root of many negative environmental and social impacts, such as bi
The aim of this Master's thesis is to examine the ways in which culture and cultural policy are being articulated in the process of Lund's application to become Sweden's European Cultural Capital of 2014. I have used Dorte Skot-Hansen's three cultural political rationalities: the humanistic-, the sociological- and the instrumental rationality, as well as and Jenny Johannisson'
Through a comparative analysis of works by street artists Faile and Banksy, from both the street and the gallery, I make the point that the field of modern street art is not as homogenous as the media and the established art world often portray it. By differentiating between sub- and counter-cultural agents, I point out the span of social and ideological backgrounds within the street art culture a
The rights-based approach (RBA) to development is a response to the perception that development aid has largely failed to overcome discriminatory structures and to help the poorest. The RBA aims to empower the powerless and focuses more on the processes in society than on delivering services. In reality however, these intentions are implemented very differently. This thesis analyses how rights-bas
The thesis aims to investigate whether Sweden is able to prosecute Swedish soldiers stationed abroad for genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes. Sweden is currently reforming its armed forces and will continue sending more soldiers to armed conflicts abroad. Sweden is also a state party to the ICC and therefore has an obligation to be the primary actor in prosecution of such crimes with
This report describes the differences between a risk analysis and a vulnerability analysis, when applied to a Flue Gas Desulphurisation (FGD) facility. A Preliminary risk analysis complemented by an Event Tree analysis is compared with An App-roach to Vulnerability Analysis of Complex Industrial Systems by Einarsson and Rausand (1998). The focus of this report is to demonstrate the different steps
Child sexual abuse (CSA) is a significant public health problem with serious consequences for human and socioeconomic development. In Nicaragua there is a dearth of information about CSA in relation to the health sector. The purpose of this study was to assess the Nicaraguan health sector’s most fundamental capacity to respond to CSA, by way of investigating the conceptions constituted amongst hea
This thesis is to go head to head with metaphor theory and to humbly try to wrestle from the enormous structure of facts and hypotheses that such theories form collectively, one theory that might favorably be used to study another interesting phenomenon. This phenomenon is the variety of metaphor that is encouraging of synaesthesia, called simply synaesthetic metaphor. For the first part of this t
Background: Childhood tuberculosis (TB) was under-prioritized, and only 15% of childhood TB cases are microbiologically confirmed. Hence, most childhood TB diagnoses are made on a clinical basis and prone to over- or under-treatment. Xpert is a rapid method for the diagnosis of childhood TB with high sensitivity.Objective: To assess the use of Xpert for accurate diagnosis, timely initiation, and r
The type VI nanomachine is critical for Vibrio cholerae to establish infections and to thrive in niches co-occupied by competing bacteria. The genes for the type VI structural proteins are encoded in one large and two small auxiliary gene clusters. VCA0117 (VasH) - a σ54 -transcriptional activator - is strictly required for functionality of the type VI secretion system since it controls production
