The collective identity is under permanent negotiation. Due to the lack of incentive to offer public communication, the collective identity of Japanese bureaucrats; kanryo(官僚) has been constructed separately inside and outside of ministries. Firstly, I explore how the collective identity of kanryo has been constructed in two Japanese national newspapers. Also, the constructed identity of kanryo wi
This research aims to identify the extent to wgich concepts of childhood originated in the West influence the perceptions and representations of Burmese migrant children living in Thailand by non-governmental and community-based organizations working with these children. Theoretical foundation is built upon conceptions of childhood, agency and empowerment as well as on academic theories related to

The purpose of this study is to examine the attitudes of Japanese youths who consumes K-Pop on the subject of their feelings towards South Korea and Korean society in the theoretical framework of soft power. With the findings of the one and a half month fieldwork in Tokyo, this
Bangladesh is located in a danger area of the World. The geographical location makes the country vulnerable for tropical cyclones and other hazards. An increasing number of natural disasters such as floods, storms, and tropical cyclones, always keep the coastal people in a worst condition. Bangladesh government is not always fully successful in recovering the situation and gives a sustainable live
In 2012, the Greater Mekong Sub-region (GMS), an initiative launched by the Asian Development Bank (ADB) to promote regional integration and development between six mainland Southeast Asian countries, will reach its twentieth anniversary. Throughout the past twenty years, the GMS has been considered as highly successful, in comparison with other regional initiatives, in improving connectivity, com
Abortion has long existed in our society and in our history. It has long been prohibited and it has been legal I Sweden since 1934 under the circumstances that the mother’s life was threatened. It took until 1975 to become legal under all circumstances until pregnancy week eighteen. Even if abortion today has been long legal there still exists a stigma around it. My purpose with this study is to
Popular summary The environmental and social consequences of predicted climate change are expected to be amplified in urban environments due to their elevated temperatures, which are attributable to a phenomenon known as the Urban Heat Island. As most types of vegetation can provide for cooler air temperatures due to their natural cooling effect, increasing amounts of vegetation in urban areas mig
Scientific summary Satellite imagery has been used to produce highly accurate land cover maps, even effectively discriminating between vegetation types. While land cover classification based on differences in pixel values in one or more spectral bands is an effective way of mapping large areas, the coarse resolution of freely available satellite images is not suitable for mapping urban environment
Popular summary Energy generation from renewable sources is one of the main issues to be solved for the 21st century. One of the most advanced technologies currently available is wind energy, which has a large potential onshore and offshore. However, in many cases wind energy is restricted to large wind parks with wind power plants sometimes exceeding heights of 100 m. The construction of large wi
As China rises and the former glory of the U.S. hegemony slowly fades, the rest of the world is watching closely. Opinions and analyses on whether it will have a peaceful outcome or not are many and various. This study investigated contemporary Chinese foreign policy in an attempt to argue that economic objectives are too important for the Chinese Central Leadership to consider military aggression
Background Today many organizations convert from being a traditional functional organization to becoming more temporary project-based organizations in order to respond to the changing environment. As a result, project-based organizations have difficulties to learn from within the project and between projects which force project members to “reinvent the wheel” over and over again. If organizations
Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning Vad har berget i Romeleåsen varit med om? Jordskorpan är uppbyggd av ett antal plattor. Vid plattgränser under oceanerna bildas ny skorpa av magma som tränger upp. Oceanplattan kan inte öka i storlek. Där oceanplattan möter en platta med kontinental jordskorpa tränger oceanplattan under kontinentalplattan (subduktion, t. ex. Anderna). Vid kollisionen dras sedimeRomeleåsen is the south-westernmost exposure of the Fennoscandian Shield in Sweden. Fennoscandia forms a part of the East European Craton and was extended to the south-west during prolonged episodes of accretion during the period 1.95-1.55 Ga. Metamorphic reworking took at least place during the Hallandian/Danopolonian orogeny at 1.47-1.38 Ga and during the Sveconorwegian orogeny 1.10-0.92 Ga. Hig
The result of our project is an induction cooktop that utilizes temperature sensors along with an interface that provides new functionality when using different products on the stove. We also designed a kettle, a coffee maker and a waffle iron to visualize the concept. The motivation for our project came from the fact that many kitchens today are full of electric kitchen appliances, each with its
Mitt examensarbete resulterade i en teoretisk del med observationer över vilka behov och önskemål som kan finnas hemma hos en äldre målgrupp samt två fysiska produktexempel som sammanfattar mina tankar om livslång användning. RÄCKVIDD Klädhängare. En funktion för olika situationer. Då kläder är något som berör de flesta fungerar produkten för alla åldrar. Från när du är liten och inte når, i din
This thesis consists of a pilot study on air emission management from six of Tetra Pak’s converting factories with the aim of mapping current air emissions of VOC, air purification equipment, and legal requirements. A description of the impacts of certain VOCs on the environment is also included. Tetra Pak’s 36 converting factories scattered all over the world produces 167 billion beverage and foo
Syfte: Syftet med denna uppsats är att studera utformning av kompensationsplaner i företag.Uppsatsens syfte är därmed att studera vilka aspekter som, enligt olika teoretiska modeller, är viktiga att ta hänsyn till vid utformandet av kompensationsplaner. Vidare vill vi studera hur väl dessa teoretiska modeller stämmer överens med vad företag tar hänsyn till vid utformandet av kompensationsplaner oc
I en tid där striden står mellan kulturkonservatism och modernism utmärker sig kulturdemokratin som ett slags tredje ståndpunkt. Det traditionella kulturbegreppets idealism förkastas och samtidigt tar kulturdemokratin avstånd från den svårtillgängliga modernismen. Kulturell demokrati blir en ny idé om vad det moderna borde vara, en idé som överlever 60-talet och lägger under sig allt större delar
