Förhandlingarna om att skapa världens största regionala frihandelsområde pågår just nu mellan EU och USA. Det påtänkta frihandelsavtalet, TTIP, diskuteras flitigt och i centrum för diskussionerna har tvistlösningssystemet ISDS hamnat. ISDS står för Investor-State Dispute Settlement och är en tvistlösningsmekanism som brukar skrivas in bilaterala investeringsskyddsavtal. Syftet med uppsatsen är attNegotiations about creating the worlds’ largest free trade area are currently being held between the EU and the U.S. The intended free trade agreement, TTIP, is debated extensively and the dispute settlement mechanism, ISDS, is in the very center of the debate. ISDS is a kind of dispute settlement mechanism that is frequently used in bilateral investment treaties. The purpose of this paper is to,

Rehabiliteringsgarantin infördes 2009 som en åtgärd för att förebygga skadliga sjukskrivningar för personer med lätt till medelsvår ångest, depression, stressrelaterade besvär samt en del benigna smärttillstånd. Den som sökte hjälp skulle få rehabilitering och ett av rehabiliteringsalternativen var kognitiv beteendeterapi, KBT. Deltagarna i denna pilotstudie fick KBT-behandling inom ramen för rehaRehabilitation guarantee was instated in 2009 as a step to prevent harmful sick leave for people with moderate anxiety, depression, distress conditions, and partial benign pain-related disabilites. Patients who are in need of help would get rahabilitation. One alternative in rehabilitation is cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). Participants in this study got CBT-treatment as a part of rehabilitati

Political analyses of the reform period China are plentiful, and for each analysis, there seems to be another version of a “China Model” or “Beijing Consensus” for economic and social development. This paper argues that these vague conceptualizations need to be rooted in empirical observations; they need to be products of induction rather than deductive processes that reiterate the preconceptions

A method for investigating how the ocean surface aects the accuracy of Airborne Lidar Bathymetry surveys, (ALB), due to environmental conditions, was developed. Computer graphic techniques were examined and utilized for construction of realistic ocean surfaces. Wave spectrum models available in the literature describing the wave number composition of ocean surfaces were used in order to be able to

Communication is a keyword to success in a construction project and whit modern-days situation with the reduced building time and a lot of stress involved is it very important that correct information reaches out to the right persons on the right time. Many different partners are involved in the building project and each one of them works towards their own goals without thinking of the integrity.

The aim of our research has been to identify what prevents Syncron from implementing a single item emergency ordering policy in their inventory management system, GIM. Emergency ordering is defined here as the ability to use two supply sources, a normal one and a faster more expensive emergency source. We further wanted to investigate under what circumstances an emergency ordering policy could be

The Swedish archaeological and bioarchaeological research on executions and execution victims in the past is very sparse. This is partly due to the fact that people who were executed by law were by norm buried outside of the communities and cemeteries. The aim with this study is to contribute knowledge to the field. This is done by bioarchaeologically examine a mass grave containing six individual

Hals- och huvudregionen innehåller många luftkaviteter t.ex. luftstrupe, bihålor och munhåla. Detta arbete undersökte vad som händer i vävnaden kring dessa luftkaviteter när de blir bestrålade med fotoner och hur bra ett dosplaneringssystem för strålbehandling modellerar den absorberade dosen till ett heterogent medium. Dosberäkningarna gjordes med hjälp av ett Monte Carlo-simuleringsprogram somPurpose: To study the build-down and build up of the absorbed dose at the interface between air and tissue in the head and neck region. Monte Carlo simulations are compared to a treatment planning system that is used at the University Hospital in Lund. Materials and methods A virtual phantom was constructed to resemble an air cavity in the head and neck region. The phantom consisted of a water cyl

A detailed sedimentological study was made on six section walls in the Tvärkroken gravel pit, Idre, west-central Sweden. Based on sediment characteristics, three sedimentary units, units 1-3, were identified. The lowest unit, unit 1, was formed by deposition from sediment-loaded underflows into a stagnant basin. A gradual decrease in water depth is indicated in the upper part of this unit. Post-de

A sustainable development was defined by the Brundtlandscommission for the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development as "... a development that meets present needs without compromising future generations to meet their own needs". The definition includes a broad consideration of economic, environmental and social aspects. The definition thus creates a good example of the

The pattering of an optical surface with physical features like with very low reflectivity and high transmission of IR or visible light can be used e.g. for antireflective windows for solar cells and photodetectors. Here we present results on antireflective patterning of Si for back side illuminated InAsSb nanowire long wavelength IR (8-15 µm) photodetectors. Photolithography and dry etching techn

The low representation of women in almost every legislative form of life is an international con-cern. In reality, very small portion of women representations are seen in the government in pro-portion to their population. Now a day women participation in the parliament is assumed neces-sary in modern democracy because decent number of women representation is noticed as crucial for appropriate gove

Levnadsförhållandena är vanligtvis låga för människor som lever i flytande byar runt om i världen. Avsaknaden av adekvata avfallssystem i flytande byar försämrar både människors hälsa samtidigt som sjöar kontamineras. Detta examensarbete utvärderar hållbarheten av att implementera flytande bioreaktorer som avfallssystem för flytande byar i sjön Tonlé Sap, Kambodja. Det huvudsakliga syftet är att bConditions for humans living in floating villages around the world are usually in the lowest earning bracket. The lack of sanitary facilities pollutes lakes and deteriorates human health. This master thesis evaluates the environmental sustainability of implementing floating biodigesters as a sanitary solution in a village located on the lake Tonlé Sap in Cambodia. The main objectives include asses

This study examines the war-time mobilization in Sweden during World War II by looking at three case studies. The empirical part of the study focus on three specific strategies for food security lead by the Swedish authorities during the war: the transition to plant-based agriculture and consumption, use of "the forest's pantry" and cooperation between urban and rural areas. In the

The primary purpose of this study was to establish an interaction effect between effortful control and neuroticism on problem‐solving coping. The secondary purpose was to examine the relationships between all three variables by establishing a correlation matrix. The sample consisted of 64 individuals, 18‐25 years old. The scores on the variables neuroticism and effortful control were used to creat

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning De båda polerna har naturliga variationer med istäckets utbredning. Arktis och Antarktis har väl anpassad biota som klarar av det stränga klimatet och som är beroende av isens säsongsvariationer med att frysa och smälta. Isen spelar även en stor roll vid klimatvariationer och förändringar. Syftet med den här studien är att undersöka vilken isbildning som är mest The polar areas have natural variations in the ice extent. The Arctic and Antarctic environment have well-adapted biota that can handle climate and that are dependent on the seasonal variations of freezing and melting of the ice. The ice also plays a major role in climate changes and climate variability. The aim of this report is to determine the type of ice formation that is most common for the p
