With the rise of international fractionalization of production, global value chain (GVC) integration has become an important pillar of economic growth strategies, especially in low- and middle-income countries during the past decades. Differentiating between backward and forward GVC integration, economic growth and upgrading potentials are well-defined, but to be sustainable growth through GVC int
The Base of the Pyramid (BoP) refers to 4 - 4,5 billion people in the world, who are living on less than a few dollars per day. This majority of the world's population has a little resources and is usually considered as a group with no purchasing power and therefore is currently unserved and underserved by current products and services. However, more than any others, the low-income consumers a
The purpose of this essay is to investigate what or which practices Eslöv uses to find niches in the Öresund region. The basic data for the study is a community project called “The image of Eslöv” which began in autumn 2011, and that extends to the summer of 2012. Communal documents are a major part of the background facts to the essay to give the reader a better understanding of the municipality.
In 2007 the preferential trading agreements between the EUs and its former colonies elapsed. The need for the new Economical Partnership Agreement had been known for long and the new agreements were claimed to have a larger development element and aimed to stimulate regional integration in the African communities. Making African states negotiate in Regional Economic Communities to reach region-wid
Foster children´s contact with the biological parents [translated titel] My intentions with this paper were to examined how social services respond to needs the children placed in foster care might have of their biological parents. Conflicts often arise in the contact between the biological parents and foster families. These could affect the children in placements in a negative way, and therefore
The European Spallation Source is currently under construction in Lund, Sweden. Consisting of a linear accelerator delivering an unprecedented 5 MW proton beam to the spallation source, i.e. a rotating Tungsten disk, it will deliver high-flux neutron beams to multiple beamlines at which scientific experiments will be conducted in many scientific disciplines.To simulate the proton beam and for crea
Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingen berör membranbaserade tekniker för provupparbetning, vilket enkelt uttryckt innebär att använda membran för att ”skilja agnarna från vetet”. De membran som använts kan designas för att vara selektivt genomsläppliga, d.vs. släppa igenom vissa molekyler och inte andra. Denna selektivitet behöver inte vara baserad på molekylstorlek, tvärtom styrs den mer av moComplex biological and environmental samples require a high degree of selectivity in order to determine components therein. Sensitivity measures, such as analyte pre-concentration are often required for assessing composition quantitatively. Use of membranes and especially non-porous membranes for extraction purposes offers in many cases the desired measure of selectivity and sensitivity for trace

There are several challenges that have to be considered in order to reduce the cost of System-on-Chip (SoC) testing, such as test application time, chip area overhead due to hardware introduced to enhance the testing, and the price of the test equipment. In this thesis the test application time and the test infrastructure hardware overhead of multiple-core SoCs are considered and two different pro
Diamonds are one of the most valuable elements on earth, having the potential to contribute to economic development. However, in recent years, it has come to the world’s attention that the illicit trading in diamonds has financed gruesome wars and human rights abuse, and the problem has not gone away. These diamonds have come to be termed as conflict diamonds. In order to mitigate conflict diamond
The terror organization ISIS is using brutal sexual violence in their warfare, targeting women and children in Iraq and Syria. In 2015, more than 5000 women of the Yazidi minority were kidnapped and sold into sex slavery. The aim with this thesis is to answer the research question “How does ISIS benefit from using sexual violence?”, by using the three indicators “good economy”, “motivation to fi
Standardized assessment instruments have been introduced in social work with the aim of measuring outcome effects and raising quality. One example, the ASI (Addiction Severity Index), is a standardi- zed questionnaire which can be regarded as a success story in Sweden and around the globe. The questionnaire, originally created by quantitative researchers and focusing on Vietnam Veterans in volun-
När jag hade flöjtlektioner på kulturskola värderades inte musiken efter genrer. Min upplevelse var att flera olika genrer förekom lika ofta på lektionerna. När jag senare sökte in till musikhögskolan och var tvungen att välja genre rubbades denna bild och jag frågade mig vad min roll som flöjtpedagog kommer vara. Ska jag nischa mig inom en genre, eller ska jag kunna lära ut lite av varje? SyftetWhen I had flute lessons at the community school of music and art, music was not valued according to genres. My experience was that several different genres were equally common in the lessons. When I later applied to Malmö Academy of Music, and had to choose a genre, this idea was disrupted and I asked myself what my role as a flute teacher would be. Should I specialize myself within a genre, or s
