International development aid is big business. A flow of funds reaches the Global South each year, creating aid clusters with concentrated implementing development organizations. This study looks closer at development in practice in one of these aid hubs, studying the relations between the development community of Gulu, Northern Uganda, and its clients. In focus are power relations between the org
Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Förekomsten av finkorniga granitgångar är ett potentiellt problem vid lagring av kärnbränsle i berggrunden eftersom de utgör svaghetszoner. Det är därför viktigt att ta reda på hur dessa gångar beter sig i berggrunden. Huvudsyftet med detta examensarbete är att undersöka om de finkorniga granitgångarna är kontrollerade av några strukturer i tunneln vid ÄspölaborThe occurrence of fine-grained granite (FGG) dykes is one of the potential problems in the storage of nuclear waste in the bedrock. It is therefore important to locate and characterise such dykes. The major object in this thesis is to investigate, whether the FGG dykes at the Äspö Hard Rock Laboratory (ÄHRL) are structurally controlled. This involves measuring the orientations of the dykes, to cor
The aim of this Master’s thesis is to study some of the consequences the collaboration model has brought about to public libraries in Skåne. Since the implementation of the model in 2011, the regions have obtained increased responsibilities in terms of both development work and allocation of funds to public libraries in the region. The regional cultural plan states that Kultur Skåne – The Administ
Olagligt, orapporterat och oreglerat (IUU) fiske är ett av de största hoten mot den marina biologiska mångfalden. Problematiken går hand i hand med farhågorna kring överfiske, något som har anammats av det internationella samfundet under de senaste två decennierna. Stater har uppmanats att på egen hand eller genom gemensamma initiativ, vidta åtgärder för att bekämpa IUU-fiske. Som en utav de störsIllegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing activities are currently considered to be one of the largest threats to the conservation of marine living resources and biodiversity. Thus, the international community have for the last two decades called upon States to take measures, individually or jointly, to combat IUU fishing. As an important actor on the global market, the European Union (EU)
Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Examensarbetet har gått ut på att med hjälp av satellitbilder göra markanvändningsdata för att förbättra en modell som beräknar vart de luftburna föroreningarna tar vägen. Föroreningarna svavel och kväve deponeras med olika hastighet över olika marktyper, därför vill man använda sig av markanvändningsdata i modellerna. Svavelutsläppen har ökat dramatiskt under Sulphur emissions during the last century has led to major acidification of the environment. The acidity of soil and water is a threat to health and economic interests of man, e.g. the food and paper/wood production in the agricultural and silvicultural industries. The Black Triangle region suffers from severe damage caused by acidification and actions to decrease the acid rain over fields and for
The purpose of this report is to develop a model that identifies and reveals the total carbon dioxide emissions generated throughout in- and outbound freight transport made by Höganäs Sweden. The developed model is to be used for future environmental calculations and also act as a tool for discovering new areas of environmental improvements. During the developing process of the model a key issue
Mot bakgrund av direktiv 1999/70/EG som genomför ramavtalet om visstidsarbete slutet mellan ETUC, UNICE och CEEP har det ifrågasatts om lag (1982:80) om anställningsskydd lever upp till direktivets krav avseende införande av hinder mot att tidsbegränsade anställningsformer missbrukas. Ramavtalet mellan de sociala parterna inriktar sig speciellt på missbruk som uppstår ur användningen av på varandr
Today wind power developers are exploring the possibilities of establishing wind turbines in forest areas, therefore improved sound prediction models for complex terrains are valuable. The Swedish model used today is only applicable for hard flat ground without any vegetation, and is not adjustable to any meteorological parameters except the wind speed. The companies DELTA, DONG Energy and EMD Int
This thesis approaches a field in refugee law, which is rather untouched by the researching community so far. The specific procedure scrutinised is the procedure allowing for asylum applications to be submitted at EU Member States' diplomatic and consular representations abroad. In the thesis this procedure goes under the name externalised processing. The specific aspect focused on is the poss
Most bilateral tax treaties contain provisions with the objective of preventing different types of treaty abuse. Limitation on benefits clauses are an example of such provisions, and are generally found in United States tax treaties. These include various tests, which need to be fulfilled by a taxpayer wishing to enjoy the benefits of a tax treaty. Most of the United States tax treaties with EU Me
Uppsatsens syfte är att utreda vilka möjligheter det finns att ingå ett avtal trots parts passivitet. Begreppet passivitet används i betydelsen underlåtenhet att agera när part, under en process till synes syftande till att avtal ska ingås, normalt kan förväntas agera genom en positiv viljeförklaring, ett nekande eller ett förtydligande. Innan passivitetsfrågan behandlas närmare presenteras den The purpose of this essay is to investigate the possibilities of entering into a binding agreement despite the passivity of one of the parties. The term passivity is used to denote the lack of action when a party, during a process with the apparent aim of entering into an agreement, typically can be expected to act through a declaration of intent, a refusal or a clarification. Before a closer en
In 1999 the sixteen national environmental quality objectives were adopted by the Swedish parliament and in effort to achieve them the local perspective is considered essential. The environmental quality objectives should, according to the Swedish government, be a part of the municipality's overall policy on sustainable development and it is important that environmental aspects are taken into
I den pågående kampen mot klimathotet har Europeiska unionen antagit en ledande roll för att fullfölja skiftet mot en grön ekonomi, bland annat genom att fokusera på att stärka konkurrenskraften avseende tillverkningen av netto-noll energiindustrin och säkra de nödvändiga råvarorna för denna omställning. För att möjliggöra detta presenterade den Europeiska kommissionen i mars 2023, i samband med pIn the global race against climate change, the answer of the European Union is the transition towards a green economy by focusing on strengthening the competitiveness of the net-zero technology industry and securing the necessary critical materials. To do so, the Union presented two legislative acts in the European Green Deal Industrial Plan in 2023, amongst which the Net-Zero Industry Act. While
The far-infrared (FIR) fine structure lines [C II]158 μm, [O III]88 μm, [N II]122 μm, and [N III]57 μm are excellent tools for probing the physical conditions of the interstellar medium (ISM). The [O III]88 μm/[C II]158 μm and [O III]88 μm/[N II]122 μm luminosity ratios have shown to be promising tracers of the ionisation state and gas-phase metallicity of the ISM. Observations of galaxies at reds
I denna uppsats undersöks hur EU-arbetsrättens olika arbetstagarbegrepp definieras, vilken räckvidd de har samt hur dessa begrepp kan komma att utvecklas i framtiden. Arbetstagarbegreppen i både primärrätten och sekundärrätten undersöks. Undersökningen genomförs med den rättsdogmatiska metoden och den EU-rättsliga metoden. Artikel 45 FEUF var den första bestämmelsen med ett arbetstagarbegrepp i This thesis examines how the various concepts of ‘worker’ in EU labour law are defined, what their scopes are, and how these concepts may change in the future. The concepts of ‘worker’ in both primary and secondary law are examined. The examination is carried out using the legal dogmatic method and the EU legal method. Article 45 TFEU was the first regulation in the EU to contain a concept of ‘wo
Aim: This study evaluates the health effects of plant-based dairy alternatives in healthy individuals and those with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD). Specifically, it investigates whether replacing one daily meal with a plant-based alternative has a positive impact on intestinal microbiota composition and gut health. It also investigates whether the effect of probiotic bacteria in yogurt depends
