This thesis aims to explain the effect of Turkey’s accession process to the European Union on its asylum policy’s evolution. By applying two branches of new institutional theory––rational choice and social institutionalism––the thesis analyzed the Europeanization phenomenon of the European Union’s accession effect on domestic policy change. In order to do so, process tracing and document analysis
Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka det eventuella uppsåtets försvinnande ur svensk rätt och om lagstiftarens intentioner med detta har uppfyllts. Förståelse för det eventuella uppsåtets ursprung, dess tillämpning i praktiken, dess effekter och de problem som uppkom i samband med dessa undersöks för att besvara syftet. En jämförelse har sedan gjorts med det idag gällande likgiltighetsuppsåteThe purpose of this essay is to investigate the disappearance of dolus eventualis from the Swedish legal system, and if the legislator’s intentions have been fulfilled. To do so, one must understand the origin of dolus eventualis, its effects and the problems that arose therewith. A comparison has then been made with the current intent of indifference to find out if the legal application differs f
Hematopoiesis, the formation of blood cells, ultimately depends on a rare population of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs), which can both self-renew to maintain the HSC pool, and differentiate into all mature blood lineages. HSC fate decisions are governed by a complex combination of numerous signals, although the molecular mechanisms are not fully understood. This thesis describes the role of two i
The influence of adding poly(acrylic acids) of two different chain lengths (PAA(25) and PAA(6000)) on the phase behaviour of the amphiphilic triblock copolymer Pluronic (R) P104 (P104 = (EO)(27)(PO)(61)(EO)(27), where EO = ethylene oxide, PO = propylene oxide) in H2O was investigated. The resulting phase equilibria and structures were investigated by visual inspection, using crossed polarizers, an
Research Questions: In organizations which do not typically support telecommuting, how do employees experience social interactions while working remotely during a global pandemic? As organizations are forced to work remotely during a global pandemic, how did the experience influence the mentality around remote working? Methodology: The research is an interpretive and qualitative study. We conduc
Organizations are currently facing an image-centered culture, where people are overwhelmed by pictures. Due to the high level of intensity and constant exposition to such material more and more people are normalizing the images that they are exposed to. Organizations’ communication is then lost inside the background noise, failing to be remembered by their target audience and especially to contrib
Lekmannadomare har en viktig roll i såväl det svenska som norska rättsväsendet. I båda länderna har användandet av lekmannadomare en lång historisk bakgrund. Lekmannadomares roll har skiftat över tiden i båda länderna. I nutid finns stora likheter mellan nämndemannasystemen i Sverige och Norge. Det finns dock skillnader som är värda att belysa och analysera. Den här uppsatsen syftar till att Lay judges have an important role in both the Swedish and Norwegian legal system. The use of lay judges has a long historical background in Scandinavia. Nowadays, the role of lay judges in Sweden and Norway are very similar. However, there are some differences that are worth highlighting and analyzing. This essay aims to clarify how the role of lay judges have developed in both countries from a hi
The unnecessary and disproportionate use of pre-trial detention is a global issue that affects developed and developing countries alike. According to World Prison Brief, Cambodia has ranked 12th (among 217 countries) making it become a country with one of the highest percentages of pre-trial detainees: 71.8 percent to be exact. The excessive and unnecessary use of pre-trial detention in the Kingdo
This paper investigates whether the forecasting performance of Bayesian factor-augmented VAR (BFAVAR) models can be improved by incorporating an informative prior on the steady-state of the time series in the system. The BFAVAR model is compared to the extended steady-state BFAVAR in an application to forecasting Swedish inflation, making use of data from 1996 to 2016. Results show that the out-of
The European sovereign debt crisis, which emerged in 2009, revealed unsustainable fiscal policies among several countries in the Eurozone periphery (Matthews, 2011). In fact, high debt ratios are a potential problem for a majority of the countries in the euro area, reaching an average ratio of 92.8 percent in 2015 (Eurostat, 2015). Theoretically, common pool problems and moral hazard within a mone
Climate change is having a discernible effect on many biological and ecological processes. Among observed changes, modifications in bird phenology have been widely documented. However, most studies have interpreted phenological shifts as gradual biological adjustments in response to the alteration of the thermal regime. Here we analysed a long-term dataset (1980-2010) of short-distance migratory r
The main study of missionaries has commonly been practiced within the field of mission study. The impact of missionaries has however not just been within the field of theology since there is a tradition to be a part of a foreign aid as well. This study will trough a qualitative approach look closer on this, by interviewing missionaries, and by analysing policy’s of the international Christian comm
Popular Abstract in Swedish Det stratosfäriska ozonlagret håller på att förtunnas och detta kommer att leda till att mer skadlig ultraviolett-B (UV-B) strålning når ner till biosfären. För att undersöka hur detta påverkar ett subarktiskt hedekosystem har vi bestrålat ett sådant med extra UV-B strålning motsvarande 15 % ozonförtunning. Studierna har utförts på en dvärgbuskhed vid Abisko NaturvetensThe stratospheric ozone depletion and the concomitant increase in ultraviolet-B (UV-B, 280-320 nm) radiation is of global concern due to the effects of UV-B on living organisms. To investigate the effects of increased levels of UV-B, a field irradiation system was established at a subarctic dwarf shrub heath in Northern Sweden (68 °N). An ozone depletion of 15 % under clear sky conditions was simu
Introduction: Impaired functioning is seen in patients following replantation surgery to the thumb or fingers. Our aim was to explore long-term consequences and adaptation in daily life after a thumb and/or multiple finger amputation followed by replantation surgery during young age. Methods: Semi-structured interviews were conducted with nine recruited individuals and analysed using content analy
The use of process models to simulate the fate of micropollutants in wastewater treatment plants is constantly growing. However, due to the high workload and cost of measuring campaigns, many simulation studies lack sufficiently long time series representing realistic wastewater influent dynamics. In this paper, the feasibility of the Benchmark Simulation Model No. 2 (BSM2) influent generator is t
The three-dimensional structure of the major birch pollen allergen, the 17,500 M(r) acidic protein Bet v 1 (from the birch, Betula verrucosa), is presented as determined both in the crystalline state by X-ray diffraction and in solution by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. This is the first experimentally determined structure of a clinically important inhalant major allergen, estimate
The effects on wood of simultaneous mechanical and moisture loading are studied. In order to clarify the mechano-sorptive behaviour of wood, a review of different phenomena presented in the literature is included. Compressive tests have been performed on spruce. The tests have been performed with both constant load and varying load. The humidity has been varied during the tests. The properties of
Since the basic concepts in the area of building physics are usually ignored, preventable failures are continuing to occur in modern buildings. The aim of this project is to evaluate the economic effects of different building physics aspects during the different stages in the building process and show the importance of applying building physics to designs. The hypothesis of this project is that ec
