The European Union has long been regarded as a global transformative power, capable of promoting democratic reforms in candidate countries through its merit-based enlargement process. However, democratic backsliding in the Western Balkans has raised concerns about the credibility and effectiveness of EU conditionality. This thesis examines the extent to which the EU enlargement process has enabled
An important question for the psychology of religion is if religion can be interpreted as a constructive or a destructive force. When people endure a crisis caused by the death of a beloved relative, this subject is more pressing than ever. In today’s society, the religious death rite is the normalized way for the mourner to bid her last farewell , regardless if she’s religious or not. This is one
Title: Access to cultural education in a multi-ethnical context. The right to dance and play an instrument, to paint and work with film is taken for granted by many children in Malmoe today. The agenda explicitely phrases the intent of the publicly financed schools of art for children to reflect the multi-ethnic demographics of the city. Public community music schools of today, incorporate classe
I ett samhälle som ständigt utvecklas, och under en pågående lågkonjunktur, är arbetsbrist ett fenomen som verksamheter behöver kunna hantera. Föreliggande kandidatuppsats utgår från rättsdogmatisk metod för att undersöka hur uppsägning vid arbetsbrist regleras i svensk lagstiftning, främst i LAS, och kollektivavtal. Analysen fokuserar på hur olika delar av svensk lagstiftning och kollektivavtal pIn a society that is constantly evolving, and during an ongoing recession, redundancy is a phenomenon that organisations need to be able to manage. This bachelor thesis is based on a legal-dogmatic method to investigate how dismissal in the event of redundancy is regulated in Swedish legislation, mainly in LAS, and collective agreements. The analysis focuses on how different parts of Swedish legis
This study examines the association between revenue and user base for companies who operate a platform-mediated business model and benefit from network effects. More specifically, the study incorporates both an exponential and linear function in order to see which one most accurately explains the association. Previous research has theorized the notion of an exponential association between revenue
This paper establishes reserve price as an ethical necessity contrary to its popular interpretation as an instrument of revenue maximization. It provides an axiomatic justification to reserve pricing at Vickrey auction in single as well as multiple objects settings. In particular, it provides a topological interpretation of a reserve price as the infimum of the set of non-negative real numbers sat
Early-life adversity negatively affects morbidity and survival in late life, but knowledge is limited about effects on women’s reproduction and reproductive health. To deepen our understanding of the full effects of disease exposure in early life, including long-term consequences, we study women’s reproductive outcomes and their offspring’s health. Using the Scanian Economic Demographic Database a
Aims and Objectives/Purpose/Research Questions:Our paper outlines the development of vocabulary proficiency tests for minority languages and addresses the challenges in doing so.Design/Methodology/Approach:The strategies are exemplified based on recently developed tests for Sicilian and Venetan, two large languages in Italy without official status. Users of these types of languages tend to have on
The Court’s central message in Pan Europe (Closer) is that the principle of mutual recognition is not absolute. When decisions fail to consider the most recent scientific and technical knowledge, the precautionary principle must be applied. This case serves as a guide for the proper application of the precautionary principle, particularly in situations where it may come into tension with the princ
Mounting evidence shows that early-life adversity negatively affects morbidity and survival in late life, but knowledge is limited about effects on health in mid-life. To deepen our understanding of the long-term consequences of disease exposure in early life, we study women’s reproductive outcomes and survival. Using the Scanian Economic Demographic Database (SEDD) and Swedish administrative regi
Shell galaxies make a class of tidally distorted galaxies, characterized by wide concentric arc(s), extending out to large galactocentric distances with sharp outer edges. Recent observations of young massive star clusters in the prominent outer shell of NGC 474 suggest that such systems host extreme conditions of star formation. In this paper, we present a hydrodynamic simulation of a galaxy merg
In this paper I will introduce a conceptualisation of that kind of thinking which per definition precedes the coming up with a novel idea. By the use of basic etymology, I have named this cognitive phenomena preflexivity. As thereby indicated, I propose that preflexivity, on an analytical level, comes before reflexivity. What I aim to highlight through the lens of preflexivity is the generative po
ObjectivesBeing met with empathy increases information sharing, treatment coherence, and helps patients to recover faster. However, we do not know how the content of the conversation about disease progression, new treatments, or other issues concerning serious illness affects patients' perceptions of the physician's empathy, and thus, the quality of the conversation. This study aimed to test the h
This paper explores the history of wind power technologies and the integration of wind energy in the Danish energy system. It does so focusing particularly on historical events, socio-cultural and socio-political changes and priorities that were important on this technological journey. From the first primitive wind turbines in the late 1800s, to the world wars, through the energy- crisis in the 70
The lifetime risk of developing atrial fibrillation (AF) is estimated to be between 1in 3 to 1 in 4 individuals, making it the most common arrhythmia in the world.For persistent AF, rate control drugs with the purpose to affect the conduction properties of the atrioventricular (AV) node are the most common treatment. The drug of choice varies between β-blockers and calcium channel blockers, often
The goal of a medico-legal autopsy is primarily to determine the cause and manner of death. To this end, the pathologist often uses auxiliary analyses, including histology. However, the utility of routine histology in all medico-legal autopsies is unknown. Earlier studies on the utility of routine histology have shown inconsistent effects, with some studies recommending it and others rejecting it.
Capture into mean motion resonance (MMR) is an important dynamical mechanism because it shapes the final architecture of a planetary system. We simulate systems of two or three planets undergoing migration with varied initial parameters such as planetary mass and disk surface density and analyse the resulting resonant chains. In contrast to previous studies, our results show that the disk properti
During the past decade, scholars have produced a vast amount of research using linked historical individual-level data, shaping and changing our understanding of the past. This linked data revolution has been powered by methodological and computational advances, partly focused on supervised machine-learning methods that rely on training data. The importance of obtaining high-quality training data
Recent experimental results by the surface force apparatus (SFA) have identified a dramatic deviation from previously established theories of simple electrolytes. This deviation, referred to as anomalous underscreening, suggests that the range of electrostatic interactions increase upon a further addition of salt, beyond some threshold concentration (usually about 1 M). In this theoretical work, w
