While one faction presents strategies and policy suggestions aiming to restitute what are described as mentally ill and socioe
The watch officer on board of vessels of the Netherlands Royal Navy has to deal with a wide variety of interest during his/her duty. Despite the wide variety of interests the watch officer has to manage, the amount of incidents and accidents is few. Apparently, the watch officers of the Netherlands Royal Navy are well able to manage this wide variety of interests. The aim of this thesis research
Since the Washington consensus in the 1980s, economic liberalization has been seen as a panacea for increasing the economic development and the welfare of a developing country. By reducing trade tariffs and barriers, moving from a socialistic economic system and removing state monopoly on major exports, it is believed that a developing country will increase its income and economic growth while ben
This thesis introduces different issues regarding the impact of anthropogenic sound pollution on oceanic cetaceans (whales). It involves looking at the problems of anthropocentrism and the notion of Umwelt when trying to assess the well-being of a western culturally important species, and the relationship between that species and the industrialization of the ocean. The thesis is specifically focus
Transitional economies tend to see trade liberalization and capital reforms hand in hand. The main goal or aim for lawmakers is to maximize welfare effects when bringing trade and capital reforms within an economy. A nation gets greater access to international financial markets, which in turn attracts inflow of investments within economy. This newfound inflow of investments can also be attributed
Purpose: The aim with the report is to investigate if the South East Asian customer on the food processing market base their investments on Total Cost of Ownership and if so, which are the cost drivers considered most vital. Moreover, do these cost-drivers diverge from the perception FP Ltd has, and if so, can a Total Cost of Ownership-model help to achieve a mutual understanding? Methodology: Fir
Climate change is affecting all regions of the globe, causing a shift of temperature distributions. As species try to track their optimal thermal conditions, they are also potentially met with new photic environments. Photoperiod is the main cue for synchronizing migratory birds' circannual rhythms, affecting both their physiology and migration. Thus, their ability to incorporate and adjust to
Three different processing methods of raw oat okara were used in order to determine which method will have the highest impact in eliminating unwanted microorganisms and making the okara acceptable for human consumption. Processed okara was also fermented to determine the impact of processing technique on its fermenting capabilities and to develop a starting material for a sustainable and functiona
The white stork (Ciconia ciconia), a once common species in southern Sweden, went extinct in the 1950s due to changes in agricultural practices, and is now listed as “Endangered” according to the Swedish Red List, since the population is too small to be viable on its own. Thanks to the ongoing reintroduction programme, there are now 70 breeding pairs in southern Sweden. This study aimed to verify
As globalization increasingly shapes modern workplaces, multicultural teams have become a standard feature. While such teams bring diverse perspectives and enhance problem-solving capabilities, they also face persistent challenges in communication, trust, and collaboration. Leadership plays a decisive role in determining whether diversity fosters synergy or results in fragmentation. This study exa
In the reality of Israel’s educational system, it is highly unlikely that Arab and Jewish students will ever meet at school. Within this state-segregated context, bilingual multicultural education, while having the potential to act as a catalyst for change and promote intercultural dialogue, remains on the brim of academic interests. The purpose of this thesis is to examine the complex interplay o
This study aims to examine how Abkhazia and Georgia respectively understands the conflict of Abkhazia and how these understandings may affect any attempts to resolve the conflict. A qualitative content analysis method has been conducted based on information, statements and reports from Abkhazia’s respectively Georgia’s government pages, analyzed through the theoretical framework of intractable con
Integrating immigrants into the labor market is a challenge for the city of Malmö, impacting its performance to achieve Sustainable Development Goals related to Decent Jobs and Reduced Inequalities. This thesis explores the role of 3 social innovations in addressing this challenge, guided by the Multi-Level Perspective. The research explores unique approaches these enterprises apply to create empl
This study examines the relationship between various types of external support and the duration of intrastate conflicts. Between 1975 and 2017, the majority of conflicts received external support in one shape or form and the effects of internationalising conflicts through the provision of external support are multiple. Existing literature has found that external involvement generally prolongs the
The world has witnessed different forms of conflict and wars throughout history, resulting in unprecedented suffering for countless people (Danjibo and Akinkuotu, 2019). As of the end of 2023 conflicts, war, violence, human rights violations, and other events disturbing public order have resulted in an estimated 110 million people being displaced from their homes (UNHCR, 2023). This study uses an
Background: Asthma, a prevalent chronic lung disease, affecting millions worldwide, is characterised by airway inflammation and increased smooth muscle mass and constriction, leading to the narrowing of the airway walls. Recent biologics have emerged as promising treatments for asthma. This study focuses on Tezepelumab, a monoclonal antibody targeting TSLP, which has been shown to improve airway h
In this study, about two years of data from Östergarnsholm in the Baltic Sea are used to analyse offshore low-level clouds (LLCs) influenced by low-level jets (LLJs) in the marine atmospheric boundary layer. The LLJs are passages of strong horizontal winds near the surface and are measured using a Doppler LiDAR, which provides information about the wind speed and wind direction up to 300 meters. I
Students performs differently in international comparable school evaluations such as TIMSS and PISA. One possible explanation discussed in economic research literature is that differences in the amount of instruction time across countries are the reason for international gaps in student performance. Using a within-student between-subject fixed effects model and the data from the TIMSS 2019 evaluat
Biodiversity continues its devastating decline while Europe is facing an estimated 20 million ha of farmland abandonment until 2030. By reviewing scientific and grey literature, websites, and reports I investigate the impacts of rewilding on biodiversity in connection to abandoned farmland. In addition, I analyse the amount of abandoned farmland in three project areas from the Rewilding Europe org
