The relationship between the United Kingdom and Kenya is longstanding, evolving from a colonizer-colony relationship to a contemporary ‘partnership’ centered on aid processes and effectiveness. Since Kenyan independence, the UK has maintained close ties through various development initiatives. For this thesis, we have analyzed 12 development cooperation policy papers. To analyze these documents, w

This thesis explores experiences and perceptions of interreligious dialogue of students at Lund University, with a particular focus on members of religion-based student associations. The study aims to examine how students understand interreligious dialogue, how they experience interactions with people from other faith traditions, and what motivates or limits interreligious engagement between diffe

The impacts of climate change are being seen within the estuarine environment through erosion and shoreline retreat, associated with sea-level rise and changes in storm activity. Restoration oyster reefs have been identified as a working-with-nature strategy to protect and restore these shoreline environments, stabilising sediment, and reducing erosion. Despite restoration projects already being i

Syftet med föreliggande masteruppsats är att redogöra för och analysera rätten att vidta stridsåtgärder samt föreningsfrihet, i synnerhet i situationer då arbetsgivaren redan är bunden av kollektivavtal. I huvudsak kommer tre perspektiv att tillämpas; ett internationellt, ett nationellt samt ett med användande av den pågående konflikten i Göteborgs hamn. För att uppnå syftet har en rättsdogmatisk The aim of the thesis is to analyse the right to undertake industrial actions and freedom of association, especially in the case where a collective agreement already is in place. The thesis applies mainly three perspectives: a national, an international and lastly one with the concrete use of the ongoing conflict in the port of Gothenburg. To achieve the aim a legal dogmatic method is applied. T

Product quality is a major concern for all companies. Predicting the lifetime return rate allows for identification of products with atypically high return rates. Such products might otherwise not have been detected before it is too late to take any action to reduce the return rate. Furthermore, predicting a product’s return rate allows for estimation of the company’s expected cost of handling ret

Objective: Patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) have an increased risk of developing vascular diseases (VD) such as myocardial infarction, stroke and venous thrombosis, which can only partly be explained by traditional risk factors. The role of platelets in this process has not been extensively studied. Platelet activation supports complement binding to the platelet surface, and incre

The purpose of this study is to investigate different experiences of domestic, socio-cultural and political life of Bangladeshi diaspora women, living in Scandinavia (especially in Sweden and Denmark). This has done by analysing different life experiences of 22 women (11 in Malmö, Sweden and 11 in Copenhagen, Denmark) who have all been living in these western societies as immigrants. The study inc

Transitional justice inevitably means striking a balance between justice and peace. The purpose of this paper is to examine and analyze how policies of truth and justice have fared over time and continue to hold momentum in the case of Chile and Argentina. I will carry out this aim through a comparative study guided essentially by two theoretical approaches of transitional justice- legalism and pr

Secondary organic aerosol (SOA) mass yields were tested for six combinations of two anthropogenic volatile organic compounds (AVOC); m-xylene & toluene, and three biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOC); α-pinene, myrcene & isoprene. The purpose was to investigate any non-additive results in SOA formation from mixtures of AVOCs and BVOCs by comparing experimental yield with correspondin

Gender-based violence survivors have barriers to access to justice around the globe. However, States are responsible for removing those barriers and ensuring that everyone can access needed services and justice without discrimination regardless of their gender, sexual orientation, race, nationality, disability, or age. Turkey is no exception with its international commitments and domestic laws to

Purpose:
Identify alternative to the current air transportation routes from supply units in Asia to European customers. The authors strive to provide the department of Supply Flow & Logistics with proposals of how they can reduce their costs and environmental effects connected to transportation. The authors also strive to display and evaluate the risk connected to a change in transp

This thesis for the Master’s degree takes its starting point in eight library manifestos produced by International Federation of Library Association and Institutions (IFLA). The focus is on the role and missions of public libraries expressed through these manifestos. The great authority of IFLA contributes to the values of the organization and tends to become the norm for the activities of librari

This study questions the linear and top-down planning and implementation methods of mainstream development projects, as they do not seem to: achieve its expected outcomes; respond to the complex development context; or allow development beneficiaries to be a part of deciding their own development, despite promotions of inclusive approaches. The purpose was to explore if collaboration could serve a

Rätten till grundskola har blivit föremål för reglering i internationella instrument rörande mänskliga rättigheter såväl som i EU-lagstiftning. För de EU-migranter som lagligt utnyttjar sin rätt till fri rörlighet i maximalt tre månader är existensen av rätten till utbildning i den mottagande medlemsstaten dock oklart och syftet med den här studien är att undersöka huruvida en sådan rätt finns i dThe right to primary education has been subject to regulation in both international human rights law and EU law. However, the right to education in the host state for EU migrants who lawfully exercise their freedom of movement, for a maximum of three months, is unclear. The aim of this study is to investigate whether such a right exists in this particular circumstance. EU legislation explicitly

The development of neuromorphic computing requires devices that can use low power consumption and highly parallel architecture to process and store information, similar to the biological nervous systems. Molecular photoswitches, especially Donor–Acceptor Stenhouse Adducts (DASAs), offer a promising platform for such applications, because they undergo reversible, light-driven structural changes and

The foundation of this thesis has been to investigate the possibilities of giving Stena Aluminium, a company recycling aluminium, increased control to regulate and steer the risk they are taking when exposing raw material and finished goods. Stena Aluminium wants to minimize the risk of losses on raw material and finished goods when prices change. This is a large problem for instance when raw mate
