In crisis-hit Greece, there have been an unprecedented rise of grassroots self-help initiatives for the last three to four years, and the whole phenomenon has come to be known as the quest for social and solidarity economy. With the consolidation of political and economic power in today’s capitalist market economy, the social and solidarity movement in Greece has been seeking for a way forward to

About the various roles of the animals featured in Marlen Haushofer's 1963 "The Wall" ("Die Wand").

I denna uppsats undersöker jag Scanlons värdeteori, med fokus på hans syn på intrinsikalt värde, och då framför allt frågan huruvida människolivet kan sägas ha intrinsikalt värde. Genom att först grundligt presentera Scanlons värdeteori – hans hänskjutande redogörelse för värde (eng. Buck-Passing) - och sedan släppa fram kritiska röster, resonerar jag mig fram till en grund att stå på i denna värd

The immigrants from China have generally taken over European immigrants to play important role in the North America since 1960s. Based on the human capital theory and neoclassical economic theory, this thesis examines the characteristics of Chinese immigrants who respectively arrived at the United States and Canada since 1990 (cohort 1990-1997 and cohort 1998- 2000). The data is coming from the 20

Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems have been used by organizations and companies the world throughout since 1990. Many universities have recently replaced their legacy systems with ERP systems to improve work efficiency. One solution available for universities by way of management information system is the Campus ERP system. The Campus ERP system helps universities incorporate all departme

We review Buchler and Colangelo's result that leading divergences at any loop order can be calculated using only one-loop calculations and we provide an alternative proof. We then use this method to calculate the leading divergences of and thus the leading logarithmic corrections to the meson mass in the massive $O(N)$ nonlinear sigma model to five-loop order. We also calculate the all-loop result

Popular Abstract in Swedish Bakgrund och syfte med avhandlingen Glutenintolerans, celiaki är en av de vanligaste kroniska sjukdomarna bland barn och innebär att man inte tåler gluten, som är ett protein och finns i vete, råg och korn. Tunntarmen har en veckad slemhinna med fingerlika utskott , tarmludd och hela tarmen har en yta på 250 kvadratmeter, vilket är lika stort som en tennisplan. Den stBackground: The prevalence of celiac disease (CD) is estimated to be around 1%, but most CD cases are undiagnosed. Sweden experienced an epidemic of clinically detected celiac disease in children younger than 2 years of age, partly due to changes in infant feeding practices, were the amount of gluten and age at introduction was changed. However, it was not clear if the increase in clinically detec

We study some properties of random walks perturbed at extrema, which are generalizations of the walks considered, e.g., by Davis (1999) and Tth (1996). This process can also be viewed as a version of an excited random walk, recently studied by many authors. We obtain several properties related to the range of the process with infinite memory and prove the strong law, the central limit theorem, and

In this chapter, the author analyses a new Swedish curriculum for schools that was presented in 2011 and came into effect the same year. Basically the focus in the subject of music is on playing music, creating music, and listening to music. But key citations within the subject of music show a return to some ideas from the beginning of the 20th century regarding nationalism, a Nordic ethnocentric

Det ena syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka skillnaderna mellan den offentliga och den privata sektorn ifråga om arbetstagares kritikrätt. Det andra syftet är att undersöka konsekvenserna för denna rättighet av en dom från Europadomstolen, Fuentes Bobo mot Spanien. Offentligt anställda har en grundlagsskyddad yttrandefrihet, som kan utnyttjas i princip i vilken situation som helst. Begränsni

Abstract The European union experience sometimes difficulties in advancing its work due to the member states? different ambitions and interests. The budget is one common tool that the member states can use in order to implement different policies according to their preferences. A large share of the budget is presently tied up in the CAP, the common agricultural policy. This share could be spent i

För att garantera en rättssäker brottmålsprocess är det av stor betydelse att den misstänkte får insyn i det material som innehas av polisen och åklagaren. Utan insyn i utredningsmaterialet skulle det starkt begränsa den misstänktes möjligheter att försvara sig på ett fullgott sätt och att kontrollera åklagarens och domstolens bedömning. Den misstänktes rätt till insyn är emellertid inte absolut oIn order to guarantee that the criminal proceedings are in compliance with the rule of law, it is of great importance that the suspect has access to the materials held by the police and the prosecutor. Without such access, it would severely limit the suspect’s access to adequate facilities for the preparation of his defence and ability to verify the prosecutor’s and the court’s assessment. However

The question of the Palestine refugees has been an issue to the United Nations’ General Assembly (UNGA) ever since its creation in 1948, and it has played an immense role in the Israeli-Palestine conflict. Everyone involved wants to find a solution to the problem, but 65 years on, the issue is as complex as it has ever been. The question of which actor have the main human rights responsibility for
