Policy conflicts in the multilateral Arctic cooperation have gained more space during the past few years. Once established for cooperation and interaction among the Arctic states and indigenous peoples, along with the promotion of sustainable development and environmental protection, the Arctic Council is now facing some challenges in fulfilling its core doctrines. This development is primarily a

ABB has identified a potential in decreasing their levels of capital employed and in particular net working capital, NWC. To release tied up capital from the balance sheet, a decision was taken to start an initiative with focus on NWC. The focus area is to reduce NWC as percentage of revenues and to reduce the levels of overdues. The objective of this report is to describe a methodology for decrea

Title: Learning and creating – A study of organists’ learning and creative processes in playing a hymn and a hymn prelude. In this study, I wanted to explore how organists experience the learning and creative processes in interpretation of written music and improvisation. The empirical study consisted of four organists playing a hymn prelude and a hymn, and the initial aim was to study individual

Chronic glomerular and tubular nephrotoxicity has been reported in up to 50% and 25%, respectively, of children and adolescents treated with ifosfamide and up to 60% and 30% of those given cisplatin. Up to 35% of children have proteinuria and microalbuminuria, implying chronic glomerular damage, after unilateral nephrectomy for a renal tumour. We are still learning about nephrotoxicity due to the

This study investigated the influence of five El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) types on rainy-season precipitation in China: central Pacific warming (CPW), eastern Pacific cooling (EPC), eastern Pacific warming (EPW), conventional ENSO and ENSO Modoki. The multi-scale moving t test was applied to determine the onset and withdrawal of rainy season. Results showed that the precipitation anomaly c

The overall aim of this thesis was to study life satisfaction (LS) and factors associated to LS in the group aged 78 and above. As an aid in interpreting the findings, Baltes’ and Baltes’ theory of selective optimisation with compensation (SOC) was used. All four studies included the same studypopulation who were followed for three years in the study Good Aging in Skåne, a national, randomized, po

This paper presents an analysis of a regional transport infrastructure plan in Sweden. A comparison is made of two concepts central to transport infrastructure planning in Sweden; Regional expansion and Environmentally sound transport. These concepts signify different perspectives on the benefits and problems with transport. The analysis explains how these clashing perspectives are resolved in the

Popular Abstract in English “We are not free in this area.” This is what the iNduna, a traditional leader at KwaDapha, shared with me when we first met in August 2011. KwaDapha is a small rural community at Bhanga Nek, Kosi Bay, in northern KwaZulu-Natal/Maputaland – one of the most scenic areas on the South African coastline. Kosi Bay falls within the Coastal Forest Reserve section of the iSimaIn the past several decades under a growing influence of ecological modernisation, various assumed ‘win-win’ approaches to protected area conservation and poverty alleviation have been introduced all over the world, especially in resource-rich developing countries. Yet protected area conservation is an inherently political process, and the goals are often not achieved. There are concerns about com

The problem of windfall has recently become more and more frequent in marine insurance. The solution to the problem would affect both international business and the insurance industry. The Marine Insurance Act 1906 has not specified clearly about the solution; relevant English cases seem to render different decisions as to the payment recovered from the third party. The problem is caused by the co

I denna uppsats undersöks brottsoffrets roll i straffprocessen.

The aim of this paper is to clarify the role of victims in criminal procedures and to examine whether there is any need to change victims’ role and position through these perspectives. The aim and functions of the criminal procedure together with its fundament

Up to recently mobile gamma spectrometry has mostly been performed with NaI(Tl)-based detector systems. However lately the interest of using HPGe(High Purity Germanium)-based systems have increased and one has realised that the excellent energy resolution of HPGe-detectors, in combination with the possibility to manufacture larger crystals than before, is an advantage not only when performing in s

Today there is more people living in urban areas than in rural; this has changed the structure of the cities and resulted in a faster growing slum in the developing world, especially in Sub Saharan Africa (SSA). The purpose of this study is to first give a broad overview of slum characters and motivations, and analyze the fact that slum formation is wider in developing countries than in industrial

Purpose: The purpose of the study is to contribute to the knowledge on the use of risk management and especially ERM in different context. More specifically the aim is to find what similarities and differences there are in the use of ERM between public and private sector, as well as to find what variations there are within each sector. Methodology: The method used during this multiple case study,
