After the Brexit referendum on the 23rd of June 2016 it is evident that the UK might be leaving the EU. In light of EU law, and the leave-campaign, the question of what will happen to UK merger control post-Brexit is especially riveting due to the internationality of merger control and the high impact of EU-control on competition law. Thus, the purpose of this thesis is to examine what would be th
This thesis presents an analysis of the production of K_S^0 and Λ particles in p-Pb collisions at a center of mass collision energy of sqrt(s_NN) = 5.02 TeV, measured with the ALICE detector at the LHC, CERN. The p_T spectra as well as the baryon-to-meson yield ratio Λ/K_S^0, for p_T <= 15 GeV/c, are investigated and compared for different centrality bins. The results are compared to those from Pb
År 1997 byggdes en havsvall i Isahaya bukten i Ariake havet, Japan, för att återta land för lantbruk och översvämningskontroll. Den här studien undersöker hur havsvallen har påverkat den barokliniska strukturen i Ariake havet och bildandet av hypoxiskt vatten i Ariake havet genom att fokusera på påverkan från förflyttningen av utflödet av färskvatten, den tidsmässiga förändringen för utflödet av fIn 1997 the Isahaya Sea Dike was built in the head of Isahaya Bay which is a branch of the Ariake Sea, Japan, with the aim of reclaiming land for agriculture and flood control. This study examines how the Isahaya Sea Dike has affected the baroclinic structure and development of hypoxic waters in the Ariake Sea by focusing on the spatial change of freshwater discharge, the temporal change of freshw
ILO 169 – Indigenous and Tribal Peoples Convention - is an international treaty that deals exclusively with the rights of indigenous peoples. Sweden is a country that normally commits to human rights and international treaties. However, it is still one of the countries that has not ratified ILO 169. By conducting a critical discourse analysis with a postcolonial approach, this study problematizes
Northern peatlands have accumulated carbon for thousands of years and currently hold around one third of all soil carbon on earth. Large uncertainties are associated with predictions of how northern peatlands will react to climate change. This is because the cold, wet and anaerobic conditions lead to two opposing forces from a radiative forcing perspective – CO2 sequestration from photosynthesis b
Since the introduction of the co-decision procedure in the European Union (EU), the Council of the EU and the European Parliament have become more interdependent in order to reach an agreement on a legislative file. The interdependence has led to a significant increase in the number of trilogues, which is problematic as these informal meetings are secluded and have no references to the treaties. D
This thesis has examined the relationship between third-party countermeasures under the law of state responsibility and UN Security Council enforcement measures under Chapter VII of the UN Charter. Third-party countermeasures are a concept that refers to the use of countermeasures by a state other than the injured state in response to breaches of obligations erga omnes or erga omnes partes, provid
Governance of environmental resources plays a key role in enhancing or hindering progress towards peace in post-conflict societies. Two years after the signing of the Peace Agreement between the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) and the government of Colombia, new dynamics on natural resource and land-use are leading to environmental harm in some regions. Highlands and páramo (high-ele
I övergången mellan de triassiska och jurassiska perioderna, för ca 200 miljoner år sedan, inträffade ett massutdöende som bedöms ha koppling till vulkanism i den Centralatlantiska magmatiska provinsen (CAMP). En signifikant ökning av växthusgaser som koldioxid (CO2) eller metan (CH4) och andra flyktiga ämnen, med efterföljande global uppvärmning som följd, föreslås vara den viktigaste drivkrafterAround the Triassic-Jurassic-Boundary time interval, a severe mass extinction event occurred, which has been associated to volcanism of the Central Atlantic Magmatic Province (CAMP). Significant amounts of greenhouse gases as carbon dioxide (CO2) or methane (CH4) and other volatiles are suggested to have been released into the atmosphere, leading to global warming with subsequent impact on the bio
To recover from armed conflicts, state authorities need to take on measures that will permit statebuilding to happen. Usually, the first type of measures put into place is the adoption of programmes called Disarmament, Demobilization and Reintegration (DDR). Because they target individuals who are deemed potential threats to the success of the peace process, namely combatants, DDR programmes are s
Corruption is often compared to a double-edged sword. While acting as a “necessary evil” to avoid bureaucratic inefficiencies such as red tape to grease the wheels of commerce, there are many other studies expressing their concerns regarding the negative effects corruption has on growth. Based on previous empirical evidence and theories such as the “rent-seeking” theory that conceptualize the rela
Mammalian cells are frequently under stress leading to DNA damage because of UV exposure, ionizing radiation or genotoxic chemicals. Cells have evolved a DNA damage response (DDR) mechanism to ensure survival and pass on the correct genetic information to the next generation. MITF is a melanocyte-specific transcription factor. It has been shown to accumulate in the vicinity of DNA damage and its e
The voting behavior of the Members of the European Parliament (MEP) has been widely studied. However, little is written about the effects of crises. This thesis tries to understand how the Covid-19 pandemic affected the MEPs voting behavior in relation to their European political group (EPG) and in addition their national party. This was done using the two theories: the two principal dilemma
This paper analyses the pivotal gothic novel Frankenstein by Mary Shelley through a close queer reading, focusing on excerpts featuring the artificially created creature and their maker, Victor Frankenstein. The queer perspective is applied to the gender identity and expression of the creature, which is a reading that lends itself to the teaching of the novel to Swedish upper-secondary students be
This study focuses on irregular migratory movements, and the mistreatment suffered by migrants, at the Southern Frontier of Europe, specifically at the Spanish-Moroccan border, from an international criminal law approach. The main question is whether the conduct of the security forces against migrants can be considered crimes against humanity and should therefore be investigated. The “problem” of
Title: Retro Rewind - Unveiling the Power of Nostalgia in Fashion Retro Branding and Its Influence on the Brand Perception of Young Consumers Date of the Seminar: 31 June 2024 Course: BUSN39 Degree Project in Global Marketing Authors: Juan Bibudis and Tim Mårtensson Supervisor: Tommy Shih Examiner: Mats Urde Keywords: Nostalgia, identity, perception, Consumer Culture Theory (CCT), possessions, con
Introducing a new employee into an organization is a critical time for the individual and the organization in question. Successful introductions can create high job satisfaction, increased performance, organizational commitment, and social integration – also called organizational socialization. There are many benefits of a successful socialization process; therefore, understanding what new employe
Abstract Over the past decade, refugee movements have had an increasing impact on Europe and the topic has dominated both political and news media discourse. During this time, portrayals of refugees have varied from victims to threats. The media, as an institution of control and communication, has the power of shaping the public’s views and discussions regarding the refugees. It also has the abi
Indigenous populations often bore the brunt of Christian settler colonization resulting in marginalization, assimilation, Christianization, and cultural elimination. Most perpetrators of colonial injustices go unpunished and wrongdoings unacknowledged, barring the possibility of genuine international and national reconciliation for indigenous peoples. Major settler colonizer states have dark colon
The genetic underpinnings of ecological adaptations, such as host-plant use in herbivorous insects, is a vital area of research in evolutionary biology because they reveal how phenotypic variation arises and the extent to which this can happen through parallel mechanisms. This study provides unique insights into the genomic basis and gene expression changes in Tephritis conura's adaptation to
