This research addresses the role of social capabilities over the growth trajectory of natural resource (NR) rich developing countries through a case study – an analytical narrative using data from various sources – of the Chilean experience since the early 1900s to the present. The paper adopts a novel framework, which identifies four distinct but interrelated dimensions of social capabilities: tr
As the world is becoming more digital, the use of data is rapidly increasing. To protect all EU citizens from privacy and data breaches, the regulations will become stricter. The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) will become effective on the 25th of May 2018. This will mean big structural changes for organizations, but it will also mean tougher requirements for gathering and maintaining pe
There were around one million apartments built in Sweden during 1965 to 1974 as part of the so called Swedish Million Programme, almost half of them concentrated in Stockholm, Gothenburg and Malmoe. These building are now considered unattractive. The need of renovation is urgent in many aspects -ventilation, windows, balconies, facades and sanitary pipe replacement. The total investment cost for t
Background/Problem Description: Creating innovative products and take them to the market is a struggle for many companies around the globe. At the Department of Security & Enterprise at Sony Mobile Communications in Lund it was believed that the innovation process could be enhanced if more focus would be put on pricing, adoption and timing. The belief at the department was that these three fac
The purpose of the study was to provide a foundation to understand the potential implications of performing digital acquisitions and its effects on digital capabilities for traditionally non-digital businesses. A two-way, time and entity, fixed regression model was adopted to investigate this relationship in the electric utility industry, between the years 2010-2021. The theoretical framework of
Sverige blev medlem i den Europeiska unionen 1995. En viktig del i samarbetet är upprättandet av den inre marknaden. EG-fördraget är garanten för att fri rörlighet för varor, tjänster, kapital och personer ska vara möjlig mellan medlemsstaterna. Några hinder för den fria rörligheten får inte förekomma på dessa områden. EG-domstolen ser till att EG-fördragets bestämmelser efterlevs av medlemsstater
Examensarbetet fokuserar på pentatoniken, som på många sätt är utgångspunkten i afroamerikanskt gitarrspel. Underlaget till denna studie består av intervjuer med professionella musiker och lärare, samt en student. Utgångspunkt tas även i den egna förförståelsen, litteratur, videodokumentärer och CD-skivor. Resultatet av studien visar på stor samstämmighet hos de intervjuade gitarristerna i studienThis dissertation examines one of the basic elements of Afro-American guitar playing, namely pentatonics. The background material consists of interviews with professional guitar players as well as teachers and one student. Literature, recorded audio (CD:s), as well as video and audio documentaries, have also played an important role. The results show a consensus between the majority of the intervi
På vilka värderingar och grundläggande teorier baserar sig vårt rättsystem och vad är lagens bindande kraft? Hur kan dessa teorier förklara klyftan mellan moraliska regler och lagregler? Denna uppsats består av tre delar. De två första delarna [Kap. 2 och 3] är mer deskriptiva och består dels av ett kapitel om illegal fildelning, dels av en analys av skandinavisk rättsrealism, framför allt Vilhel
Det här examensarbetet grundar sig på en översättning av en lättläst barnbok, som i sin tur är baserad på en myt från Snorres Edda. Uppsatsen inleds med en källtextanalys, som i viss mån utgår från Lennart Hellspong och Per Ledins (1997) modell, och som grundas på Göte Klingbergs (1977) teorier om bearbetning och översättning av böcker för barn. Därefter följer en kortare diskussion om övervägande
Detta examensarbete rör direktiv 2006/46/EG och dess överensstämmelse med den europeiska konventionen om skydd för de mänskliga rättigheterna och de grundläggande friheterna. Examensarbetet använder Sverige som ett exempel, och analyserar främst lagen (2003:389) om elektronisk kommunikation och dess tillkortakommanden vad gäller brottsbekämpande myndigheters tillgång till lagrade trafikuppgifter. This thesis concerns Directive 2006/46/EC and its compliance with the European Convention on Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms. The thesis uses Sweden as an example, and mainly analyses the shortcomings in Swedish legislation on how traffic data may be accessed by law enforcement authorities, finding that the regulations under the Swedish Electronic Communications Act breaches Article 8 and 13
This thesis poses structural and behavioural competition problems in digital markets in terms of core platforms services provided by the gatekeepers under the proposed Digital Markets Act by the European Commission, where such problems are the most evident. This thesis analyses whether existing competition and more sector-specific legal tools are functional to address these problems. Traditional l
Examining the relation between Swedish households’ debt, property price and interest rates are important when forming monetary policy implications. Several studies have examined the driving factors of household debt and property price, however the results are inconclusive. This thesis differs from previous research as it includes the variable interest to income ratio, instead of debt ratio, as the
Bumblebees and other pollinators are important contributors to the ecosystem service of pollination of wild plants and crops. As in many pollinating insects, their abundance and diversity have declined in recent years, due to loss of natural habitats and fragmentation associated with urbanization and agricultural intensification. However, in urban areas, green space management beneficial to pollin
The present thesis explores the requirement of the waiting period to grant family reunification to Third Country Nationals from the perspective of human rights law. It examines how this requirement, which currently forms a significant part of immigration policies within European member states, may impact TCNs' Right to family life under the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) and EU
Access to water is taken for granted in water abundant countries like Sweden, but safe water supply is increasingly threatened by droughts. This thesis analyses how the Swedish water sector responded to the unprecedented drought in 2018, by analysing water security discourse through the framework “What’s the problem represented to be?”. It explores implications of the drought on water policy and h
The recent advent of 3DSG in the computer vision domain has brought powerful high-level representations of 3D environments. These representations strive to mimic human perception and facilitate the extraction of meaningful insight from visual data. This research has led to framework like Hydra, which creates a real-time, persistent spatial perception system that creates a complete 3D map of their
The objective of this report is twofold: to optimise the extraction method of lignin from spruce altering a few process parameters and to investigate the use of lignin as a hydrophobic barrier in food applications. The process used was STEX (steam explosion) pretreatment followed by enzymatic hydrolysis and MWL (milled wood lignin) extraction using a mixture of dioxane-water. The lignin was then c
Mitigation of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions is essential for us humans to curb climate change. Around a fifth of the anthropogenic GHG emissions stem from the construction sector. Much come from energy used for space and water heating within buildings, but an increasing proportion comes from the manufacturing of the building materials and is virtually embodied within buildings. This is called Emb
