The EU imposed targeted sanctions on Myanmar in 1996, which were later lifted in 2013. The sanctions were adopted because of the violation of human rights and the absence of democracy in the country. This study aims to examine the effects on Myanmar’s exports, due to the sanctions. The paper takes two approaches. First, it applies a gravity model to distinguish if the sanctions had an impact on th
This thesis aimed to capture a deeper understanding of the functions and roles of the long standing norms of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) characterized as the ASEAN Way codified in an ASEAN-led multilateral institution, the East Asia Summit (EAS). Based on a comparative case study between the US and China, and using a theoretical thematic analysis, this thesis addressed what
How does theatre function as a pedagogical tool in critical education?

The educational project is about issues of work and family life coherence, and through the lens of critica
Syfte: Studien ämnar öka förståelsen för kunskapsöverföring, närmare exakt överföring eller transformation av så kallad tyst kunskap till explicit kunskap. Metod: Studien är en kvalitativ fallstudie som antar ett hermeneutiskt angreppssätt med ett tolkande perspektiv. Metoden kan närmast beskrivas som abduktiv med starka induktiva inslag. Empirin är insamlad genom semistrukturerade intervjuer. T
With behavioural and electrophysiological data from 24 participants, the goal of the present study was to advance the understanding of memory interference and how it is resolved by cognitive control of memory. Previous work has shown that a retrieval cue can be processed in a goal-directed manner and that beforehand knowing what to expect further can facilitate the processing and thereby reduce in
The present thesis investigates motion-emotion metaphors in Estonian and compares them cross-linguistically with Finnish, English and Swedish. Motion-emotion metaphors (e.g. I fell into depression) are expression types that denote affective responses, which imply conspicuous bodily changes, using motion verbs and other linguistic expressions that typically express actual motion. Metaphor has been
Syftet med studien var att undersöka arbetande föräldrars work family conflict (WFC) och arbetstillfredsställelse, genom att utreda huruvida deltagarnas kön, antalet barn i hushållet,barnens ålder och arbetstimmar i veckan har en inverkan. Studien bestod av 133 deltagare varav 90 kvinnor och 42 män, samtliga arbetande föräldrar. Webbenkäten är baserad på två enkäter; Brayfield och Rothes (1951) so
This master thesis aims to examine the effect of isoenergetic but different composed breakfasts on satiety and satiation in a Swedish context. Four isoenergetic breakfasts were composed: egg & bread, egg & fruits, yoghurt & müsli and jam & bread. The breakfasts were composed pairwise where the first two consisted of the same distribution of glycemic carbohydrates, fiber, protein an
The aim of this study was to examine the Swedish prostitution law that makes it illegal to buy sexual services but legal to sell them. More specifically the aim was to find out the perceptions and attitudes of social workers in regards to the Sex Purchase Act which was enacted in 1999 and was first of its kind in the world. We carried out qualitative interviews in three larger Swedish municipaliti
This paper focuses on the use of relative clauses, specifically internally headed relative clauses in Japanese. Previous research on different types of relative clauses occurring in Japanese is also presented. The main purpose of the thesis is to give an up to date analysis of the understanding of relative clauses. A survey was carried out to further research at what point sentences with relative
Buildings are getting taller due to increased urbanisation and densification of cities. More advanced construction methods and the desire to construct impressive buildings is also supporting the trend. Due to their inherent slenderness resulting in low eigenfrequencies, these buildings are susceptible to wind-induced vibrations which can be highly disturbing for occupants. Already barely perceivab
The objective of this thesis is to provide answers to how a method can be designed to gain better knowledge of how collaboration looks between different critical societal activities in a preparing and preventive stage related to the management of transboundary risks. The designed method consists of two parts; a technique for data acquisition, and a method for data analysis. In order to evaluate th
The aim of this thesis is to examine if fiction books can be used as a support for young adults in families where one of the parents suffer from mental illness. I have used a qualitative method and have made a content analysis on five fiction books for young adults. The fiction books were found on a list of book recommendations published on Psykiatri Skåne’s webpage dedicated for relatives of peop
A hypertest-algorithm, the BUMPHUNTER, is introduced briefly and tested by probing events containing muons in 8 TeV datasets from the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN against a background spectrum created by selecting muons from different collisions. The hypertest looked for excesses of same sign di-muon pairs which could indicate the existence of a Majorana neutrino. The
Information är en värdefull tillgång, och att garantera dess säkerhet är en konstant utmaning för alla inblandade. Nuförtiden säljs det fler avancerade mobila enheter än datorer per år, men säkerheten i dessa enheter släpar efter jämfört med säkerheten som erbjuds för datoranvändare. Syftet med denna uppsats är att ta reda på hur medvetna användare är kring säkerhetsrisker som berör mobila enheter
The aim of our study was to examine how staff, working with unaccompanied refugee children experience their work and the children’s integration to the society. Many previous studies in the same field have often focused on the young refugees, how they perceive their situation and how they perceive the integration work. Our study is based on a qualitative research strategy and we used semi-structure
The purpose of this study is to examine how outreach workers create professional relationships with youngsters. The result was based on six professional outreach workers. The results were presented in the form of four individual interviews and one group interview. The theoretical framework of the study was the theory of communication and the theory of “the different levels of professional meetings
Trots det väldiga överflöd av forskning som finns om organisationsförändring är det idé att börja titta på förändring ur ett mer långsiktigt perspektiv. Detta mot bakgrund av den tidigare forskningen som konstaterar att omkring 70 procent av alla förändringsinitiativ som görs misslyckas. Därför är det väsentligt att förstå förändring och dess implementeringssvårigheter på en djupare dimension. Den
