This study assesses the impacts of the floods in early 2011 in the Northern Cape Province in South Africa and focuses especially on the small town Keimoes located on the major Orange River. During this period 33 municipalities in 7 out of the country’s 8 provinces were declared as disaster areas due to widespread flooding. In Keimoes and the Northern Cape Province the flood impacts were widespread
Although the debate has become less heated in the post-Cold War period, no conclusive evidence has been reached regarding the economic impact of military spending. The aim of this paper is to investigate the existence and magnitude of budgetary trade-offs between military spending and human capital spending in the MENA (Middle East and North-Africa) region. It is striking that the guns versus butt
Jag har undervisat i slagverk i många olika sammanhang. Bland annat under min tid vid Musikhögskolan i Malmö men även innan. Detta har gjort att jag har träffat väldigt många olika slagverkselever vid många olika skolor. Det är dock eleverna från en skola som enligt min uppfattning står ut från de övriga när det kommer till elevernas motivation och egna drivkraft. Det här gjorde mig väldigt nyfikeI have worked as a percussion teacher in many different contexts during my time as a student at the Malmö Academy of Music but before that as well. Because of this I have had the privilege of meeting many different students at many different schools. It is however the students from one particular school that stood out from the rest when it comes to the students' motivation. This made me very c
Sweden is often perceived as a multicultural welfare state and “the Swedish model” has been role model for other countries to follow. Whilst cultural and religious pluralism have been celebrated, the potential areas of conflicts that can occur in a multicultural society have been neglected. This may be challenging as we are confronted with situations where intolerance is expected to be met with to
These theoretical reflections addresses the question of how networks can contribute to opportunity development among transnational entrepreneurs and an understanding of how transnational entrepreneurs come to be embedded in existing networks operating their home, host or even global market. Transnational entrepreneurs considered as immigrant entrepreneurs who conduct border-crossing business activ
This study seeks to demonstrate the relationship between the clothing industry and human rights. The company H&M is examined as an example to clarify this. More specifically the study strives to determine how and whether the clothing industry affects human rights as well as what kind of social commitments companies are facing today due to increasing demands from various stakeholders. The purpo
The purpose with this report is to find out whether it is a good idea or not to build a railway test center in Ankara, Turkey.
Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning Nanotrådar- små, men med stora möjligheter Nanovetenskap anses ofta vara vägen till framtidens teknologi inom bland annat elektronik. Även om endast en liten del av fysikens alla aspekter är involverade inom området så finns det likväl en myriad av olika forskningsområden som alla kan klassas som nanoteknologi. Exempel på dessa är katalysatorer, kvantprickar menHighly structured polytypic InAs III-V semiconductor nanowires with an axial stacking of wurtzite (WZ) and zincblende (ZB) segments were studied using scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy (STM/S). The periodic changes in the axial direction of the crystal structure were achieved by precisely tuning the growth parameters, and no unwanted doping gradient was required. All low index facets
The primary concern of this study is to examine the factors behind the debate around the face veil in France. This raises two questions on how the arguments can legally be justified and which affect the law has in a multicultural society like France. This study represents an investigation into the problem of the ban on the face veil in France 2011, but also an attempt to test the logic of the argu
The aim of this essay is to acquire enhanced knowledge about the views and the strategies that Sikh immigrants of the first generation, who reside in the province of Skåne in Sweden, are using for becoming integrated into the Swedish society. From my own participation in some of the activities that have been organized by the Sikh community in Malmö I became interested in issues regarding integrati
Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning Guldklustrar- storleken har betydelse Utveckling och framsteg inom material- och ytfysik har blivit allt viktigare för det moderna samhället. Snabbare och mindre datorer, bättre och effektivare ljuskällor, renare men effektivare energiprodktion. Listan på applikationer är lång och kraven många och hårda. Således har det blivit allt viktigare att förstå materialThe chemical properties of 0.2-1 ML Au clusters have been studied using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). By exposing the clusters to CO, at 10^-7 mbar, in periods of two minutes, while systematically increasing the cluster size, a correlation between cluster size and CO adsorption was found. Furthermore, the most probable adsorption sites on the Au cluster were identified. The clusters were
Sverige har en lång historia av deltagande i fredsbevarande operationer, där Afghanistan utgör den senaste i en lång rad insatser. Kriget i Afghanistan har i sig varit kontroversiellt eftersom det i många avseenden funnits anledning att ifrågasätta dess legitimitet. Denna uppsats problematiserar idealistiska och realpolitiska sätt att legitimera konflikter och sätter detta i perspektiv till konfli
This thesis addresses many issues surrounding the simple question: why have trams? With city populations exponentially growing alongside concerns over the environment and the economy, tramways have become a resurging form of sustainable transportation for municipalities. Once an endangered transportation mode, torn up and scrapped to make room for the age of cars, tramways are phoenix artifacts of
European Spallation Source (ESS) is a linear particle accelerator planned to be built in Lund, Sweden. There is a need to control the electric field in the cavities in the particle accelerator, according to given specifications of the field. The aim of this thesis is to compare a traditional PI controller to an MPC controller, to see if there is any difference in the performance that can be achiev
This research aims to explore the Value Proposition concept in the French newspaper industry before and after the popularity of the Internet. We conclude that the Value Proposition of the French newspaper industry has changed after the rise of the Internet. The Value Proposition is becoming more interactive and the newspapers are acknowledging the consumer voice by adopting a more participative a
