Effective tax systems play a key role in self-sustained economic growth. Where foreign aid can provide much needed funds for less developed countries, it may also increase aid dependency if the country does not simultaneously improve its taxing capacity. This thesis is empirically investigating the relationship of foreign aid and tax revenue mobilization in a panel of 53 African countries during 1
Denna studie undersökte hur vårdnadshavare till barn som genomgått gastric bypass-kirurgi som behandling för svår fetma förstått och upplevt operationsprocessen.

Bakgrund: I dagens moderna samhälle matas vi med information om ”andras” död, via nyheter, filmer, serier och böcker, men hur hanterar vi när döden kommer ”nära” och berör oss själva? Frågeställning: Hur uppfattar och talar nutidsmänniskan om döden? Metod: Studien är en kvalitativ studie med fenomenologiskt fokus. Jag använder mig av semistrukturerade intervjuer och urvalet är ett så kallat bek

Bakgrund: Våld i nära relationer är ett globalt problem för både samhället i stort och för jämställdheten. Våldet kan innebära psykiskt, fysiskt och sexuellt våld. Sjuksköterskans ansvar innefattas av att fråga om våldsutsatthet, trots detta undviker sjuksköterskor samtal om våld i nära relatio
Attenuation of the microwave signal used in the Global Positioning System (GPS) due to interaction with building structures complicates the task of accurate indoor positioning. For this reason, research on alternative approaches is being performed at universities and companies worldwide. The Global Indoor Navigation (GIN) research project in Lund is one such initiative, where the main goal is to p
Modern software systems often utilize a distributed architecture, which uses the network as the communication channel. This results in the system being dependent on the network performance to behave as expected. The network performance varies, and network faults can occur, which may negatively affect the system. As a system maintainer, it is difficult to know if the problem lies in the service or
Over the last decade, the number of electric vehicles (EVs) on the world's roads has rapidly increased. Optimization of power consumption in electric powertrains will, therefore, lead to reduced energy usage in the road transport sector. EPOS, is a research project that aims to optimize EV powertrains, with the objectives to minimize cost and power consumption. As a part of the EPOS project, t
Bakgrund: Diabetes typ 2 är en långvarig fysisk sjukdom och beskrivs vara en av de ledande dödsorsakerna i världen. Det är därför viktigt att personer med diabetes typ 2 har en god glykemisk kontroll och ett hälsosamt levnadssätt. Med hjälp av E-hälsa kan god hälsa uppnås både kostnadseffektivt och flexibelt. Syfte: Syftet var att via en litteraturstudie beskriva hur patienter med diabetes typ 2 u
En allt mer åldrande befolkning och ett större fokus på att hålla sig frisk har lett till ett ökat intresse för naturbaserade produkter som ger lugnande och hälsofrämjande effekter som lätt kan inkorporeras i människors vardag. En molekyl som är intressant för sådana applikationer är avenantramider (AVN): en havrebaserad förening som har uppvisat antioxidativ kapacitet och anti-klåda, antiinflammaAs populations grow older and more focus is put on feeling and looking healthy, interest has grown in nature-based products providing soothing, replenishing, and health beneficial effects that can easily be incorporated into people’s everyday lives. A compound interesting for such applications is avenanthramides (AVN): an oat-based compound that has been shown to exhibit antioxidant capacity and a
I denna studie intervjuar jag elever som går sitt tredje år på ett estet/musik-program på gymnasiet. Jag vill få en inblick i deras syn på gehörs- och musiklära-undervisning, mer specifikt om de anser att det finns en överrepresentation av klaviaturen i undervisningen. Eleverna ger sin syn på om de anser att undervisningens upplägg funkar för dem personligen, om den gynnar en viss typ av instrumenI will in this research investigate third year high school students view on music theory education, more specific whether the students feel there is an existing overrepresentation of the clavier in the music theory education or not. The students give their view on whether the education works for them, and if they think the lesson structure benefits a specific group of instrumentalists. They also g
The legal rule gross violation of women’s integrity is structured in such a way that it firstly gets it’s content through the application, and secondly it opens up for a subjective assessment which can provide scope for a standard assessment of the woman in a specific case. This study aims to examine, from a legal realist perspective, how the court frames the offence and portrays the female victim
A large part of the greenhouse gas emissions and energy use comes from the construction industry. This thesis addresses some of the environmental and energy challenges the construction industry faces regarding renovating buildings. The examined building is Trelleborg Energi´s headquarters. Programs such as IDA ICE, Espoo, Renobuild and Miljöbyggnad 3.1 have been used to review and obtain results.
