Intresset för svenska modeprodukter ökar både i Sverige och utomlands. Under 2011 omsatte svensk modeindustri 206 miljarder kronor.

In the year of 2000 the world leaders signed on the Millennium Development Goals, which is eight measurable and time-bound targets to reduce world poverty and promote human rights. In order to achieve these sets of goals by 2015 a lot of foreign aid is being given. The approach towards aid and the MDGs are being criticised by William Easterly. He claims that this approach, which he calls planners

China’s economic development has made a remarkable achievement over the past three decades. However, compared with other developed economies, it still mainly relies on coal resources as its primary energy. As country’s leading coal resources producer, Shanxi is now in an awkward position. A possible explanation is this region suffering “Resource Curse”: that the abundant resources did not bring ra

Relationen mellan bytesdjur och rovdjur i forntida ekosystem kan rekonstrueras med hjälp av olika fossil som t.ex. kololiter, det vill säga förstenat mag- och tarminnehåll. Mosasaurier (familjen Mosasauridae) är en grupp marina ödlor med världsvid utbredning under sen krittid. De var generellt opportunistiska i sina födoval, men några arter som specialiserat sig på skalförsedda djur förekommer ockRelationships between prey and predator in ancient ecosystems can be reconstructed by interpreting fossil remains such as kololites (fossilized stomach and intestinal contents). They function as a direct evidence of food ingested and thus provide insights into the diet and digestive system of extinct animals. Mosasaurs (family Mosasauridae) are a cosmopolitan group of extinct marine lizards that e

The aim of this thesis is to develop a model which simulates the dynamic atmosphere as well as the implementation of this model with Matlab/Simulink. The dynamic atmosphere contains the characteristics of wind, turbulence, wind gusts and wind shear, which is integrated in a high fidelity flight simulation model where the dynamics of an aircraft in the atmosphere will be simulated. After the descri

Since the creation of the Schengen cooperation the internal borders within the EU have disappeared and been replaced by a common external border. This has led to an increased coordination of migration policy. Scholars have discussed the EU approach to migration from different perspectives. In this thesis the ambition is to introduce a new theoretical framework in the study of EU immigration and
