Sent i oktober 2012 så orsakade orkanen Sandy stor skada på de Karibiska öarna men senare även i USA, New Jersey, då som ett extratropiskt system. Vädersystemet var annorlunda på många vis jämfört med en "normal" orkan med avseende på dess bana, avsaknaden av ett öga och dess enorma storlek. Dessa egenskaper berodde alla på den rådande cirkulationen i den övre troposfären. Det var växelvIn late October 2012 hurricane Sandy caused a lot of damage to the islands in the Caribbean Sea and later on (as an extratropical cyclone) to the United States; New Jersey. The system was different in many ways relative to “normal” hurricanes, e.g. its track, its lack of eye at times it was classified as a hurricane and its great size which all partly was due to the prevailing circulations in the

Studiens syfte var att undersöka om lekfullhet påverkar den upplevda mötestillfredställelsen, kreativiteten och produktiviteten i ett mötessammanhang. Det empiriska materialet utgjordes av en experimentell undersökning. Mötesdeltagarna (experimentgrupp n=66, kontrollgrupp n=16) fick, efter att ha deltagit en timme i ett pågående möte, fylla i en självskattningsenkät gällande den upplevda mötestillThe aim of this study was to investigate the effect of playfulness on perceived meeting satisfaction, creativity, and productivity in a meeting situation. Empirical data was collected with an experimental design. Participants (experimental group n=66, control group n=16) answered a survey on perceived meeting satisfaction, creativity and productivity after participating in a meeting for an hour. T

The DAC countries have for a long time been practically the only large donors of international aid. However, China has become increasingly influential the last decade. This study is aimed at investigating how aid from the DAC countries has changed when Chinese aid has increased. Aid aimed at promoting democracy, corruption, governance, and human rights is investigated since these sectors present

Intresset för svenska modeprodukter ökar både i Sverige och utomlands. Under 2011 omsatte svensk modeindustri 206 miljarder kronor. I takt med att intresset för svenskt mode ökar blir det alltmer lockande att plagiera framgångsrika företags plagg. Modeföretagen investerar mycket tid och stora summor på formgivningen av en produkt för att den ska bli så attraktiv och konkurrenskraftig som möjligt.Interest in Swedish fashion products is increasing in Sweden as well as abroad.

As the interest in Swedish fashion increases, it becomes increasingly appealing to plagiarize the designs of successful companies. Fashion companies invest much time and large sums of money in the designing of a product to make it as appealing and

From being primarily associated with the political climate of the United States, pluralism as a political mind-set with its focus on interest groups as important political entities has become increasingly descriptive of the European Union as well. Seeking to investigate the theoretical aspects of pluralism, the purpose of this essay is to analyse and discuss whether the European setting might have

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

Everfresh AB är Sveriges största frukt- och grönsaksdistributör med Coop som viktigaste kund. Företaget saknar idag ett dokumenterat miljöledningssystem, deras miljöaspekter är inte heller identifierade enligt kraven i miljöledningsstandarden ISO 14001. Mitt uppdrag är att identifiera dessa samt att göra en modell som kan användas vid värdering av miljöaspekterna. Arbetet grundas på ISO 14001-stanEverfresh AB is the largest fruit and vegetable distribution company in Sweden. Coop is their most important customer. Today the company is lacking a documented environmental management system, neither are their environmental aspects identified according the demands in the environmental standard of ISO 14001.

Denna uppsats behandlar förhållandet mellan demokrati och ekonomi. Som en konsekvens av den ekonomiska krisen under 1990-talet reformerades den ekonomiska politiken i Sverige, såväl finanspolitiken som penningpolitiken fick nya förutsättningar. Reformerna fick kritik för att i varierande grad vara avpolitiserande genom att de kringskar riksdagens möjligheter att påverka den ekonomiska politiken. I

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

This Bachelor Thesis in political science aims to analyse the influence of the traditional Swedish model of collective bargaining versus EU law over the political debate in Sweden.

A brief introduction to interest rate theory is given with emphasis on coupon bonds and yield curves. To introduce the con

Föreliggande uppsats kommer ta sin utgångspunkt från principen inom svensk miljörätt om att förorenaren betalar, Polluter Pays Principle. Miljöbalkens mål är att minimera den negativa effekt på människor och miljö som mänsklig verksamhet för med sig. För att nå detta mål uppställer miljöbalken olika preventiva och reparativa regler. I 10 kapitlet miljöbalken återfinns reparativa regler om vem som This thesis will be based on the Polluter Pays Principle within Swedish environmental law. The main objective of the Swedish Environmental Code, named Miljöbalken, is to minimize the negative effect that any “human activity” may cause humans and/or the environment. In order to fulfill its objective the Code provides for preventive as well as reparative rules. Chapter 10 of the Code sets out rules

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
