Statehood and Climate Change-Induced Sea Level Rise

Den här uppsatsen undersöker sambandet mellan klimatförändringar, havsnivåhöjning och egenskapen att vara en stat (eng. statehood). Internationell rätt beträffande det juridiska subjektet stat utmanas och ifrågasätts på helt nya sätt i och med att tidigare fullkomligt otänkbara scenarier förefaller mer och mer sannolika, på grund av havsnivåhöjningar. Uppsatsens syfte är att undersöka om små ö-natThis thesis explores the relation between climate change-induced sea level rise and the concept of statehood. The law on statehood is challenged in unprecedented ways as previously unthinkable scenarios become increasingly plausible. The purpose of the thesis is to examine whether or not low-lying small island developing states will lose their statehood if they are completely submerged by the sea

Synthesis and Characterization of some Photo-CORM and Photosensitizers

Det är väl känt att kolmonoxid (CO) är en giftig och hälsofarlig gas som är luktlös, färglös och smaklös vilket gör den svår att detektera utan analytisk utrustning. Men under senaste åren så har forskning bevisat att i små doser så kan kolmonoxid användas som en terapeutisk substans för att lindra malaria, cancer, lung-, hjärt- och kärlsjukdomar men även reducera mängden inflammatoriska substanseIt is well known that Carbon monoxide is a toxic and hazardous gas, but during recent years it has been proven that using a controlled concentration, carbon monoxide can in fact be used as a therapeutic agent, and can contribute to decrease malaria, treat cardiovascular and lung diseases and potentially even treat cancer, among other things. The main problem in using carbon monoxide directly is th

Beskickningslokalens absoluta okränkbarhet – ett förlegat koncept? - En kritisk granskning av bestämmelserna kring ambassader och konsulats okränkbarhet i internationell rätt

Internationella diplomatiska relationer har länge formats av rätten och möjligheten för en sändandestat att upprätta diplomatisk verksamhet i en mottagandestat. Denna verksamhet föregår ofta på en ambassad, men kan också utföras på konsulat. Dessa diplomatiska, eller konsulära lokaler skyddas av en okränkbarhet som stipuleras av internationell lag. Okränkbarheten är absolut utformad och kan mot baInternational diplomacy has long been formed around the right and possibility for a sending state to establish a diplomatic mission on certain premises in another, receiving state. These premises oftentimes take the shape of an embassy, but can also be constituted by consulates. The diplomatic, or consular, premises are protected be an aura of inviolability stipulated in international law. The law

Trångboddhet i samhället

Trångboddhet har länge varit ett omtalat ämne inom svensk bostadspolitik. År 1946 gjordes de första statliga åtgärderna för att motverka trångboddhet, som en följd av de dåliga boendeförhållandena som rådde i Sverige. En av åtgärderna var att en trångboddhetsnorm formulerades, kallad trångboddhetsnorm 1 idag, i syfte att ge vägledning åt befintligt och nytt bostadsbestånd. Enligt trångboddhetsnormFor a long time crowded living has been a well-known topic in Swedish housing policy. In 1946, as a result of bad housing conditions in Sweden, the first actions were taken to fight against crowded living. One of the actions was establishing a housing standard, today known as the housing standard 1, which contained guidelines on how many people should live at the same residence. The purpose of est

Development of a Water Activity Control and Reaction Monitoring System for Acidolysis and Transesterification Reactions using Immobilized Lipases in a Rotating Bed Reactor

Controlled water activity in an enzymatic reaction can influence enzyme activity and productivity. A small layer of water around an enzyme gives it a required flexibility to catalyze reactions at a higher rate in contrast with the one that is dry (Adlercreutz, Dicko, Larsson, & Månsson, 2017). The hypothesis of this research project is that the product yield and productivity of acidolysis and
