Wars have, basically, always existed. Hand in hand with all wars there is always some kind of justification. As our communities and wars develop so the criteria for a just war develop with them. The aim of this thesis is to examine how the development of the just war has occurred. This will be done through a choice of various historical events, in which I will analyze the discussion about the just

The thesis contributes to the debate of an emerging European strategic culture on the use of force. This is highly relevant in order to understand the future development of the military operations within the Common Security and Defence Policy (CSDP). In order to be able to analyse the motivations of the following operations: Concordia, EUFOR DR Congo and Atalanta, the research builds on the constr

Early warning systems are institutionalized hypothesis of an adversary’s behavior. Such systems are mere models of our bias perception, not the real world. At best they describe casual relationships and employ predictive validity within the cognitively constructed analogies of the systems constructor and operator. An analogy is an experience used to create a generalizing model of analysis where a

The present study concerns itself with an aspect of the migration-development debate that has heretofore been surprisingly neglected in academic research. While migrants’ transnational engagement have drawn much attention, the corresponding outreach undertaken by emigration states to actively ‘court’ the diaspora has until recently escaped notice. This study advances the theoretical and empirical

I uppsatsen undersöks om ett landskapsrum kan ses som ett socialt skapat rum med fokus på Kristianstads Vattenrike. Även uppfattningen om naturen och dess kulturella påverkan belyses. Detta görs genom kulturgeografen Tom Mels (1999) teorier och tolkningar av Henri Lefebvre och Katarina Saltzmans (2001) avhandling. Olika aktörers uppfattning av våtmarker i landskapet och vilka samhällsmotiv och pro

Syfte och frågeställning Denna uppsats ämnar synliggöra hur ungdomar i samtiden väljer att representera sig på den sociala webbsidan Facebook. Vår övergripande frågeställning lyder som följer: Använder ungdomar Facebook för att representera sig själva på specifikt vis? Vidare kommer vi belysa definierad frågeställning mer djupgående med följande följdfrågor: -Vad har ungdomar för uppfattning om of

En utgrävning gjordes nyligen i övergången mellan kambrium och ordovicium i alunskifferformationen utanför Södra Sandby i Skåne. Under sökandet efter konodonter i en kalkstensbädd från understa ordovicium upptäcktes mikroskopiska sfäruler 0,1-0,5 mm i diameter. Har dessa ett biologiskt ursprung eller har de bildats genom någon rent kemisk/geologisk process? Då det finns stora likheter med rapporteMicroscopic spherules, 0.1-0.5 mm in diameter, from the lowermost Ordovician Rhabdinopora flabelliforme parabola graptolite Zone of the Alum Shale Formation in Södra Sandby, Scania, southern Sweden, have been investigated. The specimens have been studied by light and scanning electron microscopy in order to assess their affin-ity, taphonomic history, and possible relation to metazoan embryos. Diff

The construction and operation of buildings is resource and energy intensive. As a sector buildings are responsible for roughly a quarter of all greenhouse gasses globally and represent a key intervention point in the fight against climate change. Energy and green building certification schemes are an example of tools that can be used in the design and construction high-performance buildings to he

The aim of this thesis is to show how risk is used in the construction and realization of alternative identities, and how this strategy is connected to world systemic processes. The focal point is on the relation between social movements and risk, which also motivates the use of the case studies, Occupy Wall Street and the drug movement. Their perceived risks and risk taking behaviors will be stud

I Kalkheia, Kristiansand, södra Norge går ett marmorstråk där kalk har brutits från 1826 till 1915. Marmorns mäktighet varierar från 0.5 till 5 meter och stråket kan följas ungefär 700 meter. Området består av amfibolitisk gnejs, granitisk gnejs, marmor och pegmatit. Gnejsen och marmorn har varit horisontella lager som har veckats till en synklinal som lutar mot söder. Denna synklinal är ett parasAt Kalkheia, Kristiansand, southern Norway, a marble layer was mined from 1826 to 1915. The thickness of the marble varies from 0.5 to 5 metres and the layer can be followed for 700 metres. The area consists of amphibolitic gneiss, granitic gneiss, marble and pegmatites. The gneiss and the marble have originally been horizontal layers, later folded to a synclinal dipping 181,18. The synclinal is a

Minskning av resultatet i svenska bolag genom koncerninterna upplåningar är ett relativt enkelt skatteplaneringsförfarande som syftar till att reducera de totala skattekostnaderna i en internationell koncern. Förfarandet går generellt till så att ett svenskt bolag tar upp ett lån från ett annat bolag inom koncernen etablerat i ett lågskatteland. Räntan som löper på lånet dras som en kostnad i det Reduction of the result in Swedish companies through intercompany bor-rowings is a relatively simple tax planning procedure aimed to reduce the fiscal costs in an international corporate group. The procedure is generally composed of a Swedish company raising a loan from another company within the group established in a low-tax country. The interest on the loan is deductible in the Swedish company,

Through time a woman’s right to abortion has been an emotionally and morally issue all over the world. The ethical complexity of abortion questions affects individual, political, cultural and religious levels in communities. The purpose of this study was to achieve a deeper understanding of abortion contexts, and compare how abortion context appears in the Swedish and Kenyan communities from Kenya

There is a lot of discussions going on about employability, both in political propositions and educational policies. In some parts of the academic literature about this policy concept, some qualms have arisen about the excluding and unidirectional ways in which the representation of the concept is usually made. In the light of these misgivings, this study is conducted at the practical level of edu

Departing from the question of how the EU self-image and role conception have been constructed in 1999-2009, this study locates the analysis of the EU as a foreign policy (FP) actor within the constructivist framework of role theory combined with a discursive approach. Guided by the central assumption that identity and role conception can be analysed by studying language in the form of discourse,

"It´s difficult, there is a big grey zone”. A qualitative study of preschool teachers’ thoughts on the obligation to report There are several professionals in Sweden who are obligated by law to report when they suspect a possible case of a child being maltreated. The aim of this study was to capture preschool teachers’ thoughts on what that obligation means. How does it work in the field? D

Syftet med denna studie var att jämföra självskattade beteendemönster hos yrkesverksamma människor med lägre respektive högre grad av självskattat psykiskt välbefinnande. Utgångspunkten var holistisk där flera dimensioner togs i beaktning för att se huruvida det fanns gemensamma beteendemönster vad gäller arbete, tillgänglighet, återhämtning, kost och fysisk aktivitet. Studien har en kvantitativ a

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Tiden mellan 33,9–5,3 miljoner år sedan är indelad i perioderna Oligocen och Miocen. Denna tid karaktäriseras av ett oscillerande klimat som var knutet till de primära så kallade Milankovitchcyklerna – excentricitet hos Jordens bana kring solen, jordaxelns lutning och dess precession – men magnituden hos oscillationerna var mycket varierande. Dinoflagellater äThe Oligocene and Miocene are characterized by a number of climate oscillations, following the primary Milankovitch cycles but varying in magnitude. Dinoflagellates are sensitive environmental indicators as well as biostratigraphic markers, but their use as the former has mainly been restricted to higher latitudes. This palynological study is made on samples belonging to the Oligocene-Miocene inte
