The main controversy in international law the past decades has been the approach to a non-international conflict exposing civilians to threats of genocide or mass atrocities. One corner stone of international law is the protection of a state and its internal affairs, the principle of non-intervention; another one is the protection of human rights. During the 1990s, the two principles were seen as

This research will try to examine the strategy of FIDESZ government, the current government of Hungary, in acquiring political legitimacy. The thesis found that political legitimacy of Hungary has a pattern of relation between the regime and historical memory; this relation can be seen since the end of communist regime in 1989, which has been centred at the representations of historical memory to

The aim of the study was to examine the organization and capacity of an off-site center located in Varberg, Sweden. The off-site center is a place where evacuees can get help in case of a nuclear accident, and it is a part of the nuclear preparedness in Sweden. The capacity of the off-site centre was estimated using empirical data collection (experiments), hand calculations and computer simulation

Syftet med den här uppsatsen är att ur ett civilrättsligt perspektiv undersöka hur de svenska civilrättsliga reglerna skyddar någon som riskerar att utsättas för barn- och tvångsäktenskap, samt olika myndigheters agerande och förhållningssätt när de möter någon som befinner sig i riskzonen för påtvingade äktenskap. En stor del av de äktenskap som ingås mot någons vilja berör parter som bor i oliThe purpose of this paper is to examine from a civil law perspective how the Swedish legislation protect anyone at risk for child and forced marriages, as well as how various government agencies intervene and approach situations when they meet someone who is at risk of forced marriage. A large part of the marriage entered against someone's will affect parties who live in different countries.

Syfte: Syftet med denna uppsats är att utifrån ett etiskt konsumtionsperspektiv undersöka vad som driver valet att lämna in avlagda kläder till en klädproducent. Vi ämnar även undersöka hur konsumenter reflekterar och resonerar kring sin handling, och hur de rationaliserar sitt val i den mån de upplever handlingen som etiskt paradoxal. Metod: Med hjälp av semistrukturerade intervjuer har en expl

I inköpsfunktionen för indirekt material och tjänster finns, för fallstudieföretagen, en kategori som ofta benämns Professionella tjänster eller dylikt. I denna övergripande kategori är konsult- och bemanningstjänster ofta underkategorier. Gränsdragningen mellan konsulttjänsterna och bemanningstjänster har dock visat sig otydliga och problematiken verkar främst finnas för konsult- och bemanningstjIn the purchasing funktion of indirect materials and services there is, for the case study companies, a category often referred to as Professional Services. In this overall category consultancy and temporary labour services are subcategories. Drawing the line between consultancy and temporary labour services has been proved unclear and the problems seem to mainly concern IT services. A proposal on

I denna uppsats undersöks sju nyanlända flyktingars upplevelser av det etableringsprogram man som nyanländ flykting med uppehållstillstånd erbjuds delta i. De subjektiva upplevelserna belyses utifrån Axel Honneths erkännandeteori som menar att individer är beroende av att få olika former av erkännande för att kunna utveckla en positiv självbild och självrelation. Något som i sin tur bidrar till in

This master thesis evaluates a structured method presented by Nilsson et al. (2013) for development of fire scenarios for multifunctional buildings considering protection of functions as well as antagonistic exposures. The method is evaluated by implementing it practically on an existing multifunctional building. The master thesis also analyse exposures, both antagonistic and accidental, that can

This research departs from two domains within the research field of consumer culture theory (CCT), Consumer Identity Projects and Marketplace Cultures. The goal was to add insights to the field by investigating social distinction through exploration of a context that traditionally has been characterized as being democratic and folksy. This research will study speciality coffee consumers as they di

The objective of this study is to obtain knowledge about the important factors that affect people when evacuating by elevator from underground stations. The objective is also to contribute for future development of recommendations and research in the field. The study was carried out in the form of a questionnaire survey in Stockholm. Two groups were selected, the first consisting of randomly selec

The idea of a big push is one of the earliest theories in development economics and the original justification for foreign aid. The past 30 years have witnessed the publication of numerous studies on aid effectiveness with varying results. This thesis proceeds from the discussion regarding the relationship between aid, economic growth and poverty reduction. The big push hypothesis implies increase

Stjärnorna på himlen syns vara små eftersom de är avlägsna objekt, solar på enorma avstånd. Den närmaste stjärnan är Alfa Centauri på ett avstånd av 4,4 ljusår, cirka 41 miljon miljoner kilometer. Solen är den enda stjärna vars yta vi kan se i detalj medan andra stjärnor är så avlägsna att de inte ens i de största teleskopen syns som mer än små ljusa prickar. De skarpaste bilder som i dag erhållContext. Intensity interferometry was invented and used by R.Hanbury Brown and R.Q.Twiss in the 1960's to measure stellar angular diameters. Its main advantage over conventional interferometry is that it enables very long baselines and is insensitive to poor seeing. However, because it requires very large light collectors, it was never pursued further. The Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) is a

Bolagsskatten är en omdebatterad skatt. OECD har till och med kallat skatten för den farligaste skatten för företagens tillväxt. Sedan Sverige gick med i EU har den svenska bolagsskattesatsen halkat efter nytillkommna medlemsländer. Den europeiska trenden är tydligt för en sänkning av bolagskattesatsen och Sverige tappar i konkurrenskraft. Skattesänkningar har som mål att bredda skattebasen men saCorporation tax is a controversial tax. The OECD has even called the tax one of the most dangerous taxes for business growth. Since Sweden joined the EU, the Swedish corporate tax rate has been falling behind the rest of the EU members. The European trend is clearly for a reduction in corporate tax rate, and Sweden is losing competitiveness. Tax cuts aims to broaden the tax base but also in a glob

This study explores the contexts in which the conflict evolved and how history was perceived, narrated and used by institutions, communities and individuals who sought to influence public opinion and policymakers. The theoretical point of departure is the concept of collective memory, defined as the totality of discourses through which a society makes sense of itself, the present and the future th

Global migration of both skilled and unskilled persons from developing countries to developed countries is on the increase and to understand the underlying factors behind the increase, this research examines how migration theories like pull-push factors of migration, world system theory and Maslow’s hierarchy of need explain those factors that cause migration among Nigerian university workers. I r

The aim of this paper is to examine the impact of overweight and obesity on early retirement. Data is gathered from the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe (SHARE) database and on this data a linear probability model is applied, using both a Pooled Ordinary Least Squares (POLS) and a Fixed Effect (FE) strategy. In addition, separate regressions are run for current and lagged Body Mas

This master thesis is an attempt to investigate to what extent the Environmental Emergency Risk Index (EER Index), which was recently developed by the Joint UNEP/OCHA Environment Unit (JEU), fit field staff and expert perceptions of environmental emergency risk. The findings reveal that the EER Index does not coincide very well with the views of the experts and field staff and that there are some

Thesis reflects on the notion of photojournalism, media and communication processes in the era of Internet and redeveloped global cultural exchange opportunities. Subject of authenticity in the news coverage and digital manipulation of the image contents – used under various conditions depending on intention – become the current social problem that it’s forced routinely and which demands a broader

During the last years, the development within the building industry has focused more and more on BIM, Building Information Modelling. The trade has under a long time been criticised for its lack of effectiveness and quality where BIM has seemed as the solution by many people. The standardisation of the work process hasn’t yet been done within Sweden which by now has led to us being far behind the

This study works on collective identity formation in the Gezi movement by favoring of visual frame analysis, surveys and social media resources. Seeking to understand the linkage among collective identity and the reasons of participation in a demonstration and visual art, I designed a survey on 100 people who involved or supported the Gezi resistance. Then, a visual frame analysis was conducted in
