The child soldier issue is complex in many different ways. Taking into account the different ideas of childhood, the concept of human rights in general and child rights in specific the question about the child soldier and its rights appears to be far from easy to understand. In this thesis I will try to illustrate the complexity by comparing relevant international law applicable to the child sold

Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka om Sverige har uppfyllt sina internationella åtaganden gällande efterlevnaden av principen om non-refoulement i svensk migrationsrätt. I generella termer innebär principen om non-refoulement ett verkställighetshinder mot avvisning och utvisning då personen i fråga riskerar att utsättas för tortyr och förföljelse i det mottagande landet. Denna princip kommeThe purpose of this thesis is to assess whether Sweden has fulfilled its obligation to implement the principle of non-refoulement in Swedish migration law. The principle of non-refoulement, in general terms, implies an impediment for execution that obliges a state not to permit removal of a person to a county where he or she is at risk of being subjected to torture or persecution. This principle i

”I thought you would get a Swedish friend” – A qualitative study about a mentorship project called ”Girl to girl”. [Translated title] During the last couple of years, integration has become a central part of Swedish society. Studies show two ways to look at the integration process. One refers to the immigrants’ responsibility to adapt to the majority population. The other approach argues that int

The secularization of formerly Christian countries in Europe and the immigration to these countries has led to a great religious diversity. This new situation has made the question about religious freedom a highly debated topic. It concerns that of what freedom of religion should consist of, i.e. whose and what religious freedom should prevail? According to Maria Klasson Sundin, clergyman and PhD

Uppsatsen undersöker om det är möjligt att erhålla riskjusterad överavkastning på sex olika börsindex med hjälp av teknisk analys. Som mått på riskjusterad avkastning används Sharpekvoten och som tekniska indikatorer används glidande medelvärden samt ett lågpassfilter. Som jämförelseavkastning till den tekniska analysen väljs en ”buy-and-hold”-strategi. Ett testverktyg programmeras i VBA för att g

A large number of studies have shown that macroeconomic variables can explain co-movements in stock market returns in developed markets. The purpose of this paper is to investigate whether this relation also holds in China’s two stock markets. By doing a heteroscedastic cointegration analysis, the long run relation is investigated. The results show that it is difficult to determine if a cointegrat

Using a volume filter on daily index and stock price data the daily return has been researched. The explanatory variables used in the study are the 1 M T-Bill, the term spread - 10 Y Treasury bond versus a 3 M T-Bill -, and the oil price. The results revealed that accounting for trade volume is an important part in explaining the return of a stock or index. The volume activity provides additional

Numerous past studies investigating the performance of hedge funds suffer from two distinct problems: unreliable and biased return data inherent in virtually all databases and the use of static asset-pricing models. Using “indexes of indexes” for our hedge fund returns, both free of biases and highly representative, we investigate which risk factors investors are exposed to and whether hedge fund

Psykiskt störda lagöverträdare har i alla tider särbehandlats straffrättsligt på ett eller annat sätt. I Sverige sker den särbehandlingen vid påföljdsbestämningen vilket innebär att en allvarligt psykiskt störd lagöverträdare inte ska dömas till fängelse om inte särskilda skäl föreligger. I detta hänseende är Sverige tämligen unikt, då det i de flesta andra stater, för straffansvar krävs, att gärnMentally disordered offenders have throughout history in law been treated differently than other offenders. In Sweden this special treatment occurs when appropriate criminal sanction is decided, which means that severely mentally disordered offenders should not be convicted to a prison sentence without special circumstances. Sweden is in this regard quite unique, because most other states require

Sveriges självbild som länge varit lyckligt befriad från svågerpolitik, maktmissbruk och pengar under bordet har under det senaste decenniet fått sig en törn. Stora svarta rubriker på löpsedlar har uppmärksammat oss på att korruption och mutor även förekommer i vårt trygga demokratiska samhälle. För att på ett effektivt sätt komma åt detta krävs ett fungerande regelverk, något som haltar då det koThe Swedish Bribery Legislation in use today was written in 1977 and is consequently neither completely modern nor crystal clear. There are no legal definitions on what constitutes a bribe or what is giving rise to corruption and the verdicts are instead made on a case by case basis. The Swedish Bribery Legislation has over the years received a lot of criticism as it is seen as unpredictable and d

The thesis is devoted to the analysis of the care chain between Italy and Ukraine, which is a highly feminised and multi-sided phenomenon. The focus is kept on such aspects as organisation of transnational welfare, transnational families and care drain in Ukraine. Pushed by the unstable socio-economic situation and necessity in Ukraine, Ukrainian women perform carework and domestic work in Italy a

This paper examines the impacts of Eurozone sovereign credit rating announcements by three leading rating agencies on exchange rates from January 1, 2009 to March 31, 2011. Firstly we report the mean and volatility of USD/EUR in response to Eurozone sovereign rating news. Secondly, thanks to the high integration in Europe, we extend our analysis to the movement of USD/SEK in order to see how non-E

The purpose of this study was to investigate and analyze images created about ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder) in Swedish newspapers, with a critical discourse analysis and to address the stigma that exists before and / or after the diagnose. We made a strategic choice by the selection of 21 articles from Swedish newspapers. The articles we selected were written by professionals wit

This bachelor’s thesis is based on interviews with male migrants from South Asia working as dishwashers in Copenhagen restaurants. Throughout the text it is illustrated how the structural conditions affect the dishwashers and what strategies they use to react upon the structures. It is described how the dishwashers perceive their jobs, how they are employed and valued by the employers, and how the

Fundamental human rights belong to everyone by virtue of humanity and any inequalities are inacceptable. Human rights do not distinguish human beings according to their economic welfare, geographic location or health status. Every person is entitled to enjoy human rights whereas every government is required to ensure adequate realization of these rights. Human rights should outline and guide state

Contemporary academic studies and reports from various organizations have highlighted the active role of women as migrants and remit
