This thesis examines the phenomena of third-party enforcement in public international law, in a historical as well as in a contemporary perspective. To that end, it traces the role of such enforcement measures from the past into the present. It also studies the potential discrepancies between current unilateral sanctions and the recent changes experienced by international law at large. Two legal m
Uppsatsen undersöker den internationella straffrättens förväntningar på ansvarighållandet av företagsledare på individnivå. Vidare utreds huruvida nationell rätt, här svensk rätt i jämförelse med tysk, uppfyller de krav och förväntningar som den internationella straffrätten ställer på nationell reglering. Dessutom syftar uppsatsen till att sätta svensk reglering av medverkansansvar för företagsledThe thesis investigates the expectations of international criminal law on the prosecution of corporate leaders on an international and domestic level for international crimes based on the sources, purposes, and principles guiding international criminal law. Also, this thesis examines whether domestic law, here Swedish, is compliant with the obligations and expectations presented by international c
Syftet med denna studien var att undersöka hur kommunikation som sägs vara icke-stereotypisk framställer genus och utmanar eller reproducerar traditionella stereotyper i reklam. För att studera detta fenomen valdes det svenska företaget Estrid ut, som säger sig kommunicera till alla människor. Genom att studera detta fenomen har studien bidragit med kunskap kring hur visuell kommunikation kan bådeThis paper aimed to investigate how advertising stereotypes can be challenged or reproduced and how gender is performed, in the context of an allegedly non-stereotypical company. In order to investigate this matter, we conducted a multimodal social semiotic analysis of the Swedish company Estrid, whose razor blades are communicated to all humans. By analyzing various semiotic resources, the paper
Generally regarded as a sustainable country, Costa Rica faces the future challenge of maintaining their renewable energy performance amidst climate change impacts and the need to integrate intermittent renewables. This thesis explores the opportunities and barriers for Costa Rica to achieve 100% renewable electricity while maintaining energy security, despite its developing nation status. Through
This study deals with the issue of how music can affect the religious experience of people who sing in choirs in the Church of Sweden. It is established that music plays a great importance in people’s every-day lives, and that it has various effects on us, for instance how it can soothe a person who is agitated or the way it can induce fright, compassion, anger or happiness. Music occupies a large
The academic interest in remote work has drastically increased over recent years, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic. Existing studies have proven that remote work has advantages and disadvantages for employers and employees. However, little is known about the influence of remote work and the relevant factors in the context of newcomers and their organizational socialization. Building on th
Denna masteruppstats ämnar utröna lönsamheten och de faktorer som påverkar lönsamheten vid ingåendet av en kort position i finansiella derivat på den nordiska elmarknaden samtidigt som motsvarade position anskaffas genom handel på Nord Pools day-ahead (DA) marknad och via så kallade pay-as-produce Power Purchase Agreements (PPA), samt genom tillämpandet av batterilager för att mitigera effekterna This master’s thesis aims to assess the profitability and the factors impacting the profitability of entering a short position in financial derivative contracts on the Nordic power market while procuring electricity through a pay-as-produced power purchase contract and on the day-ahead (DA) market, simultaneously the strategy utilizes a battery storage system to mitigate the effects of price spike
An important factor in preventing food waste is the ability to provide a product with a package according to its needs. The packaging material, in turn, needs to be recyclable in order to contribute to a circular use of materials rather than becoming waste. The aim of this thesis is to examine the difference between the current and future packaging material of coffee produced by Zoégas. The curren
Strong narrowband interference can significantly degrade the sensitivity of wideband receivers by driving front-end circuitry into nonlinear operation. This thesis presents the design, fabrication, and measurement of a 2 – 4.4 GHz electrically tunable varactor-based bandstop filter that can follow and block such narrowband interference before it causes problems in the receiver. It was developed us
Acoustophoresis enables label-free separation of particles and cells in microfluidic sys- tems, but systematic methods for analysing and comparing separation behaviour re- main limited. In this thesis, a workflow based on the mobility ratio was evaluated as an experimental framework for characterising acoustophoretic separations, using flow cytometry as the analytical tool. Separation experiments
Battery electric trucks and autonomous driving systems are each approaching commercial viability for long-haul freight. Current development treats these technologies as independent improvements to diesel operations. This thesis examines the operational and economic synergies that emerge when autonomy and Megawatt Charging System infrastructure are deployed together rather than in isolation. The a
Aortic valve stenosis is a common congenital heart defect among children. In affected patients, the normal tricuspid valve structure is malformed into a bicuspid valve structure due to a fusion at one commissure. A common treatment is transcatheter balloon valvuloplasty, where a balloon is inserted through the aortic valve and inflated to mechanically tear the fused region, restoring a tricuspid s
How can we understand Gällivare municipality as a sacrifice zone through local narratives of green transition? The transition to low-carbon economies in the wake of the European Green Deal drives increased demands for metals and minerals, renewable energy, biomass from forests – intensifying green extractivism. In Gällivare municipality, located in the rural north of Sweden and within the borders
Introduction Illicit maritime activities frequently involve "dark" vessels that disable or manipulate their Automatic Identification System (AIS) signals to evade detection. This study evaluates the effectiveness of Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) and Optical imagery for vessel detection using both “manual” and automated Deep Learning (DL) methods while integrating AIS data to validate, i
Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) circuits are critical in modern Wi-Fi receivers, playing a key role in power management and protecting the radio frequency (RF) front-end from saturation and potential damage. This thesis presents the design and evaluation of a novel rectifier circuit conceptualized for use in an RSSI system within an industry-standard 22nm CMOS node, specifically targetin
This essay explores the obligation to redeploy as a result of redundancy, conducting a comparative analysis of the redeployment processes in Sweden and Germany. The purpose of the essay is to examine what constitutes a reasonable redeployment in each country and identify differences and similarities in their respective legislation. This is achieved by using the legal dogmatic method, as the study
Cerebral palsy is an umbrella term for a group of neurological disorders, affecting motor function, movement and posture. Contractures, restrictions in the range of motion of joints, are a common problem affecting people living with cerebral palsy. In the present thesis, the effect of having a contracture on one knee, on the hazard for developing a contracture on the other knee, is explored. This
Fermentation has played a vital role in human history, offering solutions for food preservation, culinary diversity, and the creation of diverse and flavorful foods and beverages. Its importance continues today, both in traditional practices and in modern industrial applications. This report outlines the outcomes of an investigation into and the optimization of the solid-state fermentation proces
