The study is aimed to analyze the determinants of the effectiveness of SOPs in mass gatherings for containing COVID-19. The overall design of the study involves a literature review, data collection by field survey, structural modeling, and analysis. The study is built on the experts' opinion of a focus group (representing people who recently participated in and are responsible for mass gatherings)

In recent years, stricter regulations on emissions and higher demands for more fuel efficient vehicles have led to a greater focus on increasing the efficiency of the internal combustion engine. Nowadays, there is increasing interest in the recovery of waste heat from different engine sources such as the coolant and exhaust gases using, for example, a Rankine cycle. In diesel engines 15% to 30% of

Public procurement represents a very large share of most economies worldwide. Besides its direct purchasing power, public procurement has an enormous potential to become one of the most important mission-oriented policy instruments in the context of the Sustainable Development Goals. The paper argues that the key to achieve more innovations when pursuing public procurement is to describe problems

Regionaliseringsprosesser og politisk regionalisme har over lengre tid blitt sentrale temaer i akademiske debatter om nasjonalstaters re-skalering og den såkalte misnøyens geografi. Lignende dynamikker er også til stede i Norge, hvor regionreformen som ble gjennomført i 2020 møtte motstand langs sentrum-periferi-linjer. Slike fenomener stiller spørsmål om hvordan ulike aktører bidrar til regionersRegionalisation processes and regionalist contestation have been the subjects of long-standing debates on state rescaling and political geographies of discontent. Similar dynamics are also present in Norway, where a recent regional reform has faced opposition along centre-periphery lines. These phenomena raise questions about how different actors discursively enact the institutionalisation and/or

Background: High breast density is a risk factor for breast cancer. However, whether density is a prognostic factor is debatable. Also, tumor appearances are related to tumor characteristics. Here we investigate the relationship between breast cancer-specific survival and mammographic breast density and mammographic tumor appearances. Methods: Women in the Malmö Diet and Cancer study with invasive

One of the biggest challenges parties in multiparty governments face is making policies together and overcoming the risk of a policy stalemate. Scholars have devoted much attention to the study of how various institutions in cabinet and parliament help coalition parties with conflicting policy preferences to be efficient in the policy-making process. Coalition agreements are one of many instrument

Legislative efforts for renewables-based energy decarbonisation hinge upon the support and commitment from different stakeholders holding often conflicting positions regarding disruptive processes of socio-technical transformation. However, the evolving acceptance of market actors on the policy-driven promotion of renewables over time remains under-scrutinised. Simultaneously, despite growing atte

In common discourse, economic activities run by profit-oriented managers and entrepreneurs are considered to be at the root of social and ecological crisis and hence, hamper sustainable development. With this perspective, government, policymaking institutions, and civil societies take the center stage in shaping a sustainability-oriented industry by using the tools of command and control to curb t

What is degrowth and what are its implications for political economy? Divided in three parts, this dissertation explores the why, what, and how of degrowth.The first part (Of growth and limits) studies the nature, causes, and consequences of economic growth. Chapter 1: Understanding economic growth answers a series of questions about the nature of economic growth: What is it exactly that grows? By

The relationship between human rights and Islam has for a long time been a topic discussed among Muslim theologians and intellectuals. There are those who claim that Islam and human rights are by nature in conflict, then there are those who instead claim that there is no opposition between the two. The purpose of this thesis has been to study the thoughts on the correlation between Islam and human

I media flödar rubriker om att våldtäktsmän frias för att de begått våldtäkter i sömnen. Sexsomni är en diagnos, kring vars existens det råder konsensus i forskningssamhället. Enligt gällande rätt kan en person som begår brott i sovande tillstånd inte tillskrivas ansvar. En juridiskt tänkvärd fråga är när invändningen framstår som tillräckligt rimlig för att åklagaren inte ska anses ha uppfyllt beRecently, several alleged sexual offenders have pleaded innocence by reason of sleep sex. Although the acquittals appear offensive on behalf of the victims, sexsomnia is a sleep disorder recognized by the scientific community. Since the perpetrator lacks awareness during sleep, he cannot be held liable for committing a crime during an episode. A legal issue, however, is what makes the objection ra

Den 4 maj 2021 publicerades betänkandet Ett förbud mot rasistiska organisationer (SOU 2021:27) med ett lagförslag om kriminalisering av rasistiska organisationer. Frågan om att införa ett sådant förbud i Sverige har varit återkommande sedan FN:s internationella konvention om avskaffandet av alla former av rasdiskriminering ratificerades på 1970-talet. Av konventionen följer en förpliktelse att förOn 4 May 2021 the report Ett förbud mot rasistiska organisationer (SOU 2021:27) was published, presenting a bill on criminalising racist organisations. The issue of prohibiting such organisations has been recurrent in Sweden since the ratification of the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination in the 1970s. The UN convention requires the state parties to p

I denna uppsats har jag genom att använda en rättsdogmatisk metod försökt uppnå uppsatsens syfte: Att undersöka varför den svenska lagstiftaren inte infört ett rekvisit om bristande samtycke i den svenska lagstiftningen. Syftet är också at utreda förhållandet mellan den så kallade Bulgariendomen och den nuvarande svenska våldtäktslagstiftningen. Från 1864 års strafflag till idag har våldtäktsbrottIn this thesis I have used the legal dogmatic method to achieve the purpose of the thesis: To examine why the Swedish legislation has not adopted a rape legislation based on consent. The purpose is also to examine the relationship between the Bulgarian case and Swedish rape legislation. Since the year of 1864 rape legislation has been expanded to cover a greater scope of application. Rape within m

Med humanitär intervention avses i den här uppsatsen den användning av våld eller hot om våld från en stat som riktar sig mot en annan stat i syfte att där förebygga eller avsluta vidsträckta och grava kränkningar av fundamentala mänskliga rättigheter. Syftet med uppsatsen är att utreda huruvida ett sådant ingrepp av en stat är förenligt med FN-stadgan, praxis samt grundläggande principer för den This thesis concerns the question whether or not humanitarian intervention is a legal measure that is in accordance with the Charter of the United Nations. The definition of humanitarian intervention used in the report focuses on situations where unauthorized forcible interventions are initiated in order to terminate grave and imminent violations of fundamental human rights. The purpose of this es

Developing wind farms is a long and costly task. Assessing the potential of a site is a major part of the development of a wind project. Reanalysis, that are modelling of the wind speed made from scattered wind data across the world (from satellites, weather stations for example), can help to fulfill this step as they are improving their accuracy with each new release. Among them is EMD-WRF, a rea

I den exklusiva ekonomiska zonen har kuststaten suveräna rättigheter att utforska, exploatera, bevara och hantera de naturliga resurserna, levande eller icke-levande. Detta stadgas i de Förenta Nationernas Havsrättskonvention. I den exklusiva ekonomiska zonen har även andra stater vissa friheter, som typiskt sett åtnjuts på de fria haven, där ingen stat har jurisdiktion bortsett från flaggstaten oIn the exclusive economic zone a coastal State enjoys the sovereign rights to explore, exploit, conserve and manage the natural resources, whether living or non-living. That is provided by the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea. Also in the exclusive economic zone other states enjoy freedoms typically known for the high seas, were no state has jurisdiction apart from the flag State of

Uppsatsen behandlar vilka möjligheter avtalsparter i en företagsöverlåtelse, där friskrivningsklausuler används i stor utsträckning, har att friskriva sig från ansvar enligt köplagen. Utgångspunkten är den kritik som framförts mot HDs praxis från NJA 2016 s. 237 (Lindorffmålet), där en friskrivningsklausul underkändes trots att utformningen är mycket lik en klausul som godkändes i NJA 1975 s. 545This essay examines which possibilities contracting parties in a corporate acquisition have of using disclaimer clauses to regulate responsibilities in regards to the Swedish Sale of Goods Act. Starting point is the criticism directed towards the precedent set in NJA 2016 s. 237 (the Lindorff case) by the Swedish Supreme Court, which disapproved a disclaimer clause despite its similarity to a cla
