Today, the public of society is considered to obsess of the topic of crime which daily news frequently distributes to the public by proclaiming shockingly headline regarding criminals and deviance.

In recent decades, a ‘Haitian Turn’ has emerged as both academic and public readerships in the anglophone sphere have been flooded by a wave of essays, articles, and monographs on the Haitian Revolution (1791–1804).

Denna uppsats behandlar frågan om hur det rättsliga ramverket för EUs militära operationer, med fokus på internationell humanitär rätt, kan tillämpas. Givet att EU snabbt utvecklat en militär kapacitet inom sin gemensamma säkerhets- och försvarspolitik genom verkställande av militära operationer utförda av EU medlemsstater och icke medlemsstater i tredje land, uppstår frågor om tillämplig lag och As the EU increasingly manifests its Common Security and Defence Policy by conducting military operations in third countries with troops put at its disposal from EU member states and non-member states, questions emerge with regards to the legal framework and the applicable law governing the conduct of EU military operations. This paper address how the legal framework, with focus on international h

For several years, Finland has dominated the PISA surveys with their good results and conclusions have been drawn about the reasons behind Finland’s success. The Swedish National Agency for Education (Skolverket) stated in a report from 2005 that the Finnish education politics tends to be tinged with a higher amount of consensus compared to Sweden and that this may be a reason for the Finnish high

This paper reconsiders how central banks get involved in the process of determining nominal variables such as market interest rates and inflation rates. It is argued that the traditional story deriving central bank power from its monopoly of issuing base money is flawed. That story - in its various guises - is based on the quantity equation. This equation, however, is only applicable in the hypoth

The term mission in its modern meaning was coined during the expansion of western Christianity which was in many ways entangled with colonialism. The western missionary movement’s modus operandi was adopted by missions from other backgrounds as well, when economic growth and growth of revivalist Christianity have coincided. When the outcome is new churches in economically underprivileged areas, th

The implementation of new data regulation has put pressure on organizations to govern their data. However, research on data governance typically focuses on the optimal design of rules and decisionmaking about data. In this paper, we argue that the significant work that goes into responding, when data use is challenged on the basis of regulation, is a legitimate subset of data governance practice.

National policies emphasize older people's right to autonomy, yet nursing home residents often have restricted opportunities to make decisions about everyday matters. We use qualitative interview data to analyze staff members' explanations of actions that conflict with both social norms and national policies. Two types of problematic actions are discussed: restrictions of elderly residents' influe

Migration can influence host–parasite dynamics in animals by increasing exposure to parasites, by reducing the energy available for immune defense, or by culling of infected individuals. These mechanisms have been demonstrated in several comparative analyses; however, few studies have investigated whether conspecific variation in migration distance may also be related to infection risk. Here, we a

If the life we find is sentient we will have moral obligations to that life.

The US law in this field requires the boards to actively participate in any bid offers and grants these boards
