Responsibility to protect, eller R2P, är en norm inom FN som uppstod som en reaktion på många av de inomstatliga konflikter som pågick världen över under 90-talet. FN:s misslyckande med att skydda de civila som drabbades av humanitära katastrofer visade på ett behov av förändring gällande möjligheten att ingripa i inomstatliga konflikter. 2001 utkom en rapport från den kommission, ICISS, som tilResponsibility to protect, or R2P, is a norm within the UN that emerged as a reaction towards the many intrastate conflicts that occurred around the world during the 90’s. The UN’s failure to protect civilians from humanitarian disasters displayed a need for change regarding the opportunity to intervene during these types of conflicts. In 2001 the commission, ICISS, founded under the authority of

Popular science summary Comparison of ectoparasite load on barnacle geese (Branta leucopsis) in arctic and temperate regions Some birds winter in warm regions, but breed in the arctic. This long migration takes up a lot of energy, which leaves scientists wonder why birds undertake this journey. One of the many hypotheses to explain it, is that there are fewer parasites in the arctic. Therefore,

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

Sverige har i över tjugo års tid, från såväl nationellt som internationellt håll, utstått omfattande kritik angående långa häktestider och en allt för liberal restriktionsanvändning. Vissa mindre förändringar har skett med tiden men de svenska problemen kvarstår i stort oförändrande än idag. I ett försök att åtgärda problemen tillsatte regeringen en utredning som presenterade sitt betänkande 2016,Sweden has during the last 20 years received severe criticism, both national and international, on the widespread use of remand imprisonment and a too liberal practice in its use of restriction. Some minor changes have been made to the legislation on the matter but the criticism remains in its major part unchanged. During 2015, the government made an effort to overcome this issue by appointing a p

What was once called science fiction has developed over the years to be one of the most strategic technologies of the 21st century – artificial intelligence (AI) is real. The rapid digitalization has opened new pathways in Swedish healthcare, by increasing productivity and the effectiveness of care delivery as well as helping more patients in receiving better care. Yet, when fully automated decisi

Sent i oktober 2012 så orsakade orkanen Sandy stor skada på de Karibiska öarna men senare även i USA, New Jersey, då som ett extratropiskt system. Vädersystemet var annorlunda på många vis jämfört med en "normal" orkan med avseende på dess bana, avsaknaden av ett öga och dess enorma storlek. Dessa egenskaper berodde alla på den rådande cirkulationen i den övre troposfären. Det var växelvIn late October 2012 hurricane Sandy caused a lot of damage to the islands in the Caribbean Sea and later on (as an extratropical cyclone) to the United States; New Jersey. The system was different in many ways relative to “normal” hurricanes, e.g. its track, its lack of eye at times it was classified as a hurricane and its great size which all partly was due to the prevailing circulations in the

The theoretical focus in this master is information retrieval (IR), and especially the part of IR that includes interactivity. This research is by some researchers called IIR. Our principal aim was to examine if search engines on the WWW are taking advantage of research results from IIR research. A way to do this is to look at the application of special features, in this case query expansion (QE)

The overall theme of the thesis is the examination of the relationship between globalization, culture and identity. The study is conducted in the City of Cluj (Romania) and the students at the University there. The problem of the thesis lies partly in the concurrent relations in the locality, partly in the cultural elements coming in from the outside. Both theoretically and empirically the thesis

This thesis investigates how urban experimentation is governed in the new development district in Sege park in Malmö. Together with with private developers and a local NGO the municipality test and experiment with solutions for how the sharing economy can contribute to reduce the future resident’s climate impact and living costs. By using the theoretical lens of governmentality this thesis focusse

Title: A quantitative Study of the distribution of information at Sweden’s needle exchange programs. [Translated title] The Swedish needle exchange program focuses on helping individuals who inject drugs to reduce the risk of illnesses and infections, by offering them clean injecting tools, get in touch with different authorities and organisations that can provide help and support to better their

Lagen (1915:218) om avtal och andra rättshandlingar på förmögenhetsrättens område, AvtL och Internationella köplagen eller United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods, CISG, innehåller båda bestämmelser om ingående av avtal som bygger på en anbud-acceptmodell. Även om båda regelverken har samma grundstruktur, skiljer de sig åt i några avseenden, särskilt ifråga om möLagen (1915:218) om avtal och andra rättshandlingar på förmögenhetsrättens område, AvtL, and the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods, CISG, both contain provisions on the conclusion of contracts based on an offer-acceptance model. Although both legal systems have the same basic structure, they differ in some aspects, especially regarding the possibility to re

‘The Nurse in Primary Health Care with Special Focus on Child Health Care’ The function of nurses in Swedish primary care involves health care and medical care for people of all ages, and in their health-promotion work there is a focus on child health care. Child health care in Sweden is mostly provided by nurses. The work encompasses all children from birth to school age; it is voluntary and fre

The closely related receptor tyrosine kinases c-Kit and Flt3 are mainly expressed in hematopoietic cells and are involved in driving cell proliferation and promoting survival in response to growth factor stimulation. Several gain-of-function mutations of both c-Kit and Flt3 have been found in malignancies like acute myeloid leukemia, gastrointestinal stroma tumors and small cell lung carcinomas, a

Alpha-synuclein (SNCA) protein aggregation plays a causal role in Parkinson's disease (PD). The SNCA protein modulates neurotransmission via the SNAP receptor (SNARE) complex assembly and presynaptic vesicle trafficking. The striatal presynaptic dopamine deficit is alleviated by treatment with levodopa (l-DOPA), but postsynaptic plastic changes induced by this treatment lead to a development of in

Bilateral Investment Treaties (BIT) are entered into by two state signatories wishing to promote, protect and liberalize investments. A BIT protects a private party, that is an investor having made an investment, by allowing for such a private party to address judicial recourse against a state signatory under the Washington Convention (the Convention). The Convention provides jurisdiction for the

Private equity is a relatively new and unexplored business in Sweden. The aim of our thesis is to explore the factors influencing the internationalization of Swedish private equity firms. Why do the firms chose to internationalize? To what degree are the firms internationalized? What have driven the firms to internationalize to the current extent? Furthermore we aim to map the structure of the int

The purpose of examining girls who are taken into charge according to the law (1990: 52) with special regulations concerning the care for young persons (LVU), their experiences of being at a locked investigation home. What we do is based on the following questions at issue: · How do the girls experience the time at the investigation home? · Do the girls feel involved and can influence the decision

Mervärdesskatt och Transfer Pricing är två av de stora områdena inom internationell skatterätt, då det förra är en indirekt skatt och baseras på det subjektiva priset och det senare området tillhör direkt beskattning och använder ett objektivt, fiktivt pris för beräkning kan de vid första anblick sakna anknytning. Det finns dock en risk att justeringar av det pris som använts för Transfer Pricing-Value added tax and Transfer Pricing are two of the major areas of international tax law, as the former one uses a subjective price for the calculation of taxation and the latter one uses an objective price the two regimes seemingly lack interaction. There is however a possibility that an adjustment of the price used for Transfer Pricing purposes might have an effect on the VAT due. VAT is a har

Objective Previous research on interprofessional learning in primary healthcare has been focused on students' learning in the encounter with the patient. However, the research is limited, and a review of the experiences of patients, students, and supervisors of interprofessional learning in primary healthcare is lacking. The focus of this scoping review is to describe the current knowledge and als
