In recent decades, international financial institutions (IFIs) have become loud advocates for gender equality in development and post-conflict recovery contexts. Several organisations have incorporated standalone objectives of women’s empowerment and gender equality in their work. However, feminist scholars have aimed critique towards IFIs for perpetuating already existing inequalities in post-con
Den svenska straffprocessrätten präglas av principen om fri bevisprövning, en allmän rättsprincip som innefattar såväl fri bevisföring som fri bevisvärdering. Principen om fri bevisföring innebär att all bevisning, oavsett hur beviset framkommit, får användas mot en brottsmisstänkt i en rättegång. Detta innebär att även bevis som åtkommits på lagstridig väg får användas i den nämnda situationen. The Swedish criminal procedure law is characterized by the principle of free examination of evidence, a general legal principle that includes both free presentation of evidence and free evaluation of evidence. By the principle of free presentation of evidence follows that all evidence, regardless of how the evidence came to light, may be used against a suspect in a criminal trial. This means that
A part of a semi-supervised learning pipeline is built to improve the classification of humans and animals in a home security detector. An AI teacher model that automatically labels data, which is then in turn used to improve a light-weight AI student model is created. The AI teacher is trained on existing labelled household camera image data. Approaches with leveraged convolutional neural nets an
This report aims to produce a summarized overview of available knowledge about lightweight joists and their behavior when subjected to fire. It also aims to analyze the possible impact of lightweight joists on the fire departments ability to handle a residential fire. The report is based mostly on literature studies on both foreign and domestic sources but discussed and analyzed from a Swedish per
De allmänna hänsynsreglerna som återfinns i 2 kap. MB infördes i syfte att miljöaspekten skulle generellt öka i samhället och att de ska användas som ett medel att uppfylla målet om hållbar utveckling. Hänsynsreglerna ska tillämpas i den mån det inte är orimligt enligt 2 kap. 7 § MB. Åtgärder och försiktighetsmått ska vara miljömässigt motiverade utan att vara ekonomiskt orimliga. Det är emellertiThe general rules of consideration, which can be found in the second chapter of the Swedish Environmental Code, was enacted with the purpose of enhancing environmental awareness generally in the society. They ought be used as means to fulfil the goal of sustainable development. The general rules of consideration are to be practised in a way so they are not unreasonable according to the 7th article
A general method for modelling reflection in a multilayer structure is developed. This is used to simulate how a Gaussian Ti:sapphire femtosecond pulse reflects off of a periodic SiO2/TiO2 dielectric stack at normal incidence. The method is based on a transfer matrix approach combined with the fast Fourier transform in MATLAB. Both a simple Bragg reflector and a linearly chirped mirror is investig
On a global scale, the modern food supply systems enabled a consistent supply of goods thanks to the technological advances. However, the continued urban growth led to an increase in demand in terms of food supply, and the displacement of food cultivation away from the cities to rural land. The consequent production and supply systems largely contribute to several challenges like carbon imbalances
This thesis takes off in framing theory and the theory of securitization to investigate the Yemeni government’s framing of its oppositional groups the Houthis and the Southern Movement. My purpose is three-folded: 1) to describe the conflicts between the Yemeni government and these two oppositional groups within their local and global context; 2) to illustrate how the Yemeni government is using th
Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Frågan om jordens ålder fick sitt svar först vid 1900-talets början, då upptäckten gjordes att uran sönderfaller till bly med bestämd hastighet. Genom att mäta blyisotoper i uranhaltiga mineral kunde man räkna baklänges och se hur lång tid som krävts för att den uppmätta mängden bly skulle bildas. Samma typ av beräkningar gjorda på mineralet zirkon (ZrSiO2) är i
Heat exchanger network synthesis (HENS) is an effective tool for heat recovery in chemical and petrochemical industries. This study aims to show a method for HENS with the consideration of different shell-side flow arrangements in shell-and-tube heat exchangers. The proposed MINLP model is modified from the stage-wise superstructure model, incorporating newly developed correlations for shell-side
Concomitant contact allergy to formaldehyde and formaldehyde-releasers remains common among patients with allergic contact dermatitis. Concentration of free formaldehyde in cosmetic products within allowed limits have been shown to induce dermatitis from shortterm use on normal skin. The aim of this study was to investigate the formaldehyde content of cosmetic products made in Lithuania. 42 sample
Departing from the question of how the EU self-image and role conception have been constructed in 1999-2009, this study locates the analysis of the EU as a foreign policy (FP) actor within the constructivist framework of role theory combined with a discursive approach. Guided by the central assumption that identity and role conception can be analysed by studying language in the form of discourse,
Title: The Impact of a Code of Conduct: An Interpretative Case Study on the Implementation of CSR in Business Practice Seminar Date: June 4th 2010 Course: BUSM 18 – Degree Project Master Level in Managing People, Knowledge & Change Authors: Anna Pfeiffer & Marleen Prinsen Advisor: Stefan Sveningsson Thesis Purpose: The main purpose of this research is to critically examine Corporate Social
This thesis discusses Ireland’s rapid economic growth in the 1990s, in order to place in in the context of contemporary globalization debate. A great deal of the growth has been cited to stem from the state’s encouragement of globalization, in terms of increasing exposure to global markets. I investigate the interactions between the state and market, in order to determine of the economic growth wa
The past decade has seen a plethora of policy initiatives that seek to bridge the chasm between investments in public R&D and its effective diffusion in society. This article uses a case study approach to explore and contrast the effectiveness of different entrepreneur models in financing and developing university spin-offs (USOs). The distinction between different entrepreneur models is based
This article theoretically analyses via scholarly literature the consequences of how the networked technology, the Internet is conceptualised. The Internet, as argued here, can be understood in many ways, in the sense that the digital environment is very much dependant on metaphors and conceptual loans to be spoken and thought of. This affects our behaviour and social norms and forms a number of l
In this article, two case studies from 1921–22 and 1971 respectively, are juxtaposed in order to determine change in official attitudes and screening contexts for pornographic films. Focusing in the first case on an exhibitor who in 1922 was convicted of screening an obscene film on three occasions the year before, and in the other case on the range of venues for pornographic films in Malmö the mo
The majority of motorcycle accident fatalities in Malaysia occur on primary roads, especially at access points situated along straight road sections. To explore the behavioral factors that may contribute to motorcyclists being involved in hazardous situations at these locations and to develop working hypotheses for a consecutive quantitative study, a qualitative observational study was carried out
