Progress on Sustainable Development Goal 4: Quality Education (SDG4) has been insufficient and knowledge of how it is implemented into domestic contexts remains limited. Using norm diffusion theory as a framework, this thesis is a comparative study of SDG4 implementation in five countries around the world. By analysing both the discursive and practical impact of SDG4, this thesis has studied if an
This essay aims to analyse discursive power structures between rural and urban environments and how these are expressed through character portrayals of men in rural environments. The essay will also examine whether or not a relation between the discursive power structure (between the rural and urban) and a hegemonic masculinity can be found within the source material. The source material consists
Efter andra världskriget dömdes de högsta nazisterna till dödsstraff och fängelse för de internationella brott som de begått under krigsåren. Detta mötte dock kritik. Syftet med arbetet har varit att undersöka delen av kritiken avseende att Nürnbergprocessen inte varit förenlig med legalitetsprincipen som är en viktig princip för rättssäkerheten. Frågeställningarna har varit hur tribunalen och segAfter World War II, the highest Nazis were convicted of the death penalty and imprisonment for the international crimes committed during the war. However, this met criticism. The purpose of this essay has been to examine the part of the criticism about the Nuremberg process not being compatible with the principle of legality, which is an important principle of legal certainty. The questions to aid
Why are certain categories of people more likely than others to regard climate change as ‘fake news’? This thesis aims to replicate and expand on two earlier articles from McCright and Dunlap (2011) and Krange et al. (2019) who show that conservative white men are more likely to be climate change deniers in the US and Norway, respectively. This phenomenon is called the cool dude-effect. Theories a
The purpose of this thesis is to further the knowledge of the Internet’s effect on trade. The study is conducted by examining the specific example of the introduction of the SAT-3/WASC submarine Internet cable in Benin. The research is conducted by using a Difference in Difference estimator and observing the treatment effect of the Internet cable on the country’s exports. Previous studies have mo
Uppsatsen syftar till att undersöka de undantag till statschefers immunitetsskydd som har uppkommit i nationell praxis. Vidare sker en jämförelse med den praxis som kommit från de internationella domstolarna. Den centrala frågan är hur de nationella domstolarna argumenterar för att göra avsteg från immunitetsskyddet. Då reglerna om Jus cogens även har stor påverkan på frågan så kommer även dess saThe paper aims to examine the exemptions to the Heads of State immunity protection that have arisen in practice. Furthermore, a comparison with the practice from the international courts will be made. The central question is how the national courts argue on how to derogate from the immunity protection. Because the rules of Jus cogens also have a major impact on the issue so too will its connection
The aim of this paper is to analyze Peter Linde’s sculpture the Statue of Zlatan as a work of art in a public space and what kind of meaning is produced through its different kinds of expressions. Based on theories concerning public art, ancient Greek and Roman sculptural traditions and iconoclasm, this paper explains how the sculpture is drawing on older sculptural traditions to narrate the obser
Uppsatsen behandlar delvis internets betydelse för andrahandsmarknaden av kläder men framförallt vilka motiv konsumenterna har när de handlar begagnade kläder via internet. Teorin som används är Pierre Bourdieus teori om smak, fält, habitus och olika former av kapital. Metod för insamling av data bestod av kvantitativ metod i form av webbaserad enkät. Resultatet analyserades sedan i statistiskanal
Recent advances in the understanding of the epidemiology of osteoporosis suggest that certain parts of the current European guidelines for the registration of drugs in osteoporosis might be no longer substantiated. The object of this review is to provide the European regulatory authorities with an evidence-based working document providing suggestions for the revision of the "Note for guidance for
This doctoral thesis examines the causes and effects of corporate disclosure practices. The thesis consists of four independent but related essays that collectively make up a country study for Sweden. The first essay aims to explain why some firms have a proactive disclosure strategy while others devote less resources and effort to disclosure and investor relations. Information about Swedish firms
Laser Shock Peening (LSP) and Shot Peening (SP) are processes used to mechanically alter the surface properties of metals by inducing a transient high-pressure wave by a laser pulse or by a high-velocity impact of a peening particle. Both processes aim to induce compressive residual stresses near the surface and the level of residual stresses obtained from SP or LSP is similar. When austenitic steLaser Shock Peening (LSP) and Shot Peening (SP) are processes used to mechanically alter the surface properties of metals by inducing a transient high-pressure wave by a laser pulse or by a high-velocity impact of a peening particle.

Aim: One of the causes for lower cure rates in acute childhood leukemia in low- and middle- income countries (LMIC) compared to high-income countries is abandonment from treatment. The International Society of Pediatric Oncology (SIOP) defines abandonment as failure to begin treatment or an absence of 4 weeks during treatment. The aim of this study was to evaluate the extent of abandonment among p
The possibility to integrate sustainability considerations in the public procurement process has been debated over recent decades, resulting in several legislative changes. Collaboration between public and private sectors is emphasised as important in the development of sustainable public procurement but few studies focus on public-private collaboration related to sustainable public procurement.

Barnahus syftar till att förbättra utredningar och samarbete mellan myndigheter när barn misstänks ha varit utsatta för brott som misshandel eller sexuella övergrepp. I Barnahus samverkar olika instanser som socialtjänst, polis, åklagare, barnmedicin, rättsmedicin samt barn- och ungdomspsykiatri i en barnvänlig miljö. I stället för att behöva upprepa sin berättelse för olika tjänstemän på olika plBarnahus in Sweden exist to improve investigations and the collaboration between public agencies when children are suspected being victims of physical and/or sexual abuse. Barnahus are multi-agency collaborations that bring together local authority child welfare services, the police, public prosecutors, paediatric medicine, forensic medicine, and child- and adolescent psychiatry in a child-friendl
Aims: To describe burden and health-related quality of life amongst caregivers of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest survivors and explore the potential association with cognitive function of the survivors. Caregivers of patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction were used as controls. Methods: Data were collected from the cognitive substudy of the Targeted Temperature Management-trial. Caregive
Purpose: Neurofilament light (NfL) is a biomarker reflecting neurodegeneration and acute neuronal injury, and an increase is found following hypoxic brain damage. We assessed the ability of plasma NfL to predict outcome in comatose patients after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). We also compared plasma NfL concentrations between patients treated with two different targets of arterial carbon
Turbulent breakup in emulsification devices is a dynamic process. Small viscous drops undergo a sequence of oscillations before entering the monotonic deformation phase leading to breakup. The turbulence-interface interactions prior to reaching critical deformation are therefore essential for understanding and modeling breakup. This contribution uses numerical experiments to characterize the criti
In this report, the effectiveness of a detector-activated water mist system, Q-fog, has been compared to traditional residential sprinklers. In total, eight tests were performed with a realistic fuel (bed with pillow and duvet) based on the test procedure described in LPS 1655. The bed was placed at different locations in the room and was ignited at the pillow and below the bed, also according to In this report, the effectiveness of a detector-activated water mist system, Q-fog, has been compared to traditional residential sprinklers.
