In recent years, the focus that LGBTQ+ rights have been receiving internationally has led to the reconsideration of their status, in both national and international contexts. Among many examples, this shift has been significant in Israel, where political discourse has made LGBTQ+ rights more and more visible. This study aims to present the processes of how Israeli politicians have incorporated LGB

Kollektivtrafiken är en viktig del av transportsektorn för att uppnå både EU:s och Sveriges klimatmål. För att fler resor ska kunna ersättas med hållbara resor behöver kollektivtrafiken bli mer attraktiv, och ett utvecklingsområde för det är att förbättra trafikinformationen. Trafikinformation värderas högt, inte bara utifrån dess tillgänglighet, utan även utifrån kvaliteten. Den påverkar både denPublic transport is an important part of the transport sector in achieving both the EU’s and Sweden’s climate goals. In order to replace more journeys with sustainable alternatives, public transport needs to become more attractive, and one area for development is the improvement of traffic information. Traffic information is highly valued, not only in terms of its availability, but also in terms o
This thesis investigates how human rights-based approaches (HRBAs) to disaster risk reduction mediate the relationship between international human rights law and local practice in the Philippines. It explores the processes of “vernacularization” and bottom-up influence. The former relates to adapting international human rights norms to local settings. The latter refers to local experiences and pra
In light of the recent austerity measures affecting cultural policy in several Western countries, this thesis aims to investigate the values mobilised by a cultural festival in Cologne, Germany, to justify its activities to financiers. A qualitative case study approach was adopted, involving interviews with festival representatives and document analysis of funding applications. Drawing on Boltansk
Växthusgasutsläpp från mänsklig aktivitet påskyndar den globala uppvärmningen och måste åtgärdas. Informations- och kommunikationstekniksektorn (IKT-sektorn), som tillhandahåller det digitala samhällets tekniker såsom datorer, smarttelefoner och internet, står för en mängd växthusgasutsläpp som kan jämföras med flygindustrins. Aktörerna inom sektorn har ett ansvar att minska dessa och ett relativtThe ICT sector’s greenhouse gas emissions are comparable to those of the aviation industry, and the actors within the sector have a responsibility to reduce these in order to help combat global warming. A relatively new area of concern is the climate impact of software due to energy consumption. For example, AI has been acknowledged as an emissions-hungry technology because of the large computatio
Background: There is a need to develop methods of determining concentration and purity for two new affinity ligands, protein T and protein H, in order to ensure the quality of an industrial production of said proteins. Aims: To develop a High Performance Size Exclusion Chromatography, HPSEC, method to determine concentration and purity of protein T and to improve an existing HPSEC method for
Framtidens kliniska prövningar - Konceptualisering av ett decentraliserat digitalt system Tolv år och 1336 miljoner dollar, det är vad som krävs i genomsnitt för att framställa ett nytt läkemedel. För att kunna erbjuda alla människor så bra behandling som möjligt skulle det skulle därför vara fördelaktigt om processen kunde effektiviseras och ett viktigt steg i att få en ny behandling godkänd är
Utländska offentliga pensionsinstitut som får utdelningar från svenska företag beskattas i Sverige med kupongskatt på upp till 30 procent av utdelningens bruttobelopp. De inhemska motsvarigheterna, AP-fonderna, är statliga myndigheter och omfattas av statens skattebefrielse enligt inkomstskattelagen. Denna skillnad i beskattning av utdelningar har gett upphov till ett fördragsbrottsärende mot SverForeign public pension funds receiving dividends from Swedish companies are in Sweden subject to withholding tax of up to 30 percent of the gross amount of the dividends. The domestic equivalents, the Swedish governmental pension funds, the AP-funds, are exempt from income tax as they are a part of the Swedish state. This difference in taxation has given rise to infringement proceedings against Sw
Testning och materialmodellering av gummipackningar i värmeväxlare För att en plattvärmeväxlare ska kunna fungera på ett effektivt sätt är det viktigt att ha packningar som klarar den höga belastningen. Detta examensarbete har inneburit att testa och anpassa nya materialmodeller för ett antal packningsmaterial för att förbättra utvecklingen i framtiden. Examensarbetet är gjort i samarbete med AlThe aim of this master's thesis is to establish material models for three rubber materials using macroscopic data collected using Digital Image Correlation, DIC. DIC is a non-contact optical technique for measuring strain and displacement in a material by tracking points on a material during the deformation process.\\ The rubber materials are tested in both uniaxial tension and compression, fr
Uppsatsen undersöker huruvida användningen av standardavtal vid offentlig upphandling av entreprenader inom Sverige innebär en inskränkning av den grundläggande unionsrättsliga friheten att tillhandahålla tjänster inom EU som säkerställs genom artikel 56 i Fördraget om Europeiska Unionens Funktionssätt. Entreprenadrätten är i Sverige oreglerad i lag och regleras istället genom standardavtal utformThis paper examines whether the use of standard agreements within public procurement of contractors in Sweden constitutes a restriction of the freedom to provide services within EU, which is ensured through article 56 in the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union. Contract-law is not regulated through law within Sweden but is instead regulated through standard agreements developed by an i
Seeing how climate change disproportionately affects women and children, the voices of young people and women are vital to incorporate into discussions and decision-making processes regarding climate change. This thesis explores the experiences of young women in the climate movement who have participated at the COP climate conferences between 2015-2023. By drawing on the theoretical framework of f
Context. The first release of astrometric data from Gaia is expected in 2016. It will contain the mean stellar positions and magnitudes from the first year of observations. For more than 100 000 stars in common with the HIPPARCOS Catalogue it will be possible to compute very accurate proper motions due to the time difference of about 24 years between the two missions. This Hundred Thousand Proper
To account for microbial reduction and food quality changes, first-order chemical reaction was added to a model for axial-dispersed plug flow (ADPF), which was recently developed for efficient (In the terminology of this paper, efficient is related to computation time for a given level of accuracy.) computation of time-dependent, large flow systems. It was shown that the extended ADPF model gives
Popular Abstract in Swedish Bihåleinflammation (rinosinuit) definieras som inflammation av näsans och bihålornas slemhinna. Akut rinosinuit är den femte vanligaste orsaken till antibiotikaförskrivning. Kronisk rinosinuit verkar vara ett ökande hälsoproblem, som drabbar drygt 9% av Europas befolkning och innebär en stor belastning på hälsoekonomin. Amerikanska studier har visat att rinosinuit påverRhinosinusitis is defined as an inflammatory process involving the mucosa of the nose and one or more of the paranasal sinuses. The aims of the work presented in this thesis were to investigate the degree to which rhinosinusitis affects the health-related quality of life (HRQOL), and to determine whether the diagnosis of this condition can be improved using Doppler ultrasound. The HRQOL of 207 pa
Rules on standing hold the power to enable, as well as to foreclose, intervention in regulatory processes. As such, they determine who may challenge regulatory power, and according to which criteria. This makes standing rules pivotal to any legal system. In the EU context, the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) has been much criticised over the years for its narrow interpretation of dir
Quantum dot (QD)-metal oxide composite forms a "heart" of the QD-sensitized solar cells. It maintains light absorption and electron-hole separation in the system and has been therefore extensively studied. The interest is largely driven by a vision of harvesting the hot carrier energy before it is lost via relaxation. Despite of importance of the process, very little is known about the carrier rel
Introduction: In former studies from North America early Do-Not-Resuscitate orders (DNR orders) in patients with intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH) had negative prognostic impact on mortality. The influence of DNR orders on functional outcome and whether DNR orders are grounded on relevant patient characteristics is unknown. We aimed to determine the frequency and predictive factors of DNR-orders and
In the automotive industry, it is common that the customers provide the suppliers with the necessary packing material needed for delivery of the goods. The reason for this is that it makes the handling and unpacking of incoming goods at the customer easy, but it also makes sure that the quality of the packing material is high, and that the transportation damages of the goods are minimised. It shou
