The Alps are undergoing constant landscape changes due to modern socio economic changes. Especially grassland ecosystems of alpine meadows and pastures are threatened by the slow abandonment of the alpine transhumance traditions. This influences not only biodiversity but also the important cultural landscape seen as a valuable heritage in the Alps. The landscape in the North Italian alpine provinc
Semiconductor Nanowires are promising building blocks for advanced optoelectronic devices since their small diameter give rise to quantization effects. The small diameter also makes them susceptible to non-radiative recombination due to surface states. A consequence of non-radiative surface recombination is a reduction of a total recombination lifetime. This is in turn limits an internal quantum e
This essay examines how Swedish newspapers portrayed the men's football world cup. The foundation of the study is set by researchers Lawrence Wenner & Andrew Billings and their findings that critical media coverage on sporting events is reported before it starts. The media's focus then often shifts to mainly concerning sport coverage once the event has started. The aim of this study is
The expected increase in both consumption and production of electricity strains the Swedish electricity grid, necessitating both reinforcement and expansion. Concurrently, the need to decarbonise heavy industry is becoming more urgent to achieve the EU Climate neutrality goal by 2050, with hydrogen anticipated as a key player. Hybrid energy systems that combine the generation of renewable electric
Syftet med denna framställning är att, med utgångspunkt i ett par valda bestämmelser av boilerplate-karaktär, undersöka klausulernas rättsverkningar utifrån ett svenskt avtalsrättsligt perspektiv. Boilerplate-klausuler anses skapa förutsebarhet mellan kommersiella avtalsparter och ger uttryck för generella bestämmelser som inte är avtalsspecifika. Det som emellertid är problematiskt för svenskt viThe purpose of this paper is to analyze boilerplate-clauses from a Swedish contract law perspective. Boilerplate-clauses are widely recognized for their role in enhancing predictability in commercial contracts, providing standardized terms that are not tailored to the specifics of an individual agreement. However, a challenge arises from the fact that these clauses originate from Anglo-American le
Denna uppsats har undersökt rätten för en icke-skadad stat att vidta kollektiva kontraåtgärder enligt folkrättens statsansvarsregler. Kollektiva kontraåtgärder innebär att en icke-skadad stat (enligt Artikel 42 ARSIWA) kan vidta kontraåtgärder mot en annan stat, när den staten brutit mot förpliktelser erga omnes (partes), även kallade kommunitära normer (på engelska communitarian norms). Sådana föThis thesis has examined the right of a non-injured state to take collective countermeasures under international state responsibility law. The concept of collective countermeasures refers to countermeasures that are taken by non-injured states (in the sense of Article 42 ARSIWA) in response to breaches of obligations erga omnes (partes), otherwise referred to as communitarian norms. Such obligatio
Homelessness is a problem that has received a lot attention in Helsingborg in the past years. In part this is due to a conflict between the city and a non-profit organization, a conflict that has been frequently covered by the local media. The conflict concerns the City of Helsingborg’s decision to quit funding the organization's housing facility for homeless individuals. The decision was also
Handeln med piratkopierade och varumärkesförfalskade varor, det vill säga varor som gör intrång i immateriella rättigheter, har ökat kraftigt. Utvecklingen har gått från småskalig verksamhet till en global industri. De intrångsgörande varorna orsakar omfattande skador för rättighetshavare, bland annat genom förlorade intäkter och dåligt rykte. Vidare kan varorna medföra risker för konsumenternas sTrade with pirated and counterfeited goods has increased considerably. The development has transited from small scale production towards becoming a global industry. Infringed goods cause large damage for right holders, not only do they lose revenue, but also the companies’ image and market value is under fire. Furthermore, infringing goods cause damage not only to right holders, but also affect co
On the 30th-31st of January 2015 a cultural event took place at the concert and congress house of Uppsala in mid-Sweden; Uppsala Konsert & Kongress. The event was called "Irländskt!" (i.e. "Irish!") and consisted of concerts, workshops and sessions. This is a sociological study of the Irish traditional sessions at this event. The participants were studied as part of a commu
This master’s thesis centers on the meetings on one organization, the Fredsbaskrarna or Peace Berets. Its purpose it to reveal and analyze the interactions, conversations and narratives at these meetings. Fredsbaskrarna is an interest organisation started by military veterans, where local meetings and face-to-face interactions are of central importance. The concrete research questions are: Which e
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is a term increasingly used in academic discussions, political debates, media, corporate reports, Non-Governmental Organizations’ (NGOs) reports, and even by civil society and the public. But what does CSR actually mean? What do CSR practices actually constitute? Another increasingly debated issue is the growing power of the business sector and its direct effe
When referring to the same event, people can have different assumptions. What is interesting to see is why these assumptions are different, why do people have different stories? Some of the reasons could be different levels of expectation, different communication channels or even different cultural backgrounds. We have analysed all these by having a case study within a company that has recently go
This thesis provides an analysis of three photographs from the New Mothers-series by Rineke Dijkstra, which serve as a point of entry for a discussion on how the maelstrom of visual expressions surrounding the contemporary subject is transforming his/her experience of what is real in relation to visual expressions. In the exploration, the concept of “the real” is examined in its construction and a
Adjustable magnetic field sources have become indispensable in advanced material characterization techniques. Among these, permanent magnet assemblies offer significant advantages by reducing power consumption and minimizing Joule heating. In this work, we report on the development and integration of a tunable magnetic sample environment at the SoftiMAX beamline of the MAX IV synchrotron, employin
Popular Abstract in Swedish Denna avhandling fokuserar en religiös aktör i det civila samhället under en konfliktfylld tid. Judiska, muslimska och kristna barn studerade tillsammans i anglikanska missionsskolor under den brittiska mandattiden i Palestina. Jerusalem var då etniskt och religiöst delat. Det anglikanska utbildningsprojektet var en del av den Anglikanska kyrkans försök att främja konflThis thesis concerns a religious actor in the civil society in times of violent conflict. During the British Mandate period in Palestine, Jewish, Muslim and Christian children studied together at Anglican missionary schools. At this time Jerusalem bore all the imprints of ethnic and religious separation and division. The Anglican educational project became part of the efforts made by the Anglican
Fostering Obligations. Representations of a Mission in South India in the First Half of the 20th Century This thesis investigates how Swedish medical missionaries in South India represented their mission not only as a mission of converting people to Christianity, but also of spreading moral and scientific values in order to found an Indian Lutheran folk church. Missionary narratives were not only
This thesis is a study of landownership that took place in Scania in southern Sweden in the 1860s. Basically it was a conflict between an alliance of tenant farmers and rural poor against estate owners in a time of agrarian change, a time characterized by mass evections of tenants and increasing proletarization. The participants of the movement, led by the self-taught lawyer Samuel Tullberg, claim
The EU governance of food safety and GM food and feed has gone through significant changes since the BSE crisis and food scares during the 1990s. This work focuses on one particular new feature; the role of stakeholders representing the food chain: biotech associations, farmer organizations, food and feed processors, consumer organizations and environmental NGOs. These stakeholders are not merely
Archaeologists seek to analyze patterns of similarity and difference among diverse kinds of assemblages that (1) vary in the number of specimens and (2) have been characterized by standard multi-category frequency distributions. Recent developments in computer simulation methods offer marked improvements in our ability to test statistical hypotheses about variation in relative taxonomic or typolog
Shedding of epithelium, increased venular permeability, and traffic of activated eosinophils and neutrophils may characterize asthmatic airways. This in vivo study involving briefly anesthetized guinea pigs examines whether epithelial denudation itself affects airway venules and granulocytes. Using an oral probe, a de-epithelialized tracheal zone (0.8 x 30 mm) was produced without bleeding or dama
