Formed in the aftermath of the Second World War, the UN and its Security Council was given the primary responsibility for maintenance of international peace and security. Still today, sixty years later, the composition of permanent members in the Council has remained the same. A debate has been raging within the UN about the role of the Security Council. Special concern has been directed towards t
As the observer of international peace and security, the UNSC has the power to decide upon what constitutes of a threat to world peace. By adopting Resolutions, the UNSC creates binding decisions that must be pursued by all members of the UN. Article 103 UN states that the UN Charter prevail over any other treaty obligation, why the EU must follow the decisions of the UNSC due to the obligations o
Syftet med denna uppsats är att redogöra för regleringen av självförvållad berusning i svensk och tysk straffrätt, och dess förhållande till grundläggande straffrättsliga principer. Utmärkande för problematiken kring självförvållad berusning är stridigheterna mellan kriminalpolitiska effektivitetsskäl å ena sidan, och den grundläggande straffrättsliga skuldprincipen å andra sidan. I svensk rätt reThe aim of this essay is to investigate the regulation of self-induced intoxication in Swedish and German criminal law and its relation with fundamental rule of law-principles. Characteristic for this problematic area is the incompatibility between the legislator’s criminal policy on the one hand, and fundamental rule of law principles as the principle of culpability on the other hand. In Swedish
As a result of climate change warmer temperatures are projected through the 21st century and are already increasing above modelled predictions. Apart from increases in the mean, warm/hot temperature extremes are expected to become more prevalent in the future, along with an increase in the frequency of droughts. It is crucial to better understand the response of terrestrial ecosystems to such temp
The PI3K/mTOR pathway is the second most frequently deregulated pathway in a majority of cancers such as breast cancer, lung cancer, and melanomas as well as leukemia. Mutations in the genes coding for receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) and G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are quite common in all forms of acute leukemia. This can be a major cause of deregulation of the PI3K-mTOR pathway. To under
The drought of 2003 was exceptionally severe in many regions of Europe, both in duration and in intensity. In some areas, especially in Germany and France, it was the strongest drought for the last 50 years, lasting for more than 6 months. We used continuous carbon and water flux measurements at 12 European monitoring sites covering various forest ecosystem types and a large climatic range in ord
The structures of the hydrated thallium(III) halide and pseudohalide complexes, [TlX(n)(OH2)(m)]((3-n)+), X = Cl, Br, CN, in aqueous solution have been studied by a combination of X-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy (XAFS), large-angle X-ray scattering (LAXS), and vibrational spectroscopic (Raman and IR) techniques including far-infrared studies of aqueous solutions and some solid phases
Popular Abstract in Swedish Att gifta sig eller att vara med om en olycka är emotionella händelser som skapar våra mest livfulla och detaljerade minnen. Sådana minnen av händelser i tid och rum kallas generellt episodiska minnen. De flesta människor minns till exempel nästan exakt var de var när de hörde talas om terrorattackerna i New York 2001. De flesta av oss har nog redan glömt vad som hände The investigation of memory distortions provides insights into how memory normally works. Adopting a cognitive neuroscience perspective, the present thesis aimed at investigating memory distortions and the neural correlates of processes contributing to successful control of memory interference in healthy participants. All studies employed variations of the modified continuous recognition task. In
Popular Abstract in Swedish Regnvatteninsamling genom översvämningskontroll för artificiell grundvatteninjektering är en traditionellt använd metod i arida och semiarida Iran. Metoden har använts under flera tusen år för att öka andelen vatten som kan användas till jordbruksproduktion. Under de senaste 100 åren har emellertid mycket av den traditionella kunskapen om dessa metoder fallit i glömska Groundwater depletion in arid and semiarid areas is of increasing concern. Increasing water demand due to increasing population and climate change impacts have intensified the water shortage problems and put further stress especially on groundwater. Water harvesting techniques have been traditional solutions to water scarcity problems in the arid and semiarid Middle East for thousands of years. Th
Improved environmental consciousness and harsh legislation concerning volatile organic compounds (VOCs) during the 1980s led to an increase in the development in the field of polymer colloids. Solvent born coatings were replaced by polymer dispersions in aqueous solution, so called latex dispersions. As a consequence, numerous research programs concerning polymerization processes (e.g. emulsion po
Popular Abstract in Swedish Syftet med studierna som presenteras i denna avhandling har varit att undersöka om fordonsetanol kan framställas på ett lönsamt och energieffektivt sätt från restprodukter från jord- och skogsbruk enligt svenska förhållanden. Mycket av den forskning som rör andra-generationens etanolproduktion går ut på att förfina och förbättra de separata delstegen i framställningsproSweden has claimed that it wants to have a fossil-free vehicle fleet in 2030 as a milestone of its ambitious goal for 2050 to be a country with a sustainable and resource-efficient energy supply without any net GHG emissions. Production of bioethanol from plant materials is one potential method of meeting this goal. A large amount of research has been devoted toward the development of sustainable
Anaerobic digestion (AD) offers considerable potential in the production of energy from renewable sources, and is being increasingly recognised as a sustainable technology for the treatment of waste. The production of energy from waste such as municipal solid waste (MSW), lipid-rich waste, and agricultural biomass and waste may play an important role in the production of renewable energy given the
Packaging serves a lot of purposes, and would be hard to do without. Packaging protects the goods during transport, saves costs, informs about the product, and extends its durability. A transport package is required to be strong and lightweight in order to be cost effective. Furthermore, it should be recycled because of environmental and economical concerns. Corrugated board has all of these featu
Food processing comprises operations such as dilution (changing the concentration), homogenisation (changing the particle size), and subsequent pumping (shearing), among others. It is thus of great interest to gain a better understanding of the mechanisms governing the creation and disruption of structures during these engineering operations, and the way in which they are related to the textural a
Avhandlingen har titeln ”Konsten att upprätthålla löneskillnader mellan kvinnor och män” och är en rättssociologisk studie av vad som stått i vägen för likalöneprincipen, när internationella konventioner och EU-rätten medfört krav på förändringar av kollektivavtal och lagstiftning. Avhandlingens syfte har varit att undersöka och förstå hur löneskillnader mellan kvinnor och män skapas och återskapaThis dissertation, entitled “The Art of Preserving the Gender Pay Gap,” is a study in the sociology of law. It examines the obstructions to the principle of equal pay that persist in the face of international conventions and EU legislation that have mandated changes to legislation and collective bargaining agreements. The dissertation seeks to investigate and explain how the pay gap between women
The aviation industry is perceived as being unsustainable in the long term due to foreseen continuous growth and the use of finite natural resources. To become more sustainable airlines need to address sustainability in their business model and business strategies. This research explores how the two airline carrier types, Ryanair, an LCC, and Scandinavian Airlines (SAS), an FSC, have addressed sus
Brown seaweeds are marine macro algae, which are quite unexplored for their potential uses in food products in Europe. Saccharina latissima and Alaria esculenta are fast growing brown seaweeds species in European countries, mainly found in Norway and cold waters of the North Atlantic. These species are known to be rich sources of iodine, protein, polyphenols, carbohydrates and micronutrients like
In Sweden there has been an increasing power shortage recently, especially in the region of Scania, which has resulted in escalating electricity prices and in turn a public will to fix the problem. The situation is a result of the existing electricity production being decommissioned or replaced by more variable alternatives together with the fact that electricity transmission from other parts of S
Oats (Avena sativa) are a cereal crop rich in dietary fibre, vitamins, antioxidants, and other nutrients. It is considered to have higher nutritional values compared to other cereals, with a higher fat content (2-13%). Oats also have high content of lipase enzymes when compared to other crops. The high lipase activity is unwanted in oats as it may induce hydrolytic rancidity, with a soapy, bitter
Background: Operations planning and control has undergone an extensive shift from an individual company focus to a complete supply chain focus which has required a new common approach for supply chain planning and control to evolve. Increasing competition and globalization has created complexity in supply chain planning and integration since it requires a new cross-functional approach. To handle s
