Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka till vilken grad FN:s deklaration om de universella mänskliga rättigheterna (UDHR) kan anses vara präglad av en västerländsk uppfattning om mänskliga rättigheter. För att avgöra detta tittar jag på dels UDHR:s tillkomst, dels på dess innehåll och jämför detta med andra rättighetskataloger och deras bakomliggande rättstraditioner. Fokuset ligger på hur UDHRThe purpose of this essay is to critically examine if the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (the UDHR) is characterized by a Western perception of human rights and to examine the effects of such a characterization. This is attempted through studying the process in drafting and passing the Declaration and by looking at the content of the Declaration. When looking at the drafting and passing o

Due to the progressing environmental problems related to global warming, the chemical industry is transitioning from fossil to renewable feedstocks. For added environmental benefits, surplus biomass from the agricultural industry which currently does not have any high-value applications can be used for production of chemicals. This master thesis is written as a part of the tech-no-economic analysi

Pure factory-made protein? Chlorophyll does not only make plants green, but is also a vital part of the plant. It allows the usage of photosynthesis. The chlorophyll production has 20 steps, some more studied and some less. An important but yet not biochemically classified protein in the production of chlorophyll is Xantha-L. The protein forms one of the rings in the structure of chlorophyll and

Cooling systems based on magnetic refrigeration are a promising and environmentally friendly alternative to commonly used gas-compression refrigeration. Magnetic refrigeration is based on the magnetocaloric effect. This effect denotes a temperature change of a magnetic material due to a change in its intrinsic magnetic properties, induced by a change in an external applied magnetic field. MnCoSi i

The relationship with, and links of immigrants to their countries of origin is a common subject in diaspora studies, human geography, and media and communication studies. However, more rese

En pandemi är ett typexempel på force majeure: det är en genomgripande händelse för hela samhället. Så också för byggbranschen. Under våren 2020 drabbades många entreprenader av personalbrist och leveransproblem. Störningarna var dock kortvariga och den övergripande bilden är att byggbranschen klarat sig förhållandevis väl genom pandemin. En långsiktig förändring är kravet på smittskyddsgärder. SyA pandemic is a classic example of force majeure. In spring 2020, due to the corona virus, a lot of construction sites was affected by a lack of personal and delivery problem. The problems were however only temporary, and the overall picture is that the construction business has done relatively well during the pandemic. Something that is permanent is the requirement for prevention of infection at

We live in a world built on consumerist values and a spatial rationale of capital accumulation. This modern society has led to architecture thriving through super consumption and super production ultimately leading to the generic. Cities and spaces that were usually rich in variation and texture have now become an architectural melting pot. Architecture has become smooth, simplified and reduced to

I detta examensarbete undersöks databasen Plantfacts som innehåller data om stålverk från hela världen. Syftet med detta är att utvärdera om det finns en koppling mellan primärt och sekundärt producerat stål och olika typer av stålverk i downstream-processer. För att utföra detta har databasen formaterats om i Excel med hjälp av Visual Basic for Applications (VBA). Från början var Plantfacts databIn this thesis the Plantfacts database is investigated, which contains data about steel plants from all over the world. The purpose is to evaluate wheter there is a coupling between primary and secondary steel and different types of steel plants in downstream processes. To achieve this, the database has been reformatted using Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) in Excel. Initially, the Plantfacts

Då klimatfrågan blir större och viktigare än någonsin är det viktigt att alla olika aktörer tar sitt ansvar och aktivt arbetar för ett bättre klimat. Byggsektorn har ett stort ansvar i denna fråga och något som kan minska utsläppen är just att minska energibehovet i byggnader. Genom att reducera köldbryggorna minskas även andelen energi som behövs för att värma upp en byggnad. Det är dock inte endAs the climate issue becomes more significant and critical than ever, it is essential that all different actors assume their responsibilities and actively work for a better climate. The construction sector has a great responsibility on this issue, and something that can reduce emissions is to reduce energy consumption in buildings. By reducing the thermal bridges, the proportion of energy needed t

The conflict mineral crisis has been ongoing in the DRC for nearly two decades, with armed groups and increased military presence have played on the tin, tantalum, tungsten and gold to fund a brutal war across the eastern region of the country. Recent international efforts to tackle such illicit trade in conflict minerals has focused on requiring relevant stakeholders involved in the mineral sourc

The retail industry is in an ongoing transformation with new customer behaviors. In an omni-channel environment, multiple channels are integrated and the customer has a more central role within retail. Customers in an omnichannel environment are in general well-informed, digitally mature and have high demands towards the retailers they interact with. Traditionally, retailers could differentiate th

The current rules concerning the right to take industrial action were established in the early 1900s and are still an issue governed by the labour market organizations. In Sweden, the right to take industrial action is protected by constitutional law, which also includes sympathy actions. Limitations can only be made by law or particular agreements. In order to adapt to the current conditions, neg

I Bottniska bassängen i östra delen av centrala Sverige, finns ett antal intrusioner av tidig- och sensvekofenniska granitoider. Det aktuella undersökningsområdet består av ett sensvekofenniskt granitmassiv, beläget ca fyra km väster om Örnsköldsvik. Förutom de bergarter som tidigare definierats: själevadgranit, bergomgranit och paddalgranit, förekommer även sörbölegranit och billsjögranit. SörbölIn the Bothnian Basin, east-central Sweden, a number of intrusions of Early- and Late Svecofennian granitoids occurs. A series of Late Svecofennian granite intrusions makes up the investigation area. This is situated approximately four kilometres to the west of Örnsköldsvik. Apart from the granites earlier defined: the Själevad, Bergom and Paddal granites, Sörböle and Billsjö granites occur. The S

Parasitter og cytokiner i en naturlig populasjon I naturen finner vi utallige eksempler på arter som har spesialisert seg på å utnytte andre arter for næring, trygghet og overlevelse. Denne spesialiseringen kalles parasitisme, og har ofte en kostnad for verten i form av redusert helse og livskvalitet. Hos däggdjur, er en stor parasittgruppe innvollsparasitter. nematoder som lever i tarmene og sugAbstract In nature, the coexistence of parasites and hosts has been an important factor in evolution of the immune system, which can be found in all plants and animals. As parasitic infections are by definition affect overall fitness of the host, it is important for the host to be able to counteract the detrimental effects of infections. To ensure this, signaling molecules, known as cytokines, e
