For example, it is widely believed that sustainable development policies should be legitimate, as the concept of legitimacy is frequently associated with sustainable development. Nevertheless, the notion of legitimacy is notoriously multifaceted and contested. In l

Language-based assessment (LBA) from open questions (e.g., how are you feeling?) analysed with natural language processing has predicted corresponding rating scales scores towards the theoretical upper limits. However, rating scales do not hold objective truth regarding psychological constructs. Therefore, the present pre-registered study set out to further validate LBA in a natural setting. Using

There are some people that cannot bear with their own burden of debt. These are over-indebted individuals. Research show that the reasons for over-indebtedness are macroeconomic shocks, personal shocks such as sickness, divorce and unemployment, but also sociological factors that make individuals want to spend more than they should. Additionally, research show that being over-indebted is correlate

Finite resources and increasing rate of consumption have made efficiency a key component in every energy consuming sector. The building industry, as a major contributor, has been the target of various initiatives and regulations aiming to lower its impact with varying degrees of success. Measurement of this impact has not always been easy, especially for buildings not yet built. Therefore, simulat

Denna studie undersöker hur missbruk påverkar vilken sorts hjälp en person som utsätts för våld i nära relationer har tillgång till. Uppsatsens forskning fokuserar därför på sambandet mellan missbruk och partnervåld för att få en uppfattning om vilka behov våldsutsatta kvinnor med missbruk har för att bäst förstå hur dessa kan bemötas. En kvalitativ ansats användes för att kunna göra en tematisk a

of various environmental issues. According to the environmentalists, one of the most prominent issues has been SHPPs construction across various locations and rivers in Bosnia and Herzegovina. This research aims to explore motivations of environmental activists in Bosnia and Herzegovina that are a part of river protection movements against small hydropower plants (SHPPs) The study is based on acti

Stock market development and its relationship with economic growth has been proven to be significant in previous research but how does it relate to human development? The Human Development Index was first released with the 1990 Human Development Report. If stock market development could impact economic growth could it also impact human development? To analyse the relationship a regression model wa

The German Federal Fiscal Court has in its decision from the 11th of December 2013 announced doubts of the constitutionality of a German national provision, including a treaty override, with the Constitution.

I denna uppsats har jag utrett vilka kriterier som uppställs för att fastställa inre väpnad konflikt i svensk rätt. Jag undersöker också hur kriterierna fastställs även i EU-rätten och i den internationella humanitära folkrätten gällande inre väpnad konflikt då båda dessa områden starkt påverkar den inhemska tillämpningen av begreppet. Genom att undersöka framförallt Diakité-domen har jag konstateIn this thesis I have examined with which criteria internal armed conflict is established within Swedish law. I have also examined the EU-law and the international humanitarian law and which criteria is laid down to understand the Swedish law which is strongly influenced by these lawsystems. By examining especially the Diakité case I´ve found that Swedish case law differs from EU case law and the

To validate cardiac output measurements by ultrasound dilution technology (COstatus monitor) against those obtained by a transit-time ultrasound technology with a perivascular flow probe and to investigate ultrasound dilution ability to estimate pulmonary to systemic blood flow ratio in children.

Many bird species are able to replace accidentally lost feathers out of the normal moulting periods, but whether such replaced feathers are able to restore the original mechanical properties of the plumage has not been evaluated before. In this study we analysed the structure and mechanical behaviour of the original and replaced feathers of 12 blackcaps Sylvia atricapilla. Replaced feathers showed

Centuries of artificial selection have dramatically improved the yield of human agriculture; however, strong directional selection also occurs in natural symbiotic interactions. Fungus-growing attine ants cultivate basidiomycete fungi for food. One cultivar lineage has evolved inflated hyphal tips (gongylidia) that grow in bundles called staphylae, to specifically feed the ants. Here we show exten

Röstlikhet hos enäggstvillingar är ett relativt outforskat ämne inom fonetiken. De få studier som har gjorts har dock fastslagit att enäggstvillingar har väldigt lika röster. De flesta studier som gjorts har varit perceptoriska, dvs. de har testat huruvida skillnaden i enäggstvillingars röster är hörbar och i vilken utsträckning. Det faktum att man vet väldigt lite om ämnet gjorde att arbetet med
