The text brings together the ECtHR and the CPT that are different, but key components of the system of combating torture on the European continent. On the basis of analysis of the historical background of the issue it points out the distancing concept that was followed by the drafters of the ECPT in respect of the relationship of the ECtHR and the CPT. As a result, the latter is not bound by the c
Under det senaste året har en rad uppmärksammade händelser med kopplingar till nazistiska grupper, som t.ex. demonstrationer och brutala överfall, ägt rum i Sverige. Dessutom har media vid ett flertal tillfällen rapporterat om att Sverige upprepade gånger kritiserats av FN:s rasdiskrimineringskommitté (CERD). Kritiken har handlat om att landet inte har rättat sig efter art. 4 (b) i FN:s internatioIn the last year a number of notable events with ties to Nazi groups, such as demonstrations and brutal attacks, have occurred in Sweden. The media has also reported on numerous occasions that the UN Committee for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination (CERD) has repeatedly criticized Sweden. The criticism has focused on the fact that the country has not complied with Article 4 (b) of the UN Con
The purpose of this essay is threefold. First, to look at the curriculum of English in the upper secondary classroom and what the role of narratology is. Secondly, an analysis of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone (2001) and Journey (2012) through Campbell’s monomyth and how the stages are presented to the viewer/player. Lastly, how these media and analysis are beneficial in teaching narrato
This purpose of this thesis is to get a further understanding of what Swedish feminist foreign policy constitutes through a critical discourse analysis. By using gender mainstreaming strategies and feminist IR-theories as a theoretical framework for analysis, key aspects from these approaches are examined within the Swedish feminist foreign policy. This thesis mainly focuses on how the concepts of
Denna uppsats övergripande syfte har varit att redogöra för och analysera gällande upphovsrätt i förhållande till tillhandahållandet av en länk som leder till olagligen publicerat material. Ämnet är högaktuellt då EU-domstolen så sent som i höstas meddelade en dom i det så kallade GS Media-målet, där denna typ av länkning behandlades för första gången. Analysen har gjorts utifrån upphovsrättshavThis thesis investigates the regulation of copyright infringement, in relation to the provision of a link that leads to illegally published works. The topic is highly relevant, since the CJEU recently handed down a judgment in the so called GS Media case, where linking to work published without the consent of the rights holder, was assessed for the first time. The analysis is written from a copyr
Background: Decision-making regarding treatment limitations such as “Do not attempt resuscitation” (DNAR) orders for older patients has been found deficient. Patients ≥ 80 years with substantial comorbidity have little chance of surviving cardiac arrest, thus require thorough risk classification focusing on comorbidity and frailty. This study aimed to explore the degree of frailty, comorbidity and
Understanding persistence and evolution of B cell clones after COVID-19 infection and vaccination is crucial for predicting responses against emerging viral variants and optimizing vaccines. Here, we collected longitudinal samples from patients with severe COVID-19 every third to seventh day during hospitalization and every third month after recovery. We profiled their antigen-specific immune cell
Background: The carba mix is used to screen rubber chemical allergy and consists of three rubber sensitising chemicals: 1% (w/w) zinc diethyldithiocarbamate (ZDEC), 1% (w/w) zinc dibutyldithiocarbamate (ZDBC) and 1% (w/w) 1,3-diphenylguanidine (DPG), all in petrolatum. However, carba mix patch test results can be difficult to interpret, which may be linked to so-called ‘cocktail’ effects. Objectiv
This thesis examines patient involvement in an open psychiatric ward in Denmark. It argues that patient involvement brings forth a contradiction within psychiatric care, where patients gradually learn how to position themselves as cooperative patients. In order for patient involvement to function as a meaningful force for all implicated parties, it demands a joint ground, where psychiatric treatme
When a website has critical points in time when the amount of visitors increases significantly within a very short time frame, it is extremely important for the underlying system to be prepared to properly handle these large amount of requests. In Emues’ case it’s about more than just keeping the services running, but also to improve on the user experience while purchasing tickets for events. The
This bachelor thesis is written within the field of strategic communication, focusing on marketing communication and the concept of sensemaking. Instead of seeing a high involvement purchase according to the traditional and linear buyer decision process, this thesis suggests the purchase instead to be seen as a customer journey, which addresses the complexity of the purchase. The aim of the study
The findings from the Prostate Cancer Prevention Trial (PCPT) and how they relate to the management of prostate disease were reviewed by leading European urologists during a meeting held in December 2005. The consensus opinions that were reached were endorsed by the European Association of Urology and are documented here. The key points of the consensus are as follows: (1) The overall results from
It is known that host cells can produce type I IFNs (IFN-alpha beta) after exposure to conserved bacterial products, but the functional consequences of such responses on the outcome of bacterial infections are incompletely understood. We show in this study that IFN-alpha beta signaling is crucial for host defenses against different bacteria, including group B streptococci (GBS), pneumococci, and E
The sensitivity of the rat submaxillary gland was examined 3-4 weeks after either parasympathetic decentralization or sympathetic decentralization or denervation. The threshold doses for secretion of saliva of parasympathomimetic (methacholine) and sympathomimetic (noradrenaline, adrenaline, phenylephrine and isoprenaline) drugs were estimated and the amount of saliva secreted in response to supra
Greenhouse-grown clones of Viola tricolor were used to evaluate the importance of genetic effects on in vit ro pollen tube growth rate in relation to the influence of two environmental soil factors-pH and phosphorus content. After 1 mo in different soil treatments, individual pollen tube growth rate was affected by a genotype by phosphorus interaction, while it was unaffected by either main effect
We studied regeneration distance of rat sciatic nerve, with the sensory pinch reflex test and immunocytochemical staining for neurofilaments, four to 21 days after transsection, repair, and enclosure of the repair site in either a non-absorbable silicone tube or an absorbable polyglycolic acid (PGA) tube. The size of both tube-types was carefully selected so that they did not compress the repaired
The optical efficiency of concentrating solar thermal and photovoltaic systems with cylindrical geometries is asymmetrical about the optical axis. Biaxial models, based on projected incidence angles, are often used to estimate the annual performance of asymmetric concentrators. However, the use of projected angles tends to underestimate optical losses in the cover glass. In this work, a biaxial mo
Primary purpose of this thesis is to contribute to the currently rather limited academic literature on Asian expatriates in Turkey since this group has recently been growing in number and is expected to grow in the future. The research aims to see commonalities and derive generalizable inferences on advantages and problems of Asian expatriates in Istanbul. 23 semi-structured and mostly personal in
The aim of this study was to examine if social workers use any strategies when communicating to young involuntary clients. Our study was based on six interviews with social workers who work with young adults in social services. We wanted to find out what kind of strategies or methods social workers use in their contact with resistant clients and what difficulties they experience when communicatin
