Sedan Internationella brottmålsdomstolen uppfördes och började utöva sin dömande verksamhet 2002 har domstolen haft jurisdiktion över krigsförbrytelser, brott mot mänskligheten och folkmord. I Romstadgan fanns redan från start även aggressionsbrottet upptaget, alltså brottet att inleda otillåtligt krig. Parterna lyckades dock inte enas om en definition av aggression och därför begränsades domstoleSince the International Criminal Court began to exercise their jurisdiction in 2002, the Court has been able to judge individuals over war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide. The crime of aggression, i.e. the crime of illegal use of force in international relations, was also listed as one of the crimes under the Court’s jurisdiction. But due to the fact that the State Parties could not a

The aim of this study was to analyse the discourse about unaccompanied asylum-seeking minors from two major newspapers in Sweden. More specifically its aim was to critically analyse which types of discourses on unaccompanied asylum-seeking minors appear in the news articles published in the last 5 years by the two major evening newspapers Aftonbladet and Expressen. The study was based on the criti

The watch officer on board of vessels of the Netherlands Royal Navy has to deal with a wide variety of interest during his/her duty. Despite the wide variety of interests the watch officer has to manage, the amount of incidents and accidents is few. Apparently, the watch officers of the Netherlands Royal Navy are well able to manage this wide variety of interests. The aim of this thesis research

As a consequence of increased knowledge about health and changed social structures, people tend to grow older and the life expectancy on average keeps on getting higher (Hemström, 2012). The life expectancy of half of the girls and boys born in Sweden during 2011, is 93 respective 91 years old. Today, it is more common that people pass away in their own homes or in retirement homes, than in a hosp

This master’s thesis explores the self-presentation of the Swedish national archives as well as the regional state archives of Härnösand, Vadstena, and Visby on Facebook during 2014. The thesis applies Goffman’s dramaturgical perspective, augmented by Meyrowitz’ ideas about the “middle region” as well as marketing theory as formulater by Kotler and Keller, to understand the different aspects of th

Carbon taxation can be a crucial policy to transform towards a greener economy, which was identified as a key strategy to achieve sustainable development at the United Nations Conference for Sustainable Development (UNCSD) in 2012. As more countries consider the introduction of carbon taxation and other carbon pricing mechanisms, it’s relevant to learn from the experiences in Nordic countries, whi

In 2008, the National Library of Sweden decided to transition from the Swedish system of classification, SAB, to the internationally established system Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC). The aim of this master’s thesis is to study the process of transition and the effect of this transition on the library collections and users of three Swedish libraries: two university libraries and one public lib

The research explores the protections provided for migrant domestic workers who are highly undervalued and often exposed to trafficking, despite comprising an integral part of the labour force worldwide. Saudi Arabia is a focus destination country for the study, as it emerged from among the top destination countries absorbing 61 percent of recorded Ethiopian migrant domestic workers. Despite such

Syftet med uppsatsen var att göra en regeljämförelse av USA:s och EU:s förslag till tvistlösning i handels- och investeringsavtalet TTIP, som förhandlades fram då uppsatsen skrevs. Studien gjordes med följande frågeställning som grund: - Vilka möjligheter ger USA:s respektive EU:s nuvarande förslag till tvistlösningsmekanism i TTIP en investerare att bevaka sin investering? Frågan besvarades genoThe purpose of this thesis was to make a comparison between the two proposals for investment dispute resolution under TTIP, currently being negotiated between the European Union and the United States. The study was made to answer the following question: - What level of protection does the US and the EU proposals, respectively, grant an investor wanting to safeguard an investment? The question was

Habitatkonnektivitet och förekomsten av gräsmarksfjärilar Dagens gräsmarker har ofta reducerats till små, geografiskt isolerade fragment omgivna och åtskilda av stora arealer med planterad skog eller åker. För gräsmarkslevande fjärilar utgör långa avstånd mellan livsmiljöerna ett stort hot då det innebär kraftigt försämrade spridningsmöjligheter. I den här studien har graden av habitatkonnektiviThe biologically important grasslands of today have due to last century’s major changes in land use often been reduced to small, geographically isolated fragments. The low level of habitat connectivity in fragmented landscapes, prevents dispersal of organisms and is considered to be a great threat to biodiversity. In this study the impact of connectivity on the abundance of 6 species of grassland

My master degree project started with an open brief, setting out to explore new possibilities within healthcare in relation to the benefits of IoT. By looking at medical trends, cutting edge diagnostic technologies, hypothesis about the future and by interviewing patients and medical personnel a couple of interesting project directions emerged. A decision was made to focus on prevention and one to

In an effort to combat illegal cartel activities taking place in the European Union, in 1996 the European Commission decided to implement a leniency program for self-reporting firms who, in return for information about their cartel, could receive a substantial reduction, or a total exemption from any fines that would have otherwise been imposed on them. The wellbeing and survival of cartels is dep

Det här examensarbetet beskriver ett projekt som har genomförts med Phasor Solutions Ltd om att simulera olika fel som kan uppstå i en sfärisk närfälts skanner (SNFS). En SNFS är ett komplicerat mätsystem som gör det möjligt att göra exakta mätningar för en halvsfär runt antennen som testas. Då frekvenserna som används i skannern är höga, geometrin är komplicerad och att transformation mellan närfThis thesis covers the work that has been carried out with Phasor Solutions Ltd on simulating possible errors in their spherical near field scanner (SNFS). A SNFS is a scanner that enables exact measurement to be taken in a complete hemisphere around an antenna under testing (AUT). Due to the high frequency, complex geometries and the fact that the transformation between near-field and far-field d

Denna rapport beskriver utvecklingen av väderskyddskoncept till fixed dome-övervakningskameror. Målet var att ta fram en lösning som fungerar bättre mot regn än de befintliga lösningarna på marknaden och som samtidigt är en produkt som passar in på en byggnad och ihop med kameran. Att designa ett väderskydd är ett komplext problem då det måste uppfylla många olika krav. Det måste bland annat klaThis report describes the design and development of weather shield concepts for wall-mounted fixed dome surveillance cameras. The aim was to create concepts that would have better functionality against rain than current solutions while at the same time being attractive, non-obtrusive products. During the first phase the challenges of a weather shield were explored in detail. Areas such as differe

There are only a few construction projects that include a Logistic Manager today. In many cases the profit is hard to see, since the involving tasks in logistics are the same even if there is a Logistic Manager included in the project or not. It may seem like the job is already taken care of and that a Logistic Manager therefore would be unnecessary. Even though the project tasks are the same, the

Om ett ekosystem ska fortsätta att förse samhället med viktiga tjänster måste det vara anpassningsbart. Som en del av ett ekosystem är arters förmåga att förflytta sig över landskapet vitalt för anpassningen. Grönstruktur underlättar förflyttningen av arter i ett landskap fragmenterat av bebyggelse och barriärer. Vid ett förändrat klimat är grönstruktur viktigt av två anledningar. Ökat antal extreFor an ecosystem to be able to continue to provide important services to society, it must be able to adapt to change. As part of an ecosystem, the ability of a species to migrate in the landscape is vital for the adaption to change. A green infrastructure allows the movement of species in a landscape fragmented by human influenced land use. The importance of a green infrastructure is twofold in a

Anti-immigration movements are currently enjoying electoral success around the world, despite attempts by incumbent parties to mitigate their influence on voters. This seeming paradox is the main focus of this paper, aiming to investigate whether attempts censor and ostracize antiimmigration attitudes actually mitigate their influence or not. Two studies were conducted: Study 1 investigated whethe

PCB sprids från byggnaders fogmassor till mark genom en rad olika processer Polyklorerade bifenyler (PCB) har bland annat använts för att mjuka upp fogmassa, vilket är ett tätningsmaterial för byggnader. Vetskapen om dess negativa påverkan på oss och vår miljö ledde slutligen till ett förbud under 1970-talet, men skadan var tyvärr redan skedd, PCB från dessa fogmassor har på olika sätt spridits, The use of PCB has been forbidden since the seventies, but due to the persistence of this organic pollutant it is still found in air, soil and ecosystems. Building sealants is one important source of PCB in the society, and through the survey "PCB in sealants–Big or Small Problem?" conducted by the Swedish environmental protection agency 1997, it was revealed that PCB in building sealant
