This rapid rate of melting has serious negative impact on the earth causing flooding, leaving impact on flora and fauna, resulting in shortage of freshwater and hydroelectricity. The long-term monitoring of glaciers and the knowledge gained from it can help governments,

Lag(1993:387) om stöd och service till vissa funktionshindrade trädde i kraft den första januari 1994 som en rättighetslag. Syftet var att människor med funktionsnedsättning skulle få ökad livskvalitet. Genom lagen ville samhället skapa en möjlighet för de som får insatser ”att leva ett liv som andra”. Lagen var planerad som en del av en helhet, där handikappolitikens generella och individuella deLag (1993:387) om stöd och service till vissa funktionshindrade, which is an Act of individual rights, came into effect in January 1994. Its purpose was to improve the quality of life for people with disabilities and to create opportunities for people with disabilities to enable to live a life like any other.

Syftet med denna uppsats är att diskutera huruvida doktrinen Responsibility to Protect är att anse som en ny rättslig förpliktelse och en undersökning kommer göras för att se hur detta relativt nya begrepp förhåller sig till redan etablerad folkrätt i form av suveränitetsprincipen. Denna princip, som gör att stater ska ses som suveräna aktörer, är en av den internationella rättens viktigaste princThe purpose of this bachelor thesis is to discuss whether the Responsibility to Protect doctrine is considered a new legal obligation and an investigation will be made to see how this relatively new concept relates to already established international law in the form of sovereignty. This principle, which means that states are seen as sovereign actors, is one of the most important principles of int

Since national independence many NGOs active in the domain of gender have been established in Kyrgyzstan. Recently, this part of the NGO sector has seen the emergence of alternative organizations, voicing new issues and perspectives. In this thesis, I take a closer look at these new actors: how they differ from the older generation and also in relation to each other. I am especially interested in

De senaste 15-20 åren har övervikt och fetma blivit ett växande folkhälsoproblem i västvärlden. Befolkningen har en allt mer stillasittande fritid och en tredjedel uppfyller inte den föreslagna rekommendationen om 30 minuters fysisk aktivitet om dagen. Användning av stegräknare kan vara ett sätt att motivera och inspirera till ökad fysisk aktivitet. På ett stort processföretag med dag- och skift a

AIMS: Although the epidemiological association between Type 2 diabetes and congestive heart failure (CHF) as well as cardiovascular disease (CVD) is well established, associations between diabetes-related single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), CHF, and CVD have been surprisingly inconclusive. Our aim is to examine if 43 diabetes-related SNPs were associated with prevalent diastolic dysfunction as

Although diagnostic criteria have been developed characterizing postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS), no single set of criteria is universally accepted. Furthermore, there are gaps in the present criteria to identify individuals who have this condition. The reproducibility of the physiological findings, the relationship of symptoms to physiological findings, the presence of symptoms al

In this paper we address the problem of resource allocation for alarm traffic in industrial Internet of Things networks using massive MIMO. We formulate the general problem of how to allocate pilot signals to alarm traffic such that delivery is guaranteed, while also minimising the number of pilots reserved for alarms, thus maximising the channel resources available for other traffic, such as indu

A significant percentage of young children present cardiac murmurs. However, only one percent of them are caused by a congenital heart defect; others are physiological. Auscultation of the heart is still the primary diagnostic tool for judging the type of cardiac murmur. An automated system for an initial recording and analysis of the cardiac sounds could enable the primary care physicians to make

The past few decades have seen an increasing demand for environmental information on which to make more informed decisions, strengthened by several international calls for improving available environmental information. In a democratic South Africa, the involvement of people in policy and decision-making processes has led to an even greater need for accessible information. In response to this deman

Inom besöksnäringen är delningsekonomins utbredning särskilt tydlig och inom denna industri återfinns en rad företag såsom Airbnb, Vayable, Getmyboat, OffWeFly, EatWith, Uber, Fodora och Travelbuddy. Airbnb, som förmedlar uthyrning av privatpersoners bostäder som en sorts hotellrum, är kanske det mest välkända företaget. Typiskt för delningsekonomin i tjänstesektorn är digitala plattformar som sam

Popular Abstract in Swedish Dokosahexaensyra (DHA) och eikosapentaensyra (EPA) är omega-3 fettsyror, som har hälsofrämjande effekter. De behöver skyddas, DHA i synnerhet, eftersom de är mycket känsliga för oxidation. Flera lipider som innehöll DHA utvärderades med avseende på lipidernas möjlighet att skydda DHA mot peroxidation genom att använda en HPLC metod som utvecklades som en del av detta arDocosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) are omega-3 fatty acids, which have health promoting effects. Since they are highly prone to oxidation, they should be protected, in particular DHA. Several lipids containing DHA were evaluated with respect to the ability of the lipids to protect DHA against peroxidation using an HPLC method developed as part of this research. Furthermore,

This study depicts how the Armenian massacres in the Ottoman Empire during World War I were perceived by a neutral small state, namely, Sweden. The Swedish knowledge should be of special interest since, as a neutral state during the entire conflict, Sweden had no immediate involvement or interest in the ongoing conflict; thus, any reporting about the events would have been untainted compared to th
