I folkrättsligt hänseende är en stat endast skyldig att låta de egna medborgarna uppehålla sig på dess territorium. Ur ett EU-rättsligt perspektiv är dock varje medlemsstat förpliktad att tillämpa de regler som avser främja fri rörlighet för personer inom unionen. Dessa återfinns i EU:s primärrättsliga stadganden men konkretiseras genom sekundärrättsliga bestämmelser, framförallt genom direktiv 20With regard to international law, a state is only required to allow its citizens to reside within its own territory. However, from an EU law perspective, each Member State is obliged to apply regulations which intend to facilitate the free movement of persons within the EU. This is expressly laid down in the EU treaties, but must be viewed within the context of secondary law, in particular, the Ci

Under 1980-talet var Sri Lanka ett av de länder som flest barn adopterades internationellt ifrån, med 6815 registrerade adoptioner. Antalet adoptioner har sen dess fallit kraftigt. Under 2010-talet registrerades bara 259 stycken – detta trots den stora mängd barn som fortsatt växer upp på institutioner i landet. Hur kommer detta skifte sig och vad har det inneburit för barns rättigheter och tolkni

The right to health for persons with disabilities in the global South is far from being realized. The 2011 World Report on Disability suggests that the majority of persons with disabilities live in low- and middle-income countries. Further studies suggest that around 80% of persons with disabilities in global South countries report poor health. With this in mind, this thesis will focus on the righ

Moving towards an ecologically sound society requires strong support from higher educational institutions. During the past decade, the Journal of Cleaner Production has published more than 150 articles that have highlighted advances in academic efforts on sustainability in higher education, that were focused upon education, research, outreach and greening of campus operations in universities from

It has been proposed that vascular progenitor cells play an important role in vascular repair, but their possible clinical importance in cardiovascular disease has not been fully characterized. Vascular endothelial growth factor A, placental growth factor and stem cell factor (SCF) are three growth factors that are important in recruiting vascular progenitor cells. In this study, we investigated t

Background: The presence of echolucent carotid plaques as defined by low ultrasound grey-scale median (GSM) is associated with a higher risk of stroke and myocardial infarction. Betablockers have shown possible anti-atherosclerotic effects. The aim of the present study was to determine if there is an association between carotid plaque GSM and treatment with betablockers. Methods: The GSM of the ca

The kallikrein gene family (KLK1-KLK15) is the largest contiguous group of protease genes within the human genome and is associated with both risk and outcome of cancer and other diseases. We searched for copy number variants in all KLK genes using quantitative PCR analysis and analysis of inheritance patterns of single nucleotide polymorphisms. Two deletions were identified: one 2235-bp deletion

A major problem when studying behavior and migration of small organisms is that many of the questions addressed for larger animals are not possible to formulate due to constraints on tracking smaller animals. In aquatic ecosystems, this problem is particularly problematic for zoo- and phytoplankton, since tracking devices are too heavy to allow the organism to act naturally. However, recent advanc

Melanoma is currently divided on a genetic level according to mutational status. However, this classification does not optimally predict prognosis. In prior studies, we have defined gene expression phenotypes (high-immune, pigmentation, proliferative and normal-like), which are predictive of survival outcome as well as informative of biology. Herein, we employed a population-based metastatic melan

The inflammatory mediator procalcitonin (PCT) has previously been associated with prognosis in myocardial infarction, cancer and sepsis patients. The importance of PCT in the general population is currently unknown. Our aim was to assess the relationship between plasma PCT and the risk of all-cause and cause-specific mortality in apparently healthy individuals with no previous history of cardiovas

The principle of force feedback is to design a sensor as a feedback system where the action of the measured variable is compensated by a force generated by feedback. Force feedback has contributed significantly to improve the quality of sensors. A characteristic feature of MEMS devices is that they are subject to random disturbances, such as Brownian motion, Johnson-Nyquist noise, and tunneling no

Frågan om bevisning utgör en viktig fråga även i skiljeförfaranden. I synnerhet skriftlig bevisning är viktig då den överlag anses vara mer tillförlitlig än muntlig sådan. Det är därför av vikt att part får tillgång till all skriftlig bevisning, även sådan som motpart eller annan kan tänkas inneha. Om dessa dokument frivilligt företes av part eller tredje man uppstår inga problem. Problemen börjar

Are there such things as moral, rights and an inner sense of justice? Do they origin from God or are they something given by nature? If there are such things, should they be a part of the legal system? This essay has drawn its inspiration from this kind of thoughts and how they have been handled through history. The structure of the essay is two-folded. Part one is a historical review of the eme

The Roma people’s isolation has been a major concern for the population in Europe for many years. Programs and legal frameworks are created for the protection for this underprivileged group; however the isolation continues to exist. The purpose of this paper is to explain why many of the measures taken are shown to be inadequate. The outlining and the examination of the history in this matter will

Syftet med denna studie är att analysera hur ungdomar som varit placerade på särskilda ungdomshem upplever, definierar och tolkar ett behandlingsprojekt, som involverade olika myndigheter, benämnt Motverka Våld och Gäng. Dessutom uppmärksammas hur de tolkade de i projektet anställda samordnarna. Den personliga aspekten i relationen mellan ungdomar och samordnare framställs som viktig och det verkThe purpose of this study is to analyse the way young people who were institutionalised in so called special youth-homes experienced, defined and iterpreted on the one hand the project “Motverka Våld och Gäng” (meaning: “Counteract Violence and Gangs”), and on the other hand the Coordinators employed in this project. There is a big variation in the perception of the coordinators. One common deno
