In the broader context of an increasing awareness of perspectives that for long have been a taboo in development thinking, such as ecology and gender questions, this study focuses on the subject of disability in development. By raising the question if disability can be mainstreamed the subject of disability will be compared with what can be learned from gender-mainstreaming. Conducted as a critica

Principerna om oskyldighetspresumtion och fri bevisprövning existerar med det gemensamma målet att nå så pass materiellt korrekta domar som möjligt. Dessa två rättssäkerhetsprinciper hamnar på ytan i konflikt med varandra när den tilltalade använder sig av sin rätt att tiga för att undvika att belasta sig själv; tystnaden får inte tolkas negativt för den tilltalade, men domstolen är å andra sidan The principles of presumption of innocence and free evaluation of evidence share a common raison d’être in their strife to produce as materially proper judgements as possible. However, these two principles of rule of law seemingly appear to conflict when a suspect exercises his right to remain silent in order to avoid self-incrimination; a suspect’s silence may not be interpreted negatively as evi

Sammanfattning Denna uppsats redogör för barnpornografibrottets barndefinitions utveckling från dess tillkomst och fram till 2010 års reform. Definitionen av barn och ett införande av en bestämd 18 års gräns har varit föremål för diskussion i tidigare förarbeten. Pornografin avkriminaliserades i Sverige i början av 1970 talet och tanken var att endast nödvändiga inskränkningar skulle få göras i Summary This paper describes the childpornographyoffense´s child definition and its development from its inception and until the reform 2010. The definition of children and the introduction of a fixed18-year limit have been discussed in earlier legislative history. Pornography was decriminalized in Sweden in the early 1970s, and the idea was that only necessary restrictions would have to be made

Novel materials in microfluidics can enable innovative applications, price reductions, higher efficiency, and increased availability. In this thesis, I examine polymer materials for acoustofluidic applications, and find several functioning, and promising, materials and designs. Microfluidics involves manipulating small volumes of fluids for novel applications, and acoustofluidics describes the ap

The “peer to peer” (P2P) is a technology of downloading and filesharing between online - Internet - users by the mean of specified software. Since June 1999, the Napster software has made the happiness of millions of individuals who used it to obtain and share free audio files Mp3. Rapidly, the major recording companies have prosecuted the Napster Company and managed to force it to close down. The

Tillämpningen av Genèvekonventionen i flyktingmottagande länder har kritiserats av internationell doktrin inom mänskliga rättigheter för att utgå från en manlig norm och ignorera de kränkningar som kvinnor utsätts för då de utspelar sig i den privata sfären. Kvinnors förföljelse har inte samma orsaker och tar inte alltid samma form som mäns, varför de kan ha svårare att få gehör för sina skyddsbehThe determination of refugee status within the scope of the 1951 Geneva Convention on Refugee Status is traditionally carried out within a framework of male experiences. The claims of female asylum-seekers are often based on gender-related persecution and thus will not fit the profile of a convention refugee. As the gendered bias of the historical interpretation of the Geneva Convention is increas

Denna framställning syftar till att analysera den svenska regleringen om förskott på arv. Framställningen har för avsikt att med hjälp av ett rättshistoriskt perspektiv, redogöra för varför lagstiftningen ser ut som den gör, för att därefter diskutera alternativa lösningar. Den svenska lagstiftningen bygger på tanken att en arvlåtare inte har velat gynna en arvinge framför övriga, och att en gåva This presentation aims to analyze the Swedish term förskott på arv, which means that an heir, during the lifetime of a deceased person, receives a gift which later will be deducted from his or her inheritance. The presentation intends to explain why the legislation has its current form, and to subsequently discuss alternative solutions. The Swedish legislation is based on the notion that a decease

The aim of this study is to examine a possible fusion of the different legal regimes applicable to international and non-international armed conflicts. The thesis points at different means of rendering the provisions of the Geneva Conventions applicable to conflicts which appear to be non-international. The Conventions are interpreted according to the provisions on interpretation of treaties in th

This article considers the challenges faced by digital evidence specialists when collaborating with other specialists and agencies in other jurisdictions when investigating cyber crime. The opportunities, operational environment and modus operandi of a cyber criminal are considered, with a view to developing the skills and procedural support that investigators might usefully consider in order to r

Over the years, much ink has been spilled in the debate on standing of NGOs before the EU courts. This issue has been the object of particular consideration following the ruling in the Greenpeace case where the General Court denied the NGO in question standing on the basis that it did not ‘adduce any special circumstances to demonstrate the individual interest of their members’. Considering that e

The purposes of this thesis are to provide a credible picture of the institutional transformation that I allege is taking place in the field of management education in Poland and to widen the field of application of institutional theory by applying it to the field of management education in Poland. In the study I conceptualise management education as an organisation field. The theoretical framewor

The European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC), which covers a large cohort of half a million men and women from 23 European centres in 10 Western European countries, was designed to study the relationship between diet and the risk of chronic diseases, particularly cancer. Information on usual individual dietary intake was assessed using different validated dietary assessm

Objective: The aim in this study was to assess the association between individual plasma carotenoid levels (alpha-carotene, beta-carotene, lycopene, beta-cryptoxanthin, lutein, zeaxanthin) and fruit and vegetable intakes recorded by a calibrated food questionnaire (FQ) and 24- h dietary recall records (24HDR) in nine different European countries with diverse populations and widely varying intakes

Objectives. To determine the utility of single-stranded conformation polymorphism (SSCP) analysis for mutation screening in the BTK (Bruton's tyrosine kinase) gene, we investigated 56 X-linked agammaglobulinemia (XLA) families. To obtain genotype/ phenotype correlations, predicted protein aberrations were correlated with the clinical course of the disease. Patients. This study included 56 patients

The thesis examines various aspects of "electricity hypersensitivity" (EH). An empirical investigation of a group of persons suffering from EH was carried out, a part of the group being treated psychologically according to cognitive- behavioural principles in a controlled outcome study. The major findings concern an explanatory-model of EH, the the assessment of characteristics of EH-sufferers and

Popular Abstract in Swedish Svampmycel i marken hämtar sin energi både från levande och dött organiskt material. Vissa svampar hämtar energi direkt från levande växter genom att bilda en symbios som kallas mykorrhiza. Arbuskulär mykorrhiza (AM) är en sådan typ som bildas av svampar som inte kan leva utan värdväxter. AM-svamp hämtar sin energi från rötter, samtidigt tar svampen upp viktiga växtnäriArbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi colonise a wide range of plant species and are especially common in soils with a relatively high pH, where phosphorus availability is a limiting factor for primary production. The aim of this thesis was to study the ecophysiology of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi when exposed to different environments. Development of AM fungi and their host plants were investig

This book is about the idea of the university in modern Germany. Its primary focus is how the transformation of the Humboldtian tradition gave direction to debates around higher education. By combining approaches from intellectual history, conceptual history and the history of knowledge, the study investigates the ways in which Humboldt’s ideas have been appropriated for various purposes in differ

As a part of a democratic demand for transparency in urban development processes it is important that design professionals hold the ability to scrutinize their own work process, and at certain stages let go of predefined ideas of future realities. The work of Sandra Kopljar’s dissertation revolves around how design professionals perceive options for design in such situations. A basic assumption th

The functional relation between receptive fields of climbing fibres projecting to the C1, C3 and Y zones and forelimb movements controlled by nucleus interpositus anterior via the rubrospinal tract were studied in cats decerebrated at the pre-collicular level. Microelectrode tracks were made through the caudal half of nucleus interpositus anterior. This part of the nucleus receives its cerebellar
