With the changing nature of conflicts and due to the lack of internationally declared principles of just and unjust wars, this thesis argues th

Sverige har sedan en lång tid tillbaka hållit en hög ambitionsnivå och ansetts vara ett föregångsland på djurskyddsområdet internationellt sett. Men hur påverkas då rättsområdet av ett internationellt samarbete där plötsligt andra intressen och värden hamnar i förgrunden? I samband med det svenska inträdet i EU 1995 lämnades särskilda försäkringar om att de svenska djurskyddsreglerna skulle behåll

Up until the 1st of April 2016 the Swedish Hunting Regulation contained a ban on appeals, meaning that the question of whether the conditions for licensed hunting for wolves were fulfilled or not, could not be reviewed by a court.

Uppsatsen analyserar den svenska utrikespolitiken efter regeringen deklarerat införandet av en feministisk utrikespolitik. Uppsatsen använder en diskursanalys för att skapa förståelse för hur utrikespolitiken är formad. Uppsatsen analyserar diskursen om feministisk utrikespolitik genom studier av ett urval av regeringens egenproducerade offentliga material. Detta görs även för att synliggöra de un

The thesis purpose is to validate a set of functionalities of MassMotion. MassMotion is an evacuation model that can simulate the pedestrian movement in a 2D environment and visualize it in a 3D environment. Three tests were proposed to examine different functionalities which are: pedestrian walking behaviour where total arrival time, flow rates and density are examined, pre-evacuation times that

Syftet med denna studie har varit att undersöka hur jordmånens egenskaper influerar arktisk växtlighet under en tid av globala temperaturförändringar. Vi behöver veta mer om hur olika faktorer kan påverka förhållandet mellan temperaturökningar och växtlighetens respons, då det ger oss en bättre förståelse för arktiska ekosystem och deras känslighet för förändringar. En högarktisk population av PapLinking changes in the vegetation cover with factors that can moderate the effects of climate change is central to our understanding of Arctic ecosystems and their susceptibility to change. The aim of this study has been to investigate the moderating effects of soil conditions. A High Arctic population of Papaver radicatum was studied in relation to the prevailing surface temperature, active layer

Genom en feministisk kritisk diskursanalys granskar denna studie Sierra Leones nationella handlingsplan för implementeringen av FN:s säkerhetsråds resolutioner 1325 och 1820. Syftet är att undersöka huruvida könade diskurser inom resolution 1325 överförs till nationella handlingsplaner samt vilken påverkan detta har för föreställningar om kvinnor och könsroller inom sektorn för fred och säkerhet.

The aim is to investigate whether gendered discourses in resolution 1325 have been included in the national action plan and provide an assessment of the impact this has had on the perception of women and gender withi

Sophisticated ecosystem models make it possible to evaluate the potential future changes of the carbon sequestration capacity of the terrestrial biosphere, as a response to the rapid environmental and climatic changes. Accuracy of model estimates is however strongly dependent on the parametrisation of driving parameters. A previous study of Wang et al. (2012) suggests, that the knowledge of the re

Passive inter-modulation (PIM) shows up when two or more RF signals are mixed together via the nonlinear passive devices. With the rapid development and expansion of the wireless com-munication networks, PIM is recognized as one of the most critical issues. Especially in the base station, where several networks systems have to share the same infrastruc-ture, a few transmitted signals are physicall

The idea with the method is to use the sound of a powerboat and a novel beamforming algorithm for array element localisation (AEL). There are strategic military advatages to this

The migration debate is discussed globally in today’s society, and countries have chosen to deal with placement of migration in different ways. Australia has demonstrated a unique way of handling migrants through their two policies. One of them places and processes migrants on the islands of Manus and Nauru in the last decade instead of conducting this vetting process on their own soil. This offsh
