The popularity of voluntourism (volunteer tourism) over the last couple of decades has developed rapidly into a global phenomenon. The concept of voluntourism seeks to align tourism with development initiatives occurring often within the Global South with the assistance of volunteer sending organisations (VTSOs). At first glance, voluntourism is seen as distinctly noble in its intentions with altr

Med 1920 års giftermålsbalk (1920:405) introducerades ett nytt system för makars egendomsförhållanden i svensk rätt. I denna ordning, som utgör gällande rätt än i dag, betonades makars självständighet genom bevarandet av den individuella äganderätten efter äktenskaps ingående. En rätt att vid den äktenskapliga gemenskapens upplösning få vara med att dela på den andra makens förmögenhetsvärde, giftWith the introduction of the Marriage Code (1920:405) in 1920 followed a new property regime for spouses in Swedish family law. This regime, which is in effect today still, emphasised the spouses’ remaining independence after entering of marriage through a remaining individual property ownership. Moreover, a right to share the value of the other spouse’s property at the dissolution of marriage, th

En mänsklig rättighet beskrivs som en så fundamental rättighet att varje enskild anses kunna hävda den gentemot det allmänna. Trots det ansågs det inte finnas något behov av ett mellanstatligt skydd innan andra världskriget. Då ansåg man att det var varje stats ensak hur de behandlade sina medborgare men efter andra världskriget aktualiserades nya krav. Detta ledde till att Europarådet bildades 19A human right is described as such a fundamental right that every individual is considered to be able to claim it against the public. Before the Second World War the general opinion was that there was no need for an intergovernmental protection. At this time, it was considered to be every states responsibility how they treated there citizens, but after the Second World War new demands were made. T

Att dika skogar till förmån för bland annat bättre tillväxt kan påverka och förändra faktorer som marktemperatur och markfuktighet vilka är de viktigaste faktorerna för markrespirationen och flödet av koldioxid till atmosfären. Markrespirationen svarar för huvuddelen av koldioxidflödet till atmosfären från ett markbundet ekosystem. Koldioxid är en viktig växthusgas och små förändringar av flödet kDitching forests in favor of for example better tree growth can affect and change factors such as soil temperature and soil moisture. Those are the most important factors for soil respiration and the flow of carbon dioxide (CO2) into the atmosphere. The soil respiration accounts for the major flux of CO2 to the atmosphere from the terrestrial ecosystem. CO2 is an important greenhouse gas and small

Grönlands inlandsis utgör världens näst största färskvattensreservoar. Forskning har visat att Grönlands inlandsis förlorar mer och mer massa, vilket också bidrar till den stigande havsnivån, i kombination med andra faktorer. Avrinningen förväntas också öka i framtiden på grund av den globala uppvärmningen. Hur mycket massa som lämnar Grönlands inlandsis beror på den totala massbalansen. Den totalThe Greenland Ice sheet (GIS) is the second largest ice sheet on Earth and thus stores a large amount of Earths freshwater. Because of climate change and the Arctic amplification, GIS is experiencing changes and increased melt rates. The total mass budget determines the amount of sea level rise caused by input from freshwater from the GIS. Surface mass balance (SMB) plus the dynamic mass losses fr

The aim of this study was to examine what junior and intermediate level school teachers con-sider to be their responsibility in regards to actively paying attention to children who are vic-tims of domestic physical and/or psychological violence.

The aim of the conducted study was to analyse how care managers are using their discretion and the frontline practice in needs assessment and decision-making regarding elderly people applying for special forms of accommodation for older persons in need for special support, so-called “retirement home” (Social Services Act, 2001:453). The study was done with qualitative methods with semistructured i

The MAX IV synchrotron light source in Lund, Sweden is being commissioned for full operation in late 2017. The HIPPIE beamline will provide research groups with a state of the art machine for ambient pressure photoelectron spectroscopy. The beamline con- tains a range of diagnostic instruments that measure the status of the beam within the beamline. These tools are used in combination with methodi

Following the UNHCR:s launch of the #IBelong Campaign to End Statelessness by 2024 in November 2014, a Global Action Plan to End Statelessness: 2014 – 2024 was adopted urging states to undertake ten actions to end statelessness, including to facilitate the naturalization of stateless migrants. While the facilitated naturalization of stateless persons would certainly reduce the occurrence of statel

Urbanization is a process where rural population move to urban places for better job opportunities and facilities. This is a natural process and more or less unavoidable. But when this process takes place rapidly and at large -scale, the urban cities will undergo various changes that will impact the environment. Rapid and large-scale urbanization is mainly observed in developing countries of Asia

Det svenska skolväsendet har den senaste tiden genomgått många reformer och förändringar med syfte att stärka elevers måluppfyllelse och på så sätt skapa grunden för ett välmående samhälle. En av de senaste reformerna är förstelärarreformen som trädde i kraft 2013. Med hjälp av Evert Vedungs teori om implementeringsprocesser, Lennart Lundquists teori om förstår, kan och vill och Anders Sannerstedt

Avtalsrätten i hela världen styrs av begreppet pacta sunt servanda . Ett problem som kan uppstå när ett avtal ska tolkas är att parterna anser att avtalet kan tolkas på olika sätt. Det blir ännu svårare när det gäller bilaterala skatteavtal eftersom stater har internationella skyldigheter samtidigt som begreppen i avtalen tolkas på olika sätt i de olika staterna. Denna uppsats är en komparation meContract law is governed by the concept of pacta sunt servanda . A problem that can arise when a contract is to be interpreted is that the parties believe that the agreement should be interpreted in different ways. It becomes even more difficult when it comes to bilateral tax treaties when states have international obligations while terms in the tax treaties are interpreted differently in differen

Uppsatsen tar avstamp i den ökning av människor som vill söka asyl i Europa som skett under hösten 2015 och våren 2016 och medlemsstaterna i EU:s åtgärder för att hantera detta. Dessa åtgärder består bland annat av stängda gränser, resande av taggtrådsstängsel, upprättande av gränskontroller och transitzoner och genomföranden av snabba gränsförfaranden. Förfarandena har kritiserats för att strida This thesis starts of in the increase of people seeking protection in Europe in the autumn 2015 and spring 2016 and on EU member states actions to handle this. These measures consist, inter alia, of closed borders, erecting barbed wire fences, the establishment of border controls and transit zones and implementation of rapid border procedures. The procedures have been criticized as contrary to the

Under de senaste femtio åren har de europeiska kapitalmarknaderna blivit allt mer integrerade. För att garantera allmänhetens förtroende, för att förhindra framtida finanskriser och för att nå den ekonomiska effektiviteten på marknaden, är det viktigt att det finns harmoniserade förbud mot marknadsmissbruk. En vanlig form av marknadsmissbruk är handel med insiderinformation, som kan leda till stoDuring the last fifty years, the European capital markets have become increasingly integrated. In order to ensure public confidence, to prevent future financial crises and to reach economic efficiency on the market, it is of importance that there are harmonised prohibitions against market abuse. A common form of market abuse on the European market is trading with inside information, which can lea

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.

Today, the world contains an unimaginably massive amount of digital information, increasing ever so rapidly and bringing about a wide range of opportunities across industries such as predicting future trends, combating crime to name a few. As a result, more and more organi-sations are investing heavily in Business Intelligence (BI) with the hope of gaining insights through data and analytics and h

Antibiotikaresistens är ett växande problem som orsakar både långvarig sjukdom och dödsfall världen över. Trots att man kan se antibiotikaresistens som ett säkerhetshot är det ofta förbisett i säkerhetsstudier. Denna uppsats gör en säkerhetsanalys över antibiotikaresistens, undersöker huruvida det kan inkorporeras i teorin human security och diskuterar olika lösningar på problemet. De specifika sj

Within the cultural imaginary of video games, armed conflicts have always occupied a central space. Their subject material, as well as technologies and visual techniques, are often based on historical and present-day conflicts, often involving US Armed Forces, subcontractors or intelligence agents. US actors and interests disproportionally occupy the privileged position of protagonist, which has c

As the capacity of our planet to sustain the needs of future generations is deteriorating at an unprecedented rate, the role of innovation, research and development is becoming increasingly important. While the restrictions imposed on economic growth by the environment have been extensively examined and subject to much debate, the emerging concept of eco-innovation has not gained similar attention
