Habitat destruction (evidenced in land use change) represents one of the biggest threats to environmental resources and biodiversity. In the tropics, this threat is maximized as deforestation frontiers have expanded into natural ecosystems at increasing rates over the last decades for agricultural cropping and livestock husbandry. Protected areas have been conventionally established against this g

Hemliga tvångsmedel är ett fragmenterat och komplext område inom svensk rätt. Lagstiftningen är utspridd i flera olika lagar med en stor mängd korshänvisningar. Dessutom görs en åtskillnad om hemliga tvångsmedel företas inom ramen för en förundersökning eller i preventivt syfte. Anledningen till att lagstiftningen ser ut som den gör torde vara på grund av den fortgående teknik- och samhällsutvecklSecret coercive measures are a fragmented and complex area within Swedish law. The legislation is spread across several different laws with a large amount of cross-references. In addition, a distinction is made if secret coercive measures are carried out during a preliminary investigation or for preventive purposes. The reason why the legislation looks this way is most probably because the ongoing

I denna uppsats analyserar jag den interpersonella metafunktionen i tre faktaböcker för barn som handlar om vikingar. Uppsatsens syfte är att med hjälp av multimodal analys av omtal och tilltal samt kommunikativa handlingar undersöka vilka möjligheter till identifikation och interaktion som erbjuds böckernas läsare. Analysen undersöker huruvida böckernas framställning av sitt innehåll präglas av n

Tvister i dispositiva tvistemål kan genom avtal mellan parterna avgöras i ett skiljeförfarande. På arbetsrättens område råder frihet för parterna att avtala om ett sådant men det kan anses oskäligt i vissa fall. Det uppställs krav på synlighet när det kommer till klausulens placering i det aktuella avtalet. Detta krav uppställs i EU-direktivet 91/533/EEG, 1991. Detta innefattar även så kallad traDisputes in dispositive litigation can be settled by parties in an arbitration procedure regulated by the parties' agreement. Within labour law, the parties are free to agree on such a matter, but it can be considered unreasonable in some cases. There is also an obligation for the employer to inform the employee of the presence of an arbitration clause or a reference to such a clause in a col

I syfte att säkerställa den grundläggande rätten till skydd av data samt att motverka fragmenteringen av dataskyddsrätten inom EU infördes den allmänna dataskyddsförordningen, ’GDPR’. För att personuppgiftsbehandling ska vara tillåtet under GDPR, krävs det rättslig grund, exempelvis samtycke. För särskilda behandlingsändamål inom elektronisk kommunikation fastställer ePrivacy-direktivet att enbartAs a means to safeguard the fundamental right to data protection in light of the rapid advancement of use of technology and to address the fragmented implementation of data protection, the GDPR was introduced. For processing of personal data to be lawful under the GDPR, processing must have a legal basis, such as consent. The ePrivacy Directive establishes that consent is the only valid legal basi

Den tekniska utvecklingen och förändrade arbetsformer gör att det i dag är enklare än någonsin för arbetsgivare att kontrollera och övervaka arbetstagare. Under senare år har det blivit allt vanligare att arbetsgivare övervakar arbetstagares elektroniska kommunikation. Med elektronisk kommunikation avses arbetstagares kommunikation via användningen av arbetsgivares IT-utrustning och internetanslutDue to technical developments and changed forms of working, it is now easier than ever for employers to control and monitor employees. In recent years, it has become increasingly common for employers to monitor employees’ electronic communications. Electronic communication refers to employee communication via the use of the employer’s IT equipment and internet connection. The most prevalent form o

Denna uppsats syftar till att undersöka och analysera diskussionerna kring det svenska deltagandet i den transatlantiska slavhandeln i slutet på 1700-talet och debatten om avskaffandet av den svenska slavhandeln och slaveriet i mitten på 1800-talet. Detta görs med hjälp av en rättshistorisk metod med analytiskt inslag. När den svenske löjtnanten Ulrik Nordenskiöld lämnade in sin skrift rörande eThis essay aims to examine and analyze the discussions of the Swedish participation in the transatlantic slave trade at the end of the 18th century and the debate concerning the abolishment of the Swedish slave trade and slavery in the middle of the 19th century. To examine this topic, a legal historical method with an analytical element will be used. When the Swedish lieutenant Ulrik Nordenskiöl

Enligt nyligen publicerade vetenskapliga rapporter blir planeten varmare i en takt aldrig tidigare skådad. Om inte utsläppen av växthusgaser minskas kraftigt så kommer temperaturmålet på 1,5 °C som fastställdes i Parisavtalet att överskridas. Även om alla påverkas av klimatförändringar på ett eller annat sätt så är barn särskilt sårbara för effekterna. Unga generationer idag kommer också att få taAccording to recently published scientific reports, the planet is getting warmer at an unprecedented rate. The temperature goal of 1,5°C set in the Paris Agreement will be exceeded unless deep reductions in greenhouse gas emissions are made. While everyone feels the effects of climate change, children are particularly vulnerable to them and will also be left with the impacts for a longer time. Con

Trots att lagstiftningen kring att avskilja en utlänning från andra som hålls i förvar har funnits en längre tid har detta varit ett område som är föga behandlat inom olika rättskällor. Detta framstod för mig som något konfunderande och syftet med denna uppsats var därför att undersöka hur rättsläget kring beslut enligt 11 kap. 7§ utlänningslagen ser ut. Uppsatsen hade även som syfte att undersökaEven though the legislation around separating a foreigner from others who are held in custody has existed for a long time, this has been an area that is little treated in various legal sources. This appeared to me to be somewhat confusing, and the purpose of this essay was therefore to examine how the legal situation regarding decisions according to 11 kap. 7§ utlänningslagen. looks like. The essa

Den här uppsatsen är ägnad en studie i rättsligt ansvar på grund av skuld. De två subdisciplinerna skadeståndsrätt respektive straffrätt möts i fråga om ett rättsligt ansvar – en rättslig skyldighet – att ofrivilligt prestera någonting på grund av rättsordningens underkännande av ett visst tillvägagångssätt. Men på vilken grund vilar denna skyldighet? Inom civilrätten talas allt som oftast om skulThis is a study regarding legal liability due to guilt. The two sub-disciplines of tort law and criminal law meet in terms of a legal responsibility – a legal obligation – to involuntarily perform something due to the legal system's disapproval of a certain course of action. But on what basis does this obligation rest? In civil law, the debt is most often spoken of as the obligation that follo

Queue latency is a fundamental part of end-to-end latency and ensuring low end-to-end latency is crucial for a good quality of service in the upcoming 5G and 6G applications. In this work we present a model capturing the essential dynamics of an end-to-end cellular system upon which we derive a control structure that is suitable for tractable analysis, seeking to mitigate queue latency and provide

Autonomous docking of marine vessels presents challenges different from the ones faced when travelling at open sea or in an archipelago. External disturbances due to the varying environment and accurate positioning at low speed are examples of these kinds of challenges. The aim of this work has been to develop and implement an autopilot algorithm for docking. This was to be done for a specific mar

This report investigates what defensive and attacking strategies are most efficient in an organized attack situation in football. Defensive shape, defending player synchronizations, number of passes, types of passes and other variables are tested to see which methods statistically generate more and better goal scoring opportunities. Data from the Eredevise (highest Dutch football division) 2021/20

This paper aims to investigate the effect of the major events of the U.S. War on Terror on the stock market. This is done by replicating an event study by Hudson and Urquhart (2015), which analyzes the effects of World War II events on the stock market returns. We develop a method to determine which major events that were most important in this war and investigate the relationship between the even

This thesis is an explorative discussion on the potential of narrative when working with architecture in a historical context. What role does narrative play when architects work with historical buildings & sites? Which narratives are well-represented & which ones are not? How can we work with narratives to make the process more inclusive? The first introductory phase consists of a case st

I den här kandidatuppsatsen undersöks bruket av mentala verb bland L2-talare av japanska. Teoridelen behandlar den betydelse som evidentiella markörer och Kamios teori om informationsterritorium har för ämnet. Därefter redogörs för den kvantitativa studie som har utförts i form av en korpusundersökning. Den genomförda studien har hämtat sina data från en inlärarkorpus och försökt identifiera av vi

As computer systems grow larger and more complex, the task of maintaining the system and finding potential security threats or other malfunctions become increasingly hard. Traditionally, this has had to be done by manually examining the logs. In modern systems, this can become infeasible due to either the large amount of logs or the complexity of the system. By using machine learning based anomaly

Over the last decades, reporting on sustainability has become an integral part of corporate social responsibility (CSR), as a way for companies to ensure and report on sustainable development alongside their operations. In achieving sustainable development globally the reduction of gender inequality is widely regarded as crucial, and with the UN 2030 sustainable development agenda specifically cal

Using Mauritania as a case study this thesis compares the decline of two forms of coercive labour, slavery and servitude, to understand how masters’ incentives differ depending on property right and thus affect conditions for decline. By re-analysing sociological research through an economic lens, this thesis offers a new angle on Mauritania’s emancipation process. It is suggested that changed mar

This thesis will examine the question of whether the UK’s use of nationality deprivation as a security measure is in accordance with its obligations under international human rights law. As the UK has defended its use of such measures through reference to the traditional reservation of nationality matters to the sovereign preserve of states, a short history of the extent to which international law
