I sökande för övergångsrättvisa kan folkgrupper som har blivit utsatta för grova övergrepp använda beteckningen folkmord. Tre stater som har valt denna angreppsätt är Estland, Lettland och Litauen. Fokus ligger på det sovjetiska våldet gentemot dessa länders etniska befolkning fr.o.m. år 1939, då Sovjet och Tyskland ingick icke-angreppspakten t.o.m. år 1993 när sista sovjetiska trupper lämnade Lit

Föreliggande uppsats behandlar synen på första världskriget i ett antal konservativa svenska dagstidningar och tidskrifter. Syftet är att undersöka modernitetskritikens roll i de tolkningar av kriget som kom till uttryck i detta sammanhang. Uppsatsens frågeställning tar avstamp i ett tämligen omfattande internationellt forskningsläge, i vilket den anmärkningsvärt höga grad av entusiasm som många eThis thesis examines how the First World War was viewed and interpreted in a number of conservative Swedish newspapers and periodicals. More specifically, the aim is to analyze the role that the critique of modernity had in these interpretations. I draw on an extensive range of international historical research on how the war was interpreted by intellectuals in the belligerent countries. In many o

In 2008 the National Library of Sweden made a decision to change the Swedish classification system SAB to the internationally used Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC), a decision that was supported by the Swedish Library Association that recommended all Swedish libraries to make the change. The main reasons and arguments were internationalisation and rationalisation; less time should be laid on cla

I detta examensarbete analyseras vilka möjligheter det finns att utforma ett energisystem som helt eller delvis ska försörja ett planerat bostadsområde i Höllviken. Energisystemet ska endast bestå av lokala och förnybara energikällor. De tekniker som valdes att studera var vindkraft, vattenkraft, geotermi och solenergi. Arbetets fokus låg mest på områdets förutsättningar och vilken årlig energipot

Planeters omloppsbanor är, trots att det kanske verkar så på en tidsskalan som ett mänskligt liv, inte oförenderliga. I planetsystem med två eller flera planeter så påverkar planeterna på varandras omloppsbanor med deras gravitation. Planeterna växelverkar med varandra och ett utbyte av energi och rörelsemängdsmoment sker. Rörelsemängdsmoment är motsvarigtheten till rörelsemängd för saker i rotatiDetection of Earth-mass planets on orbits around 1 AU with the radial velocity method has so far not been possible, the Doppler velocity they induce on their host star is too small to be detected. Planetary systems detected with the radial velocity method might then contain undetected Earth-like planets. One such planetary system is HD37605, which contains a star similar to the Sun and two gas gia

Abstract: This study develops, presents and evidences a belief model of institutional change. Drawing on a range of theoretical approaches from institutional economics, the model states that institutions change when an environmental factor alters the beliefs of the population or the elites. Further, a society will only be internally stable when the beliefs of these two groups align, and will only

Industrial gas turbines are widely used in different applications. These can be divided into two main categories; power generation (PG) and mechanical drive (MD). To be able to predict the performance of the system, Siemens has during the years developed simulation models for both steady state and transient operation. These models are mainly designed for PG, so there is a need for new MD models. A

Despite increased globalization since the 1980s in many sectors remained the textile and clothing trade regulated through country-specific import quotas. In 2005, they were terminated by the Agreement on Textiles and Clothing (ATC). Subsequently it was expected that mostly China would gain in worldwide exports while preferentially treated countries and countries facing fewer restrictions would not

This report was made in order to evaluate the safety of persons within the hotel Scandic Arvika in case of fire. Except for the hotel rooms, Scandic Arvika is also arranging conferences and festivities throughout the year. The building was constructed in 1815 and has since then been updated with several changes which have made the evacuation situation of the hotel complex, and therefore this is th

India has yet to build 70% of the buildings that will exist in 2030. The housing industry in India has been growing rapidly in an effort to keep up with increasing urbanization, population growth and aspirational consumption. Its growth is accompanied by a large ecological footprint, given the resource intensive processes involved and the large amount of greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) produced. St

Värmland in south central Sweden lies across the established zone of aquatic-terrestrial transition of the Scandinavian Ice Sheet margin during its rapid final retreat following the Younger Dryas. Recently acquired LiDAR data across Värmland allows more highly detailed observation and analysis of glacial landforms formed during this stage than has previously been possible. This study synthesises g

I denna uppsats undersöks översättningen av anföringsuttryck med bestämning inom hög- och lågprestigelitteratur. Fokus ligger på anföringsuttryck innehållande anföringsverbet said som åtföljs av en bestämning av någon form, till exempel ett sättsadverb, eftersom Gellerstam (1996) har formulerat en hypotes om att den här sortens dialogformel har ett lägre stilvärde på svenska än på engelska. Uppsat

Given the recent predominant role of technology and the extensive use of smartphones in today’s society, the mobile device has become a major part of consumers’ daily lives. As a result, the lines between humans and technology have become blurred, where the effectiveness of interpersonal interactions at the service encounter in retail stores has been questioned. The researchers thus identified a k

There is an increasing need for companies to showcase and communicate their Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives to stakeholders, yet the majority of former research on CSR communication provides little insight into how CSR is communicated to internal stakeholders. This thesis aims to understand from an employee and managerial perspective how a Swedish CSR frontrunner communicates its

Results show evidence of carry with the USD being the target currency, while the others being the funding currency. However, the AUD shows specific traits of carry

More than 50 percent of Jamaican households are remittances receiving. Remittances generally form a source of supplemental household income by helping households cover expenses such as utilities,healthcare, education etc. Studies have focused on its reaction to economic shocks, structural changes, its use as insurance or safety net or generally just observing trends. This study employs propensity

This thesis investigates the political-economic context that underlies the Korean Emissions Trading Scheme (KETS). The idea of trading carbon as a commodity in the carbon market has been embraced by many regions to reduce carbon emissions and to mitigate climate change. The government of South Korea has started to implement the emissions trading mechanism since 2015 to curtail the national greenho

En ökad mångfald kan leda till att religiösa frågor i arbetslivet får en ökad aktualitet och att en individs rättigheter och krav då ställs mot arbetsgivarens verksamhetsintresse och dennes rätt att leda och fördela arbetet. En arbetstagares vägran att utföra en viss arbetsuppgift på grund av religion eller samvete måste då vägas mot arbetsgivarens arbetsledningsrätt och andra eventuellt motståendAn increased diversity in the work force has caused religious questions to become increasingly important and this may lead to a conflict between an individual’s rights and demands and the employers’ managerial prerogative. An employee’s refusal to perform a duty, based on religious or conscientious beliefs, must then be weighed against the employer’s managerial rights and other possible conflictin

Bakgrund: Sjukskrivning kan innebära personligt lidande och kostnader för samhället. Individens attityder och förväntningar har betydelse för hur lång sjukskrivningen blir. Den förändringsprocessen arbetsåtergång innebär behöver anpassas till de omständigheter som finns i individens liv. Detta kan vara yttre omständigheter som den sociala situationen och arbetets art, men även individens inre föruBackground: Sick leave can lead to personal suffering and costs for society. Individual’s attitudes and expectations have an impact on the duration of sick leave. The changing process that return to work implies needs to be adapted to the individual’s circumstances. These can be circumstances such as social situation and the nature of the work , but can also depend on the individual’s precondition
