Den teknologiska utvecklingen i samhället medför nya utmaningar i förhållande till mänskliga rättigheter. Individers beroende av internet och sociala medier utnyttjas i allt större utsträckning av aktörer som i hemlighet avser påverka den fria åsiktsbildningen. Statligt finansierad manipulation via digitala medier utgör ett särskilt oroande fenomen på grund av dess implikationer på åsiktsfrihet ocThe current digitalisation in society has brought new challenges to international human rights law. Actors aiming to covertly influence opinions are increasingly taking advantage of individuals’ dependence on the internet and social media. State-sponsored online manipulation constitutes a phenomenon of particular concern in light of its potential implications for the free forming of opinions and,

Entreprenader avser i regel omfattande, komplicerade arbeten vilka pågår under en längre tid med flertalet inblandade parter. Därutöver en förhållandena runt arbetet och arbetsplatsen sällan särskilt förutsägbara. För att en entreprenad ska bli praktiskt genomförbar måste samtliga parters tidsplaner samordnas på ett erforderligt sätt. Om en entreprenörs tidsplan senare visar sig vara ohållbar kommConstruction projects usually refer to extensive, complicated work which is ongoing for a long time with the multiple parties involved. In addition, conditions around work and the workplace are rarely particularly predictable. For a Construction Project to be practically feasible, all parties' schedules must be coordinated in the required manner. If an entrepreneur's schedule later proves

En affärsrelation regleras vanligtvis genom ett avtal mellan parterna som anger vilka påföljder som blir aktuella vid kontraktsbrott. Vid avsaknad av ett avtal eller avsaknad av specifik reglering gällande påföljdsbestämningen i avtalet får den aktuella situationen bedömas enligt lag. Den svenska civilrätten är dock fragmentarisk vilket innebär att vi inte har en allmän civillag som täcker alla tvA business relationship is usually regulated by an agreement between the parties which states which penalties will be applicable in the event of a breach of contract. In the absence of an agreement or lack of specific terms regarding penalties in the agreement, the dispute must be resolved in accordance with the law. However, the Swedish civil law is fragmentary, which means that it does not conta

Aktie- och aktiekursrelaterade incitamentsprogram är vanligt förekommande på den svenska aktiemarknaden. Programmen riktas ofta till bolagsledningen i aktiemarknadsbolag i syfte att skapa långsiktiga bolagsstyrningsengagemang i aktieägarnas intresse samt att behålla och rekrytera nyckelpersoner till bolaget. Aktie- och aktiekursrelaterade incitamentsprogram har samtidigt varit föremål för tidigareShare and share-based incentive programs are commonly used by publicly listed Swedish companies. The incentive programs are often directed towards company executives, in order to increase long-term executive performance and align the interests of company executives and shareholders. However, such incentive programs have been subject of previous corporate governance failures, which have threatened

The EU is home to uncountable media outlets whose narratives are vastly impacted by their national identity. Yet, in recent years, Europe witnessed a growth in transnational media. While the European public sphere is vastly researched, little attention has been paid to these newly established newsrooms. This master’s thesis seeks to investigate the framing by the pan-European press. Aside from det

Forskningsfråga: Hur upplever medarbetarna att vanor har påverkats till följd av distansarbete och dess inverkan på organisationen? Syfte: Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka hur distansarbete påverkar medarbetares välmående och vilka konsekvenser detta kan tänkas få för organisationen. Metod: Den vetenskapliga utgångspunkten i vår studie är en kvalitativ studie med semi-strukturerade inter

The annual number of events with precipitation over 50 mm/h have increased from 1970s and this trend is likely to be continued due to climate change in Kyushu, Japan. Therefore, it is important to recognize what kind of meteorological fields have contributed to the occurrence of heavy rainfall events and to reveal whether it is possible to diagnose heavy rainfall risk. Firstly, this study combines

Climate change poses major threats to both the planet and human welfare. As more than 60% of the global greenhouse gas emissions can be derived from household consumption, the unsustainability of our current consumption patterns is evident. In an attempt to mitigate climate change, carbon footprint calculators have been introduced aiming to raise awareness and directly illustrate the negative envi

Modular construction has recently become a renowned method of building. Many studies have been conducted on the benefits of modular construction; however, the available literature on its potential downsides is scarce. This study aims to evaluate the sources of potential embodied carbon inefficiencies of a modular multifamily residential building in San Diego, California. Quantity takeoffs and life

Research shows that people living in socially disadvantaged areas have lower trust in the judiciary system and that the willingness to testify for crimes linked to criminal networks is low. The purpose of this study is to acquire further knowledge about the police perspective on working with these problems mentioned above. Our aim is to examine how they motivate witnesses and plaintiffs to coopera

Research on dark matter has been ongoing for almost a century. Findings show that dark matter makes up 27% of the universe’s density and thus it is a crucial component of understanding how the universe came about. This thesis describes the key pieces of evidence for the existence of dark matter and its properties. An emphasis is put on the effects of dark matter on processes in the early universe.

This thesis describes the process and the approach taken to determine the current limitations and potential improvements of the GPX Porosity prototype. To continue the development of the GPX Porosity instrument, a series of comparative measurements has been performed on pharmaceutical ribbons, to understand better what are the factors limiting the optical porosity measurement precision and if oth

Background: Previous study found that 2 batches of Nopal flour supplied by the same suppliers at different time was performing different results in in vitro studies and the quality of Nopal flour might thus be different. Besides, investigation on whether the soluble or the insoluble fraction of the Nopal flour suspensions contributed to the glycemic modulation was still necessary. Method: Compo

This master thesis explores commercialization of electric road systems in urban environments, using a combined methods approach, in contrast to previous studies that have focused on long haul transportation. First, through interviews and document gathering, a stakeholder map was constructed, and the incentives of the identified stakeholders were analyzed. The thesis found disagreements between the

The 83 million year old family tree of burnet moths To classify the living world around them, early on humans started naming plants and animals in order to distinguish food from non-food, predator from prey, etc. In 1800s a practice of a more formal way of classifying the living world was started, in which using Latin names made the classification universal. The unique appearances were used to di

Conductance was calculated for trapezoidal nanowires with different forms and strengths of imperfection using kwant, a quantum transport software package that uses a tight-binding model. In this thesis it is found that increasing magnitudes of different imperfections such as surface charge and roughness roughen conductance steps, introduce resonances, and lower conductance overall with different c
