The European Spallation Source (ESS) is an accelerator driven research facility under construction. Once commissioned, a linear accelerator supplies protons to a target, whereupon neutrons are generated through a process called “spallation”. Neutron beam time will be available for a variety of scientific experiments. Ionising radiation and the activation of material exposed to it is a consequence
Uppsatsen behandlar frågan kring huruvida EU:s sanktionsförfarande mot personer och enheter i syfte att bekämpa terrorism är förenligt med grundläggande rättssäkerhetskrav med fokus på förutsebarhetskravet och processuella rättigheter. Internationella sanktioner är ett instrument för att skapa fred och säkerhet samt främja demokrati och mänskliga rättigheter. Användningen av sanktionsåtgärder har This thesis addresses the question of whether EU sanctions against certain persons and entities to combat terrorism are compatible with fundamental principles of legal certainty, concentrating on predictability and procedural rights. International sanctions are coercive political and legal measures imposed to ensure peace and stability and promote democracy and human rights. The use of sanctions h
The thesis explores the interaction between finance and the state, how the conditions of that interaction has changed and how that may affect the international financial system. It combines an evolutionary approach to geopolitical theorizing and complexity theory to suggest a basic model for the system-level analysis of the interaction between states in the contemporary international financial sys
In the 1980s, it became possible for municipalities to establish political secretarial services. Since then, there has been a significant expansion of the professional group. But despite the fact that political secretaries today occupy a central position in the political landscape, there is limited knowledge about how their work is conducted. This bachelor’s thesis investigates the role of munici
Invasion, mass warfare, foreign hordes, slaughter and pure evil. When pondering these words one will usually attribute them to the traditional conception of the barbarian, and not to something as seemingly distant as Western civilization. In this paper I aim to discuss the rare combination of liberal European civilization and its relation with barbarism in general, specifically focusing on the ca

Syftet med denna studie var att analysera hur ungdomsutredare anställda av svensk polis och socialarbetare som är anställda av socialtjänster samarbetar i förhållande till fysisk placering av arbetsplatsen. Med hjälp av semi-strukturerade intervjuer med 4 utredare och 4 socialarbetare kan man säga att samarbete till stor del är beroende av hur organisationsstrukturerna påverkar kommunikationsnivånThe purpose of this study was to analyze how youth investigators employed by the Swedish police and social workers employed by social services co-operate in relation to the physical placement of workspace. Using semi-structure interviews with 4 investigators and 4 social workers it can be said that co-operation is largely dependent on how the organizational structures impact the level of communica

The notion of politicization in government agencies has been described by many researchers as a threat to our democracy. But what exactly is meant by the term politicization, and how is it understood in the debate? As an attempt to answer this question, a discourse analytical method has been applied. The results show that politicization might not have an axiomatic definition, but rather that the d
This thesis analyses the view on philanthropic organizations as it is expressed in the new law of poor relief passed in 1918 and in the discussions and motivations that underlie the law, published in 1915. By using Thomas F. Gieryns concept boundary-work the thesis analyses the different types of boundary-work that form part of the reform work of the law. The discussions that underlie the law take
The recent increase in climate warming has further increased the interest of climate policy in the European Union. In order to adapt to the climate change, policies must be implied to guarantee adaptation, and they need to be effective, even if members of the supranational organization have significant economic growth. Therefore, this research will examine what policies EU member nations, Ireland

Det senaste decenniet har flera allvarliga perioder och händelser av extremväder drabbat Europa. Tidigare studier visar att dessa händelser och perioder har ökat i antal och i intensitet och en fortsatt intensifiering är förväntad i framtiden. Extremväder såsom värmeböljor, torka och floder kan påverka vattenkvalitén i våra floder på olika sätt. Det är viktigt då flodernas ekologi är grundläggandeEurope has experienced several climate extremes during the past decades. These extreme events have increased in number and intensity and are projected to further intensify. Previous studies show that heatwaves, drought, and flood can have an impact on water quality in several ways. Drought can cause reduced dilution of nutrients, limiting oxygen availability as a result of increased water temperat
