In 1996 the European Union and the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) adopted the 2°C climate target to prevent dangerous climate change and to limit the rise in global mean temperature to 2°C above the preindustrial level. If this is possible to accomplish, with increasing emission of greenhouse gases, is hard to tell. There are today many uncertainties within the conn

The horizontal principle which usually applies when it comes to international law is not more universal than the human rights they concern. At least not in all of the worlds regions. This thesis´ starting point is Africa and is based on a combination of theory of power and empirical examples from the colonial era. It argues that the power relations between the state and the individual generated un

This report contains an environmental investigation of the farming education at Svalöf’s upper secondary school in Svalöv. The work has followed the steps for an ISO 14001 certification. Two other certifications, EMAS and Grön Flagg, have also been analyzed to investigate which certification that would be most suited for this place.

In this essay, we research the ideal way to look and behave seen from two of Sweden's largest weekly magazines intended for young women, Veckorevyn and Frida. In our study we cover two issues of these respective magazines.

This essay aims to present the way in which relevant organizations in Sweden argues for who's got a responsibility towards children when they're victims of bullying in social medias. This essay does not want to examine if the way we're dealing with children who're victims of cyber bullying is effective or not, nor do I claim to put forward recommendations for a 'better way'

Syftet: Syftet med denna observationsstudie var att undersöka kommunikation på en operationssal- och postoperativ avdelning mella

De försäkringar som är involverade i fartygs financiering är av högsta betydelse för långivaren för att uppnå lägsta möjliga kreditrisk. Ett fartyg som utgör kreditsäkerhet och som har brister i sitt försäkringsskydd kommer inte vara till samma skydd för banken som var avsett om skada uppstår eller ännu värre om fartyget blir en totalförlust. Detta är extra viktigt idag då många fartygsägare beståThe insurances involved in ship finance are of vital importance for the lender to achieve as small credit risk as possible. A vessel that serves as collateral for a loan and lacks adequate insurance cover will not give the bank the protection it was meant to give if it suffers damage or even worse becomes a total loss. This is particularly important since many shipowners nowadays consist of one-sh

In January 2009 the center for Asymmetric threats and Terrorism Studies (CATS) at the national defence college in Stockholm, published a report called “Hot mot demokrati och värdegrund- en lägesbild från Malmö”. The purpose of my essay is to understand what kind of knowledge the report creates about people living in Rosengård (referred to a suburb in Malmö). In order to understand this, I will ana

En av anledningarna till att Europeiska Unionen tilldelades Nobels fredspris år 2012 är den roll som organisationen har spelat för utvecklingen av mänskliga rättigheter i Europa, trots att det finns avsevärda oklarheter kring hur stort inflytande gällande rättigheter som EU faktiskt utövar. Med utgångspunkt i den normativa institutionalismens fokus på normers avgörande betydelse för hur organisatiOne of the reasons that the European Union was awarded the Nobel peace prize in 2012 is the role that the organization has played for the development of human rights within Europe, even though there is a great deal of obscurity as for the extent of the influence regarding rights that EU is really exerting. With a starting point in the focus of normative institutionalism on the crucial significance

I denna uppsats undersöks hur grundläggande rättigheter inom EU påverkar medlemsstaternas ansvar vid tillämpning av Dublinförordningen. Uppsatsen inriktas på två huvudsakliga skyldigheter hos medlemsstaterna – skyldigheten att bedöma andra medlemsstaters skydd av grundläggande rättigheter och skyldigheten för alla medlemsstater att respektera de grundläggande rättigheterna inom unionen. MedlemsstThis essay examines the responsibilities of the Member States in the European Union under the Dublin II Regulation from a fundamental rights perspective.

Bakgrund: Personal kan skydda sig från röntgenstrålning genom att använda tillhandahållen strålskyddsutrustning. I strålskyddslagen går det att läsa att de som arbetar med röntgenutrustning ska använda de skyddsanordningar som erbjuds. Syfte: Syftet är att beskriva användandegrad, kunskaps- samt utbildningsbehov gällande strålskydd hos den perioperativa sjuksköterskan. Metod: Kvantitativ ansats an

Tidigare studier visar att reaktioner hos operationssjuksköterskor som kommit i kontakt med traumatiska patientrelaterade händelser skiljer sig åt. Arbetsmiljön påverkar såväl sjuksköterskors personliga välbefinnande som vårdkvaliteten. En psykosocial arbetsmiljö där höga krav ställs på prestation och flexibilitet med snabb omställning har starka kopplingar till stress. Även dåliga relationer till

Syftet med denna studie är att med tidsgeografi analysera valet av färdmedel. Med hjälp av enkät och konstruerade dagsprogram undersöker studien resvalen. Studien görs bland småbarnsföräldrar boende i Stenkällan, en villaförort i Malmös ytterområden och visar att dessa i stor utsträckning väljer bil. Vidare undersöks vilka tidsgeografiska skäl som ligger bakom det valet och hur kollektivtrafiken kThe aim with this essay is to analyze the choice of conveyance with a time­geographic perspective. Using a survey and constructed dayprogrammes, the study examins the means of transportation. The study is conducted among parents to young children in a suburb of Malmö showing that the car is the most common means of conveyance amongst this group. Futher the reasons, from a time­ geographic perspect

Within the broader literature on civil society organisations (CSOs) there are a number of discussions and debates concerning how to disentangle, dimensionalise, and evaluate the complex concept of legitimacy. Scholars have presented different “dimensions”, “components”, and “types” of legitimacy, as well as suggestions for how to evaluate legitimacy based on the “roles” a CSO should play within a

Despite vast existing research on apartheid in South Africa, little is known about the perspective of those who got blamed for the comprehensive violence, those who thought of themselves as confident combatants and heroes, while others judged them as criminals. This study aspires to create a more nuanced picture of these men and focuses on the perpetrators self perception concerning the political
