The core focus of the thesis is the phenomenon of viewing child sexual abuse materials on the Internet as a grave violation of human rights. The thesis is aimed to argument the criminal nature of the act of viewing child sexual abuse materials on the Internet, provide a brief analysis of its causes and effects, examine a legislative gap in protection of children's rights, and eventually seek t
År 1925 patenterade den österrike-ungerska fysikern, Julius Edgar Lilenfeld, den första fälteffektstransistorn. Han beskrev i detalj komponentens design, funktioner och användningsområden. Eftersom den dåvarande teknologin var otillräcklig, blev någon tillverkning dock aldrig av. MOSFET:en uppfannas först år 1959, utav Dawon Kahnng och Martin Atalla från Bells Labs. Den typiskt kiselbaserade kompoIn this thesis were vertical NWFETs (nanowire field-effect transistors) fabricated, and their electrical properties characterised. The main goal was to minimize the parasitic capacitances that limited the high frequency performance. The nanowires consisted of InAs/InGaAs heterojunctions, and were grown on top of Si via a buffer layer. The gate contained a finger pattern that was defined via EBL (e
In 2007, Mexico City legalized abortion in the first 12 weeks of pregnancy. By doing so, it became the first and only state in Mexico where abortion on demand is legal. In this paper, I use this natural experiment to estimate the effects of abortion legalization on child and maternal health. I perform Difference-In-Differences estimates using information from all births and deaths occurred between
Staters interventionism har legat bakom många grova människorättskränkningar. Eftersom FN-systemets vetorätt skyddar vissa stater från straffrättsligt ansvar finns det få reella utsikter för en minskning av dessa människorättsbrott. Inom det institutionella systemet är den Internationella Brottmålsdomstolen ICC och det möjliga aktiverandet av dess jurisdiktion över aggressionsbrottet – som nu befi
Through technological advancements and the evolution of e-Recruitment tools, Human Resource Management (HRM) has evolved from a traditionally analog talent acquisition process towards a digitized replicant. In this thesis we investigate and aim to make sense of current managerial challenges within the recruitment processes when using currently available e-Recruitment tools.
The issue of food waste is a growing global problem having social, environmental and economic consequences. Over the recent years, this issue has received attention at International, national, regional and local levels. One such example is the case of Malmö which, in their Sustainable food policy has identified food waste as one of the key areas to reduce Greenhouse gas emission down to 40% of 200
Sustainability science has to solve some of the most complex problems of our times. So far, the field of sustainability science is more known for its promises than its solutions. It is successful at creating knowledge but is lacking in terms of developing actionable knowledge. The transdisciplinary process incorporates practitioners and the people for whom the solution is intended in the research
In this paper, we develop a new but also under-researched measure for firms’ hedging practice: maturity. Comparison between the outputs of two sets of Tobit model using hedge ratio and maturity respectively shows that the costs of financial distress hypothesis and the financing costs hypothesis are partially supported by both hedge ratio and maturity. Besides, the economies of scale hypothesis rec
Sustainability philosophers claim that we are at the impasse of stories, finding ourselves in a blank chapter between the old and the new. The old story, characterized by separation, technological arrogance and human superiority over nature, is unfolding in an ecological crisis giving space for a new narrative defined by inter being, cooperation and balance. It has been put forward that this crisi
Syftet med detta examensarbete var att ta fram en enkel och lättförståelig hygienutbildning för nyanställda på Arla i Götene, Västergötland. På detta mejeri tillverkar Arla smör och ost och är även distribution plats för Arlas övriga produkter. När livsmedelverket genomförde en revision av livsmedelsindustrin framkom det avsevärda brister i dokumentation av uppställda rutiner. Även om hygienutbildThis aim of the thesis work was develop a simple and easily understandable hygiene education for new employees at Arla in Götene, Västergötland. At this dairy, Arla produces butter and cheese and is also the place for distribution of Arla's other products. When the national food agency conducted a review of the food industry, the significant shortcomings in the documentation of established pro
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
Vatten är en livsnödvändig resurs såväl för människor som för miljön. Globalt är vattenresurser under ökad belastning vilket resulterar i vattenbrist lokalt. Skillnaden mellan ökande vattenbehov och den naturliga gränsen för tillgången av sötvatten utmanar myndigheterna att hitta lösningar som uppfyller samhälleliga och ekonomiska intressen utan att äventyra miljöinverkan. Vattenproduktion, flöde Water is an essential resource for humans as well as the environment and water resources globally are under increasing pressure resulting in local conditions of water scarcity. The tension between increasing water demands and the natural limit to freshwater supply challenges authorities to find solutions that fulfil societal demands and economic purposes without compromising environmental integrit
The study has shown that BIM is used extensively throughout the entire construction process, with clear benefits and optimizations. The broad usage of BIM shows that all areas have streamlined and become less costly. BIM is well established in the construction process with an exception for the facility management phase. The benefits in the facility management area are well studied but not introduc
Av den svenska befolkningen är det ca 15 % som lider av födoämnesallergi. Små mängder av ett allergent ämne kan orsaka allvarliga konsekvenser. Därför har alla livsmedelsföretag i Sverige ett lagstadgat ansvar att producera allergensäkra livsmedel. Otillfredsställande hantering av allergener vid de olika produktionsstegen kan ligga till grund för allergenkorskontaminering. Goda grundförutsättninga15 % of the Swedish population suffers from food allergy. Low doses of an allergenic substance may cause serious consequences. Therefore, it is mandatory by law for all food producing companies in Sweden to produce allergenic safe food. Unsatisfactorily handling of allergenic substances in the different steps of food production may cause allergenic cross contamination. Sound prerequisites are of m
Purpose: The aim of this study is to shed a light on the possible link between CSR and PMS. We explore whether and under which conditions PMS can be used as a tool to enforce sustainability. In order to do that, we provide a set of propositions about the factors that influence the decisions of organizations to implement a PMS to realize the objectives of sustainability. Methodology: Qualitative
The field of Conceptual History is often criticized for considering only a small slice of the historical vocabulary it intends to historicize. What about the discourse of the silenced, working at home, robbed of a pen? Concepts are indicative of many contexts of meaning: in this thesis, therefore, propelled by the foregoing question and statement, it is argued that the main protagonist of German,
The thesis builds upon a critical discourse analysis and ethnographic methods such as interviews and participatory observation, in an effort to contribute with original research about how the Swedish counter radicalization project discursively constructs political engagement as “pro-violent” and “anti-democratic”, and how these constructions impacts local political practices. The analysis reveals
