Temporära diplomatiska beskickningar mellan stater regleras internationellt genom ”The Convention on Special Mission”. Genom konventionen regleras också vilken typ av immunitet som gäller för ad hoc-diplomater. Temporära beskickningar har oftast ett specifikt syfte och verkar på uppdrag av en stat under en begränsad tidsperiod. Sverige har för närvarande inte anslutit sig till konventionen och harDiplomatic delegations sent by a state to conduct specific tasks are internationally referred to as special missions. This type of diplomacy is regulated through the Convention on Special Missions which also states the terms of immunity for the so-called ad hoc diplomats. Sweden has currently not ratified the convention and does not have any national regulation relating to special missions sent by

This thesis is an exploratory study with the aim to identify and analyze similarities and differences between different actors perspective on adequate and equal protection against accidents. The study shows that no common understanding of the meaning of the terms adequate and equal has been reached since the Civil Protection Act (LSO) was taken into use. This has caused a non-homogenous perspectiv

I uppsatsen presenteras en kartläggning av den italienska poeten och filmskaparen Pier Paolo Pasolinis teoretiska utläggningar kring filmen som "verklighetens semiologi". Resonemangen kopplas här samman med Pasolinis idéer kring "den poetiska filmen" och begreppet "filmpoesi", vilka sedan förankras i en presentation av ett antal utvalda närstudier. I dessa diskuteras

In November 2014 was the 25th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin wall. Though east and west Berlin, and Germany as a whole, have been reunited for several years, the differences between east and west are still present in different discourses. The aim of this essay is to examine the view on East Germany/GDR in the narratives of left party Die Linke, trough analysis of four texts related to anniv

The aim for this study was to examine how adolescents well-being influences their self-report of different family issues. The empirical material was based upon a study including 88 adolescents in a Swedish upper level lower secondary school that took part in autumn 2014. The theoretical approach was logical positivism with a hypothetic-deductive method where a survey consisting of psychometric mea

Purpose: The aim of this thesis is to research corporate geographic diversification to determine if cross-border M&A involving Dutch acquirers and a selection of countries are value-enhancing for Dutch acquirers. Moreover we will aim to identify variables which influence value-creation in Dutch cross-border M&A. Methodology: This paper applies a deductive approach using theories and previ

Bakgrund: I en tid med hårdnande konkurrens, där utbudet ofta är större än efterfrågan, tvingas organisationer till effektivisering. Därav har vikten av att implementera ett starkt varumärke ökat, via denna kan kunden upplysas om produkt, kvalitet samt funktion. Efter den svenska skolreformen infördes, vilket innebar att skolväsendet öppnade upp sina portar för konkurrens, har betydelsen av varumä

Environmental exposures to endocrine disrupting chemicals have been suggested as a risk factor for male genital abnormalities such as hypospadias. The aim of this case-control study was to investigate the association between fetal exposure to persistent organochlorine pollutants (POP) and the risk for hypospadias.

An exact treatment of the van der Waals interaction between two spherical dielectric bodies possessing purely classical degrees of freedom is presented. The spheres are described by multipole expansions of their fluctuating charge distributions, and the correlation between the fluctuations are taken into account using classical electrostatics and statistical mechanics. The presented approach avoid

Many bird species migrate long distances without any food intake and must optimize storage of energy with respect to minimization of aerodynamic drag. To contribute to the understanding of this issue, we investigated, by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), spatial distributions of body fat during the accumulation process before migration. We collected data from 12 Lesser Whitethroats (Sylvia curruca

We performed high-resolution simulations of two stellar collisions relevant for stars in globular clusters. We considered one head-on collision and one off-axis collision between two 0.6-Msolar main-sequence stars. We show that a resolution of about 100000 particles is sufficient for most studies of the structure and evolution of blue stragglers. We demonstrate conclusively that collision products

A quarter of DA white dwarfs are metal polluted, yet elements heavier than helium sink down through the stellar atmosphere on time-scales of days. Hence, these white dwarfs must be the currently accreting material containing heavy elements. Here we consider whether the scattering of comets or asteroids from an outer planetary system, following stellar mass-loss on the asymptotic giant branch, can

Individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) experience high levels of anxiety symptomatology with an estimated prevalence rate of anxiety disorders as high as 40 %. It is likely that anxiety is prominent in individuals with ASD throughout the life-span and that factors such as age, IQ, and ASD symptoms may influence the rates, symptoms, or anxiety subtypes. The high comorbidity rate of anxiety

This paper addresses the design of self-timed energy minimum circuits, operating in the sub-VT domain. The paper presents a generic implementation template using bundled-data circuitry and current sensing completion detection. To support this, a fully-decoupled latch controller has been developed, which integrates the current sensing circuitry. The paper outlines a corresponding design flow, which

The multihadron production in the reaction e(+)e(-) -> e(+)e(-) + hadrons has been studied for the first time at LEP2 energies with both scattered e(+) and e(-) detected at very low Q(2), measured by the DELPHI VSAT. A reasonable agreement between data and full simulation is demonstrated and the total gamma gamma hadronic cross-section is estimated for the gamma gamma center of mass energy up to 1

This study presents evidence from event-related potentials for the use of both right- and left-edge boundary tones as cues for syntactic structure during online speech processing. A temporal model for the neurophysiological processing of prosodic features is outlined.
