Three interviews were made with three local politicians and these interviews were then analysed using postcolonial theory. With the help of Matthew J. Gibney we identified sev

EU förbrukar och importerar mer och mer energi vilket leder till ett beroende av utländska producenter. Europa står inför stora utmaningar i och med ökad efterfrågan på naturgas. Historiskt sett har gasledningar varit den rådande metoden att transportera naturgas till Europa. Att dra en rörledning är en erkänd metod för kommunikation såsom sjöfart och flygtransport, vilket enligt jus communcationiEU is consuming more and more energy and importing more energy products leading to dependency on a limited number of foreign producers. Europe is facing big challenges with a growing demand for natural gas. Historically, pipelines have always been the prevailing way to supply gas to Europe. The laying of offshore pipelines is recognised as a method of communication like shipping and air transporta

This essay is a comparison of the American and the Swedish labor law systems regarding the right to strike. American unions generally have a tougher time than Swedish unions to get by. Not only do they have to fight the employers, the federal government does not give much support either and the union dislike is widely spread amongst the population. This goes back all the way to the beginning of th

Med verkan från den 12 februari 2009 har Sverige regler som begränsar lånemöjligheterna från utländska företag. Lagstiftningen trädde formellt i kraft den förste januari 2010 och har införts till följd av att Skatteverket uppmärksammat en ökad aktivitet av skatteplanering innefattande utländska holdingbolag.

I denna studie görs en livscykelanalys på en solfångare som Kristianstads Industri Service AB (KISAB) utvecklar. Även en mindre jämförelse görs med en solfångarstudie från Battisti, R (2005). KISAB:s solfångare har inga absorbatorflänsar utan den fungerar liknande en integrerad vattentank men med väldigt lite medium i den. KISAB:s solfångare består till 80 % av aluminium eftersom både absorbatorn This paper reports the result of a life-cycle analysis done on a solar thermal collector in Sweden. Kristianstad Industri Service AB (KISAB) is developing a solar thermal collector with a framework and absorbing plate made out of aluminium and no flow tubes. The aluminium is instead hollow and the whole area of the absorbing plate is therefore in contact with the coolant. The solar thermal collect

We used convenience sampling and recruited six social workers, all of whom specialized in intimate partner violence. We approache

Uppsatsen handlar om en oklarhet i rätten till självförsvar enligt FN-stadgan, nämligen när en väpnad attack utförd av en grupp som inte är en del av en stats reguljära armé ändå kan vara hänförbar till den staten ge-nom internationella hänförbarhetsregler. Den relevanta rätten för att avgöra om en väpnad attack är hänförbar till en stat är FN-stadgan, ARSIWA, och internationella domstolars rättsThis essay aims to clear up the obscurity of the right to self-defense in the Charter of the United Nations, and more precisely when an armed attack committed by a group that is not part of a state’s regular army is attributa-ble to the state in question by the rules of attribution in international law. The relevant legal sources for deciding whether an armed attack committed by a group is attrib

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Conodonterna var en framgångsrik och diversifierad marin djurgrupp som levde från ungefär mellankambrium (~ 500 Ma) till slutet av trias (200 Ma). Från ett fåtal bevarade avtryck vet man att djuren var långsmala, endast några cm långa och hade fenor. Avtrycken är svårtolkade, men mycket tyder på att conodonterna var förhållandevis avancerade och kanske till och Elements from the Ordovician conodont genus Protopanderodus Lindström, 1971 have been investigated to provide a model of reconstruction of the oral apparatus of this genus. In total, 4202 elements from the only five species representing Protopanderodus in the Swedish Middle Ordovician conodont fauna were included in the study. Four of the species, P. rectus, P. robustus, P. graeai and P. parvibasi

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Geologi är en ung gren av naturvetenskap. Det var inte förrän på 1800-talet som geologins ädla konst började diskuteras och detta trots att moral och religiös etik dikterade annat. Inte kunde väl jorden vara mer än 4000 år och borde inte Gud ha nämnt de där dinosaurierna i bibeln? Inte förrän mitten på 1900-talet började man till slut gräva fram ett och annat koThe mid-Atlantic ridge connects with land at the Reykjanes peninsula, Southwest Iceland. Iceland extends well over the whole ridge and allows for representative surface observations of sea-floor processes. Across the Peninsula the plate boundary is characterized by a rift zone, which encompasses leaky transform fault zone characteristics. Across a fissure swarm, connected with the Reykjanes volcan

Lagstiftningen på diskrimineringsområdet har utvecklats mycket sedan mitten av 1900-talet. Idag finns såväl internationella konventioner som regionala och nationella bestämmelser vars syfte är att motverka diskriminering inom olika samhällsområden. Den svenska nationella rätten har i stor utsträckning påverkats av EU-rätten och dess utformning. I Sverige finns idag ett skydd mot diskriminering på Legislation in the field of discrimination has developed a lot over the past decades. Today, there are international and regional conventions as well as national legislation aimed at combating discrimination in various fields of the society. EU law and its design have largely influenced Swedish law. In Sweden today, the grounds on which discrimination is forbidden are sex, gender identity or expre
