Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning Klimatet i region Sahel varierar på en årlig och decennielång basis. Under slutet av 1900-talet har den utsätts för en period av markant torka. Mellan 1960 och 1990 nådde nederbörden nivåer av bara 40 % av genomsnittet. På grund av detta skattas perioden en av de makantaste klimatiska fenomen i hela världen under 1900-talet. Torkan har orsakat stora konsekvenser The Sahel is a region of large interannual and interdecadal climatic variability. In the late 20th century it experienced a period of pronounced drought that lasted from the late 1960 to the early 1990s, where precipitation values reached only about 40% of the long-term mean. This is why this period counts among one of the most striking climatic phenomena worldwide in the 20th century. The consequ

Den svenska jämställdhetspolitiken utgår från ett övergripande mål om att kvinnor och män ska ha samma möjligheter att forma både sitt eget liv och samhället. Målet bygger på en tanke om att det existerar ett strukturellt och ojämlikt maktförhållande mellan män och kvinnor. Det övergripande jämställdhetspolitiska målet anknyter på så sätt till Yvonne Hirdmans teori om genussystemet och den underorThe gender equality policy in Sweden is based on a main objective of equal opportunities for both men and women to shape their lives as well as the society. The objective is founded on an idea that there exists an unequal relationship of power between women and men. Therefore, the objective also relates to Yvonne Hirdmans theory on the gender system and the subordination of women that follows from

We live in a time where there is an increasing focus on the environment, in terms of classification of vehicle emission standards and environmental zones. Along with this and the fierce market competition that exists, it is odd that a greater effort has not been made in making material-transport more effective by renewing the tarmac on our road-network. The purpose of this report is to show the sa
Det tilltagande inslaget av ett cyberelement i samhället, i såväl civila som militära kontexter, har lett till en ökande förekomst av cyberoperationer, utförda av individer, grupper eller stater; antingen direkt eller indirekt. Den mellanstatliga rätten till självförsvar utgör ett undantag till stadgans våldsförbud och förutsätter, i såväl art. 51 FN-stadgan som internationell sedvanerätt, ett väpThe increasing presence of a cyber element in our society, in civilian as well as in military contexts, has led to an increased amount of cyber operations, carried out by individuals, groups or states; either directly or indirectly.

Det här är ett masterarbete kring relationen mellan ADHD och musik, inte inom medicin. Med arbetet vill jag lyfta upp fördelar, hyperförmågor och den stora kreativa potential som ADHD ger mig som musiker. Jag fick ADHD-diagnosen först efter flera års studier på Musikhögskolan, och hade innan dess levt 30 år med bara nackdelar med ADHD. Eftersom jag var missnöjd med medicinen tänkte jag “out of theFinding my inner Nimrud - my life as an ADHD musician This is a master's thesis on the relationship between ADHD and music, not in medicine. With this work, I aim to highlight the advantages, hyper-abilities and great creative potential that ADHD give me as a musician.

Traffic accidents cause over 1.2 million deaths, and tens of millions of people are injured or disabled every year. Advanced driver assistant systems and other safety features have the possibility to reduce traffic accidents but do not account for human errors. Studies show that over 90% of all traffic accidents are caused by human errors. One way to reduce human errors is to introduce automation,
Skiljeförfarande är en alternativ tvistlösningsform i förhållande till tvistemålsprocessen i allmän domstol. Det är ett statligt sanktionerat alternativ i och med att vissa speciella rättsverkningar är knutna till skiljeavtal. Först och främst har skiljeavtal verkan av rättegångshinder efter invändning av part. En part har också möjligheten att framtvinga fullgörelse av skiljeavtalet och det finnsArbitration is a form of ADR, which is sanctioned by the legal system.
