This paper examines the nation-state as a hegemonic discourse and the democratic confederalism in Rojava as an alternative discourse in relation to the nation-state discourse. The nation-state is a hegemonic discourse in the sense that we take it for granted as the natural base for political organization in a world order built on nation-states. In 2012, a peaceful revolution was carried out by th

Going through the structural transformation processes since the 1990s, Georgia has opened its economy for export. This has been achieved by free trade agreements and governments’ attempts at promoting and assisting stakeholders. Being a “cradle of wine”, wine represents one of the most exported commodities of the country. This has been a result of partially, governments’ policy implementations, an

The turnout for the European Parliament elections has steadily increased in Sweden. Most recently, it was 51 % of the entitled voters that voted, but it is still a low figure compared to how many people that vote in the parliament election. Some interesting questions are raised in relation to the turnout. Are there differences in access to information and knowledge depending on where you live in S

Kopplade differentialekvationer förekommer överallt inom vetenskapens värld. Några sådana exempel är för beräkning av värmeinteraktioner mellan två olika material, luftflödet runt en vinge och blodflödet i ett hjärta. Ett mer specifikt exempel är raketmotorer som riktar ett kraftigt gasflöde med ett munstycke. Detta munstycke blir deformerat på grund av värme och högt lufttryck. Dessa ändringar i This thesis presents and tests the convergence rate of the Dirichlet-Neumann algorithm for two Poisson equations coupled by transmission boundary conditions. Three second order discretisation methods are used when analyzing the convergence: standard equidistant finite difference, standard adaptive linear finite element, and standard adaptive finite volume discretisation of Poisson's equation.

Over three-quarters of the world’s poor live in rural areas and many of them depend on agriculture to earn a living. In a context of climate change, Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Use (AFOLU) is addressed as one of the main sources of Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions. Hence, the sustainability transition in the agricultural sector has become one of the most prominent development areas in the 2

This study seeks to understand how non-timber forest product (NTFP) commercialisation is promoted in the Yayu Coffee Biosphere Reserve (YCFBR) in South West Ethiopia, local stakeholder perceptions and the potential of NTFP - or ‘biodiversity-based’ - value chains to address social development and forest conservation. The study was conducted based on a literature review and in-depth interviews wit

Pastörisering av drycker och flytande föda är nödvändigt dels för att göra produkten säker men också för att förlänga hållbarheten. Vid pastörisering höjs temperaturen på produkten i en värmeväxlare med värmeväxling från ett varmt medium, oftast varmvatten. Bakterier av olika slag dör vid en viss temperatur som hålls i en viss tid beroende på vilken slags pastörisering som krävs. Då en produkt skaThe purpose of this master thesis project was to compare two pasteurizers (pasteurizer 31 and 52) at Österlenmejeriet AB (ÖMAB) in Lunnarp, which is a part of Danone, France and once the differences were clear the goal was to have them equalized in the aspect of heating effects/temperature treatments/heating load and processing parameters. The products that are mainly pasteurized on these pasteuri

Community-based natural resources management (CBNRM) is often promoted a way to address natural resources challenges while empowering communities and improving livelihoods. However, empirical evidence has shown that CBNRM does not always entail inclusive community engagement or result in the equitable distribution of costs and benefits. Women, in particular, are often excluded from participating i

Syftet med skadeståndet utgår från prevention och reparation. Skadestånd ska förmå människor att agera mer aktsamt, att avstå från ett visst skadligt agerande, i syfte att undvika skador. Detta ska i sin tur leda till ett tryggare och säkrare samhälle. De dispositiva skadeståndsrättsliga reglerna i SkL har historiskt haft starkt samband med straffrätten. SkL trädde i kraft 1972 men innebar ingen sThe purpose of the tort law is based on prevention and repair. Being forced to pay damages is intended to cause people to act more cautiously, to refrain from certain harmful actions, in order to avoid injuries. This will lead to a safe and sound society. The Liability for Damages Act came into force in 1972 but meant no major change regarding the assessment of the liability for damages, it is sti

För närmare åtta år sedan, 2011, ändrade Högsta domstolen (HD) sin tidigare praxis avseende tolkningen av 1 kap. 2 § andra stycket brottsbalken (BrB) – alltså det lagrum som reglerar uppsåt vid självförvållat rus. Den nya tolkningen innebar att uppsåt i dessa fall skulle behandlas enligt vanliga regler om uppsåt. Det är således inte längre fråga om att fingera uppsåt, inte ens i någon mån. SuzanneNearly eight years ago, in 2011, the supreme court of Sweden changed its previously established practice regarding the interpretation of Chapter 1, art. 2, 2nd paragraph of the Penal Code1 where intent and self-induced intoxication are addressed. A consequence of the new interpretation was that criminal intent in such cases of intoxication should instead be tried as intent in general and thus ther

France has for a long time been affected by social movements which have now become commonplace in the society. Research interested in the specificities of this country has especially shown the importance of trade unions in the organization of the actions. However, unlike its French predecessors, the Yellow Vests movement developed and organized itself with the exclusive use of digital media, just

Exjobbet syftar till att öka förståelsen för hur beslutsfattande och samverkan påverkas av olika incitament och erfarenhet inom ramen av svensk krishantering. Därför togs följande två primära frågeställningar fram: - Är det skillnader i samverkan och beslutsfattande mellan erfarna och oerfarna personer? - Hur påverkar enkla/dubbla incitament viljan att samarbeta och utfallet av den gemensamma insaThis paper aims to increase the knowledge on how decision making is impacted by different incentives and different levels of collaboration. Experiments were carried out in a micro world called MikroRisk in groups of three students each, where half of the groups had simple incentives and the other half had double incentives. Simple incentives meant that the group members only had to concentrate on

Cosmopolitan theory has long argued that the world is becoming increasingly interconnected. Through borderless phenomena such as climate change, and through globalizing processes such as cross-border mobility and the global market, we are becoming increasingly aware of their social and political impact as global news and debates fill our social media channels. To this end, cosmopolitan theory argu

Mediation processes are becoming increasingly salient in western society, and since tourism is one of the characteristics of modern societies the tourism practices follow this increase. The increasing emphasis on the visual as a prominent sense for our understanding of the physical world has led to increase desire for photography. Social media has created platforms for new remedies of photo sharin

This thesis seeks to discover what are the consequences of the value gap, for the emerging artists and the music industry by critically evaluating the concept of value gap and what it means for the music industry. This will also lead the way to discovering how emerging artists are “making it” in the era of music streaming, and which aspects are playing a significant role in this. In addition, the

I denna uppsats undersöks svensk rätts förståelse av prostitution och surrogatmödraskap ur ett radikalfeministiskt perspektiv. Mot bakgrund av den radikalfeministiska utgångspunkten att prostitution och surrogatmödraskap är jämförbara med varandra, granskar uppsatsen hur en radikalfeministisk diskurs tar sig uttryck i SOU 1995:15 och SOU 2016:11. Genom viss rättsdogmatik, men framför allt genom atThis essay examines the understanding of prostitution and surrogacy within Swedish law, from a radical feminist perspective. Given the radical feminist standpoint that prostitution and surrogacy are phenomena comparable with each other, the essay analyzes how a radical feminist discourse is conveyed within two official reports of the Swedish government: SOU 1995:15 and SOU 2016:11. By not primaril
