The anticolonial uprising in 1920 against the British occupation of the provinces of Mosul, Baghdad, and Basra marked an unprecedented escalation in resistance and opposition to the colonial forces. While most narratives of this uprising focus on the more significant events across the lower and middle Euphrates, earlier, unsuccessful episodes of anticolonial resistance also emerged in the Jazirah

This thesis aims to explore the transnational administrative structure in the Greek hotspots, exemplified in the hotspot Vial on the island Chios. The five Greek hotspots, all located on islands in the East-Aegean, serve as the implementation point of EU Commission`s hotspot approach as well as the EU-Turkey statement. It will be shown, that the Greek hotspots are administrated in a mode of joint

I den här studien undersökte vi om det fanns en skillnad i upplevd organisationstillhörighet beroende på vilken anställningsform den anställde hade på ett konsultföretag. Den första hypotesen syftade till att undersöka om det fanns en skillnad bland konsulterna i upplevd organisationstillhörighet utifrån typ av anställningsform (tillsvidareanställning och tidsbegränsad anställning). Den andra hypoWe investigated if organizational commitment at one consultancy firm differed depending on type of employment. The first hypothesis analyzed if organizational commitment differed among consultants due to type of employment (permanent and temporary employment). The second hypothesis explored if there was a difference in organizational commitment towards the consultancy firm among in-house employees

Stora Karlsö Nya Museum är en undersökning kring hur arkitektur kan berätta om platsens själ och historia,samt en vision för hur detta kan gestaltas i en ny museibyggnad på ön.

Think tanks are a growing phenomenon in Western Europe. The majority of them possess a clear political agenda and their main goal is to spread their ideas and influence the public discourse as well as decision makers to subscribe to their ideology. This is normally done through gaining the attention of the media. However, it is not fully understood how think tanks manage to act as agenda-setters i

På 1970-talet stämde en grupp samer den svenska staten då de ansåg sig ha bättre rätt till ett geografiskt område kallat Skattefjällen. Samer är av svenska staten erkända som ett ursprungsfolk, och som en minoritetsgrupp. Skattefjällsmålet togs upp av Högsta domstolen 1981 och resulterade i ett prejudikat som sedan dess haft stort inflytande på de flesta mål som berört samers rättigheter. Syftet In the 1970s a group of Sami people sued the Swedish State claiming a better right to a geographic area referred to as the Taxed Mountain (Skattefjällen). The Sami people are recognised as an indigenous people, and a minority group, by the Swedish State. The Taxed Mountain Case (Skattefjällsmålet), that reached the Supreme Court (Högsta domstolen) in the year of 1981, resulted in a precedent that

In this essay I have analysed the documentary film Crimea - The Way Home. The film is produced and distributed by the Russian state-owned media. My aim is to analyse how the film portrays the different actors in the conflict, how the events that transpired are described and which strategies for legitimization are used. My main goal is to examine the way in which the movie portrays the events that

Domstolarnas avgörande bedömning vid sexualbrott mot barn är inte sällan att värdera barnets utsaga. Människans åldersrelaterade kognitiva utveckling, barns ofullständiga förmåga att uttrycka sig och svårigheter att förstå erfarenheter genom att sätta dem i relation till tidigare erfarenheter försvårar bedömningen av barns utsagor. Sexualbrott mot barn tillhör därav de mål som är svårast för domstThe decisive assessment of the courts in cases involving child sexual abuse is often to evaluate the testimony of the child. The humans' age-related cognitive development, children’s incomplete ability to express themselves and children's difficulties in understanding experiences by putting them in relation to past experiences complicates the evaluation of children's testimonies. Child

Denna uppsats baseras på min översättning av ett utdrag från den brittiska populärvetenskapliga boken The Particle Zoo – The Search for the Fundamental Nature of Reality av Gavin Hesketh (2016).

Somaliland on the horn of Africa is frequently presented as functioning hybrid political order. A cornerstone for Somaliland’s success was the integration of traditional authorities in

Denna kandidatuppsats undersöker implementeringsproblemet som kan uppstå i avståndet mellan Sveriges riksdag och den verkställande byråkratin. Frågeställningen besvaras främst med hjälp av de värden som presenteras i Dahls demokratiteori (2002) och Lundquists teorier om byråkratisk etik (1988 & 1998) tillsammans med de värden som återfinns i Regeringskansliets värdegrund för statliga tjänstemäThis Bachelor thesis examines the problem of implementation which can arise within the separation of the Swedish parliament and the executive bureaucracies. The question is answered mainly with help from the values presented in Dahl’s theory of democracy (2002) and Lundquist’s theories of bureaucratic ethics (1988 & 1998) together with the Government Offices’ values for civil servants. In the

Jus cogens-normer är normer som det internationella samfundet har kommit överens om är tvingande i det internationella rättssystemet. Flertalet ouppklarade problem när det kommer till dessa normer kvarstår dock i gällande internationell rätt. Den förevarande uppsatsen behandlar tre av dessa problem, nämligen om konflikter mellan jus cogens-normer är möjliga, hur de konflikterna i så fall skulle kuJus cogens norms are norms which the international community has agreed are peremptory in the international legal system. However, several issues regarding these norms are left unresolved in current international law. This thesis concerns three of those issues, namely, if jus cogens norms can conflict with one another, how those conflicts in that case could be resolved, and lastly, what they could

In recent decades, the rate of extinction of species is increasing due to human use and refinement of nature. This has resulted in a large amount of research throughout the world. Forestry today is mostly based on clear cuts, and many natural forests have been cut down and replaced with monocultured forests. This is the major reason to the loss of species. Research has increased the knowledge abo

Sverige har idag ett system med en mycket stark presumtion för villkorlig frigivning efter två tredjedelar av avtjänat fängelsestraff. Enbart den intagnes skötsamhet under sin anstaltsvistelse kan läggas till grund för att den villkorliga frigivningen ska kunna skjutas upp. En majoritet av de svenska riksdagspartierna vill ändra eller avveckla systemet med villkorlig frigivning så som det ser ut iThe laws regarding parole in Sweden consists of mandatory release of a prisoner once two-thirds of their prison sentence has been served. It is only the behavior of the prisoner while in prison that can cause the parole to be declined and delayed. A majority of the Parliament parties in Sweden wants to change or remove the system of parole as it is today. It is mostly the question of whether or no
