Inom det folkrättsliga regelverket för mänskliga rättigheter är förbudet mot tortyr absolut och okontroversiellt. Trots de betydande insatser som gjorts för att bekämpa tortyr, kvarstår det dock som ett allvarligt och utbrett problem, delvis på grund av att faktisk straffrihet förblir vanligt. Universell jurisdiktion har därför identifierats som ett verktyg för att försöka säkerställa straffrättslWithin international human rights law, the prohibition of torture is absolute and uncontroversial. However, despite considerable efforts to end it, torture remains a pervasive problem all over the world, in part due to the widespread impunity for such acts. Many have hence identified universal jurisdiction as one of the ways whereby accountability for torture may be enhanced. The present thesis ex

While carbon emissions hit an all-time high in 2019 and are expected to grow, it is important to explore strategies for reducing emissions and mitigating climate change. A potential focus for curbing emissions is the flying sector, since air travel is one of the most carbon-intensive activities an individual can engage in. Among air travelers, frequent flyers yield the highest potential for saving

Additionally, the study aims to discuss the concept of tradition, and to study the three musician

Over the past few decades, Japan and South Korea have experienced unprecedented levels of population ageing brought about by the countries’ persistent sub-replacement fertility rates. This fertility decline has to be addressed in order to ensure future social stability and economic growth.

Amelogenin is a multifaced protein, playing an essential role in the formation of enamel where it directs the biomineralisation of hydroxyapatite. The self-assembling properties of amelogenin are highly applicable in the development of novel biomaterials and drug-delivery platforms, and the regenerative properties of the protein are today widely explored in clinical dentistry and wound healing.
