Genom att erkänna ett tredje juridiskt genus påbörjade den storslagna NALSA-domen en rättslig utveckling som ämnar att främja transpersoners position i Indien. Utvecklingens senaste framsteg togs i form av tre lagförslag avsedda för att säkra transpersoners rättigheter. Huruvida lagförslagen kan medverka till positiv förändring för Indiens transbefolkning beror till stor del på hur de är formuleraThe ground-breaking NALSA judgement became the starting point of the latest legal developments towards securing transgender rights in India by recognizing a third gender. The most resent progress came in the shape of three draft bills concerning the protection of the rights of transgender persons. Whether or not the draft bills could contribute to positive change for India’s transgender community

The peacebuilding phenomenon has come to dominate the peace and security research spectra. Questions concerning what defines a successful peacebuilding mission and how to get there, is consequently widely debated. In this study a new theoretical framework is therefore developed, with the aim to try to outline some key concepts that are important to incorporate in peacebuilding missions. With outse

This thesis recognizes impunity as one of the causes that contributes to the widespread occurrence of and what motivates the use of sexual violence as a tactic of war. Based on a theoretical framework that recognises how gender based violence in conflict historically has been ignored and excluded, this thesis explores through a qualitative content analysis how this is being challenged by celebrity

End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) is a chronic kidney disease which results in lifelong care and regular dialysis treatments. It is both an expensive and extensive diagnosis that causes a lot of suffering for the patients. The workload on the healthcare system is increasing drastically, due to a population that lives longer with more chronic diseases. In this project, input data to an AI system was i

The railway makes an extensive barrier in the landscape. To lower the impact of this barrier, and to allow people to easily pass it, level crossings are implemented. A level crossing is an intersection in the same plane between railway and road. Here traffic of all sorts meet with railway vehicles, which is why level crossings are one of the most distinct points of conflict in the entire railway s

The interaction of a solid target with an ultra-high intensity laser pulse can result in the laser plasma acceleration of ions. The recent proposal of a new laser plasma ion acceleration scheme, named chirped standing wave acceleration, has created interest in a new class of ultra-thin solid target materials, either freestanding or as a part of novel compound targets. In this thesis, it is assesse

Den svenska Natodebatten kommer och går och har gjort så under lång tid. Att debattörerna för och mot Nato har skilda åsikter i sakfrågan vet vi redan. Men på vilket sätt skiljer de sig vad gäller ordval när denna fråga debatteras? Hur yttrar sig den intertextuella kontexten? Och hur ser processerna, modaliteten och de textuella ramarna ut i debattörernas texter? Ett försök att besvara ovanståen

Arbetsrelaterade skador orsakar personligt lidande och ekonomiska förluster för både företag och privatpersoner. Repetitivt arbete och statiska arbetsställningar med armarna kan leda till belastningsskador i axel- och halsregionen. Detta examensarbete har haft som syfte att utveckla ett mjukt bärbart robotsystem med Bioservo Technologies Soft Extra Muscle (SEM) teknik, som ska ge assistans vid lyfWork related injuries causes personal suffering and economic loss for both companies and individuals. Repetitive work and static postures with the arms can lead to musculoskeletal disorders (MSD) in the shoulder and neck region. This thesis set out to develop a wearable soft robotic arm lifting system using Bioservo Technologies’ Soft Extra Muscle (SEM) technology. The objective was to develop a f

So far, the Standard Model (SM) has been very successful in describing non-gravitational interactions of fundamental particles. However, many of its theoretical and experimental shortcomings remain unresolved. In collider searches, Beyond the Standard Model (BSM) signatures are expected to manifest themselves as localised excesses of events in the invariant mass lineshape of their decay products.

En två-kolonn MCSGP process för upprening av Liraglutid genomfördes i laboratorieskala. Den här processen är inte en kommersiell uppreningsprocess, utan att den är ett modellsystem med en realistisk peptidblandning och med en icke-kommersiell harts. Först modellerades processen med en konvektiv dispersiv modell för att beskriva koncentrationen genom kolonnen och den steriska massaktionsmodellen föA twin-column MCSGP process for the purification of Liraglutide was implemented at lab scale. This process is not a commercial separation step, but it is a model system with a realistic peptide mixture and with a non-commercial resin. First, the process was modeled using a convective dispersive model to describe the concentration along the column and the steric mass action model to describe the ad

År 2014 utfördes vegetationsborttagning på en del av sanddynerna i den södra delen av Ängelholms strand. Arbetet utfördes som en del av Projekt Sand Life, ett EU-projekt med avsikt att öka den biologiska mångfalden i svenska sandmarksområden. Syftet med den här studien är att undersöka hur borttagningen av strandvegetationen har påverkat områdets morfologi och utveckling från ingreppet fram tills In 2014 vegetation was removed from the sand dunes in the south section of Ängelholm beach as a part of the EU-funded project Sand Life, with the objective to improve biodiversity in Swedish sand areas. The aim of this study is to investigate how the removal of beach vegetation has affected the morphology and the evolution of the dunes, from the removal in 2014 until today (2016), including the im

In this essay I have tried to study and examine how users of illegal narcotic substances reach out for help and support on Drogakuten, a sub forum on the message board Flashback forum instead of turning to the health care system. I have tried to look at the interaction between the members to see if there is a harm reduction philosophy present on the board. I have also tried to analyze Drogakuten a

Uppsatsen syftar till att undersöka hur samhällets organisering av välfärden för människor med missbruksproblematik ser ut. Vi undrar vilken roll det civila samhällets organisationer har för målgruppen samt vad bemötande har för betydelse för välfärdsskapande insatser. Undersökningen baseras på en fallstudie på den sociala frivilligorganisationen Café Ugglan i Lund. Analysen av materialet bygger p

This report should be seen as a preliminary study which handles automation concepts, simulations and sensors. Research questions answered are: Which areas would benefit most from driver assistance, What kind of control is needed for t

This thesis investigates Stockholm Municipality’s own-price elasticity for organic milk procurement and cross-price elasticity between organic and conventional milk procurement during 2008-2013. Using log-linear specifications with fixed effects, organic milk was found in most specifications to be relatively elastic, while the cross-price elasticity between organic and conventional milk suggests t

This master’s thesis report describes the development of a new system for control and monitoring of a helium liquefaction plant which has been carried out at Kryolab, Lund University. At the plant, helium gas is purified and then cooled in several steps until it condensates. The plant is very similar to the ones constructed today, but Kryolab wished to replace the outdated control system. The new

Vad är det som gör att man begår ett brott? Vad är det för slags person som begår ett brott? Kriminella personer har alltid varit ett intresse för forskning och allmänheten. Det finns förutfattade meningar om hur en kriminell person ser ut eller beter sig. Samtidigt finns det en lika tydlig bild av hur en kvinna eller man ska se ut eller bete sig. En kriminell kvinna går emot alla förväntningar meWhat does it take for a person to commit a crime? What kind of person commits a crime? Offenders have always been interesting for both research and the society. There is a preconceived notion on how an offender should look or act like. At the same time, being a woman or a man comes with equal preconceptions. However, a female offender goes against all expectations of how an offender should act and

De humanitära interventionerna i slutet på 90-talet gav upphov till en mängd diskussioner och skapade skiljaktigheter mellan världens nationer. Till följd av detta inrättades The International Commission on Intervention and State Sovereignty (ICISS) som i december 2001 introducerade The Responsibility to Protect (R2P). Förslaget som utarbetades omfattar flera aspekter av staters ansvar att agera vThe humanitarian interventions that occurred in the late 90’s gave rise to a variety of discussions and caused divergence between the world nations. Following this the Canadian government formed The International Commission on Intervention and State Sovereignty (ICISS) which later in December 2001 introduced The Responsibility to Protect (R2P). The presented proposal by the commission comprises se

This thesis aims to investigate the results of the Nordic Swan label on mutual fund flows. As consumers starts to increasingly demand more sustainable investment alternatives, the fund distributers have subsequently started investigating new products with focus on sustainability. In October 2017, the Nordic Swan labelled their first funds containing 25 specific sustainability criteria. The funds s

This study explores an approach for adapting the bundle of capillary tubes soil model for vertical soil solute transport modelling. The soil is split into thin layers allowing vertical water flow between capillaries of differing width with concomitant advective flow of solutes. Diffusion is included to improve realism. Modelling software is developed to apply the proposed adaption. Case studies ar
