In this essay, I will study the Doctrine of Discovery in an Indigenous Rights perspective. The aim of the essay is to examine the legitimacy of the doctrine in light of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. To complete this purpose, I map the substance of the doctrine and analyze the relevant provisions of the declaration. In my analysis, I apply the provisions of the

The primary aim of the study was to investigate the applicability of Dunn’s sensory processing model (1997) to youth with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD). The model describes four patterns of sensory processing: sensory sensitivity, sensation avoiding, low registration and sensation seeking. The current study test whether these four processes are related to, and differentiate, OCD from anxiety

I denna uppsats undersöks vilka strategier som används vid dubbningen av filmtrilogin Gudfadern från dess amerikanska källtextsammanhang till ett italienskt måltextsammanhang. Syftet är dels att få mer information om hur översättning av flerspråkighet ser ut, dels hur det kan se ut när språkvarieteten som ska översättas är tillgänglig på det språk som det ska översättas till samt om förändringar ö

In the light of reports of decreasing litteracy among Sweden’s youth, several public studies indicate the importance of promoting reading at an early age. In this context, library activities directed at preschools has been pointed out as especially important. Although there is presently no requirement for preschools to have access to a school library, which is the case for elementary schools, the

In this master thesis project, the formation of fouling on heat exchanger surfaces in dairy processing and mainly the influence of air was examined. Based on prior experimental findings regarding the influence of air bubbles in combination with calculations based on solubility properties of air in milk, a hypothesis was stated. Milk can enter the processing system without any undissolved air, with

Background: In Sweden, mergers between Swedish parent companies and domestic subsidiaries are in most cases carried out with a continuation of the tax burden, while mergers between Swedish parent companies and foreign subsidiaries are, in principle, not. The exception is when the Swedish intra-group deduction rules apply. However, they are very limited in their scope and application. It is uncerta

Cloud computing is a new technology which has changed business and society drastically, making it possible to create products and communication aids that were previously unheard of. Without it, services such as Facebook or Google Apps would probably not exist as we know them today. This thesis explores how cloud computing affects the value propositions of e-businesses, using data collected from mu

Föräldraalienation är ett fenomen som innebär att en förälder påverkar det gemensamma barnet att ta avstånd från den andra föräldern utan grund, trots att föräldern varit god och omsorgsfull. Det uppstår oftast i svåra vårdnadstvister. Vidare kan detta anses inbegripet i umgängessabotage, exempelvis om en förälder påverkar barnet att inte vilja umgås med den andra föräldern. Barnet tillskrivs månParental alienation is a social phenomenon where a parent influences its Child to dissociate itself from the other parent without justification, even though the parent has been careful and gentle. The phenomenon usually arises in high conflict custody disputes. Furthermore, parental alienation might be considered access sabotage, for example if the parent influences the child to reject access to t

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate how a brand’s packaging design becomes iconic through entering pop culture/art. Design/methodology/approach: This paper is of qualitative nature, based on a traditional literature review along with multiple case-study research. This approach allows for deep analysis into the dimensions of iconic packaging. Finally, template analysis was made to

Oklarhetsregeln är en avtalsrättslig princip som härstammar från den romerska rätten och återfinns i flera rättsordningar och internationella principsamlingar. I Corpus Juris Civilis är den latinska formuleringen av regeln ambiguitas contra stipulatorem est och på engelska omnämns den som the contra proferentem rule. Även om oklarhetsregeln är en välkänd princip, är den kontroversiell. HD har exemThe contra proferentem rule is a legal doctrine in contract law, which originates from the Roman law. Today, the rule is known in several legal systems and is used in international collections of principles. In Corpus Juris Civilis the Latin wording of the rule is ambiguitas contra stipulatorem est and in Sweden the rule is known as oklarhetsregeln. Even though the rule is well known, it is contro

Vid den nordöstra kusten av den karibiska ön Grenada ligger en övergiven flygplats. Denna extraordinära miljö ligger i en dal mellan tropiska berg täckta av frodig regnskog. Landningsbanan är en 1,5 kilometer lång historisk startbana som möter Atlantens livfulla vatten. Grenada har redan drabbats av orkaner och andra tropiska stormar. Utvecklingen av klimatförändringar skapar oftare och mer intenOn the north east coast of the Caribbean island Grenada, there´s an abandoned airport. This extraordinary environment is located in a valley between tropical mountains covered by lush rain forest. The landing stripe is a 1,5-kilometer-long runway of history, facing the rough Atlantic Ocean. Grenada has already suffered badly from hurricanes and tropical storms. While climate changes are evolving

Marine debris is a major threat to wildlife and human health. This study examines the socioeconomic vulnerability of informal housing as arguably one of the main drivers of the abundance of marine debris in the aftermath of a tropical cyclone. Using the Abaco Islands, Bahamas, as a case, the study applies the capabilities approach to assess the societal impact of Hurricane Dorian. Findings indicat

Under år 2015 antog regeringen en ändring av brottsbalken (BrB, 1962:700) som ger rätten en möjlighet att erkänna strafflindring i fall där den tilltalade medverkar till utredningen av sin egen brottslighet (29 kap. 5 a § 1 st. BrB). Fastän ändringen hade önskvärda syften, bland annat en ökad effektivitet, är rätten att inte belasta sig själv en generell och grundläggande rättighet som inte får glIn 2015, the Swedish government adopted an amendment of the Swedish Criminal Code (brottsbalken, 1962:700) which grants the court a possibility to reduce the penalty in cases where the defendant contributes to the investigation of their own crime (chapter 29 § 5 a 1). While the rationale behind the amendment lies upon desirable arguments such as efficiency, the privilege against self-incrimination

Conventional agrifood systems significantly contribute to environmental degradation. While Community Supported Agriculture initiatives (CSAs) may provide insights into alternative agrifood systems, few studies have investigated challenges to their engagement with prefigurative processes. Through a case study of nine CSAs in South-Holland, the Netherlands, this thesis explores the extent to which C

In 2017 the Swedish government issued an official report containing proposed changes to the compulsory care legislation to strengthen the child rights perspective and provide extended knowledge to the workers within psychiatry. The aim of this study was therefore to examine the reasoning regarding the proposed changes in the comment letters following the official report of the Swedish government:

The normal approach to digital control is to sample periodically in time. Using an analog of integration theory we can call this Riemann sampling. Lebesgue sampling or event based sampling is an alternative to Riemann sampling. It means that signals are sampled only when measurements pass certain limits. In this paper it is shown that Lebesgue sampling gives better performance for some simple syst

We have recently reported Monte Carlo simulations for a system of two infinite like-charged plates in a dipolar fluid solvent (Pegado et al 2008 J. Chem. Phys. at press). The pressure as a function of plate separation qualitatively reproduces the ion-ion correlation attraction picture seen in primitive model studies, where the solvent only enters the picture implicitly through its dielectric const

The G-protein coupled receptor associated protein β-arrestin-1 is crucial for the regulation of numerous biological processes involved in cancer progression, such as intracellular signaling and cell motility. The encoding gene ARRB1 is harbored in the same chromosomal region as the CCND1 gene (11q13). Amplification of CCND1, frequently encountered in breast cancer, often involves coamplification o

The opportunistic human pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa causes a wide range of diseases. To cross host innate immune barriers, P. aeruginosa has developed efficient strategies to escape host complement attack. In this study, we identify the 57-kDa dihydrolipoamide dehydrogenase (Lpd) as a surface-exposed protein of P. aeruginosa that binds the four human plasma proteins, Factor H, Factor H-like pr

Organometallic complexes containing terminal metal nitrides and phosphides are important synthetic reagents. Laser-ablated group 6 metal atoms react with NF3, PF3, and PCl3 to form the simple lowest energy N MF3, and P MX3 products following insertion and halogen transfer, with the exception of P CrF3, which is a higher energy species and is not observed. The E MX3 pnictide metal trihalide molecul
