This study focuses on risks to pastoralists in Sudan, asking whether index-based livestock insurance, an innoPastoralism is a nomadic lifestyle and a livelihood system that revolves around raising livestock. By migrating seasonally in search of water and pasture for their animals, pastoralists are able to inhabit and make productive use some of the world’s harshest environments. In Sudan, where over 90% of the vast land area is covered by desert and drylands, pastoralism remains a vital feature of the co

The purpose with the government proposal, En skärpt sexualbrottslagstiftning (prop. 2012/13:111), is to correct certain shortcomings in the Swedish rape law (6 kap 1 § 2 st BrB) and thereby reinforce and increase the protection of sexual integrity and the right of self-determination. The essay examines the regulation of rape cases, particulary when the victim reacts with passivity. The government

In today society people live longer and along with the rising life expectancy chronic diseases, like dementia, will become more common. The demand on more and better assistive technology, technology that ease the everyday life for the persons with dementia, will increase. The assistive technology currently recommended by occupational therapists are mainly low-technological solutions. There exist

The study investigates employees' perceptions of trust within the Swedish Police and the Swedish Armed Forces. Trust is critical for organisational success, yet there is a lack of research comparing different dimensions of trust within these public sectors. This topic is particularly relevant given the rising threats to Sweden's national security, resulting in military rearmament and incre

The aim of this study is to identify which types of international pressures can be found in Georgia’s democratization process and to understand how international pressures and external factors promote democratization of Georgia, using a theory-testing process tracing method. An analytical framework consisting of four types international pressures; contagion, control, consent, and conditionality is

How should we respond to a criminal offence committed by a young person? It is obvious that this is a very complex question. Multiple factors play important roles: the offence itself, but also the juvenile’s background in terms of education, socialization, prior convictions, etc. Every case is unique, but the criminal legal system has to follow the principles of legal certainty and predictability.How should we respond to a criminal offence committed by a young person?

The subject of this thesis is what I call a literary friction in the dramatic. In my research project, my aim has been to deepen the understanding of this friction and to make it productive in transforming my own dramatic writing. This has resulted in two dramatic works, which are presented in the thesis. I distinguish two different qualities in my writing – the dramatic and the literary – that I

Popular Abstract in English The cell is the basic unit in all organisms. The molecular machinery in cells converts the energy in sunlight or food into a form of energy that the cell can use for physiological processes in the organism. In humans, this molecular machinery is located in the mitochondria; therefore they are often called the power plants of the cell. The molecular machines are actuallyNADH:quinone oxidoreductase, or complex I, is a large membrane bound enzyme in the respiratory chain of living organisms, that has evolved from the combination of smaller functional building blocks. The enzyme has a conserved core structure, comprising 14 protein subunits: Seven subunits protrude from the membrane and contain a flavin and eight iron-sulfur clusters. The remaining seven subunits in
