This study aims to examine how local governments originated from the global South, through Urban Food System Strategies (UFSS), are realizing global sustainability priorities as outlined by the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This study is based on the policy analysis of three Latin American UFSS, with the aim to detect synergies and connections between the UFSS and the SDGs. The primary c

Manly and faithful. A study of the official clerical masculinity ideology in 16th and 17th century Sweden from an age/generation perspective. Historical masculinity studies, a subdivision of gender history, has been one of the most vivid fields of research in the early 21st century. While much empirical research has been done, especially for modern periods, the theoretical concepts are by and lar

This paper describes the trigger and offline reconstruction, identification and energy calibration algorithms for hadronic decays of tau leptons employed for the data collected from pp collisions in 2012 with the ATLAS detector at the LHC center-of-mass energy root s = 8 TeV. The performance of these algorithms is measured in most cases with Z decays to tau leptons using the full 2012 dataset, cor

With increasing environmental awareness, building materials and their impact on the environment are increasingly coming into focus. This study presents a framework for comparing Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) through A1 - A5 stages from the perspective of Global Warming Potential (GWP) to assess the climate change potential of three facade systems of different building types (villas, medium-sized bui

The primary aim of this essay is to present an ontological declaration of the international system. The secondary aim is to explain the main structures and processes within and beyond the system. To accomplish the first aim I have placed special attention on philosophical and ontological matters that are not normally addressed in political science. The main instrument in analyzing the structure of

När arbetsbrist uppstår finns det en rad faktorer som påverkar vilken arbetstagare som kommer sägas upp. Enligt lag upprättas en turordningskrets utifrån kollektivavtalsområde och driftsenhet, samt principen om sist-in-först-ut tillämpas. Turordningsreglerna är semidispositiva, vilket gör att avsteg från lag kan förekomma genom kollektivavtal. Avtalet om turordning för arbetstagare hos staten, ArkConcerning redundancy, a few components occur that affect which employee whom will receive a notice of termination. According to law, the order of termination shall be established by operational units and agreement sectors. The order of termination is based upon each employee's total time of employment, though deviations may apply through collective agreements. Six collective agreements have b

Cities have a crucial importance from the sustainability point of view. More than 50% of the global population lives in cities, therefore urban dwellers’ environmental knowledge can be of critical importance. Many argue that an important part of environmental knowledge is acquired outside of a formal school setting, therefore in this thesis I explore learning processes connected to community garde

The purpose of this paper was to examine how six refugees feel about their situation in Sweden. The method used was a narrative interview technique. The respondents all claimed that they are stigmatised because they are different to Swedes in cultural, religious and behavioural ways. We also examined how they use strategies to avoid stigmatisation. The study showed that all the respondents try to

I höst kommer rymdobservatoriet Gaia att sändas upp. Ett av dess mål är att mätapositionen av stjärnor med väldigt hög noggrannhet, denna positionsbestämning kallas astrometri. Gaias noggrannhet är såpass bra att det kommer bli möjligt att även mäta hur planeter när de färdas i sina banor runt stjärnor påverkar positionen av stjärnan. Astrometri kan inte ge en fullständig bild av hur planeten rörContext: The Gaia satellite will be provide astrometry with micro-arcsecond accuracy. This will allow for the determination of the orbital elements of exoplanets with measurable astrometric signature. Astrometry alone is not be able to disentangle an ambiguity in the orientation of planetary orbits, just as radial velocity is only able to give the mass of orbiting planets combined with multiplicat

We are witnessing a paradigm shift in global environmental politics. The aim of this thesis is to understand the focus shift, from Sustainable Development to Green Economy. Both concepts emphasize three dimensions an environmental, an economic and a social dimension. Within the UN-context, Green Economy has been introduced as the leading buzzword. The language change is not only linguistically, bu

When building below ground level in cities the regulations regarding deformations of surrounding soil are very strict. When using conventional methods of calculation it is difficult to predict the occurring deformations. This is why it has become more common to use FE-modeling to determine deformations. With FE-modelling it is possible to take the interactions between soil and construction into co

Human trafficking is an alarming issue that has been discussed by many scholars and policy makers from different fields. It has been argued that poverty is one of the root causes of trafficking, making people to take any risks to improve life. The severe exploitation that occurs during trafficking experience has put victims of trafficking in a difficult situation where they are often seen as objec

This is a case study that aims to explain social media's impact on the outcome of the Egyptian revolution by examining the social and political issues. The social mobilization process intends to seek citizens' rights to sustain a civil society. Two main theories about the role of media from a social perspective and civil society are used in order to understand the rise of revolution and w

Under den svenska lagstiftningsprocessen skapas material som brukar benämnas lagförarbeten. Några av de viktigare är kommittébetänkanden, propositioner och utskottsbetänkanden. Sedan lång tid tillbaka använder sig domstolarna av sådana förarbeten när det anses att lagtexten inte ger tillräcklig ledning. I vissa fall har förarbetena en helt avgörande betydelse för domstolarnas avgöranden. FörarbetsPreparatory works such as, e.g. investigative reports, propositions, and committee reports, are created during the Swedish legislative process. The courts have, by tradition dating back many years, used these preparatory works as a source of law when interpretating acts of legislation. In some cases, preparatory works are the determinants for the courts’ rulings. The use of preparatory works has a

Sammanfattning I bekämpningen av grov och organiserad brottslighet använder sig polisen i viss mån av provokativa åtgärder. Både inom polisväsendet och i den svenska rättstillämpningen görs ofta en distinktion mellan dels bevisprovokation, dels brottsprovokation. En spridd uppfattning är att bevisprovokation är tillåtet medan brottsprovokation inte är det. Varken provokativa åtgärder, bevis- elleSummary In the fight against organised crime the police to some extent use entrapment. Both within the police and in Swedish application of the law the term of entrapment is often divided into entrapment in order to secure evidence for a crime already committed on the one hand and entrapment in order to provoke a crime on the other. A common apprehension is that entrapment in order to secure evid

Brain-machine interfaces are expected to play an important role in medicine – if a sustainable solution can be found – and so this study was performed to determine the biocompatibility of the photoresist SU-8 as well as a thin film needle design.This was done by histochemical staining with a collection of antibodies and mass spectrometry. The staining was performed on the perfused brains of four r

Avtalsbundenhet uppstår genom likalydande viljeförklaringar. När en part har givit ett anbud och en annan part en accept, har ett avtal kommit till stånd. Anbudet ska vara bindande och accepten ska vara ren och lämnas inom acceptfristen. Är så inte fallet kan det vara fråga om en sådan situation som genererar svarsplikt. Svarsplikt innebär att en part måste uppmärksamma sin motpart på att ett missBinding contracts arise from identical declarations of intent. When one party has made an offer and another party has made an acceptance, a contract has been formed. The offer must be binding and the acceptance must be qualified and submitted within the stipulated period for acceptance. If this is not the case, it may be a situation that generates a duty to reply. The duty to reply means that a pa

Denna uppsats syftar till att undersöka om en återinförd revisionsplikt för små aktiebolag är en effektiv och proportionerlig åtgärd för att motverka att aktiebolag används för att begå brott. År 2010 avskaffades generell revisionsplikt i Sverige. En generell revisionsplikt innebär att samtliga aktiebolag är skyldiga att ha minst en revisor. I stället infördes vissa gränsvärden som stadgar när revThis thesis aims to examine whether reinstating an audit obligation for small limited companies is an effective and proportionate measure to counteract economic crime. In 2010, audit obligation for all limited companies was abolished in Sweden. Instead, certain thresholds were established that stipulate when an audit obligation arises. Today, audit is obligatory only if the company, for two consec
