Avhandlingens syfte är att undersöka effektiviteten av tillgång till rättvisa för ursprungsbefolkningar i ljuset av rättigheterna till landområden, territorier och naturresurser. Detta kommer att göras genom att undersöka både rättspraxis från Interamerikanska domstolen för mänskliga rättigheter (och ett fall från Högsta domstolen i Brasilien), den rättsliga ramen på internationell nivå och andra The thesis's purpose is to look into the effectiveness of access to justice for indigenous peoples in the light of the rights to lands, territories and natural resources. This will be done by looking into both the jurisprudence of the Inter-American Court of Human Rights (and one case from the Supreme Court of Brazil), the legislative framework on an international level and other relevant sour

Pollution and its impact on the environment is one of the greatest problems facing humanity today. Since the building sector is responsible for 40\% of the total carbon dioxide emissions, it is important to investigate the sector to see how emissions can be reduced. Due to timber having a smaller impact on the environment compared to steel and concrete, it is of substance to investigate the possib

I Sverige har brottsligheten i kriminella miljöer ökat drastiskt under de senaste åren. En markant ökning av antalet skjutningar och sprängningar har noterats och brottsbekämpande myndigheter har haft ett behov av effektivare verktyg för att förhindra denna brottslighet. Ett sådant verktyg är preventiva tvångsmedel. Användningen av dessa regleras bland annat i preventivlagen (2007:979). AnvändninIn Sweden, crimes committed within criminal networks have increased dramatically in recent years. Shootings and explosions have become more common. Swedish law enforcement authorities have needed more effective tools to prevent these crimes and one such tool is preventive coercive measures. The regulation of preventive coercive measures has expanded in recent years. Since 1 October 2023, these mea

Offentlig-privat samverkan (”OPS”) kan ses som en typ av offentlig upphandling där en eller flera privata aktörer, genom ett gemensamt projektbolag, levererar en tjänst på uppdrag av en offentlig beställare, vanligtvis ett infrastrukturprojekt inom transport, energiförsörjning, utbildning eller sjukvård. Utmärkande för OPS är att projektbolaget ansvarar för alla delar av projektet, inklusive projePublic-private partnership ("PPP") can be seen as a type of public procurement where one or more private actors, through a joint project company, deliver a service on behalf of a public client, typically an infrastructure project in transportation, energy supply, education, or healthcare. A distinguishing feature of PPP is that the project company is responsible for all aspects of the pr

This thesis explores two interrelated issues when it comes to traditional alcohol in Tanzania and its day-to-day activities: identity formation and local economic life. Given the fact that drinking traditional alcohol in Africa is an intrinsic part of social life, it becomes an object in the articulation of diversity, coexistence, and preservation of identity. The study presents women as nodes thr

Enligt art. 53(1)(b) EUTMR och art. 7 EUTMD utgör ond tro ett registreringshinder, samt en ogiltighetsgrund för varumärkesregistreringar. EU lagstiftare erbjuder inte en mer djupgående förklaring för vad ond tro inom varumärkesrätten innebär. Istället har uppgiften att definiera begreppet ’ond tro’ fallit på EUD, Tribunalen och EUIPOs administrativa nämnder. Föreliggande uppsats har undersökt hur According to art. 53(1)(b) EUTMR and art. 7 EUTMD, trade mark applications filed in bad faith are to be refused registration, or invalidated if already registered. The European legislators do not provide a more in-depth description of what it means for a trade mark applicant to be in bad faith at the time of filing an application. The task of defining the concept of bad faith has been placed in th

Warming trends have been associated with drought which induces and heightens agents and factors that cause tree mortality. Remotely sensed observations are increasingly being used in vegetation studies and are obtained from Earth observation satellites. Vegetation optical depth (VOD) is one such product and is obtained from the microwave domain, both passive and active. It measures the degree of a

The most common thermally insulated packaging used today is plastic-based and customer behavior towards plastic materials has changed rapidly in recent years. The Meal Kit Industry has a particular need for insulated packaging/cool pouch (CP) and is looking to shift from plastic materials to more paper-based ones. Unfortunately, paper-based insulated packaging hasn’t been completely developed in t

Korslimmat trä, KL-trä, är ett förhållandevis nytt byggnadsmaterial i byggbranschen. Det består av ett udda antal skikt av lameller av konstruktionsvirke, där varje skikt av lameller ligger roterade 90 grader i förhållande till intilliggande skikt. Materialet används både i den bärande stommen och som stomkomplettering i form av exempelvis trappor. Idag finns endast en etablerad tillverkare på dCross-laminated timber, CLT, is a rather new building material. It consists of an odd number of layers consisting of lumber boards stacked together, where each layer is rotated 90 degrees in comparison to the adjacent layers. The material is used both as a load-carrying element as well as a non-load-carrying element, such as stairs. Today there is only one established producer of CLT in Sweden. D

EU aims to achieve climate neutrality in 2050, 23 cities in Sweden aim to reach that goal already by 2030. A new city district in Helsingborg - southern Sweden - is being developed with the goal of achieving near net-zero carbon emissions. This study evaluates the first completed phase and aims to draw learning outcomes to lower carbon emissions for the remaining upcoming development phases. The

As the automation of industrial systems is becoming more and more complex, new methods are needed to further boost efficiency. Machine learning is a method where a computer learns to recognize complex patterns using large amounts of real-world data. The focus of this work is to leverage real-world industrial data from a sawmill to optimize one of the machines, the unscramblers. The unscrambler se

Portfolio optimization is a central problem in finance, with traditional approaches of- ten relying on forecasts of expected returns and covariances. With the growing adoption of machine learning in finance, return forecasting using ML techniques has become in- creasingly common. More recently, an alternative approach has been proposed where the portfolio weights are learned directly, bypassing th

The Swedish healthcare system is facing a substantial challenge in competence provision, with skilled staff needed in both the private and public sectors. The Swedish government is investing heavily in initiatives and mapping projects aimed at securing future competence supply. This study aims to identify which factors have the greatest impact on healthcare employees' decisions to either leav

Amidst a surge in global demand for materials driving the green transition, this thesis investigates how policymakers can best ensure sound environmental performance in the Swedish mining industry following unexpected mine closures. Current Swedish financial assurance mechanisms, intended to operationalize the Polluter Pays Principle, are hampered by unclear criteria and a focus on individual site

Making decisions on what to acquire and what not to acquire is, and has been for centuries, a task that librarians are relied on to perform. Over the recent decades focus in acquisitions has turned slightly away from the expertise of the librarians towards the needs of the library users. Reasons for the turn has been lacking financial funds and a desire to increase service in libraries. The effect

Specifically, their work and views with regard to holistic rehabilitation is focused. Holistic rehabilitation is in the pre

The product H2 is a new heat exchanger produced, manufactured and sold by Heatex. It has an excellent surface efficiency, in large parts because of its slim features. The slim features does however have a drawback. It isn’t as mechanically stable and robust as its earlier cousins. The product tends to deform plastically in lifting conditions, especially the heavier versions needs extra support or,

Ultrasound-modulated optical tomography (UOT) is a proposed diagnostic technique with potential as a means of discovering cancerous tumours. The technique combines ultrasound and laser radiation to probe tissue in a non-invasive, harmless way. An important aspect in UOT is the ability to distinguish the probing light from background scattered light generated by the technique, which limits its reso

The purpose of this project was to develop and test lipase-based in vitro release (IVR) assays for model and active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) entrapped in lipid formulations based on mixtures of phosphatidylcholine (PC) and glycerol dioleate (GDO). Two dyes, Fluorescein disodium salt and Patent Blue V sodium salt, functioning as model drug compounds, were investigated separately in the PC/G
