Under international law, a government of a state is entitled to the sovereign right to invite another state to intervene militarily on its territory. This type of consensual use of military force is an exception to the rules on prohibition of use of force among states, and unlawfulness is precluded through such governmental consent. The extent to which a government is entitled to invite has been d

In this thesis I study international space law’s rules on international responsibility and international liability for private satellite launches. I have used a legal dogmatic method to interpret these rules, before subjecting them to an economic analysis on how they will affect the behaviour of private actors and States. Finally I propose solutions to increase the economic efficiency of three dif

It was in the early 1980s when Peter Ryan from the University of Cape Town started investigating ecological and conservational factors surrounding the endemic Nesospiza finches in the Tristan da Cunha archipelago, a curious case of resource-driven bird diversification in the Southern Atlantic. Ryan and others suggests for the radiation of Tristan finches to have happened around 400,000 years ago,

The main purpose of this thesis is to present and analyse the Swedish sixteenth-century Catholic priest Andreas Servius’ prayer book Någre Christilige och Catholische böner printed in the Silesian city of Neisse year 1593. The general questions of the study are: which where the main sources of the prayers found in this prayer book? What characteristics typical for the period’s piety can be found i

Comparing FB tangential neurons Every living person has got a brain (even if we sometime question it!) The same goes for all other animals, including insects. Theirs are, however, much smaller and simpler. From a practical (and ethical) standpoint, it is therefore much easier to study insect brains than human brains. One interesting field of study is the navigational ability of insects. The prim

Digitaliseringen har i stor utsträckning revolutionerat sättet som företagen gör affärer på. Det finns inte längre samma behov av fysiska platser för affärsverksamheter eftersom teknologin har skapat virtuella platser där företag kan sälja både varor och tjänster utan att överhuvudtaget sätta en fot i jurisdiktionen. Emellertid har reglerna om fast driftställe alltsedan 1920-talet präglats av att The digitalisation has largely revolutionized the way companies do business. There is no longer the same need for physical locations for businesses for the reason that technology has created virtual locations where companies can sell both goods and services without even setting foot in the jurisdiction. However, the rules on permanent establishment have, ever since the 1920’s, been characterized b

Med minskade resurser av fossila bränslen och ökade miljökrav har förnybara ersättningar fått större uppmärksamhet. Produktionen av förnybara kemikalier och bränslen genom förgasning av biomassa är en lovande lösning för att driva denna energiomställning. Syntesgas (syngas), en blandning av främst CO och H2, kan framställas av biomassa via förgasning. Biologisk me-tanisering, som ett potentiellt aWith reduced resources of fossil fuels and increased environmental requirements, renewable substitutes have received greater attention. The production of renewable chemicals and fuels through biomass gasification presents a promising route to drive this energy transition. Synthe-sis gas (syngas), a mixture of mainly CO and H2, can be produced from biomass via gasifica-tion. Biological methanation,

Det är viktigt att det i ett land finns rättssäkerhetsgarantier. För svensk del är Europeiska konventionen angående skydd för de mänskliga rättigheterna och de grundläggande friheterna en väldigt viktig utgångspunkt. I min framställning har jag studerat vilka krav konventionen ställer på rätten till en domstolsprövning och en rättssäker process, art 6 i Europakonventionen. Med dessa krav i bakhuvuLegal certainty is important in every country. For the Swedish part the European Convention on Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms is a very important starting point and framework. In my presentation, I have studied the requirements that the Convention imposes on the access to court and the entitlement to a fair and public hearing, art 6 of the Convention. With these requirements in mind, I look

Cerebral pares är ett samlingsnamn för en grupp funktionsnedsättningar som påverkar rörelseförmågan, och är den vanligaste orsaken till rörelsehinder hos barn. Cerebral pares orsakas av en hjärnskada som inträffar under fosterstadiet, vid födelsen, eller före två års ålder. Musklerna hos personer med cerebral pares har en mindre storlek än hos andra, vilket till viss del kan kompenseras av längre Cerebral palsy is an umbrella term for a group of neurological disorders, affecting motor function, movement and posture. Contractures, restrictions in the range of motion of joints, are a common problem affecting people living with cerebral palsy. In the present thesis, the effect of having a contracture on one knee, on the hazard for developing a contracture on the other knee, is explored. This

The hotel industry's growth raises concerns about its societal and environmental impacts, prompting hotels to engage in various practices for environmental preservation, fair HR management, and community well-being among others. Previously reporting on such practices in their sustainability reports, hotel chains now feel a stronger obligation to adhere to Environmental, Social, and Governance

In January of 2021, the former President of the United States was banned from nearly every social media platform as a result of his actions during the January 6th attack on the U.S. Capitol. After a year of development, Trump’s company, Trump Media and Technology Group, released Truth Social, a Trump-centric social media platform, in February 2022. Although Trump’s bans from social media have most

Acoustophoresis, i.e., the contactless manipulation of small cells or particles via acoustic waves is a gentle and label-free method that can, amongst others, be used to isolate rare cells such as circulating tumor cells from blood. To isolate enough cells, a large amount of sample needs to be processed in a reasonable amount of time. In a clinical setting, usually around 10 mL of blood can be col

Det har länge varit känt att delar av läkares yrkesutövning är av sådan karaktär att den i objektiv mening uppfyller rekvisiten i vissa brottsbestämmelser. Eftersom sjukvården är en önskvärd verksamhet från samhällets sida finns det ett behov av en straffrättslig ansvarsfrihetsregel eller princip som motiverar tillåtligheten i läkares yrkesutövning. I denna uppsats undersöks läkares befogenheter oIt has long been recognized that the professional practice of doctors is of such a nature that in an objective sense it fulfills the requirements of certain criminal acts. Since healthcare is a desirable activity on the part of society, the professional practice of doctors needs to be covered by a discharge from liability that justifies the permissibility of medical practice. This paper examines t

Computer programs are excluded subject matter ''as such'' under the EPC. However, once ''technical character'' can be established in a software invention, and it fulfills all the requirements for patentability - being an invention, which is novel, has inventive step and is industrially applicable - software is very much patentable. The technical character requiremen

Samarbete och teamkänsla är vanliga begrepp på många arbetsplatser oavsett bransch. Aktörerna i byggbranschen är inte kända för att vara några pionjärer inom detta område utan branschen har historiskt sett snarare beskrivits som konservativ och konfliktfylld, vilket bidragit till att försämra byggbranschens rykte. En förändring håller på att ske, att olika aktörer kan jobba tillsammans för att nå

In this master´s thesis I seek to explore the concept of restorative justice, an ideological approach to justice which aims to repair the harm caused by crime through means of communication, cooperation, participation and restoration. By involving all parties affected by crime, restorative justice seeks to address crime through empowering victims, increasing community cohesion and making offenders

Den engelska professorn och filosofen Roger Scruton har under ett långt akademiskt liv kritiserat samtiden på många olika sätt. Han är kritisk till det postmoderna samhället och filosofer som Focault, Derrida och Habermas. Han menar att den västerländska kulturen idag står under hot. Syftet med denna uppsats är därför att redogöra för och kritisk diskutera Scrutons analys och kritik av det västerlThe English professor and philosopher Roger Scruton has in a long academic life criticized contemporaries in many different ways.

The purpose of this bachelor's degree project is to describe and discuss critical Scrutons analysis and criticism of

The phenomenon of increasing correlation between asset returns in economic downturns will be investigated with two different approaches and tried to be explained by different macroeconomic variables. The first approach, namely the classic method of measuring correlation with time series is contrasted with an extended method of cross-sectional correlation measurement proposed by Solnik (2000). The

This essay is a comparison of the American and the Swedish labor law systems regarding the right to strike. American unions generally have a tougher time than Swedish unions to get by. Not only do they have to fight the employers, the federal government does not give much support either and the union dislike is widely spread amongst the population. This goes back all the way to the beginning of th

Background Rye products have been demonstrated to lower the acute insulin demand, induce a low and prolonged blood glucose response (high Glycemic Profile, GP) and reduce subclinical inflammation. These products may therefore contribute to a lowered risk of obesity, type 2 diabetes and cardio vascular disease. The objective of the present paper was to evaluate the mechanism for a reduced postprand
