Throughout the 21st century, Russian policy has been identified primarily by one unalterable person – Vladimir Putin. His coming to power as president of the Russian Federation marked a new course in Russia’s policy. Putin’s political decisions and visions are of considerable importance in Russian domestic policy as much as in international politics. The aim of this paper is to study how Vladimir
Trots att det finns stora möjligheter för att finna synergier mellan övergångsrättvisa och företagande och mänskliga rättigheter har de två forskningsfälten fram tills nyligen sällan undersökts ihop. Denna uppsats har som övergripande mål att bidra till en bättre förståelse för hur de två fälten interagerar när stater rör sig från pågående väpnade konflikter till post-konfliktfaser. I synnerhet äm
Även om Sverige anses vara ett av världens mest jämställda länder så anmäls hundratals fall av misstänkt könsdiskriminering varje år. Det svenska rättighetsskyddet utgörs till stor del av Europeiska Unionens bestämmelser som omvandlats till svensk lag som myndigheter och domstolar behöver följa. Risken finns att gravida kvinnor diskrimineras på arbetsmarknaden och därför är syftet med uppsatsen at
Cardiotography, CTG, is a monitoring method that is commonly used during childbirth. The method measures the fetal heart rate, FHR, alongside the uterine contractions, TOCO. Clinicians use this tool to evaluate the health of the infant, and to observe changes which might imply hypoxia, lack of oxygen supply, for the fetus. However, abnormalities in the CTG are often non-specific, making the interp
Anharmonic decay of longitudinal optical (LO) phonons in zincblende semiconductors is not at present well characterized due to the polar and many-body nature of the problem. Femtosecond THz radiation offers a novel route to this study, as the interaction of this radiation is directly with the phonon lattice and these THz excited phonons do not have enough energy to excite electrons over the band g
Inom ramen för den offentlig förvaltningen utövar kontrollmyndigheter tillsyn över ett flertal olika verksamheten på vitt skilda områden. Ett exempel är djurskyddsområdet. Offentlig kontroll över efterlevnaden av djurskyddslagstiftningen är reglerad på EU-nivå och tar i första hand sikte på verksamheter som bedrivs i större omfattning. Dessa verksamheter ska genom avgifter finansiera den offentligThe public authorities in Sweden are responsible for official control performed to ensure the application of rules on animal health and welfare. The regulation derives from legislation at the European Parliament and mainly aims to regulate corporations’ compliance with the Animal Welfare Act. The legislation also regulates the financing of official control conducted by the authorities. Those who k
En bärande princip för klanderprocessen är att hovrätten inte får ägna sig åt någon materiell överprövning. I klanderprocesser prövas i huvudsak om det i skiljeförfarandet förekommit något processuellt fel. För prövningen gäller samma processuella regelverk som för tvistemål i underrätt. Ett av de processuella verktyg som kan användas i klanderprocesser är 42 kap. 5 § 1 st. andra meningen RB. Den
Surrogate motherhood is a relatively controversial method of assisted reproduction, as it raises ethical questions about the potential risk of exploitation versus the right to self-determination, if it is done with the child’s best in mind and whether or not it is problematic for the family constellation. The purpose of this paper is to examine the approach to altruistic surrogate motherhood in Sw
Precisionsmedicin utgör nydanande medicinsk forskning som analyserar kända läkemedel, sjukdomar, utförda läkemedelsbehandlingar och mänskliga biologiska särdrag, för att fastslå vilket läkemedel, dos och administrering personer med en viss biologisk profil bör erhålla vid behandling av viss sjukdom, för att bäst behandlingsresultat ska uppnås. En precisionsmedicin utgör följaktligen ett känt läkemPrecision medicine constitutes revolutionizing research within medicine where pharmaceuticals, diseases, executed drug treatments and human biological features are analysed, whereupon it could be established which drug, dosage and drug-administration people with a certain biological profile should receive when being treated for a specific disease. Hence, best treatment results could be achieved. T
This thesis contributes to the discussion on food production and sustainability by studying how political economy is experienced by Swedish dairy farmers. Many Swedish dairy farmers have reported that they struggle with poor profitability, and the number of dairy farms is decreasing quickly. However, the size of the remaining farms has increased simultaneously. The study focuses on the changes in
This study describes three young men and four young women and their quest for identity in a culture they, for many reasons, never seriously considered to be their own. The aim of the study was to find out, through interviews, what characterizes the culture of individuals identified as “blattar”, individuals with a cross-cultural background growing up and living in Sweden. We wanted to find out wha
Wind energy has not been able to diffuse widely in the Netherlands, despite the great history of harnessing wind power. To understand the factors responsible for the slow diffusion of wind energy in the Netherlands, a qualitative study has been performed through semi-structured interviews. Drawing on insights from regime influences, this study has applied the multi-level framework by Geels (2012)
The purpose of this study is to examine if brand-context congruence has an effect on customer-based brand equity and whether brand image impacts this relationship. The relationship between an ad and the surrounding context, so called context congruence, has gained a lot of attention. This as it has been shown to generate beneficial outcomes for brands, such as better brand recall, recognition, and
