Responsibility to Protect (R2P) is a principle that is always up for discussion, and has been since it was first mentioned in the ICISS report from 2001, which was issued as a consequence of that rhetorical question that Secretary General Kofi Annan asked about the genocide that occurred in Rwanda and Srebrenica in the 1990s. He questioned how we should react to systematic violations of Human Righ
That sovereignty is losing its importance within international politics is a commonly occurring claim. When adopted by realists it is used as describing the end of an era where predictions of state behaviour were easily made. When concluded by liberalists, it is seen as marking the transit to a new era where the view on an international system as defined by cooperation due to common interests. Thi
Bellahøj is an area situated in the northwestern part of Copenhagen, Denmark, 5 km away from the inner city. Considering its architectural heritage, abundance of green capital, a wide variety of resident groups and a convenient location, it has a great potential for being a well-functioning neighbourhood, yet, there seems to be a missing piece of puzzle that causes Bellahøj to feel fragmented and
Fallow, understood as a period where no crop is cultivated during a growing season, is an important crop management practice. Fallow plays an important role in pest and disease management, and monitoring the presence and duration of fallow can have implications for understanding the extent and effectiveness of this agricultural practice. Therefore, fallow period mapping using remotely sensed data
Internet har under det senaste årtiondet blivit ett modernt inslag i nästan varje människas vardag. Internet ger obegränsade kommunikationsmöjligheter, men det finns också ett antal negativa sidor med internets snabba utveckling i samhället. En av dessa negativa sidor är att folk under den senaste tiden har börjat utnyttja möjligheten att bakom en datorskärm anonymt kränka personer som de kanske iThe Internet has during the last decade become a modern feature in almost every person’s everyday life. The internet gives an unlimited possibility for communication, but there is also a number of negative aspects with the Internet’s fast development in society. One of these negative aspects is that very recently people have started to use the possibility to hide behind a screen and anonymously vi
With this study we attempt to shed some light in the existing literature concerning the determinants of cross-sectional stock returns. In our analysis we test a turbulent period for the Athens Stock Exchange which ranges from July/2007 to June/2012. The variables we examine as potential determinants are the market beta, the market value of equity, the book-to-market value of equity, Liu’s liquidit
Sammanfattning Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka hur våld, riktad mot någon annan familjemedlem än barnet, påverkar bedömningen av barnets bästa i frågor om vårdnad, boende och umgänge. Denna fråga inkluderar avvägningen mellan frågor om vårdnad, boende samt barnets rätt till umgänge med en förälder å ena sidan, och den våldutsatta kvinnans rätt till skydd å andra sidan. Det handlar alltsåSummary The aim of this study is to examine how violence against a member of the family other than the child, is affecting the assessment of the child's best interests in matters of legal custody, residence and access. This issue includes questions about legal custody, residence and the child's right to access to a parent on the one hand and the abused woman's right to protection on th
The Formula for Unification via a National Community which has been the official unification formula of South Korea has served as a framework for reunification policies of previous South Korean governments. The thesis focuses on the community-building approach of the South Korean formula and explains why a formula which prioritized economic-community has not served as an adequate formula for South
Present day aid strategies and their effectiveness are subjected to fundamental reassessment. Major donors and international financial institutions are increasingly basing their aid and loans to the countries on the condition that recipient governments undertake reforms that ensure "good governance" of the allocated funds. Present study conducted in November and December 2007 in Zambia w
I och med övergången från den svenska konstruktionsnormen, BKR, till den nya europeiska normen, Eurocode, har både karaktäristiska värden och tillvägagångssättet för beräkning av träts hållfasthet förändrats. Trä som konstruktionsmaterial är även specifikt påverkat, då ett nytt klassificeringssytem har införts i samband med övergången till Euorocode. Träts hållfasthet har överlag blivit nedimensio
I dagens samhälle räcker det inte med en produkts relativa överlägsenhet för att garantera dess framgång på marknaden. Snabb ekonomisk utveckling och avancerad teknologi har lett till knivskarp konkurrens på den globala marknaden. Genom ökad marknadstransparens och avancerade kommunikationer underlättas tillgänglighet till information samt genomförande av gränöverskridande transaktioner. Det har bIn today’s society, the relative superiority of a product is not enough to guarantee its success on a marketplace. Rapid economic development rates and advancing technology has led to a more competitive global market. Increased accessibility to information and cross-border transactions is a result of market transparency and advanced communication techniques. Creating product imitations or very sim
Mitochondria produce the majority of the cell’s energy. Any dysfunction in, or interference with mitochondrial function can have severe consequences. And yet, it was only within the last decades that screening for potential mitochondrial toxicity was included as routine toxicity assay during early drug development. Despite improved recognition of drug-related side effects on mitochondrial function
We here respond to the critique by Purdon of an article on carbon forestry that we published in this journal last year (Carton and Andersson). While we welcome critical engagements with our work, Purdon’s argument is wide of the mark and appears based largely on misconceptions regarding our theoretical entry point and empirical findings. Underlying this are fundamental disagreements about the natu
We recently analyzed the robustness of competing evolution models developed to identify the root of the Tree of Life: 1) An empirical Sankoff parsimony (ESP) model (Harish and Kurland, 2017), which is a nonstationary and directional evolution model; and 2) An a priori ancestor (APA) model (Kim and Caetano-Anollés, 2011) that is a stationary and reversible evolution model. Both Bayesian model selec
The Malmö Breast Tomosynthesis Screening Trial is a large population based screening trial designed to evaluate the use of one-view breast tomosynthesis, with reduced compression force, as a stand-alone screening modality. Initial results show a substantially increased cancer detection rate compared to mammography and a still-acceptable elevation of the recall and false-positive rates.
