The objective of this thesis was to examine what recipients of aid from Swedish Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) think about the support and about their possibilities to be independent after the support has been withdrawn. The research questions were: What is the purpose of the aid, from the recipients' point of view? What is the recipients' view of their future as self-supporting and

Den 8 november 2024 infördes självständigt förverkande i 36 kap. 5 § brottsbalken (1962:700) (BrB) som en del av en större reform av förverkandelagstiftningen. Förverkandeformen har huvudsakligen motiverats med att det behövs effektiva verktyg för att bekämpa den organiserade brottsligheten och neutralisera brottsvinster. Samtidigt rör det sig om ett tvångsingrepp med potentiellt långtgående konseOn 8 November 2024, non-conviction-based confiscation was introduced into Chapter 36, Section 5 of The Swedish Criminal Code (1962:700) as a part of a broader reform of the confiscation legislation. This measure has primarily been justified with regards to the need for more effective tools to combat organised crime and neutralise criminal proceeds. At the same time, it is a coercive measure with p

This study examines whether the new EU enlargement strategy has brought expected results and led to the changes that go beyond adoption of formal rules and institutions in Montenegro. It establishes whether improvement in the sphere of judicial independence occurred since the introduction of the new EU approach to enlargement, in the next most likely candidate, by analysing the impact of each comp

The Nuremberg Charter introduced corporate criminal liability into international law and the great American Chief Prosecutor Justice Robert Jackson gave a promise that any legal person who commits crimes prescribed by international law shall be prosecuted and punished according to international criminal law. However, during this period of time, a corporation was never prosecuted per se as the sitt

This thesis research analyses the role of local and regional governance in fostering the circular economy, using Uusimaa and Päijät-Häme – both being regions in Finland – as study cases. The main inquiry is to understand the role along the seven causal factors that were identified as relevant for this study, which are captured by the notions of i) interpretation and congruence of the circular econ

The purpose of the thesis is to assess whether or not the Security Council in four cases in the beginning of the nineties violated the UN Charter in its Chapter VII resolutions. In the theoretical chapter preceding the case study, limits on the Council's Chapter VII competence are identified in Articles 24, 1, 2 and 39. Important terms and sentences, such as ''threat to the peace'&

The purpose of my thesis is to understand in what ways economic and productive transnationalisation affects political and social participation in the local level. Particularly, what I wish to explore are the effects of integration into the global economy over labour movements in peripheral regions. I study the ways in which workers of salmon firms in the areas of Puerto Montt and Chiloé organise a

There is a remarkable gap between the socio-economic living conditions of the urban aboriginal people compared to other urban residents in Canada. The purpose of this essay is to explain why this gap is intact by explaining how urban space is intimately connected with the search for a national identity. The Canadian national identity was originally based on the displacement of the aboriginal peopl

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: I försök att producera kontinuerlig data över förändringar i jordens magnetfält använder man sig ofta av sjösediment. Magnetiska mineral, eroderade från den kringliggande berggrunden, förekommer ofta i sjöar. Koncentration av dem beror på hur rik bergrunden är på den typen av mineral, t.ex. magnetit. När de magnetiska mineralen faller till botten riktar de in siThe pseudo-Thellier technique was applied to recover relative palaeointensity (PT-RPI) estimates from four core sections, each 2 m in length, obtained from Lake Gościąż, Poland. The varve chronology from Lake Gościąż, originally constructed by Tomasz Goslar, was transferred to the sediment sequence. The chronology was extrapolated to cover the upper parts containing a less pronounced varve structu

De senaste åren har diskussioner gällande straffreduktion i förhållande till flerfaldig brottslighet förts både av politiker och privatpersoner. Att systemet med mängdrabatter är alltför fördelaktigt är ett återkommande argument. Kritiken ledde till att en utredning tillsattes för att se över strafflagstiftningen. Det, tillsammans med den mediala uppmärksamhet som bland annat den så kallade NytorgBoth politicians and private individuals have, in recent years, discussed the Swedish criminal system regarding penalty reduction in relation to multiple crimes. The system being too generous by giving the perpetrator high discounts is a recurring argument. After being criticized for several years, the Swedish government has appointed an investigator to review the Swedish legislation. This, along

Dark matter accounts for about 85% of all matter in the Universe, yet its particle nature remains unknown. The Light Dark Matter eXperiment (LDMX) is a proposed fixed-target missing-momentum experiment that intends to probe the predominantly experimentally uncharted MeV-GeV mass range for "light dark matter". A significant challenge for LDMX is to efficiently veto rare photo-nuclear back
