The implementation of iris scan technology in the context of humanitarian financial assistance in UNHCR-run refugee camps raises an array of legal questions. While the collection and storage of biometrical data in other contexts is often accompanied by a critical discussion about data protection and privacy concerns, the use of such data in humanitarian settings is often left uncontested. The in-d

Den här uppsatsen syftar till att ur ett rättsutvecklingsperspektiv redogöra för och diskutera framväxten av det internationella brottet folkmord (genocide). Raphael Lemkin myntade 1944 begreppet genocide. Han hade då också en genomtänkt definition av vad begreppet behövde innebära för att omfatta de illdåd som utförs i världen. Bakgrunden till hans engagemang grundade sig i det turkiskottomanska

Kärnvapen är i allra högsta grad kraftfulla militära och politiska vapen. På grund av detta är frågan om dess legalitet i internationell rätt sedan länge omdebatterad. När frågan ställdes inför den internationella domstolen myntades ett nytt begrepp; ”statlig överlevnad”. Domstolens användning av begreppet väckte frågan om statlig överlevnad utgör ett exceptionellt undantag som kan rättfärdiga vå

Eftersom innovation ger konkurrensfördelar, ökar marknadsandelar och påskyndar den övergripande institutionella tillväxten, utgör innovation en erkänd framgångsfaktor för organisationer. Under det senaste decenniet har ett paradigmskifte från traditionella innovationsstudier, med fokus på forskning och utveckling, till medarbetardriven innovation (EDI) skett. Då den senaste litteraturkartläggningeInnovation is widely recognized as a critical factor of organizational success as it cultivates competitive edge, augments market share, and accelerates overall institutional growth. During the last decade, a paradigm shift from the traditional innovation studies, focusing on research and development (R&D), toward employee-driven innovation (EDI) has been observed. However, the last literature

This thesis attempts to show tangible ways in which commodification of experience expands into areas outside of direct commercial activity, in contemporary mind and society. The user reviews of Google Maps (URGM) regarding places that don't offer sales of goods and services are being studied empirically, through qualitative text analysis. Functional analysis is also used to study the functions

Supply chain management includes coordination and motivation of independently operating partners. Therefore, it is important to align logistics structures, processes and incentives, especially when making major changes involving those components. Traditionally, cost, quality, and service have served as prioritized performance indicators for supply chains, but lately risk is also taken into conside

We propose a conceptual model to explain the variation in species richness in local communities and in build-up of regional species pools over time. The idea is that the opportunity for new species to enter a community (its invasibility) determines the present richness of that community as well as the long-term build-up of a species pool by speciation and migration. We propose that a community's i

Decision trees constructed by ID3-like algorithms suffer from an inability of detecting instances of categories not present in the set of training examples, i.e., they are discriminative representations. Instead, such instances are assigned to one of the classes actually present in the training set, resulting in undesired misclassifications. In this report, twomethods of reducing this problemby le

Alzheimer's disease (AD) not only takes an emotional toll on the individual with the disease, their families, relatives, and caretakers, it also has immense socioeconomic consequences on the health care system and society. Moreover, the socioeconomic consequences are expected to increase significantly, thus reducing the social and economic cost of AD is of high importance. Recently, exposure to 40

The Yiddish language is over 1,000 years old and incorporates German, Slavic, and Hebrew elements. The prevalent view claims Yiddish has a German origin, whereas the opposing view posits a Slavic origin with strong Iranian and weak Turkic substrata. One of the major difficulties in deciding between these hypotheses is the unknown geographical origin of Yiddish speaking Ashkenazic Jews (AJs). An an
