Uppsatsens syfte är att undersöka huruvida kulturegendom tillmäts ’tillräckligt skydd’ av internationell rätt i väpnade konflikter, med betoning på den juridiska grunden för att åtala förstörelse av kulturarv som ett krigsbrott under internationell straffrätt. Jag undersöker hur de mest relevanta traktaterna i internationell rätt har uppstått sedan antagandet år 1954 av Haagkonventionen för skyddThe purpose of this thesis is to examine whether cultural property is attributed ‘sufficient protection’ by international law in armed conflicts, with an emphasis on the legal basis for prosecuting its destruction as a war crime under international criminal law. I research how the most relevant treaties in international law have emerged since the adoption of the Convention for the Protection of Cu

This paper explores the effect of firm characteristics in terms of licensing foreign technology for firms located in the eastern region of China. Existing studies apply general licensing theory to what might be a factor of regional and industry specific preferences. This paper deploys several probit models based on data gathered by the World Bank to empirically find evidence to support firm attrib

Fruits and leafy vegetables are the major target of pathogenic E.coli outbreaks. Usually soil and other contaminants present in the land provides easy pathway for pathogenic bacteria to enter the plant body. Later upon consumption of such infected food lead to various health problems. To overcome such outbreaks, during our study one of the leafy vegetable spinach was used as a medium to understand

This thesis explores and maps the current flow of information within the Malawi Health Information Systems (HIS), which is paper based but now moving towards a digitalized system. This transition provides a unique opportunity to map and study how dimensions of Information Quality (IQ) can indicate the effectiveness of information flow. In comparing the paper based information flow and the transiti

Both the European Union and the Swedish government consider the need for evidence-based practice and public awareness crucial in nature conservation work. When authorities perform nature conservation projects, they need to hire machine contractors through public procurement. However, there is no way for the authorities to demand high competence in nature conservation work in the public procurement

Understanding material behaviour has in the past enabled human development and will continue to characterize the various stages of our future development. The use of neutrons will greatly affect several research areas, such as sustainable energy production and cancer research, due to their interaction with nuclei. Neutrons will thus interact differently depending on the specific isotope, reveal in

Educating girls has been argued to be a key contributor to a healthier and more affluent nation. Over the last years, poor menstrual hygiene management (MHM) possibilities for female students in low-income settings have been stressed to pose a major hinder for girls to access and complete their education. However, less attention has been directed to how female students can concentrate and thereby

The so-called capitalist crisis of care has been theorized starting since the 80s. It has been and explored by two literature streams: the ‘feminist’ and the ‘mainstream’. New social and economic challenges in relation to welfare state systems trigger the interest of scholars and policy makers who are looking for sustainable responses to care needs. Welfare states have been repeatedly grouped into

Flood-related disasters pose one of the greatest contemporary challenges to development. Analysing and developing effective local coping strategies to flood-related disasters is crucial if at-risk communities are to successfully mitigate the impact of natural hazards whilst not compromising long-term development objectives. This thesis utilises a combination of household surveys and key informan

The complexities of urban informality are increasingly being examined in nuanced and region specific ways. Within the post-socialist states of Central-Eastern Europe, a growing body of research is interrogating phenomena within urban environments through the lens of transition and the unique historical and social dynamics of the area. In Romania, one such phenomena is the overrepresentation of Rom

Informal green spaces are “small green areas” which are some square meter plots along streets or in junctions, in front of public or private buildings. Informal urban green space become or remain in neglected condition due to the lack of capacity of the municipality to maintain them. Further, there is a lack of responsibility, competency and motivation of the residents to voluntarily take care of

Party polarization research at the academic level has been limited so far compared to media coverage. Nonetheless, there is increasing academic attention on the effects of polarization on policy intensity. This study aims to analyse the impact party polarization has on the government response carried out in the EU countries during Covid-19. The specialized literature study how political polarizati

I april 2018 tog EU-kommissionen sitt första steg mot att upprätta den europeiska strategin för artificiell intelligens, vars syfte är att göra Europa till det världsledande centret för artificiell intelligens samtidigt som grundläggande rättigheter och friheter garanteras. I april 2021 presenterade Kommissionen sitt förslag till en förordning om harmoniserade regler för artificiell intelligens, dIn April 2018 the European Commission took their first step into establishing the European AI Strategy, which aims to make Europe the world-leading centre for AI while ensuring fundamental rights and freedoms. In April 2021 the proposal for a regulation on artificial intelligence, referred to as the AI Act, was announced. The proposed Regulation, which has yet to gain status as secondary law, uses

Issue of study: Looking at the lack of strong fibers to form strong paper packaging in Indonesia, there are potentials to introduce Scandinavian long-fibered strong paper bag packaging in Indonesia. Two basic food categories, wheat flour and packaged rice, are chosen as the consumption rate is increasing in Indonesia. Indonesia is tropical country with high temperature and humidity level.
