This thesis examines the relationship between international law protecting refugees and national legislation in Sweden and in the UK. International protection is afforded by the 1951 Geneva Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees. But also general international human rights instruments are relevant. These include the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the International Covenant on Civil

There are inconsistent and limited data available to assess the relationship between fat intake and risk of epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). We examined the consumption of total fat, fat sources and fat subtypes in relation to risk of EOC and its major histologic subtypes in the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition which includes incident invasive (n=1095) and borderline (n

In winter, small birds should be fat to avoid starvation and lean and agile to escape predators. This means that they face a tradeoff between the costs and benefits of carrying fat reserves. Every day they must gain enough fat to survive the coming night. Food-hoarding species can afford to carry less fat than nonhoarders because they can store energy outside the body. Furthermore, hoarders should

Begreppet adaptation to the adverse effects of climate change är relativt nytt in internationell miljörätt. Begreppet adaptation är inte definierat i UNFCCC. Den här uppsatsen analyserar adaptation i ljuset av begreppet reparation i internationell sedvanerätt. Uppsatsen undersöker vad begreppen adaptation och reparation har gemensamt. Kan adaptation i UNFCCC ses som en möjlig utveckling eller förlThe concept of adaptation to the adverse effects of climate change is relatively recent in international environmental law. Adaptation is not defined in the UNFCCC. This paper attempts to address adaptation in the UNFCCC from the perspective of reparation under customary international law. It investigates what the concepts of adaptation and reparation have in common. Could adaptation in the UNFCCC

This thesis examines when tax rulings can be seen as state aid and violate EU competition law. In the process of the research, the doctrinal legal research method will be applied, and the topic will be explored through a case law, literature review, working paper, Etc. The thesis first discusses the background of state aid law and its general application in the EU. In doing so, it analyses when an

Ferroelectric materials exhibit a huge potential for engineering applications - ranging from electrical actuators (inverse piezoelectric effect) to sensor technology (direct piezoelectric effect). To give an example, lead zirconate titanate (PZT) is a typical perovskite ion crystal possessing ferroelectric properties. In this contribution, we are particularly interested in the modelling of microcr

En av de stora olösta problemen inom astronomi är hur galaxer bildas och utvecklas och i synnerhet hur våran egen Galax, Vintergatan, formades och utvecklades. Det är ett problem som astronomer har försökt lösa i åtskilliga årtionden, men först på senare tid har instrumenten blivit så pass nogranna att vi har möjligheten lösa detta problemet. Med moderna observationer har vi idag en bra bild av huThe formation and evolution of the Milky Way is a subject under constant debate. Our understanding of the hierarchical structure for- mation of the Galaxy is limited and as it stands now, there are several different competeing models that aim to explain the observations. The initial aim of this project was to study vertical metallicity gradi- ents in the thick disk whilst applying a previously unu

Summary This thesis is a study which primary objective is to examine the court´s risk assessment in legal custody, and contact disputes when a child is at risk of being harmed. My thesis also includes an interdisciplinary perspective to give a more detailed understanding of the process – of which consequences it entails if authorities and courts don´t make reliable risk assessments. Physical, psyc

Hur påverkar en stad vattenkemi och alger i en å? Rönne å slingrar sig igenom det skånska landskapet från Ringsjön och mynnar till slut ut i havet vid Ängelholm. Jag paddlade kanot i Rönne å för att undersöka dagvattnet som rinner ner i ån. Jag ville också undersöka den ekologisk betydelsen dagvattnet har på ån genom att studera alger. Slutligen ville jag se om det finns skillnader mellan landsbyStormwater is runoff water from snow or rain events that enters a recipient shortly after the precipitations has reached the ground. Stormwater can contain heavy metals and nutrients depending on the type and size of the catchment area as well as the intensity and regularity of the precipitation. In high amounts, the pollutants can inhibit algal growth and have a negative effect in algal diversity

The Purpose of this study was to determine what affects, if any exist, crude oil and natural gas supply and demand has on the international relations of Northeast Asia. This was done by answering the research question: does the need to for energy security override the desire to maintain the status quo regarding national policy toward controversial issues facing Northeast Asia. The study uses the t

En uppsjö av extruderade livsmedelsprodukter återfinns idag på butikshyllorna inom dagligvaruhandeln och antalet produkter ökar ständigt. Det rör sig om allt från snacks som ostbågar och tortilla chips till majskrokar och frukostflingor. Trots den stora mängden produkter är extrudering en för allmänheten ofta okänd teknik. Denna typ av produkter har ofta ansetts vara onyttiga men nya rön antyder aExtrusion cooking is a technique that has been extensively developed in the last decades and is today strongly associated with the production of snack foods and breakfast cereals. This project aimed to map the extrudate properties of four different cereal materials extruded at two different moisture contents and three different temperatures. Rye bran, rye flour, Barley Amylopectin Starch and β- gl

A transcription of the first episode of season three. Nic: We are back! You are listening to the first episode of a brand new third season of the Meridian and we are once again coming to you from Lund Observatory in southern Sweden.   We are starting strong this season. A few weeks back, NASA astronaut Jim Pawelczyk, who is an associate professor of Physiology, kinesiology and medicine, visited Lu

Purpose – Competence development is a prerequisite for successfully meeting existing and future challenges in the retail sector. However, current human resource development practices are often limited in their scope and offerings. This study sets out to investigate and bring to light informal learning among retail professionals.Design/methodology/approach – This research consists of two explorator

Background: Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is an effective treatment for depression with potential transient cognitive side effects. However, subjective memory impairment can extend over a long period after ECT. Objectives: This study aimed to assess potential risk factors for long-term subjective memory impairment 6 months after ECT and to explore if the associations are mediated by depressive s
