The purpose of this thesis was to explore the gendered impacts Fairtrade has on smallholder tea producers through a case study of the Sireet cooperative in Western Kenya. While previous studies have extensively elaborated on the overall impact of Fairtrade on poverty reduction and the livelihoods of farmers, a gender differentiated impact assessment has been substantially neglected. Through an emb
The paper explored current approaches to legal aid and weather they effectively incorporate legal empowerment strategies for vulnerable women in Uganda. The conception and application of legal empowerment of the poor was analyzed from a capabilities perspective informed by “development as freedom” focusing on women. The study presented an investigation on how one can bring together the theoretical
Våld mot kvinnor är ett av de mest allvarliga brotten mot internationella mänskliga rättigheter i världen. Det bekräftar underordningen av kvinnor, den patriarkatiska normgivningen och den otillräckliga implementationen av mänskliga rättigheter. Det här arbetet utreder vad våld i hemmet består av i Indien och i Sverige. I Indien är detta fokuserat på dowry-våld och i Sverige är ”vanligt” våld i heViolence against women is one of the most serious international human rights breaches in the world. It reaffirms the subordination of women, the patriarchal standard setting and insufficient implementation of human rights. This thesis investigates what domestic violence consists of in India and in Sweden. In India this is focused on dowry violence and in Sweden “ordinary” domestic violence and hon
We investigate the radial infall of ice pebbles in a protoplanetary disk, and how these tend to end up in relatively close proximity to eachother, providing a possible spawning ground for planets. These pebbles have dust particles embedded in them, which are released as the pebble crosses the so-called ice- line, where the ice evaporates. This is interesting as the dust will pile up around this ic
I denna uppsats undersöks uppsalaskolans syn på rättighetsbegreppet med utgångspunkt i texter av Axel Hägerström, Vilhelm Lundstedt och Ingemar Hedenius. Syftet är att jämföra hur de tre författarna ser på rättighetsbegreppet. Uppsalaskolan har ofta framställts som en enhetlig rättsfilosofi, men i själva verket hade företrädarna skilda ståndpunkter i viktiga frågor. Alla tre författarna är i all vThis paper examines the Uppsala school of thought’s (Uppsalaskolans) approach to the concept of rights. The investigation is based on texts by the three legal philosophers Axel Hägerström, Vilhelm Lundstedt and Ingemar Hedenius. The Uppsala school of thought has often been presented as a coherent philosophy of law, but the representatives in fact held differing positions on a number of important i
Popular science summary: Monitoring subcellular localization of Spx, YjbH, and ClpX in Bacillus subtilis Bacteria are exposed to continuous stress that causes damage to the cell. Therefore, they have developed stress responses that enable them to overcome stress and survive. Oxidizing elements is one kind of stress that bacteria have to deal with. To investigate how bacteria cope with this ki
Sammanfattning Straffrättslig särbehandling av psykiskt störda lagöverträdare har funnits i alla tider. Bedömningen kring det straffrättsliga ansvaret är en komplicerad process och blir ännu mer problematisk om brottet begåtts under påverkan av ett avvikande psykiskt tillstånd. Enligt den svenska lagstiftningen kan alla personer anses ha förövat brott. Ur denna aspekt är Sverige tämligen unikt då Summary Judicial consideration in criminal law of mentally disordered offenders has existed throughout history. The assessment regarding the criminal liability of a person is a complicated process and becomes even more problematic if the offense was committed during an abnormal or permanent mental disorder. Under Swedish law, all persons are deemed to have the capability to commit a crime. Sweden
As a social worker you often meet children that are exposed to harmful environments in one way or another. Children who grow up in these circumstances could easily be forgotten, there-fore it is vital that these children are brought to attention. In these situations it´s necessary to find which positiv measures would be benefitial for these children. The internet is an expan-sive resource due to t
In Sweden rises the competition between construction companies and they are struggling to get projects while they need to perform them at a good profit. The situation is forcing companies to continually develop and streamline their organization while they have high goals in environmental, occupational health, safety and ethics. An important part of the work to streamline companies is that the purc
På grund av den världsomfattande diskussionen rörande ”klimatförändringen” som pågått under de senaste åren, så har försök gjorts för att få människor att ändra sina vanor och för att hitta alternativa energikällor. I dag är det fossila bränslen som dominerar som energikällor men eftersom de ger upphov till höga koldioxidhalter pågår det forskning för att ta fram alternativa bränslen. En grupp av
The Maha Oya river mouth, located on the west coast of Sri Lanka, is seasonally closed by a sand bar formed at the river mouth due to little rainfall and thus little river discharge. A new Outlet, located just north of the Maha Oya river mouth, was created by the 2004 tsunami. The Outlet remains open all year because of its location in the lee of an offshore breakwater. When the Maha Oya river mou
Organic solar cells made of polymers are an attractive alternative to the conventional solar cells which are commercially used today. The polymer solar cell is cheap to produce, due to the high absorption coefficients which limits the needed thickness of the material and due to the simple manufacturing process, which doesn’t demand high temperatures. However, the efficiencies of polymer solar cell
Most of the things that we know about stars come from their spectrum. The properties of the atomic lines, e.g. energy levels, wavelengths, oscillator strengths, must be known to understand the observed spectrum and to perform quantitative analyses. Atomic data of some elements are incomplete, especially in the near-infrared region, which makes it difficult or even impossible to analyze a stellar s
During the years 1964-1992 Chevron (under the Texaco brand) drilled for oil in the Amazon, leaving behind what would be referred to as”the Chernobyl in the Amazon”. With the ability to be everywhere and nowhere, with capital and power, transnational corporations dictate the premises on which they can be hold accountable for human rights abuses. This essay aims at investigating TNCs responsibiliti
Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) är en idrott som fått ökad popularitet de senaste åren, inte minst i Sverige. Idrotten är våldsam och tillåter olika typer av våld mot huvudet vilket utgör en fara för utövarnas liv och hälsa. För att säkra utövarnas säkerhet krävs det att utövningen sker under kontrollerade former. Men var går egentligen gränsen för vad som är tillåtet ur ett straffrättsligt perspektiv? Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) is a sport that has seen an increase in popularity in the last couple of years, including Sweden. The sport is violent and allows for several forms of violence against once head which can risk the lives and health of the practitioners. To secure the safety of practitioners it is required that the practice is performed under controlled forms. But how do you draw the line of
This thesis’ focus is upon accountability in a compacting governance context – the VSOPP-collaboration between the nonprofit organization Stadsmissionen and the public authority Region Skåne. Previous research has indicated that a collaborating governance context might either challenge traditional aspects of accountability or bring about non-traditional and horizontal aspects of accountability. Th
En utlänning som begår brott med fängelse i straffskalan kan utvisas ur Sverige. Utlänningen måste, för att utvisning ska bli aktuellt, dömas till ett strängare straff än böter och det måste antingen föreligga en risk för återfall i brottslighet eller vara fråga om ett brott som är så allvarligt att utlänningen inte bör få stanna i landet. Vid prövningen av utvisningsfrågan ska domstolen dessutom A foreigner who commits a crime that has prison in the punishment scale can be expelled from Sweden. For expulsion to become relevant the foreigner must be sentenced to a more severe penalty than a fine. There must also be a risk of relapse in crime or be a matter of such a severe crime that the foreigner should not be allowed to stay in the country. When the court examine the expulsion issue, it
Climate change has been identified as one of the greatest threats facing our world today. The effects of climate change are expected to increase global sea level rise and the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events. This poses a significant risk to cities due to their high population density and economic, political, cultural and commercial activities. Coastal cities in low- and middle-in
The shelf life of milk is amongst others dependent on the size of the oil droplets. These droplets can be measured using the laser diffraction (LD) technique. LD is a popular technique to measure particle size distributions (PSD) that has an outstanding broad measuring range capability, is easy-to-use and has a high reproducibility. While this technique is extremely popular, there are some conditi
