In Tanzania, there has been a notable increase in the importation and sale of secondhand clothing, popularly referred to as Mitumba, with a significant focus on low-income populations. This growth has been driven by the affordability and accessibility of these garments, which have become a staple in the wardrobes of many Tanzanians. However, with all of this growth, there are now urgent concerns a
Sedan 2017 har elsparkcyklar fått ett stort genombrott i Sverige och har blivit ett allt vanligare transportmedel för att åka korta sträckor. Elsparkcyklar framförs i allt större utsträckning i urbana trafikmiljöer och detta kan innebära en större osäkerhet och otrygghet av elsparkcyklar i städerna och trafiksäkerheten kan påverkas negativt för oskyddade trafikanter. Detta examensarbete har som måSince 2017, electric scooters have become an increasingly common means of transportation in urbanized cities across Sweden for cover short mileage. Electric scooters are seen more often in urbanized cities and this can imply a greater sense of danger when the vehicles are driven more frequently in urban traffic environments, thus causing a greater impact on road safety for vulnerable road users.

När föräldrar inte själva kan komma överens i frågor om vårdnaden om, boendet för eller umgänget med sitt barn, kan frågorna tas upp hos socialtjänsten eller i domstol. När beslut om barn ska fattas, ska barnets bästa vara den slutligt bestämmande faktorn, en aspekt i bedömningen om barnets bästa är barnets behov av en nära och god kontakt med båda föräldrarna. En (radikal)feministisk utgångspunk
Rättstillämpare ställs ofta inför juridiska frågor, problem och bedömningar och behöver lösa dessa även när det inte finns uttryckliga och specificerade lagbestämmelser att tillgå. Rättstillämpare förlitar sig på rättsprinciper för att tolka vaga och otydliga lagbestämmelser. Till skillnad från rättsregler är inte ursprunget till rättsprinciper uppenbar. De är ofta inte befästa genom lag och medföJudges and authorities are often faced with legal issues, problems and assessments and need to resolve these even when there are no explicit and specified legal rules available. They then rely on legal principles to interpret vague and unclear legal rules. Unlike legal rules, the origin of legal principles is not obvious. They are often not consolidated by law and therefore entail an unpredictabil
Computer programs are excluded subject matter ''as such'' under the EPC. However, once ''technical character'' can be established in a software invention, and it fulfills all the requirements for patentability - being an invention, which is novel, has inventive step and is industrially applicable - software is very much patentable. The technical character requiremen
This thesis aims at comparing the differences between Chinese welfare system and Swedish welfare system in respects of maternity insurance, parental leave and childcare.

Offentlig upphandling är ett ämne där många har synpunkter och ämnet har också debatteras frekvent i media och inom den juridiska diskursen. Inte minst handlar det om miljökrav där också fler och fler använda sig ut av dessa krav i sina upphandlingar. Ett samordnade och stödjande arbete med råd om hur man kan ställa miljökrav har bedrivits, inte minst inom ramen för Miljöstyrningsrådet (MSR). SamPublic procurement has been frequently debated in news-media but also in the legal discourse, during the last years. Especially regarding the possibility to set environmental goals and we can see these requirements being more frequently used. Coordinating and supporting functions has been developed with advice on how to set these types of requirements. For example has MSR (Miljöstyrningsrådet) bee
Drift av kärnkraftverk och andra kärntekniska anläggningar resulterar i radioaktivt avfall. Att mäta och karakterisera detta avfall finns det ett stort behov av då en tunna med radioaktivt avfall hamnar i olika förvar beroende på hur högaktivt och långlivat innehållet är. Visar det sig att avfallet är tillräckligt lågaktivt kan innehållet friklassas, d.v.s. att hantering/användning av materialet kIn order to store radioactive waste its contents need to be known. Determining radioactive waste can be achieved by different means. The most common method is using a detector to measure the gamma photons produced by the radionuclides in the waste. A widely used method is Segmented Gamma Scanning, in which the waste package is rotated in front of a detector and then raised to the next vertical seg
I denna studie görs en livscykelanalys på en solfångare som Kristianstads Industri Service AB (KISAB) utvecklar. Även en mindre jämförelse görs med en solfångarstudie från Battisti, R (2005). KISAB:s solfångare har inga absorbatorflänsar utan den fungerar liknande en integrerad vattentank men med väldigt lite medium i den. KISAB:s solfångare består till 80 % av aluminium eftersom både absorbatorn This paper reports the result of a life-cycle analysis done on a solar thermal collector in Sweden. Kristianstad Industri Service AB (KISAB) is developing a solar thermal collector with a framework and absorbing plate made out of aluminium and no flow tubes. The aluminium is instead hollow and the whole area of the absorbing plate is therefore in contact with the coolant. The solar thermal collect

Education is one of the key components in developing identity, personality and a sense of belonging in the time of peace. But when weaponized by the states as a tool of indoctrination, education becomes a highly effective instrument of war, contrary to the relevant rules prescribed by the international humanitarian and international human rights law. This weaponization of education was widely empl

The aim of this essay is to explore the motif in the Epistle to the Hebrews of the believers’ entry into the Heavenly Sanctuary. The author portrays how Christ, on behalf of the believers, has entered into heaven with his own blood as a high priest and as a forerunner. But the author also exhorts his readers that they ought to enter the Sanctuary (Heb 4:14–16, 10:19–22). It is this theme I explore
