The responsibility to protect emerged out of the need to find an alternative to humanitarian intervention to guarantee effective individual and collective security. Eight years after its conceptualization, the principle still lacks efficiency and is applied in an inconsistent manner. With an interest-based approach, this thesis aims to contribute to existing explanations of sovereignty and neo-imp

En tingsrätt i Sverige har påbörjat ett hälsoprojekt för notarier då ledningen vill ge dem ett redskap för att hantera känslor som kan uppkomma i mötet med människor i kris. Uppsatsens syfte är att undersöka hur notarierna beskriver känslomässiga krav och upplevelser i sin yrkesroll och på sin arbetsplats där hälsoprojektet är en integrerad komponent. Genom att intervjua sju notarier som delta

This qualitative case study analyses the Chilean NGO TECHO, now present in 19 countries in Latin America and the Caribbean, from the perspective of Foucault's concept of governmentality, as elaborated by Rose and Miller (2008). They argue that non-state modes of power are the defining features of contemporary societies, and that these operate through loose, associative networks through which a

Många lärare tycker att skolans uppdrag att utveckla både kunskaper och demokratiska värden hos eleverna är svårt att genomföra. Kan undervisning verkligen både bidra till att utveckla samhället samtidigt som skolan ska fostra, bevara och reproducera vissa normer, tankar och värden? Syftet med uppsatsen är att skildra hur elever och deras lärare beskriver och förhåller sig till bärande begrepp i

Ett språk är i ständig förändring, nya verb och uttryck myntas hela tiden. Ett språk lånar även ord från andra språk, anledningarna kan vara olika. I denna uppsats undersöks fyra engelska ord (appeal, competitor, design, target) som numera även finns i italienarnas vokabulär. Frågan är: hur används dessa ord i italienskan? Undersökningen har gjorts via ett italienskt corpus och det framgår att desLanguage never stops changing, new verbs and words are established all the time. A language sometimes borrows words from other languages, the reasons for why can differ. This essay investigates four English words (appeal, competitor, design, target) that nowadays can be found in Italian. The question is: how are these words used in Italian? The words have been searched for in an Italian corpus and

Surface chemistry and electrical properties of InAs and InP III-V semiconductor nanowires and nanowire based devices were studied using Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (STM) and Spectroscopic Emission and Low Energy Electron Microscopy (SPELEEM). Changes of the surface as well as electrical properties in these devices as a function of annealing temperature under atomic hydrogen background were studi

Personalen är hotellbranschens viktigaste resurs men trots detta har hotellbranschen länge präglats av hög personalomsättning och svårigheter med att rekrytera motiverad och kompetent personal. Utmaningen att rekrytera rätt servicepersonal är speciellt svår för livsstilshotellen, där även de unika koncepten ställer krav. Vi vill med denna studie bidra med ökad kunskap kring rekryteringsprocessen p

In this project a solution for the benefit of bicycle commuters is discussed. Information obtained by interviewing and observing bicycle commuters lays the foundation for a recumbent bicycle.

Tydligt avgränsade områden tenderar att snabbt möta problematiken i hur den begränsade ytan skall disponeras mellan lokalbefolkning, aktörer samt turister. Ytan blir snabbt kompakt vilket innebär påfrestningar på bärkraftigheten och visar sig i olika konsekvenser i samhället. Studien har genomförts för att utröna vilka olika förhållningssätt till hållbar utveckling aktörerna antar och vilka möjlig

This thesis targets the Swedish labour immigration law for third-country nationals (TCNs): persons coming from outside the EU, ESS, and Switzerland. The reform, implemented in 2008, aims to positively influence circular migration. This study sets out to analyze strengths and flaws of the new system, through investigating the perception of actors in contact with the current legal labour migrant sit

While Taiwanese identity within a political or economic China-Taiwan framework has been extensively investigated, Taiwanese identity in a global context is relatively unexplored. This paper studies how young Taiwanese sojourners in Sweden encounter their identity when they are outside the physical borders of Taiwan and what it means to be Taiwanese in the globalized world. 14 in-depth interviews w

Vulvar pain has been known of for thousands of years but the general knowledge of vulvar pain is limited and the condition receives less medical attention than other disorders. Previous research focus on physical and/or psychological causes, treatment strategies and problematizing female sexuality due to women’s inability to engage in sexual intercourse. This master thesis attempt to understand v

The issue of security is still an aspect of concern for domestic and international politics. In Southeast Asia, in 2003, the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) agreed to establish three pillars for the future single community by 2015: the ASEAN Political-Security Community (APSC), the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC), and the ASEAN Socio-Cultural Community (ASCC). To live at peace with o

The target shaft in the Target Station of the ESS facility rotates and supports the target wheel and serves as an inflow and outflow for the coolant. Different kinds of stresses that the target shaft is exposed to can create defects or ruptures. Therefore the target shaft has to be monitored so material damage can be avoided. The objective of this master thesis was to investigate the possibility f

Cloud computing is an infrastructure that allows companies to rent any type of computing resources, such as network capacity and processing power, according to their current needs. Rather than a new technology, cloud computing is a new way of delivering computing resources. Despite the advantages that this infrastructure brings, it still poses many threats in several areas. In Sweden alone one thi

The aim of this thesis was to identify the implications of the normative premises which are present in the NGO AgainstHTR-S, which works with assistance of victims of human trafficking for sexual purposes. This in order to outline how and why the NGO has the potential to adapt its “Attention Model” to the needs of the individual. In conjunction with a field work in Costa Rica, empirical data was g

As aerosol particles are important for global climate effects, their sources and influence on global aerosol particle concentrations need to be quantified. One of the major aerosol sources in the atmosphere is new particle formation (NPF) of new nanometer sized particles in the atmosphere. The influence on the global aerosol concentration due to NPF events is however not well quantified. The goals
