Cirka 3000 internationella investeringsavtal har ingåtts sedan 1960-talet för att främja och skydda gränsöverskridande investeringar över hela världen. Avtalen innehåller vanligtvis tvistlösningsmekanismen Investor-State Dispute Settlement (ISDS), som innebär att utländska investerare ges rätt att stämma värdstater inför en internationell skiljedomstol för åtgärder som potentiellt påverkar investeApproximately 3000 international investment agreements (IIAs), mostly bilateral investment treaties, have been designed since the 1960’s to promote and protect foreign investment across the world. In case of a dispute, the agreements provide for investor-state dispute settlement (ISDS) in an arbitration tribunal. Investors have, however, been successful in extending arbitration to issues concernin

Sherlock Holmes is one of the most famous protagonists in the literary genre of crime, but how he came to be is not often discussed. The stories about Holmes were written in the late 19th and early 20th centuries by Arthur Conan Doyle during a period when British society was developing in matters of human rights, law, and science. When Doyle wrote about Holmes, he employed methods of forensic scie

Previous studies of the Chinese imperative have treated syntax and prosody separately, have not considered gestures, and have looked at sentences in isolation and not in discourse. This study therefore investigated how the relationship between grammatical components, intonation (perceived stress), and gesture are co-organized and interact in the 把 bǎ ‘Ba’ construction (i.e., BA) of Chinese imperat

The Arctic is warming at a rate two to three times that of the global average. Although only covering a small area of the globe, it is a vital component of the climate system. Through climatic feedback effects the warming is enhanced, and risks leading to further climate change. Simulations of future Arctic change indicate that the region will warm 3-4°C above end of 20th century levels by 2050. C

The intrastate conflict between the Maoist inspired rebel group the Naxalites and the Indian government have been active since the late 1960s. This qualitative case study, use parts of Jacob Bercovitch’s framework ‘Contingency Model of Mediation’ to interpret the obstacles found in this case, in order to reach a successful negotiation situation. Six different factors in the conflict were analysed.

Dispersed across various states following the collective tragedy of the late 1940s, Palestinians nevertheless organised themselves into a coherent national movement during the 1960s and 70s. In exile and at home, they created local and ultimately national structures which eventually facilitated the expression of Palestinian concerns in international arenas. These shared spaces for democratic debat

This research is focused on the usage of nationalistic stereotypes in television commercials in the automotive industry. We specifically analyzed one case in which nationalistic stereotypes were used in an automotive advertisement in the USA, using netnographic and document analysis methods. Our main objectives were to first uncover how an automotive advertisement is now using these stereotypes to

Abstract: Background. In clinical heart transplantation, the most common method used to preserve the donor heart is cold flush perfusion with a cardioplegic solution, e.g. St. Thomas Solution. This method gives safe preservation for up to 4 hours. Methods. In organ baths, vessels segments of porcine coronary arteries were used to study the smooth muscle contractility and endothelial dependent an

Investments evaluation has been considerably studied by academics. Researchers argue that decisions are based on the least expensive investment because of the commoditization of Information Technology (IT) (Carr, 2003). Nevertheless, evaluating an investment strictly from a financial perspective may be problematic because it disregards other benefits that enhance organizational performance (Lin et

Healthcare might seem like it is a purely medical issue. Nothing could be further from the truth. Both politics, law and the economy are all closely tied to healthcare. In this thesis I analyze the sensitive topic of healthcare through a critical understanding of the European and Swedish political economies from the 1970s until today. Europe serves as the broad picture, while Swedish healthcare po

Plastic production is only increasing, and it‟s not showing any signs of slowing down. Microplastics are particles smaller than 5 mm, either produced intentionally, or created from items being withered into small particles. Microplastic contamination in marine environments is higher closer to cities, and most of the plastic litter eventually ends up in the oceans. Microplastics have been found in

The Asian tigers have been a tremendous case of economic success for decades. The economic financial crisis of 1997 put this to a test and they clearly passed it. This dissertation tries to unveil whether the same factors that led to the growth path in the 1960s, the so-called East Asian Miracle, are still responsible for overcoming the crisis. By means of factor analysis and a set of multivariate

In the current study, the aim was to investigate whether attentional bias—an automatic and nonconscious pre-attentive process of filtering sensory information for emotional relevance—could be induced in normal students, by manipulating levels of stress. In a within-subject experimental design where each participant completed 3 word search puzzles, it was predicted that the ratio at which participa

The deep-sea may be on the verge of becoming the latest frontier for resource extraction of critical metals and minerals in order to build renewable energy technologies such as electric vehicles. This thesis examines the narratives used by the deep-sea mining company The Metals Company to justify the extraction of polymetallic nodules from the seabed in the Clarion Clipperton Zone in the Pacific O
