Denna uppsats syftar till att undersöka det strukturella problem som uppstår i säkerhetsrådet när rådet hamnar i en rättslig återvändsgränd på grund av ett veto. Uppsatsen utgår från diskussioner kring soft laws påverkan samt användning inom folkrätten och huruvida det kan vara ett användbart instrument för att kringgå sådana rättsliga återvändsgränder. FN-stadgan konstruerades på ett sätt som möj
This study is based on texts that concern experiences of sex in the grey zone between bad sex and rape. My aim is to elucidate how shame, age and the positions victim and perpetrator are used to tell stories about unpleasant sexual experiences. I also investigate how the authors renegotiate the conditions for how it is possible to talk about these experiences. The results show that the social con
This master thesis follows the process of a product design and development project concerning the mechanical design of an ultrasound sensor. The project giver is the global medical technology company Gambro specialized in products for dialysis. The mentioned ultrasound sensor is a level detector from Gambro’s hemodialysis ma-chines, designed to prevent the occurrence of air embolism. Air that for

Author: Cathrine Lorvik Advisor: Jesper Falkheimer Language: Norwegian Problem: Within the research field of investor relations there is lacking studies that focus on individual investors, i.e. the receiver perspective.

This paper was written in an attempt to study a less researched area of Swedish development aid and its effort to help build institutions in developing countries. Our purpose is to examine to which extent the practice of “twinning” - exchange projects between equivalent or similar government agencies in different countries - can lead to institutional development. We have interviewed five Swedish a
In this age of information, a person is accustomed to on demand and within seconds retrieve all thinkable information between heaven and earth with the help of a technical device. It’s therefore important that information is stored and presented in such way that a person can embrace it with ease. The IT company Nilex, where this research took place, provides such a storage in the form of a knowled
De flesta av anmälningarna till diskrimineringsombudsmannen rör etnisk diskriminering i arbetslivet. Trots detta har enbart ett fall av indirekt etnisk diskriminering och ett fall av etniska trakasserier konstaterats av de trettiotal mål rörande etnisk diskriminering som Arbetsdomstolen prövat sedan 1994. Allvarlig kritik har riktats till Sverige från Europarådets kommission mot rasism och intolerIn recent years, most reports regarding discrimination received by the Equality Ombudsman concern ethnic discrimination at work. Nevertheless, there are only two cases in which discrimination have been established by the Labour Court since 1994; one case regarding indirect ethnic discrimination and the other concerning ethnic harassment. A significant amount of criticism has been directed towards
Concepts are the basic building blocks of all knowledge, while the strength of the theories that guide any societal project is dependent on the quality those concepts. Contrarily, the utilization of questionable concepts will result in questionable material effects. As two of the oldest geographical concepts still in widespread use, ‘rural’ and ‘urban’ stand in stark contrast to the immense change
We study the problem of obtaining lower bounds for polynomial calculus (PC) and polynomial calculus resolution (PCR) on proof degree, and hence by [Impagliazzo et al. '99] also on proof size. [Alekhnovich and Razborov'03] established that if the clause-variable incidence graph of a CNF formula F is a good enough expander, then proving that F is unsatisfiable requires high PC/PCR degree. We further
Popular Abstract in Swedish Idén om ett särskilt slag av algebraiska strukturer, kallade "vertexoperator-algebror", uppstod på 1980-talet. Dessa algebror används för att formulera fenomen inom fysikens strängteori. Närmare bestämt beskrivs partiklar inom denna teori som vibrerande linjer (eller slutna öglor) snarare än punkter, och algebrornas operatorer avser att visa hur två sådana strängar kan The main purpose of this thesis is the study of the structure and representation theory of simple vertex operator algebras (VOAs) of affine type at admissible levels. To do this, it is crucial to obtain knowledge of the singular vectors which generate the maximal submodules, with respect to which these VOAs appear as irreducible quotients, and therefore a substantial part of the text is devoted to
We prove that any connected 2-compact group is classified by its 2-adic root datum, and in particular the exotic 2-compact group DI(4), constructed by Dwyer-Wilkerson, is the only simple 2-compact group not arising as the 2-completion of a compact connected Lie group. Combined with our earlier work with Møller and Viruel for p odd, this establishes the full classification of p-compact groups, stat
This thesis covers areas within estimation and optimal control of vehicles, in particular four-wheeled vehicles. One topic is how to handle delayed and out-of-sequence measurements (OOSMs) in tracking systems. The motivation for this is that with technological development and exploitation of more sensors in tracking systems, OOSMs gain more significance in various applications. The thesis derives
PURPOSE: A Swedish and Norwegian study was designed to examine health-related quality of life (HQL) in patients with head and neck cancer (head and neck) at diagnosis and during treatment and rehabilitation. The overall aim was to examine the impact on HQL at diagnosis depending on tumor location, stage, sex, and age (part I) and to describe HQL longitudinally and determine for which patients and
Gas turbines have served as economically profitable and reliable generators of power for the past few decades, and have mainly been used in simple and combined cycles. The increased restrictions on hazardous emissions and the increased demand for profitability have created new prospects for innovative power cycles. The requirements for these new power cycles are substantially better emissions, hig
A measure of coherence is said to be truth conducive if and only if a higher degree of coherence (as measured) results in a higher likelihood of truth. Recent impossibility results strongly indicate that there are no (non-trivial) probabilistic coherence measures that are truth conducive. Indeed, this holds even if truth conduciveness is understood in a weak ceteris paribus sense (Bovens & Har
