There is a theoretical debate among social movement scholars around an increasing concern with the role of technology in terms of key social movement activities, including mobilization, running and engaging in campaigns and making claims on authorities. This research deals with this debate and contributes to it with this case study on the Georgian women’s movement. The research examines women’s m
Hur informeras konsumenterna om plastpåsarnas miljöpåverkan? Det senaste året har flera butiker börjat ta betalt för sina plastpåsar och det är inte ovanligt att få frågan ”Behöver du en påse?” när man handlar. Vad är det som har inspirerat denna förändring? Jo, den första juni 2017 infördes en förordning i Sverige som säger att alla som ger bort eller säljer plastpåsar till konsumenter: klädbuti
There is an ongoing discussion in information retrieval research regarding the merits of subject indexing with controlled vocabularies as opposed to relying on free-text descriptions. Earlier research has compared subject headings with other metadata, such as document titles or tables of contents, to determine the relative value of subject headings as subject access points in an information search
En nyfödd stjärna är omgiven av en disk som består till mestadels av gas med en liten andel grus, en så kallad protoplanetarisk disk. Det är i den här disken som planeter bildas, och likt planeter så roterar den runt solen. En viktig egenskap hos den protoplanetariska disken är att den förändras med tiden. Stjärnans gravitation drar till sig material från disken, vilken gör att den blir mindre ochThe rate of migration and accretion onto protoplanets is greatly influenced by the structure of the surrounding protoplanetary disc. This structure changes with time as the disc evolves on a million year timescale, implying that the process of planet formation might look very different depending on when it was initiated. Further on, the evolution of the disc structure is affected on smaller timesc
Describing many-body quantum systems has been an analytically and computationally challenging task since the advent of quantum mechanics. However, in the past 50 years as a result of our technological advancement and the emergence of methods such as density-functional theory (DFT), we have taken crucial steps forward regarding our ability to study and understand large quantum systems. In this work
Purpose: While the phenomenon of new product development (NPD) and cycle time in general is sufficiently covered in the literature, a clear picture of the NPD length in startups has not been available so far. Simultaneously, the literature emphasizes the entrepreneurial perception and judgment as major factor for the success of a business, but does not specifically refer to the NPD cycle time.
37 § i lagen (1915:218) om avtal och andra rättshandlingar på förmögenhetsrättens område (AvtL) stadgar att avtal om förverkande av pant är ogiltiga. Syftet med bestämmelsen är att skydda gäldenären mot situationer där maktobalansen mellan den presumtiva pantsättaren och panthavaren är väldigt stor. Direktiv 2002/47/EG om ställande av finansiell säkerhet (säkerhetsdirektivet) syftar till fastställAgreements on forfeiture of pledged property are void, according to 37 § of the Swedish Contracts Act (1915:218). The purpose of the prohibition is to protect the debtor from situations where the power imbalance between the future pledgor and pledgee are palpable. Directive 2002/47/EC on financial collateral arrangements, objects to ensure that the parties may freely agree to a method of enforceme
Climate change is the greatest challenge of our time. Despite efforts to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG), the emissions contribution from global aviation is set to increase. Electric aviation has emerged as an alternative which could form part of the solution. Sweden, which is on the path to carbon neutrality and has a long history in aviation, could contribute to the global efforts in mitigating clim
Länge har man kunnat läsa rapporter om tvångsarbete, barnarbete och andra missförhållanden i produktionskedjor. Den här uppsatsen tar sig därför an ämnet multinationella företags ansvar för mänskliga rättigheter. Materialet som analyseras är Sveriges respektive Frankrikes nationella handlingsplan om företagande och mänskliga rättigheter, genom en komparativ analysmetod. Det görs mot bakgrund av DaReports on forced labor, child labor and other misconduct in global production chains have been around for a long time. Therefore the main objective of this essay is the issue of human rights responsibility for multinational corporations. The Swedish and the French National Action Plans on Business and Human Rights, respectively, will be analysed through a comparative method. The essay will take o
Detta examensarbete handlar om Building Information Modelling, även förkortat BIM, i järnvägsbranschen. BIM är ett relativt nytt arbetssätt som börjar implementeras allt mer men samtidigt används traditionell projektering. Med bakgrund av detta ämnar detta examensarbete undersöka i vilka uppdrag som det är mest lönsamt att implementera BIM. Frågeställningarna som togs fram var: ● Vilken ekonomisk This thesis deals with the subject Building Information Modelling (BIM), in the railway industry. BIM is a relatively new way of working that is beginning to be implemented more and more at the same time as traditional design is used. This study aims to investigate in which projects it is most profitable to implement BIM. The aim of this thesis to study is the following questions: ● What are the f
För att kommissionen ska vara behörig att granska ett förvärv krävs det att kontroll har förvärvats i enlighet med koncentrationsförordningen. Således är kommissionen oförmögen att agera vid problematiska icke kontrollerande minoritetsförvärv (så kallade strukturella förbindelser). Det är dock inte bara förvärv av kontroll som kan orsaka betydande konkurrensskada. Liknande skada kan förekomma vid For the Commission to be competent to examine an acquisition, must concern an acquisition of control within the meaning of the Merger Regulation. Therefore the Commission is unable to act upon problematical non-controlling minority shareholdings (also known as structural links). Anticompetitive effects, however, may arise in situations where control has not been acquired. Established economic theo
The sex industry is a lucrative, multi-billion dollar business around the world. Many women and girls are trapped in prostitution with the consequences it gives. Prostitution as such is not seen as a human rights violation today. Trafficking and so-called ‘enforced prostitution’ are on the other hand seen as serious abuses of fundamental rights. The purpose of this thesis is to investigate and a
The principle that a mistreated foreign national has to attempt to be remedied in the host State before resorting to international measures has deep roots in international law. It is regarded as customary international law within the field of diplomatic protection, from which it has spread into other legal fields, one of them being arbitral proceedings under international investment agreements. S
The cross-border region of Øresund is one of the areas in Northern Europe where the largest concentration of highly educated people reside. Other authors argue that the integration process of the region has seemingly come to a halt due to a lack of interest from the inhabitants. This thesis argues that the young citizens of Øresund offers a shift in tendency towards the region and does so by takin
The average woman uses 11,000 tampons during her lifetime. Both sanitary pads and tampons have been proven to contain low levels of dioxins, which are a group of highly toxic environmental pollutants known to cause cancer, reproductive damage and endocrine disruption. Some scientists have concluded that dioxin levels in tampons are insignificant to the overall dioxin exposure of menstruating women
The aim of this study was to evaluate a central service for the monitoring of supplier compliance with Code of Conduct for social and ethical performance that the Sub-Association of Local Authorities and Regions (SKI) in Sweden provides for several Swedish municipalities. The evaluation has been carried out via combination of two approaches: a)A survey of participating municipalities’ thoughts an
The purpose of this study was to investigate massively-multiplayer online role-playing games from the social interactionist perspective. The aim was to chart the social interaction within the game environment as well build upon previous known findings concerning player's in-game preferences as well as the sociability of the game environment. The questions addressed by this study were: - How d
Digitaliseringen har ändrat samhället på många sätt. Idag delar människor med sig av all sorts information om sig själva och andra under nästan alla timmar på dygnet. Människor har anpassat sig till ett samhälle där de känner sig manade att hela tiden vara uppkopplade och representerade på internet. På senare tid har dock människor börjat inse att spridandet av information på internet kan ge oanadDigitalization has changed society in many ways. One of the results of the development of the online world is that people have formed the habit of sharing all sorts of information about themselves and others to everyone around them at all times. People have adapted to a society where they feel a compulsion to be repeatedly connected and represented on digital networks. However, individuals have st
The purpose of this thesis was to study how well the MRD-model (Mould Resistance Design) co-using the hygrothermal calculation software WUFI Pro 6 can predict mould growth in roof structures within long periods of time. The study was done on eleven roof structures situated at Malmberget within Gällivare Municipality between the years of 1961 – 2012 in WUFI Pro 6 (the structures were built around 1
Med de senaste årens skenande bostadspriser har bostadspolitiken återigen börjat få aktualitet i samhällsdebatten. Vissa argumenterar för att det beror på Sveriges generösa skattesubvention som medför en ökad inkomst för privatpersoner varpå de får ett större finansiellt utrymme att köpa en dyrare bostad. Avdrag för räntekostnader är något som särskilt har uppmärksammats under senare tid och idag With the past years of rampant housing prices, housing policy has once again begun to get topicality in the public debate. Some argue that it is due to Sweden’s generous tax subsidy that bring increased income for individuals, whereupon they get a greater financial space to buy a more expensive residence. Mortgage interest deduction is something that recently has been particularly noted, and today
