The international legal system has weathered sweeping changes during last decades as new actors have appeared in international system. Private Military Security Companies (PMSCs) are one example of the most prominent shifts occurred in the context of laws of war with International Humanitarian Law (IHL) being part of it. Traditionally IHL has been recognized as a body of law regulating the relatio
Under våren 2013 har en hydrogeologisk kartering gjorts av grundvattenmagasinet Hultan i Sjöbo kommun, södra Skåne. Projektet har utförts på uppdrag av Sveriges geologiska undersökning som en del i arbetet med ett av Sveriges miljömål; Grundvatten av god kvalitet. Undersökningen har innefattat brunnsinventering av enskilda brunnar i området, provtagning och analys av grundvattnet i två mätpunkter,During spring 2013 mapping of the ground water has been done in Hultan in Sjöbo municipality, south Scania. The project is an assignment from Geological Survey of Sweden as a part of the work with one of Sweden´s environmental quality objectives; Groundwater of good quality. The study has included inventory of private wells in the area, a collection of samples and analysis thereof of the groundwat
With today’s big market of smartphones and tablets, computers are no longer the only device with a web browser. As a result of this more and more web pages are designed to adjust to the size and resolution available for a specific device. When a web page adjusts like this it is called responsive web design. E-commerce via computer has been around for a while and is now used by many for their every
The prevalence of otitis media with effusion (OME) is much higher in infants born with cleft lip and/or palate (CLP) than without CLP. It would be interesting to know if the related hearing thresholds are poorer in infants with CLP than without, which could have a possible impact on the early development of hearing, communication and speech. The aim of the study was therefore to investigate the ea
The thesis has a problem-based approach and aims to examine whether accounting systems can be classified as principles- and rules-based. Further the thesis also aspires to examine if the classification can be applied on K3 and K2 and through that in the Swedish context. Through this discussion the thesis intends to provide a basis for understanding how the accounting regulations are structured in
Den utveckling och förändring som arbetslivet genomgått de senaste decennierna har lett till att bemanningsföretag blivit en allt vanligare företeelse i Sverige. Att arbeta som konsult via ett bemanningsföretag ställer krav på individen att vara flexibel vilket kan resultera i en känsla av stress och minskad kontroll på arbetet. Tidigare studier och forskning visar på att det finns ett samband mel
Att undersöka stjärnor i infrarött är en relativt ny företeelse till skillnad från optisk astronomi (dvs. synligt ljus). Det var först på 60-talet med teleskopet Stratoscope II som man lyckades få spektra från stjärnor i infrarött (våglängder på runt 3 m), och upptäckte förekomsten av vatten i kalla röda jättar. Den bakomliggade problematiken till varför modern infraröd astronomi är så ungt är våThe advent of infrared astronomy, unlike optical astronomy that was developed over centuries, was delayed until the space age due to our own atmosphere acting as an efficient shield towards this radiation. With a lot of molecules (including water) emitting in the infrared region, it was first in the late 1990s that water no longer was deemed special and was observed in many cooler (K-M) giant star
En portabel röntgenfluorescens (XRF) spektrometer användes i denna studie för att identifiera kemiska markörer relaterade till Krita–Paleogen (K–Pg) gränsen i North Dakota, USA. Vid K–Pg-gränsen träffades jorden av en asteroid vilket resulterade i ett av de fem stora massutdöendena. Nedslaget lämnade efter sig ett globalt spritt lerlager bestående av material från asteroiden samt berggrund från kaA portable x-ray fluorescence (XRF) device was in this study used to identify geochemical markers associated with the Cretaceous–Paleogene boundary in North Dakota, USA. At the time of the K–Pg boundary, an asteroid struck the Earth which resulted in one of the five big mass extinctions. The event left behind a globally distributed clay layer consisting of material derived from the asteroid and th
Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka hur ett företags branschursprung och interna styrkor påverkar dess strategier när de går in i ett standardkrig. Studien tar en abduktiv ansats där en fallstudie genomfördes med hjälp av semistrukturerade intervjuer på den svenska mobila betalningsmarknaden. Inhämtad primär- och sekundärdata analyserades via kodning och kontinuerliga jämförelser.Författarna har
This essay aims to enlighten people living with protection of personal data. How everyday life is affected for a person with protection of personal data is answered by a qualitative interview. We have also examine the protection society can offer people who are facing a definite threat. Living with protection of personal data is in many ways problematic for the threatened person and the hole life
Denna uppsats har undersökt huruvida graden av virtuell kommunikation (virtualitet) hos individer i virtuella team har ett samband med arbetstillfredsställelse. En webbaserad enkät skickades ut till ca 800 anställda på ett stort, internationellt företag och innehöll frågor angående hur nöjd man är med sitt arbete, hur mycket av kommunikationen som sker virtuellt samt två kvalitativa frågor med sty
Uppsatsen handlar om svenska bosniska muslimers upplevelser av vardagsrasism och särskilt sådana som kan relateras till islamofobi. Jag har gjort sex kvalitativa intervjuer med personer från Malmö och personer från en mindre stad. Enligt resultatet är inte svenska bosniska muslimer särskilt drabbade av just islamofobi utan mer av annan sorts vardagsrasism som negativa kommentarer eller allmän disk
The present thesis measures to what extent socioeconomic (SES) related child health inequalities exist in Ecuador, how has been its evolution in the last decade and which are the variables determining child health. In order to determine the SES-related child health inequalities a decomposition analysis is carried for the concentration index for two household surveys in 2004 and 2012. Results indic
Green walls have increased in popularity over the last couple of years. The many benefits of green walls have attracted the attention. Benefits such as the fact that they help cleaning the air from damaging particles as well as them help to increase the biodiversity. There are many different variants of green walls. The paper talks over living vertical walls and focuses upon living hydroponic wall
In the today's cold attics are wide problems with mould onset due to the humid climate in the attic. The reason for the mould damage are the thick insulation and absence of the chimney stock that makes the temperature drops in the attic. The mould onset is also due to less ventilation, the attic space is used as a storage room and air leakage through the attic hatch. A solution could be to iso

The task for this thesis was to implement a web interface that represents the chosen data in a graphical diagram. A big part of this thesis was to analyze d
Syftet var att studera hur anställda i riskzonen för stressrelaterad ohälsa upplevde deltagandet i en förebyggande stresshanteringskurs med inriktning mot naturens hälsofrämjande egenskaper. Frågeställningarna gällde kursdeltagarnas upplevelser av hur kursinnehållet påverkat deras stressrelaterade psykiska hälsa, vilken betydelse kursens inriktning mot naturens hälsofrämjande egenskaper haft samt
Callcenterbranschen växer kraftigt och flera forskare har uppmärksammat behovet av att identifiera vad som kännetecknar lämpliga kandidater för arbete på callcenters. Syftet med denna studie var att studera huruvida verbal förmåga, numerisk förmåga och personlighet, utifrån femfaktormodellen, predicerar typisk arbetsprestation hos anställda (N=100) på ett inkommande callcenter. Arbetsprestation opCall centres is a rapidly growing industry and several researchers have recognized the need to identify the characteristics of suitable candidates for work in call centres. The purpose of this study was to study whether verbal ability, numerical ability and personality based on the five factor model, predicts typical job performance of employees (N=100) in an inbound call centre. Job performance w
