En sådan fråga är hur användande av GIS ser ut inom offentliga organisationer (så som Polisen, Räddningstjänsten och Ambulansverksamheten). I vår studie söker vi svar på vilken typ av GIS som bäst lämpas för dessa org

Denna rättighet är dock inte absolut, utan bortfaller om äktenskapet med lagtextens ord ingåtts uteslutande för att den ena maken ska få rätt till uppehållstillstånd (s.k. skenäktenskap).

Även om en domstol har domsrätt över ett mål så kan det finnas skäl som gör att domstolen avstår från att utöva sin domsrätt. Vilka skäl som gör att en domstol avstår sin domsrätt är olika från rättssystem till rättssystem. En domstol kan avstå sin domsrätt eftersom den anser att målet är alltför orelaterat till domstolen eller eftersom det redan finns ett liknande mål som är pågående hos en annanEven if a court has jurisdiction over a case there might be some situation when that court will decline to exercise this jurisdiction.

The mechanomyogram (MMG) is a mechanical oscillations observable on the surface of the skin as a muscle contracts. Measurement of the MMG utilizing contact sensors with a weight greater than 6 g has proved to interfere with the measurement. Use of optical displacement sensors without direct contact to the skin would remove this deficiency. A Michelson interferometer, an intensity shift set-up and

The collapse of the Soviet Union saw a shift in the way the international community perceived humanitarian interventions and the principles of sovereignty. With the world no longer divided along ideological lines, the United Nations found itself drawn into conflicts of a different nature, which resulted in the development of a new ‘norm’ of intervention, which saw human rights being promoted to th
