Nyhetsläsning sker allt mer via de sociala medierna vilket skapar nya förhållanden för konsumtionen av nyheter och därmed även en förändring av det offentliga samtalet.

Möjligheten att dela nyheter med andra skapar även möjligheten at

This paper presents a case study from the Gambella region of Ethiopia, where large-scale land concessions shape the resource system and necessitate adoption of new institutions. Private investors are free from water charges, and have the right to take over already built irrigation structures such as dams or main canals.

Responsibility to Protect (R2P) is a principle that is always up for discussion, and has been since it was first mentioned in the ICISS report from 2001, which was issued as a consequence of that rhetorical question that Secretary General Kofi Annan asked about the genocide that occurred in Rwanda and Srebrenica in the 1990s. He questioned how we should react to systematic violations of Human Righ

Denna uppsats behandlar skydd för utländska investeringar och indirekt expropriation i internationell rätt. En erkänd regel inom internationell rätt föreskriver att egendom som tillhör utländska investerare inte får tillvaratas utan tillräcklig kompensation, oavsett om det är för ett offentligt ändamål eller inte. Medan en bedömning av direkt expropriation anses relativt okomplicerad att företa ha

The Chinese Central Government has made the promotion of biomass energy an important aspect of China’s national development plans on renewable energy. Numerous biomass energy projects emerged in rural areas in recent years. Official pronouncements regard biomass energy as an effective solution to China’s energy need and environmental problems.

Besittningsbegreppet är och har länge varit ett centralt begrepp inom den svenska sakrätten. Begreppet är avgörande i många fall, men saknar trots detta en reell definition. Inom sakrätten är besittning ett viktigt rättsfaktum som både presumerar äganderätt och skänker förfogandelegitimation. Detta märks framförallt när det handlar om tre typiska sakrättsliga problemsituationer: tvesala, godtrosföThe concept of possession is and has long been a central concept of the Swedish property law. Being a crucial and important concept, it has none the less never been fully defined by Swedish law. Possession is an important element of property law; being in possession of personal property means one is presumed to own the property or, at least, use the property. This becomes obvious when one looks at

De senaste åren har en debatt uppkommit angående om lagstiftningen bör ses över gällande våldtäkt. Det som framförallt debatteras är om ett samtyckeskrav bör införas. I denna uppsats kommer dock frågan om grov oaktsamhet bör kriminaliseras, med fokus på hur det kan legitimeras och hur det kan påverka domstolarnas dömande. För att bli dömd för brottet våldtäkt krävs det med nuvarande lagstiftningA debate has arisen during the last couple of years regarding rape in the Swedish Penal Code. The main topic of the debate is whether the current rape legislation is adequate, or if it should be replaced by a non-consent regulation. However, this paper will focus on the question if gross negligence should be regulated, if it would be a legitimate regulation, and how it could affect the ruling in c

Small and medium enterprises account for more than 90% of all enterprises operating in China, contribute to more than 60% of GDP and create about 80% of country’s jobs (Xinhua 2012). Large scale of the SME industry impacts significantly both on environment and social structures (Randriamalala et al. 2013:88). In the context of such importance of SME industry for economy and society it is logical t

The last decades China was highly relaying on export led growth, which drove the economy to enormous GDP growth rates. Due to the financial crisis in 2007/2008, its trade partners were loosing the ability to import as much as before and China’s GDP growth started to decline. The reason for that is the neglect of the domestic consumption rate of private households. This paper examines the correlati

Dysfagi (sväljningssvårigheter) definieras som svårighet eller omöjlighet att svälja mat, vätska eller läkemedel.

Förutom den fysiologiska försvagningen förekommer även en negativ psykosocial påverkan till följ
