Daylight analysis is often carried out when definitive decisions about space characteristics such as materials, colours, window characteristics and furnishing have not yet been made. Such late design choices, which are first introduced or can still be changed late in the design process or even after its conclusion, impact the daylight levels of interior spaces. This study explored the impact of la

Three classical theorists in sovereignty, namely Jean Bodin, Thomas Hobbes, and Samuel von Pufendorf comprehend the main philosophical corps of the thesis, which will be operationalised by studying three constit

It is increasingly agreed upon by both scholars and policymakers that policies have different gendered effects. Agricultural input subsidies are highly debated policies in Africa. They were popular in the 1960s and 1970s, removed under the SAPs and liberalisation schemes in the 1980s and 1990s, and have been making a comeback since the turn of the century. This study aims to analyse to what extent

There exists considerable debate on the utility of ILO’s decent work agenda and its four pillars of full employment, rights at work, social dialogue, and social protection in the context of emerging economies. Whether these pillars be achieved in unison or if there a need to prioritize a pillar over another and whether the notion as a whole is complementary with other development objectives like e

Det finns just nu momentum för att stängda de luckor i lagstiftningen kring företags ansvar för negativa effekter på mänskliga rättigheter. En av de mest ambitiösa åtagandena hittills är initiativet till ett EU-direktiv med syfte att kräva skälig aktsamhet (så kallad ”due diligence”) och ansvar från företag för påverkan på mänskliga rättigheter och miljön. Ett lagförslag förväntas komma under somm

Biodiversity is today rapidly decreasing, and one of the main threats is land use intensification in forest landscapes. By improving the forest quality in the surrounding landscape of protected areas, the level of biodiversity could increase, and green infrastructure areas have been proposed as a method in Sweden. These areas are called Valuable Forest Areas (VFAs), and contain high densities of s

Reaching the targets of the Paris Agreement requires acceleration of low-carbon energy transitions. At the same time, it is not fully understood why some technologies spread more rapidly and widely than others. This thesis advances our understanding of the diffusion of large-scale low-carbon technologies by bridging technology diffusion studies and political economy of transitions. Through combini

Recent research suggests that it is the decline in the frequency of ‘shrinking’ episodes, and not higher growth rates, that are more important for long-term development. A growing body of literature also focuses on how income inequality and poverty affect economic growth rates, with a consensus emerging about their negative impacts. By employing a framework centred around social capabilities, this

Regional integration on the African continent has been promoted for decades as a means to sustained economic development in Africa, with multiple agreements on the continent to stimulate such integration.

Ett verkställighetsbeslut kan förenas med tvångsmedel som ökar incitamentet för föräldrarna att följa vad som har beslutats enligt 6 kap. FB.

A decision to enforce execution can include means of coercion which are meant to incite the enforcement of what has been decided in the best interests of the child. Enforcement can howeve

En grundläggande princip inom straffrätten är in dubio pro reo. Principen innebär att åklagaren bär bevisbördan i brottmål och att domaren i tveksamma fall ska döma till den tilltalades fördel. Denna princip ligger till grund för oskyldighetspresumtionen som innebär att en tilltalad ska presumeras vara oskyldig till motsatsen bevisas. Oskyldighetspresumtionen har indirekt tillämpats i svensk rätt A fundamental principle in criminal law is in dubio pro reo. The principle imply that the prosecutor bears the burden of proof in criminal cases and that the judge, when in doubt, must rule in favor of the accused. This principle is the basis for the presumption of innocence, which means that a defendant must be presumed innocent until proven guilty. The presumtion of innocence has been indirectly

I Sverige finns en väletablerad marknad för handel med barn för sexuella ändamål. Det är dock väldigt få anmälda brott som leder till åtal eller fällande dom. Detta visar på att barn som faller offer för människohandel inte innehar fullt rättsskydd. Den 1 januari 2020 trädde barnkonventionen i kraft som lag i Sverige, implementeringens primära syfte var att stärka barns rättsliga ställning. SyftetIn Sweden, there is a well-established market for child trafficking for sexual purposes. However, there are very few reported crimes that lead to prosecution or conviction. This shows that children who are victims to human trafficking do not have full legal protection. On January 1st, 2020, the Convention on the Rights of the Child entered into force as law in Sweden.

Digitaliseringen har revolutionerat våra samhällen. Hur vi kommunicerar och interagerar med varandra och hur vi handlar produkter och tjänster har över de senaste åren varit föremål för drastiska förändringar. Bakom dessa förändringar står ett fåtal digitala jättar. Trots att förändringarna har ökat konsumentvälfärden och i regel varit positiva, har farhågor lyfts. Detta har inte minst uppmärksammDigitalization has revolutionized our societies. How we communicate and interact with one another and how we purchase goods and services has changed drastically. A select few technological giants are the driving force behind these changes. Despite the increase in consumer welfare and the overall heightened standard of living, concerns have been raised, especially within the discourse of competitio

I december 2019 hittade polisen en termosbomb i ett underjordiskt garage i Malmö. En av personerna som misstänktes för brottet hade tidigare dömts för liknande typer av brottslighet och hade en koppling till Hells Angels.
