The meaning of human rights locally can vary depending on a city's context. Therefore, the approaches of working with human rights locally can differ. Swedish municipalities tend to lack a structure of approaching human rights. However, the European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights (FRA) is about to publish a framework for how European human rights cities can approach human rights. This t

Aftermath of the Tsunami disaster in 2004 and current COVID-19 pandemic, developing nations have faced serious economic disparities. Sri Lanka, an island nation in South Asia, has faced the same economic hardships that many economies face globally. The hardest-hit segment of this economic incongruences has been the marginal communities. Post-Tsunami disaster development scenarios have revealed fem

The e-commerce sector in the modern, digital age is an increasingly important component of the global economy. For the European union, coping with this emerging market has meant regulatory challenges in several legislative areas, not least in the field of taxation. One of the most recent initiatives in removing obstacles for the e-commerce is the so-called VAT e-commerce package. The VAT e-commer

Lipids in the presence of a solvent can through the process of self-assembly form a number of phases referred to as Lipid Liquid Crystalline (LLC) phases. The inverse hexagonal, inverse bicontinuous cubic phases and sponge phase are examples of LLC structures that have been studied and used in drug delivery settings or food applications. For this project the focal point will be the sponge (L3) pha

Ljudbaserat varningsystem för videoströmning En kamera som observerar samma scen under en period utnyttjar att scenen inte förändras. Detta gör att kameran kan komma undan med att producera en relativt liten mängd data med fortsatt hög kvalitet. Men när förändringar sker i scenen så går det inte att utnyttja likheter mellan bilder på samma sätt. Med begränsning på hur mycket data kameran får prodModern video streaming may use the protocol H.264 to encode video in high quality. The protocol takes advantage of similarities between consecutive frames to lower the bit rate. If there are differences between frames the bit rate will therefore rise. To control the fluctuations in bit rate a rate controller (RC) can be used together with the encoder. The RC manages the quantisation levels of the

Individspecifik bildanalys och beräkningsmodell av läkande hälsena Hälsenan är den största senan i kroppen och hälseneruptur är en av de vanligaste sen- skadorna. Efter en ruptur läker senan med en ärrad vävnad och återfår inte sin intakta struktur. Detta innebär en stor risk för att hälsenan inte återfår sin funktion. I dagsläget brister kunskapen om vilken behandlings-metod som återställer hälsAchilles tendon rupture is becoming more prevalent with an increasing population of middle aged people participating in recreational sports. A torn Achilles tendon will likely not regain its original function, and it is unknown what treatment options are optimal. The Achilles tendon structure and how the tendon heals after a rupture varies between humans. A potentially useful tool in understanding

Syftet med uppsatsen har varit att undersöka huruvida det kan utgöra en kränkning av de mänskliga rättigheterna i Europakonventionen när stater inte lever upp till sina klimatåtaganden och inte gör tillräckligt för att motverka klimatförändringarna. Uppsatsen inleds med en allmän överblick av klimatförändringarna och dess konsekvenser i förhållande till mänskliga rättigheter samt en genomgång av dThe purpose of this thesis has been to examine whether it can constitute a violation of the human rights protected by the European Convention on Human Rights when states do not do their part to counteract climate change. The essay starts off with a general overview of climate change and its consequences in relation to human rights, as well as a review of the two most central climate agreements, th

Vilken plats har skönlitterärt skrivande i dagens svenskämne i gymnasieskolan? Nästan ingen, av styrdokumenten att döma. Det skönlitterära skrivandets roll har successivt tonats ner, och i dag finns det knappt omnämnt i styrdokumenten. Detta arbete har dels undersökt svensklärares inställning till skönlitterärt skrivande och i vilken grad de inkluderar det i sin undervisning, dels vilka delar i stWhat place is there for creative writing in the subject of Swedish in upper secondary schools? Judging by the policy documents, almost none. There has been a gradual devaluation of creative writing, and today’s policy documents barely make mention of it. This paper has on the one hand examined Swedish teachers’ attitudes to creative writing and to what degree they include such writing in their ins

Background: Cardiovascular disease is common and it is therefore important to have tools to investigate pathophysiology and normal physiology of the cardiovascular system. One such tool is using cardiovascular magnetic resonance in order to measure blood flow in vessels, particularly while the participant imaged is exercising. This enables studying the blood flow during exercise which is especiall

There is a dramatic apocalyptic prophecy in Isaiah 34 that contains many strange animals and creatures, and the question is: why are they lurking there in fire, smoke and darkness? This thesis aims at examining the meaning of these beings using traditio-historical criticism and key word and image analysis, in an attempt to understand Isaiah's reason for using them in the biblical context. The

Produktion av stödprotein för vidare strukturbestämning av jonkanal Vi människor precis som alla andra levande organismer består av pyttesmå celler. Dessa celler har ett membran, ett hölje som avdelar cellens inre miljö från dess yttre. Celler behöver kunna utbyta ämnen och kommunicera med sin omgivning och därför finns proteiner i membranet som fyller denna funktion, nämligen membranproteiner. AMembrane proteins are important building blocks for several biochemical processes. The difficulty with membrane proteins is that they tend to be lowly expressed and can be difficult to manage. Therefore, membrane proteins are studied to a lesser extent than soluble proteins. Since membrane proteins are intrinsically hydrophobic, their purification and structural determination critically rely on so
