States have discretion what concrete measures to undertake to fulfil their primary positive obligations under the ECHR. If a violation of these obligations is found, states also have discretion how to execute the judgment to comply with their secondary obligations. Yet, when the Court reasons to reach a conclusion whether there has been a violation, it necessarily specifies possible concrete measu
The raison d’être of the humanities is widely held to reside in its unique ability to generate critical thinking and critical thinkers. But what is “critical thinking?” Is it a generalized mode of reasoning or a form of political critique? How does it relate to discipline-specific practices of scholarly pursuit? How does it relate to discourses of “post-truth” and “alternative facts”? How is it be
Terrorism är ett begrepp som sedan länge har varit svårt att definiera inom den internationella rätten. Trots omfattande internationell reglering har det inte vuxit fram någon övergripande och allmänt accepterad definition inom vare sig traktaträtten eller sedvanerätten. Mot denna bakgrund hävdade Specialtribunalen för Libanons överklagandekammare i ett beslut från 2011 att internationell terrorisThe definition of terrorism has long posed difficulties within international law, and despite extensive international regulation, no comprehensive and generally accepted definition has emerged under either treaty law or customary international law. Against this background, the Appeals Chamber of the Special Tribunal for Lebanon asserted in its 2011 Interlocutory Decision that international terrori
Arbetet utreder faderskapspresumtionen och närliggande rättsområden. Syftet med detta är att granska presumtionen och utvärdera om denna är att anse fyll-ler sitt syfte. Detta görs genom att analysera såväl hur det sett ut historiskt som att konstatera hur den gällande rätten ser ut. Detta har även ställts emot de intressen som finns i samhället, hos föräldrarna samt principen om barnets bästa. HThe project audits the presumption of fatherhood in the Swedish legal system and related legal areas. This is done to evaluate if the presumption is fulfilling its purpose. To achieve this a thorough analysis of the subject is conducted. The history of the legal area is explored, and the applicable law is reviewed. The interests in of the different involved parties such as the parents and the publ
Citizen collaboration is essential to tackling global sustainability issues. People have different motivations for participating. However, there is a lack of studies on citizen motivations for participating in local sustainability initiatives. To address this gap, the present study looked into the motivations of the residents of the Sege Park neighbourhood in Malmö, Sweden. The study interviewed n
This paper explores associations between education and life expectancy by sex at the district level in Costa Rica for the Census years 1984, 2000 and 2011. Previous research on the topic have shown mixed results on the gradient between SES and health outcomes for Costa Rica. This ecological study is the first to use districts as the unit of observation, which allows for a more elaborate analysis i
The thesis aims to investigate the role of local lead firms in the transformation of smallholders’ technological capabilities towards sustainable agriculture production through the lens of global value chain governance. The technological capabilities that help smallholders adopt and apply sustainable agriculture practices and comply with sustainability standards are related to production, investme
Sedan det europeiska projektets tidiga dagar har de underliggande ekonomiska motiven för integrationen konfronterats med allmänna intressen såsom oro för miljön. Denna spänning har varit påtaglig, i synnerhet förhållandet mellan nationella åtgärder som syftar till att skydda miljön och allmänna bestämmelser som reglerar EU:s inre marknad. Med tiden har miljöskydd och hållbar utveckling blivit inteSince the early days of the European project the economic rationale of integration has been confronted by public interests such as concerns for the environment. This tension has been tangible particularly in the relationship between national measures aimed at protecting the environment and the general rules governing the internal market. Over time environmental protection and sustainability have b
Experimental nuclear structure data coming from superheavy nuclei synthesis experiments often consists of correlated alpha decay chains. In the absence of neutron detectors - which would fully characterize the exit channel after the fusion-evaporation reaction - the sequence of decay energies and half-lives are the 'fingerprint' of the exit channel itself. Experimental data in this region
The substantial growth of private health insurance in 21st century Sweden has sparked debates about its potential effect on waiting times within the public health care system. Some argue that individuals with private health insurance are prioritized in the waiting list for health care, potentially leading to longer waiting times for those without private coverage. Conversely, others argue that pri
The Black Forest National Park (NP), Germany, opened in 2014 after intense societal disputes, complicated by changing political factors, scientific conservation debates, and multi-level decision-making structures. I argue that value conflicts over fundamentally opposed views on nature underlie these disputes, and that integrating these views in future NP planning may improve the sustainability of
Iron deficiency is the most common nutritional disorder in the world. It is the only nutrient deficiency that is not exclusively prevalent in non-industrialized nations but also in all industrialized countries. Despite this, the treatment for the disease is inefficient, long and associated with side effects such as constipation and nausea. In recent years several studies have highlighted the diffe
The aim of this research was to explore the consumer behavior of international students in the context of the choice for a higher education institution abroad in order to gain insights on their interactions with different online media communication channels during their decision journey. Previous research discussed the increased use of the internet during the application process for universities a
This master’s thesis investigates sustainability management within a fashion company and how a company could use the sustainability management tool the Higg Index 2.0 Brand and Retail Module to work towards its prioritised UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). It is a comparative review of the two frameworks, the Index and the SDGs, from a life cycle analysis perspective. It also includes a cas
Consumers are increasingly becoming aware of the abusive exploitation of workers in some of the factories in the development countries that are contracted to produce exports to the European market. Thus, some of the consumers try to promote the enforcement of ethical business practices globally by using their buying behaviour. In effect, the ethical consumers prefer to buy ethically sound goods to
This research paper uses an explanatory sequential mixed method design to examine the factors influencing students' decision-making regarding their future and the impact of Brexit on these choices. The study aims to understand the interplay between various factors and Brexit's role in shaping students' decisions. Initially, quantitative analysis of the 2017 CPC-ONS-UUK SoGIS survey dat
Background: Virtual Reality cognitive behavioral therapy (VR-CBT) has proven to be an effective treatment method for paranoia and anxiety in psychosis. However, it is unknown, which individuals benefit most from VR-CBT. Previous studies examined factors affecting the treatment effect of regular CBTp, including illness duration, paranoia, depression, and pre-therapy avoidance behaviors, but results
BACKGROUND: Given the limited research focusing on psychotherapeutic interventions for suicide attempters, it is noteworthy that the Attempted Suicide Short Intervention Program (ASSIP) has demonstrated promising results in previous studies. In this investigation, we aim to evaluate the effectiveness of ASSIP across diverse healthcare settings, outlining the study design and planned evaluation.MET
Warmer temperatures and the combined effects of wind and water erosion leads to serious soil loss. Identifying the contribution of different drivers to wind and water compound erosion can improve soil erosion management in the watershed. Accordingly, we calculated the erosion energy based on energy theory and applied the mutation test and trend analysis to explore environmental drivers, runoff, an
