Feminist foreign policy initiatives have since they first appeared weathered criticism when put in relation to an active weapons export often to non-democratic states violating women’s rights. This paper then examines the Swedish case by using argumentation analysis as method to test the moral commitments of Sweden’s foreign policy initiative against recent arms deals. It was made to explore the p
Det snabba skiftet inom bilindustrin mot elektiska fordon sätter stor press på inte bara biltillverkare, utan på hela försörjningskedjan för elbilar. Detta innefattar litiumjonbattericeller som är det mest moderna sättet att lagra energi i elbilar. Den tekniska utvecklingen av litiumjonceller drivs i stor utsträckning av behoven från biltillverkare. Under det senaste årtiondet har det inneburit atThe rapid transformation of the automotive industry to electric vehicles is putting immense pressure on not just vehicle manufacturers (OEMs), but the entire battery electric vehicle (BEV) supply chain. This includes lithium-ion battery cells, the current state-of-the-art technology for energy storage in BEVs. The technological development within lithium-ion battery cells, which is greatly driven
I Sverige är straffbarhetsåldern 15 år vilket innebär att barn under 15 år kan begå brott men inte lagföras. En förundersökning kan då inte inledas. I stället kan en så kallad § 31 – utredning inledas vid de grövsta våldsbrotten. Till skillnad från vid en förundersökning saknas det idag rättsliga förutsättningar för målsägande att få juridiskt biträde vid en § 31 – utredningen. I utredningen ”FörbIn Sweden, the age of criminal responsibility is 15, which means that children under 15 can commit crimes but not be prosecuted. When this happens, a preliminary investigation, should not be held, but a so-called § 31 investigation can be held for the most severe crimes of violence. Unlike in the case of a preliminary investigation, there are currently no legal conditions for the injured party to
Cancer är en av de vanligaste dödsorsakerna och står bakom 10 miljoner dödsfall varje år. De vanligaste och mest studerade behandlingarna av cancer inkluderar kemoterapi och cellgifter, men det finns även andra sätt att behandla cancer. Ponera att kroppen själv kunde ta hand om cancer. Människans immunförsvar kan besegra både virus och bakterier, så intuitivt borde det inte vara mycket svårare föAccounting for 10 million deaths and 20 million new cases every year, cancer is one of the most common causes of death. The interest in trying to understand this lethal disease using mathematical models has increased steadily for many decades. Methods for boosting the immune system to better fight cancer (immunotherapy) have also been long present. However, the full potential of immunotherapy me
När de kritiska mönsterdimensionerna för högteknologiska enheter fortsätter krympa och mönstertätheten fortsätter öka, behöver även litografin att gå i samma riktning. En lovande teknologi är sampolymerlitografi, som har en upplösning under 10 nm, en mönsterperiodicitet omkring 7-200 nm, och lätt kan skalas upp till större ytor till en låg kostnad. Användandet av sampolymerer där de ingående blockAs high technology device patterns are continuing to move towards decreasing critical dimensions and increasing pattern density, there is a need for lithography to move in the same direction. Block copolymer (BCP) lithography is a promising technique, which has single digit nanometer resolution, has a pattern periodicity of about 7-200 nm, and easily scales up to large area at a low cost. The use

The current use of a 30 million year dateline for accepting genera in the Parmeliaceae is evaluated. Its value is doubtful since evolution obviously went quicker in some lichen groups compared with others. Parallel evolution is also very common among lichens. Polyphyletic genera should always be split, while sister groups may remain split or be combined after considering non-molecular characters.
The topic of social equity in transport planning has been dealt with in particular by authors such as Martens (2012) and Martens and Golob (2012) using a social justice based approach. However, such an approach, whilst valuable and analytically rigorous (based as it is on accessibility modelling), does not consider a wide range of possible other social impacts of transport, as set out in a framewoThe topic of social equity in transport planning has been dealt with in particular by authors such as Martens (2012) and Martens and Golob (2012) using a social justice based approach.

Furthermore, the thesis also aims at describing the effects of how the main contractor’s management is influenced by the work method. This thesis was initiated through literature studies to gain an extended theoretical background. A case study
Grön offentlig upphandling är idag en självklarhet och har gått från att vara förknippat med misstänksamhet till att vara accepterat och främjat av lagstiftning och politik. De juridiska möjligheterna för grön offentlig upphandling har framförallt utarbetats genom EUD:s praxis på området. Direktiv 2004/18/EG skulle bl.a. implementera EUD:s praxis och göra det tydligare för när miljöhänsyn är möjliThis master thesis deals with the general questions of how and when environmental considerations can and may be regarded during a public procurement process. Green public procurement has developed from being something viewed with suspicion to becoming a definite and promoted instrument by Law and politicians. This paper reviews the possibilities and pitfalls of green public procurement according
This paper is about policy agenda and climate policies in Sweden. It examines why the alternative of a meat tax isn’t placing on the Swedish policy agenda. The study uses John W. Kingdon’s theory on agenda change presented in his book Agendas, Alternatives and Public Policies, to analyze why a meat tax isn’t seriously considered as a climate policy to reduce GHG-emissions from meat consumption.

Denna studie fokuserar på en nästan 1700 år lång sjösedimentsekvens från Hässeldala Port i centrala Blekinge, sydöstra Sverige. Den omfattar övergångsperioden mellan pleistocen och holocen, eller mer precist eventen GI-1a och GS-1 samt början av den holocena epoken i iskärnorna, vilket motsvarar de sydsvenska pollenzonerna sen allerød till tidig preboreal.

It was the cooling event, of the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM), also known as the Ice Age. During this event almost one third of the Northern Hemisphere was covered by ice. Most likeley it was triggered by the change in the water circulation pattern of th
AI tar oss ett steg närmare en lösning till gåtan bakom flexibla proteiner Proteiner är byggstenarna till det mikroskopiska maskineri som utför i stort sett alla biologiska processer i naturen. När vi vill utveckla läkemedel för att lösa problem som kan uppstå i maskineriet eller bekämpa angripande patogener är förståelse av proteiners 3-dimensionella struktur ovärderlig. Visualisering av proteinThe deep learning revolution has contributed to a great leap in protein structure prediction, but predicting the multiple conformational states that proteins can hold remains an open problem. This thesis approaches this problem through the use of MSA Transformer, a protein language model pre-trained on multiple sequence alignments, that has demonstrated the ability to learn protein properties such
Despite available training in food safety, regular inspections from the authorities and strict laws and regulations, the number of suspected food poisoning is estimated at 500,000 cases per year in Sweden (Norling, 1994). Since the 1990s, there have been discussions about introducing a "mandatory food driver's license" to improve food safety in Sweden. But no such license exists toda
The Nordic country of Sweden portrays itself as a leader in sustainable development and human rights advocacy. However, the expansion of what is portrayed as “green” mining activities in Sami territories creates cumulative pressure on traditional livelihoods like reindeer husbandry, which raises questions about the sustainability narrative. Previous research has focused on Swedish policy documents
Sedan 1999 är det olagligt i Sverige att tillägna sig sexuella tjänster mot ersättning. Kriminaliseringen var en följd av flera statliga utredningar och en del av kvinnofridsreformen. Skyddsintressena sågs vid den här tiden som dubbla, såväl den svagare parten som ofta utnyttjas av köparen som det allmänna nämndes i förarbetena till lagen. Vid utvärderingsutredningen 10 år senare lyftes att det skSince 1999, the purchase of sexual services is illegal in Sweden. The criminalization was a result of several government investigations and a part of the women's integrity reform. It was motivated mainly by two interests: on the one hand the protection of the weaker party, who is often exploited by the buyer, and on the other hand the general public were mentioned in the legislative history.

Underrättelseverksamhet bedrivs till stor del i syfte att förebygga eller förhindra brott. En vital del av utredningsarbetet är att identifiera och avgränsa potentiella misstänkta. Arbetsmetoden kallas för förutsägande profilering. Metoden förutsätter bearbetning och insamling av uppgifter när misstanken ännu inte kan individualiseras. Sådana uppgifter kan innehålla så kallade känsliga personuppgiIntelligence service is largely conducted by crime prevention agencies. A vital part of the investigation is to identify and delimit potential suspects. The method is called predictive profiling. The method implies processing and collecting information when the suspicion cannot yet be individualized. Such data may contain so called sensitive data.
