Since national independence many NGOs active in the domain of gender have been established in Kyrgyzstan. Recently, this part of the NGO sector has seen the emergence of alternative organizations, voicing new issues and perspectives. In this thesis, I take a closer look at these new actors: how they differ from the older generation and also in relation to each other. I am especially interested in

I dagens samhäThis thesis is written in the field of family law, more precisely about the law of succession. The thesis describes the spouse’s right to inheritance by comparing the rules in Sweden, Norway and Denmark. In the Swedish law of succession, it has long been the kinship that controlled where the estate of a deceased person should end up. The legislature has to some extent moved away from this. It is
For long there has been an ongoing debate about whether or not employees working in the private sector should have the right to publish information about their workplace. Several commissions have taken form regarding this issue, but none of them have led to legislation. In June 2012 it was decided that a new commission shall investigate this matter, this time regarding sectors financed by public f
According to the curriculum of the preschool, one of it's purposes is to work with equality, and to challenge traditional gender roles. Despite this, many preschools still lack active work with gender/equality – the difference amongst pre-schools is sometimes extreme. I tried to find elements that influence preschool teachers to choose to work with gender and equality. Some of these elements a
The purpose of this study is to show how eating meat as a norm is linked to gender, and more specific; to problematize the meat normativity and its connection to masculinity. By conducting interviews with both male meat eaters and vegans, I wanted to see in what ways gender is performed through the speech of meat, and how male vegans relate to and are influenced by the connection between masculi
Aktivering av immunförsvaret dämpar den samme Kroppens immunförsvar består av en mängd olika typer av specialiserade celler, alla med sina unika egenskaper och nischer. För att immunförsvaret ska fungera så optimalt som möjligt krävs det att cellerna kan interagera och kommunisera med varandra, vilket görs med hjälp av proteiner som finns på cellernas yta. En typ av celler, som kallas CD8+ T cellAbstract 4-1BB (CD137/TNFRSF9) is a costimulatory receptor expressed by several cellular subsets of the immune system, but is commonly associated with CD8+ T cells. Stimulation of 4-1BB on CD8+ T cells with agonistic antibodies (α-4-1BB) causes a potent proliferation signal and an upregulated expression of CD11c. CD11c+CD8+ have previously been recognized to suppress other immune cells, such as F
The purpose of this paper was to examine how five persons who identify themselves as porn addicts view their addiction in terms of how the addiction have come about, what affective experiences they associate with the addiction, how it affects their relations to others, what makes them continue using pornography, what forms the addiction takes and how they live with their addiction today. Based on
I denna framställning behandlas fyra huvudsakliga frågeställningar beträffande den avtalsrättsliga lojalitetsplikten som försäkringsbolag har att beakta i företagsförsäkringsavtal. Beträffande den fösta frågeställningen, vad lojalitetsplikten i dessa avtal grundas på, kan följande konstateras. Plikten innebär att parterna med omsorg har att iaktta och tillvarata motpartens intressen i avtalsförhThis presentation deals with four main issues concerning the contractual duty of loyalty which insurance companies have to consider in business insurance agreements. Regarding the first question at issue - what the duty of loyalty in these agreements is based on - the following can be stated. The duty implies that the parties with care observe and exploit the counterparty’s interests in the cont
The thesis explores and analyses the behaviour of the European Union vis-à-vis the promotion and protection of human rights within the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA). It furthermore examines whether the theory of ‘normative power Europe’ is an appropriate theory in characterizing the external action of the EU at the UNGA. Drawing on seven interviews with EU and non-EU officials in both New
This thesis investigates the video projections that are presented on screens during live music performances through a case study focusing on the Touring the Angel concert by Depeche Mode. The concert took place in Milan and was released on DVD in 2006. Video projections during live concerts combine images that were produced before, such as video clips and still photography, with shots from the sta
This is an inquiry into how aspects of the present human reality came to being and thereby also an investigation into limitations and potentialities of this “present”. An important argument in this essay is that there exists a mutually affective relationship between culture and politics and that this relationship implies both possibilities and constraints. With this in mind I try to critically inv
The wind effects on high rise buildings were studied by finding and reading books, articles and studying equations. This was done to calculate the first natural frequency of high rise buildings, wind induced acceleration on high rise buildings and how the comfort criteria of acceleration performing on high rise buildings acts on human bodies living in the building. The buildings that were studied
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) was ranked as the sixth leading cause of death in 1990 and is projected to be the fourth leading cause of death worldwide by 2030 due to an increase in smoking rates and demographic changes in many countries (Mathers & Loncar 2006). To diagnose COPD there are several methods which are either imprecise or very expensive. The objective of this master

The fieldwork of this project was carried out in Ångermanland about ten km to the west of Örnsköldsvik. The mapping area is situated in the southern part of a 15×15 km rounded late Svecofennian multi-in
The vacuum cleaner industry has until recently been exempt of energy labeling in the EU which, unlike refridgerators, cookers and washing machines, has enabled it to turn to power as a main sales argument towards consumers. Both in energy usage and from a styling perspective, power has been and still is a strongly enforced value - making it one of the few domestic appliances that often looks like
“The important criterion for a graph is not simply how fast we can see a result; rather it is whether through the use of the graph we can see something that would have been harder to see otherwise or that could not have been seen at all.” William S. Cleveland When presenting graphs for people with visual impairments the solutions found on the market today often present pure data values only. Over
This thesis covers the use of ensemble forecasts, how they work and their benefits. It will also give a brief history of weather forecasting followed by an evaluation, where ensemble mean precipitation data from the ECMWF is compared to observation data for 21 different observation stations spread across Sweden. From the evaluation, the mean has difficulty representing amounts of precipitation cor
