A system commonly used in heavy process industries, with a focus on both design and operational improvements. The study eva
This academic paper explores the current state of regulation in outer space, highlighting the existence of a legal vacuum and the absence of clear norms governing space activities. Existing treaties are often vague and inconclusive in their interpretations. Meanwhile, a new space race is emerging, with commercial entities taking the lead in the West, while global players such as China and Russia sDet går att konstatera att regleringen av rymden befinner sig i en form av rättsligt vakuum. Det saknas idag en tydliga normer för användningen av rymden. Tolkningar av de få traktat som ratificerats av majoritetens av världens länder är vaga och ofta intetsägande.

Lag (1990:52) med särskilda bestämmelser om vård av unga (LVU) utgör en skyddslagstiftning som förpliktigar samhället att ingripa när unga far, eller riskerar att fara, illa. I fall där barn och unga utsätts för hedersrelaterat våld eller förtryck i hemmet kan flera av rekvisiten i 2 § LVU bli tillämpliga. Rättsläget är dock ännu oklart beträffande huruvida den unges eget beteende kan utgöra grundAccording to The Care of Young Persons (Special Provisions) Act (LVU) the Swedish state has a responsibility to intervene in the care of a young person when circumstances show deficiencies in the care, or some other circumstance at home, which involve a manifest risk that the young person's health or development might be harmed (2 § LVU).

In relation to this, the parties of a con
The paper examines the relationship between non-formal education activities and youth employability in the Republic of Armenia. A case study has been conducted in order to identify soft skills competitive in the labour market and see to what extent non-formal education increases youth productivity thus helping them get engaged in the job market. Another thing that the paper aims to study is the ro
Even though flying is the most unsustainable mode of transport due to its high contribution to global climate change (global warming), it is widely used and is predicted to increase considerably in the future. This goes against the global goal to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emission in order to reach the two-degree target set in the Paris Agreement. I am addressing this problem by looking into the
Based on a combined three locus analysis two new genera, Charcotiana and Amundsenia, are proposed in the lichen family Teloschistaceae, subfamily Xanthorioideae. Charcotiana includes the new species C. antarctica, which is known only from continental Antarctica. The bipolar genus Amundsenia includes the new species A. austrocontinentalis, which is also known only from continental Antarctica, and t
Collection and recycling systems for small waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) in Europe has been developed based on the 2003 EU Directive on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE Directive), which was transposed into the national laws of EU Member States.

Nedmonteringen av rättsstatsprincipen i vissa av EU:s medlemsstater, vilket skett genom omfattande domstolsreformer som inkräktar på rättsväsendets oavhängighet, har resulterat i en ’Rule of Law’-kris som påverkar det unionsrättsliga samarbetet inom flera dimensioner. Respekt för rättsstaten är ett grundläggande krav vid anslutning till unionen enligt artikel 49 FEU och ett fundamentalt värde för The rule of law backsliding in some EU Member States through deficiencies in the judiciary has led to a crisis impacting several dimensions of the European cooperation.

Det råder subjektivitet gällande vem som anses vara terrorist i konflikter, främst efter terroristattackerna i USA den 9 september 2001, där olika diskurser om försvar och terrorism existerar för att rättfärdiga våld och krig. Genom att anknyta en aktör till terrorism är det möjligt att beskriva sitt eget våld mot aktören som handlingar i självförsvar. Denna studies syfte är att synliggöra hur socThere is subjectivity in the matter of who is regarded a terrorist in conflicts, especially after the 9/11 2001 terrorist attacks in USA, by the use of discourses of defense and terrorism in order to legitimate violence and war. By linking a party to terrorism, it is possible to describe one’s violence against this party as acts in self-defense. This study’s purpose is to illustrate how social con
