During the last decade, a new trend has emerged among several Latin American countries in changing their constitutions. The reforms have by many been welcomed, especially among the indigenous peoples who have, since the colonization of the continent, been marginalised compared to the rest of the population. Bolivia is the country who most recently changed its constitution, now with a big focus on

Kenya is a country with great differences between rich and poor. While almost half of the population in Kenya is living below the poverty line, the country in the early 1990’s began to democratize, with support by the people. This thesis’ aim is to examine income inequality and democratic legitimacy in Kenya. I will carry out a case study in which two theories about consequences of income inequali

Syftet är att analysera och undersöka verkan hos tre faktorer inom demokratiseringsprocessen i Vitryssland. Uppsatsens tre förklaringsfaktorer är stat, civilsamhälle och president. Analysen av dessa förklaringsfaktorer behandlar tiden från självständighet 1991 fram till idag. Materialet i uppsatsen består av böcker främst hämtade från kursen democratization vid lunds universitet och vetenskapliga

This paper compares the explanation for social change that are offered by three theories of rape, all of which apply a socio-cultural and a gender perspective.

Förevarande framställning syftar till att analysera skyddet för efterlevande make i relation till arvsrätten för den avlidnes släktarvingar, och i synnerhet dennes bröstarvingar. Utgångspunkten är Anna Christensens teori om de normativa grundmönstren. Arbetet behandlar rättsutvecklingen under 1900-talet och såväl det arvsrättsliga som det äktenskapsrättsliga regelverket diskuteras. Den svenska äThe aim of this thesis is to analyse the protection of the surviving spouse in relation to the right of the deceased's natural heirs’, in particular his or her legal heirs’. The starting point is Anna Christensen's Theory of Normative Patterns. The thesis deals with the legal development during the 20th century and both the Swedish law of succession and the marital legal framework are disc

This thesis explores the concept of youth organizing in the context of two interrelated youth-led organizations addressing climate change in Kenya. A growing body of interdisciplinary research points to the ways in which engagement in youth organizing initiatives can contribute to the individual development of the youth involved. By engaging youth in political mobilizing efforts against forms of s

Den här studien är en kvalitativ innehållsanalys av fallet Liberias Nationella Handlingsplan för Säkerhetsrådets resolution 1325. Resolution 1325 antogs av FNs Säkerhetsråd år 2000 och syftar till att inkludera kvinnor i fredsprocesser, konfliktlösning och konfliktförebyggande åtgärder. Generelsekreterare Ban Ki Moon ansåg inte att resolutionen gett tillräckligt genomslag och därför uppmanade han

Every day people get killed, starve and suffer in the name of security. There can be no politics without the mention of security. In a world where we speed into a higher standard of living, a more advanced technology and more effective weapons, there is a need to develop the concept of security and let go of the state-centered definition and instead concentrate on human security. A definition of t

The aim of this study was to examine how commuting social workers, who work in child protective services (CPS), experienced their work in a smaller urban environment. Working in CPS means that the social workers sometimes have to take drastic measurements to ensure the protection of children. This may not always go well with the rest of the family and sometimes even lead to hostility in the relati

Föreställ er att vi i Sverige skulle legalisera det egna bruket av narkotika. Det skulle bli lagligt att snorta kokain, att skjuta upp heroin eller att röka marijuana. Vad skulle detta innebära för svensk Polis, sett ur ett tvångsmedelsperspektiv? Toleransen i Sverige gentemot droger är väldigt låg. Narkotikafrågan har under en längre tid varit, och är fortfarande, högprioriterad hos regering ochImagine that we, in Sweden, would legalise the personal use of drugs. It would be legal to snort cocaine, to shoot up some heroine or smoke marijuana. What would this mean for the Swedish law enforcement, from a "means of enforcement" point of view? The Swedish tolerance when it comes to drugs is very low. It has for a long time been, and still remains, a top priority for the governmen

One-stop-shop (OSS) business models offering integrated renovation services, making renovation more affordable and feasible, are a requirement of European Union policies aiming in energy efficiency in buildings. The present paper offers an ex-ante (pre-implementation) and ex-post (post-implementation) evaluation of 37 OSS business models currently operating in the EU renovation market. The evaluat

The ALICE Collaboration reports a search for jet quenching effects in high-multiplicity (HM) proton-proton collisions at s = 13 TeV, using the semi-inclusive azimuthal-difference distribution ∆φ of charged-particle jets recoiling from a high transverse momentum (high-pT,trig) trigger hadron. Jet quenching may broaden the ∆φ distribution measured in HM events compared to that in minimum bias (MB) e

Background Mothers attending prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT) of HIV clinics seem to lack knowledge on many aspects of PMTCT, among which is breastfeeding. Breastfeeding recommendations in PMTCT have changed several times over the years leaving some confused and doubtful of what is currently recommended. One method shown to help improve their knowledge and acceptance of PMTCT rec

UNLABELLED: The aim of this systemic review and meta-analysis was to examine the differences in caesarean section rates across European regions and at a country level by utilizing the Robson classification system. The study has compared caesarean rates across European regions using the Robson classification to identify the drivers of caesarean section use. This review shows significant variations

The interaction between a low angle grain boundary in front of a crack tip and the emerging plasticity from the tip of a microstructurally short edge crack subjected to fatigue loading has been studied. The modeling rests solely on discrete dislocations, were the geometry is described by dislocation dipole elements in a boundary element approach and the plasticity, restricted to one slip plane, to

To meet climate targets, a global shift away from fossil fuels is essential. For sectors where electrification is impractical, it is crucial to find sustainable energy carriers. Renewable methanol is widely considered a promising fuel for powering heavy-duty applications like shipping, freight transport, agriculture, and industrial machines due to its various sustainable production methods. While

GTP hydrolysis is a biologically crucial reaction, being involved in regulating almost all cellular processes. As a result, the enzymes that catalyze this reaction are among the most important drug targets. Despite their vital importance and decades of substantial research effort, the fundamental mechanism of enzyme-catalyzed GTP hydrolysis by GTPases remains highly controversial. Specifically, ho
