Enligt den Europeiska konventionen för de mänskliga rättigheterna och de grundläggande friheterna (EKMR) har medlemsstaterna en skyldighet att garantera konventionens fri- och rättigheter till var och en som befinner sig inom deras jurisdiktion.

Since early diagnosis and treatment have shown to improve the long-term prognosis, compleme

This master thesis concerns the analysis and implementation of a tire slip controller for an off-the-shelf RC-model car. The Anti-lock brake system was implemented using two Atmel microcontrollers programmed in C, and sensors on all four wheels in additional to the standard electronics of the model car. The control strategy used was PI-methodology.' The car is able to accelerate and brake at a

The adverse impacts to environmental and human well-being derived from the past achievements in agricultural productivity and modernised food systems now call for building up sustainable farming systems. Increasingly specialised, standardised and concentrated agrifood systems have evoked both academic and practical interest in enhancing more place-based and integrated farming styles with shared be

Cooperation and competition are both essential elements of economic life. Here we explore how cooperativeness in a prisoner's dilemma correlates with competitiveness in a sample of 9–12 years old children in Colombia and Sweden. Using two different measures and four different tasks for competitiveness, we find no consistent relationship between cooperativeness and competitiveness. However, we find
