Julian the Apostate’s short rule has left in the historical records a clearly divisive picture. This thesis starts with that divisive nature of the reign of Rome’s last pagan emperor and aims to analyse some of the Apostate’s coinage iconography. Can the symbols used on the coins minted during his reign say something about his allegedly revolutionary rule? By choosing to focus on a set of ten symb
Automated information flow is an important way of optimizing the time used for analyzing processes. Other added benefits are that in a well-made automated system, the probability of human error diminishes because less liability is put on the person to manually transport and utilize the data. This notion of automation can be applied to the field of chromatography. This thesis investigates the poss
The area of Business and Human Rights, applies to all enterprises, including corporate law firms, which have not been examined yet, as thoroughly as others. On the other hand, the profession of law is regulated by codes of conduct that limit the actions of lawyers when they are preforming their mandate.

Denna uppsats ställer frågan hur israelisk film tar upp och bearbetar rättfärdigandeproblematik från det första Libanonkriget 1982. Det centrala för analysen är att undersöka hur rättfärdigandediskursen tar sig uttryck i filmens värld, något som ofta förbises i analyser av detta slag trots filmers ibland enorma genomslag. Filmerna Beaufort (2007), Waltz with Bashir (2008) och Lebanon (2009) analys
Denna uppsats är en kvalitativ fallstudie av den fredsbyggande processen i Namibia. Syftet är att studera möjliga faktorer för processens framgång samt hur de hörhåller sig till Roland Paris teori om Institutionalization Before Liberalization, som är vår teoretiska utgångspunkt. Vår hypotes är att Namibia utgör ett undantagsfall från teorin då operationen, internationellt sett, anses vara framgång
“Men are not the deliberate oppressors of women, but can also be disempowered by current social arrangements”. The role of the Secretary-General of the United Nations is among the most powerful in the world. Since 1945 and the establishment of the UN that position has never been held by a woman.

Organisationskultur har under senare decennierna blivit ett välkänt och välstuderat fenomen. IKEA är ett företag som har expanderat i snabb takt och företaget bör räknas som synnerligen framgångsrikt. Att som en multinationell koncern välja att behålla kärnverksamheten i en liten by som Älmhult är tämligen unikt, och gör studieobjektet än mer intressant. Av intresse i denna studie är framför allt

Development has become a matter of security, and therefore development has a new strong role in the liberal peace-building, though not all theoretics agree to this hegemony. Social capital has become a global term when discussing development, and though the concept derived from a Western civil society, social capital cannot be ignored as a deeply rooted concept describing social structures of trus

In Burma, which is ruled by a military junta since 1962, the violation of fundamental human rights is prominent. In 2008 Cyclone Nargis struck Burma which destroyed several towns and villages and led to the death of hundreds of thousands Burmese people. The regime failed to take action to help its ow

The sex tourism in Thailand is a widespread phenomenon where men around the globe have the privileged of visiting and taking part of an industry set up for an inter-national market. The purpose of this paper was to clarify how the sex tourism in Thailand can be seen from a postcolonial perspective, where countries with an unequal power configuration can result in an exploitation of what we call th
After 9/11 then U.S president George W Bush declared ”the war against terrorism”. He stated that al-Qaeda and Taliban prisoners were “unlawful combatants”. The significance of this term placed all persons considered as “unlawful combatants” outside the scope and protection of International Humanitarian Law (IHL), which is the law that applies in armed conflicts. This thesis is a comparison between
