During the Salvadoran armed conflict (1980-1992) hundreds of children became separated from their families. The majority of the children were abducted by the armed forces of the government and still to this day the fate and whereabouts of most children are unknown. These children are the ''disappeared children of El Salvador''. In 1994, families of the disappeared children formed a
The purpose of this case study was to investigate residents’ perception regarding household preparedness in areas prone to sudden natural hazards. The study was conducted in Namacu, Koro Island, Fiji. The main method for data collection was through semi-structured interviews and observations. Many of the factors affecting perception regarding the residents’ household preparedness were connected to
The modern human being is exposed to different kinds of light during a normal day, both natural light and adjusted lighting. The idea that light affects us is uncontested, and so affecting the light in turn becomes a question of well-being. It is often thought that abundant and strong lighting is good lighting, but this is far from always accurate. Moreover, the light from a regular lightbulb is i
The danger that mass surveillance poses to concepts of ‘freedom’ and ‘democracy’ have long been a topic of fiction as well as of hard academic study. George Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty-Four is a work that some might disregard as mere post-apocalyptic whimsy but its arguably accurate recreation and prediction of the methods utilized by the totalitarian government to maintain absolute control over a po
Övervägande del av förundersökningar av brott mot barn läggs ner. När förövaren dessutom är en närstående eller förälder försvåras utredningen avsevärt då det sällan finns vittnen och barnet kanske inte inser att de blivit utsatta för ett brott. Dessa ärenden utreds ibland inte heller av socialnämnden trots att mängden orosanmälan ökar. Barnet har ett speciellt behov av skydd och samhället har ettMost investigations of crimes against children are terminated before being brought to court. The investigations become significantly more complicated when the perpetrator happens to be a family member or parent. Some of the difficulties occur because the child may not realize that they have been victimized and there are rarely witnesses to the acts. Children have a special need for protection and
ABSTRACT This bachelor thesis investigates whether there are any correlation between the political orientation of the incumbent party of a country and the performance of the stock market, i.e. will the stock market behave bullish or bearish depending on whether the political party is located on the right-wing or the left-wing? The study is performed with multiple linear regressions of 13 OECD coun
This thesis explores the right to access employment for persons with disabilities under the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. It seeks to ascertain what entitlements and for whom this right entails. Given the central conceptual role disability and equality play in the Convention, this thesis explores the prevailing models of understanding of both disability and equality. Af
Colour terms is a highly interesting field when investigating linguistic universals and how language vary cross-linguistically. Colour semantics, the investigation of the meaning of colour, consists in largely of two opposing sides: the universalists, proposing that colour terms are universal (Berlin & Kay 1969) and the relativists claiming a variation in meaning cross-linguistically (Wierzbic
Nanocellulose is being studied to a great extent around the world as it has great potential and many possible applications, for example, as an additive in greener polymers in a world where the need for replacements for fossil fuel based polymers increase. Different sources of cellulose are being considered for the production of nanocellulose as this can add value to what otherwise often is a by-pr
The growth of building energy simulation tools has provided users with a variety of alternatives to model and simulate buildings. The algorithms used in each building energy simulation software are different and range from simple to highly complex. TEKNOsim is a simple design tool based on analytical and empirical algorithms. It is used for calculating building thermal loads and simulating indoor
The objective of this paper is to examine how civil society members understand and define their role in the swedish democratic society. The study is attempting to describe how the civic engagement is inferred, more specifically in relation to the debate on LSS law and personal assistance policy. Its recent retrenchment in funds due to political constraint resulted in a wide-ranging debate concerni
Tillämpning av skatteflyktslagen leder till att en annars civilrättsligt giltig rättshandling lämnas utan hänsyn vid fastställande av underlaget för beskattning. Lagen är alltså relativt ingripande mot den enskilda skattskyldiga som företagit rättshandlingen eller rättshandlingarna. Tillämpningen är beroende av rekvisiten i 2 § skatteflyktslagen, den så kallade, generalklausulen. Den innehåller fyThe legal consequence of the application of the tax evasion law is that an otherwise civil legal transaction is left without consideration when assessing the base for taxation. The law is an infringement upon the taxpayer that has performed the legal transactions. The application of the tax evasion law is dependent on the prerequisites from the 2 § of the law, the so called general clause. The cla
