Denna uppsats undersöker kulturellt folkmord i internationell rätt och analyserar definitionen av folkmord i folkmordskonventionen. Kulturellt folkmord har ansetts vara något annat än folkmord även om båda kan bestå av att med våld överföra barn mellan grupper. Därför fokuserar uppsatsen på klassificeringen av förflyttningar av urfolksbarn som kulturellt folkmord och tillämpligheten av artikel 2(eThis essay seeks to examine cultural genocide in international law and analyze the definition of genocide in the Genocide Convention. Cultural genocide has been considered something other than genocide although both can consist of forcible transfer of children. The essay will therefore focus on the classification of forcible transfer of Indigenous children as cultural genocide and the applicabilit

In 2014, the sharia-ruled Aceh province of Indonesia legislated bylaw qanun jinayat no.6/2014, which criminalised same-sex acts, and imposed a caning punishment consisting of a hundred lashes if a person was found guilty. The law impelled a hunt and persecution of LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender) individuals, thereby worsening discrimination against the already hampered LGBT community. T

Old-growth forests have profound roles in the provision of biodiversity and multiple ecosystem services. These forests and their protection are threatened by structures within the Swedish Forestry Model and Sweden’s attitude towards the European Union’s environmental and climate policies relating to forest management. A literature review and semi-structured interviews employed through a mixed-meth

The main component of the sex pheromone precursor in females of Macrodiprion nemoralis was identified as a threo-3,7,9-trimethyl-2-tridecanol isomer, approximately 800 pg per female, by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Comparison of mass spectrometric ion chromatograms showed that the natural compound in the female extract has the same retention time and mass spectrum as one of the two synthe

This thesis analyzes blood diamonds and the human rights issues surrounding them. The problems they pose and the promises and limitations of the Kimberly Process are covered along with the development and future impact of man-made diamonds on the demand side of the blood diamond problem. There are two main sections--the first covers blood diamonds and the second man-made diamonds. The introduction

The objective of this thesis is the integration of the TRIZ-method (Altshuller) and the AAK-method (Roth)into the industrial design engineering process model and the validation of the integration by the industril design engineering project "Conceptual design of an armchair for elderly people".

The article reflects on the mechanisms aimed to control the fulfillment of the EU sustainability criteria for biofuels, as they were promoted in Directive 2009/28/EC. The article contains the final results of the research initiated in the work Pavlovskaia, E. (2013) “Controlling the Fulfillment of the EU Sustainability Criteria for Transport Biofuels”, which was published in RELP 4/2013. The artic

Saturated pool boiling heat transfer of water is investigated experimentally on copper surfaces with nanoparticle coatings at atmospheric pressure. The coatings are generated by an electrophoretic deposition method (EPD). Three modified surfaces are prepared with gold nanoparticles of 0.20 mg, 0.25 mg and 0.30 mg, respectively. During the d

Men with spine fractures have reduced vertebral body (VB) volume and volumetric bone mineral density (vBMD). Men with hip fractures have reduced femoral neck (FN) volume and vBMD, site-specific deficits that may have their origins in growth. To describe the tempo of growth in regional bone size, bone mineral content (BMC), and vBMD, we measured bone length, periosteal and endocortical diameters, B

Obese individuals are more likely to develop heart failure. Yet, once heart failure is established, the impact of overweight and obesity on prognosis and survival is unclear. The purpose of this joint scientific statement of the European Association for the Study of Obesity and the European Society of Hypertension is to provide an overview on the current scientific literature on obesity and heart

We study the structure-function relationship of alumina supported platinum during the formation of ammonia from nitrogen oxide and dihydrogen by employing in situ X-ray absorption and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Particular focus has been directed towards the effect of oxygen on the reaction as a model system for emerging technologies for passive selective catalytic reduction of nitrog

The incidence of cutaneous malignant melanoma has increased during the last decades in Sweden as in many other countries. Besides of ultraviolet radiation and constitutional factors such as light-sensitive skin and poor ability to tan few risk factors are established. Some studies indicate that electromagnetic fields might be of concern. In this case-control study we assessed use of mobile and cor

Based on an analysis of recordings of services during the first year (2008–2009) of the Nokia Missio Church, Finland, I analyse the verbal persuasion techniques that are used to affect the audience to change their beliefs and behaviour. In these meetings, the rhetorical situation warrants special attention, which is achieved with the help of Lloyd Bitzer’s theory. The analysis shows how persuasive

Commonly, heat transfer performance of a nanofluid is enhanced by increasing the mass fraction of nanoparticles due to an improvement of the thermo-physical properties. However, increasing the number of nanoparticles in the base fluid will result in an increase of the nanofluid viscosity. This research aims to investigate natural convective heat transfer for an electric heater filled with various

ObjectiveTo explore critical care nurses’ lived experiences of transferring intensive care patients between hospitals.MethodsA phenomenological hermeneutic approach using data generated through individual interviews with 11 critical care registered nurses.SettingTwo general intensive care units in Sweden.FindingsFive themes were identified: it depends on me; your care makes a difference; being exp

Of the more than 2,000 Scandinavian newspapers published in North America prior to World War I, few have been preserved for posterity. One long-forgotten paper recently resurfaced: the Norwegian language newspaper Vikingen of Edmonton, Alberta, published by the Scandinavian Literary and Youth Societies on the eve of World War I. A survey of Vikingen’s editorials provides an insight into an active

OBJECTIVES: /st> To investigate the association between meniscal pathology and incident or enlarging bone marrow lesions (BML) in knee osteoarthritis. METHODS: /st> The authors studied subjects from the Multicenter Osteoarthritis Study aged 50-79 years either with knee osteoarthritis or at high risk of the disease. Baseline and 30-months magnetic resonance images of knees (n=1344) were scored for
