This paper situates political assassinations by Western states in the global south in a wider discussion concerning decolonization and the progressivist narrative of international law. The paper looks at three generations of such assassinations, focusing on the international legal environments in which they took place and setting the parameters for both legitimation and opposition: the mid-twentie

Popular Abstract in Swedish Klimakteriet är normalt en fysiologisk period som alla kvinnor upplever mitt i livet. Klimakteriet är inte en sjukdom eller sjukdomstillstånd utan en övergång ifrån en fertil period till en icke reproduktiv period och utgör för många kvinnor en milstolpe i livet. Övergångsåldern och de processer som föregår en ny balans kan ibland vara turbulent. Syftet med dessa studieMenopause is not a disease, but may bring about a wide range of health complaints and increase some risks of illnesses. The aim of this study was to evaluate the general health status and influences of background factors on symptomatology among a cohort of Swedish women aged 50-64 years, with specific emphasis on the effects of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) by investigating a profile of HRT us

Partially Premixed Combustion (PPC) has shown its potential by combining high combustion controllability with emission characteristics that are close to those of an HCCI engine. In order to get PPC the ignition delay needs to be long enough for the fuel and air to mix prior to combustion. This can be achieved by injecting the fuel sufficiently early while running with high EGR.In order to find out
Fysik handlar om att försöka förstå hur världen omkring oss fungerar utifrån vissa grundläggande principer. Fasta tillståndets fysik fokuserar på de fasta material vi har omkring oss. Dessa material har olika strukturer beroende på vilka grundämnen de är uppbyggda av och hur de har bildats. Om en gas av atomer kyls ner långsamt tenderar atomerna att ordna sig i specifika regelbundna mönster, så kaIn materials with open 3$d$ and 4$f$ shells the valence electrons are relatively localized around the atoms which leads to large electron-electron correlations. These, so called strongly correlated materials, exhibit many intriguing properties such as high $T_c$ superconductivity, colossal magneto-resistance and heavy fermion behaviour. The strong electron-electron correlations make these material
Sixty-four patients with active distal ulcerative colitis participated in a multicentre, randomized, investigator-blind trial to compare the effect of budesonide enema, 2 mg/100 ml, with prednisolone disodium phosphate enema, 31.25 mg/100 ml. Budesonide is a new potent corticosteroid with a rapid first-pass elimination. The patients were treated for 4 weeks, and the efficacy of the drugs were eval
Fiber reinforcement polymer (FRP) is a hard-to-treat material used in different areas of up-to-date machine building. It has excellent mechanical properties making the material unique in different engineering solutions such as aircraft, aerospace and boatbuilding. The optimization of holemaking operations in FRP is the main aim of the current investigation. This paper presents an approach of defin
Popular Abstract in Swedish Ta ett djupt andetag och tänk på vad du nu har i lungorna! Jo, det är luft, förstås, syre kväve och sådant. Men det är också något annat. I varje kubikcentimeter du andas in finns tusentals partiklar, alla för små för att kunna ses med blotta ögat. Om dessa partiklar handlar denna avhandling. Vi kallar luftburna partiklar för aerosoler, ett begrepp som innefattar allt Airborne particles are everywhere around us, and have always been. Particles generated by human activities has increased drastically since industrialization, and several epidemiological studies have shown that inhaled particles can cause adverse health effects. The concern about health effects have during the last decade shifted towards fine and ultrafine particles, not least due to the emerging f
This paper presents methodologies that could be used for characterizing subscriber telephone loops that carry DSL services (ADSL and ADSL2+), by determination and analysis of frequency response, time domain reflectometry, and impulse response of the line. From this analysis, the subscriber loop length, identification and location of impairments such as bridged taps, gauge changes, and open ended t
Byggnaders energieffektivitet är ett fokusområde i arbetet med att minska klimatförändringarna, då byggnader står för cirka 40 procent av den totala energianvändningen i Europeiska unionen. En lösning som tillämpas för att minska byggnaders energibehov är att ständigt införa strängare byggregler. Följaktligen ökar betydelsen av precisa och effektiva simuleringar för att kunna beräkna byggnaders frAs most countries worldwide continue to mitigate climate change, one area of focus is a building's energy efficiency. Buildings currently account for approximately 40 per cent of the total energy use in the European Union. One solution for reducing the energy demand from buildings is by continually implementing more stringent building regulations. Consequently, the importance of accurate and effic

This bachelor's thesis examines how narratives about queer and/or norm-critical performance strategies can counteract the reproduction of stage stereotypes and preconceived normative role interpretations on the independent theatre stages in Sweden. Based on three dyadic interviews with three different independent theatre groups in Sweden, I have analyzed narratives about queer and norm-critica
Despite a decade-long research history, there are still ongoing debates on the analysis of Object Shift in Mainland Scandinavian, and all syntactic and information-structural accounts have run into empirical and/or conceptual problems. We argue that this debate can be resolved by recognizing that OS is, in fact, a prosodic phenomenon. Our analysis builds on the observatioDespite a decade-long rese
In this paper, a revisit to the topic of electromagnetic scattering by a randomly oriented obstacle is made. The focus is on a general polarization state of the incident field. Specifically, the left and right circular polarizations are treated. We derive the analytic expressions of the scattering observables, such as the orientational averages of the extinction, scattering and absorption cross se
