In light of the pronounced regression in total fertility rates in Spain over the last 40 years and the permanence well below replacement fertility levels up until the present day, this thesis aims to add evidence to the on-going debate about the determinants of reproductive behaviour in this specific country. Given the presence of a significant heterogeneity in the pace of changes in and levels of

This study identifies a negative impact of mining on access to the public water system in Peru using district data from 2011 and a similar methodology as Loayza, Mier y Teran and Rigolini (2013). One potential explanation for this result can be found by assessing the effects of mining on the investment prioritization of local governments; responsible for providing basic services in Peru. A quantit

Barnets bästa är den bärande principen i dagens barnrätt och härstammar ur såväl FN:s barnkonvention och föräldrabalken.1 Översiktligt går det att konstatera att de grundläggande tankarna om principen är att stärka respekten för barnets människovärde och integritet, samt som en etisk vägledning för alla enskilda bedömningar i mål som rör barnet. Det innebär att principen inte enbart ska tillämpas It is stated in both the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child and the Children and Parents code, that all actions concerning children shall have the best interests of the child as the primary consideration.

För att genomföra undersökningen har vi använt de politiska partierna i Norge som referenspunkt. Denna studie använder sig av ”theory of Europeanization” och ”Greens theory of Salience Issues” som teoretisk grund för att försöka förklara den förändri

På bangården i Nässjö har det mellan 1918 och 2005 legat en impregneringsanläggning för järnvägsslipers. Som impregneringsmedel användes främst kreosotolja vilket innehåller polycykliska aromatiska kolväten (PAH) som kan vara skadliga för människa och natur. Marken på bangården är nu kraftigt förorenad och ska därför saneras. Tyréns AB har på uppdrag av Trafikverket tagit fram ett förfrågningsundA facility for preservation of wooden rail road sleepers has been operating at the railway yard in Nässjö between 1918 and 2005. The main preservative used at the site was creosote which contains polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) that can be harmful to humans and the environment. The soil at the railway yard is due to these activities heavily polluted and the Swedish Transport Administration

This study investigates whether Swedish students, at two different levels of study, are able to distinguish between ‘it’ and ‘there’ when using the two as dummy subjects. This particular feature was chosen since previous research (e.g. Estling- Vannestål, 2007; Köhlmyr, 2003; Davidsen-Nilsen & Harder, 2001 ) has shown that Swedish students tend to overuse ‘it’ in such constructions: something

There has been a decrease in sea ice extent and volume in the polar regions during the past decades; this study focuses on the Northern Hemisphere. The variability of the sea ice extent along the east coast of Greenland is examined and the area is divided into three regional zones to be able to study variations in the correlation strength along the coast. The ice extent along the east coast is ach

Syftet med studien är att undersöka vilken roll takt och rytm spelar i en idrottslärares undervisning. För att förtydliga uppsatsens syfte och beskriva idrottslärarnas uppfattning behandlas följande forskningsfrågor: Hur ser idrottslärare på takt och rytm i sin undervisning? Vad uppfattar idrottslärare att det är de ska undervisa i när det gäller takt och rytm enligt kursplanen? Hur ser idrottslärMeasure and rhythm: What part do concepts of measure and rhythm play in a physical education teachers way of teaching?

This thesis deals with religion in the secular and democratic state. To demonstrate the complex tension between the freedom of religion and secular principles, Jürgen Haber-mas's theories about the post-secular society has been used to implement a critical dis-course analysis which examines five debating articles that specifically focuses on the question about the call to prayer for Muslims in

Both Northern Ireland (NI) and the Republic of Ireland (ROI) have set ambitious targets for increasing the amount of renewable heat being generated. By 2020, NI is aiming for a 10% target, in the Republic a 12% target has been stipulated (DARD, 2010) (SEAI, 2007). In both countries the majority of the private forest estate has been created through establishment grants that began in the 1980s, the

En person som vill förbättra sin livssituation genom att få en påstådd moralisk rättighet att uppnå status som rätt kan driva frågan till Europadomstolen för de mänskliga rättigheterna. I en sådan situation kan klaganden försöka övertyga Europadomstolen att doktrinen om Europakonvention som ett levande instrument ska motivera en dynamisk tolkning av konventionen så att rättighetsskyddet utsträcks.A person who wants to improve his or her situation by having an alleged right rise to the power of human rights law can bring a state before the European Court of Human Rights. The applicant can in that situation argue that the Court should engage in evolutive interpretation of the ECHR to keep it a living instrument in line with present-day conditions. One argument for evolutive interpretation is

The unbalanced supply and demand will raise the distribution and transportation problems. Lateral transhipment (called stock redistribution) between two Customer Centres (CC) has been implementing to reduce unhealthy inventories. The two significant issues are the inefficient process and unnecessary cost of reactive lateral transhipment. The searching and communication processes can take longer th

This study aims to create a greater understanding of factors for why naval surveillance is not carried out to a greater extent with modern efficient flying reconnaissance sensors to freeing up time for more qualified naval activities. Furthermore, it seeks an increased understanding and whethe

The presence of fog, or condensation, poses significant challenges in various fields, including surveillance cameras. The main issue is that fog obstructs the camera's view, essentially rendering the camera ineffective for surveillance. Currently, preventative measures such as heating the camera are a remedy at the cost of significantly increased power consumption. This master’s thesis is aime

China's "3060" target for carbon neutrality needs public action. This study explores how this goal influences urban Chinese youth's intention to take climate action. Based on surveys and interviews, this study found a positive link between them. While perceived policy benefits motivate youth to act, barriers include concerns about green product accessibility and lack of infrastru

Den ökade globaliseringen och världshandeln har medfört att skatteavtal blivit viktigare. Då skatteavtalen har fått en mer central roll har även avtalsmissbruk blivit vanligare. Skatteavtal är folkrättsliga avtal som ingås mellan två eller fler stater och syftar till att förena staternas skattesystem, underlätta beskattningen för personer och myndigheter samt undvika internationell dubbelbeskattniThe increase in globalization and world trade has meant that tax treaties have become more important. As tax treaties have taken on a more central role, treaty abuse has also become more common. Tax treaties are agreements under international treaty law concluded between two or more states with the aim of unifying their tax systems, facilitating the taxation of persons and authorities, and avoidin
