During the last decades, quite a number of interacting particle systems have been introduced and studied in the crossover area of mathematics and statistical physics. Some of these can be seen as simplistic models for opinion formation processes in groups of interacting people. In the model introduced by Deffuant et al. (2000), agents that are neighbors on a given network graph, randomly meet in p

Methods for identification and valuation of Ecosystem Services (ES) have been developed and applied worldwide in purpose to better consider nature in land planning decisions. In Sweden each municipality has a spatial planning monopoly and with that comes differences in prerequisites for sustainable land and water usage within the country. A growing number of actors are offering ES-analyses as a pu

The legacy of colonialism still wields a powerful grip: „through the property it occupies, the capital it is financed by, the materials it is constructed from, the underpaid migrant labour that continues to construct it, and the expertise that benefits from it through accumulations of social and financial capital“ (Herscher, 2021). Sadly, nothing of this incomplete list is within the past; we are

Responsibility to protect är en princip som för första gången formades år 2001 av International Commission on Intervention and State Sovereignty. Sedan dess har principen utvecklats stegvis genom olika handlingar och dokument vilka varit påverkade av mellanstatliga relationer och av de uppkomna händelser där mänskliga rättigheter stått på spel. Syftet med detta arbete har varit att försöka klargöThe responsibility to protect is a principle formulated in 2001 by the International Commission on Intervention and State Sovereignty. Since then, it has gradually been developed on the basis of different acts and documents that were influenced by inter-state relations and the agreements concerning human rights. This thesis attempts to explain what the responsibility to protect actually implies a

Ofrivilliga barnäktenskap är ett internationellt fenomen, som Sverige söker motarbeta. Som ett resultat härav erkänner Sverige inte utländska barnäktenskap som ingåtts med anknytning till Sverige. Däremot erkänns barnäktenskap som saknat svensk anknytning, såvida barnet var över 15 år när äktenskapet ingicks. Något som däremot aldrig ska erkännas är tvångsäktenskap. I denna uppsats är syftet att,

Uppsatsen handlar om sekretessmarkering som omfattar barn då sekretessmarkeringen är tillkommen med anledning av barnets andra förälder/vårdnadshavare. Uppgifter om hot och våld är i studien inte styrkta genom dom. Arbetet rör sig inom fälten familjerätt – offentlig rätt. Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka effekter och konsekvenser av en sekretessmarkering. Är gemensam vårdnad och umgänge möjliThe thesis is examining classified personal data within the national registration, ”Sekretessmarkering”, when it includes children and what consequences that might have in a legal process concerning custody. The thesis is within the fields of family law - public law. The purpose of the thesis is to examine the effects and consequences of such a classification. Is joint custody and access rights po

Prior to resettlement, refugee children are exposed to stressors that leave them vulnerable to the development of health and psychosocial problems. The nature of these problems has been identified in numerous studies involving refugee children and their parents, yet relatively few studies have been carried out with workers from governmental and voluntary organizations. The primary aim of this stud

The aim of this study was to examine how swedish newspapers writes about domestic violence from a gender and a categorization perspective. Violence between partners is an social problem that affects both men and women which crime reports shows. In this study we’ve done a content analysis on 27 newsarticles from five swedish newspapers. For this study we’ve asked these two research questions: How d

Advancements in the application of international refugee laws, European Union and national asylum legislations has increased the protection for refugees and asylum seekers from sexual minorities. With point of departure in the German administrative court's credibility assessment dealing with asylum/refugee appeal cases relating to sexual orientation, the aim of this study is to explore the epi

Intermittently incubating birds alternate between sessions of egg warming and recesses for foraging during the day, but stay on the nest continuously at night. Hence, energy costs of nocturnal incubation (which increase during longer and colder nights) cannot be replenished until the next day. Night conditions might therefore be expected to affect morning incubation behaviour the day after. We tes

An overlooked feature in astronomy education is the need for students to learn to extrapolate three-dimensionality and the challenges that this may involve. Discerning critical features in the night sky that are embedded in dimensionality is a long-term learning process. Several articles have addressed the usefulness of three-dimensional (3D) simulations in astronomy education, but they have neith

The cultural board of region Skåne decided fall of 2008 to reorganize the fundings of the cultural pedagogy. What the reorganization implicates is that the everyday practice of the pedagogues will not be paid for by the region, and instead the pedagogues will focus on capacity building and competence maintaining towards all of those who work pedagogically with children. They will work in five diff

Svensk lagstiftning angående barn och ungdom har under de senaste decennierna varit föremål för ett omfattande reformarbete (Singer 2019: 21). Barn och unga saknar emellertid ofta kunskap om sina rättigheter, samt om hur dessa kan utkrävas. Att samhället har en god kännedom om den lagstiftning som angår barn och ungdom är därför av avgörande betydelse för att barnets rättigheter ska tillgodoses oc
