This paper examines the effects of short-term economic stress, captured by general price volatility and a negative wealth shock on short-run fertility behavior in the rural pre-transitional society of the Cape Colony. First, we link complete birth histories of settler women from the South African Families database to consumer price index data to examine the effect of price volatility on conception
In 1973 Horst W.J Rittler and Melvin M called traffic planning a “wicked problem”, meaning that the area of expertise is highly technical but also touches upon socio-spatial questions. A wicked problem can never meet everyone's expectations and needs, due to a lot of different interests and values. In order to solve this problem the Swedish government suggested a new method called method of st
I Sverige finns en väletablerad marknad för handel med barn för sexuella ändamål. Det är dock väldigt få anmälda brott som leder till åtal eller fällande dom. Detta visar på att barn som faller offer för människohandel inte innehar fullt rättsskydd. Den 1 januari 2020 trädde barnkonventionen i kraft som lag i Sverige, implementeringens primära syfte var att stärka barns rättsliga ställning. Syftet
Välgörenhetsorganisationer använder sig ofta av marknadsföringsstrategier som spelar på mottagarens känslor för att samla in donationer. Fungerar denna strategi, och skiljer det sig åt när det handlar om engångsdonationer eller månadsdonationer? Det antogs vara en skillnad mellan rationella och intuitiva människor där de intuitiva skulle uppleva en psykologisk avtrubbning när de utsattes för en ko
This thesis assesses the impact of innovation on employment, using a selection of International Patent Classifications (IPC) as proxies for technological development. It uses a 15-country, 8-sector and 15-year dynamic panel dataset, specifying a system Generalized Methods of Moments (GMM) econometric model to test this relationship. It specifically evaluates whether advances in robotics – measured
Integration through physical activity is getting bigger in national integration strategies. Healthy bodies and clear minds can improve many things in life, this is also true for refugees. Many of the integration projects focusing on physical activity have male participants but fail to get women interested in participating in physical activities. This study investigates why the women are not partic
As a response to a lack of formal solid waste management (SWM), CBOs and youth groups have become the main providers of waste collection in informal settlements in Nairobi, Kenya. This thesis is a qualitative case study of community-based waste management (CBWM) in the informal settlements of Mathare, Nairobi. The material from interviews and participant observation is analysed through a lens of S
Principen jura novit curia ålägger domstolen en skyldighet att utreda och tillämpa gällande rätt. Den anses traditionellt även medföra att domstolen inte är bunden av parternas åsikter i rättstillämpningsfrågan, eller har en skyldighet att uppmärksamma parterna ifall den överväger tillämpa rättsregler de inte hänfört sig till. Inkorporeringen av Europakonventionen (EKMR) i svensk rätt har medfört the principle jura novit curia imposes a duty onto the court to investigate and apply the relevant legal rules. Traditionally the principle is also considered to entail that the court is untethered by the parties opinions or instructions concerning the application of the law. Neither is the court compelled to inform the parties whenever it considers applying a legal rule the parties have not refer
It can be seen as if though Zumba has taken it upon themselves to mend the growing gap between humans of different ethnicities and cultural backgrounds in the world. Zumba and the Other investigates Zumba from a postcolonial perspective and questions the methods which Zumba use to reach their supposed ambition of uniting the world in one dance class. Zumba and the Other asks the question of who Z
Servitut är något som skapas för att komplettera en fastighet och där finns två sorter: avtalsservitut och officialservitut. Servitut regleras i 14 kapitlet i Jordabalken, där de ska uppfylla rekvisiten: ändamålsenlig markanvändning, stadigvarande betydelse och i visst hänseende nyttja. Officialservitut skapas av lantmäteriet och regleras i 7 kapitlet Fastighetsbildningslagen och ska, förutom kravEasements are created as a complement to real estates. There are two kinds of easements: agreement-easements, which property owners can agree on, and utility easements, which are issued by The Swedish Mapping, Cadastral and Land Registration Authority (Lantmäteriet). Utility easements regarding waste disposal is something that is becoming more and more usual where 87 % are issued in the 21st centu
The purpose of this thesis is to examine how increased female political participation has affected domestic gender-based violence in Rwanda. In 1994, Rwanda saw an estimated 800,000 people being killed in a genocide. The country’s economic, political and social structure was left in shambles. Post-genocide, women made up 70% of the population and were forced to take on new roles in the rebuilding
Förmögenhetsforum ger käranden möjlighet att föra talan där svaranden har egendom. Denna typ av forum ger i teorin ett lands domstolar mycket bred jurisdiktion att pröva internationella tvister, även om tvisten inte har någon särskild anknytning till landet. Uppsatsen jämför förmögenhetsforum i Sverige och Danmark genom att analysera ländernas lagstiftning och praxis på området. Syftet med jämförAsset forum gives the plaintiff the ability to pursue litigation where the defendant has assets. In theory, this type of forum gives a country’s courts a very wide jurisdiction in international disputes, even if the case has no con-nection to the country. The essay compares asset forum in Sweden and Denmark by analysing legislation and case law in both countries. The purpose of the comparison is
In this thesis the problem of estimating terrain elevation using two-dimensional radar data from the multirole ghter aircraft JAS 39 Gripen is considered. Radar data contains information about range from the aircraft to the reflecting terrain, as well as horizontal angle. In general, radar data has high resolution in range and low resolution in angle, giving rise to interesting problems. A new rad
This thesis is essentially a project in theory- and method-building. It engages the strengths of Vaughan-Williams’ alternative border imaginary under the name of the generalised biopolitical border (GBB) in accounting for the complexity of border phenomena in contemporary global politics. However, it identifies two major shortcomings related to Vaughan-Williams’ application of the GBB to various e
This thesis examines if there are any differences depending on gender in interpretation of the procedural requirement ”socially destructive behaviour” in the LVU. Furthermore, if ethics and expectations about gender influence transpiracy and legal certainty in these cases. The purpose is to find out if there are moral codes and expectations about how a girl or a boy should behave, which are not a
