In marine insurance causation is a fundamental principle. Causation defines if a loss falls under the insurance policy or if the loss is too remote to be considered under the insurance policy. In order to define the necessary causal connection different principles are used in different countries, or in relation to different perils. In England the proximate cause principle is used while the Nordic
This empirical qualitative study focus on understandings of Children’s rights from a Ugandan managerial staff perspective, with a selection of representation of seven Head-teachers, equivalent to principals, in primary schools. The research questions are three-folded, firstly concerning how Head-teachers understand Children’s rights in the context of the school, secondly dealing with respondent’s
This thesis deals with the development of socioeconomic position and outcomes on health in Ireland and Greece after the hit of the financial crisis. This is done with the application of Weber’s theoretical approach on class, status, and power and the theoretical underlying of the concept of socioeconomic position. Additionally, this research is conducted through a quantitative case study, analyzin
The urban human of today is becoming increasingly dependent on different functions of the society to survive, such as electricity and communications, functions which are sensitive to e.g. storms. The on-going climate change is and will further put a pressure on these functions. Concerns have risen that today’s public is limited in its ability to independently deal with the consequences of societal
In this work, spatially resolved localized surface plasmons (LSPs) in individual silver nanocubes and nanoellipsoids are imaged with a photoemission electron microscope (PEEM). Using broadband laser pulses with photon energies below the work function threshold of the material, multiphoton photoemission (MPPE) processes coupled to the LSPs governs the strong enhancement of the plasmonic near-field
Biotechnology company Medetect AB has developed a technology for staining of multiple cell types in the same tissue sample enabling positioning of cells as well as giving a way to distinguish between cell types. With new methods of visualising human tissue at a cellular level, comes a need to analyse this data. In this thesis, we therefore investigate some new methods, spectral non-parametric as w
Cities around the world are facing a multitude of urban challenges that demand that they change the way they plan and think about their city, with one of the ways of approaching sustainability being the Smart city. A core feature of the Smart city is the idea of collecting large quantities of data on the city, big data, which is then used in various city solutions. In the wake of this, several que
This study estimates the responsiveness of Official development assistance (ODA) to aid recipient countries’ needs, human rights, and governance. To attain the objective the author forms a multiple linear regression model where net ODA per capita is the dependent variable and GDP per capita, infant mortality rate, adult literacy rate, civil liberties and government effectiveness are the explanator
The thesis undertakes an analysis of the current tension between patents law obligations under TRIPS Agreement and human rights, specifically in the context of how the TRIPS Agreement influences health innovation and access to medicines in Brazil. Following a general overview of the interaction between human rights and patent law within the WTO, the central aim is based on the empirical analysis o
Med ofta stora summor involverade i ärenden relaterade till osäkra hamnar är det av stort intresse för både redaren och befraktaren att etablera deras respektive risk de har under en resa. Den här uppsatsen behandlar relationen mellan redaren och befraktaren då redaren har åsamkats skada på grund av en osäker hamn. Frågan är till vilken grad det är möjligt att hålla befraktaren ansvarig för en såWith often large amounts involved, the issue of unsafe ports is of great interest for both the shipowner and the charterer in order to establish what kind of risk they would bear under a voyage. This thesis deals with the relationship between the shipowner and the charterer when the shipowner has suffered a loss due to an unsafe port. The question is to what extent it is possible to hold the char
Uppsatsen syftar till att jämföra hur tolkningen av targeting-reglerna inom den humanitära rätten skiljer sig åt mellan Sverige och USA. Uppsatsen fokuserar på grunderna inom targeting, dvs. distinktions- och proportionalitetsprincipen, och avser att åskådliggöra den amerikanska och svenska synen på vad som utgör ett lagligt mål och hur ett sådant mål attackeras på ett lagligt vis. En komparativThe purpose of the thesis is to compare how the interpretation of the law of targeting differs between the United States and Sweden. The thesis is focused on the basis of the law of targeting, i.e. the principles of distinction and proportionality, and answers the questions of what the view of the United States and Sweden is regarding what constitutes a lawful target and how to lawfully attack suc

Two novel tetradentate ligands N, N’-Dimethyl-N, N’-bis(2-(chloromethyl)-1-methylbenzimidazole)- ethane-1,2-diamine (mepL), (-)-2-(((S)-2-((S)-1-(benzimidazol-2-ylmethyl) pyrrolidin-2-yl) pyrrolidin-1-yl)methyl)benzimidazole (PDPL) and their iron complexes [Fe(mepL)(CH3CN)2](SbF6)2 (SbF62), [Fe(CF3SO3)2(PDPL)] (OTf1) and [Fe(PDPL) (CH3CN)2](SbF6)2 (SbF61) were synthesized and characterized with IR
The design of a policy based on the Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) principle can involve one or several Producer Responsibility Organisations (PROs) as well as various degree of involvement on the part of municipalities. The thesis is analysing the implications of different choices regarding these two aspects in light of the experiences with EPR systems for household packaging in three Eur
Living in a world, where constantly growing energy consumption and climate change are issues of increasing concern, it is necessary to decrease fossil fuel consumption and promote more sustainable ways of gaining energy, such as renewables (IPCC, 2007). Poland as a member of the European Union was obliged to comply with European policies and increase its share of renewable energy by 2020. However,
The aim of this master thesis has been to develop a Blocking device that makes sure that a Spring parking brake is not unintentionally activated after a manual release. There is also a need for developing a new Piston indicator that should give two signals depending on if the Spring parking brake is active or inactive. Both are supposed to fit with a completely new generation of Spring parking bra
Problem definition Nowadays society is very concerned with sustainability. Companies try their best to meet sustainability customers’ expectations and regulations. The adoption of Lean and Six Sigma could bring sustainability improvements, but it is not clear how these three areas are combined and how they are currently addressed by companies. Purpose Explore the relationship between Lean, Six Sig
Denna studie har genomförts på Tetra Pak för att studera deformation i vätskekartong under vikning. När en förpackning formas i fyllmaskinerna viks kartongen enligt biglinjerna. Det finns ett stort intresse av att studera vikprocessen då den är avgörande för den slutgiltiga kvaliteten av förpackningen. Matematiska modeller används för att simulera kartong men dessa kräver verkliga mätningar och dThis study has been conducted at Tetra Pak to study deformation in liquid packaging paperboard during the folding process. When a package is formed in the filling machines, the paperboard is folded according to the crease lines. It is of great interest to study the folding process since it is crucial to the final quality of the package. Mathematical models are used for simulation of paperboard bu
