Doktrinen kring rättsstatsprincipen är nära sammanflätad med vad det innebär att leva i ett demokratiskt samhälle. Det är en rättsfilosofi som appliceras aktivt i domstolar och internationella organisationer såsom Europadomstolen och Förenta Nationerna, som en absolut nödvändighet för att främja och implementera rättvisa och fred på jorden. Trots skiljda tolkningar av vad principen om rättsstaten The doctrine on Rule of Law is intrinsic to what it means to live in a democratic society. It is a legal philosophy which has been, and continues to be, actively applied by courts and international organizations such as the European Court of Human Rights and the United Nations, as an absolute necessity to promote and enforce justice and peace across the globe. Despite diverse interpretations of th

This paper focuses on the connection between priests in the Church of Sweden and the psychological condition of burnout. There is evidence that shows that as a society goes through major changes there is an increase of burnout-related issues and problems. Personal factors for this state include stress induced by work – or family situations as well as genetics and personality. In Sweden, women are

In this thesis three different methodologies to convert Point-in-Time (PIT) probability of default (PD) to Through-the-Cycle (TTC) PD are applied on a sample of large Danish firms for the period 2005-2014. These kind of methodologies are important for preventing pro-cyclicality in the capital requirement, i.e. how much capital banks need to hold in order to cope with unexpected losses. The methods

Conducted between the months of January and March 2012 in Eldoret Kenya, this study sought to find out why the internally displaced women of Yamumbi IDP Camp A remained trapped in the displacement camp. The study sought the opinions and views of the women. By applying qualitative approach method of semi-structured interviews and focus group discussions hand-recorded data was collected. Using purpo

My main purpose in this master thesis is to investigate what it meant to be a nun in Vadstena abbey in the beginning of the 16th-century according to the confessor general Nicolaus Ragvaldi. The main question of this thesis is: What should the ideal nun be like according to the sermons of the confessor general Nicolaus Ragvaldi performed in Vadstena abbey 1501 – 1506? While other legislative texts

Bakgrund: En obehandlad hörselnedsättning kan skapa följdproblem så som försämrad livskvalité och depression. Individen genomgår en process mot att acceptera sin hörselnedsättning och det tar i snitt 10 år innan individen inser sitt problem och att han/hon behöver söka hjälp. Internetbaserad hörselscreening är ett enkelt sätt att nå ut till många individer med hörselnedsättning och få dem uppmärks

In December 2015, the world leaders proclaimed in the Paris Agreement that they would pursue efforts to limit global warming to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels. This long-term vision was first suggessted to UNFCCC in 2008 by AOSIS, a negotiation group for small island states, who are amongst those who are the most vulnerable to the effects of climate change. AOSIS have been advocating for this v

The purpose of the study was to gain an in-depth understanding of upper secondary school's own experiences of how high degree of perfectionism is affecting their mental health. Selection of informants took place with surveys, where their degree of perfectionism was estimated. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with eight high school students studying in academic preparatory programs. Th

Ease of Doing Business Index is published every year by the World Bank, and is used to describe how simple it is to start-up and run a business in different parts of the world. The index is constructed by eleven indicators, which are based upon around forty underlying variables. This essay examines the correlation between the underlying variables for the indicators Starting a business and Paying

Products of Axis Communications, mostly premium class cameras and wall mounts, have previously been installed on trusses. However, Axis has not provided any means of installation so it has been up to the installers to create their own solutions. This report describes the research and development of Axis first truss mount. The aim of the master thesis was to both study the environment of the produ

The chemical origin of the firefly bioluminescence has been investigated by means of density functional and multireference theoretical methods. Different hypotheses on the mechanism of multicolour emission have been investigated: twisting around the central carbon–carbon bond, polarizability of the oxyluciferin microenvironment and presence of resonance structures. The calculated results indicated

Human group IIA-secreted phospholipase A(2) (sPLA(2)-IIA) is a bactericidal molecule important for the innate immune defense against Gram-positive bacteria. In this study, we analyzed its role in the host defense against Streptococcus pyogenes, a major human pathogen, and demonstrated that this bacterium has evolved a previously unidentified mechanism to resist killing by sPLA(2)-IIA. Analysis of

Currently available methodologies arguably lack the exquisite control required for producing metal-organic framework (MOF) thin films of sufficient quality for electronic applications. By directing MOF transfer with self-assembled monolayers (SAMs), we achieve very smooth, homogeneous, highly oriented, ultrathin films across millimeter-scale areas that display moderate conductivity likely due to e

Background: The aim was to study health-related quality of life, five years after an intervention study among young adults with asthma. Method: The design was a follow-up study of a cohort of young adults with asthma (n = 64) and 248 general, population controls. Both groups were investigated at follow-up with a respiratory questionnaire and one generic quality-of-life instrument, and the asthma c

Tungsten particles have been introduced into the National Spherical Torus Experiment (NSTX) in Princeton with the purpose to investigate the effects of tungsten injection on subsequent plasma discharges. An experimental setup for the study of tungsten particle transport is described where the particles are introduced into the tokamak using a modified particle dropper, otherwise used for lithium-po

Several protein kinase C (PKC) isoforms have been suggested as potential targets for breast cancer therapy. To explore the role for PKC isoforms in processes that facilitates malignant progression and the utility of PKC isoforms as biomarkers in breast cancer, we designed a study where we evaluated the expression of PKCα, δ, and ε in primary breast cancers as well as in breast cancer cell lines. W

Bones are able to adapt their local density when exposed to mechanical loading. Such growth processes result in densification of the bone in regions of high loading levels and in resorption of the material in regions of low loading levels. This evolution and optimisation process generates heterogeneous distributions of bone density accompanied by pronounced anisotropic mechanical properties. While
