Polisiära och statliga insatser som riktar sig mot en särskild grupThis thesis discusses the use of stereotypes and social categories in the police force. The study illustrates how stereotypes inevitably lead to several problematic consequences.

A 1561-year tree-ring width (TRW) chronology covering the period 2668–1108 BC (4617–3057 BP) has been developed from 159 moisture-sensitive peatland pines (Pinus sylvestris L.) sampled at Åbuamossen, southern Sweden. Tree population dynamics and annual growth responses of the trees were shown to reflect and give absolute age to regional hydro-climatological changes.

En parts tillgång till information i en rättegång blir ofta avgörande för hur väl denne kan tillvarata sin rätt. Det är som huvudregel upp till parterna själva att anskaffa informationen, men det finns undantag. För de fall en informations-innehavare vid den utomprocessuella informationsanskaffningen inte med-verkar kan domstolen ibland bistå med informationsanskaffningen. Informationsanskaffning
Visibility in smoke has since the 1970s gained some attention, mostly after Tadahisa Jin ran the experiments which helped him develop todays widely used visibility equation. By showing that visibility can be assumed to be inversely proportional to the extinction coefficient by a visibility constant (equal to 8 for light emitting sign and 3 for light reflecting), Jin opened up new doors for researc

New living arrangements can effect a childs fundamental sense of security as well as having consequences later on in life. The object of this research paper was to exa
Intellectual property law seeks to promote society's industrial development through the recognition of patents. The logic of granting patent protection is clear-cut: Patents provide incentives for developing new technology. The lack of an adequate legal protection for innovations would slow progress and the benefits it brings. Without legal protection, companies would be unlikely to spend sign
If as Hersch Lauterpact stated in the most overly quoted Humanitarian Lawyers phrase in Oppenheim's International Law, International Humanitarian Law lies at the vanishing point of International Law, then I would posit that it is only the continuance of education particularly education in LOAC that prevents it from vanishing altogether. The preservation of the buildings housing that education

The INGOs worked in many different ways to increase
