A growing number of environmental movements recognize the need for changing our spiritual approach to the environment, while we simultaneously witness a revival and development of ecotheologies and religiously motivated environmental initiatives. Islamic theological discourse on ecological issues is quite well studied, but less attention has been directed to how Islamic ecology has been translated

This study begins in the understanding of sustainable development as a complex matter open for interpretation, and continues in the notion that different dimensions of sustainability create different values that have different goals; meaning that they will sometimes unite, and sometimes collide and lead to trade-offs. The aim for this study is to add to the understanding of this matter through an

Initially it is determined that the nobility reestablished itself in Lund during the 16th century after being almost non-existent by the time of the protestant reformation. During the 17th century, the presence of nobility was once more reduced. The reasons for the increased presence after the protestant reformation are analyzed using three main parameters – power, social and economical factors. A

Detta arbete tar sikte på barnet och dess rätt till religionsfrihet. Svensk och internationell lagstiftning stadgar en allmän rätt till religionsfrihet och frågan hanteras här huruvida denna frihet även tillfaller barn. Inledningsvis presenteras religionsfriheten i framför allt den europeiska konventionen om mänskliga rättigheter, för att sedan redogöra för FN:s konvention om barnets rättigheter s

This work discusses the representation of ethnic diversity in contemporary stock photography imagery in the light of postcolonial critical theory. Departing from the Visual Content analysis of a random sample of stock photography retrieved from the Getty Images database, it attempts an interpretation of the empirical findings following the concepts of Whiteness and Self / Other dichotomy, both bel

Staters immunitet i fall som rör grova kränkningar av mänskliga rättigheter har blivit flitigt omdiskuterad i den folkrättsliga debatten, och har gett upphov till motstridiga domar bland olika nationella domstolar. Medan grova kränkningar av mänskliga rättigheter utgör brott mot tvingande folkrättsliga regler, jus cogens, från vilka inga avsteg är tillåtna, så utgör reglerna om statsimmunitet ett The jurisdictional immunity of states in cases concerning serious human rights violations has been extensively discussed in the international legal debate, and has given rise to conflicting judicial decisions by courts of various jurisdictions. While serious human rights violations constitute breaches of peremptory norms, jus cogens, from which no derogation is permitted, the law of state immunity

Horse flies and other biting Diptera are not only annoying pests, but can inflict numerous diseases on the people and animals they bite. Studies in recent years have shown horse flies are less attracted to striped surfaces, providing evidential support that zebra stripes have evolved as biting fly protection. The Omo River Valley tribes in the historical zebra range of southwest Ethiopia regularly

The main aim of the present study was to provide a deeper insight into the collateral consequences of news coverage. More specifically, how the interaction of valence (positive vs. negative) and proximity (domestic vs. foreign) impacts the perceived safety and optimism of the public. One hundred and seventy-four Dutch participants were randomly assigned to one of five conditions (neutral news, pos

I Sverige såväl som övriga världen ökar befolkningen för varje dag som går. Våra städer förtätas och överallt dyker nya byggnader upp. Förutom att uppföra fler byggnader vill vi även att dessa ska vara höga och på andra sätt komplexa. Detta ställer i sin tur högre krav på projektören som ska säkerställa byggnadens brandskydd. För att bestämma hur brandskyddet ska utformas i byggnader kan projektöAs buildings get more and more complex and our cities get more and more populated, challenges arise for the persons involved in designing buildings. One of the most important system, the fire protection measures, needs to be designed properly for every building. As the buildings get more complex, the fire protection design needs more often to be flexible and appropriate for the situation. One way

This case study examines Poland's unwillingness to participate in the European Union’s decision in September 2015 regarding the relocation of refugees from Greece and Italy, to other member states.

Kravet på dubbel straffbarhet är en regel av straffprocessrättslig karaktär som utgör ett villkor för svensk jurisdiktion och domstolsbehörighet. Kravet infördes först år 1957, men berörde då endast utlänningar. Först 1972 utvidgades principen och ett generellt krav på dubbel straffbarhet fördes in i den nya brottsbalken. Enligt BrB 2 kap. 2 § 2 stycke får inte svensk domstol döma över en gärnin

1900 infördes den första lagstadgade regleringen kring föräldraskap och 38 år senare trädde Sveriges första semesterlag i kraft. Idag är ledigheten en viktig anställningsförmån och med tiden har arbetstagare fått större inflytande vid förläggning av ledighet. Syftet med uppsatsen är att jämföra hur förläggning av ledighet regleras inom föräldraledighetslagen respektive semesterlagen för att utreThe first regulation on Parental Leave was established 1900 and 38 years later, The Annual Leave Act was passed by the Swedish Government.

Principen om skyldigheten att skydda är kontroversiell och har varit det sedan International Commission on Intervention and State Sovereignty introducerade principen. Principen antogs enhälligt av Förenta Nationernas medlemsstater 2005 och verkade vara ett nytt sätt att skydda medmänskliga värden. Principen om skyldigheten att skydda används för att skydda befolkningen inom stater där staterna sjäThe responsibility to protect is a controversial principle and has been ever since it was introduced by the International Commission on Intervention and State Sovereignty in 2001. Unanimously adopted by the United Nations member states in 2005 the principle seemed to be a new way of protecting humanitarian values. To protect the citizens of states when the states themselves are unwilling or unable

Surface roughness is one of the main challenges for the growing industry of additive manufacturing. Not only are surfaces rougher than on components produced by conventional means, but there is also a great variation within a single component as well. In this thesis, we have studied the surface roughness of AM components using focused variant microscope and X-ray computer tomography. This is used

Bananpiren means the Banana pier and the name is a remnant from when ships full of bananas unloaded by the docks.
