Bristerna har sin grund i att utvecklingen av internationell straffrätt ofta varit ad hoc och i samband med extrema politiska omständigheter som krig och konflikter.

En uppsjö av extruderade livsmedelsprodukter återfinns idag på butikshyllorna inom dagligvaruhandeln och antalet produkter ökar ständigt. Det rör sig om allt från snacks som ostbågar och tortilla chips till majskrokar och frukostflingor. Trots den stora mängden produkter är extrudering en för allmänheten ofta okänd teknik. Denna typ av produkter har ofta ansetts vara onyttiga men nya rön antyder aExtrusion cooking is a technique that has been extensively developed in the last decades and is today strongly associated with the production of snack foods and breakfast cereals. This project aimed to map the extrudate properties of four different cereal materials extruded at two different moisture contents and three different temperatures.

Dividing wall columns are single shell distillation columns which are thermally fully coupled. DWC has the ability to create three product streams from one feed stream. A simulation of DWCs is hard due to the complexity of the system. Unfortunately, there is no good software package that can be used for simulations. Instead a detailed flowsheet with the right components and good arrangement over t
The purpose of this study is to understand and gain insights into the entrepreneurial marketing experiences of female immigrant women in the Helsinki metropolitan area. There is limited literature on immigrant entrepreneurs in Finland and even less regarding female immigrant entrepreneurs, thus it is important to investigate this subject matter. A qualitative research method is adopted, through t
This thesis is written as an introductory compilation of two-dimensional electronic spectroscopy (2DES) and its applications. It introduces the concepts of 2DES where the aim is to provide an overview of the technique and a few of its more prominent applications for those who are not already familiar with the technique. 2DES is a third-order optics technique that utilizes three interactions with l
Sveriges plansystem är omfattande och processerna tar ofta lång tid. För att kunna möta akuta behov av bostäder och främja en effektiv samhällsutveckling behövs vissa ventiler i systemet. Tidsbegränsade bygglov tillåter avsteg från vissa förutsättningar som normalt behöver uppfyllas för permanenta bygglov. Syftet med arbetet är att utreda hur regeln om tidsbegränsade bygglov i 9 kap 33 § PBL tolThere is a big need for new residential areas in Sweden but the process of exploitation and building is time-consuming. Temporary Building Permits allow construction, even though some of the normally required criteria are not fulfilled. An ease in the legislation is useful in order to meet urgent needs and to achieve an efficient land use. The purpose of this thesis is to study how the regulatio
1991-års skattereform har inneburit att den svenska företagsbeskattningen i huvudsak anpassas till den europeiska marknaden.

The formation of smooth quasi-periodic patterns in static discrete reaction-diffusion systems of various kinds is here studied from a mathematical point of view. The regularity of the patterns can be attributed to the integrability of the system, so that, when searching for such patterns in a system, it is important to investigate whether or not there exist any conserved quantities. The work prese
