Interest in Jane Austen’s fiction and life has never been greater than today. Her narrative works and worlds live on 200 years after their publication not only through their own popularity, but also through numerous re-presentations in the forms of novels, movies, television series, and fan fictions that keep flourishing from her fictional worlds and characters. Austen’s novels, her settings, and

This is a problematization of UN’s work on preventing child soldiers and also an analysis of the consistency between the Convention on the Right of the Child and Responsibility to Protect (R2P). I have chosen to examine the Convention on the Right of the Child because it expresses the human rights of a child, and R2P because it phrases UN’s opportunity to protect human rights in a state where thos

When founding the modern human rights protection, the UN did to a great extent have focus on protecting men and men’s rights, even though one of the core principles of human rights is their universality.

The pursuit of weapons which distance the soldier from the actual battlefield has been going on ever since the transition from the waging of war using short blades, to the waging of war using bow and arrow. Today, that ambition has reached an almost completion with the ever-increasing number of unmanned, remote-controlled vehicles that are rapidly becoming the most common and prominent method of w

Personalen på ungdomshemmen har särskilda befogenheter vilket motiveras av de placerade barnen och ungas omfattande problematik.

Problem: Veckopress, i huvudsak den som är riktad till kvinnan, har en tendens att skapa och bibehålla en viss form av medial "kvinnokultur". Veckorevyn är, enligt vår mening, ett bra exempel på just en sådan tidning. För en ungefär två år sedan, augusti 2000, tillträdde Emma Hamberg posten som Veckorevyns chefredaktö r. Hamberg hade för avsikt att förändra tidningen på ett, enligt henne

Bakgrund: Äldre är en växande grupp av vårdsökande på akutmottagningarna och resurserna ökar inte i takt med det ökade behovet av vård.

The length of stay in the emergency department increases annually, and older patients are hit hardest. Visiting the emergency department can be a challenge for the elderly in the busy environment found in the emergency department. Purp

För att nå långsiktig framgång måste företag röra sig snabbare och anpassa sig bättre till omgivningen än sina konkurrenter. Ett sätt att göra detta är att ta del av innovati-va teknologier för att skapa konkurrensfördelar. Nowaste Logistics som är en tredje-partsleverantör inom frukt och grönsaksmarknaden, beslutade år 2008 att införa RFID-teknologi för att öka spårbarheten på sina varor och på s
