On 2 November 1994, the Human Rights Committee adopted General Comment No. 24 (52), which was clearly provoked by the great number of reservations deposited by States to the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) and its two Optional Protocols. In this decision, the Committee states its opinion on a variety of matters. All relate to the permissibility and effect of reservatio

Abstract in UndeterminedA one-dimensional model for the sedimentation-compression-dispersion process in the secondary settling tank can be expressed as a nonlinear strongly degenerate parabolic partial differential equation (PDE), which has coefficients with spatial discontinuities. Reliable numerical methods for simulation produce approximate solutions that converge to the physically relevant sol

A recent study from Lund University shows that more than 25 % of the female students have experienced sexual harassment or violence during their studies. Most of them stated they didn’t tell anyone about this, least of all anyone at university.. At the same time there seems to be a growing demand from students that university responds and takes action against sexual violence on campus. This could

The effect of clock skew and duty-cycle on the performance of high-Q N-phase band-pass filters (BPFs) have been examined in this paper. Following a mathematical approach and using the analytical derivations carried out, the effects of such non-idealities as clock skew and duty-cycle error are determined in an N-path filter. It is analytically proved that image signals from all integer multiples of

In the absence of strong international agreements, many municipal governments are leading efforts to build resilience to climate change in general and to extreme weather events in particular. However, it is notoriously difficult to guide and activate processes of change in complex adaptive systems such as cities. Participatory scenario planning with city professionals and members of civil society

Climate change has led to an increase in heavy summer rainfalls, and climate projections for Sweden indicate that there will be more sudden rainfall in the future. While the exact locations and time for this rainfall are unknown, it is known that there will be damages to buildings, cars, and people when the rainfall occurs. It is thus important to evaluate past events to understand the resulting fClimate change has led to an increase in heavy summer rainfalls, and climate projections for Sweden indicate that there will be more sudden rainfall in the future.

We study the behaviour of an interacting particle system, related to the Bak–Sneppen model and Jante’s law process defined in Kennerberg and Volkov (Adv Appl Probab 50:414–439, 2018). Let N≥ 3 vertices be placed on a circle, such that each vertex has exactly two neighbours. To each vertex assign a real number, called fitness (we use this term, as it is quite standard for Bak–Sneppen models). Now f

Pre-understanding – our presuppositions of reality – underlies all research. Many researchers probably also draw productively on their pre-understanding in their studies. However, very few rationales and methodological resources exist for how researchers can enrich their research by mobilizing their pre-understanding more actively and systematically. We elaborate and propose a framework for how re

Mass-produced consumer packages are everyday objects that almost go unnoticed. However, by claiming things such as the essence of femininity or masculinity, they affect us and are co-creators of our reality. Based on visual ethnography, this article traces the representation of gender on mass-produced packaging during a time when male privilege is being challenged and female visual objectification

This chapter examines discourses on the digitalization of consumption based on field work conducted at some of the many trade fairs for e-commerce that pop up every year in different cities all over Europe. It builds on studying the role played by consumer research in the performative enactment of consumer subjectivities. The chapter focuses on how consumer subjectivities are constructed and how p

The success of social movements is highly dependent on their sustainability, as in their efforts to produce meaningful change, they inevitably encounter oppressive dominant forces. With the advent of the social media era, scholarly research on collective action has acquired an additional dimension, bringing the role of their communicative constitution to the forefront of discussions. However, a de

This article argues that, in 1QHa 11:20-27; 20:27-39 and Sir 33:7-15, the use of allusions to humanity's creation from dust in Genesis 2-3 and to its formation from clay in Isa 29:16; 45:9; Jer 18:4, 6 represents a conscious exegetical process in which the Genesis and prophetic traditions were read and used in light of one another. Although originating within different social environments - one se

This paper seeks to advance our theoretical understanding of diversifying and homogenizing processes in human societies by exploring the sources of and threats to ethnolinguistic or cultural diversity. Invoking concepts such as ethnogenesis, schismogenesis, and structural transformations, it discusses the parallels as well as the divergences between biological and cultural theory. Models in histor

This chapter longitudinal and quantitative spatial analysis, the authors consider how green gentrification and concurrently displacement are manifesting in the city of Barcelona in the context of greening projects since the 1990s. They provides a more indepth theoretical review of the literature on green gentrification and displacement, explaining how the topics are approached, and outline Barcelo

Increased interest in hemicelluloses as a renewable source of biopolymers has resulted in an interest in hemicelluloses in process streams in pulp mills. The aim of this study was to compare potential positions for the withdrawal of hemicelluloses from mechanical pulp mills. Samples were withdrawn at a total of fourteen positions from two thermomechanical and two chemi-thermomechanical pulp mills.

We present a method for performing quantum state holography, with which we completely characterize the amplitude and phase of an attosecond electron wave packet. Our approach is an extension of a recent publication [J. Mauritsson et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 105, 053001 (2010)] in which we demonstrated experimentally that the energies and amplitudes of an attosecond electron wave packet can be charact

The Matern covariance function is a popular choice for modeling dependence in spatial environmental data. Standard Matern covariance models are, however, often computationally infeasible for large data sets. Recent results for Markov approximations of Gaussian Matern fields based on Hilbert space approximations are extended using wavelet basis functions. Using a simulation-based study, these Marko

Real-space collective excitation dynamics in molecular aggregates is studied using a model where the electronic system is described via exciton theory with surface hopping. The nuclear dynamics are included using the Langevin equation where temperature and zero-point motions are entered via the fluctuation-dissipation theorem. Dynamic processes like exciton relaxation, localization, polaron format

Popular Abstract in Swedish Varför beslutar politiker ibland att vidta till synes effektlösa åtgärder? Varför uppstår ibland stora politiska konflikter i små frågor? I vanliga fall vidtar man en politisk åtgärd därför att man eftersträvar det konkreta resultatet av åtgärden. Symbolpolitik är när en politisk fråga blir viktig, inte beroende på vad den konkret innebär och leder till, utan på grund aSymbolic politics is the degree to which political decision-making is motivated, not by the tangible aspects of the decision, but by the interpretation of what the decision represents symbolically. While symbolic politics is widely recognized as an important aspect of political decision-making, the phenomenon is insufficiently explored in political science. The first aim of the present dissertatio
