Even though many states have ratified the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child and sworn to protect human rights, viloations occur every day both in developed and developing countries. United Nations gave Sweden critique for not implementing the Convention conrerning article 11, which raises the question how respected the Convention is amongst other states? Does democracy contribute to a higher level of implementation?.

Purpose.The purpose of this essay was formulated as to examine the relationship between the development of deaths caused by unintentional injury and fast economic development in a country. The purpose is to create a picture of the development in the chosen countries.Background.Injuries and the deaths that sometimes follow are a problem for all communities, if nothing else just because of costs and the absence of incomes for the state. Countries ability to restrain these deaths should be of interest. Studies show that the number of deaths causedby unintentional injuries correlates inversely with the GDP/c, we can therefore expect that better economic conditions leads to fewer deaths and vice versa. It has been shown that an economic crisis often leads to considerably higher death rates.

Syfte:Uppsatsens syfte är att testa den svaga formen av marknadseffektivitet på ett antal aktiemarknader genom teknisk analys i form av system med glidande medelvärden. Teoretisk referensram:Den teoretiska referensramen utgår ifrån den effektiva marknadshypotesen men omfattar även behavioral finance och teknisk analys. Metod:Uppsatsen är av förklarande karaktär med ett positivistiskt synsätt och ett deduktivt angreppssätt. Testen av marknadseffektivitetens svaga form sker genom en kvantitativ undersökning av sekundärdata. I undersökningen genomförs en hypotesprövning där en passiv investeringsstrategi jämförs mot aktiva investeringsstrategier byggda på system med glidande medelvärden. Undersökningen omfattar åren 2002-2009 och sker på tio väletablerade aktieindex, i Norden samt på tillväxtmarknader och på etablerade marknader, vilket ger cirka 17 500 observationer. Empiri:Hypotesprövningen visar att system med glidande medelvärden har kunnat skapa riskjusterad överavkastning samt kunnat förutse framtida kursrörelser på aktiemarknaderna i Danmark, Norge, Sverige och Hong Kong. På aktiemarknaderna i Finland, Brasilien, Indien, Japan, Tyskland och USA har systemen som testats inte kunnat skapa riskjusterad överavkastning och/eller inte kunnat förutse framtida kursrörelser. Analys:Det finns flera faktorer som påverkat resultaten i olika grad vilket gör att endast indikationer om grad av effektivitet på de olika marknaderna ges i slutsatsen. Slutsatser:På aktiemarknaderna i Danmark, Norge, Sverige och Hong Kong ges indikationer om att kraven för svag marknadseffektivitet inte uppnåtts.

1990 Sweden ratified the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, with 54 rights. The Convention on the Rights of the Child does not apply as law in Sweden. However, all countries that have ratified the convention, has an obligation to implement the convention in all decision making and practical management that includes children. The purpose of the study is to examine the implementation of the convention in relation to unaccompanied refugee children on a state, municipal and non-profit level by using three actors. The actors are the Swedish immigration service, Stockholm social service and the NGO Save the Children.

The purpose of this study is to describe how expatriates at Handelsbanken in France, Hong Kong, China, Russia and Singapore have adapted to the host culture. To illustrate how well they acculturated following seven factors have been chosen: Time, previous international experience, cultural distance, language, work environment, spouse acculturation and met expectations. The study was conducted through interviews with six expatriates and surveys answered by nine expatriates. Our study shows that the expatriates have experienced different lengths for cultural adaptation. The majority of the respondents indicated that it took up to six months before they adapted culturally.

The aim of this Masters thesis is to examine how five childrens librarians in Ireland and five in Sweden interpret and implement the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child in public libraries. This study is hermeneutic. Using a qualitative method consisting of ten interviews with childrens librarians and structural factors such as; library policies and laws; together with an insight into Irelands political, social and economical history and the historical development of childrens public libraries in Sweden and Ireland, has enabled us to create an understanding for the interviewees statements. Anthony Giddens structuration theory has been used for the analysis, helping us to determine how the duality between the structure, the actors and their action effect the interpretation and implementation of the Convention in librarian work. The result of the analysis clearly shows that in comparison to Irish librarians, the Swedish interviewees are more aware and have a better understanding of the Convention and how to put it into practice.

On November 1989 the Convention on the Rights of the Child was adopted by the United Nations General Assembly. Today more than 20 years later the convention is ratified by all countries in the world except the USA. A question asked is however if the convention after 20 years of development work has in fact accomplished some positive effects for children around the world? The aim of this thesis is to evaluate the implementation of the Convention on the Rights of the Child in selected states and to reach this aim some questions need to be answered: What do the selected states do to realize the best interest of the child?What do the selected states do to guarantee all children?s right to survival and development?Do all children in the selected states have the same right to health and health services?Do all children in the selected states have the same right to education? The material studied in this thesis is those reports that are to be sent periodically to the Committee on the Rights of the Child by all states. The result of this study shows that the Convention on the Rights of the Child has made some positive progresses when it comes to the situation of the child in the world.

In recent years, many efforts on nuclear disarmament and non-proliferations have been made by non-nuclear states and civil society. The dissatisfaction has motivated non-governmental organizations to pursue a ?humanitarian initiative? based on international conferences aimed at highlighting the humanitarian consequences of certain arms and nuclear weapons. This study examines the five key roles, according to Rapport et al. (2012), that civil society organizations have played in the establishment of arms control conventions, more specifically the Mine Ban Treaty, also called Ottawa Convention, and the Cluster Munition Convention.

The purpose of this master?s thesis is to investigate the culture for children in the age of 10-12 year-old at the library in a small town and to see if the library and children shared the same view of the libraries missions. We have interviewed 3 groups of 5-7 children at two times. We have also interviewed a children librarian about her opinion of her work and childrenculture. The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child works as our theory in this thesis.

This thesis aimed to, with the help of a case study, investigate and discuss state responsibility towards climate refugees. The state of Tuvalu was selected because of their vulnerability as a low-lying island state. This was fulfilled by on-site study how the state Tuvalu acted to climate threats, determine if the future migrants from Tuvalu can be counted as climate refugees and find out if they are by that definition included by the UN Refugee Convention. The result indicated that the state of Tuvalu is adapting to climate threats, that in the future the population can be seen as climate refugees, if they are forced from their homes due to climate change, and that they, despite that definition, can not be included by the UN Refugee Convention. The study also indicates a need for greater international protection of climate refugees by, for example, an expansion of the UN Refugee Convention so that these vulnerable people do not fall into oblivion due to a question of definition..

Syfte.Syftet med uppsatsen formulerades som att undersöka sambandet mellanutvecklingen av dödsfall till följd av oavsiktlig skada och en snabb ekonomisk utveckling i ett land. Syftet är uttalat explorativt i sin karaktär och avser att frambringa en bild av utvecklingen i de utvalda länderna.Bakgrund.Skador och därpå följande dödsfall är ett problem för alla samhällen, om inte annat på grund av kostnader och uteblivna intäkter för det offentliga. Länders förmåga att stävja dessa dödsfall torde vara av intresse. Studier visar att antalet dödsfall till följd av oavsiktlig skada generellt korrelerar negativt med BNP/c, således kan man förvänta sig att förbättrade ekonomiska förhållanden leder till färre dödsfall och vice versa. Det har visats på att en ekonomisk kris ofta leder till kraftigt ökande dödsfrekvenser.

The Swedish rules for marrying in Sweden are different for swedish citizens and foreigners. A swedish citizen has to have permission from"Länsstyrelsen"to marry before the age of 18 but a foreigner may marry without permission at an age of 15, unless a higher age is required by the foreign law. The main question in this essay is if the swedish international law concerning the age of marriage is compatible with the Convention on the Rights of the Child and/or the Swedish Constitution. The comparison is based on mainly two questions: Primarily the Swedish international law is discussed concerning which marrying age is good for the child. Thereafter it is discussed whether it is discriminating to have different marrying ages for swedish and foreign citizens.

In a recently published official Report from the Swedish Government (SOU 2010:73) a leg- islative proposal has been introduced. Its main purpose is to prevent parallel registrations of ships that are bareboat chartered to other countries. The legislative proposal claims that by preventing parallel registration of ships the Swedish Maritime Code will better corre- spond with the UN convention on the law of the sea.The UN convention on the law of the sea clearly states that ships are forbidden to fly two flags. There is however no restriction concerning parallel registration, simultaneously, in two registers. A ship that is bareboat chartered out from Sweden does not fulfil criteria re- quired in order to be deregistered, according to the Swedish maritime code.

Den här uppsatsen är en utredning och analys av hur Sveriges utrikeshandel har förändrats med en grupp öst Asiatiska länder: Singapore, Hong Kong, Taiwan och Syd-Korea. Alla länderna har kännetecknats av fyra årtionden av mycket hög tillväxt, där länderna gått från att vara fattiga utvecklingsländer till att ha en utvecklingsnivå jämförbara med många I? länder i Väst. Först presenteras en historiskt beskrivning av länderna med översikt över den ekonomiska utvecklingen. Relevant teoribildning inom området tas upp.

In 1972 the regulations on tax surcharge were introduced. In the new system the sur-charge are imposed by the Tax Authority (skatteverket) and not the Court. Since 1995 the European Convention on Human Rights constitute law in Sweden, which means that Sweden is forced to guarantee its citizens the human rights in the Convention. Article 6 in the Convention states that everyone, in the determination of his civil rights and obligations or of any criminal charge against him, is entitled to a fair hea-ring within reasonable time. The Article also expresses the right for anyone charged with a criminal offence to be presumed innocent until proved guilty according to law (the presumtion of innocence).
