Barn i rättens gränsland. : Om barnperspektiv vid prövning om uppehållstillstånd.Nilsson, Eva January 2007 (has links)
The aim of this study is to highlight problems regarding the status of children in determining the granting of residence permits. Central to the study are the rules contained in the Swedish Aliens Act (2005:716) about hearing children in the course of proceedings and the child’s best interests. The rules are based on Articles 3 and 12 respectively, in the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC). They were introduced into the Swedish legislation in 1997, after an intense debate questioning whether Sweden was meeting its obligations under the Convention. The application in aliens matters has, however, continued to be criticized after the revision of 1997, especially in matters concerning children. In 2006 a new Aliens Act came into force, involving a shift in the handling of such matters from administrative authorities and the Government to a system where appeals are tried in administrative courts. The legislation also involves comprehensive changes concerning the material legislation. The question has been raised, however, as to whether these changes have had any vital impact concerning the general construction of the material regulation. The apparent gap between the legislator’s intentions and the application of the law raises questions about the limitations of law and how the spirit and intentions of the CRC have been implemented in the Aliens Act, and, in view of this, the limits of law. The study involves an analysis of the fundamental premises that the legislation and application rest on, the general provisions of the proceedings and the technical formulation and also the material content of these rules. There is also an analysis of the impact and function of the legislation in practical applications. The conclusion is that the legislation allows extensive scope for assessing the circumstances in each case. This is the case, particularly in matters concerning children. Nevertheless, in practical applications, children often become irrelevant; children are simply not the real focus of the laws that affect them. Key words: Children’s rights, residence permit, asylum, immigration, equality, feminist perspectives. Eva Nilsson, Juridiska institutionen, Umeå universitet, 901 87 Umeå.

Exploring consumer behaviour in the Saskatoon area at the turn of the twentieth century.Huynh, Thanh Tam Cam 14 September 2010
In 1881, an Ontario-based group known as the Temperance Colonization Society began looking towards the Canadian West with a speculative eye. Interested in acquiring tracts of land from the Canadian Government, the Temperance Colonization Society hoped to one day establish a new colony free from the temptations of alcohol and the troubles associated with older colonies. By 1884, a settlement was established along the south shore of the South Saskatchewan River. This was the beginning of Saskatoon.<p>
As Saskatoon grew from a small settlement founded on temperance ideals to a recognized municipal corporation, the meaning of the material culture associated with this transition also changed. Two archaeological sites pertaining to this transition, the Marr Residence at 326 11th Street East (FaNp-5) and the 11th Street Privy site (FaNp-31), currently comprise the only excavated privy assemblages in the city and hold rich potential for shedding light on urban consumption behaviour at the turn of the 20th century. This study will analyze the archaeological assemblages recovered from these excavations under the scope of consumer behaviour. By orienting the essence of this study towards an archaeology of consumerism, information regarding the dimensions of everyday life in the Saskatoon area at the turn of the 20th Century can be ascertained.

SYNS VI I SVERIGE? : En rättssäkerhetsstudie om barn i migrationsprocessen / ARE WE SEEN IN SWEDEN? : A thesis on the rule of law and children in the migration processPeippo, Patric January 2012 (has links)
The current thesis is on the rule of law and how the principles of the rule of law are met in the new Swedish migration process. The migration process has been subjected to criticism during several years and on different occasions. The migrations process is viewed through a “rights of the child” perspective, foremost to seek if the rights of the child are met. The children are a vulnerable group, not the least in the process of migration. Often tragic and traumatic events force the child to seek protection or settlement in another country. These children, along with all children, have certain rights – through international conventions, national law and ground principles from the rule of law. Such a right is, among others, the best interest of the child, which aims to pervade the process as a whole. The Swedish Migration Board (Migrationsverket) has been criticized for not fully meeting the standards of the best interest of the child. Investigations taken by the Swedish Migration Board as a part of the application process are often incomplete. The investigations lack child specific matters that can be decisive in the oncoming judgment. Other aspects of the process are the lengthy and time-consuming investigation and administration before judgment as well as the problem with inadequate identification documents regarding children from Somalia. The inadequate documentation makes it impossible for the children of Somalia to reunite with their relatives living in Sweden, due to the legal development. The migration process is compared with fundamental rule of law principles, in order to determine whether the process respects these principles or not. The area of migration has its flaws; no area in the governmental system is perfect. But with the new migration process there are new possibilities to fully comply with the ground principles of the rule of law and for the process to be legally certain.

Ra-226 and Pb-210/Ra-226 Activity Ratio in the Northern South China SeaLin, Chi-Ju 19 July 2004 (has links)
The purposes of this study are to understand the surface water distributions and vertical profiles of Ra-226 in the northern South China Sea (SCS), and to estimate the mean residence time of Pb-210 based on the extent of radioactive disequilibrium relative to Ra-226. Seawater samples of 20-liter size were collected during four Ocean Researcher I (ORI) cruises conducted in 2000, 2001, 2002 and 2003 (Cruise 575 in March, Cruise 606 in April, Cruise 662 in October, and Cruise 688 in July) for Ra-226 measurements.
Surface water Ra-226 in the study area varies between 10 and 16 dpm/100 kg with higher values at stations closer to the landmass of coastal China. The surface water Ra-226 distribution shows seasonal variation: the western Philippine Sea (WPS) surface water with low Ra-226 content enters the SCS and moves mainly northwestward in summer; this water shifts toward the center in autumn. Ra-226 profiles in the northern SCS generally show an increase from the surface toward the bottom, quite similar to that of the open ocean. However, Ra-226 is systematically higher in the northern SCS than in the western North Pacific above 1500m. This may be attributed to higher Ra-226 input from the vast area of the shelf and slope in the SCS. Below this depth, Ra-226 displays large variation in some of the profiles but the mean values are quite comparable to those of the western North Pacific at the corresponding depth. The deep water in the SCS basin probably derives its Ra from the underlying sediments similar to the case in open oceans.
The Pb-210/Ra-226 activity ratio in the study area ranges between 1.4 and 2.7 in the surface water with higher values at the stations closer to the Luzon Strait due to lower Ra-226 over there. The excess Pb-210 over Ra-226 in the surface water due to atmospheric input may penetrate to a depth of about 200 to 500m. Below this depth, Pb-210 becomes deficient because it is scavenged and removed by settling particulates. Below 1000m, the Pb-210/Ra-226 activity ratio varies around 0.7 to 0.5. Box model calculations within a mixed layer of 50m in the area yield a mean residence time of about 1 yr for Pb-210 if an atmospheric Pb-210 flux of 1.05 dpm/cm2/y is adopted. The activity ratio of about 0.5 to 0.7 in the deep water corresponds to a Pb-210 mean residence time of about 30 to 70 yrs with respect to particulate scavenging. These values are quite comparable to those determined from the Pacific deep water, suggesting that Pb-210 in the SCS deep water is scavenged and removed by sinking particulates at a rate similar to that in the deep open oceans.

The Study of Catalytic Oxidation of Nitrogen MonoxideWang, Ching-Chie 31 July 2000 (has links)
The study of catalytic oxidation on the removal of NO was investigated over the Cu-catalysts . The Cu-catalysts , including Cu/TiO2 , Cu/Al2O3 and Cu/SiO2 , were prepared by impregnation method . Alougth NO2 , the product of this reaction , has higher toxicity than NO , but it might be removed completely by absorption with H2O or alkalinal solution for its high solubility .
The experiments can be divided into three parts , i.e. , the screen of test catalysts , the effect of operating factors on the conversion of NO and the kinetic model . In the first part , the activity of test catalysts , which were prepared by mixing three various sources of Cu-ions¡]i.e., Cu(NO3)2 , Cu(CH3COO)2 , and CuSO4¡^with three different types of support¡]i.e., TiO2 , Al2O3 , and SiO2¡^, and were compared in form of conversion on NO to find the best catalyst . The results show that the mixture Cu(NO3)2 / TiO2 has the good performance on the conversion of NO , and also has more wider operating in range of temperature . In order to find the optimal loading of Cu on Cu(NO3)2 / TiO2 , additional test of various dosage over the catalysts was conduct in series . It is found that 8wt.% of Cu loading on Cu(NO3)2 / TiO2 is the most economic dosage . Therefore , we select this type of Cu oxide as the best catalyst in the following work .
In the second part , the effect of NO inlet concentration , space velocity and humidity on the conversion of NO were performed . The results show that the conversion of NO decreases with the increasing of [NO]in when [NO]in is larger than 1000ppm¡Fthe conversion of NO is not changed with [NO]in when [NO]in is lower than 1000ppm . The better space velocity is 15000hr-1 , i.e.,the empty bed residence time is 0.24 second . The reaction on NO conversion would be restrained by higher humidity contenting in inlet gas stream , but the effect of inhibition on NO conversion is not significant .
Finally , the kinetics of the oxidation of NO over 8wt.% Cu(NO3)2 / TiO2 was obtained by integral method .It is found that the oxidations of NO can be described by first order reversible reaction and the observed activation energy are 15.8 kcal/mole¡]forward reaction¡^and 25.9 kcal/mole¡]backward reaction¡^, respectively . By comparing the conversion of predicted NO with the experimentals , we can find the suitable operation conditions in application of the kinetic model : the inlet concentration of NO in a range of 300-1000ppm , the empty-bed residence time ranging from 0.12-0.48 second , and the absolute humidity ranging from 4854 to 42475ppm .

Tidal Exchange Process at Ta-pon BayCheng, Po-Hsin 29 August 2002 (has links)
The study site, Ta-pon Bay, is located in southwestern Taiwan that has the total volume of 9.92 x 106 m3, surface area of 4.46 x 106 m2, and an average depth of 2.19 m. The Ta-pon Bay is a shallow and semi-enclosed lagoon. The tidal regime at the Ta-pon Bay inlet is mixed, with diurnal dominance. There is noticeable amount of land-derived freshwater inflow in Ta-pon Bay and the mixing between the sea water and freshwater is largely determined by the tide.
In order to understand the tidal exchange process between Ta-pon Bay and the coastal sea, the observation focused on the physiographic and hydrographic characteristics of this lagoon. The bathymetry of the study area was also surveyed. From the spatial sediment grain-size distribution pattern, the high energy region is at the inlet and the low energy region is in the interior of the lagoon. Our observation results indicate that freshwater outflow from the Kao-ping River was not transported into Ta-pon Bay. Tides are also the dominant cause for the water level fluctuations in the lagoon. In our winter observation, the local wind effects and atmospheric forcing dominated the subtidal sea surface fluctuations. In summer observation, the subtidal variability was strongly influenced by freshwater inflow. In Ta-pon Bay, the spatial salinity distribution was controlled by the flood and ebb tides, and the spatial temperature distribution was controlled by the different seasons.
The tidal prism model can help us understand the tidal exchange between a shallow coastal lagoon and the open sea, and estimate the volume of freshwater inflow, return flow factor, and the turn-over time. Furthermore, we used a one-dimensional model to simulate the hydrodynamics of tidal inlet. The model results show good agreement with observations. We found that the superelevation of the lagoon was 20 cm. This mean sea level difference was caused by freshwater inflow and accumulation of lagoonward tidal transport of water.
