This thesis explores contradictions, inadequacies, and competing formulations within Giovanni Arrighi’s theory of systemic cycles of accumulation (SCAs) as a Kuhnian scientific paradigm. This has been carried out through a comparative study on how the theory has been applied by scholars on the issue of the prospective hegemonic rise of China in the contemporary setting. The study finds that there
Det är en obehaglig realitet att i Sverige döms oskyldiga personer för brott de inte har begått. Statistiskt sett händer det sannolikt mycket sällan men över en tillräcklig lång tidsrymd är det oundvikligt. Detta trots den lagstadgade oskyldighetspresumtionen som ger den som är misstänkt för ett brott rättigheten att betraktas som oskyldig till dess att motsatsen har bevisats. Högsta domstolen hIt is an uncomfortable reality that in Sweden innocent individuals are sentenced for crimes they have not committed. Statistically, it happens most likely very seldom but, given a sufficient length of time, it is unavoidable. The Swedish Supreme Court has in NJA 1980 p. 725 expressed the evidentiary requirements for convictions in criminal cases. The guilt of the accused must be beyond reasonable

With a new model in development they want to increase the safety. This thesis presents the work of developing and implementing a Traction Control System (TCS) for that new model. Previously, a thesis work had been don
Why is it that Finland hasn't produced crime shows and films at the same level as their noridic neighbours? How come it is first now that a finnish crime series is reaching worldwide distribution thanks to Netflix? I take a closer look at Karppi and talks with Rike Jokela, the creator of the show about the term Nordic Noir and why Finland hasn't been producing Noir productions earlier.
E-waste is a growing waste problem around the world, and Sweden is no exception. However, the Swedish WEEE system is having issues combating the problem – particularly when it comes to cellphones.
