This study focuses on the part of the policy process called implementation. Theorists like Lipsky (1980) and Rice (2012) assign the street-level bureaucrats a major role in this process. The street-level bureaucrats of object in this study are personnel on group homes for unaccompanied minors. Since the children do not have anyone else to look after them, it is the welfare states responsibility to

Arbetet med att uppmuntra allmänheten att skaffa sig en elementär beredskap för att kunna klara av till exempel längre elavbrott eller föroreningar i dricksvatten behöver förbättras på en rad olika punkter, visar ett examensarbete skrivet av Joel Rödström, Lunds Tekniska Högskola. I det moderna samhället förlitar vi oss på att leveranser av el, mat, vatten och värme fungerar. Att vi vant oss vidThe urban human of today is becoming increasingly dependent on different functions of the society to survive, such as electricity and communications, functions which are sensitive to e.g. storms. The on-going climate change is and will further put a pressure on these functions. Concerns have risen that today’s public is limited in its ability to independently deal with the consequences of societal

Popular science ArRiyadh, the capital city of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is one of the fastest growing cities in the world. During the last decade the population of the city has been increased to five million due to heavy migration towards the city. Due to this population pressure, the living conditions in the different neighborhoods of the city are different. The residents in any city are mainly

Sweden has an ambitious plan to fully decarbonise district heating by 2030 and to contribute with negative emissions of greenhouse gases in 2050. The vagaries of the energy market associated with climate, political, and social changes entail cross-sectoral integration that can fulfill these national targets. Fifth-generation district heating and cooling (5GDHC) is a relatively new concept of distr

Context: The global software industry and the software engineering (SE) academia are two large communities. However, unfortunately, the level of joint industry-academia collaborations in SE is still relatively very low, compared to the amount of activity in each of the two communities. It seems that the two ’camps’ show only limited interest/motivation to collaborate with one other. Many researche

Beräkningar med stora matriser är svåra och långsamma att utföra, även för datorer. Med hjälp av en matrisens egenvärden kan man istället arbeta med dess karaktäristiska polynom, där egenvärdena är nollställen. För mycket stora matriser får detta polynom en hög grad och vi skulle vilja approximera det med ett av lägre grad för att förenkla beräkningarna ytterligare. En populär metod för att göra d

he historical legacy of colonialism worldwide has created challenges for Indigenous peoples, including racial discrimination and marginalization. This is reflected in, inter alia, the overrepresentation of Indigenous children in child welfare systems, even in countries performing comparably high in human right advancements otherwise. While there may be a broad spectrum of reasons for this issue, t

Surrogacy is prohibited in many European states. However, such a ban is not global. This can create problems when individuals from states where surrogacy is prohibited travel to other states where it is allowed and become legally recognised parents of children born through surrogacy in the latter states. The implications of cross-border surrogacy come into reality when the intended parents return
