In Sweden there are a number of neighbourhoods with low socioeconomic standards that are mostly inhabited by immigrants, in these areas women are a particularly vulnerable group. Research states that learning the
In light of the pronounced regression in total fertility rates in Spain over the last 40 years and the permanence well below replacement fertility levels up until the present day, this thesis aims to add evidence to the on-going debate about the determinants of reproductive behaviour in this specific country. Given the presence of a significant heterogeneity in the pace of changes in and levels of
Portfolio choice theory have in the last decades seen a rise in utilising more advanced utility functions for finding optimal portfolios. This is partly a consequence of the relatively simplistic nature of the quadratic utility, which is often assumed in the classical mean-variance framework. There have been some suggestions on how to find optimal portfolios in ac- cordance to more realistic utili

Examensarbetet ämnar därmed svara på följande tre frågor: - hur orderprocessen ser ut, vilka problem som kan identifieras i samband med orderprocessen samt vilka förslag på åtg
The ability of thermoresponsive, amine-functionalized microgel particles to take part in microgelmicrogel inter-cross-linking has previously been reported in the literature, in connection to applications such as for example the formation of stimuli-responsive colloidal gels and colloidosomes [1]. This thesis deals with the synthesis of such thermoresponsive, cross-linkable microgels and their subs
Den här uppsatsens syfte är att kritiskt analysera Lag (1970:943) om arbetstid m.m. för husligt anställda – även kallad hushållslagen - ur två perspektiv; dels ett rättshistorisk, dels ett genusrättsligt. Den senaste legostadgan från 1833 var snarare en befolkningspolitisk lagstiftning än en arbetsrättslig sådan. För att undvika belastning på samhället föreskrev den tjänstetvång för alla myndigaThe purpose of this essay is to analyse the Swedish Domestic Work Act (1970:943) from two perspectives; one legal historical and one gender perspective. The latest so-called legostadga from 1833 worked more as legislation for population policy than for labour regulations. In order to avoid putting pressure on society, it forced all citizens who were of age and unable to support themselves to work
The purpose of this study is to examine how offender profiling is being used in Sweden and how investigators working at different police departments perceive it as a method. To get ahold of empirical data I conducted a total of four interviews. To fulfill my purpose I first had to describe the offender profiling in Sweden with help of the interview with a representative for Gärningsmannaprofilgrup
Det övergripande temat för denna uppsats är inriktat mot att reda ut den komplicerade, och i doktrin väl diskuterade, lojalitetsplikten för styrelsen i ett aktiebolag. Lojalitetsplikten är inte uttryckligen lagstadgad i Aktiebolagslagen (2005:551) (ABL), dess existens erkänns dock av en majoritet i doktrin. Diskussionen i doktrin hänvisar både till regler och allmänna rättsprinciper för att bekräfThe general theme of this thesis is directed towards unravelling the complicated, and in doctrine well discussed, duty of loyalty for the board of directors in a corporate company. The duty of loyalty is not explicitly legislated in the Swedish Company Act, however the majority in Swedish doctrine recognizes its exist-ence. The discussion in doctrine refers to rules as well as general principles o
The world around us is urbanising at a faster rate than ever. Today more than 70 per cent of the European population lives in urban areas, especially small and medium-sized cities. Often, cities are the centres of economic growth. In the context of urban pollution and climate change, cities are at the core of European policies due to their ability to be the ‘places’ where solutions and innovations
This work is divided in two parts related to repair and strengthening of engineering structures: the first part deals with the design for strengthening of concrete structures by carbon fiber composites. The work focuses on a design program that had to be corrected before being released on the market according to the following steps: presentation of design rules and materials, development of an own
The immigration politics in Sweden has consisted of two different ideologies during the last century. Until the seventies the immigrants who didn´t return to their home countries were expected to assimilate to the Swedish society, in 1974 the integration model was put into practice. The official reason of the decision was that assimilation was considered immoral and undemocratic. Some researchers
For the fourth year in a row, Poland continues to rank as the lowest country of the European Union on the yearly report on the legal and political situation of queer people in Europe. With constant negative media portrayal of queer communities and homophobic remarks from politicians, Polish queer individuals become antagonized and stigmatized by the society. This thesis aims to explore the less re
International immigration has become one of the greatest concerns in world politics in the last few decades. Due to discrepancy of wealth among different regions of the world, some states have become destinations for immigrants whilst others have become targets of brain drain. The aim of this thesis is to examine how immigration is framed in today's European immigration policy. More specifical

PCDD/Fs and dl-PCBs, or more commonly referred to as dioxin and dioxin like substances are compounds present in our surrounding environment. As some congeners of these have been shown to be toxic, they are regulated under the Stockholm Convention. As dioxins are persistent in biota and have lipophilic properties they are seen accumulating in lipid rich fish in the Baltic, one of the affected speci
Den svenska förmögenhetsrätten bygger till viss del på allmänna principer. En av dessa är den skadelidandes skyldighet att begränsa en uppkommen skada.

One principle of particular interest is the obligation the injured party holds to limit the damage. The questions raised in this paper is if there is a single definition of the principle with a coherent meaning, where and when the principle applies, where and when the rule of apportionment applies and also what function

Inom kärnkraftsverken, läkemedelsindustrin, biotekniklaboratorier mfl är det vanligt att det radioaktiva ämnet 14C förekommer i olika former. Inom kärnkraftsverken som en biprodukt vid elproduktion och inom läkemedelsindustrin används det som markör för att studera hur sunbstansen distribueras i kroppen.

The samples were washed and prepared for 14C anal
During the Middle Ages the poor had a special place in society and were viewed upon as a means for others to reach salvation. This picture changed during the Reformation and poverty was seen both with aversion and suspicion and the Lutheran work ethic was predominant. At this time poverty was not considered to be a social phenomenon, but rather a moral defect, and most poor people were regarded to
En dendrokronologisk undersökning har gjorts på 128 tallar (Pinus sylvestris) från två torvmossar: Viss mosse och Åbuamossen i Skåne, södra Sverige. De delar av torvmossars lagerföljd som innehåller stubbar och stammar bildar stubbhorisonter. En stubbhorisont i en lagerföljd representerar en torrare fas i mossens historia, oftast som ett resultat av hydrologiska variationer orsakade av klimat föräIn total 128 pine samples (Pinus sylvestris) from two raised peat bogs, Viss mosse and Åbuamossen, Skåne, southern Sweden were examined with dendrochronological methodology. The result is a number of floating chronologies, of which the longest cover 570 years. The three most valuable chronologies were 14C-dated to construct dated chronologies. These chronologies are of certain dendrochronological
