In 2015, media reported on new allegations of sexual exploitation and abuse committed by UN peacekeepers against civilians. This was not the first time such allegations were made. Although a number of measures have been taken at the UN level to combat these crimes, the problem persists. The majority of the personnel in UN peacekeeping operations are members of national military contingents, and

Several studies show difficulties that companies have in pursuit of annual growth. The same studies show that companies that succeed are those that focus on innovation and continuous product development. Atlas Copco is one of Sweden’s largest companies and the brand stands for sustainable product development. This examination project has been executed for one its daughter companies, Atlas Copco Co

Popular Abstract in Swedish Att vara kritisk till våra dagars medier är en självklarhet, medan 1800-talets presspionjärer däremot har fått behålla hjältestatusen. I "Pressen i provinsen" tecknas den moderna pressens genombrott dock som en utdragen och långtifrån entydig process. Från att på 1700-talet ha varit arenor där alla hade rätten att delta i det upplysta samtalet, blev tidningarna under böThis study treats ideas of how newspapers should be edited, from the middle of the 18th century to the middle of the 19th century. It deals both with notions of communication and how these were carried out. The empirical focus is on the Swedish province Östergötland and its two main cities, the ecclesiastical, military and administrative Linköping and the mercantile and financially important Norrk

Popular Abstract in Swedish Den nylatinska poeten Jacob Balde (1604 – 1668) behandlar i sin jesuitiska skoltragedi Jepthias Domarbokens berättelse om hur Jepthe på grund av sitt löfte till Gud offrar sin dotter. Genom detta tema åskådliggör Balde jesuitiska dygder som lydnad, förmåga att behärska sina lidelser samt villigheten att offra sitt liv i kampen för tron. Baldes drama är sammanflätat av The German poet Jacob Balde (1604-1668) chose a biblical human sacrifice as subject for his tragedy "Jephtias" intended to be performed at a Jesuit school. Jephthah, the judge, had to sacrifice his own daughter due to a vow given before the war against the Ammonites. Balde uses this topic to exemplify Jesuit virtues such as obedience, ability to handle one's emotions and readiness to sacrifice one

Who can pick a winner? Since 1974, various types of targeted support have at different times been directed at the development of the heat pump market in Sweden – which in the following decades oscillated violently between soaring sales and collapse. Eventually, however, small heat pumps for space heating of residential buildings have in recent years securely established themselves as a mature and

The main ambition of companies is to deliver products (or services) to customers successfully in order to remain competitive. This requires an efficient and effective product development process, as well as cost reductions and higher service levels through improved logistics performance in the supply chain. Traditionally, these two areas, i.e. product development and logistics, have been treated s

Brown C, Hasson H, Thyselius V, Almborg A-H. Post-stroke depression and functional independence: a conundrum. Acta Neurol Scand: DOI: 10.1111/j.1600-0404.2011.01595.x. © 2011 John Wiley & Sons A/S. Objectives - People who suffer a stroke are at risk of developing post-stroke depression (PSD). Not only does this lower their quality of life but it also increases their risk of another stroke or d

The observed lifetimes of gaseous protoplanetary discs place strong constraints on gas and ice giant formation in the core accretion scenario. The approximately 10-Earth-mass solid core responsible for the attraction of the gaseous envelope has to form before gas dissipation in the protoplanetary disc is completed within 1-10 million years. Building up the core by collisions between km-sized plane

In order to examine contemporary Russian cinema, this thesis has two points of departure: firstly the Petersburg myth, which is here defined as reversible or ambiguous since it includes both an eschatological and a cosmogonic aspect; and secondly, the Petersburg literary text as defined in works by Vladimir Toporov. During the twentieth century, the vitality and actuality of the Petersburg myth wa

Popular Abstract in Swedish I denna avhandling undersöker vi vilka anpassningar som behöver göras i designen av matematikkurser när de överförs från en kulturell miljö till en annan. Vi fokuserar på en kurs i beräkningsmatematik som undervisas på Lunds Universitet i Sverige och som vi under studien överförde till Sorans Universitet i Kurdistan/Irak. Projektet har två delar. Den första diskuterar hThis thesis aims to investigate necessary adaptations in the design of a mathematics course when it is transferred from one cultural environment to another. We focus on an elementary course in computational mathematics with Python taught at Lund University, Sweden, and at Soran University, Kurdistan/Iraq. This project holds two main parts. The first part elucidates how the necessary changes in tea

The timing of the ice margin retreat of the Late Glacial Patagonian Ice Sheet (PIS) in southern Patagonia has been the object of discussion for many years. In order to resolve questions about the complex response of the PIS to past climate change, any geological interpretation and data modelling need evaluation against an absolute chronology. The aim of this project is to investigate the applicabi

Today the energy question and the ambitions to reduce energy usage are in focus in both the media and at government level. In Sweden today, newly built houses use little energy for heating. This makes the energy for home appliances more influencial in total. Household owners have a great influence on how the energy within the household is used. In order to minimize electrical consumption, the hous

The Öresund Region, comprising areas of Sweden and Denmark, is involved in a process of sustainable urban transformation. The region has high ambitions in terms of carbon emissions reduction and has set itself steep targets to meet over the next 15-20 years. The energy consumption of buildings accounts for a significant proportion of carbon emissions. With the urban areas of the Öresund Region exp

Child labour is born out of poverty, and it leads to more poverty. Those that work from a young age often have no possibility of going to school, and can only perform manual work as adults, which often pays little. Many children face considerable risks in their place of employment. Some of them suffer from short-term health problems, but others develop cancers and other serious diseases as a resul

In northern Uganda, a war between the Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA) and governmnet troops has raged for more than twenty years. In this conflict, the civilian population has been made a target and subjected to mass scale torture, mutilation and murder. Almost two million people have been forced to flee their homes to reside in government protected camps for Internally Displaced Persons. In these ca

The aim of this essay was to examine how school principals view their own and school’s responsibility when a child is suffering and in what way the principals believe that school can promote a favorable development for a child who is suffering. By thematically open interviews of four school principals at various schools in a southern swedish municipality I examined their view on their own and scho

The Water Framework Directive adopted in December 2000 was to be implemented by the Member States within three years. It requires a holistic approach to be taken towards water resource management and obligates Member States to implement measures that will achieve a general water quality of ''good status'' by 2015. The legal mechanisms required to implement the measures were therefo

INTRODUCTION: Informal carers in paid employment-working carers (WKCs)-have complex support needs. However, little is known about WKCs' pattern of informal care provision, the support they receive, the impact providing care has on their employment, and how these vary between male and female WKCs. This study describes the pattern of informal care provision and received support among Swedish WKCs.RE
