More and more people are moving to urban areas, but with this urban growth, there is also an increase in the urban population coping with health problems. This thesis explores the possibilities of restoring mental health through Urban Design. This is done by creating a vision plan for a restorative neighbourhood in Antwerp, named 'Het Eilandje'.

Investor sentiment is an important research object in behavioral finance, and its analysis has been one of the hot topics in stock market research recently. As an abstract concept, investor sentiment needs to be visualized by the construction of the investor sentiment index. In 2006, Baker and Wurgler proposed the Baker & Wurgler (BW) index, which can reflect investor sentiment in the American

Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka vad sjuksköterskor värdesätter mest, trygghet eller flexibilitet. Studien vill även undersöka hur sjuksköterskor förhandlar trygghet och flexibilitet mot riskerna som kan tillkomma med sin anställningsform. Varför väljer vissa sjuksköterskor att jobba inom bemanningsbranschen och vad är det som får andra att stannar kvar inom regionen? Studien baseras på el

Inom den Europeiska unionen har ett samarbete instiftats avseende överlämning av individer som är misstänka för brott eller för verkställighet av ett frihetsberövande straff. Institutet benämns som en europeisk arresteringsorder och har införts för att individer inte ska undgå straff och för att effektivisera överlämningsprocessen. Framställningen granskar kritiskt om svenska domstolar beaktar dThe European Arrest Warrant, EAW, is an instrument for cooperation between the member states of the European Union, regulating the surrender of individuals from one member state to another for criminal prosecution or enforcement of a penal sentence. It’s purposes are to prevent individuals from evading penal sentences or prosecution by using the free movement and to offer a high level of security

Hedersrelaterat våld är för svenskt vidkommande inget nytt. Det råder däremot fortfarande stora svårigheter att få grepp om fenomenet vilket dels beror på frånvaron av en vedertagen definition, dels delade meningar om vad våldet beror på. Gemensamt för de olika förklaringarna är dock att det bottnar i föreställningen om att mannen är överordnad kvinnan. Brott utförda med hedersmotiv omfattas inteHonor-based violence is not a foreign phenomenon in Sweden. Still, there are significant difficulties in understanding it. This is partly due to the lack of a recognized definition and to conflicting opinions regarding how the violence can be explained. Nevertheless, what is common to the various explanations is that the violence stems from the idea of man being superior to woman. In Sweden, crim

In this thesis I seek to understand why a majority of the Afghans that have migrated to Europe during the last decade belong to the Hazara ethnicity. Reports claim that the situation has improved dramatically for the minority since the fall of Taliban in 2001 and there is currently no legal opportunity for refuge on the basis of ethnicity. The common understanding of security as the major driver f

Uppsatsen kommer att undersöka policydokumentet Partnerskapet för rörlighet mellan Marocko, Europeiska Unionen (EU) och EU:s medlemsstater som ingicks 2013. Uppsatsen ämnar att utöka förståelsen för hur Sub-Sahariska migranter i Marocko representeras som ett problem i Partnerskapet för rörlighet av EU och EU:s medlemsstater och vilken innebörd det har för deras möjligheter att migrera till Europa.This essay will analyse the Mobility Partnership policy between Morocco, the European Union (EU) and its Member States that was signed in 2013. The essay is intended at increasing the knowledge for how sub-Saharan migrants in Morocco are represented as a problem in the Mobility Partnership by Morocco, EU and its Member States and which significance it has for their possibilities to migrate to Euro

The purpose of this study was to get a deeper understanding about which arguments the appeal court in Sweden presents to motivate their decision in a custody dispute. The main focus was to explore the differences between the assessment for joint and sole custody. We wanted to learn more about what a parent need to do to keep the joint custody and which behavior could be so ill it could lead to a r

Genomic rearrangements larger than 50 bp are called structural variants. As a group, they affect the phenotypic diversity among humans and have been associated with many human disorders including neurodevelopmental disorder and cancer. Recent advances in whole genome sequencing (WGS) technologies have made it possible to identify many more disease-causing genetic variants relevant in clinical diag

Could the use of CSA practices stabilize the hunger crisis? Despite the general understanding that CSA practices increase farmers' food security, its resilience to climatic shocks is much less understood. To address this gap, this study analyzes the effect of three CSA practices: inorganic fertilization, intercropping and improved seeding on maize productivity in Ethiopia, Tanzania, and Uganda

The current reality is that cities are losing green spaces rather than creating more of them, leading to many urban challenges. Urban nature-based solutions (NbS), through renaturing urban landscapes, are seen as a promising solution to help cities deal with climate change and build a better future for communities worldwide. In Europe, specifically, NbS is also seen as a way of boosting green innov

The maturation of whisky is a long and complex process, the extremely long waiting time causes a large cost for new whisky distilleries, and without sufficient funding, it is hard to start a whisky business. To produce satisfying whisky products within the short term, accelerating the reaction during aging provides a promising approach. Various chemical reactions take place during this stage, this

The spread of invasive alien species poses great risks for biodiversity, human health and economies. Impatiens glandulifera, an invasive alien plant which has been listed in The European list of Invasive Alien Species of Union concern, is widely spread in Sweden. Multiple studies have been made regarding the plant’s characteristics, spread and impacts on invaded areas. The purpose of this study i

I detta examensarbete har en vägdagvattendamm i Lunds nordöstra stadsdel Brunnshög undersökts och modellerats. Syftet med studien var dels att ta fram en metod för att mäta sedimenteringshastigheter hos partiklar i dammen, dels att bygga upp en 3D-modell av dammen och simulera flödet samt fördelningen av suspenderade ämnen för på så sätt försöka avgöra var i dammen det lämpar sig bäst att ta ut va

The unicellular green alga of genus Chlamydomonas are well studied within the fields of photosynthesis and flagellar research. Although many molecular tools have been developed for use on Chlamydomonas, little research has been done on its ecology and population dynamics. Species within the genus are morphologically indistinguishable using light microscopy and as such a molecular method is necessa
