The increase in crime is a high-profile problem area within the criminal policy debate in Sweden. Most political parties present stricter penalties as a possible solution. It is regulated by Swedish law how inmates shall, during their imprisonment, receive support in order to successfully reintegrate into society upon their release. This is in order to not relapse into crime. At the same time, for
Popular Abstract in English The catalytic and electrochemical properties of tryptophan repressor-binding protein (WrbA), pyranose dehydrogenase (PDH), cellobiose dehydrogenase (CDH) and glucose dehydrogenase (GDH) on carbon electrodes were investigated using cyclic voltammetry and flow injection amperometry to construct biosensors and biofuel cell (BFC) anodes. WrbA has a catalytic FMN-containing The catalytic and electrochemical properties of tryptophan repressor-binding protein (WrbA), pyranose dehydrogenase (PDH), cellobiose dehydrogenase (CDH) and glucose dehydrogenase (GDH) on carbon electrodes were investigated using cyclic voltammetry and flow injection amperometry to construct biosensors and biofuel cell (BFC) anodes. WrbA has a catalytic FMN-containing domain whereas both PDH and
Successful innovation strategy relies on experience gained from a complexity of understanding, anticipating and managing the global business environment. But, although much research has examined strategies of private sector organizations in Western economies, there are relatively few studies of innovation in public sector organizations of transitional and protected economic environments, such as I
Irish peat soils are extensive, covering approximately 14-20% of the national land area. They contain between 53% and 62% of the national soil organic carbon stock. Montane blanket bog covers approximately 25% or 242650ha of the total peatland area in Ireland and is the dominant peatland type covering the upland area of Wicklow. Blanket bogs are very sensitive systems and have experienced much dis
Parasites may influence the outcome of interspecific competition between closely related host species through lower parasite virulence in the host with which they share the longer evolutionary history. We tested this idea by comparing the prevalence of avian malaria (Haemosporidia) lineages and their association with survival in pied and collared flycatchers (Ficedula hypoleuca and F. albicollis)
Looking at the Swedish public sector from a Scandinavian perspective, this chapter argues for a challenged but resilient (although not uniform) Scandi- navian public sector. Sweden is a nation with a long tradition of decentral- ized decision-making, semi-autonomous government agencies and independent local governments. This is considered a receptive context for continuous and incremental moderniz
Co-occurrence of closely related species can cause behavioral interference in mating and increase hybridization risk. Theoretically, this could lead to the evolution of more species-specific mate preferences and sexual signaling traits. Alternatively, females can learn to reject heterospecific males, to avoid male sexual interference from closely related species. Such learned mate discrimination c
Purpose: To explore how parents of children with cerebral palsy (CP) experience their child’s participation in physical activities and to identify facilitators and barriers for being physically active and reducing sedentary behaviour. Methods: Twenty-five parents of sixteen children, aged 8–11 years old with CP, with varying gross motor, cognitive and communicative functions and with different cul
Background: Long waiting times have been a significant problem in theSwedish health care system. A lack of matching of pathways of care has ledto long waiting times for patients, increasing medical risk and contributingtowards less effective capacity utilisation. There are different pathways into theelective healthcare system in Sweden, some via referral from a physician andothers via referral wri
When designing innovations for the silver age, it is not sufficient to discover old people’s needs only. In addition, one also has to discover old peoples’ new roles as consumers, citizens and innovators. Since this is a group that until recently has been given few opportunities to make their voices heard, there is a need for methods that identify their needs and demands. More importantly, we need
Problematic school absenteeism is currently a complex and increasing challenge in society. The purpose of this thesis is to investigate how school teachers experience problematic absenteeism how they have worked to promote school attendance in children and youths and how they’ve reintegrated them into school after being absent. This thesis will also investigate different actors' perspectives,
The establishment of Northvolt's megafactory in Skellefteå has led to an influx of thousands of foreign workers and a unique transformation of the local community. This study explores how local public officials perceive challenges and opportunities through the lens of social sustainability. Four semi-structured interviews reveal that the public officials tell of a fast-paced transformation and
As the competition has escalated within the tourism industry, it has become more crucial for the destination marketing organizations to create a positive and outstanding image in tourists’ minds. Yet, the increasing popularity of user-generated contents, and social interactions between various agents on digital platforms have added a different dimension to the destination image formation.Therefore

In addition to this the aim was to examine how social workers and officials wo
In the recent decades, one of the most phenomenal changes in many universities in Western countries is the dramatically increase of students from China. Subsequently, the thesis author mentioned that general view concerning educational tourism associates educational tourists with the international students’ mobility. This has emerged as an important part of the university students’tourism market.
Purpose: This research aims to gain an understanding on how consultants in small consultancies, who also hold internal human resource responsibilities, promote their organisation in employee and employer branding. Relevance: Due to the ambiguous consultancy profession and the high potential for individual influences on the corporate brand, branding becomes a very germane topic in our particular r
Foster placements are the most common form of placement for children and every year about 20,000 girls and boys are placed. Although we expect that society treats women and men equally, they are often treated differently based on stereotypical gender norms. The aim of this study was to examine how gender is constructed in women's and men's stories about their time in foster care, in matter
Arbetsmiljöverket (2015) uppmärksammar i sin rapport problematik gällande bland annat återhämtning och att ständigt vara tillgänglig. Denna studie ämnade att undersöka om intern återhämtning kunde predicera arbetstillfredsställelse, för individer inom sälj- och serviceyrken. Vi undersökte också upplevelsen till möjligheter till intern återhämtning. En mixad metod användes och 130 stycken individer
Hedersproblematiken är ett uttryck för våld och kränkningar som grundar sig i ett patriarkalt och kollektivistiskt förtryck. Genom en föreställning om skyddet för familjens heder begränsas främst flickors fri- och rättigheter genom normer tätt knutna till föreställningar om flickors sexualitet. Då denna problematik relativt nyligen uppmärksammats i det svenska rättsväsendet brister den offentliga Honor-based violence is a patriarchal and collectivist oppression aimed mostly at girls, whose freedoms are circumscribed in accordance to strict sexual norms to protect the family´s honor. Since this has only relatively recently received the attention of the Swedish judicial system, welfare state institutions are ill equipped to understand these girls´ experiences and needs. One particularly recu
This study has aimed to understand the experiences of the Turkish women who share their knitting videos on YouTube through using the virtual ethnography conducted. The participant women mostly describe themselves as a “housewife” and/or specify their roles through association with domestic tasks, which is related to the position of assigned to many women by Turkish society. Most of them were born
