A comparative study was performed to investigate which of some selected factors that could affect the outcome of the work made in four Swedish municipalities to provide housing for refugees. The chosen municipalities figure as two bad and two good examples. Data was gathered directly via the municipalities, from news articles, and from various Swedish authorities (e.g. Swedish Migration Agency, St

The principle of ne bis in idem, enshrined both in the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union and in the European Convention on Human Rights, has been the object of an extensive body of case law. Therefore, the question this thesis seeks to answer is: ‘what is the current status of the principle of ne bis in idem under EU tax law?’ After the development of a high level of protection r

Sexuellt samtycke har diskuterats under många år. Den första juli 2018 trädde den s.k. samtyckeslagstiftningen i kraft. Uppsatsen behandlar denna lagstiftning och vad den kan göra för skillnad i sexualbrottsmål där uppsåt inte kunnat påvisas. Fokus riktas mot relationer där dominans och undergivenhet är en livsstil, eller åtminstone ett inslag. Rättsfall redovisas och analyseras och därefter görs Sexual consent has been discussed for many years. On July 1, 2018, the so-called ”consent law” was introduced into Swedish law. The essay deals with this legislation and how it can make a difference in sexual offense cases where intentions have not been proven. The focus is on relationships where dominance and submissiveness is a lifestyle, or at least one element. Cases will be reported and analy

The objective of this study was to assess the influence of user behaviour on the Smart Grid performance and to identify possible interfaces between end-users and the energy network. In order to get an image of the electricity customers attitude to Smart Grids and energy-efficiency, a questionnaire was conducted as a first step. Afterwards, a combination of thermal building simulations and the deri

Den här uppsatsen kommer fördjupa sig i hur den amerikanska lobbyistorganisationen National Rifle Association framställer frågan om striktare vapenreglering i den amerikanska debatten om vapenreglering. Tidigare forskning har visat att organisationen har mål och medel att i hög grad påverka nationens författning utefter deras egna åsikter. Detta gör det intressant att undersöka hur organisationen,

To make not only scholarly publications but also the data underlying those publications openly accessible is part of the movement for Open Science. There are several arguments for sharing research data, for example to promote science and collaboration, to make validation of results possible and to reduce redundant data production (Callaghan et al. 2012; Tenopir et al. 2011). Open Data policies are

This study examines the way Danish museums can be used as a platform for cultural integration of refugees and immigrants. Museums in Denmark have the last couple of years started to take part in integration of refugees, especially when it concerns cultural integration. There is no doubt that there is a demand for this type of integration and that museums are the obvious institutions to help with

Enligt det internationella samfundet är kvinnlig könsstympning ett brott mot mänskliga rättigheter. Det är ett uttryck för ojämlikhet mellan könen som är djupt rotat i sociala, ekonomiska och politiska strukturer, samt att det representerar samhällets kontroll över kvinnor. Jag utförde en kritisk diskursanalytisk undersökning på United Nations Populations Fund UNFPA:s rapport: Eliminating Female G

Demographic transitions are something that every country goes through, however do countries do it at different times. The Western world and Japan are today facing aging populations, developing countries of Africa are still facing high mortality, high fertility rates and booming populations while countries of South Asia and South America are somewhere in between. The demographic diffusion sets up a

This thesis presents an analysis over current opinions towards the Swedish system of contract archaeology. The opinions were gathered through an online poll from the three main actors of the system: Developers, the County Administrative Board and Contract Archaeologists. The thesis came to be as a response to the various and often negative comments and attitudes towards the system shown in mass me

Denna studie undersöker migrationsdebatter i Europaparlamentet med anledning av den flyktingkris som skedde hösten 2015 och effekten av främlingsfientlighet som vuxit därefter. Över en miljon asylsökande flyktingar sökte sig till Europa för ett bättre liv och ingen kunde förutsett den förhöjda volymen av flyktingar som kom. Däremot visade den akuta situationen på brister i asylsystemet som den EurThis study examines the migration debates in the European Parliament in view of the refugee crisis that occurred in the fall of 2015 and the effect of xenophobia that grew thereafter. Over one million refugees sought Europe for a better life in 2015 and no one could predict the increased volume of refugees who came. On the other hand, the acute situation showed flaws in the asylum system that the

Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka hur kampanjen mot kung Leopold av Belgiens mandat över kolonin Kongo. Genom att undersöka Edmund D. Morels argumentation i boken Red Rubber försöker jag visa på hur författaren valt att lägga upp sin argumentation, vilket gjordes genom en retorikanalys. Denna retorikanalys utgick från Thomas Laqueurs teori om en språklig förändring i beskrivningen av kroppen,

A good head of beer gives nice texture and prevents releasing of aroma. The beer foam stability depends on numerous parameters. In this study, it was focused on the interfacial rheological properties such as surface tension and dilational modulus in relation the film formation by isohumulones and beer proteins at the air-water interfaces. The isohumulones and beer protein samples were prepared indWhat makes beer foam stable? Beer is one of the most beloved beverages all over the world. When we think about a good beer, we end up with beer foam. This is because the foam prevents releasing of aroma and gives a good texture when drinking. Beer foam is a mixture of air and liquid containing beer components such as ethanol, proteins, hop acids and other nutrients. Beer proteins are from the bar

Since the 1950’s, a wide range of titanium alloys has been developed. Attractive titanium properties are the high strength-to-weight ratio, resistance towards corrosion, low thermal conductivity and low thermal expansion. Properties that make titanium alloys difficult-to-machine materials are those of low thermal conductivity, chemical reactiveness and the high strength, requiring low cutting data

Based on fieldwork interviews from two different trade unions in Luanda, this study aims to reflect on the role of civil society for the consolidation of democracy in Angola, and in particular, the challenges of trade unionism and its effects on democracy. Using the meth-od of inductive reasoning to process data, it first addresses themes derived from the inter-views such as Financial struggles, T

Denna syftar till att undersöka de argument som Obama-administrationen uttryckte angående ett amerikanskt militärt ingripande i Syrien till följd av de syriska regimens användning av kemiska vapen år 2013. Under sitt presidentskap uppgav Obama att USA drar en "röd linje" vid användade av kemiska vapen mot civila, men hotet visade sig vara tomt ett år senare när tusentals människor dödadeThis paper aims to examine the arguments proposed by the Obama administration regarding a U.S. military intervention in Syria due to the use of chemical weapons by the Syrian regime in 2013. During his presidency, Obama stated that the He draws a ‘red line’ at the use of chemical weapons against civilians, but the threat proved to be empty a year later when thousands of people were killed in a che

The current debate concerning land acquisition for commercial agriculture is whether it can contribute to poverty reduction by developing communities through successful agribusiness, or whether it leads to dispossession of traditional land users. Thus, this research is a case study of the African Agricultural Development Company (AgDevCo) and their irrigated farming hub in Babator, Ghana. It will

Vi lever i spännande tider brukar det heta. Det är ett slitet uttryck, men kanske mer sant än någonsin och Alexander Bard och Jan Söderqvist försöker i sin Futurica-trilogi visa att det inte bara är vår fysiska omgivning som är på väg att helt ändra skepnad – även hela vår världssyn och metafysiska system står i begrepp att kollapsa och ersättas av något nytt. Sant eller inte står det i varje fall
