I den här uppsatsen undersöks aktivisternas och volontärernas situation i deras arbete med flyktingarna under flyktingkrisen 2015 i Sverige. Genom att använda etnografiska metoder, i synnerhet kvalitativa intervjuer med individer engagerade i att hjälpa flyktingarna, argumenterar jag för att olika aktivistgrupper, trots att de har samma mål, uppvisar ett konkurrerande beteende. Genom en intersektiThis thesis investigates the situation of the activists and volunteers working with refugees in the context of the 2015 refugee crisis in Sweden. By employing ethnographic methods, especially qualitative interviews with the individuals engaged in helping the refugees, I argue that different activist groups having the same aim are exhibiting a competitive behavior. I illustrate that the role of ac

It is of importance for manufacturing companies to get an overview of costs associated with production. This thesis handles this subject with an emphasis on chosen cutting data as well as chosen tools since this has a large impact of the tooling cost. By modelling on cutting data available from tool manufacturers, cutting data can be implemented to test different cases in the production. This also

The accumulated review data for a single product on Amazon.com could po- tentially take several weeks to examine manually. Computationally extracting the essence of a document is a substantial task, which has been explored pre- viously through many different approaches. We explore how statistical predic- tion can be used to perform dynamic relation extraction. Using patterns in the syntactic str

The textile and garment industry is one of Cambodia’s economic ‘growth pillars’ and it plays a key role in the country’s economic development. Foreign enterprises contract Cambodian factories to manufacture goods, which will then be sold worldwide. International buyers include H&M, GAP, Marks & Spencer, Levi’s, Adidas and Inditex. The demands required to suppliers are challenging and there

As cities expand and climate change effects become more intense and frequent, local governance has gained increased attention as capable of implementing the necessary measures for sustainability. One city in Brazil, Jundiaí, has managed to integrate participatory processes in its local planning and has become an example for other cities in Brazil. This city lies between a water reserve and a biolo

In rural Tanzania, customary laws and practices have for over 50 years been the major constraints of women’s land rights and livelihood. According to customs, a man has inherent powers to own and control land, and he is considered to be the rightful heir of such resource, and a woman is not. In most cases, women get to experience such disposition in matters of inheritance, succession, and division

This paper tests if structural reforms in the presence of fiscal adjustments have growth enhancing effects. We do this by using two well established measures from the previous literature to identify periods of fiscal adjustments. These measures are the outcome based and the action based approach. As a proxy for structural reforms this paper relies on changes in institutional quality measured by th

Previous studies have shown that increased incorporation of odd chain saturated fatty acids (OCFAs) into plasma phospholipids is associated with a lower future risk of developing type 2 diabetes and that decreased levels of OCFAs are linked to increased insulin resistance. Since the β-cell plays a pivotal role in the progression of type 2 diabetes it is of interest to investigate if elevated level

Elonroad is a company that is looking into the possibility to charge electric vehicle on road. The conductor implemented on the driveway has a characteristic shape. The scope of this master thesis project is to identify the shape of the conductor and determine the relative position of the vehicle to the conductor using ultrasonic sensors. The goal is to have an update frequency of 30 Hz and a posi

The integration of small computer units in vehicles has made more complex in-vehicle functionality possible. To troubleshoot these more advanced functions, the diagnostic services need to read out more data from the integrated computer units, causing an increased network load. This has caused a demand on more efficient ways of performing vehicle diagnostics. One possible way to decrease the netwo

Diagnoser är kategorier som konstrueras, kommuniceras och upplevs inom en specifik social och kulturell kontext. Individer ställs innanför dessa kategorier genom ett klassificeringssystem som är hegemoniskt. De som passar in i kategorierna tillskrivs egenskaper som kan resultera i skapandet av ett subjekt som inte är förenlig med den normativa synen på vad en människa är. Det här är en uppsats som

Bakgrund: Varje år inkommer cirka 8 200 personer till sjukvården efter ett suicidförsök i Sverige. För att kunna ge bäst lämpad vård och behandling är det viktigt att sjuksköterskan som möter patienten har den handlingsberedskap som krävs för ett gott omhändertagande. Många sjuksköterskor på medicinska akutmottagningar och somatiska vårdavdelningar uppger att de har en bristande kunskap om suicida

This project is about creating a concept for a historical museum for the swedish furniture company Gemla AB. It will be a permanent exhibition located in connection to their factory. The reason Gemla wants to put up this museum is to give clients, students or the interested public a deeper understanding of the company and their history. My work will beto gather the parts in history that I think Ge

Carbon offsetting is one strategy to tackle global climate change and decrease the level of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. However, the strategy is debated and concerns are raised regarding negative impacts on the surrounding environment and biodiversity, the effectiveness and the morality of “buying the right to pollute”. The aim of this paper is to examine if ecological aspects are consider

In the past few decades Japan has experienced changes in its marital institution. Japanese men and women have started to postpone marriage and childbearing or remain unmarried, and the number of divorces have increased. Exactly the changes in marriage trends have been the point of departure of this study. The purpose of this study was to focus attention on Japanese marriage. Specifically, this the

Hot och våld förekommer ofta inom de särskilda ungdomshemmen och behandlingsassistenterna som arbetar närmast de unga, är de som är mest utsatta för hot och våld. Att arbeta i en miljö där risken för att utsättas för hot och hot om våld utgör en väsentlig arbetsmiljörisk och medför även stora påfrestningar för personalen. De teorier som tillämpats är Libskys (1980) teori om gräsrotsbyråkratin, Go
