An ongoing discussion in Sweden regards the reduced green areas as a consequence of urbanization and housing shortages. Previous research emphasizes positive effects that nature has to our health. Public outdoor environments such as playgrounds or parks are the basis of children's play in their neighborhood. To plan and create good environ-ments, for children to grow up in, is therefore necess
The study looked at a group of young men convicted of violent crimes and had a particular focus on Conduct disorder (CD) as well as differences in background and treatment interventions (therapy or medication) depending on whether the person had early, late or no CD. The aim was to identify how these treatment measures differed between the groups early, late and no CD. Data to the current study ca
The purpose of this paper was to research how environmental concerns and sustainable thinking could be integrated into the design process of Electrolux, a Swedish home appliance manufacturer. The research will hopefully help the Electrolux industrial design department improve in the area and prove as a good case study for other companies or academic institutions. Electrolux conducts much research
Syftet med studien var att få en större inblick i vad sjuksköterskestudenter anser vara attraktiva egenskaper på en arbetsplats och vad de har för upplevelse av Region Skåne. Motivationen kom från den rådande sjuksköterskebristen. En enkätstudie, baserad på Åteg et als. modell om attraktivt arbete (2004) utfördes. Respondenterna har besvarat dels hur viktiga dessa items är för en arbetsplats attra
This thesis evaluates the potential for machine guidance in winter road maintenance. The proposed benefits would be a reduction in material- or time needs. It should also reduce accidents with benefits for both property damages and personal injuries. The work methods and organisational structure of winter road maintenance is described through literature studies and interviews. The interviews are d
The phase field method emerged as a tool to solve free boundary problems with a sharp interface. In previous methods, this involved the computationally inefficient and complicated tracking of a moving interface. The phase field method overcomes this limitation by introducing an auxiliary variable called the order parameter which varies continuously over the whole domain and takes on finite values
The main purpose of this paper is to find if there are any differences between the two Scandinavian countries Sweden and Denmark in help institutions for women in prostitution. Buying sexual services has been illegal in Sweden since 1999. There are no similar regulations in Denmark. By employing a comparative study method, information from the two countries have been broken down through content a
Nyckelord: Skandal, ursäkt, ansvar, kundförtroende, åtgärd Syfte: Denna uppsats vill skapa en bättre förståelse för hur företag bör uttrycka sig i media efter en skandal, för att bättre möta det som konsumenterna efterfrågar av dessa uttalanden. Syftet med denna uppsats är därmed att hjälpa företag att förbättra sina uttalanden vid skandaler och därmed lyckas bättre med sin krishantering. Metod:
Despite the increased focus on sustainable urban development both within academia and in urban planning practices, authors seem to agree that we are mostly continuing business as usual and are not embarking on different socio-environmental trajectories. On the contrary, such urban sustainability practices can often lead to processes of displacement and gentrification, thus worsening the conditions
This master thesis study is a preliminary investigation of the Säveån River as part of the Swedish Geotechnical Institute’s (SGI) landslide risk assessment project. The main objectives include building a hydrodynamic model for the river, estimating sediment transport along the river, assessing the implications for erosion and bank stability and evaluating climate change effects on sediment transpo
Trots att tydlig praxis från EU-domstolen och stadganden i svensk lag sedan länge fastslår möjligheten till skadestånd för privata aktörer vid konkurrensrättsliga överträdelser har skadeståndsbestämmelserna inte fått något större genomslag i Europa. Situationen ser annorlunda ut i det amerikanska rättssystemet där private actions är betydligt vanligare, då den amerikanska antitrusträtten möjliggör
När man jobbar med stora pogrammeringsprojekt är ett av de stora problemen att skriva koden så den går att underhålla. Skriver man kod som är lätt att underhålla är det också enklare att göra tillägg, ändringar och åtgärda problem. I detta projekt har två stora, liknande projekt undersökts för hitta likheter i koden. Om likheterna kan sammanföras till en generisk lösning kommer koden att vara lätWhen working with large programming projects, one of the major problems is to write the code so it can be maintained. If you write code that is easy to maintain it is also easier to extend, change and fix bugs in the code. In this project two large, similar projects were investigated to find similarities in the code. If the similarities could be brought together in a generic solution, the code wo
The purpose of this study was to examine and analyze the domestic violence shelters workers experience of collaboration with social service and how this influence theirs legitimacy. The study was based on qualitative semi-structured interviews with three shelters workers and three social workers on social service. This study was done in southern Sweden. The theoretical approach being used was: new
Recent research has been done with fungal hyphae growing in mazes or hyphae growing under the influence of a gradient. This research could give new knowledge on how fungi grow in relation to its surroundings. As fungi are important for biological decomposing, human agriculture, medicine and many other areas, this has inspired us to study hyphal growth inside a maze simultaneously under the influen
The future begins at school – municipal differences regarding education for under-aged EU migrants. The number of exposed EU-migrants in Sweden is growing, and so is the number of under-aged EU-migrants who are travelling with their parents. Many of these belong to the Roma minority in countries such as Bulgaria and Romania. The aim of this study is to examine municipal differences in offering ed
Molecular imaging techniques have become an essential tool for cancer diagnosis. They have the potential to detect cancer at early stages and thus, they can change the outcome of the disease and patient prognosis. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has arisen as one of the most promising imaging methods used for the screening of soft tumor tissues such as breast cancer. However, the specificity of M
Vindkraftens utbyggnad kommer leda till att det i framtiden kommer ställas högre krav på nedstyrning av den aktiva effekten i vindkraftsanläggningar. Denna rapport tar upp hur elproduktionen påverkas vid nedstyrning. Det är inte alltid självklart hur en anläggning påverkas då det är faktorer som turbinlayout, vindriktning och vindhastighet som spelar in. För att kunna modellera nedreglering av deThe expansion of wind power will lead to higher demands on downward regulation of active power in wind power plants. This report treats how the production of electricity is affected by downward regulation. It is not trivial how a wind power plant reacts since factors like turbine layout, wind direction and wind speed have an impact. To be able to model downward regulation of the active power the w
Guided waves have a signicant potential for Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) and Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) due to their relatively long distance of propagation and sensitivity to discontinuities along the propagation path, anywhere through the material thickness. The inability to model wave guides of arbitrary cross-section using current matrix methods, has led to the development of a techni
Skolan har ingen lång tradition av att arbeta laborativt i matematik och dynamisk programvara är ett sätt att fylla denna brist. Dynamisk programvara låter eleven gå i dialog, utmanar, skapar nyfikenhet, åskådliggör begrepp och underlättar inlärningen. Det krävs emellertid att lärare är villiga att sätta sig in i de relativt nya möjligheterna eftersom datoranvändning i matematik- och fysikundervisReportedly in Swedish schools, there is no long tradition of investigative and laboratory work in the mathematics subject. Dynamic software is a term which encapsulates the purpose of software as a pedagogical instrument in teaching. There is great potential in this but also a need for teachers to engage and apply themselves to the new possibilities. Computer software in class does not automatical
