Integration of immigrants has become a crucial policy-question in Sweden and Western Europe due to the large numbers of immigrants having settled during the last three decades. Previous research has focused on integration policy outcome by studying the design of different policies and programs. This study addresses the question of how the Somali refugees, which are being better integrated in other
Due to rapid urbanization and globalization in last decades, we face many serious problems. One of them is depopulation, a less discussed consequence of urbanization. Besides depopulation, a town called Abertamy copes with its complicated history and lost relationship to the landscape. In my thesis, I was searching for potential answers to today’s burning question: How to boost life in the countr
Enligt den amerikanska forskaren Richard Florida är det idag kreativitet och initiativkraft som driver ekonomin och utvecklingen framåt. Det samhälle som lyckas bäst är det som bäst tar vara på befolkningens kreativa potential och som mest framgångsrikt lockar till sig kreativa individer. Genom att analysera vilket samband som finns mellan Skånes kommuners satsningar på kultur & fritid och fasThe study aims to see if there is an impact of culture & leisure on property prices. To determine if there is a correlation method of regression analysis is used. The analysis is applied on two models, which will be called: Kommunmodellen and Staffanstorpsmodellen. Kommunmodellen consists of variables that explain property prices at a municipal level such as number of citizens, taxes, employme
The purpose of this paper is to study the arguments, reasoning and security analysis made by government actors that resulted in the different and contradictory development trajectories for the civil defense and population protection policies in Sweden and Finland during the last decades. During the period leading up to the full- scale Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022, Finland has adequately pre
During the last 20 years, the number of minority governments in Swedish municipalities have increased dramatically. Simultaneously, the Swedish Democrats have gained an increasing share of municipal voter support. With the help of Down’s theory of political isolation of right-wing populist parties, the aim of this thesis is to statistically analyse the correlation between the rise in municipal vot
The aim of this study was to examine how treatment staff considered the issue of seclusions of young people in institutional care. We also wanted to know how the treatment staff looked at their role and how they thought that the youth perceived seclusion/isolation. We were also interested in how the staff group cooperated in the seclusions and how they thought that a possible ban would affect thei
Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka den sociala omgivningens betydelse för människor som går i psykoterapi. Semistrukturerade intervjuer genomfördes med sex personer som hade gått i psykoterapi för mindre än ett år sedan. Intervjumaterialet analyserades genom Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) och detta resulterade i fem huvudteman: Välja ansikte utåt, Öppenhetens pris, Vara nära The aim of the present study is to deepen the understanding of how people, who undergo psychotherapy, perceive the importance of their social environment. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with six individuals who have undergone psychotherapy within the last year. The transcripts were analyzed with Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA), which resulted in five main themes: Choose f
Irrigation is the largest sector of human water use and an important option for increasing crop production and reducing drought impacts. However, the potential for irrigation to contribute to global crop yields remains uncertain. Here, we quantify this contribution for wheat and maize at global scale by developing a Bayesian framework integrating empirical estimates and gridded global crop models
Decentralized anaerobic digestion (AD) of manure and organic residues is a possible strategy to improve carbon and nutrient cycling within agricultural regions, meanwhile generating renewable energy. To date, there has been limited adoption of decentralized AD technology in industrialized countries owing to low profitability for plant operators. There remains a need to demonstrate the wider sustai
We present evidence of a submerged early Holocene landscape off the Blekinge coastline in the Baltic Sea, dating to the Yoldia Sea and Initial Littorina Sea Stages when the water level was lower than at present. 14C dated wood remains obtained by surveillance diving and new archaeological findings in combination with bathymetric analyses and interpolations between other sites across the Baltic Sea
With growing urbanisation the sustainability of cities has become increasingly important. Although cities have been using indicators for a long time it is only in the last decades that attempts have been made to collate indicators into sets that reflect the many different aspects required to assess the sustainability of a city. The aim of this paper is to review the evolution of indicators for mon
We propose and analyze a microwave spin-photon interface based on a circular double quantum dot, inspired by recent experimental observations of anisotropic g-factors and orbital ring states in InAs nanowires. We develop an effective theoretical model, capturing the interplay of spin-orbit coupling and the magnetic flux, and show how ring states form at crossings of odd and even geometric parity o
Abstract Today it is very common that some person register a domain name that is identical or confusingly similar to a hallmark that is someone’s protected property. From the owners opinion this can result in a lost of company’s goodwill and there is risk that hallmark becomes powerless. Every physical and legal person can register someone’s protected hallmark as a domain name under top – level do
The rise in prevalence and severity of obesity and related diseases imposes increasing costs on society. The objective of this thesis is to discuss and estimate the possible effects of a so-called fat tax as a tool for minimizing these costs. Two alternatives for differentiation of the value-added tax (VAT) on food are compared. The first alternative is an increase of the VAT levied on food contai
Shells of Arctica islandica collected between 1884 and 2004 from A-resund, Kattegat and Skagerrak (Swedish West Coast) were used to monitor local climate variations and the influence of human activities on the local environment. For this purpose, we analysed the growth, structure and chemical composition of these shells and compared them with shells collected from Kiel Bay, Norway and Iceland. The
Background The mechanism underlying the association between urban birth/upbringing and increased schizophrenia risk is unknown. This study explored whether an urban effect might be present in a low-income country setting, where the 'urban' environment may have radically different components, for example urban architecture, pollution levels or social cohesion. Aims To investigate the potential asso
Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingen är en tematisk och historisk studie av Sjömans filmer och av hans betydelse för svensk filmkultur, framför allt under 1960- och 1970-talen. Sjöman är mest känd som filmregissör. År 1962 hyllades debutfilmen Älskarinnan av kritikerna. Sjöman sågs som föregångare till en ny våg i svensk film. Genom debatten efter filmcensurens totalförbud av 491 (1964) kom SjThis thesis is a thematic and historical analysis of of Sjöman’s œuvre and its significance for Swedish film culture, focussing on his most important films during the 1960s and 1970s. Sjöman started as a novelist in the late 1940s, and has since then accomplished an œuvre consisting of some 60 works, mostly novels, plays, essays, and films. Sjöman is best known as a film director. In 1962, Sjöman’
