The purpose of this study is to analyze how Afghan evacuees have been constructed as belonging in Korea and what impacts might their status as ‘special contributors’ have for the future resettlement and integration of refugees. ‘Special contributor’ is a term used for the Afghan personnel and their families that worked with Korean governmental agencies in Afghanistan, and were evacuated upon the T
Chinese preparatory education is a specialized higher education programme for students from ethnic minorities. Minorities in remote areas are eligible for a preferential education policy that permits entry into universities as "ethnic minority preparatory students " (少数民族预科学生). At school, these ethnic students encounter not only the challenge of their role as preparatory students but als
Den agrara revolutionen innebar flera stora förändringar, både inom jordbruket men även för samhället i sin helhet. Genom nya odlingstekniker, grödor och redskap kom jordbruks-strukturerna att förändras. Storgodsen gick från feodala jordbrukssystem till kapitalistiska med betald arbetskraft. Vilket i sin tur innebar en stor social förändring vid godsen och deras underliggande enheter. En stor del
Greening projects are becoming increasingly popular as part of urban transitions towards sustainable cities. Many academic studies have shown that under certain conditions these projects do not address or even execrate existing socio-spatial inequalities. This research attempts to explore the narrative on UGI and environmental justice in academic literature and in the practitioner narrative at mun
In light of remaining high levels of deforestation, the importance of effective collaboration with Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities increasingly receives international attention. This qualitative case study aims to understand how the foundation for a just collaboration can look like by taking the example of one of the most widely discussed financing mechanisms, REDD+. Focusing on the Talam
Syftet med studien är att skapa en djupare och nyanserad förståelse över hur lyxiga varumärken med hållbarhetsprofil arbetar för att främja “slow fashion” och hållbar konsumtion i butik och “online”. Det teoretiska ramverket utgår från teorier om “slow fashion”, kommunikation, atmosfär och certifieringar/skyltar. “Slow fashion” har valts ut då det blivit allt mer trendigt att producera en tidlös s
I vårt samhälle används idag tekniker för att kunna göra flera vardagliga funktioner. Det finns dock risker med detta då det kan ge tillgång till mycket känslig information. ID-kapning är en risk som innebär att din identitet används av obehöriga på ett olagligt sätt och detta kan ske via social engineering attacker. Syftet med arbetet är att undersöka svenska internetanvändarna medvetenhet till I
Sammanfattning Titel: Samverkansstyrning i Safegrowthnätverket - En kvalitativ studie om samarbetsprocesser ur ett nätverksperspektiv. Syfte: Syftet med studien är att bidra med kunskap om hur kommuner kan utveckla och stärka de brottsförebyggande arbetet genom ett närmare samarbete med lokala invånare. Teoretiskt perspektiv: Studiens teoretiska ramverk har valts ut för att besvara studiens fr
Inside the Swedish National Board of Institutional Care (SNBIC) are juveniles who are receiving treatment from pedagogues and assistants that are frequently threatening their caregivers. The threats consist of physical and verbal behavior. This type of working environment can be very bad for one's well being. The study focuses on investigating how the staff's well-being is affected by work
Coloniality persistently prevails in the many aspects of today’s societies, including identity constructions. However, the role of the Nordic region in colonialism and its continuous consequences has been severely downplayed, if not ignored, not least in connection to Finland. Thus, this research explores the visibilities of coloniality in social identity constructions in the context of Finland. A
It is a common experience among children to witness domestic violence, but how much does it affect the child later on in life? The purpose of this paper is to present what happens to the child mentally and physically when domestic violence against women results in the death of a mother and the imprisonment of a father. The paper also presents ways to minimize the impact the event has on the child.
Teachers are among the professions with the highest stress related disorders, leading many teachers to leave the field. Therefore, it is of great importance to understand teachers’ intention to leave. This was done using the Job Demands-Resources model (JD-R model) investigating the combined impact of Job Demands and Resources on teachers’ Intention to Leave the field. The aim of this study was to
Purpose/Background Proton beam scanning (PBS) for mediastinal Hodgkin's Lymphoma (HL) is limited when treating in free-breathing (FB) due to breathing motion in the thoracic region. Tumour motion and the time structure of the beam delivery will cause interplay and dose blurring effects, resulting in discrepancies of dose in the planned dose distribution both inside and at the edges of tumour v
Background: Total marrow irradiation (TMI) with helical tomotherapy treatment (HT-TMI) can be used as conditioning regimen for leukemia patients prior to stem cell transplantation by radiating the skeletal tissue. To ensure adequate dose coverage a margin is applied to the clinical target volume (CTV), i.e. planning target volume (PTV) margin. By applying as small margin as possible the dose to or
Background: One of the polymer gel dosimeters available today is the N-isopropylamide (NIPAM) polymer gel dosimeter which has a less toxic monomer compared to other polymer gels and the advantage of being able to be manufactured under normal oxygen levels. Polymer gel dosimeters in general are advantageous independent dosimeters to use for verification of new radiation treatment techniques due to
Introduction: The novel external beam therapy technique using ultra-high dose rates known as FLASH has become known for its normal tissue sparing effect. Currently in Lund, veterinary clinical trials are carried out on canine patients using electrons with ultra- high dose rates. By implementing a treatment planning system for FLASH-irradiation, the dose distribution can be visualized and the gantr
Purpose/Background: Utilizing proton therapy (PT) for treatment of Hodgkin’s lymphoma (HL) has demonstrated favorable features, particularly a reduced dose to organs at risk (OAR) in comparison with photon radiotherapy. However, there is a coherent complexity with PT including its uncertainties, such as range-uncertainties and set-up variations as protons are highly sensitive to tissue density var
Introduction: Today, 3D printing is a versatile tool used in a wide range of fields. With the advent of more cost-effective fused deposition modelling (FDM) 3D printing technologies it is time to investi- gate what such a 3D printer has to offer in radiation science applications. This master thesis will inves- tigate if there is a possibility to use a FDM 3D printer to construct an optically stimu
