Den rådande marknaden har nått en punkt där teknisk innovation och tekniska egenskaper har blivit mindre viktiga konkurrensmedel, varför TechCo har insett vikten av tidig brukarinvolvering i innovationsprocessen. För att kunna dra fördel av brukarinvolvering så krävs det emellertid ett innovativt klimat och en effektiv FFE-process. Syftet med detta examensarbete är att undersöka hur pass förbereddAs the topical engineering industry has reached a point where technical innovation and technical features have become less important as means of competition, TechCo has realized the importance of user involvement in their early stages of development. However, in order to absorb this new input flow, certain prerequisites are needed namely an innovative climate and a proficient FFE. The purpose of t

The massive infrastructure investments of the last 10 years in Vientiane (capital of Lao PDR) saw the city’s drainage network and wetlands being replaced by hydraulically more efficient cement-lined channels designed to ensure flood protection. As a result, water quality entering the receiving That Luang wetland has significantly degraded. It was initially intended that sewage water from the city

Denna uppsats behandlar och syftar till att utreda möjligheten till umgänge mellan barn och dess mor- och farföräldrar, i enlighet med gällande svensk lagstiftning. Sådan umgängesrätt har genom de senare årtiondenas utveckling, enligt lagens ordalydelse, kommit att bli en rättighet tillägnad barnet. Enligt den tidigare gällande uppfattningen stod istället föräldrarnas intresse i fokus. UmgängesrätThis paper discusses the possibility of access between children and their grandparents according to Swedish law. In recent decades this access has become a right belonging to the child, according to the letter, in contrast to previous law where the parents’ interests were the priority. Since the reform in 1983 the right of access has become increasingly concentrated on the child’s needs and what i

I takt med att världen blir allt mer globaliserad ökar möjligheterna för människor att förflytta sig över gränserna. Emellertid ökar även riskerna för att människor far illa och blir utnyttjade för till exempel människohandel. Människohandel är ett globalt och komplext problem och trots att människohandel kan syfta till att utnyttja människor på olika sätt och för olika ändamål har insatserna hittSweden faces a problem that no one could have predicted a few years ago, which is that people are exploited for forced labour in the West. The purpose of this essay is to make reference to both criminal and labour law in order to describe the regulations, the current practice, and to observe the difficulties in implementation that exist when introducing legislation in the campaign against forced l

According to certain researchers, such as Meisel (2008), a child has a similar way of acquiring a second language (cL2 learners) as adults (aL2 learners) do after the age of four. However, the difference of age and cognitive maturation between an adult and a child awakes ones curiousness of investigating how much the linguistic development of a cL2 learner resembles the one of aL2 learners. This s

This essay is based on a collaboration project, involving social services and schools in Malmö, which was executed during 2010-2011. Our focus has been on the project's purpose to strengthen the common aim of assisting children in difficult situations. One mean of achieving this aim has been to place social workers in the school environment in order to strengthen cooperation between the two or

Abstract Authors: Alexandra Jönsson & Emmeli Trobäck Title: We never force a child [translated title] Supervisor: Claes Levin Assessor: Kristina Göransson Our purpose with this paper was to try to get a better understanding of how a social worker acts and thinks in their assessments. Especially in the interaction between a foster child and the biological parents along with what role the child

In the following study, the aim has been to analyze how socially destructive behavior is constructed in verdicts concerning involuntary treatment of teenagers. We have examined which actions have been suggested as socially destructive, and whether sex is important for this construction. We have analyzed our material by using Foucault-inspired discourse analysis, with concepts such as power, knowle

The paper aims at discussing the potential of the Belarus’ national mechanism of constitutional control to maintain the adherence of this post-soviet State to national and international human rights standards. At the outset, the paper provides an overview of the theoretical understanding of constitutional control as an appropriate mechanism of protecting and promoting human rights in the context o

The aim of this thesis is to show how risk is used in the construction and realization of alternative identities, and how this strategy is connected to world systemic processes. The focal point is on the relation between social movements and risk, which also motivates the use of the case studies, Occupy Wall Street and the drug movement. Their perceived risks and risk taking behaviors will be stud

The Common European Framework of reference for languages (CEFR) has, since its publication in 2001, become a key document with respect to the organisation of language teaching and testing in Europe. The six reference levels (A1, A2, B1, B2, C1 and C2) have become widely accepted as the European standard for grading an individual's language proficiency. However, it has been pointed out that the

Dagens musikindustri i Sverige skiljer sig markant jämfört med densamma för tjugo år sedan. Den tekniska utvecklingen har skapat möjligheter för nya affärsmodeller att kunna etablera sig på musikmarknaden. Affärsmodellerna styrs till stor del av en balansakt mellan vad som musik-konsumenterna efterfrågar och krav från övriga intressenter på musikmarknaden. Dessa övriga aktörer består bland annat u

Syftet med studien var att undersöka hur maximering (en strategi där man strävar efter det optimala och det bästa alternativet i valsituationer) påverkar subjektivt välbefinnande och huruvida maximering skiljer sig med åldern. 103 individer har deltagit i studien och resultaten indikerar att maximerande tendenser associeras med lägre livstillfredsställelse och närvaron av fler negativa affekter ge

This thesis investigates the development of labor market policies directed at immigrants in Sweden, during the period of 1968-2010. The theoretical framework is built around three distinct ideas concerning the concept of citizenship – one libertarian, one empowering and a last one called caring, in the sense that it emphasizes the responsibility of society. My material consists of government publi

Green Information System (IS) has become an important topic in IT management research and practice in the last few years due to economic opportunities and increasing pressure from stakeholders. However, many private organizations fail to manage their environmental efforts in an adequate manner since they neglect the strategic aspects of this topic. This paper discloses the strategic relevance of G

Unga lagöverträdare särbehandlas idag straffrättsligt. De ska hållas utanför kriminalvården och istället företrädelsevis bli föremål för insatser inom socialtjänsten. Syftet bakom samarbetet mellan straffrätt och socialrätt är att unga individer är sårbara, påverkbara och med en bristande ansvarsförmåga. Denna samverkan kompliceras av att straff- och socialrätt är två rättsområden vars syftebeskriToday young law-offenders shall achieve special treatment in the penal system. They shall be kept out of the correctional services and instead primarily receive care from the social services. The purpose behind this cooperation between penal law and social law is that young individuals are vulnerable, impressionable and less accountable than adults. This collaboration is complicated due to the fac

Ett journalistiskt reportage om människor i Sverige som tror att de har levt ett tidigare liv, som under hypnos har fått minnesbilder som de tror kan härstamma från ett annat liv. Vi får följa med på en utbildning i tidigare-liv-terapi i Stockholm, träffar forskare och experter och följer med reportern Charlotte Andersson när hon själv testar tidigare-liv-terapi.

Detta arbetet har hanterat sex olika borrkärnor från den Prekambriska berggrunden i Ohio, USA. Denna berggrund är täckt med 800 – 5000 meter av Paleozoiska avlagringar och på grund av detta vet vi väldigt lite om den. Arbetet har gått ut på att karakterisera och datera dessa bergarter samt att via isotop analyser av syre och hafnium ta reda på bergarternas sammansättning och evolution. BorrkärnoThe Grenville orogen forms a major, continental scale, Mesoproterozoic orogenic belt along the present day eastern North American continent, from Labrador in the north to Mexico in the south. It is, however, mainly exposed in the northeastern parts of North America. Most of the orogen forms a basement to thick piles of Phanerozoic sedimentary rocks, and the geological evolution of the extensive co
