The Millennium Development Goals were initiated to make countries take action for reduced poverty and better living standards for the poor and vulnerable in the world. One of the goals includes increasing Official Development Assistance to 0.7 percent of GDP. Only a few countries fulfill this and there are doubts whether aid reduces poverty and promotes growth or not. In this paper aid has been an

Moving during school age has been found to have negative educational consequences. This has been attributed to the harm caused to social relationships among children, school and family caused by residential mobility. The study presented here used data from Dynamics of Social Stratification, Socio-economic Status and Social Mobility: Evidence from Urban Ankara/Turkey dataset to investigate the impa

Organiserad brottslighet är ett väldigt aktuellt ämne som diskuteras såväl i Sverige som internationellt. Diskussionerna rör bl.a. den organiserade brottslighetens struktur, hur utbredd den är, dess medlemmar, dess kriminalitet och det hot den innebär mot samhället. Många har starka åsikter gällande organiserad brottslighet och det talas om att krafttag mot den behöver tas och olika åtgärdsprogramOrganised crime is a well-discussed subject matter. There are questions regarding its structure, how widespread it is, the individuals involved with it, its crimes and the potential threat to our society it amounts to. These questions are talked about in many different arenas, in Sweden as well as internationally, and the opinions regarding organised crime are many and strong. The fight against it

Under början av 1900-talet införde alla nordiska länder, förutom Norge, en möjlighet för frihetsberövade kvinnor att medföra sitt spädbarn i anstalten under straffverkställigheten. Regleringarna grundades på arvsbiologiska aspekter, då det var vanligt att de små barnen fortfarande ammades av sina mödrar och de var beroende av modersmjölken för att överleva. Med tiden har dock regleringarnas syfte In the beginning of the 20th century all Nordic countries except Norway introduced a possibility for imprisoned women to bring their infants with them during their sentence. The legislation was considered necessary due to the fact that the infant still was breast-fed by their mother. Child psychologist and psychoanalysist John Bowlby (from Great Britain) developed the affiliation theory during th

Syftet med denna studie är att ur ett livsvärldsfenomenologiskt perspektiv dokumentera sång-ares upplevelse av sitt sångtekniska och musikaliska lärande i grupp och i förekommande fall sätta detta i relation till deras upplevelse av en enskild undervisning, samt att studera vilka faktorer som kan ha varit utslagsgivande för dessa upplevelser. Studien är kvalitativ och genomfördes som aktionsforsknTitle: Individual development in group - voice lessons together with and through others. The purpose of this study is to, from a life-world phenomenological point of view, document how singers experience their vocal technical and musical learning in group and in to relate this to their experience of a private lesson and to study what factors have been decisive for these experiences. This study is

Denna studie undersöker valda modernitetsbegrepp, inspirerade av Claes Ericsson, och hur de relaterar till utformningen av och praktiserande av elevinflytande vid två gymnasier med estetiska programmet: inriktning musik. Forskningsfrågan lyder: Hur kan likheter och skillnader i elevinflytande mellan två studerade gymnasieskolor med estetiska programmet:inriktning musik, förstås med hjälp av modernTitle: The School in the modern era – a comparative study of student impact. The present study investigates chosen perspectives of modernity inspired by Claes Ericsson, and how these can relate to the design and practising of student impact at two colleges with special music education. The core question of the study is: How can similaritites and differences in student impact between two studied co

Föreliggande studie presenterar ämnen knutna till utbildning av kompositörer på professionell nivå på Musikhögskolan i Malmö. Studien har fokuserat på att belysa lärandet och arbetssätten inom komposition av västerländsk konstmusik. Teoretiskt ramverk för studien har varit Gadamers hermeneutik och texter av bland annat Platon, Aristoteles, Nietzsche, Diderot, Larsson och Bergson. Dessa texter behaTitle: Composing art music The following study presents subjects related to the education of composers on a professional level at the Malmö Academy of Music. The focus of the study is to illustrate the learning processes and working methods involved in composing western art music. The theoretical framework for the study is Gadamer´s hermeneutics as well as texts by Plato, Aristotle, Nietzsche, Did

Vet du vad din uppgift är när du arbetar inom ett projekt? Vet du vad du skall göra? När du skall ha gjort det? Vet du dessutom vad du har huvudansvar för och vem som har huvudansvaret för det du arbetar med? Detta är vad roll- och ansvarsfördelning handlar om, att tydligt skapa en bild om vem inom projektet som har en roll och sedan konsekvent se till att varje uppgift inom projektet har en roll

Hur psykiskt störda lagöverträdare ska behandlas inom rättssystemet är en fråga som ständigt diskuteras. Denna grupp har sedan lång tid tillbaka särbehandlats inom straffrätten. Problematiken kring dessa lagöverträdare är väldigt komplex och några enkla lösningar går troligen inte att finna. Området präglas av motstående intressen, där humanitet och samhällsskydd är två av de mest centrala. UnderHow mentally disordered offenders should be treated in the justice system is an issue constantly under discussion. This group has for a long time been treated differently in criminal law. The questions of these offenders are very complex and no easy solutions are likely to find. This area is characterized by conflicting interests, where humanity and public protection are two of the most central.

The goal of this experiments was to investigate a possible link between emotional and cognitive empathy and temporal distance. Along the lines of the Affect dependent time discounting hypothesis (Liberman & Trope, 2000) it is proposed that emotional reactions to empathic events decrease with temporal distance and cognitive reactions to the same empathic events increase. To test this hypothesis

Taking in to consideration the countless human rights violations and impunity in Africa, there is not a shred of doubt about the dire need for effective human rights protection mechanisms at continental level. This concern has mainly increased due to the Africa Commission’s poor track record of enforcement of human rights norms in the region. Hence, it is in the effort to cure the ills suffered by

A theoretical analysis using computer simulations of the loadbearing capacity of ISO 834 standard fire exposed HEA, HEB, IPE and HSQ steel beams partially embedded in concrete and protected with Hensotherm intumescent paint.

This study deals with the assessment, using probabilistic methods, of people’s fire safety in buildings. The problem is addressed by modelling the evacuation of people from the fire- and smoke-threatened area. The buildings considered are assumed to be designed according to the Icelandic fire prevention regulation. The following types of buildings have been chosen for analysis: a dance hall, a spo

In this master thesis a basis for design rules, for High Performance Concrete (HPC) under fire attack, has been assessed and preliminary design guide lines have been suggested. The report encompasses detailed discussions on mechanical as well as thermal properties of HPC. The report also gives a methodology for the development of simplified design methods. The methodology differs somewhat for beam

This report deals with fully developed fires in compartments where the boundary structure is made of mineral wool and plasterboard. The project was initiated due to new Swedish regulations (BBR 94) that allow buildings with wood structure to be built more than two storeys high. The temperature-timecurves in this report are computed according to authorized methods used in Sweden (method I and metho

This paper deals with the concept of trade-off and comparisons between different fire protection alternatives. Fire protection regulations concerning the building process and the nuclear power industry are being discussed. Different methods of decision analysis as well as risk analysis and uncertainty analysis are presented. A method of how to make quantitative risk and cost assessment between dif
