In the year of 2009, the debate on unaccompanied children in Sweden was intense. The number of unaccompanied children in Sweden has increased and the Swedish Migration Board estimates that during 2010, approximately 2400 children will arrive. Under the second article of the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) the state is required to ensure all children, within its jurisdiction, the ri

Syftet med detta examensarbete har varit att identifiera flödet av varor och information mellan Sverige och Grekland för att i den mån det är möjligt presentera alternativa lösningar som är bättre för IKEA sett från ett ekonomiskt, miljömässigt tids- och effektivitetsperspektiv.

Critical discourse analysis makes up the theoretical and methodical framework. It focuses on the relationship between the conceptualisation of segregation in housing and the hierarchies of power along ethnic and class dimensions in the making of it

I alla tider och på alla platser har människan försökt förstå hur världen hänger ihop. Sökandet efter den substans som bygger världen har lett oss till upptäckterna av molekylerna, atomerna och atomernas byggstenar. Och när man tränger längre och längre in i materiens märkligheter finner man att svaren inte bara ligger i vad byggstenarna är, utan också hur de trivs med varandra. Växelverkan – hur Excitation of the C 1s core-electron in carbonyl sulfide (OCS) gives rise to many dissociation channels. Excitation at the C 1s edge gives rise to localized core-holes in carbon atoms, thus being strongly site specific. Photoelectron–photoion coincidence (PEPICO) measurements of the fragmentation of OCS have been done with 3D spectroscopy at MAX-lab in Lund. I show in this report strong difference

This paper compares the explanation for social change that are offered by three theories of rape, all of which apply a socio-cultural and a gender perspective.

Det övergripande syftet i denna kvalitativa uppsats är att, utifrån ett genusperspektiv, synliggöra Lilla gummans diskursiva uttryck för kön och teknik, samt söka en förståelse kring hur dessa uttryck kan ha en normsättande funktion. Tre avsnitt ur tekniksajten Lilla gumman samt 15 artiklar som behandlar sajtens verksamhet undersöks med kritisk diskursanalys som metodologiskt angreppssätt. Grunden

For the dosimetry of interstitial photodynamic therapy (IPDT), the fibre positioning and the distributed light fluence that activates the treatment are essential. With sufficient supply of oxygen and photosensitiser, the treatment effect depends entirely on the distributed light. By proper dosimetry, the illumination is limited to the tumour and adjacent sensitive tissues are spared. The fibre po

Utsikten om positiva eller negativa emotioner bör vara vad som motiverar människan till att handla moraliskt. Syftet med denna studie var att visa att moraliskt handlande ger upphov till moralisk tillfredsställelse, som skattas högre vid ett stort tidsavstånd. Försöksdeltagarna fick sätta sig in i korta händelser som ägde rum i antingen närbelägen eller avlägsen framtid. I experiment 1 ombads förs

The aim of this study was to investigate the behavior of a dense jet discharged into lighter ambient water. This situation can be found for brine water discharged from desalination plants. Desalination plants discharge heavier brine water, generated in the process of manufacturing fresh water, to the receiving water, usually the sea. Future extended use of desalination technologies implies larger
