Syftet med studien är att undersöka påverkan på ungdomars identitetsskapande genom lagsport, och i vilken utsträckning lagsportens positiva påverkan på ungdomen används och kan komma att användas i behandlingen på ungdomshem så som SiS- hem idag. Frågeställningen som jag utgår ifrån är följande: - Skulle en behandling som bygger på lagsport vara ett sätt att minska återfall för ungdomar som har
There is a growing expectation in the field of sustainable development that cities are the most suitable scale for addressing global environmental issues, particularly through their ability to mobilize local actors. Business improvement districts (BIDs) are a form of public-private partnership (PPP) in cities typically established by associations of private actors that aim to generate value in com
Examensarbetet kommer att undersöka om man genom utveckling av konventionell enkelspåriga stationer (driftplatser) kan få ett mer säkert och kostnadsreducerande alternativ
In contrast to the peripheral role of mother tongue as a subject in Sweden, English has retained an elevated position. Together with Swedish, English is characterized as being crucial to Swedish society, positioning both languages at the top of the linguistic hierarchy.

Det har länge pågått diskussioner om hur Visingsögruppen blev avsatt. Målet med den här studien är att få mer insikt i sedimentens litologiska sammansättning, provenans och genom att sätta upp ett sekvensstratigrafiskt ramverk kunna definiera depositionsprocesser. Studien fokuserade på sediment som tillhör den Mellersta formationen i Visingsögruppen, belägna vid Näs, Visingsö, Sverige. Metoderna sThe depositional setting of the Neoproterozoic Visingsö Group has long been a subject of discussion. This study aims to provide additional insights into the lithological composition and provenance of the sediments and to provide a sequence stratigraphic framework in order to define the depositional setting. It focuses on rocks belonging to the Middle Formation of the Visingsö Group located at the

The aim of this thesis work was to investigate and evaluate new possible industrial applications for large welded plate heat exchangers, with heat transfer areas of at least 500 m2. The research has been carried out through thermal design of heat exchangers for a total of nine cases. The nine cases are real-life applications for processes covering the petrochemical, oil & gas, power, and refin
We consider a technique involving Neural Networks in order to try to predict trends for cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, Ethereum etc. In that respect the project involves construction, design and training of a deep learning Neural Network based on historical trading data for these cryptocurrencies. Subsequently we apply this trained network in order to better understand its ability to possibly f

In 2014, the sharia-ruled Aceh province of Indonesia legislated bylaw qanun jinayat no.6/2014, which criminalised same-sex acts, and imposed a caning punishment consisting of a hundred lashes if a person was found guilty. The law impelled a hunt and persecution of LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender) individuals, thereby worsening discrimination against the already hampered LGBT community. T
From Nye’s famous soft power, a new international relations concept has recently emerged: strategic narratives, the narratives which different states use to promote their agendas in the international system. This thesis focuses on one particular aspect of Sino-Japanese relations: the understanding, characterization and possible implications of the strategic narratives projected by both countries v
I det här arbetet arbetar jag med frågor om vad som skapar gemenskap och tillhörighet till den plats vi bor på och de människor vi delar den med. Genom analyser och teoristudier kommer jag fram till några principer som jag applicerar i den fysiska utformningen i ett kvarter i nordöstra Malmö. Principerna handlar om behovet av att vara privat och att röra sig från privata mot successivt mer offentl
