In Germany, prisoners have a constitutional right to rehabilitation (“resocialization”). In the Lebach judgment of 1973, a landmark ruling that served as the basis for the 1976 Prison Act (Strafvollzugsgesetz [StVollzG]), rehabilitation was seen by the German Federal Constitutional Court as part of the guaranteed rights of prisoners to retain their human dignity (Dünkel & van Zyl Smit, 2007, p
In the ever-evolving field of technology, teamwork is as important than ever to stay ahead of the competition. The need for new and fast ways to increase team efficiency is growing within the technology sector. With research showing that a big contributor to team efficiency is group efficacy, the perception that your team has what it takes to handle any coming situations, this research aims to gai
The present article reports the results based on a study that explored the influence of gender-country interaction in the work-life conflict experience among a sample of employees in the health-care industry. It highlights the importance of cultural background, presuming that men and women will experience work-life conflict differently depending on their nationality/cultural background. Additional
In 1947 the municipalities in Sweden received the monopoly to decide on and plan their land. Despite this, over 80 percent of the municipalities in Sweden say they experience lack of housing today. This thesis applies The Homevoter Hypothesis introduced by William A. Fischel in 2001 to try to explain why some municipalities are not able to construct enough housing for their inhabitants. The hypoth
Med molnlagring kommer många fördelar såsom möjligheten till back-up och att användaren kan komma åt sina filer oberoende av plats. Det finns även flertalet säkerhetsrisker med molnlagringstjänster vilket kan äventyra informationssäkerheten. På senare tid har flera attacker mot molnlagringstjänster ägt rum, samtidigt som antalet användare ökar. I denna uppsats har det genom en enkätundersökning st
This essay examines the philosophical questions posed in Virginia Woolf’s famous novel Mrs Dalloway (1925) set in London in the aftermath of World War I. In her unique tone and poetic aesthetics, Woolf deals with questions about war and its aftermaths, evil and oppressive power, time and temporality, duality of life, fear of suffering and death, sacrifice and suicide but also, most importantly, lo
Honour related violence has been up for political discussion in the last two decades in Sweden, a discourse primarily concerned with girls. In the absence of a legislation concerning honour related violence, children in need of protection can receive it through the Care of Young Persons Act (CYPA). The purpose of this thesis is to study how the second paragraph in the CYPA is applied by Administra
There is a theoretical debate among social movement scholars around an increasing concern with the role of technology in terms of key social movement activities, including mobilization, running and engaging in campaigns and making claims on authorities. This research deals with this debate and contributes to it with this case study on the Georgian women’s movement. The research examines women’s m

The genus Caldicellulosiruptor and especially Caldicellulosiruptor saccharolyticus are gaining attention because of their potential as biohydrogen producers from agricultural and forestry waste on an industrial scale. Genetic and in turn metabolic engineering can be used to aid in the characterization of C. saccharolyticus. Additionally, it can be used in strain improvement to overcome limiting fa
Diskussioner gällande olikheter har kommit att spela en allt större roll i den svenska debatten om frågor såsom sociala klyftor, integration och välfärd. I takt med att denna debatt anpassas sig till samtidens sociala strömningar av xenofobi och nationalism, skiftar även dess begrepp form. Social sammanhållning är ett av dessa begrepp. Denna uppsats anlägger ett etnologiskt angreppssätt för att unIn Sweden, discussions of difference and diversity have come to play a bigger role in nation- wide debate on social gaps, integration and welfare issues. As this debate on these adapts to prevailing social currents with strong tendencies of xenophobia and nationalism, so does the terms we use to examine and discuss such questions. Social cohesion is one of these terms. Therefore, this thesis appli
Despite the general consensus on the urgent need for climate mitigation, the achievements of the climate regime have so far been discouraging. The supportiveness of pre-existing global governance institutions should be achieved to enable truly ambitious climate policy. In this thesis, I investigate the theory of regulatory chill in interactions between the WTO and the UNFCCC by examining climate c
This thesis regards the efficiency of a planetary gear train. The analysis only accounts for the power losses in the gear meshing. Tip radius, pressure angles and profile shifts are altered and the results show higher efficiency due to tooth modifications.
Permafrost regions cover approximately a quarter of the Northern Hemisphere and thawing has been recorded in many different locations. The thawing process is likely to continue given that the Northern Latitudes will experience increased warming, which is known as the Arctic Amplification Factor. Changes in permafrost regions can cause changes in hydrology, biogeochemical cycles and ecosystems. Fur
This scientific report has mainly studied the concept of Industry 4.0 and the possibility to send data from a temperature sensor to the cloud, a process which is an example of the term Internet of Things. The study has been conducted for the consultant business Rejlers to give the CEO as well as the Technical Manager a broader view of how they could implement IoT on behalf of costumers in the futu
This thesis work has has been done at Sensative in Lund and the goal has been to build a prototype of a product which the company then may build further upon. The product aims to combine IoT with social responsibility by preventing drowning accidents with the data that is generated and sent via the product. Based of an initial description of the product provided by Sensative, the work then was div
