This thesis aims to investigate the experiences of immigrant lone mothers’ integration into the Swedish labour market. The study is situated against a background where immigrants and lone mothers are two groups that experience difficulties on the labour market, but where there have been few studies that have explored how immigrant lone mothers experience their labour market integration as both imm
This essay analyses how Mary Shelley challenges speciesist thinking popular at the time of the publication of Frankenstein (1818). Speciesism is a discriminatory belief that favours the human species over any species other than human, and that is manifested in how we perceive and treat nonhuman beings. Much literary criticism has touched upon Frankenstein’s monster’s otherness, mainly in relation
The establishment of marine protected areas is a complementary management measure that is increasingly used to protect biodiversity and endangered species. Studies of the effects of protecting certain areas rarely take into account the consequences of non-compliance of rules and regulations, despite the fact that non-compliance of protected areas have been reported from all parts of the world. Thi
The studied intrusion, the Hakefjorden Complex on Älgön is a norite-anorthosite complex situated in the archipelago on the west coast of Sweden. The origin of the intrusion will be deduce through in situ Sr-isotope analysis by MC-ICP-MS (multiple collector- inductively coupled plasma- mass spectrometry) on plagioclase, together with petrographic description and chemical analysis. The examined plag
Rapporten behandlar hyresgästens preferenser vid val av lokal inom Stockholm CBD. Detta analyseras i kontrast till vad hyresvärden upplever att hyresgästen efterfrågar. Därtill adderas aspekter så som hyresgästens uppfattning av befintlig lokal och hur deras betalningsviljor har förändrats för ett antal föreslagna åtgärder. Preferenser som valts att undersökas är; närhet till kollektivtrafik, kundThis thesis analyzes the tenants’ preferences in choosing a location to establish a business within Stockholm CBD. The report analyses the difference between the tenants’ preferences and the landlords’ perception of the tenants’ preference. The tenants’ perception of present lease and how the willingness to pay changes for proposed actions were also analyzed. The purpose of the report is to descri
The number of people who choose e-books rather than reading traditional paper books are increasing as a result of our world becoming more digitized. Libraries need to keep up with this trend and modernize its lending procedures for their digital products. The purpose and goal of this Master thesis were to answer the questions how e-books can become more attractive to those who have not yet dared t
The Primeiras and Segundas Archipelago Reserve, located in the waters of northern Mozambique, is the largest marine protected area in Africa, extending over 200 km of coastline. Despite the region’s importance for the local economic, information on the marine ecosystem, notably benthic habitat, is very scarce. Twelve atolls were mapped in the region using object-based image classification of very-
Guided waves have a signicant potential for Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) and Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) due to their relatively long distance of propagation and sensitivity to discontinuities along the propagation path, anywhere through the material thickness. The inability to model wave guides of arbitrary cross-section using current matrix methods, has led to the development of a techni
HVAC systems are widely used to provide a good indoor air quality in buildings. Buildings stand for a substantial part of the total energy consumption in developed countries, and with an increased focus on cost reductions and energy savings, it is necessary to use intelligent and energy-efficient controllers. Accurate models describing the dynamics of the building system is a good basis for intel
Care workers KASAM (sense of coherence) and abuse in elder care The aim of this study has been to examine and illuminate managers and care workers descriptions of abuse against elderly in eldercare. The study has been conducted with qualitative semi-structured interviews with two managers and three care workers (a total of seven respondents) in elder care. The empirical findings have been analyze
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is a broad area of management study and practice that has become increasingly important for business practitioners and academics alike. While the majority of authors who have written on the subject, including ourselves, are proponents of CSR in general, there is an emerging viewpoint that it is simply not enough for corporations to singlehandedly address CSR t
Skolan har ingen lång tradition av att arbeta laborativt i matematik och dynamisk programvara är ett sätt att fylla denna brist. Dynamisk programvara låter eleven gå i dialog, utmanar, skapar nyfikenhet, åskådliggör begrepp och underlättar inlärningen. Det krävs emellertid att lärare är villiga att sätta sig in i de relativt nya möjligheterna eftersom datoranvändning i matematik- och fysikundervisReportedly in Swedish schools, there is no long tradition of investigative and laboratory work in the mathematics subject. Dynamic software is a term which encapsulates the purpose of software as a pedagogical instrument in teaching. There is great potential in this but also a need for teachers to engage and apply themselves to the new possibilities. Computer software in class does not automatical
Bakgrund: Personer med utvecklingsstörning har komplexa vårdbehov, ofta i samband med kommunikationssvårigheter. Sjuksköterskan har en skyldighet att anpassa omvårdnaden efter patientens behov för att kunna utföra en personcentrerad vård. Syfte: Belysa vilka faktorer som påverkar sjuksköterskors omvårdnad av personer med utvecklingsstörning. Metod: Systematisk integrerad litteraturstudie baserad p
The aim of this study was to examine the support extended to friends and families of persons who have committed suicide. The study is based on nine qualitative interviews with bereaved friends and relatives. Based on Cullberg's theory of crisis and Dyregrov's theory of coping strategies, we analyzed the interviews where families described the support services they received. The study shows
Detta magisterarbete bygger på en översättning av Amnesty Internationals “briefing paper” angående vissa europeiska länders samarbete med CIA. Texten är publicerad på Amnestys internationella webbplats och översätts för att kunna publiceras på Amnestys svenska webbplats. Den första delen av arbetet är en källtextanalys som bygger på Hellspong och Ledins textanalysmodell i Vägar genom texten (1997)
Capping and/or lamination occur as a result of low mechanical strength in tablets. The mechanical strength can be enhanced with suitable formulation- and process parameters for the tablet powder in question. The aim of the present thesis was to investigate capping tendencies of mannitol based tablets. More specifically, the effect of varied particle size of mannitol, type and concentration of bind
PFOS (Perfluoroktansulfonat) har genom sina unika ytaktiva och beständiga egenskaper använts i en mängd olika tillämpningar och blivit ett av jordens mest spridda ämnen. Metallytbehandling, hydrauloljor till flygplan och impregnering av textilier hör till ämnets användningsområden, men mest uppmärksammat är nog tillsatsen till brandsläckningsskum där PFOS är den aktiva beståndsdelen. Upprepade släPFOS (Perfluorooctane sulfonate) has, through its unique surface active and non-reactive properties been used in a range of applications and has become one of the earth’s most wide spread substances. Metal plating, hydraulic fluids and textile repellants are among the chemical’s field of application, but most attention has probably been given the presence in fire-fighting foam, where PFOS constitu
I denna uppsats testas den konsumtionsbaserade CAPM empiriskt på den amerikanska marknaden. Undersökningen tillämpas både på års- och månadsbasis för perioden 1970-2013 samt delperioden 1970-2006. Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka modellens precision på historisk data och utifrån detta tillämpas tester för att se om modellen är korrekt specificerad. Först konstrueras 20 stycken aktieportföljer
