The technological level of a country is known to have a significant impact on the economic growth of the region. Technology specifically is what drives the progression of productivity. The concept of technology diffusion addresses the phenomenon of countries adopting and using new technology. This paper aims to address the issue of whether the Schengen Area has influenced the technology diffusion
Det är över 60 miljoner människor på flykt världen över. I Sverige och stora delar av Europa pågår en debatt kring de stora flyktingströmmarna och hur integrationen till samhället ska gå till. Många åsikter framförs men vad innebär egentligen flyktingmigrationen för orter och städer världen över? Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka hur den ekonomiska tillväxten i Sveriges kommuner påverkas a
The purpose of this thesis is to analytically examine and investigate if male and female have no meaning with regards to the County Administrative Courts descriptions and assessments in cases regarding the Care of Abusers (special provision) Act (LVM). It is to investigate if notions of gender are expressed in these LVM-cases, and if so, how are they expressed and how can we understand these expre
WAY-FINDING AND CROWD MANAGEMENT IN SHOPPING MALL EVACUATION-A modelling case study of Emporia Mall in Malmö Evacuation time can be reduced by successful crowd management techniques and efficient evacuation strategies. It is possible to use evacuation models for analysing egress strategies and evacuation procedures in shopping malls. Becoming more and more important with the passing of time, per
Hälsoångest är ett tillstånd där personen har en stark oro för att bli sjuk eller är övertygad om att de redan lider av en allvarlig sjukdom. Ett av symptomen som ofta nämns, är påträngande inre mentala bilder om sjukdomar, ofta svåra och livshotande sådana som kan innebära egen eller nära släktingars bortgång. Imagery rescripting har visat sig vara en lovande behandlingskomponent när det gäller p
In this thesis the III-V semiconductor material GaSb (111) was studied using Scanning Tunneling Microscopy and Scanning Tunneling Spectroscopy. To characterize the surfaces of semiconductors has become more relevant in today society. When semiconductors become so small that they are in the micro scale the surface must be taken into consideration. The sample is first placed in the cleaning chamber
A Novel Way of Measuring Inter-Person Distance: A Study Involving an Ultrasonic Measurement Device The quantitative characteristics of people movement that form the fundamental diagram have an important role in the field of Fire Safety Engineering regarding evacuation. The fundamental diagram indicates the relation between crowd speed and crowd density (or inter-person distance) or flow of crowd a
This study is on behalf of Röke Buss and aims to identify the significant environmental impacts of the company as well as to review the environmental requirements posted by public buyers. The study is divided in two sections; the first section is a document analysis that analyses RFQs (request of quotation) of school bus services from the municipalities within Scania to identify its environmental
Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka hur en gruppinsats för unga flickor med högfungerande autism fungerade och upplevdes av deltagarna och deras vårdnadshavare. Gruppinsatsen bestod av en integrering av metoder hämtade ur Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), compassionfokuserad terapi (CFT), dans och yoga och avsåg att förebygga psykisk ohälsa hos deltagarna. Studien genomfördes genom ob
Out of town shopping is a growing business that is no longer just about the human need for food and clothes, it has also become an health- and environmental issue. Shopping centres located outside of- and in the outskirts of the city centres are raising the amount of car traffic and also the greenhouse gases. Managing these centres is thus both a global and a local issue which the municipal planne
The study looked at a group of young men convicted of violent crimes and had a particular focus on Conduct disorder (CD) as well as differences in background and treatment interventions (therapy or medication) depending on whether the person had early, late or no CD. The aim was to identify how these treatment measures differed between the groups early, late and no CD. Data to the current study ca
As there currently are not so many known studies which directly evaluate how diversity indices have been used in different contexts, following literature study was made with the purpose of investigating how three of the most commonly used diversity indices (including Shannon-Wiener’s and Simpson’s Indices as well as a certain index measuring taxonomic diversity) are representing different categori
Säkerhet ses oftast som en del av en teknisk lösning vilket gör att företag har en tendens att dedicera mer resurser till teknisk säkerhet, snarare än strategisk säkerhet. Mänskliga faktorer kan ha en avgörande negativ roll för informationssäkerheten inom företag om grunden till informationssäkerheten inte hanteras på rätt sätt. Uppsatsen undersöker kopplingen mellan modellen CIA-triadens olika de

This study aims to investigate the impact of foreign aid on economic growth by using an exogenous instrument identified by Galiani et al. (2015). Researchers have through the years failed to agree on whether aid causes growth, being unable to identify an exogenous instrument that can eliminate the endogeneity problem associated with aid and growth. Galiani et al. (2015) claim to have found such an
Foreign nationals may, according to Swedish law, be placed in detention centers. That means that they are deprived of their liberty for the purpose of being accessible for the migration authorities. The person will thereby be placed in a designated premises provided by the Swedish Migration Agency, although an incapacitation in police custody or correctional facilities can also become a reality. T
During the last decades, there have been tremendous improvements in Silicon-based transistor technologies such as operational speed increase as well as size and cost reduction. However, the bandwidth in modern processors is significantly limited by the data transfer in the metallic interconnects. Inspired by the long-range telecommunication technologies, the industry is developing the field of int
Degrowth is an academic concept and activists' niche project in Europe and other early-industrialized parts of the world aiming to reframe the current sustainability challenge of declining environmental and unjust social conditions. Its emphasis is on the radical transformation of the current societal-economic structure in order to achieve inherently sustainable conditions. There are various d
This thesis concerns the current highly debated issue on the Swedish labour market, regarding the prevailing lack of integration of immigrants. Firstly, it is common that highly educated individuals find themselves at work positions where they are overly qualified in terms of education and experience, for example, when an engineer works as a taxi driver. Secondly, there is a higher rate of unemplo
