Syftet med föreliggande studie var att undersöka deltagarnas upplevelser kring hur det är att vara partner till, och ha barn med, en person som drabbats av cancer. Fokus har varit hur partnerns sjukdom har påverkat deltagaren och dess familjesituation, samt deras erfarenheter av stöd i situationen. I studien ingår fem deltagare, två män och tre kvinnor, som har intervjuats med halvstrukturerade in
Abstract This paper studies the encounter of the Roma culture with Swedish culture during the period 1950 to 1975. I understand this encounter as a period in which the Swedish authorities tried to integrate the Roma culture by means of the homogenization of cultural values. During the studied period of time, the confronted values were those of a Roma culture with traditional defensive attitude ma
Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning Naturbetesmarker samt ängs- och hagmarker fungerar som boplats och födokälla för vilda pollinerande insekter, men intensifiering av modernt jordbruk och markanvändning har gjort att dessa typer av gräsmarker minskar drastiskt. Vilka effekter detta får för pollinering i de kringliggande markerna genom ökad fragmentering, och därmed ökande isolering från dylika grAbstract Semi-natural grasslands, which act as nesting and foraging habitats for wild pollinating insects, have declined tremendously due to both agricultural intensification and land abandonment. The effects this has on plant pollination in the surrounding landscapes, through increasing fragmentation and isolation from natural habitats, is relatively well known for cultivated crops but much less
The response of concrete structures subjected to blast load can be studied numerically using commercial finite element programs. The complexity of reinforced concrete makes modeling and simulation of large structures time and computer power consuming. Consequently, The Swedish Defense Research Agency, FOI, has an interest in finding a fast and numerically efficient model to study this response to
This essay attempts to analyze possible social perspectives on modern day “snakeheads“ (shetou 蛇头, facilitators of irregular migration) in China’s emigration-intense regions. The essay argues that even though “snakeheads” are criminals there is a huge variety of perspectives on how “snakeheads“ are perceived by society - reaching from condemned and hated to celebrated and admired - and tries to fi
The aim of this thesis is to give a statistical description of a neu- tron traversing a neutron detector system consisting of a polycrys- talline support material. The material used as support material in this project is aluminium although the results are applicable to any polycrystalline material. A mathematical description of the possible interactions in the detector system will be given, from w
This diploma work is made for the Faculty of Engineering (LTH) at Lunds University and for the HVAC consultant company Helenius ingenjörsbyrå. The objectives were to find ways of determining what size of ventilation systems that are required for biological research and ways of lowering energy consumption focused on ventilation in laboratories, without lowering the safety for workers and environme
Are we as a society (global, national or local) incomplete if we do not adhere to the substantial truths to be gained by alignment with the western democratic notion of the rule of law? Is the notion of the rule designed with the built in paradox that the rule of law will itself become the basis for future designs of society, defining where we are, where we want to be and even in time, possibly (r
This thesis examines the reparation regime of the International Criminal Court and The Lubanga Case will be examined and analyzed. This thesis will moreover address the question whether the reparations regime is in some ways an underdeveloped concept and an attempt will be made to demonstrate that it is not, but in fact it rather provides a comprehensive system of procedure regarding reparations.
How can a small fire at a subcontractor in the USA lead to a multimillion dollar loss at a Swedish telephone company, and how can a single machine breakdown lead to a complete production stop at a production company? With today logistics and production trends, where terms such as Lean Production, Six Sigma, 5S, and World Class Manufacturing are used every day, production companies are introducing
In this report you read about my process in my bachelor project. I started out with an investigation into waste management and ended up in a product concept. Since waste management and consumption is a present issue, I decided that this was a field where I could base my bachelors project on. My thought was that this was an area where I would find potential problems where I, as a designer, could a
Climate adaptation is necessary to address the impacts of the climate change which is already unavoidable due to past emissions. There is a strong need for knowledge building, for which climate-related knowledge and information needs to be made available through different types of climate services. The aim with this study is to examine how useful climate services are, as a knowledge base for decis
Många städer och kommuner investerar, eller planerar att investera, i evenemang, arenor och kongressanläggningar. Dessa investeringar är ofta stora, iögonfallande och förväntas ha en inverkan på stadens utveckling, så väl ekonomiskt som en påverkan på stadens attraktivitet och image. Vid en närmare studie av den akademiska litteraturen så ser vi en diskurs mellan olika forskare om hur effektivt pl
Denna uppsats behandlar en nyligen avkunnad dom från Mark-och miljööverdomstolen. Rättsfallet som rör ett moderbolags miljöansvar för sitt helägda dotterbolags miljöskador är intressant både ur en miljö-och bolagsrättslig aspekt. Miljöansvaret faller primärt på verksamhetsutövaren och sekundärt på markägaren. Detta är reglerat i miljöbalken och har ägnats en hel del uppmärksamhet i praxis, förarbeThe present study deals with a recently delivered judgment from the Environmental court of appeal. The case deals with the issue of parent company liability for contamination, which is interesting from both an environmental and a company point of view. The environmental responsibility primarily lies on “the operator” and secondarily on the property owner. This is regulated in the Swedish environme
When the Muslim armies for the first time crossed the Strait of Gibraltar in 711 a prospering epoch of Moorish culture and science started in Southern Spain. In today´s Southern region of Spain, Andalucia, there are still to find impressive Moorish buildings and the Muslim-Andalusian spirit is still present generating emotional and religious impulses. This bachelor thesis in European Studies with
The renovation of the million project housing is today an important issue and many people are dependent on that it is done well. This essay explores the connection between urban renewal and gentrification with a single case method. The case is Gårdsten, which is an area in the north of Gothenburg that has gone through a series of renovations. The purpose of this essay is to have critical view of t
