Uppmärksamheten rörande flyktingfrågan tenderar att beröra människor på olika sätt. Det kan få dess effekter på gott och ont. Jag har valt att koncentrera mig på en mer påtvingad invandring som jag väljer att kalla det. Den påtvingade aspekten på det menar jag är människors flykt från dess hemländer, vilket får de att bli flyktingar av olika slag. Jag diskuterar där de olika grunder som kan bli akThe attention regarding the refugee issue tends to affect people in different directions. It has its effect in both a good and bad way. I have chosen to concentrate on what i call a forced migration. The forced aspect in this subject is those people fleeing from their respective homelands, which ends up resulting in that these people become refugees of different kind. I will discuss the bases whic

The European Spallation Source, ESS, is a joint collaboration of 17 European countries, where the world’s most powerful neutron source will be built for future research within a vast variety of fields. In order to deliver the highly energetic neutrons, protons are accelerated to energies in the GeV range and then collided with a spallation target. This acceleration process requires superconducting

The Arctic tundra has been considered as one of the most sensitive areas to global climate change. One impact of global warming is that permafrost thawing could result in more waterlogged and anaerobic conditions, and consequently an increasing release of methane (CH4) to the atmosphere. These potential CH4 emissions can further amplify global warming. Therefore, it is important to assess the quan

Långvarig exponering av stress kan leda till fysiska och psykiska besvär såsom posttraumatiskt stressyndrom (PTSD). Ambulanspersonal utsätts för många stressorer i sin yrkesutövning. Studiens syfte är att belysa faktorer som skapar stress samt hur ambulanspersonal påverkas av densamma. Studien är en systematisk litteraturstudie där tretton vetenskapliga artiklar analyserades och sammanställdes. Re

Säbybäckens vattenkvalitet Säbybäcken är en liten bäck i den skånska kommunen Landskrona. Målet med anläggandet av Säbybäcken var från början enbart att dränera det omgivande landskapet, men bäcken har därefter även kommit att ha andra viktiga funktioner. Bäckens utgör exempelvis lekplats för havsöring och har också kommit att avvändas som rekreationsområde av omgivande samhälle. Säbybäcken bör iWater quality in the Säbybrook The Säbybrook is a small stream in Landskrona municipality, situated in a landscape dominated by agricultural practices.

Vad är konturerna för det sociala arbetets fält? Så lyder problemformuleringen i denna studie. Syftet med arbetet är att utarbeta en alternativ modell för förståelse av socialt arbete utifrån Bourdieus fältbegrepp. Arbetet utgår från ett antal allmänna fältaspekter. Dessa allmänna drag operationaliseras genom att översättas till ett antal teman som kan knyta an till ett empiriskt material. Intervj

The Tam Giang-Cau Hai lagoon is located outside of Hue in central Vietnam. Southeast of Thuan An inlet, one of the two inlets of the lagoon, a groin was constructed in 2008 as a measure to reduce the sediment transport to prevent the inlet from closing. This groin has caused erosion of the eastern sand spit of the inlet and accretion of sediment on the coastline south east of the groin. The object

Stimulation of innovation is a hot topic around the world. The developed economies are nowadays significantly dependent on innovation for further growth. One central source of innovation is universities and their ability to turn new knowledge into value-adding innovations. One of these technology transfer measures is through the creation of university spinoffs (USOs). High-tech startups, however,

When treating patients suffering from renal failure with hemodialysis, an obvious point of interest is the actual blood cleaning efficiency of the dialyzer (artificial kidney). This efficiency is called clearance or dialysance. The method currently used for estimating clearance is based on doing a step-change on the process. Due to the nature of the process, this method is slow and has a relativel

I Sverige överenskommes årligen tusentals uppdrag som kan hänföras till området för entreprenader. Entreprenaduppdrag kan vara alltifrån mindre åtaganden till omfattande arbeten med höga kontraktsbelopp. Eftersom dessa arbeten faller utanför KöpL tillämpningsområde uppkommer ett behov av reglering vilket görs inom ramen för den så kallade entreprenadrätten. Entreprenadrätten har i brist på lagreglYearly, thousands of transactions in Sweden can be related to construction of some kind. These constructions can be very various in scope, everything from small undertakings, to extensive long term assignments.

Det övergripande syftet med uppsatsen var att skapa förståelse för vilka hinder och möjligheter gällande lärande som finns på en arbetsplats och i arbetslivet för personer med Aspergers syndrom. För att besvara det har jag studerat de teoretiska kopplingarna mellan Aspergers syndrom och lärande i arbetslivet samt analyserat och diskuterat hinder och möjligheter för dessa individers lärande i arbet

Despite indications that inequality can have a large impact on development, little research on the relationship between foreign aid and inequality exists. The majority of the studies on the subject also focus on overall aid figures, thereby leaving the question of whether the purpose of aid matters unexplored. This study uses panel data on 116 countries over the time period 1972-2011 to focus on w

This thesis investigates the impact of foreign aid in 46 sub-Saharan countries. Furthermore, this study also examines what effect the interaction between policies and aid has on growth. This is done through a panel based OLS regression model on the years of 1996-2011. The main findings are that there’s not a clear answer to whether aid has a significant effect on growth and that the result depends

The paper intends to shed some light on the means that are in force for taxpayer protection since many developments have taken place recently that created uncertainty in this context. Further it seeks to draw more attention to the deficiencies in legislation that taxpayers face when their data is exchanged beyond borders. It is aimed at determining whether current (and accordingly the emerging aut
