I denna uppsats behandlas begreppet ”väsentlig anknytning” i ljuset av anknytningsfaktorerna bostad, familj och ekonomiskt engagemang. Förhoppningen med uppsatsen har varit att klargöra när en person anses ha väsentlig anknytning till Sverige efter utflyttning och försöka klargöra hur praxis utvecklats. Sedan internationaliseringen slog igenom har det blivit vanligare och enklare att förflytta sigThe aim of this study was to investigate the meaning of “significant connection” in the light of the connecting factors housing, family and financial commitment.

Since the breakthrough of internationalization, it has

This paper sets out to investigate regional differences in cancer incidence and mortality in Sweden. By using descriptive analysis, the aim is to detect regional trends and patterns. Results show that cancer incidence is higher in the south of Sweden compared to the north, especially in Skin cancer (C44) and Malignant melanoma (C43). Morality rates do not show as clear of a geographical pattern. H

In the manufacturing process of Tetra Pak packages, holes are cut out of the paperboard for straws and caps. The left-over paperboard clippings, called confetti, need to be evacu- ated from the machine. However, this evacuation process has proven to cause problems due to jams arising as the confetti get stuck in joints and along the pipe walls. This study investigates how the confetti behave, defo

Sedan COVID-19 etablerade sig i Sverige har antalet besökare i naturområden ökat drastiskt i många delar av landet. Detta fenomen har sannolikt både positiva och negativa effekter på naturvärdena i berörda områden. För Kullabergs naturreservat i nordvästra Skåne var ökningen av besökare under våren och sommaren år 2020 mycket påtaglig. Intensifieringen av besökare resulterade i ett behov hos Länss

This thesis advocates for the evaluation of current sociopolitical conflicts through the lens of social movement theory, as a decisive path to deconstruct the premises of the German right-wing party Alternative for Germany (Alternative für Deutschland, AfD). The party is conceptualized as an institutionalized social movement, which is insufficiently answering public material grievances caused by e

Förekomsten av ojämlikhet i hälsa mellan olika etniska och socioekonomiska grupper i Sverige är väletablerad. Den aktuella studien undersökte effekten av patienters socioekonomiska status (SES) och etnicitet på psykiatriska bedömningar. Studien utfördes med ett vinjettbaserat experiment där 188 läkar- och psykologstudenter blev randomiserade till en av fyra betingelser och fick läsa två vinjetter Inequality in health between different ethnic and socioeconomic groups in Sweden has been well established. The present study sought to investigate the effect of patient ethnicity and socioeconomic status (SES) on psychiatric assessments. The study was carried out using a vignette-based experiment in which 188 medical and clinical psychology students were randomized into one of four conditions and

This research aims to fill the lacuna in the literature concerning the application of ecovillage praxis in spaces other than intentional communities by focusing on urban community gardens (UCGs) in Malmö, Sweden, as communities of practice where this could be integrated. It introduces both ecovillages and UCGs, as well as their associated praxis. Data was gathered about the first using semi-struct

Utsatta EU-medborgare som befinner sig i Sverige får sina grundläggande mänskliga rättigheter kränkta. På grund av fattigdom, diskriminering och marginalisering har utsatta EU-medborgare, de flesta romer, kommit till Sverige för att söka försörjning. FN har uttryckt en stor oro över situationen och behandlingen av utsatta EU-medborgare i Sverige. Syftet med den här uppsatsen är att undersöka hur Vulnerable EU-citizens’ basic human rights are being violated today in Sweden. Due to poverty, discrimination and marginalization vulnerable EU-citizens, most of whom identify as Roma, have come to Sweden to find self-provision. The UN have expressed great concern over the situation and treatment of vulnerable EU-citizens in Sweden. The purpose of this essay is to examine how vulnerable EU-citize

Empowerment, and particularly women’s empowerment, has become a catchphrase in the development industry over the past decades. The concept of women’s empowerment was developed by critical feminists largely originated in the West, which has raised several questions about how women’s empowerment translates across different cultures and contexts. This study intends to contribute cumulatively to the u

Det finns ett brett forskningsunderlag som talar för lukt som en effektiv minnesledtråd för att bättre återkalla tidigare inkodad information och minnen. Lukt kan även fungera som en minnesledtråd för att återskapa samma kontextuella förutsättningar som vid inkodningstillfället. Mycket forskning tyder även på att människor kommer ihåg händelserelaterad information lättare än detaljinformation. StuThere is a broad research base that speaks for odor as an effective memory cue to better recall of previously encoded information and memories. Furthermore, odor can act as a memory cue to recreate the same contextual conditions as at the time of encoding. Research also suggests that people remember action-related information more easily than detailed information. The study examined whether physic

In order to stay globally competitive, the European Union is in the process of transforming into a data economy. Therefore, the European Commission has published its Strategy on Data in order to address this macro development. Further, the private sector directly affected by policies has its own strategy to address this issue. One particular initiative, GAIA-X, envisions a European federation of c

According to the literature, there is a gap between national environmental goals and the policies implemented at local governmental level. This study examines whether this environmental implementation gap exists and how it may be bridged through a constructionist lens. Through doing intense research and interviewing local governmental officials working with implementation of the environmental goal

The climate change is affecting small island developing states to the amount that the surface of Tuvalu might disappear and the country therefore risk to lose its sovereignty (Pacific Small Island Developing State 2009, p. 10-12). By investigating environmental security through climate displacement this thesis will conduct a case study of Tuvalu. The theory of ecofeminism and intersectionality wil

Developments in mobile technologies and social networks promote the mushrooming of self-presentation practices in virtual space, stimulating individuals to create idealized self-images and maintain desired social impressions. Posting fitness selfies is a popular mode of selectively constructing visual self-presentation in the fitness culture and digital age. Previous studies have demonstrated that

The famous problem of Canadian Literature in the contemporary critical landscape is how it, as an institution, denies all but certain kinds of identities. Alexander Beecroft suggests that a national literature, through its attempts to locate and articulate a communal identity and a notion of fellow-feeling, curates characteristics among members of previously numerous groups which can function to d
