Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka vad sociala nätverk, sociala relationer och ideella föreningar har för betydelse för ensamkommande unga från Afghanistan. Utifrån de fem semistrukturerade intervjuerna jag genomfört, kommer uppsatsen undersöka betydelsen av sociala nätverk för informanterna och hur olika sociala nätverk påverkar dennes sociala kapital. Materialet analyseras utifrån Pierre BourThe aim of this thesis is to understand what social networks, social relations and non-profit associations are of importance to unaccompanied minors from Afghanistan. Five unaccompanied minors were interviewed to be able to investigate the importance of social networks. Furthermore, the thesis focuses to answer the question, how social networks affects these individual’s social capital. The materi

Bakgrund: Övervikt och fetma är folkhälsoproblem och kirurgisk behandling av fetma har ökat och även andelen kvinnor som blir gravida efter genomgången operation. Det är idag inte helt klarlagt hur kirurgisk behandling av fetma påverkar en graviditet och det nyfödda barnet. Kunskapen kring hur en gastric bypass påverkar kvinnans upplevelse av graviditeten är också begränsad. För att kunna ge optim

The aim of this Master’s thesis is to analyse the discourse of accessibility at the Regional Archives in Lund. The focal point of the study is the interaction between the archivist and the user of the archival records, which stems from questions regarding how archival records are mediated in the dialogue between the archivist and the user, and if the archive’s construct of access is perceived as a

Inför kommande val rankas hälso- och sjukvårdsfrågorna som den viktigaste av väljarna. Problem som vårdköer, resursproblem och arbetsvillkor är några av de problem som lyfts fram som de viktigaste att åtgärda. Från medialt håll ligger fokus framförallt på vad de menar är en kraftig brist på sjuksköterskor. Samtidigt har antalet läkare ökat betydligt under en längre period. Från vårdens sida har my

The digitalization of the Swedish public sector has led to new responsibilities for the Swedish National Archives, Riksarkivet. This study investigates the Swedish National archives’ responsibility regarding the common specifications also known as CS. CS are, in short, standardization requirements for transcription metadata in the context of e-archives. The purpose of this thesis is to make visibl

Helpers in distress: a quantitative study of exposure to threats and violence among social workers exercising public authority The aim of this study was to examine the exposure to work-related threats and violence among social workers exercising public authority. More specifically, its purpose was to identify differences between various areas such as welfare service or elderly care, and also expl

En webbenkät utformades i syfte att göra en explorativ studie om hur män som lever i samkönad relation ser på sina olika alternativ till att bli föräldrar samt hur de kan förstås. Med olika alternativ till att bli föräldrar gavs fem alternativ; adoption, surrogatmödraskap/värdmödraskap, med lesbisk kvinna, med hetero-/bisexuell kvinna samt med samkönat par. Sammanlagt var det 24 män som besvarade An online survey was designed to explore how men living in a same-sex-relationship assess different alternatives to become parents and how the alternative can be understandable. With different alternatives to parenthood, five options are emphasized; adoption, surrogate, with lesbian woman, with heterosexual / bisexual woman and with same-sex couples. A total of 24 responses were analysed:eight men

A large number of forest fires occurred in Sweden during the summer 2018 on a total area of 21 000 hectares. Between 300 and 500 residents were evacuated from their home due to these fires. This situation was unfamiliar in Sweden at the time, and the routines for dealing with such crisis were challenged. This thesis aimed to investigate the communication and information strategies, the evacuation

This master's thesis involves design and implementation of an infrared link between an air diffuser and a Palm handheld computer. The diffuser, IDCC (Intelligent Diffuser for Climate Control), is developed by LindinVent AB. The application can download current controller variables and parameters and send new parameters to the diffuser. For adjusting parameters on the Palm an intuitive graphica

Communication delays in real time systems cause detoriation of the control performance of the closed loop system. To investigate this problem a process with varying delay is studied. Control of a motor in presence of delays is studied for different delay models. Design equations are derived based on polynomial design. The design depends on the designer's choices, i.e. desired closed-loop behav

In this report the setting of parameters for the stabilizers in power systems are discussed. This tuning should be done in a systematic way, and the method proposed here is based on optimization. Different problem formulations involving settling times, stabilizer gains, damping and rise time are used.

Different models of heat load in a district heating system at Karlstad have been tested. The input of the model contains one climatic dependent part and a profile which depends on time. The climatic inputs are outdoor temperature, solar intensity and wind velocity. The profile tries to describe the consumption of hot water. This model has later been used to predict the heat load for one or a few h
