In crisis, media plays an important role in connecting people, communicating information and assisting with potential new dimensions, designs and approach. Media representation holds key for ongoing rescue program and upcoming rebuilding program, especially in developing countries where no one knows when the real impact of disaster will come to an end. Moreover, people interest or participation in

In this thesis, I explore the bordering experiences of Syrians who frequently cross the border into Lebanon during the Syrian conflict. I draw on five in-depth interviews conducted in March 2018 to show how they live, understand and manipulate the border. Through a theoretically informed analysis, using the concepts of the social construction of reality (Berger and Luckmann), habitus (Bourdieu) an

Vid dimensionering av brandskyddet för en byggnad är utrymning en viktig aspekt. För att få en bild av hur utrymning sker i byggnader finns det en del simuleringsprogram till förfogande. Simuleringarna bygger på indata som användaren stoppar in i programmet och beroende på vilka värden som används kan resultatet variera. Thompson et al. (2015) förklarar att de värden på flöden som används idag saThe aim of this thesis is to investigate person density in relation to flow and speed in stairs and also how the different configurations affect the inter-person distance. This is done by observing people's movement in real environments. These observations were made at a staircase at Lindab Arena in Ängelholm on several occasions in the event that visitors were about to leave the arena after a

Det interna planerade mötet är en aktivitet av relevans inom organisationer i det avseende att det är ett medel för intern kommunikation och koordinering. Tiden organisationer spenderar på möten tycks även öka. Dock är forskningen om interna möten begränsad och den tidigare forskning som finns är i stor omfattning normativ och undersöker inte hur organisationer faktiskt ser på och arbetar med inte

This thesis aims to explore the transnational administrative structure in the Greek hotspots, exemplified in the hotspot Vial on the island Chios. The five Greek hotspots, all located on islands in the East-Aegean, serve as the implementation point of EU Commission`s hotspot approach as well as the EU-Turkey statement. It will be shown, that the Greek hotspots are administrated in a mode of joint

I den här studien undersökte vi om det fanns en skillnad i upplevd organisationstillhörighet beroende på vilken anställningsform den anställde hade på ett konsultföretag. Den första hypotesen syftade till att undersöka om det fanns en skillnad bland konsulterna i upplevd organisationstillhörighet utifrån typ av anställningsform (tillsvidareanställning och tidsbegränsad anställning). Den andra hypoWe investigated if organizational commitment at one consultancy firm differed depending on type of employment. The first hypothesis analyzed if organizational commitment differed among consultants due to type of employment (permanent and temporary employment). The second hypothesis explored if there was a difference in organizational commitment towards the consultancy firm among in-house employees

Sverige har idag ett system med en mycket stark presumtion för villkorlig frigivning efter två tredjedelar av avtjänat fängelsestraff. Enbart den intagnes skötsamhet under sin anstaltsvistelse kan läggas till grund för att den villkorliga frigivningen ska kunna skjutas upp. En majoritet av de svenska riksdagspartierna vill ändra eller avveckla systemet med villkorlig frigivning så som det ser ut iThe laws regarding parole in Sweden consists of mandatory release of a prisoner once two-thirds of their prison sentence has been served. It is only the behavior of the prisoner while in prison that can cause the parole to be declined and delayed. A majority of the Parliament parties in Sweden wants to change or remove the system of parole as it is today. It is mostly the question of whether or no

Hur allting började och stora ting har alltid fascinerat människor, och hur mycket större och "i början" blir det än i kosmologi, läran om universums födelse och utveckling? När universum var bara några minuter gammalt var det minst sagt ohyggligt varmt (miljoner grader!). Vi har hyfsad koll på vad som hände vid olika tidpunkter efter de första sekunderna, efter 3 minuter bildades det väThe purpose of this thesis is to study what effect a photon field has on the equations of motion and the decay of a charged scalar field in thermal equilibrium at finite temperature and outside of thermal equilibrium. To do this we calculate the two-particle irreducible effective action for the mean fields and propagators and derive their equations of motion. The functional representations of up t

Stora sektorsövergripande samverkansprojekt har blivit på modet vad gäller att komma tillrätta med ökad segregation inom svenska förorter. För att åstadkomma långsiktig systemförändring förespråkas en omvandling från projektbaserade arbetssätt till strategisk samverkan där förortssituationen möts i hela sin komplexitet. Dessa så kallade wicked problems, som karakteriseras av problemställningar utaCross sector collaborations with multiple stakeholders are on the rise when it comes to dealing with segregation in Swedish suburbs. To achieve long-term systemic change, project-based interventions are slowly giving way to joint initiatives of a more strategic character, which target the situation of the suburbs in all of their complexity. These so-called wicked problems, characterized by problem

This study questions the received wisdom that surviving Old Norse loanwords in modern Irish are fewer than 50 in number and are mostly shipping-related. The eventual goal is a complete survey of all Old Norse loanwords still “in common use in modern Irish” (Greene 1976: 80), since nothing of the sort has been found in the literature. In the interim, this study proposes a list of 67 words, extant i

Issue of Study: The case company, Metius, has difficulties in meeting its customers’ demands for delivery reliability due to issues in the final assembly process. A leading management control system linked to the company’s final assembly could allow the production management to act proactively and avoid more dissatisfied customers due to poor delivery reliability. Relevant literature gives little

In the budding yeast, S. cerevisiae, mitochondrial distribution involves movements of the organelle from the mother cell to the bud (anterograde movement) and from the bud to the mother (retrograde movement). Both types of movements require actin cables, dynamic bundles of F-actin filaments, which undergo continuous retrograde flow from the bud into the mother and provide tracks for mitochondrial

This essay explores two approaches to finding existential meaning in religion: either by an approach advocating feelings of mystery and sensuous immediacy, thus justifying an ineffability of mysterious experiences, or by an approach which advocates truth and objectivity. Although the latter approach views truth in existential terms (“existential truth”) it can be criticised for diminishing the “ma

This thesis is a study of development and international aid institutions and practices undertaken to give form and substance to international development as a cultural product. In a climate of changing policy priorities and the prospective loss of government backing for international development NGOs, this thesis uses applied cultural analysis to develop knowledge of the support network of NGO A,

I denna undersökning intervjuas fem personer med invandrarbakgrund för att med hjälp av deras egna berättelser identifiera och analysera situationer i vilka de tvingas att identifiera sig med kategorin invandrare. Undersökning har en mycket tydlig kvalitativ inriktning med djupa analyser av den empiri som frambringas av intervjuerna. Analyserna bygger dels på tidigare sociologisk litteratur som krMost immigrants in Sweden have experienced that individuals in their social environment sometimes remind them of their immigrant identity and background. It can be through a simple question about where they come from and the immigrants may feel that you want put them in a category as immigrants. It is situations like that, situations where individuals through different social acts remind persons w

Skydd på grund av en inre väpnad konflikt är en del av det gemensamma europeiska asylsystem som varit under utveckling sedan 1980-talet. De EU-rättsliga bestämmelser som idag reglerar sådant skydd återfinns i Skyddsgrundsdirektivets artiklar rörande alternativt skyddsbehövande. Skyddsgrundsdirektivets bestämmelser om skydd på grund av inre väpnad konflikt införlivades i svensk rätt genom lagändrinProtection from internal armed conflict is an integral part of the Common European Asylum System, as it has developed since the 1980s. The common European provisions governing such protection are found in the EU Qualification Directive, where they form part of what is labelled subsidiary protection. These provisions have been transposed into Swedish legislation by way of amendments to the Aliens A
