The understanding of development is changing over time. It came a long way from a simple vision of economic progress to the contemporary human-centred perspective. However, the majority of research on institutional impacts continues to focus exclusively on the economic sphere. Thus, I decided to adopt this theoretical concept in a modern, human-oriented framework and analyse how government quality

India's open prisons offer an innovative method of confinement by giving some prisoners more freedom and chances for rehabilitation. However, little is known about how individuals who are directly involved, such as detainees, their families, and prison staff, see these jails.

Trots den överväldigande kritiken riktad mot svensk häktesverksamhet, kvarstår en brist på forskning inom området. För att utforska området syftar därmed denna studie till att undersöka muntliga framställningar om samspel, kultur och roller bland svenska kriminalvårdare med hjälp av följande forskningsfrågor: 1. Hur beskriver kriminalvårdare samspel under den dagliga verksamheten i relation till k

They are present in all types of stellar populations, such as open clusters, globular clusters, dwarf galaxies, and even in the open field. It is believed that they form mai

This project investigates the possibility of using material thickness measurements of pressed stainless steel (316L) and titanium (grade 1) sheet metal to evaluate material formabil- ity. The ultimate goal of this project is to replace the current subjective visual material formability evaluation with an objective method. This project attempts to build relation- ships between material surface defe

Psykologisk trygghet definieras av Edmondson (1999) som ett beteende där anställda känner sig bekväma med att tala ut, dela med sig av nya idéer och kritik, samt ta risker utan rädsla för vedergällning. Vi har identifierat två kunskapsluckor där ytterligare forskning inom psykologisk trygghet behövs: psykologisk trygghet kopplat till individers allmänna välmående samt bristen av representation inoPsychological safety is defined by Edmondson (1999) as a behavior in which the employees feel comfortable speaking out, sharing new ideas and criticism, as well as taking new risks without the fear of retribution.

I takt med att den förväntade livslängden ökar ställs nya krav på arbetsmarknaden. För få personer ska försörja vår äldre befolkning och för att lösa detta måste vi arbeta till en högre ålder. Chefer har en avgörande roll och därför har denna studie syftat till att undersöka chefers attityder mot sina äldre arbetstagare, samt hur de ser på möjligheter till ett förlängt arbetsliv. Syftet var även aAs life expectancy increases, new demands are placed on the labor market. There are too few people to support our aging population, and to address this issue, we need to work until an older age. Managers play a crucial role, which is why this study aimed to examine managers' attitudes toward their older employees and their views on opportunities for extended working lives. The aim was also to

Averages of proper scoring rules are often used to rank probabilistic forecasts. In many cases, the individual terms in these averages are based on observations and forecasts from different distributions. We show that some of the most popular proper scoring rules, such as the continuous ranked probability score (CRPS), give more importance to observations with large uncertainty, which can lead to

Research shows that young people within ethnic minorities are subjected to police control more often than others, which seems to have a damaging effect on their trust in the police as well as on their wider sense of belonging. What is less often researched is how these young people deal with being over-policed.

I den här uppsatsen undersöker jag hur tingsrätter producerar positionerna offer och gärningsperson i våldtäktsmål. Mitt huvudsakliga fokus är att undersöka hur språket förmedlar verkligheten, och hur juridik och samhälle samspelar. Genom en kartläggning av gällande rätt och studier av doktrin blir det tydligt att bestämmelsen om våldtäkt förändrats en hel del sedan den infördes, men att många In this essay, I examine how district courts produce the position of victim and perpetrator in rape cases. My main focus is to investigate how language conveys reality, and how law and society interact. By a study of current law and doctrine, it’s clear to see that the provision on rape has changed a lot since it was introduced, but that many perceptions of rape still thrives. It’s also possib
