Sammanfattning De senaste åren har Sverige fått kritik från flera internationella organ angående situationen för frihetsberövade barn och i synnerhet de restriktioner som majoriteten av dem har, vilket ofta medför isolering. Häktade barn befinner sig mitt i inledande rättsprocess samtidigt som de befinner sig i denna isolering. Detta påverkar naturligtvis deras deltagande i rättsprocessen. FN:s koSummary Over the past few years, several international bodies has criticised Sweden regarding the situation children in custody face, with special concern about the restrictions, including isolation, that the majority of the children have to endure.

I samhällsdebatten talas det ofta om jämställdhet i arbetslivet och om jämställdhet i familjen. Den här uppsatsen gör en ansats att förena de två perspektiven. Jobba jäm(n)t? – uppsatsens titel – är en anspelning på frågeställningar om ett jämställt arbetsliv men är även en kritisk ingång till om det generella arbetstidsmått vi har i Sverige idag är det optimala och hur det påverkar jämställdhetenEquality of opportunity between men and women, either in working or in family life, is a frequent topic of public debate. This essay is an attempt to combine the two perspectives, and scrutinizes whether the general workday schedule in Sweden influences gender equality in general. Questions raised are: Who is working all the time? How is the distribution of paid work and unpaid work at home betwee

A ubiquitous and accurate positioning system for mobile devices is of great importance both to business and research due to the large number of applications and services it enables. In most outdoor environments this problem was solved by the introduction of the Global Positioning System (GPS). In indoor or suburban areas however, the GPS signals are often too weak to enable a reliable position est

One proposed way of doing this is by having vehicles travelling at close distances to reduce the air drag, and thereby reducing their fuel consumption. This thesis address the platooning problem on model-scale vehicles as they are a desirable demonstration platform since they can be driven

Svensk populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning Fjärranalys av skogsskövling längs med den trans-amzoniska motorvägen Skogsskövling är ett av de större miljöproblemen vi har idag. Speciellt snabb har skövlingen varit i Amazonas regnskog, där minst tjugo procent försvunnit de senaste 40 åren. Fjärranalys används för att uppskatta skogsskövling längs med den transamazoniska motorvägen (BR230). Analysen utDeforestation is one of the biggest environmental challenges today. Especially severe has the deforestation of the Amazon rainforest been where at least 20% has been cleared the last 40 years. A time series analysis of deforestation rates between 1984 and 2013 has been performed on several sites close to the Trans-Amazonian highway BR230 in the Amazon and Para states. This is done by applying a su

Syftet med studien var att undersöka hur nyanställda upplever att en offentlig organisation arbetar för att attrahera och behålla sina medarbetare, utifrån ett employer branding-perspektiv. Även en jämförelse genomfördes för att ta reda på om organisationens profil stämmer överens med vad nyanställda i denna organisation anser om sin arbetsgivare.
