The risk analysis was conducted with a preliminary hazard analysis, PHA and event trees. The analysis focuses only on the risk posed to employees and material damages at the plant.

This paper aims to present a theoretical understanding of the emergence of extreme right- wing populist parties (ERP), and more specifically the electoral breakthrough of the ERP party, Sverigedemokraterna in the municipality of Karlskrona. By doing so the study is constructed as a theoretical framework, where the empirical material and the theoretical aspects are interwoven. This means that the t

Denna undersökning syftar till att studera Kinas allt tilltagande engagemang i Afrika, genom att titta på utbytet med Zimbabwe som ett empiriskt fall. Kinas växande industri har fått landet att söka förbindelser för att säkra det kontinuerliga flöde av råvaror som måste till för att trygga behovet. Zimbabwe besitter liksom många delar av den afrikanska kontinenten ansenliga mängder outnyttjade nat

Since the end of the Cold War, foreign aid donors have been using political conditionality to promote human rights, democracy and good governance in recipient countries. This phenomenon has been analyzed and criticized, but mainly from a strictly empirical point of view. In this paper, the legitimacy of political conditionality is analyzed through a normative perspective based on the extrinsic val

The aim of this thesis is to study why Swedish authorities do organizational changes. Two organizations are analyzed; The Swedish Tax Agency (Skatteverket) and the National Statistics Office of Sweden (Statistiska centralbyrån). A qualitative method, consisting mainly of interviews with key officials, is employed to study two aspects of organizational change: first, the main reasons for changing t

Malmö stads jämställdhetsarbete har, liksom mångfaldsarbetet, pågått under en lång tid. I en stad som Malmö där det finns många olika nationaliteter är mångfaldsarbetet och integrationsfrågan extra viktig. Intersektionalitet skulle kunna vara ett perspektiv som möjligen kunde påskynda och förbättra arbetet för allas jämlika värde. Genom att analysera Malmö stads jämställdhets- och mångfaldspl

Child soldiers are one of the major problems in modern society. In the case of northern Uganda, child soldiers (or formerly abducted children) have been used for decades in the conflict between the government and the rebel group the Lord's Resistance Army. Uganda is now facing a great challenge rehabilitating those children. The purpose of this study has been to describe and analyze the reinte

Working life is an arena that often reflects attitudes that already exist in our society. When alcohol- and drug abuse is detected among employees the employer has a statutory responsibility for rehabilitation. But the way how these employees gets to be treated is also influenced by attitudes. The purpose of this essay was to illustrate from a gender perspective how women's and men's alcoh

The purpose of this thesis is to examine the empowerment potential of non-member based development NGOs. I argue that there is a need to be more aware of the underlying concept of power when talking about empowerment to this end a framework for analysis, identifying different kinds of power is developed. The method used is a qualitative field study located in Bangladesh. Two organisations that co

This essay examines whether feminist theory can give a plausible answer to the question: does female and male students have different attitudes towards the labour market and towards wages? Further more, I examine if factors such as class and ethnicity affect student's attitudes. These questions are investigated through a quantitative study of students at four educations on two different univer

Problem/Bakgrund: Snedrekryteringen till universitet och högskolor, utifrån klass, har endast förändrats marginellt de senaste decennierna. Trots politiska reformer är arbetarklassen fortfarande underrepresenterad. Syfte: Syftet har varit att beskriva och förklara hur individer med arbetarklassbakgrund upplever sitt val, möte och eventuella reproduktion av högre studier. Vidare har det varit att

Which general outlines are preferable in the relation between organizations and government? From normative theory and method I throw light upon this question by defining and comparing two different democratic standpoints. The substantial democratic standpoint focuses on political effectiveness and the procedural democratic standpoint focuses on equal representation. The normative discussion aims a

The purpose of our study was to examine 13 to 14 year olds experience of bullying from a perspective of human developmental ecological systems. The questions at issue were: How do the young people themselves define the concept of bullying? Which own experiences do the young people have of bullying? How come bullying exists according to the young people? How do the young people experience that thei

Konkurrens av privata aktörer på skolområdet verkar inte leda till ökad effektivitet, snarare tvärt om. Effekten på medelbetyg verkar vara marginell, samtidigt som de elever i en kommun som redan har svaga resultat drabbas negativt, och effekten i det sambandet kan växa över tid. De elever som drabbas behöver inte vara samma som går i friskolorna. Friskolor ser ut att ha en kostnadsdrivande effekt

Uppsatsen behandlar hypotesen om att mänskliga rättigheter blivit en normre-gim som kan utgöra en legitim grund för militärt våld. Genom att se på traditio-nella sätt (realistiska, folkrättsliga och teoritraditionen om rättfärdiga krig) att skapa legitimitet knyter vi an till den aktuella världssituationen där mänskliga rät-tigheter spelar en allt större roll. Uppsatsen diskuterar även vad mänskli

Efter Koalitionens ockupation av Irak i Mars 2003 har landets säkerhetssituation varit instabil och har idag utvecklats till ett lågintensivt inbördeskrig mellan olika befolkninggrupper. Redan i början av ockupationen började man rekrytera privata militära företag (PMF) för att hjälpa till att upprätta säkerhet i en skala som inte setts tidigare. Innan Irak var helt säkrat påbörjade Koalitionen, m

Järnvägen och dess moder industrialismen omformade Sverige från bondeland till industriland. Genom en förändring över endast ett 10-tal år ersattes de knaggliga vägarna och ett förlegat skjutsväsende med ett kommunikationsmedel som alla kunde resa och transportera varor med. Större delen av riket förvandlades på många vis av det nya kommunikationssättet. Även små bondbyar i Skåne blev i högsta gra
