Stigmatiseringen av psykiskt sjuka leder till diskriminering av och försämrad livskvalitet för dessa individer. Allmänheten har ofta en felaktig bild av individer som lider av en psykisk sjukdom, om uppkomsten till dessa sjukdomar samt hur dessa tar sig uttryck och kan behandlas. Det är inte sällan som dessa individer betraktas som farliga eller ansvariga för sitt sjukdomstillstånd och de undviks Stigmatization of mental illness leads to discrimination of and an impaired quality of life for these individuals. In general, people misrepresent individuals suffering from mental illness, the emergence, symptoms and effective treatment. Frequently, these individuals are misinterpreted as being dangerous or responsible for their own medical state and they are to a greater extent avoided by the pu

Affärssystemen har kommit att spela en allt mer central roll i många verksamheter de senaste decennierna, framför allt inom tillverkningsindustrin. Detta har också gjort att en allt större del utav företags IT-budgetar spenderas på dessa system. Investeringar i affärssystem är dock mycket svåra att utvärdera. En stor del utav de värden som affärssystem genererar är svåra att kvantifiera och uppska

The focus of this essay is the process of human self-identification in the human-cat relationship as narrated in On Cats by Doris Lessing. The concept of ‘narrative’, understood in the sense that it assigns meaning by connecting events and experiences, has allowed for an analysis of the meaningful connections in the interaction between the two species. By employing the philosophical term of ‘the O

Recent studies have paid strong attention to the field of brand extension, whilst comparatively limited research has focused on line extension and the reciprocal effects on the brand. Barely any attention has been paid to the effect of green product launches on brand evaluation in an automotive context or the influence of the actual awareness for the extensions. This thesis examines the role of Ne

Det svenska samhället har under längre tid sett ut så att skyddet för familjelivet, den privata sfären, vägt tyngre än ett offentligrättsligt styrande. Den rättsliga utvecklingen har dock under tid varit föränderlig och lagstiftaren har vägt in parametrar som att barn kan vara utsatta i familjelivet där de som skall ta hand om dem är de som utsätter barnen för skadliga handlingar. Enligt FN:s barnSwedish society has for some time looked to the protection of family life, private life, weighed heavier than a public ruling. The legal development, however, has been changing over time, and the legislature has weighed in parameters that children can be exposed in family life where those who must care for them are those who expose children to harmful acts. According to the UNCRC, the child's

Genom att framhäva de personliga fördelarna med att åka tåg och buss kan människor som vanligtvis åker bil få upp ögonen för dessa kollektiva transportmedel, vilket leder till minskade utsläpp av växthusgaser. Med mindre än 15 000 invånare är Åstorp en mindre kommun i nordvästra Skåne. I kommunen, som består av fyra tätorter, finns det två tågstationer och tjugotre busshållplatser. Trots de relatWith less than 15 000 inhabitants, Åstorp is a small municipality in the north west of Skåne. In the county there are two train stations and twenty-three bus stops.

Resilience, the ability to withstand or adapt to altered conditions, gets more important as the grave effects of climate change intensify. Individuals’ capacities to respond to disasters are strongly connected to their social capital (e.g. relationships and networks). The aim of this paper is to contribute to the understanding of this connection at a neighborhood level. In the first part of this p

Some practices are seen as so serious and damaging to competition that they are presumed to have restrictive effects on competition. Having a category of restrictions that are forbidden benefits both companies, as it creates legal certainty, and the Commission which would not not have to go through a burdensome investigation. In recent decades, the interpretation of restriction by object has cause

Justice, in the broadest sense of equality and fairness, is a cornerstone aspect of our abilities, as human beings, to lead individual lives in the way we choose according to what we see as the right or the good way to live. A catalyst for any debate over a theory of justice, Immanuel Kant’s work provides a fundamental basis from which we should begin to understand why society, with justice as a k
