Case management is an intervention and a profession (case manager or personal representative) in Sweden, working with clients with mental disabilities and/or severe substance abuse problems. When established here in 1995 it relied on research from other countries and thus on other legislative regulations and local social situations. Moreover, theNational Board of Health and Welfare'slatest fol
Within the international human right law scholarship and philosophy of human rights, there is no clear picture how human rights, old and new, emerge from the ground, from the small idea that a new human right is needed. There is no theory why and how human rights emerge, as well as there is no methodology how the idea could come through the process of development, then emerge as a human right in t
The concepts of “Judeo-Bolshevism” (used between approx. 1917-1945) and “Cultural Marxism” (used 1973-today) seem to have a lot in common: both are derogatory concepts used to classify the political opponent. This thesis aims to create a first insight into the meaning of the concepts of Judeo-Bolshevism and Cultural Marxism and the relation between them, with methods derived from Conceptual Histor
This thesis centers on the continued participation and agency of women in Sweden within the International Society for Krishna Consciousness, or ISKCON, despite its direct culture clash with Nordic egalitarian policy. While also addressing the translation of religious belonging into an identity given the increased interaction with the surrounding secular environment of Sweden. The motivation behind
Jane Austen is a well-known author, particularly within feminist literary history as her texts often included the lives of young women. The protagonists of Austen’s novels have often been the subject of analysis regarding how the author argued about women’s position in society however the minor characters are seldom discussed. In this essay I discussed whether or not her minor female characters ca
I en samtid där akademisk prestation är en allt viktigare aspekt för framtida framgång blir det angeläget att veta vilka faktorer som kan inverka på det. Anknytning har visat sig ha en väsentlig roll i vår utveckling och därav väcks frågeställningen kring vilken betydelse anknytning har för akademisk prestation. I den här systematiska narrativa kunskapsöversikten har vi granskat och eftersökt redaIn a time where academic achievement is a key factor for future success, the importance of knowing which factors have an impact on achievement is crucial. Parent-child attachment has shown to have an essential role in our development and therefore the question of which role attachment has on academic achievement is awoken. In this systematic narrative review we have examined and sought after exist
Collecting and storing data is easier and more common than ever before. A lot of this data is personal data, which is problematic to store and use both for ethical reasons and because of legislations. In some scenarios the personal information in the data is not interesting or relevant for the given task but it is still collected and stored as a byproduct of the data collection. In these scenarios
This thesis examines the narrative of estrangement in Theodor Kallifatides autobiography Ett nytt land utanför mitt fönster. He presents his thoughts on an estrangement that comes with having to move to a new country and learn a new language. The autobiographical text, which constitutes the primary research material, is analytically scrutinized via a thematic narrative analysis. In other words, th
Pålning är en typ av grundläggning lämplig för att grundlägga broar vid svaga markförhållanden. Att manuellt utforma en pålgrupp är en iterativ, tidskrävande process där snittkrafterna i pålarna måste verifieras för ett stort antal lastfall. Efter installationen kan pålarna dessutom ha nya positioner och kapaciteten måste verifieras igen. I detta projekt utvecklades en mjukvara för att automatiserFor bridges in weak ground conditions, piling is an appropriate type of foundation. To manually arrange the piles in a pile group is an iterative, time consuming process where the section forces in the piles must be verified for a large number of load cases. In addition, after installation, piles may have new positions and the capacity must be re-verified. In this thesis, a software was developed
Grain boundary diffusion in polycrystals is of importance in industrial applications as it often, to a large degree, dictates the effective rate of diffusion in polycrystals. For impurity diffusion the enrichment of impurities within the material will in turn change the material properties, such as ductility and fatigue rates. It is therefor beneficial to be able to quantify the effect of the grai

This thesis looks at the activist resistance in Yucatán from the perspective of theories of Buen Vivir and Degrowth. Based on a critique of mega-projects, economic growth and development, as well as a theoretical explanation of resistance in the Global South and its links to Buen Vivir and Degrowth, this research explores how mega-projects in Yucatán have existed since the age of henequen, during
What If is a conceptual and speculative design project aimed to fuel discussions and physicalise debates regarding our relationship to the world around us. The environment we have created is characterised by constant growth and an endless stream of information. Our human senses are made for a completely different kind of life and the natural evolution has no chance against the technological. It’s
This qualitative study is examining the reasons behind the mass migration of Bulgarian citizens from Stolipinovo to Germany and the city of Duisburg in particular. The research is conducted using ethnographic approach together with carrying out interviews with the focus group – EU migrants from that area. It further examines how this process is facilitated and what kind of organisations stay behin
The world population is continuously growing and will have to be fed. To keep pace with the increasing demand, multiple innovations have been implemented in agriculture during the last decades. The main bottleneck remains the global photosynthetic productivity. The efficiency of photosynthesis is limited, inter alia, by the fixation of CO2 via Ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (RuBis
The EU is accused of having a democratic deficit and one of the reasons for that is the low number of turnouts in democratic elections and referendums. Voter turnout is oneof democracy’s most important indicators of health as it shows to whatextent voters practice their democratic right in a representative democracy. Voter participation is thus an accept of the rules of the representative democrac
Studien syftar till att undersöka hur el- och kontrabaslärare i gymnasieskolan arbetar för att väcka och bibehålla motivation hos sina elever. Jag har valt att göra denna studie då jag sett och upplevt att elevers motivation påverkar undervisningen i hög grad. I studien intervjuas fyra el- och kontrabaslärare om vilka faktorer som de beskriver är betydelsefulla för elevers motivation och hur de arThe study aims to investigate how electric and double bass teachers in Swedish gymnasium work to inspire and maintain student’s motivation. I have chosen to do this study because I have seen and experienced that student’s motivation affects the teaching to a great extent. In the study four electric and double bass teachers are interviewed. The focus of the interviews is to see which factors the te
