Sorgenfrei-Tornquistzonen har sedan slutet av Paleozoikum undergått upprepade deformationsfaser, både extensiva och kompressiva som resulterat i omfattande blockförkastningar och bassänginversion. Detta har skapat en mycket uppsprucken berggrund som med tiden läkts av olika mineral. Denna studie presenterar en inventering av sprickmineralen i Dalby stenbrott i Skåne, var bergartsprover har samlatsThe Sorgenfrei-Tornquist zone has, since the late Paleozoic, undergone repeted periods of deformation, both extensive and compressive which have resulted in comprehensive block faulting and basin inversion. These factors have created a highly fractured bedrock that has healed of various minerals along the tectonic evolution. This study presents an inventory of fracture minerals in Dalby quarry in

The aim of this thesis is to investigate the Canadian government’s stance on addressing the issue of missing and murdered Indigenous women, and to perform an analysis of ongoing violence and asymmetric conflict in Indigenous-Government of Canada relations. The Canadian government’s approach in regards to holding a national inquiry into the issue of missing and murdered Indigenous women in Canada w

This bachelor’s thesis has focuses on the internal hierarchies of gender within the gay, male, community. Based on interviews with young gay men in Sweden, I explore the way that we (for I situate myself in the studied field) feel, experience and relate to concepts of masculinity, femininity and desire. From this I conclude that the position of negotiation with hegemonic masculinity is one of prec

Fifteen years after the adoption of UNSCR 1325, the resolution and its effects remains contested. Sweden, a champion of gender equality, was one of the first countries to adopt a National Action Plan and is now leading the push for worldwide implementation of UNSCR 1325. At the front of Sweden’s internationalist efforts is the Swedish Armed Forces (SAF). Internally, the SAF acts to be a gender equ

The aim of this paper is to examine how statements about voluntary childlessness are being contrasted to normative ideals of parenting. What constitutes the empirical material is a discussion forum on the Swedish website Familjeliv.se in which members interact with each other over different topics related to family, including voluntary childlessness. By using discourse analysis in two steps I firs

Singapore and Finland, despite having very different approaches to basic education, both perform highly in standardized testing and are respected internationally for their education systems. This paper takes a policy-planning view in analysing what makes these systems tick, looking specifically for similarities in these contrasting systems, or a “different process same outcome” approach. This mean

Jag startade projektet med en öppen frågeställning med avsikt att undersöka väggen ur ett industridesignperspektiv. Väggen skapar rum och en av dess funktioner är att avskärma oss från ljud. Idag ställs det högre krav på akustiken i ett rum då det är allt vanligare med öppna planlösningar. Jag valde att studera olika typer av platser där människor samverkar i en öppen miljö och avgränsade projekte

The ‘superman’ does not simply carry the accustomed drives and strivings of the customary type of man beyond all measures and bounds. Superman is a qualitatively, not quantitatively, different form of existing man. The thing that the superman discards is precisely our boundless, purely quantitative non-stop progress. The superman is poorer, simpler, tenderer and tougher, quieter and more self-sacr

This thesis studies the long-run performance of IPOs. In addition, it differentiates between family firms and non-family firms. The long-run performance is tested on listings on Nasdaq OMX Stockholm over a period from 1997 to 2011. The sample consists of 100 firms, whereas 39 firms are classified as family firms. To test the long-run IPO performance, buy-and-hold abnormal return over a three year

Syftet med den här uppsatsen är att skapa förståelse för medlemmarnas kommunikativa funktioner i ett oetablerat politiskt parti och hur dessa funktioner kan användas i partiets arbete med strategisk kommunikation. Vidare behandlar uppsatsen hur oetablerade partier kan arbeta och ta tillvara på de interna resurserna för att nå sina mål. Uppsatsen grundar sig i en fallstudie av det politiska partiet

Bakgrund: Många barn upplever våld i sina familjer i vårt land. Upplevelser av våld kan leda till psykisk ohälsa. De anmälningar som görs till socialtjänsten utreds men leder sällan till insatser. Utredarna inom socialtjänsten är nyckelpersoner för att upptäcka dessa barn så att de får stöd, behandling och psykoterapi. Syfte: Att genom en enkätundersökning ta reda på vad utredare inom socialtjänstBackground: It is a fact that some children experience domestic violence in our country. The experience of violence is a severe threat towards children development and mental health. Further reports made to the social Services which lead to an actual social investigation of the child’s wellbeing seldom result in that proper treatment take place. The social service investigators are the key to pay

In this work, spatially resolved localized surface plasmons (LSPs) in individual silver nanocubes and nanoellipsoids are imaged with a photoemission electron microscope (PEEM). Using broadband laser pulses with photon energies below the work function threshold of the material, multiphoton photoemission (MPPE) processes coupled to the LSPs governs the strong enhancement of the plasmonic near-field

The diploma work is partly a collaboration with the Swedisch furniture company IKEA. The task has been to develop a childrens bed with the aim to fulfil the need for compact solutions in childrens rooms, encourage childrens development and incorporate play. The result has become two parallel concepts, where one has taken guidelines from IKEA´s way of working with product development, its restrict

Kvinnas roll i samhället har historiskt genomgått en stor förändring, från att ansvara över hushållet till att etablera sig på arbetsmarknaden. Föräldraförsäkringen infördes år 1974 med syfte att möjliggöra för främst kvinnor att kombinera arbetsliv med familjebildning. Mäns uttag av föräldraförsäkringen har sedan införandet ökat, men fördelningen är fortfarande långt ifrån jämn. Kvinnor tar ut ma

This thesis investigates the importance of scale for power dynamics in the negotiation of risks connect-ed to Urban Rivers in Nairobi, Kenya. In addition to unequal distribution of wealth, global inequalities in the distribution of risk become increasingly important. Scale as a significant dimension of inequality is discussed in the context of Nairobi’s urban, as water scarcity and flooding events

This thesis aims to test and evaluate the use of image-based 3D modelling techniques on rune stones. To test the method a well-documented rune stone was chosen, Hyby stone 1. The stone has been dated to the Viking Age and contains 37 runes, whereof 29 are still visible, two crosses and a stag. These carvings have been detected by other scholars with the use of non-digital methods. In order to eval

Self-compassion has not yet been studied in younger children. The aim of this study was to explore self-compassion in children between 10-13 years of age and examine how self-compassion is related to well-being and social perspective-taking. In addition we wanted to explore possible age or sex differences in self-compassion. The participants consisted of 228 children from two elementary schools in

Under de senaste 20 åren har alltfler människor vänt sig till Internet för att leta efter en kärlekspartner. Syftet med denna uppsats är att analysera nätdejtingens inverkan på individen och på dennes förhållande. Mina huvudfrågor är: Vad innebär ett konsumistiskt förhållningssätt för intima relationer? Vilken inverkan har fenomenet online-dejting på den traditionella uppfattningen om partnerskap?

Talented employees are important for companies, and graduate programs are designed to internal educate talented students to make them a strong resource for the company. A problem is that trainees tend to leave the company after the program. This master thesis investigates how trainees become motivated, during and after the program, to retain within the company and where the perceived expectation g
