Arbetar samhällsviktiga verksamheter gemensamt för att hantera samhällets sårbarheter? När en händelse såsom då en storm sker, kan de allra flesta se hur sårbart samhället är och hur lätt ett problem hos en verksamhet snabbt sprider sig till andra verksamheter i samhället. Hur arbetar aktörer gemensamt för att hantera detta? Vi är många som har vaknat upp en morgon och sett att vägarna ligger vThe objective of this thesis is to provide answers to how a method can be designed to gain better knowledge of how collaboration looks between different critical societal activities in a preparing and preventive stage related to the management of transboundary risks. The designed method consists of two parts; a technique for data acquisition, and a method for data analysis. In order to evaluate th

The aim of this thesis is to examine if fiction books can be used as a support for young adults in families where one of the parents suffer from mental illness. I have used a qualitative method and have made a content analysis on five fiction books for young adults. The fiction books were found on a list of book recommendations published on Psykiatri Skåne’s webpage dedicated for relatives of peop

Den moderna partikelfysiken är utan tvekan en av männsklighetens största triumfer hittils. Sedan dess begynnelse i slutet på 1900-talet har partikelfysiker världen över lyckats skapa det mest uttömmande svaret på frågan vad allting består av. Det sista stora hålet som fanns kvar i den så kallade Standardmodellen var partikeln som förklarar hur de andra partiklarna får sin massa, Higgspartikeln, upA hypertest-algorithm, the BUMPHUNTER, is introduced briefly and tested by probing events containing muons in 8 TeV datasets from the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN against a background spectrum created by selecting muons from different collisions. The hypertest looked for excesses of same sign di-muon pairs which could indicate the existence of a Majorana neutrino. The

Information är en värdefull tillgång, och att garantera dess säkerhet är en konstant utmaning för alla inblandade. Nuförtiden säljs det fler avancerade mobila enheter än datorer per år, men säkerheten i dessa enheter släpar efter jämfört med säkerheten som erbjuds för datoranvändare. Syftet med denna uppsats är att ta reda på hur medvetna användare är kring säkerhetsrisker som berör mobila enheter

The aim of our study was to examine how staff, working with unaccompanied refugee children experience their work and the children’s integration to the society. Many previous studies in the same field have often focused on the young refugees, how they perceive their situation and how they perceive the integration work. Our study is based on a qualitative research strategy and we used semi-structure

The purpose of this study is to examine how outreach workers create professional relationships with youngsters. The result was based on six professional outreach workers. The results were presented in the form of four individual interviews and one group interview. The theoretical framework of the study was the theory of communication and the theory of “the different levels of professional meetings

Trots det väldiga överflöd av forskning som finns om organisationsförändring är det idé att börja titta på förändring ur ett mer långsiktigt perspektiv. Detta mot bakgrund av den tidigare forskningen som konstaterar att omkring 70 procent av alla förändringsinitiativ som görs misslyckas. Därför är det väsentligt att förstå förändring och dess implementeringssvårigheter på en djupare dimension. Den

The aim of this study was to investigate whether students in the field of social work assess symptoms of depression and suicidal ideation differently, depending on the age of the client. A case vignette method was used where social work students in Lund (N=102) and Helsingborg (N=71) responded to one of two online questionnaires each. The case vignette featured a 78 year old client for the student

Endometriosis is a chronic gynecological illness affecting 10% of all women in childbearing age, 200 000 of them in Sweden, causing abdominal inflammation and adhesion formation, all of which inflicts pain. It affects every aspect of a woman’s life, not the least psychologically, leading to anxiety, depression and decreased function and decreased quality of life. This online survey explored what p

This work investigates how the heat produced by a solar dryer can improve the drying process of newly developed breathable membrane bags for drying and thus preserving fruits in developing countries and the increased efficiency of the process. For that purpose, a solar dryer was built and tested in an indoor solar simulator with similar irradiation as the sun. Due to a limited time span, only one

This essay will explore which social and cultural mechanisms that legitimatize a group of people to commit genocide by discussing the terms “victimization” and “de-humanization”. The essay starts with a research on the term “genocide”, specifically which groups that are, or are not, protected under the Genocide Convention and moves on to Stuart Kaufmans “symbolic politics theory” to discuss how po

Abstract: China’s development today no doubt has had the country placed in the centre of the stage. However, the past turns out to be the opposite if we look back. While the other major countries stepped into the industrial era it seems like China was still napping with its daydreams. In this paper we dig deeply into the political, economic and social aspects of the country at the time and we thin

The purpose of this study was to understand the relationship between poverty and crime, and what role poverty plays in relation to traditional crime from the perspective of ex-criminals. Eight semi-structured life story interviews were conducted in the southern county of Skane, with recently desisted and rehabilitated men. The age span was broad, ranging from 32 to 63 years of age. All interviewee

Från förbränning av industri- och hushållsavfall erhålls bland annat restprodukten slagg, vilket är bottenaskan från förbränningen. Varje år skapas stora volymer både i Sverige och i övriga Europa. Den naturliga processen karbonatisering, vilken involverar en reaktion mellan luftens koldioxid och kalcium i materialet, startar då slagg efter förbränning kommer i kontakt med luft. Karbonatiseringen From incineration of industrial- and household waste bottom ash is generated. A large volume of bottom ash is generated yearly in both Sweden and Europe. The natural carbonation process, which involves a reaction between carbon dioxide and calcium in the material, is initiated when the bottom ash reaches contact with air. The carbonation binds carbon dioxide to the bottom ash, decreases the pH and

This thesis examines the ejido system in Mexico in order to understand the dynamics of land tenure, governance and transaction costs through the lens of Elinor Ostrom’s theory of good governance. This case of the ejido system was chosen as their constitution that enabled a communal access land tenure regime in the agricultural sector, was amended to allow for privatization. The ejido serves as a p

This is an ethnographic study on how refugees and policies on asylum and immigration was debated on Facebook in Sweden during the so called ‘refugee crisis’. This study analysed the relation between the Facebook debate, and the way news media framed the ‘refugee crisis’ during three months in which Swedish asylum policy changed drastically: September 2015, November 2015 and January 2016. In Septem

Uppsatsens syfte är att undersöka maktrelationers påverkan vid kriser och samhällstörningar med särskilt fokus på hur detta framställs i utvärderingar av samhällets insatser vid kriser och samhällsstörningar. Det empiriska materialet består av två utvärderingar, dels utvärderingen efter skogsbranden i Västmanland 2014 (Sjökvist 2015) och dels utvärderingen efter helikopterrånet i Stockholm 2009 (R
