Läkemedelsassisterad rehabilitering vid opiatberoende (LARO) är i Sverige en kontroversiell behandlingsform. Tillgång till behandlingen har ökat under det senaste decenniet och idag erbjuder alla landsting LARO. Landstinget Blekinge är det sista landstinget som startade ett lokalt LARO-program. Denna fallstudie studerar den etableringsprocess som mynnade ut i en beroendeenhet som erbjuder LARO ino

This report contains the result of a survey made to investigate the social norms in collation to the law and its sentencing. Two crimes, rape and heavy tax crime were in focus and chosen based on its similar punishments and different victimization of the state and a rape victim.

Motivated by the increasing importance of today’s environmental issues as well as by the increasing concerns related to energy use, the study is intended to perform an energy intensity decomposition in order to analyze the effects of structural and technical changes on the energy patterns and in specific on the energy intensity of ten major developing countries in Asia and in Latin America. The ma

In this thesis we analyze the predictive power of various traditionally leading indicators of GDP-growth. We apply a dynamic panel data estimation approach and use variables categorized in to two groups; survey indicators and economic variables. The sample is transformed using a wavelet analysis to obtain the short-, medium- and long run impact of the variables. The results show that there are dif

In the present diploma project work, metal oxide semiconductor capacitors were fabricated on Silicon substrate. The oxide layer was formed by atomic layer deposition of high permittivity materials, HfO2 and Al2O3. The high-k films were grown using 65 ALD cycles at various deposition temperatures. For each deposition temperature, a series of samples were prepared using different precursor pulse len

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning Fenologi innebär studier av naturligt återkommande händelser som till exempel bladsprickning, knoppbristning och vissningen av blad. Det är viktigt att förstå hur klimatförändringen påverkar tidpunkten då dessa händelser sker eftersom det i sin tur påverkar kol-, närings- och den hydrologiska cykeln. Fältobservationer har varit den mest använda metoden för att saPhenology is the study of the timing of natural events such as leaf-out, bud burst and senescence relative to climate change. It is important to understand how the climate change will affect the timing of these events as it in turn affects the carbon-, nutrient- and the hydrological cycles. Field observations is the most common way to gather phenology data but the result is dependent on the skill

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning Australien har under det senaste årtiondet varit drabbat av en långvarig torka. Från 2001 framtill 2010 har bara ett år (2007) fått mer nederbörd än års medelvärdet för referensperioden 1961-1990. Australien drabbas regelbundet av torka men inte av denna magnitud. Det har medfört allvarliga konsekvenser för såväl landets befolkning, ekonomi som den naturliga milj

Examination of the post-announcement abnormal returns of the industry rivals and the firm specific characteristics in order to identify which of them determine the post-announcement wealth effects and in which way.

I denna uppsats har jag granskat tre aktuella debatter som spridit sig och framkallat starka reaktioner via internet och sociala medier. I samtliga debatter har en kvinna och hennes kropp hamnat i fokus och blivit temat för diskussionen på grund av att hon på något sätt avvikit från normen och den normativa bilden av kvinnlighet. Fallen är: Nakenprotesterna av Aliaa Magda Elmahdy och Golshifteh Fa

Studien handlar om läsbarhet i samhällskunskapsböcker på gymnasienivå. Undersökningen studerar också läsbarheten i en informationstext. Läroböcker samt samhällsinformation bör ha ett språk som underlättar för läsaren att ta till sig innehållet. Det är viktigt inte minst för elever som läser svenska som andraspråk. Materialet som undersökningen baseras på utgörs av texter om Sveriges grundlagar frå

This empirical study focuses on the SIDA-sponsored program The Child Rights, Classroom and School Management (CRCSM) –program, resting upon the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC). This study has been concerned with the perceptions of the contents, implementation as well as the effect of the CRCSM-program in Nakaseke Primary Teachers’ College, Uganda. The research questions are stratified

Malmö har den senaste tiden fått stor uppmärksamhet i medierna på grund av de åtta dödsskjutningarna som skett mellan den 11 maj 2011 och 31 januari 2012. Enligt polisen tyder mycket på att de flesta morden är kopplade till någon slags organiserad brottslighet. Detta har lett till att den organiserade brottsligheten i Malmö hamnat på medieagendan och att Malmö i flera sammanhang benämnts som Sveri

The present thesis studies the monitoring of the 2012 Russian presidential elections and explores theoretical and empirical questions of the influence of domestic and international actors on the election process.
