This study describes three young men and four young women and their quest for identity in a culture they, for many reasons, never seriously considered to be their own. The aim of the study was to find out, through interviews, what characterizes the culture of individuals identified as “blattar”, individuals with a cross-cultural background growing up and living in Sweden. We wanted to find out wha
The aim of this study is to analyze the environmental impact of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in Sub-Saharan Africa. Over the last decades, increasing levels of environmental degradation have been recorded and Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) is a region that is particularly vulnerable to these climatic changes. It has been claimed that the environmental degradation, with rising levels of CO2 emission,
Syftet med denna uppsats var att studera verbala kränkningar som en motsvarighet till vad som beskrivs som psykisk misshandel i Lag (1990:52) med särskilda bestämmelser om vård av unga (LVU). Mitt huvudsakliga undersökningsområde var hur verbala kränkningar i hemmet hanterats vid beslut om förberedande av vård av unga med stöd av 1 och 2 §§ LVU. Jag gjorde en tematisk analys på 8 rättsfall med syfMy aim with this thesis was to study verbal abuse as an equivalent to psychological abuse in The Care of Young Persons Act (LVU). The primary focus was on verbal abuse in the home as a reason to take a child into protective custody according to LVU. I made a thematic analysis on 8 court cases, with the purpose to find how the Social welfare board and County administrative board reasoned, when it c
Big data-analyser är ett kraftfullt verktyg för många organisationer idag. Genom att analysera stora mängder data kan organisationer se mönster, trender, dra slutsatser och förutspå saker som ännu inte skett. Men även om fördelarna med teknologin är många så kan Big data-analyser kränka den personliga integriteten på många sätt. I samband med införandet av den nya Dataskyddsförordningen och de öka
In the field of computational biology, fluorescence microscopy images often constitute the input source of information. The process of binarization of raw images to delineate interesting objects requires image segmentation into signal and background pixels. Several methods to perform image segmentation exist, the Otsu method being a popular unsupervised example. The Otsu method's lack of pro
This bachelor thesis examines the Swedish arms law and its development, by investigating its changes since it first was founded. The law applicable today was founded in 1996. It has been changed 22 times since then, where 13 of these changes had the purpose to prevent crimes where weapons are involved. Furthermore, this bachelor thesis also examines the knowledge behind the political arguments sta
The aim of this study was to examine what factors ex-offenders consider has facilitate and prevent their turning points for leaving a criminal life. In addition, the purpose was also to investigate how ex-offenders experienced prison as a factor for re-entry in society. From those two perspectives of view we also wanted to ascertain if prison or factors that are non-legal are the most successful f
Globalization has led to the emergence of global value chains (GVCs) and most of the world’s trade is now in intermediate inputs. This has raised questions about employment in GVCs and attracted the interest of researchers and policymakers alike, but is difficult to study empirically. This paper investigates job creation in simple and complex GVCs for 43 economies between 2000 and 2014 on the basi
Due to increasing awareness and consumer demands it has become important for companies to develop an economical and environmentally sustainable alternative to traditional petroleum-based plastics. The transition from fossil material to bio based is important for the future of people and planet, still, how the transformation should be implemented is yet unknown. In this report, the possibilities of
PFOS (Perfluoroktansulfonat)-föroreningar har hittats på många ställen i Sverige och i resten av världen, därför finns det ett stort intresse och behov av att kunna kartlägga föroreningarna med fler metoder än vad som finns till-gängligt i dagsläget. Det här examensarbetet har som syfte att undersöka resistivitets- och IP (induced polarization)-mätningars lämplighet att kartlägga PFOS vid en brandPollution of PFOS (Perfluorooctane sulphonate) have been found at many sites in Sweden, but also in many other places worldwide. Because of the widespread distribution of PFOS there is a great interest and a great need to find new methods to map PFOS pollution. The purpose of this Bachelor thesis is to investigate if resistivity- and IP (induced polarization)- measurement can be used to find PFOS-
According to the United Nations, half of humanity now lives in cities. In recent years, many countries have seen a rise in the number of and intensity of heavy rainfall events due to the effects of climate change. The consequences of urban flooding in such a context can vary between just causing mild discomfort to tremendous devastation. Building cities that can resist flood is quickly becoming an
Cartographic mashups present geographic data from various sources. A typical example is adding thematic data on top of a multi-scales background map. Currently, thematic data and multi-scales background data are not linked together in cartographic mashups which may have potential problems such as inconsistency of scale ranges. However, in some cases, thematic data and background data have some ide
Ett byggprojekt beskrivs ibland som ett skapande kaos vilket syftar på det faktum att ett byggprojekt är i ständig rörelse. Människorna som är inblandade i ett byggprojekt är ofta där under olika villkor, olika tidsperioder och med olika syften. Det avgörande för att byggprojektet ska fortskrida på ett effektivt sätt med god motivation hos de anställda är att det finns en tydlig ledare på plats. LA construction project is sometimes described as a creative chaos, which refers to the fact that a construction project is in constant motion. The people involved in a construction project are often there under different conditions, different periods of time and with different purposes. The decisive factor for the construction project to proceed efficiently with good motivation for employees is th
A joint research between Lund University and Chalmers Competence Centre for Catalysis have shown promising results for a Rh-based catalyst for CO2 hydrogenation catalytic applications. The original catalyst consisted of a dispersion of nanoparticles onto a porous 3D oxide network. To gain a deeper understanding of the catalyst, a surface science study is necessary, but it is impossible to perform
The purpose of this thesis was to study and find a solution for the safety problem of workers, pedestrians and bicyclists who take shortcuts through civil work construction sites. It focuses on the situation at one specific project, but the conclusions are general for all construction work sites. The thesis includes literature studies, interviews, a questionnaire survey and observation studies. Th
