This thesis investigates how the EU has contributed in combating terrorism in Peru. The thesis focuses on the terrorist group Sendero Luminoso during the years 1993-2013. It also investigates why terrorism in Peru should be of concern for the EU and if Sendero Luminoso should be considered a threat today. The theories used are securitization theories developed by Barry Buzan and Ole Weaver, as wel
Civic integration is something that states interpret differently in their formulation of citizenship requirements. Thinking of the ongoing refugee crisis in Europe, citizenship policy is an important issue because states will confront new residents who need to obtain a citizenship in order to start a new life and integrate in a foreign country. The aim of this study is to follow up with existing r
Member State financing of public broadcasters has long been a contentious issue within the European Union, which strives for an open marketplace where broadcasters of different origins move and compete freely. The public financing of certain broadcasters – reinforced by the Amsterdam Protocol and Member States’ desire to maintain and enhance democracy as well as social and cultural values – poses
Purpose: To propose a blueprint of how the policymakers responsible for health care reforms in the county of Scania (Sweden) could evaluate a prospective stroke care intervention from a societal point of view. More specifically, the intervention will consist in the introduction of telemedicine technology to their ambulance fleet. In addition, key methodological issues, of interest to the policymak
Ett liv utan socker Det finns få av oss som ärligt kan säga att de aldrig bantat eller i alla fall aldrig tänkt på maten de äter och hur mycket de tränar. I vårt utseendefixerade samhälle där modet, att se slankast ut eller ha mest muskler är det svårt att erkänna att man älskar att äta pizza två gånger i veckan. Eller att man struntat i den där gruppträningen kl 17 en tisdag för att sitta hemma
In contrast to the Western ideal of secularization, religion has in some cultures maintained its important role in nationalist undertakings. This is the case in Myanmar, a country that is currently in the midst of a state transformation towards democracy after more than fifty years of authoritarian, military rule. This religious nationalism has been taken to a higher level of chauvinism and violen
The city of Malmö has seen growing media attention recent years in light of increased reporting on its anti-Semitism. The media image is one where the Jewish population is constantly harassed and threatened. This study aims to clarify whether or not there has been an actual increase of anti-Semitism in Malmö, what might be causing it, and with this shed light on modern anti-Semitism. Limiting the
We have investigated the CO induced faceting of a Rh(553) surface using Scanning Tunneling Microscope (STM), Low Energy Electron Diffraction (LEED) and Auger Electron Spectroscopy (AES). The sample was exposed to a CO pressure of 1x10^-3 mbar, at different sample temperatures. The experiment was performed in the STM lab at the division of Synchrotron Radiation Research at Lund University. AccordinMy bachelor thesis deals with the change of Rhodium (Rh) stepped surface under pure carbon monoxide exposure, which will help the understanding of it as a catalyst of carbon monoxide oxidation. Catalysts are widely used in different areas and industries as catalysis can help accelerating chemical reactions without itself being consumed. Rh is a metal catalyst used in the oxidation of CO to CO2. T
In 2008 the National Library of Sweden made a decision to change the Swedish classification system SAB to the internationally used Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC), a decision that was supported by the Swedish Library Association that recommended all Swedish libraries to make the change. The main reasons and arguments were internationalisation and rationalisation; less time should be laid on cla
Title: Adaptation of shipment consolidation and distribution network design to omni-channel retailing Authors: Johan Deniz, Martin Månsson Supervisor: Joakim Kembro, Department of Industrial Management and Logistics, Faculty of Engineering, Lund University Problem description: Global retailers tend to have complex distribution networks. A part of the complexity stems from trade-offs in deciding
En funktion som har fått mycket uppmärksamhet bland matematiker är den så kallade Riemanns zeta-funktion, som definieras med hjälp av en summa av oändligt antal termer, en så kallad serie: zeta(s) = 1 + 1/2^s + 1/3^s + 1/4^s + ... Här är s=a+ib en komplex variabel med en reell del a och en imaginär del, där i har egenskapen i^2=-1. Värdet på den här serien kommer givetvis bero på vilket värde pWe establish the central convergence properties of ordinary Dirichlet series, including the classical result by Bohr, providing uniform convergence of the series where it has a bounded analytic continuation. We also derive a lower bound for the supremum of Dirichlet polynomials using Kronecker's theorem, of which we see one proof. With this knowledge and some probability theory we can follow t
Purpose: Improvements in mortality rate of glioblastoma patients have been limited during the past decades, due to the tumor’s rapidly growing and infiltrative behavior and resistance to current therapy. Recent findings show that higher brain mean dose strongly correlates with inferior overall survival and that local recurrences mainly occur centrally in previously irradiated regions. This project
The purpose of this essay was to study and analyze which ethical problems civil servants that work with LVM (law of non-voluntary treatment for addicts) experience and their point of view at their work with LVM. Civil servants in this essay, refers to the workers at LVM-homes that treat the addicts and the investigators at social office for grownup addicts. The method used was qualitative intervie

Popular Abstract in Swedish För att ge en god omvårdnad behövs kunskaper om ätproblem som helhet och om möjliga hinder för optimalt näringsintag hos äldre patienter, särskilt de med stroke. Sådana kunskaper behövs eftersom åldrandet i sig självt eller tillsammans med sjukdom, t.ex. stroke och dess följder, kan påverka förmågan att äta och därmed också näringsintaget med ökad risk för såväl undernäThe aim of this thesis was to describe eating difficulties and interventions to improve eating among elderly patients, especially those with stroke, to make comparisons between patients with dysphagia and those without (Papers I & II), those with and without assisted eating (Paper IV), and to analyse the relation between eating difficulties, nutritional status (Papers II-V), pressure ulcers (P
This study aims to explore the scope of ‘knowledge-carrying’ objects in learning situations. The studyis based on a qualitative content analysis of a design project conducted in a science centre for childrenaged 7-10 years, learning about polymers and circularity. The design project is based on researchthrough design and has been an iterative process where design experiments and observations werei
In recent decades, we have witnessed an increasing use of projects and similar temporary modes of organising in the public sector of nations in Europe and around the world. While for some this is a welcome development which unlocks entrepreneurial zeal and renders public services more flexible and accountable, others argue that this seeks to depoliticise policy initiatives, rendering them increasi
This article addresses the gap in knowledge about how new digital technology affects decision making and social caseworkers’ professionalism. The aim is to enhance the understanding of how digital discretion—as a result of introducing automated decision making (ADM) in social assistance—affects the roles, work processes and professional judgements of social caseworkers in the provision of social a
