As migrations from within and outside of Europe continue to increase steadily, particularly in the Mediterranean region, the integration of immigrant populations is one of the most pressing issues faced by many European countries. Although there is significant research on immigrant integration in urban areas, the settlement and integration of immigrants in rural areas is largely understudied, even

The purpose of this report is to examine how workers see their own working-environment and how they think that safety performance on construction sites may be improved. This is achieved by conducting interviews w
Bevisvärderingen är fri. Det innebär att det inte uppställs några legala regler för hur rätten ska värdera bevisningen i ett mål. Bevisvärderingen är istället en kunskapsteoretisk verksamhet, och den kunskap som rätten använder vid bevisvärderingen benämns erfarenhetssatser. Erfarenhetssatser ger uttryck för sannolikheten för samband mellan olika fakta, och ligger således till grund för rättens beThe evaluation of evidence is free. This means that the convincing force of the evidence in a court case is not determined by legal rules. The evaluation of evidence is rather an epistemological activity. The term laws of general experience is used to describe the propositions on which the evaluation of evidence is based upon. Laws of general experience expresses the probability of connection betw

To identify what is behind the Visegrad Groups different positions the theory spring fr
This study investigates the nostalgic aspects of Frederic Leighton’s Arab Hall. Through analysis of the room and collection, the aim is to identify how the nostalgic feelings are visualized in the hall and what this might say about the nostalgic meaning. Arab Hall serves to function as beautiful surroundings for Leighton’s significant collection of middle-eastern ornament, especially tile works f
Global investment decisions are increasingly prioritizing sustainability, and this study examines how firm-level practices toward sustainability have the potential to attract foreign ownership. Focusing on the Eastern European and Central Asian (EECA) region, the interaction between foreign direct investment (FDI) and sustainable management practices within the context of middle- to upper-middle-i
Det finns i dagens samhälle ett stort behov av försäkring och den enskilda försäkringstagaren kan välja att ta hjälp av en försäkringsförmedlare för att finna rätt försäkringslösning i djungeln av alla försäkringar. Försäkringsförmedlare ska utföra sina uppdrag på ett omsorgsfullt sätt utifrån försäkringstagarens behov och ska alltid iaktta god försäkringsförmedlingssed. Vilket typ av ansvar ochIn todays society, people and companies are in great need of insurance and the individual policyholder can choose to get help from an insurance intermediary. The insurance intermediary shall perform their duties with a diligent manner based on the policyholder’s needs. It is not always clear what liabilities an insurance intermediary has. Therefore, this thesis intends to analyse and investigate
It is difficult to prepare for events with large-scale consequences and low probability. Simulation exercises (SimEx) provide the opportunity to improve preparedness through strengthening capabilities before an actual emergency. Conducting a SimEx could be very expensive and therefore the SimEx should be thoroughly evaluated. Action plans (AP) determine the relevant recommendations to be implement
Just leave but feel free to come back: on the social services outreach work with people who renounce the need for help In this study I have been interested in the meetings that take place between outreach workers in social services and people who involuntarily are approached. More specifically, I have focused on the meetings with adult people who renounce the need for help from the outreach worke
Pancreatic cancer (PC) is a devastating disease and is almost always synonymous with a poor outcome. Chemotherapy is the standard treatment and is administered in either an adjuvant or palliative setting. However, nearly all patients, regardless of treatment intent, eventually develop chemoresistance. Little is known about the events causing chemoresistance, but increased knowledge is essential fo
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has become more important for companies in recent years, both as a marketing tool and a way to demonstrate as well as to maintain the organization's social, economical and environmental sustainability. While many organizations talk about sustainability, it is unclear how well this information reaches their frontline employees working in the stores. This th
Planet–planet collisions are a common outcome of instability in systems of transiting planets close to the star, as well as occurring during in-situ formation of such planets from embryos. Previous N-body studies of instability amongst transiting planets have assumed that collisions result in perfect merging. Here, we explore the effects of implementing a more realistic collision prescription on t
This article discusses and analyzes an unusual construction in Icelandic, with a plural pronoun in the singular reading and a directly juxtaposed or annexed NP (or DP), where, for example, vio Ólafur (literally "we.nom Olaf.nom") means 'Olaf and I'. We refer to this construction as Pro[NP]. Pro[NP] constructions have been reported for a handful of languages that lack a case system. Icelandic, in c

This thesis examines dynamic references in EU secondary legislation to standards developed and adopted by the OECD and their compatibility with the European principle of legality of taxation. It aims to provide a proposal on how dynamic references to OECD standards legally function and what legal implications they entail. This understanding of dynamic references is subsequently applied to the Euro
Protein deletions are frequent among both disease-causing and tolerated variants. Several mechanisms at the DNA, RNA and protein levels can lead to deletions. Many deletions are misclassified in the literature and databases, especially when the mRNA is degraded by the cellular quality-control mechanism. We developed a novel predictor for sequence retaining protein deletions, i.e., variants that do
Crop production often comes at the expense of losses in ecosystem services and biodiversity; however, this might not always be the case. Here we test the effects of shade gradients and agricultural inputs on trade-offs or synergies between coffee yield and ecosystem services and biodiversity data for smallholder coffee plantations of Arabica coffee in Peru. We collected data using surveys (n = 162
In Swedish schools, a warm lunch is served every day. The lunch is prepared in a large-scale food service system and includes steam-cooked potatoes several times per week. The potatoes are often industrially pre-treated to facilitate the handling and logistics required to cook hundreds of meals in a couple of hours. During the industrial pre-treatment, the potato tubers are usually peeled by abraIn Swedish schools, a warm lunch is served every day.
