This essay deals with the weak and unstable urbanization process of the town Falkenberg. The aim has been to explore how a new town could be established just a kilometre away from the town (Old) Falkenberg and what kind of meaning the town had in relationship to the towns Halmstad and Varberg. This was made through the study of the political situation in Denmark and Sweden during the 15th century

Title: Artistic methods for persons with dysfunctions. The idea to the paper was born in my work, as a pedagogue, with young persons with dysfunctions. My pedagogic method is eurhythmics but I wanted to examine in what other ways you could work with artistic expression in similar areas such as circus, dance therapy and psychodrama. These areas were chosen because they have components that are int

The purpose of this essay was to examine young people's view of how intoxication influences the communication and responsibility in sexual situations between two heterosexual adolescents, and to explore how young people define rape. The main questions were to examine how young people describe the communication of "yes" and "no" in sexual meetings, and who is responsible fo

Unlike previous research, this thesis considers the possibility of regarding the morning prayers in Swedish schools as preaching, rather than teaching. 28 morning prayers, delivered in the church of S:t Johannes in the city of Malmö during 1939-1954 by the religious teacher Astri Heimer (1889-1986), constitutes the material for analysis. The purpose of this thesis is to examine if Heimer's mor

Source reduction and source separation are important ingredients for sustainable municipal solid waste management. They facilitate waste reduction and valorisation. However, waste managers find that it is challenging task to promote source reduction and source separation. The situation is even more difficult in developing countries and lack of environmental awareness and lack of public cooperation

Human rights have their roots in citizen's rights. The development of citizen's rights has been centring on property rights. Property rights own its root to Rome. Private property rights are crucial elements in the Roman law, but were less recognized in the Middle Ages. Then it revives in the medieval cities.

New social movements in South Africa could play a prominent role in mobilizing the communities to reflect critically and address the repercussions of the neo-liberal agenda, i.e. perpetuating the exclusion of under-educated adults and provision of poor quality education. Few studies especially from the perspective of the activists leave a potential research area of a very interesting phenomenon of

During the fall of 2012, a social service center in Sweden re-organized their social assistance organization. From having three teams, where two teams consisted of one kind of an occupational group and the third one of another occupational group, the organization today exists of two teams with both occupational groups in each team. The aim of this study was to find out and see how the collaboratio

Utveckling och testning av reaktorer för katalysmätningar Katalysatorer är oumbärliga i såväl livsprocesser som industriella tillämpningar. Bilismen är ett exempel där katalysatorer används vid såväl bränsletillverkning som avgasrening. Men detta är långt ifrån det enda användningsområdet. Katalysatorer är också delaktiga i tillverkningen av uppemot 90% av alla kemikalier. Industriella katalysa

The purpose of this study is to illuminate what postnatal depression is and how it might affect a newborn child and its mother. We also want to clarify what potentially causes postnatal depression, how to prevent it and how to socially work with this problem. To figure this out, we decided to administer six interviews with professionals such as social workers, nurses, psychologists and others. The

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: För 420 miljoner år sedan, under den tidsperiod som kallas för silurtiden, låg Sverige vid ekvatorn. Stora delar av landet var täckt av ett grunt och tropiskt hav där bland annat koraller, bläckfiskar, trilobiter och havsskorpioner trivdes. Även Gotland låg under havsytan och det var under denna tid som den kalksten som utgör öns berggrund byggdes upp. Förutom dThe Late Silurian Lau Event is one of the three major events identified in the Gotland strata. It is associated with one of the largest stable carbon isotope excursion recorded in the Phanerozoic, as well as rapid lithology changes, and extinctions and faunal turnovers among various fossil groups. In this study, early vertebrates (fishes) were investigated over the Lau Event interval. The study wa

Congregational singing goes long back in time and has always been seen as an extra addition to praising the Lord, in addition to praying. The purpose of this essay is to see how different congregations in the town of Växjö works whit the congregational singing. I studied two congregations from the Church of Sweden and one congregation from the Pentecostal and the Evangelical church. In my study I

This paper analyzes if there exist a statistical relationship between liquidity on stock, listed at NASDAQ OMX Nordic Stockholm, and financial stress. Liquidity is approximated by volume turnover, and financial stress is represented by SIXVX implied volatility index. To find out if stock liquidity responds differently to financial stress, depending on capitalization value, the stocks were divided

Sexualbrotten i svensk rätt kräver idag att gärningsmannen har använt någon typ av våld eller hot, eller har utnyttjat ett hjälplöst tillstånd. År 2003 kom emellertid Europadomstolens avgörande i Bulgariendomen, i vilken kan utläsas att varje sexuell handling som begås utan samtycke ska vara straffbar. Sedan dess har det i Sverige livligt debatterats om huruvida domen innebär att den svenska lagenThe sexual offences in Swedish law of today require that the perpetrator has used violence or threats, or that he has exploited a helpless state. However, in 2003 the European Court of Human Rights delivered a judgment in the case of M.C v. Bulgaria, which stated that any non-consensual sexual act must be punishable. There has been a legal discussion in Sweden ever since, regarding whether this ju

The objective of this study was to compare practitioners’ perspectives of the therapeutic relationship established face to face and online in order to add a broader understanding of the therapeutic relationship and whether a new context did highlight new aspects of therapy. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with nine psychotherapists in Greece: five of them worked face to face and four onl

What is Financial Assistance? Quantitative studies made on Swedish social workers (Stranz 2007 et al) handling means-tested benefits have shown that decisions taken by social workers are often hard to predict. Hence, means-tested benefits seem to be characterised by a lack of consistent application of rules. Contextual factors for the social worker administering the benefits (such as gender, age

During reconnaissance field work in the westernmost part of Vestranden, Nord-Trøndelag, Norway, some eclogitic rocks were found (by Leif Johansson and Charlotte Möller). They are of interest, because until now, eclogites have not been found in this northern part of the Western Gneiss Region. It is important to consider these rocks in the evolutionary context of the entire Western Gneiss Region. Th

The Office du Niger is the most important rice production area in Mali. It plays an important role in ensuring food security for the country‟s rapidly growing population. In order for the Office du Niger rice sector to keep supplying consumers with sufficient amounts of rice, an efficient market channel (i.e. the chain through which the rice must pass from producer to final consumer) is needed. I

The thesis focuses on multi-physics simulation of a gas inflator for inflation of airbags. The need of multi physics simulations extends to many other engineering and industrial applications and has become an extensive area of research. Main focus is on the Fluid Structure Interaction (FSI) within the field of multi-physics or coupled physics simulation. The purpose is to study the flow, the membr
