This master thesis is a study of how three public libraries in Scania approach refugees in 2015: Helsingborg, Lund and Malmö’s public library. The Swedish Library Act states that public libraries should be available to and usable by all people. The purpose of this research is to find out to which degree public libraries have the possibilities to fulfill this Act, in terms of their organizational s
Several digital technologies are now available to record and document archaeological excavations. A large number of studies have been published concerning the use of laser scanning, image based 3D modelling and GIS. By integrating different typologies of 3D data from Uppåkra, an Iron Age central place in southern Sweden, this thesis focuses on the development and evaluation of how 3D Geographic In
Nowadays, consumers are daily exposed to an overflow of content in mainstream media. Many companies have developed a trend where they target different sexual orientations as separate segments in order to create a closer relationship to all consumers. However, when companies use homosexual themes in their advertising, it can be perceived as a sensitive area, especially when including minority group

Design/Methodology/Approach: This research is based on a multi-case study within the leather, ivory and fine wine industry. To evaluate the purpose of this study, literature as same as primary data, in form of a qualitative research, was use
I denna uppsats utreds de arvsrättsliga skillnaderna mellan efterlevande make respektive sambo och problematiserar dessa utifrån ett äldrerättsligt perspektiv. Förutom att medellivslängden har ökat i Sverige så har dessutom antalet samboförhållanden sedan 1960-talet ökat. 1,5 miljoner svenskar i blandade åldrar antas idag leva som sambo. Oavsett om man valt att leva som gift eller sambo så blir reThe purpose of this thesis is to, from an elder law perspective, study the differences in inheritance law between the surviving spouse and the surviving cohabitant. Apart from the fact that the average life expectancy has increased in Sweden, the number of relationships of unmarried cohabitants has also increased since the 1960s. Approximately 1.5 million Swedish couples in miscellaneous ages are
Solzhenitsyn was a famous nationalist who clearly stated his stance in non-fiction literature. In this study his stance will be further investigated by searching for expression of nationalism in three of his earliest fiction. The three works are the two short stories One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich and Matryonas Home and the novel Cancer Ward. The analysis found that the nationalism of Sol
Background: Life skills-based approaches are broadly used in HIV prevention programmes world-wide. However, evaluations of such programmes have found mixed evidence for their effects on indicators of safer sexual behaviour. Methods: Questionnaires of 4,381 participants of the Star for Life (SFL) life skills-based prevention programme in South African schools were analysed using binary logistic reg
Omkring en tredjedel av alla sammanlevande par i Sverige idag är sambor och omfattas därigenom av sambolagen. Sambolagens huvudsyfte är att tillhandahålla ett minimiskydd till den svagare parten när samboförhållandet upplöses. I och med att samboförhållandena ökar i antal varar allt fler samboförhållanden längre, till och med livet ut. Mot bakgrund av detta är uppsatsens mål att behandla vilket efAbout one third of all couples in Sweden today are cohabitants and therefore subject to the Cohabitees Act. The purpose of the Cohabitees Act is to provide minimum protection for the weaker party when a cohabitee relationship ends. Due to the fact that cohabitee relationships are increasing in number, more cohabitee relationships are lasting longer, some even for life. Considering this, the object

Purpose: To study the effect of environmentally-relevant personal values (biospheric, altruistic, egoistic and hedonic) on the purchase intention of second-hand clothing (SHC). Methodology: This research is a quantitative study and follows a deductive research approach. The empirical data was obtained through convenience sampling by means of an online self-completion questionnaire. A total of 669
The aim of this study was to see how the interdisciplinary collaboration between the substitute treatment and the social services are working. I wanted to see how the different organizations looked at each other and what they were expecting of each other, and how that could affect the collaboration. The study was conducted using a qualitative approach, semi-structured interviews with social worker
District heating is a common means of space and hot water heating in Sweden. However, the demand for heating is not the same at all times. On a yearly basis more heat is required during winter, while next to none is needed in summer. Since the demand for heat load varies throughout the year, when trying to predict it, using a model that changes with the seasons can give a more accurate prediction.
Cooked ham is a particularly popular cured meat product. Nonetheless, meat consumption constitutes a controversial issue, as researchers correlate red and cured meat with the development of colorectal cancer. One of the main compounds of the cured cooked ham is nitrite. Although, its residual amount in products is considered as responsible for the formation of N-nitrosamines and the provocation of
As CO2 builds up in the atmosphere causing global climate change (IPCC, 2022) trees have become an international symbol of combatting this, and for good reason. Trees take up CO2 which as a result combats these changes, and when these trees are cut down fewer individuals remain to take up the CO2 that we humans emit (Chapin et al., 2011). This means that clear-cut areas don’t act as the carbon sin
By the end of the 1960s there was a growing environmental concern all around the globe. As a part of an answer to this challenge the need was recognized for a reorientation of the education processes towards developing knowledge, attitudes and skills for resolving the issues. This was the birth of the concept of Environmental Education (EE). However, this notion is far from being static as it went
The Swedish implementation of the EU's Data Retention Directive, entailing mandatory retention of electronic communications data concerning all individuals for the purpose of law enforcement, was passed in 2012. In 2014 the directive was ruled invalid by the Court of Justice of the European Union on the basis of its alleged infringements on fundamental rights. Implementations of the directive
Today there is a high focus on the energy use when constructing new buildings. This mainly depends on the increased regulations and energy classifications that have been issued. Because of this, studies have shown that mechanical cooling in office environments leads to high energy consumption and service costs. This has led to an increased interest in analyzing if cooling only through ventilation
Climate change is going to affect the Earth’s precipitation patterns leading to increased flood risk in Sweden. The main purpose of this study is to examine how municipalities and the building industry work with adaptation for increased precipitation in response to climate change. NCC, a construction and property developing company in Europe represents the building industry in this study. The meth
Body size is one of the most important traits of zooplankton. It affects their metabolism, life history and ecology and can eventually influence community and ecosystem processes. Higher and more fluctuating temperatures due to climate change are expected to have an influence on zooplankton size. Based on general empirical evidence, warmer temperatures may lead to smaller zooplankton, while temper
The term Middle-income Trap (MIT) is relatively new, originating thirteen years ago, but has since generated significant debate. It is used by politicians to channel national reforms and has given rise to a vast amount of research about growth slowdowns in middle-income countries (MICs). The term describes the higher prevalence of economic growth slowdowns in MICs, which impedes their transition i
