Hedersrelaterat våld och förtryck blev känt i Sverige under 1990-talet, då de första uppmärksammade hedersmorden begicks i landet. Morden på Sara, Pela och Fadime väckte stor debatt i Sverige och man försökte hitta förklaringar till hur detta kunde inträffa och framförallt varför. Hedersrelaterat våld skiljer sig från andra våldsformer mot kvinnor på ett flertal sätt. Det som är viktigt att framHonour-related violence and oppression became known in Sweden during the 1990s, when the first high-profile honour murders were committed in the country. The murders of Sara, Pela and Fadime raised an intensive debate in Sweden and we tried to find explanations for how this could have happened, and above all why. Honour-related violence differs from other forms of violence against women in severa

Zanzibar, as a part of a developing country in East Africa, struggles with a bad municipal solid waste management system. This master thesis is an attempt to analyse the current waste situation on Zanzibar and the environmental and social effects of four dumpsites in order to give recommendations on how to improve the waste management system. The thesis was made as a Minor Field Study funded by SI

Organiserad brottslighet har under de senaste åren varit en viktig kriminalpolitisk fråga och är det än idag. Media rapporterar frekvent om skjutningar kopplade till hämndaktioner i den kriminella miljön, problem i de utsatta områdena, mord som inte går att klara upp samt företag som förskingrat miljonbelopp. Det ska nämnas att den organiserade brottsligheten har bytt skepnad genom tiderna. MångsiOrganized crime has been an important criminal policy issue in recent years and remains an important issue today. The media frequently reports on shootings linked to retaliation in the criminal environment, problems in the vulnerable areas, murders that cannot be solved and companies that have cheated millions of dollars. It is said that organized crime is a phenomenon that has changed shape over

This study explores the nexus between financial inclusion and agricultural productivity in Tanzania, where agriculture is a key sector for the nation's economy and inclusive growth. Vulnerable to climate change, the sector faces productivity challenges due to rain anomalies and rising temperatures. Previous studies have highlighted financial inclusion as crucial for reducing vulnerability at t

While the government of Hong Kong has acknowledged the need to increase renewable energy contributions in its fuel mix, the implementation of renewable energy projects in the region is constrained by complex topography and limited land availability. To overcome these challenges, a pragmatic solution is devised through the use of a site suitability analysis which expedites the identification of

The purpose of this thesis is to explore how consumers perceive and interpret limited-edition clothing merchandise released by fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) brands as a far brand extension strategy, and whether it influences the parent brand image. The study uses the Swedish FMCG brand Eldorado as a single case to examine how limited-edition clothing merchandise, incorporating recognizable bra

This thesis examines how girls are portrayed in Swedish adolescent literature from the 1940s and 1950s – Ingen tror på Britt (1947), Den svarta fläcken (1949), Inga och livet (1951), Ingen lugn stund hos Oskarssons (1953) and lastly, Flickan från landet: berättelse för flickor (1954). By taking a new historical approach a historical contextualisation has been done of the works by interpreting hist

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of brand logics on the success of brand extensions. Methodology: This study has examined two different case studies to better understand the effect of brand logic. An extensive literature review was done on “brand logics”, specifically Unique Selling Proposition (USP) and the Golden Circle, “brand extensions” as well as “brand identit

Detta är ett undersökande examensprojekt där jag vill översätta kunskap om goda lekmiljöer till fysisk form. I sökandet efter vad som definierar en god lekmiljö har jag formulerat följande frågeställning: ”Hur kan lekmiljöer gestaltas som samspelar med barns fantasi, uppmuntrar tankefrihet, är tillgänglig för alla barn och inte styrande i sin användning?” Jag har genomfört litteraturstudie och erfThis is an exploratory master’s thesis, where I want to translate theoretical and empirical knowledge of sound play environments to physical form. In the search of what defines a sound play environment, I have formulated the following question: ” How can play environments be shaped to enhance the interaction with children’s imagination, encourage freedom of thought, create accessibility to all chi

The relationship between state and civil society organisations is a well studied area within the field of political science in the Swedish contemporary political context. While the focus has previously largely been on producer-organisations and their politically privileged position, the resent additional focus has been on the civil society organisation defined by social-movements-oriented organisa

Five students of a rescue training school cycled at 50 W for 20 minutes at 20 °C before walking up to 30 minutes in a climatic chamber at 55 °C and 30 % relative humidity. Four different types of clothing ensembles were used differing in terms of thickness and thermal insulation value were tested on separate days. All subjects completed 28-30 minutes in light clothing, but quitted after 20-27 minu

Popular Abstract in Swedish Föreliggande avhandling, I litteraturens mittfåra, behandlar bokmarknad, bokklubbar och litteraturen under 1970-talet i Sverige. Bakgrunden till undersökningen är de radikala förändringar som skedde på den svensk bokmarknaden efter den genomgripande avregleringen av handeln med böcker 1970. Bokklubbarna växte från att inneha en marknadsandel på 9% 1970 till att ha 30% aThe present dissertation, I litteraturens mittfåra, deals with book trade, book clubs, and the fiction prose of the 1970s in Sweden. The background to the study is the radical change in Swedish book trade through a far-reaching deregulation of the trade in 1970. The book clubs expanded from a position where they held a 9% share of the market in 1970 to a market share of 30% in 1980.And the specifi

The management of construction tolerances is a necessary and routine part of the construction activity and is normally brought to our attention only when failures are reported. In a study of tolerance management, the authors found widespread evidence of the same failures and the reasons for them. There seems to be no shortage of experience of the effects of failures in tolerances or of knowledge a

Nature provides us with a vast source of inspiration. However, given industrial designers' open-mindedness and inquisitiveness, a surprisingly limited set of nature-derived symbols continues to be popular in this creative discipline. Rather than designing products mimicking nature, it is probably more rewarding designing them based on the natural principles leading to its growth and form. However,

The increasing use of wireless technology utilizing unlicensed frequency bands calls for more in-depth analysis of interference and coexistence between systems. In this paper a framework is presented for detailed analysis of the performance of coexisting networks in shared frequency bands. The framework allows for multiple packet lengths to be used by the communicating devices and the analysis is

The genetic basis of complete C4 deficiency in a patient with SLE was investigated. Previous studies have demonstrated that this patient has two different major histocompatibility complex (MHC) haplotypes that each contain a major deletion and a non-expressed C4 gene. In the present study, non-expression of the C4 genes was explained by the finding of two distinct C4 gene mutations. A previously d

An almost k-wise independent sample space is a small subset of m bit sequences in which any k bits are “almost independent”. We show that this idea has close relationships with useful cryptologic notions such as multiple authentication codes (multiple A-codes), almost strongly universal hash families and almost k-resilient functions. We use almost k-wise independent sample spaces to construct new

The proposed Differential Difference Comparator (DDC) provides easy linear voltage summing/subtraction and comparison functions via current operation. The speed of this unconventional comparator drastically improved since there is no feedback loop and coupling capacitors needed to maintain the linearity. The linear input range is also enlarged by the common mode compression. The principle, design

For the first time in Europe, both European-wide and country-specific levels of urinary Bisphenol A (BPA) were obtained through a harmonized protocol for participant recruitment, sampling and quality controlled biomarker analysis in the frame of the twin projects COPHES and DEMOCOPHES. 674 child-mother pairs were recruited through schools or population registers from six European member states (Be

In this paper, the freeze-thaw stability of mayonnaise type oil-in-water emulsions is studied. The emphasis of the experiments have been on the properties of the dispersed oil phase as only small, or no effects, were observed from initial experiments on changing the properties of the aqueous phase within the investigated ranges. Different vegetable oils are investigated in order to relate the comp
