Migrant workers, both regular and irregular, are at particular risk of having their rights violated. At the same time, there has been an absence of support for exploited immigrant workers from Swedish authorities and civil society. Lately, a number of trade unions and semi-union organisations in Sweden have developed methods to mobilize the rights of migrant workers experiencing exploitation on th

Healthcare organizations are challenged by complexity in structure and knowledge, and heterogeneity in deliveries and patient demands. Reductionist managerial approaches fall short in resolving the quality issues of healthcare, but Scientific Management and New Public Management (NPM) nevertheless has a strong hold on leadership thinking in hospitals. Increasing demand for adaptive and collaborati

This paper analyzes incomes and income inequality in Stockholm from 1870 to 1970. The paper builds on a new dataset of 38,022 randomly sampled Stockholm residents 1870–1950, with information on income, occupation, age, gender, and household composition.

This article is about the relation between (slow) memory and solidaric practices through the lens of a Warsaw-based activist group called Polskie Babcie (Polish Grandmothers). Driven by concerns for their grandchildren’s future, these grandmothers leaned heavily on memories as they manifested their support for the rule of law, the environment, LGBTQ+ rights, and more, during the rule of the nation

This paper explores the legal relevance of delusions in determining criminal responsibility. We argue that although delusions may be relevant in assessing capacity for criminal responsibility, the specific content of delusional beliefs should not form the basis for judgments of blameworthiness. The analysis takes the Anglo-American criminal law tradition as its starting point, focusing on the geneThis paper explores the legal relevance of delusions in determining criminal responsibility.

This thesis examines how people from the Swedish middle-class experience their role in the climate crisis through their sustainable consumption and lifestyle practices. Today, consumer-fixated solutions are among the most prominent among large institutions, corporations and political unions globally. Simultaneously, policy initiatives to encourage sustainable practices have not effectively corresp

Stress and anxiety related illnesses havebecome more present in our society and as a result it has become more important to find ways to combat this growing issue. Quite a fewnature-related practices have proven themselves useful for this.This study aims to examine the positive health benefits from recreational activities in Swedishforests and the Japanese activity shrinin-yoku (roughly translated

Decision making is one of the most critical tasks that can have an impact on organisations’ performance. To rely on decisions, organisations need to consider effective decision making. Hence to make effective decisions, most organisations are moving towards data driven deci-sion making with the aim to increase profits and reduce costs that can lead them to a compet-itive advantage. However, adopti

I år var andra gången som Lunds universitet genomförde en universitetsgemensam pedagogisk utvecklingskonferens, första gången var 2007. Konferensen, som är ett samarrangemang mellan samtliga fakulteter och CED, har nu alltså blivit en återkommande aktivitet! Samhällsvetenskapliga fakulteten stod värd för årets konferens och dekanus Ann-Katrin Bäcklund sträckte vid invigningen fram en symbolisk sta

Introduction: In this thesis, I critically examine three discourses, prevalent within the 'field' of sexual violence in migration. Methodology: Taking a poststructuralist approach, I deconstruct the beforementioned discourses in a threefold analysis. Results: I find, that the binary gender system is still dominating, and that certain ideas about 'men' and 'women', their bod

In this thesis we consider a general approach to modeling dependence in extreme values of exchange rates by using copulas. As specific examples the following pairs of currencies are analyzed: Swedish krona to U.S. dollar (SEK/USD), Swedish krona to Euro (SEK/EUR), Swedish krona to British pound (SEK/GBP), Swedish krona to Japanese Yen (SEK/JPY), Swedish krona to Danish krone (SEK/DKK) and Swedish

This thesis investigates differences and similarities in the funerary material of Late Bronze Age Cyprus in order to answer questions about a possible uniqueness of the pit/well tombs at the Late Bronze Age harbour city of Hala Sultan Tekke. The thesis also tries to explain why these features stand out as singular, compared to the more common chamber tomb, and the reason for their existence. The t

Project CAD: Importance and Relevance of 3D CAD Based Education in Industrial Design Field – a Degree Project for Master of Fine Arts in Design This master’s degree project was carried out from January to October 2012.

This essay compares the two Swedish municipalities Landskrona and Värnamo, in order to understand the difference in achieved integration on the labor market. By using Mill’s method of disagreement, and conducting interviews with persons with key positions in the integration process, based on theories of integration, the essay reaches the conclusion that authorities can be the difference between su

This Master’s Thesis has shown possible applications of genetic optimization algorithms (GA) within design. A framework for structural optimization with genetic algorithms was built and used to show the possibilities of using GA to create concept designs given just the boundary conditions and requirements of a structure. A comparison between the optimization of the load bearing beam of an automate
