Segregation är ett föränderligt tillstånd som är komplext och påverkar såväl enskilda individer som samhället i stort. Exempelvis är stadsplaneringen en bakomliggande orsak som kan påverkar segregationen i en stad. För att det verkligen ska kunna ske en förbättring är det emellertid av stor vikt att åtgärder vidtas på olika plan och av olika aktörer. Det ursprungliga syftet bakom arbete är att utSegregation is a changing condition that is complex and affects individuals but also the society. Urban planning is for example an underlying cause that can affect segregation in a city. However, in order for an improvement, it is of great importance that measures are taken at different levels and by different actors. The primary purpose of the report was to study the impact that urban planning h

Parternas processföring underlättas om de på ett tidigt stadium i en domstolstvist får tillgång till skriftliga bevis av betydelse för tvisten. Rättegångsbalken (RB) innehåller i detta avseende bestämmelser om inomprocessuell bevisanskaffning. Dessa bestämmelser utgör medel för parter att tillgripa inom ramen för ett pågående dispositivt tvistemål vid bevisanskaffning och bevisefterforskning införThe parties’ proceedings in court are facilitated if the parties are, on an early stage, given the opportunity to have access to documentary evidence of importance to an on-going trial. The Swedish Code of Judicial Procedure (SCJP) contains, in this regard, provisions that regulate intra-procedural gathering of documentary evidence. These provisions constitute tools for parties to utilize when try

I begreppet minne ryms flera kognitiva processer. En viktig minnesförmåga är mönsterseparation, som innebär att skilja nya visuella intryck från redan kända. Det datoriserade bildminnestestet MST (Mnemonic Similarity Task) har tagits fram för att testa denna förmåga. MST administrerades över internet, och 38 deltagare testades vid flera sessioner för att jämföra förmågan vid olika tidpunkter. DessThe concept of memory consists of several cognitive processes. An important memory ability is pattern separation, which means distinguishing new visual impressions from already known ones. The computerised picture memory test MST (Mnemonic Similarity Task) has been developed to test this ability. The MST was administered online, and 38 participants were tested at multiple sessions to compare abili

Integration management in Finland and Tampere is broad task including multiple actors and departments. To manage integration, is to coordinate the cross organizational cooperation of multiple service structures that support migrants with different kinds of services. Although integration work has traditionally been provided through the Employment & growth services,the other relevant services fo

Instead of investing 145 billion SEK in building a new high speed rail network, much greater value in terms of transport capacity is likely to be found in constructing a new system of tube transport with a travel speed of 600 km/h. The suggested technology does not exist yet. However, research and development is advancing and accepting that a new technology is emerging might be the greatest hurdle

Background Lagoons are shallow coastal water bodies which occupy 13 % of the world’s total coastlines. Healthy lagoons have a rich aquatic fauna and can provide an economic benefit for the people living in its vicinity. Due to anthropogenic activities, the water quality in many lagoons is deteriorating. The Mundaú-Manguaba Estuarine-Lagoon System is no exception. BOD-rich water from the nearby sug

I en tid präglad av globalisering, teknisk innovation och individualism har kampen om talangfulla medarbetare vuxit fram. Arbetsgivarens behov av att framstå och uppfattas som attraktiv har kommit att bli betydande, speciellt i relation till Generation Y som olikt tidigare generationer byter arbetsgivare flera gånger under sin yrkeskarriär. En generationskohort, så som Generation Y, består av indiIn an era characterized by globalization, technological innovation and individualism the battle for top talent has emerged. Employers’ need to be seen and perceived as attractive have become significant, especially in relation to Generation Y that unlike previous generations change employer several times during their professional careers. A generational cohort, as Generation Y, consists of individ

Den 1 juli 2018 fick Sverige en ny våldtäktslagstiftning. Den nya lagstiftningen innebar att rekvisitet som skiljer olagligt och lagligt sexuellt umgänge förändrades. I tidigare våldtäktslagstiftning har tvång varit en förutsättning för att en våldtäkt skulle anses förövad. Med den nya regleringen står nu frivillighet i centrum för denna bedömning. Lagändringen föregicks av mycket debatt. Det diskOn the 1st of July 2018 Sweden changed the law on sexual assault. The new law meant that the prerequisite that separate sexual assault and legal sexual intercourse was changed. In previous legislation coercion was needed for a perpetrator to be convicted of sexual assault. The new law instead places voluntariness at the center of the court’s assessment. The amendment was preceded by much debate. T

The Alps are undergoing constant landscape changes due to modern socio economic changes. Especially grassland ecosystems of alpine meadows and pastures are threatened by the slow abandonment of the alpine transhumance traditions. This influences not only biodiversity but also the important cultural landscape seen as a valuable heritage in the Alps. The landscape in the North Italian alpine provinc

Cameras mounted on boats and in other similar environments can be hard to use if waves and wind cause unwanted motions of the camera which disturbs the desired image. However, this is a problem that can be fixed by applying mechanical image stabilization which is the goal of this thesis. The mechanical image stabilization is achieved by controlling two stepper motors in a pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) camer

En ny akustisk infångningsenhet med kraftigt ökad kapacitet kan anrika nanopartiklar från kroppsvätskor. Det finns otroligt mycket information att utvinna ur biologiska vätskor som blod och urin. Biomolekyler som proteiner, blodkroppar och RNA kan säga väldigt mycket om en patients hälsa. Denna information är därför väldigt användbar för läkare när de ska sätta diagnoser, men för att få ut någonThis thesis outlines the design and construction of an acoustophoretic trapping device with greatly increased capacity and throughput, compared to current commercial systems. In acoustic trapping, a strong, localised acoustic field is generated inside a channel. This field can capture and retain particles against a flow, allowing for nanoparticle purification and enrichment without the need for ul

This research is a critical analysis of a delay regime for multimodal transport, or door-to-door transport. At this day, there are no mandatory rules governing multimodal transport, but a process of creating a set of rules are pending both within UNCITRAL as well as the European Union. Due to the increased use of containers in shipping, multimodal transport has become more common. For this purpose

Children who are placed in foster care because of neglect or abuse have the right to maintain the relationship with their parents, as per the Swedish LVU law, though this is more often than not a complex feat to achieve. The Convention on the Rights of the Child states that children who are capable of forming their views shall be given the right to express those views freely in all matters affecti

Fed aquaculture is a necessary practice to meet the seafood requirements of a growing population in a sustainable manner. There is a high demand for fish feed to meet the rising protein requirements of the industry. Currently, fish feeds are either unsustainable, affected by seasonal variations, lack a complete amino acid profile, lack scalability, or are too expensive. Single Cell Protein (SCP) i

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to explore how consumers navigate and justify their consumption habits while striving for a more sustainable identity. The study examines the internal dilemmas that arise when sustainable values confront the realities of identity expression and social influence. Methodology: A qualitative research approach was adopted, in the form of in-depth interviews, invo

Entrepreneurial intentions have been identified as a relevant precursor to entrepreneurial behavior; however, the complexities of entrepreneurial intention remain under-explored. This study examines the impact of offspring involvement with parental businesses on their entrepreneurial career intentions and the indirect roles of perceived desirability and perceived feasibility. Building primarily on

Introduction: Many countries in the world are still facing high maternal mortality rates and women still die due to preventable pregnancy- and birth-related causes. This could be prevented with an improvement in the quality of care and yet many countries, especially in the rural areas, have challenges in doing so. In order to understand why is care given in certain way, more qualitative studies ne

Issue of study: The starting point for innovation is ideas, which can be seen as fuel to the innovation process as it supplies the innovation funnel with new or improved concepts that finally may spark innovation. There is a vast literature on the success of a few radical ideation methods and the use of creativity tools, while few have dealt with the use and effects of ideation approaches in pract

Many actors in the construction sector as well as in the research community emphasize the importance of experience feedback and knowledge building in order to streamline and improve the working methods. Taking advantage of positive experiences, sharing them with colleagues and documenting them within the organisation can be useful for future projects. On the other hand, negative experiences should

Rätten till utveckling antogs år 1986 och är idag en ”soft law” norm som syftar till att integrera mänskliga rättigheter och utveckling. Rättigheten har alltsedan den antogs varit en kontroversiell del i systemet om mänskliga rättigheter och har blivit hårt kritiserad på grund av dess vaga formulering. Även om den rådande uppfattningen fortfarande är att rätten till utveckling inte är avsedd för rThe Right to Development (RtD) was adopted in 1986 and is today a soft law norm that seeks to integrate human rights and development. Since its adoption the RtD has been surrounded by much controversy in the human rights framework and has been widely criticized for being too vague on its most basic concepts. Although the dominant view is still that the RtD is unsuitable for legal implementation, t
