Social work with quality? Public Comparisons as show-window and tool Auditing, evaluations, rankings and performance measurements of the public sector are often presented as tools to ensure accountability, improvement, quality and transparancy in publicly funded organizations. One such tool is called "Public Comparisons" (Öppna jämförelser), a Swedish publicly reported measurement of qu
Scientific views on what children are capable of have been revised through history again and again, usually when new methods of studying children’s capabilities are presented. What has often been concluded is that children are capable of more than what was previously thought. New technology has introduced a genre of educational games which utilize the captivating power of computer games which have
It has been discussed how important the contributions of informal investors in supporting entrepreneurs and developing startups. The market for informal venture capital is almost invisible source of financing for entrepreneurial ventures, which can explain the difficulty of finding these investors. However, what if the entrepreneur were able to find virgin angel, private individuals who want to un
Sammanfattning I detta examensarbete besvarar jag frågan om svenska domännamn har ett immaterialrättsligt skydd. Fråga är intressant av flera aspekter. Rättsområdet är relativt ungt och behovet av domännamn uppstod så sent som i början på 1980-talet. Det nya systemet att adressera datorer på Internet fick namnet Domain Name System (DNS). Utvecklingen och spridningen av Internet har sedan dess variSummary in English In my thesis I answer the question whether any intellectual property rights protect Swedish domain names. This question is interesting due to several aspects. The legal area is relatively young and the demand for domain names occurred as late as in the early 1980s. The new system to address computers on the Internet was named Domain Names System (DNS). The development and distri
An engineering approach to the evaluation of the TCP as a narrowband bearer for short messages in the low latency train-trackside communication scenario is described in this report. The project was developed in cooperation with Bombardier Transportation Sweden AB as a part of the “ETCS over GPRS” venture. With the increase of the demands from the railway industry, the currently used circuit-switc
Brain Machine Interface (BMI) denominates a collection of systems which interface with the Central Nervous System (CNS). Implementation of a BMI involves the detection, extraction, processing, and translation of the signals from the Central Nervous System. A simulator to generate extracellular recordings is proposed by P.T.Thorbergsson, H. Jorntell, F.Bengtsson, M.Garwicz, J. Schouenborg, A.J Joh
Thesis purpose: To identify relevant criteria underlying the partner selection process in a leading company in the consumer technology industry, as well as to subsequently analyse the influences which those criteria have on overall outcome. The intention is to draw valid implications for future research as well as for actors in similar market environments. Methodology: The researchers of this pa
The history of the population control movement is one replete with controversies and where narratives about coercive population control policies and programs abound. Questionable practices such as the wide sterilization campaigns as took place in India during its state of emergency period in the 1970s or the use of contraceptives in the developing world already banned from Western markets contribu
In the last decade a new and alternative source of geospatial data has become available, so called Volunteered Geographic Information (VGI). Private individuals voluntarily collect large amount of geographic data for a joint project. This data are usually free under certain licence restrictions. One of the most well known examples of VGI is the OpenStreetMap (OSM) project. Due to its increasing p
Purpose: To find out in what ways signs of healthier varieties in store, affect and possible change, customer behaviour. Methodology: The study has a positivistic view on the world. The research is conducted by an abductive approach using theory and empirical data alternately. Both quantitative and qualitative methods have been adopted in order to see changes in customer behaviour as well as expla
Försäkringsrätten är till sin karaktär väldigt speciell eftersom avtalsförhållan-det rör de två primära avtalsparterna, men också övriga premiebetalare. Både genom utfallet men också genom bedömningen som sedermera blir vägle-dande för övriga försäkringstagare. En variant på försäkring är den allomfat-tande allriskförsäkringen, som till sin karaktär ska vara mer heltäckande än en reguljär egendomsInsurance law is inherently unique because the contractual relationship primar-ily involves two main parties but also impacts other premium payers. This occurs both through the outcome of disputes and through the interpretative precedents established, which subsequently guide other insurance holders. One form of insurance is the comprehensive "all-risk" insurance, designed to be more inc
The aim of this research is to study three particle correlations in pseudo-rapidity for the $\Lambda^0$,$\Xi^0$, and $\Omega^-$ hyperons with a focus on their baryon and strangeness quantum numbers. The two primary questions asked are, into which particles are these quantum numbers typically conserved, and what are their correlations in momentum space. The research investigates these problems by e
Tetra Pak, a global leader in packaging solutions, seeks to optimize inkjet printing as a more flexible alternative to traditional methods. Although inkjet printing offers rapid design customization and reduced waste, its performance is hindered by issues such as unwanted satellite droplets. Capturing the formation of these droplets at microsecond timescales demands specialized experimental method
Fiberbanks have recently received attention as potential greenhouse gas (GHG) sources in Sweden. Fiberbanks are anthropogenically caused fibre-rich sediments in aquatic environments formed by unregulated discharge of fibrous wastewater from historical pulp and paper industries. A majority of fiberbanks show signs of gas ebullition, mainly consisting of methane and carbon dioxide, resulting from an
Brand authenticity plays a crucial role in a brand’s growth according to previous research, but little research has been conducted to examine how growth may affect brand authenticity. It has been conventional practice in the branding world to study brand authenticity based predominantly on consumer perceptions rather than studying brands’ ability to remain authentic over an extended time period. A
Uppsatsen handlar om en oklarhet i rätten till självförsvar enligt FN-stadgan, nämligen när en väpnad attack utförd av en grupp som inte är en del av en stats reguljära armé ändå kan vara hänförbar till den staten ge-nom internationella hänförbarhetsregler. Den relevanta rätten för att avgöra om en väpnad attack är hänförbar till en stat är FN-stadgan, ARSIWA, och internationella domstolars rättsThis essay aims to clear up the obscurity of the right to self-defense in the Charter of the United Nations, and more precisely when an armed attack committed by a group that is not part of a state’s regular army is attributa-ble to the state in question by the rules of attribution in international law. The relevant legal sources for deciding whether an armed attack committed by a group is attrib
Avhandlingens syfte är att undersöka effektiviteten av tillgång till rättvisa för ursprungsbefolkningar i ljuset av rättigheterna till landområden, territorier och naturresurser. Detta kommer att göras genom att undersöka både rättspraxis från Interamerikanska domstolen för mänskliga rättigheter (och ett fall från Högsta domstolen i Brasilien), den rättsliga ramen på internationell nivå och andra The thesis's purpose is to look into the effectiveness of access to justice for indigenous peoples in the light of the rights to lands, territories and natural resources. This will be done by looking into both the jurisprudence of the Inter-American Court of Human Rights (and one case from the Supreme Court of Brazil), the legislative framework on an international level and other relevant sour
Pollution and its impact on the environment is one of the greatest problems facing humanity today. Since the building sector is responsible for 40\% of the total carbon dioxide emissions, it is important to investigate the sector to see how emissions can be reduced. Due to timber having a smaller impact on the environment compared to steel and concrete, it is of substance to investigate the possib
ABSTRACT This dissertation focuses on Sweden’s involvement in applying EU anti-dumping measures within the framework of its WTO commitments. Laying emphasis on the dilemma of liberal trade policy evident in Sweden on one hand and safeguarding its Indigenous industries from unfair competition on the other hand, this research seeks to unravel how this country fulfills its obligations to the EU and t
