The aim of the thesis is to investigate the impact of mediatization on the harshen Swedish terror law with the intention to explicate an interaction between media and politics. The analysis applies a deductive approach based on critical security studies and theories of mediatization which will adhere process-tracking as a main strategy. The process-tracking will not show any correlation since the

This thesis analyse different understanding of the world how this leads to different actions with real consequences for people. In a public policy chain from the government of Sweden down to the field in Burkina Faso, civil servants have been interviewed in order to identify changes in discourses and what they may potentially mean. The use of qualitative data gives a deeper understanding of how in

Lek är något som skall vara något positivt, oskyldigt och tillföra glädje för barnen. På förskolor spenderar barnen den mesta av sin vakna tid, där de leker, äter och sover middag. Det är en plats där barnen skall känna sig trygga. Få vet att det faktiskt finns skadliga kemikalier i textiler, köksredskap och till och med i leksaker som en så känslig grupp som barn kommer i kontakt med. Att skadlig

Som följd av klimatförändringar kommer klimatanpassningsåtgärder att bli nödvändiga för att skydda mot effekterna av det förändrade klimatet. Det förändrade klimatet kommer innebära att risken för översvämningar och erosion ökar längs med Sveriges kuster, sjöar och vattendrag. Vem det är som bär ansvaret för att se till att dessa klimatanpassningsåtgärder kommer till stånd råder det en osäkerhet kAs a result of climate change, our society will need to start to adapt to the changing conditions. With these changes the risk of floods, races, spills and erosion along the coasts, lakes and streams of Sweden will increase. The need to take action to counteract these impending risks is strong but how is going to take responsibility for these actions? The purpose of the report is to investigate th

Syftet med denna studie var att beskriva och analysera hur arbetet med ensamkommande barn bedrivs. Forskningsfrågorna fokuserade på hur integrationshandledare arbetar för att tillgodose barnens behov, hur de arbetar med integrationsprocessen och slutligen vilka utmaningar de möter i arbetet. En kvalitativ ansats valdes med semi-strukturerade intervjuer med fem integrationshandledare som primärdatThe purpose of this study was to describe and analyse how the work with asylum-seeking children without parents or guardians is conducted. The underlying questions focused on how the integrations handlers work to fulfil the needs of the children, how they work regarding the children’s integration processes, and finally what challenges they encounter in their work. A qualitative approach was chose

VOR, the versatile optimal resolution chopper spectrometer, is designed to probe dynamic phenomena that are currently inaccessible for inelastic neutron scattering due to flux limitations. VOR is a short instrument by the standards of the European Spallation Source (ESS), 30.2m moderator to sample, and provides instantaneous access to a broad dynamic range, 1-120 meV within each ESS period. The sh

We investigate whether stellar-mass black holes have to receive natal kicks in order to explain the observed distribution of low-mass X-ray binaries containing black holes within our Galaxy. Such binaries are the product of binary evolution, where the massive primary has exploded forming a stellar-mass black hole, probably after a common envelope phase where the system contracted down to separatio

Over the last 15 years significant advancements in induced polarization (IP) research have taken place, particularly with respect to spectral IP (SIP), concerning the understanding of the mechanisms of the IP phenomenon, the conduction of accurate and broadband laboratory measurements, the modelling and inversion of IF data for imaging purposes and the increasing application of the method in near-

This thesis is focused on the early steps of a complex virus-cell interaction. The human adenovirus type 2 (HAdV-2) infects permissive cells, by first recognizing a protein of the immunoglobulin superfamily that serves as the Coxsackie and adenovirus receptor (CAR). This attachment step is mediated by the adenovirus fiber protein. Subsequently, in order to proceed to a tighter binding, the viral p

The aim of this work is that from experimental determined cutting process parameters be able to predict the plasticity input constants to Finite Element Method (FEM) models. In the present study the Johnson-Cook constitutive model constants are determined on the basis of cutting process parameters in orthogonal cutting and by use of inverse analysis. Previously established links between Johnson-Co

We first derive necessary and sufficient stiff order conditions, up to order four, for exponential splitting schemes applied to semilinear evolution equations. The main idea is to identify the local splitting error as a sum of quadrature errors. The order conditions of the quadrature rules then yield the stiff order conditions in an explicit fashion, similarly to that of Runge–Kutta schemes. Furth

By measuring excited state and charge dynamics in blends of an alternating polyfluorene copolymer and fullerene derivative over nine orders in time and two orders in light intensity, we have monitored the light-induced processes from ultrafast charge photogeneration to much slower decay of charges by recombination. We find that at low light intensities relevant to solar cell operation relatively f

Summary The leaking of water through roofs is a major problem in many parts of Tunisia. As a part of a collaboration between "École N: ionale d'Ingénieurs de Tunis" (E.N.I.T.) and Lund University, Institute of Science and Technology (L.N.T.H.), Sweden, a measuring method has been developed to compare the watertightness of different roofing membranes. With the method, three roof structues with diff

Om platser verkligen är av betydelse, vilket ekonomiska geografer anser, då måste de vara som mest betydelsefulla för de människor vars liv utspelar sig på dessa platser, och upplever världen, materiellt kan kulturellt, genom den. När en kris och efterföljande osäkerheter drabbar en plats så påverkar detta främst människorna som kallar denna platsen för sitt hem. Ibland till den grad att en del avIf places indeed matter, as economic geographers believe, then it must matter most to the people who live their everyday lives in these places and experience the world materially and socially through it. When a crisis hits and uncertainty ensues, it affects people who call these places home the most. So much so, that some of them might be willing to stake a claim on its recovery, and development t

Fungi and bacteria are the two principal microbial groups in soil, responsible for the breakdown of organic matter (OM). The relative contribution of fungi and bacteria to decomposition is thought to impact biogeochemical cycling at the ecosystem scale, whereby bacterially dominated decomposition supports the fast turnover of easily available substrates, whereas fungal-dominated decomposition lead

This dissertation examines Swedish welfare workers’ attitudes towards migrants and migration, their perceptions of welfare work with migrants and organisational working conditions. The dissertation is based on original survey data capturing attitudes and views of welfare workers in two Swedish welfare organisations. The thesis’ conceptual framework draws on three perspectives: street-level bureauc

Varje år ökar världens energiförbrukning på grund av befolkningstillväxt och ökande levnadsstandard. Vi står inför många stora problem, till exempel klimatförändringar, uttömning av fossila energikällor (t. ex. petroleum, kol och naturgas) och miljöföroreningar. Därför är det brådskande att söka efter förnyelsebar energi och hur människor kan använda energi så effektivt och ändamålsenligt som möjlThe demand and consumption of energy is increasing dramatically all around the world. Broad adoption of fossil fuels has triggered an enormous threat to the environment. To ensure sustainability of our species and habitat, new solutions to fulfill the energy demand have to be found. Innovative materials offer the possibility to generate scalable renewable energy, which is efficient and environment
