Popular Abstract in Swedish Att klara sig trots allt: Den sociala och produktiva dynamiken hos småbönderna i de halvtorra områdena i Iringa i norra Tanzania. Det är inte lätt att överleva som småbonde i de halvtorra områdena i Iringa och på liknande platser i Afrika. Man kontrollerar knappast sin egen livssituation. Regnen är opålitliga, priser, marknadsföring och politiska ingrepp är oförutsägbaWhile much of semi-arid Africa is still sparsely populated with unused land, there are everywhere pockets of high and increasing population density in attractive locations. Small-scale farmers can respond to beginning land-scarcity in a number of ways. Through migration, through diversification of livelihoods, or through changes in their farming system. Which solution is chosen, depends not only o

Popular Abstract in Swedish Jordens totala energiförbrukning stiger. Samtidigt förbrukas primärt fossila naturresurser som kan anses ändliga, så som olja, kol eller naturgas, för att tillgodose energibehovet. Även andra energikällor används, t.ex. kärnbränsle, vind och vatten. Denna avhandling fokuserar på energi som omvandlas vid förbränning av gas i gasturbiner. Eftersom naturgas är ett fossilt In this thesis, the effect of alternative gaseous fuels, with high hydrogen content and lower calorific value, on gas turbine combustion was investigated experimentally. The aim of the investigation was to find operational limitations for an experimental burner and to supply data for validation of computational fluid dynamics (CFD). Before examination of the actual burner, the laminar flame speed

Ultrasonography as a tool measuring the anterior capsular distance in THA was so far not described nor validated. Comparing the measurements of the capsular distance set with a caliper/ruler with those performed with ultrasonography on a THA model demonstrated a high correlation between measurements. The effect of experience of ultrasonography in THA was also evaluated comparing the first and last

Syftet med uppsatsen är att utreda kriminaliseringen av våldtäkt inom äktenskap. Detta har gjorts utifrån bland annat statens offentliga utredningar, remissinstansers yttranden och protokoll från riksdagens två kammare. Vilka huvudsakliga faktorer som bidrog till kriminaliseringen är den ledande frågeställningen som genomsyrar uppsatsen. Våldtäkt är ett omdiskuterat ämne i dagens samhälle och harThe purpose of this essay is to study the criminalization of rape within marriage. The essay is based on the state's public inquiries, opinions from several referral bodies and the protocol from the two-chamber Parliament. What pervades this essay is to find the main factors that contributed to the criminalization. Rape has always been a hotly debated question and a serious crime. Today there

Sammanfattning Organiserad brottslighet samt hur man bekämpar och förebygger detta relativt utbredda problem är ett prioriterat område som får allt större utrymme i svensk kriminalpolitik. Det pågår en samhällsdebatt om att införa ett kronvittnessystem i Sverige. Justitieminister Beatrice Ask förespråkar systemet i hopp om att komma till bukt med den organiserade brottsligheten. Det svenska rätAbstract Means to prevent and reduce the growth of organized crime is a prioritized area in Swedish criminal politics. There is an ongoing debate about the introduction of a crown witness system in Sweden. The minister of Justice, Beatrice Ask, supports the system in hope to reduce organized crime. The Swedish legal system and its laws are restrained to reward criminals who contribute to investi

According to TCO (The Swedish Confederation for Professional Employees) the worst threat to the Swedish welfare is that so many people because of bad health and unemployment are not a part of the labour force. If Sweden could make the number of people with health and unemployment problems half the size as today, the GDP would increase with more than five percent. In real money this means 110 billi

I takt med att befolkningen i Sverige har ökat har även behovet av mat blivit större. För att producera mer mat har jordbruket intensifierats och användandet av gödsel och bekämpningsmedel har ökat. Förutom de positiva effekterna med högre skördar har detta även skapat miljöproblem. Ett av dessa är övergödning, som på sommaren orsakar den algblomning man kan se i sjöar och hav. Ett annat problem äThe Swedish agriculture has become more intense and large-scale by the use of artificial fertilizers and chemical pesticides. While the intensification has contributed to an increased harvest, it has also brought with it several environmental problems. This thesis brings up two of the main problems: eutrophication and the loss of biodiversity. These problem areas are also addressed by the Swedish

Abstract: In the past ten years in Sweden, the numbers of people between the ages of 16-19 who were unemployed or not in upper secondary school education have increased. This was assumed to be caused by three factors. Firstly the upper secondary school education reforms in 1992, secondly a substantially reduced labour market for young people without the upper secondary school education and thirdly

Although direct taxation falls under the sovereignty of each individual Member State, that sovereignty must be practiced with respect for community legislation and the EC Treaty. National legislation that in any way hinders the freedoms guaranteed by the Treaty or discourages nationals of a Member State to practice those freedoms is infringing the EC Treaty and is not to be tolerated. The number o

The study of spin transport has emerged at the forefront of condensed matter physics during the last decade. Much of the interest has undoubtedly been sparked by the advent of the spintronics paradigm and the idea of creating novel electronic devices based on the spin degree of freedom of the carriers. However, a great deal of interest is due to the rich physics that emerges from the study of spin

Background: Elderly people living in nursing homes (NHs) have multiple diseases as well as risk factors that may complicate optimal medication. Malnutrition and impaired renal function are two of those risk factors. Heart failure is common and may often not be treated or diagnosed adequately in elderly patients.Objectives: The aim of this thesis was to explore different risk factors for elderly wi

This thesis consists of four self-contained essays on different conflicts shaping local government policy. The first essay examines how population aging affects the generosity of public long-term care. Aging may directly affect long-term care policy as the elderly become a more important voter group. However, concerns for other citizens may dampen the political importance of the elderly. Fixed e

According to Lundquist, professor in political science at Lund University, there are six different kinds of steering that rule the activities of the authority. The different kinds of steering can be divided into two different groups&semic direct and indirect steering. Steering by order means that the superior rules how the public authority perform their duty in individual matters. Steering by

When deciding upon the usage of direct deliveries as opposed to central inventories, efficiency and strategic effects need to be considered. Operations management literature on efficiency effects is not hard to find but literature describing what other factors can affect the decision is more scarce. Even less literature can be found on the theme of deciding between direct or indirect physical flow

Bakgrund: För att tillverkande företag skall kunna vara konkurrenskraftiga, så är det viktigt att kontinuerligt sträva efter att eliminera alla orsaker till slöseri. En av de verktyg som kan användas för att bekämpa slöseri är TPM, vilket huvudsakligen är ett strukturerat sätt för att öka företagets tillförlitlighet till sina maskiner och produktionseffektiviteten genom att förstärka företagets unBackground: In order for manufacturing companies to stay competitive today, it is important to continuously strive towards eliminating any sources of waste. One of the tools to address waste elimination is to work with Total Productive Maintenance (TPM), which essentially is a structured way of improving the company’s machine reliability and production effectiveness through enhancing the sites mai
