This thesis studies love migration from Russia to Sweden. It delves into the Swedish perception of this phenomenon, as well as the underlying reasons therefor. It compiles and recontextualizes relevant prior research and compliments the work of others with an original interview with a Russian woman who moved to Sweden for marriage around a decade years ago. The study finds that while Russians and
In 2007, a new regulatory framework in the European economic area opened up to a less regulated market. Now, share trading was not only done on the main stock markets but could also take place at alternative trading facilities. The deregulation led to greater competition, better consumer protection and a fragmented market with alternative trading facilities, which are subject to less regulation. T
En stor del av världens sjötransporter går mellan Asien och Europa. Idag är den södra rutten genom Suez-kanalen populärast, men efter att isen i Arktis börjat smälta har den norra rutten öppnats upp som en möjlig utmanare till den södra rutten och skeppsägare ställs nu inför ett val. Sjötransport är en riskfylld verksamhet och både den södra och den norra rutten innehåller områden med ökad risk. There are two main shipping routes between Europe and Asia, among those the Southern Route through the Suez Canal is by far the most popular route. Due to a decrease in Arctic sea ice, the Northern Sea Route have opened up and is expected to become a viable alternative and a possible competitor to the Southern Route. The purpose of this essay is to contribute by advising ship-owners on what route
From the year of 2000 to 2010 the increase in expenditures for the Swedish households on furnishings, household equipment and routine maintenance of the house is 67%, for clothing and footwear the increase is 50%. Our total consumption from the same years has increased by 23%. I started this project by researching on the human sociology in relation to private consumption. Why do we spend so much
At present there are no concrete guidelines how to calculate the pressure resistance capacity of the timber at the load perpendicular to grain. The test options ASTM, CEN and ICO gives three different results in testing of an equal body. With this knowledge the value for the characteristic compressive strength capacity of the pressure perpendicular to the grain will be reduced to 2.7 MPa. The reduc
This thesis investigates Storasystertips, or big sister advice amongst young Swedish women on TikTok and how it reflects gender dynamics and societal expectations on young women in contemporary society. Women’s cultural production is often met with disdain and reduced to being narcissistic, not realising that young women’s production is in fact shaped by broader postfeminist and neoliberal discour
En mobilitetslösning för framtidens landsbygd Finns det alternativ eller komplement till den privatägda bilen? Skulle du som bor på eller arbetar med landsbygden våga testa och fortsätta använda ett sådant alternativ om det erbjöds? Detta testas i Skåne under ett års tid, där det dessutom visat sig att många är villiga att prova nya alternativ – när dessa görs möjliga och tillgängliga i vardagen.The transport sector contributes significantly to air pollution and requires suitable alternatives to help mitigate climate change. In the municipalities of Sjöbo, Svalöv and Tomelilla in Skåne, Sweden, Skånetrafiken is currently running a pilot project for on-demand public transport, called SkåneFlex. This study aims to examine the reasoning behind the design of SkåneFlex and to explore whether i
Tillsammans med klimatförändringar och omfattande överfiske utgör IUU-fiske (olagligt, orapporterat och oreglerat fiske) ett allvarligt hot mot den marina biodiversiteten globalt. En särskilt drabbad region är Västafrika, där kuststater historiskt har haft rikliga fiskeresurser inom sina exklusiva ekonomiska zoner (EEZ) i Atlanten. Den ökande förekomsten av industriellt fiske, till stor del represExacerbated by climate change and general overfishing, illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing poses a serious threat to marine biodiversity globally. One particularly affected region is West Africa, where coastal States have historically possessed abundant fishing resources within their Exclusive Economic Zones (EEZs) in the Atlantic Ocean. The reliance on industrial-scale fishing, lar
Number theory is in a sense among the oldest disciplines of mathematics. A running theme is that many number theoretic problems are very easy to state and understand. However, actually solving these problems often requires much work or some very clever trick. An extreme case of this would be Fermat's last theorem: originally a conjecture by French lawyer Pierre de Fermat whose statement is und

The purpose of this Master's thesis is to study how children's and youth librarians mediate non-fiction books in public libraries. Our overarching research question is as follows: to which extent, how, and for what reasons do children's and youth librarians mediate non-fiction? We have chosen to limit our study to the practice of booktalking. In order to answer questions on extent we
In recent years more attention has been given to the rights of the indigenous peoples. Global awareness has been raised concerning the difficult circumstances under which they live. The ILO Convention No 169 and the UN Draft Declaration will serve as foundations for a new relationship between States and their indigenous peoples, promoting a stronger protection against discrimination and violations
Ickekonstitutionella regeringsförändringar har varit ett stort problem i Afrika sen avkoloniseringen och militärkupper har varit en minst lika vanlig form av regeringsbyte som demokratiska val. Afrikanska unionen (AU) har sen den bildades 2001 utvecklat den afrikanska internationella rätten för att kunna hantera dessa situationer. AU:s föregångare Organisationen för afrikansk enighet (OAU) hade inUnconstitutional changes of government has been a major problem in Africa since decolonization with military coups being a more common way of changing government than democratic elections. The African Union (AU) was established in 2001 and has since then provided a significant development of the African law, not the least in the branch of law covering the AU response to unconstitutional changes of
Energy use and energy feedback - An evaluation of Sweden’s largest energy saving experiment at E.ON E.ON Sverige AB is now performing Sweden’s largest energy saving experiment to see if its customers can reduce their electricity consumption just by visualizing it. The experiment turns to 10 000 of E.ON’s customers, having an annual consumption exceeding 10 000 kWh. Customers are equipped with a di
Tack vare solen och geotermisk värme har marken två naturliga källor till värmeenergi, och p.g.a. trögheten att ändra temperatur har marken en jämnare temperaturvariation än luften. Detta är gynnsamt för den som vill utnyttja geoenergi. Detta är en förnyelsebar energikälla som fått allt mer uppmärksamhet på marknaden de senaste åren. Under begreppet förnyelsebar geoenergi ligger två olika metoder;Because of the sun and geothermal heat the ground has two natural recourses for heat energy, and since the ground changes temperature slower than the air it has a more even temperature fluctuation. This is positive for the use of geothermal energy which is a renewable method that has been given more attention lately due to it positive environmental effects. The term renewable geothermal energy in
Upptäcka gener inblandade i diabetes I många sjukdomar, så som diabetes, spelar människans gener en viktig roll i vem som insjuknar och hur utvecklingen sker. Därför är det viktigt att, i den mån det går, identifiera dessa gener så vid insjuknande, ge varje patient en mer specialiserad vård som kan bromsa sjukdomsförloppet. Diabetes är en metabolisk sjukdom där kroppen inte kan reglera glukoshaAbstract Aims/hypothesis Diabetes, a metabolic disease rapidly increasing worldwide, is triggered by both genetic and environmental factors. Longitudinal studies, such as the Malmö Prospective Project (MPP), give a unique opportunity to study life-long risk of developing a disease. In MPP, more than 2,000 individuals developed diabetes during a mean 25-year follow-up time. However, patients with
The Expansion of Higher Education in the Swedish the Welfare State and the Reconfiguration of its Professional Workforce Gunnar Olofsson The rapid expansion of the Swedish university sector has channelled many students into study programs that lead to employment in new kinds of jobs, occupations and professional groups. There are three main reasons why more and more occupations get their training
