Not much is known about how one-to-one meetings in offender supervision are conducted. Existing research mainly focuses on evidence-based models, how the probation officer should interact with the probationer rather than studying how the probation officer and probationer actually interact. This study was conducted in order to find out what happens during one-to-one supervision meetings and how the

Innovation is a key factor for sustainable growth and profitability of companies. As innovative, small, start-ups tend to grow, it is important to understand how the innovation performance can be maintained during the growth. The often relatively unstructured organisations of small companies need to implement structures in order to control the operations as they grow. There are contradictions and

Denna uppsats visar att häxkonst inte är något dåligt för utveckling. Mycken forskning antar att häxkonst är dåligt för utveckling. Sådan forskning var inkorrekt. Faktum är att häxkonst till och med kan vara bra för utveckling, för att den hjälper människor att samarbeta och arbeta tillsammans.A bulk of research states that witchcraft is an antithesis to development. This thesis finds that that is an assumption, which cannot explain the case of the Giriama. The results of this thesis has the implications that witchcraft may indeed exist in a modern developed setting, that people in the West/North could have witchcraft beliefs as well, and that witchcraft does not have to be valued negat

This paper deals with a traditional method for creating portfolios of financial assets known as the mean-variance portfolio theory and especially a specific case of the theory known as the global minimum variance portfolio. A disadvantage with many of the models that exist within portfolio theory is that they do often only consider a few quantified variables in the calculations and this could cau

The main purpose of this thesis has been to investigate the possible influence that Origen's eschatology, and above all his teaching of apokatastasis, has had for the Venerable Bede's teachings on postmortem purgation and punishment of the soul. The general question behind the work is what importance Origen's teachings has had for the later doctrine of Purgatory. I have limited the inv

Det empiriska materialet i studien är semistrukturerade intervjuer med fem ungdomar i åldrarna 16-20 år. Intervjuerna innehåller ett flertal argument s

Det här arbetet undersöker tillgänglighet till miljöanpassad teknik i utvecklingsländer och hur tillgängligheten kan påverkas av det patenträttsliga systemet. Spridning av miljöanpassad teknik har länge ansetts vara en viktig komponent för stävjandet av klimatförändringar. Det här har föranlett en debatt inom ramen för internationella forum kopplade till Klimatkonventionen och TRIPS. Frågan som This paper investigates the availability of environmentally sound technology in developing countries and how the availability can be affected by patent law. Availability of environmentally sound technologies has for a long time been considered important as a mean to prevent climate change. This has led to a debate, both within UNFCCC and TRIPS, about what role patent rights play for the availabi

Klimatförändringarna med stigande havsnivåer och översvämningar som följd kan utgöra ett hot mot befintlig och planerad bebyggelse (IPCC, 2014). Syftet med examensarbetet är att undersöka hur befintliga enfamiljshus kan skadas av översvämningar, samt hitta lösningsförslag på nybyggnationer som kan klara av översvämningar och stormar. Syftet med detta är även att väcka nya tankar hos företag och ko

In this thesis, I investigate the relation between assessed speaking proficiency and measured complexity and accuracy in twenty test-takers’ performance in the oral part of the Swedish certificate test Swedex B2. Accuracy and complexity have been measured in seven different ways; both global and local measures from the CAF (Complexity–Accuracy–Fluency) triad have been used. Also, each test-taker’s

The purpose of this study is to examine how social workers of economic aid experience threats, violations and disrespect in their occupation and also how they experience their own safety as well as their organization’s support. In this study I use a qualitative method to investigate their experiences by doing semi-structural interviews. Previous research is used to explain and give further underst

Den process som följer efter att miljökonsekvensbeskrivningen (MKB) har utfärdats behandlas i för liten utsträckning och i Trafikverkets egen handbok för MKB beskrivs att integreringen av miljöfrågor i planerings- och projekteringsprocessen är en av de största utmaningarna. Syftet med detta examensarbete är att kartlägga hur miljörisker i MKB hanteras i ett investeringsprojekts övergripande projekThe process that follows the environmental impact assessment (EIA) is treated in an insufficient extent and the Swedish Transport Administration's own manual for EIA describes that the integration of environmental issues in the planning and projection process is one of the largest challenges. The purpose of this thesis is to investigate how environmental risks in the EIA is managed in a projec

Utrymningshissar – Kommer människor använda dem? Vi har sedan en lång tid tillbaka fått lära oss att inte använda hissen när det brinner. Vilken påverkan har dessa lärdomar när människor förväntas använda speciella hissar som är anpassade för att fungera vid utrymning, så kallade utrymningshissar? Utrymningshissar förekommer framförallt i höga byggnader och eftersom byggnaderna runt om i världThe aim of this study is to investigate whether people tend to escape by stairs or by emergency egress elevator when both are available in a high-rise building. It is also investigated whether the evacuation alarm has an impact on people’s exit choice. Another aim is to identify the risks associated with the different escape routes and which factors that influence the exit choice. It is also inves

My thesis focuses on the Lund-based architect Klas Anshelm’s two exhibition spaces. In an introductory formal analysis, his first exhibition space, Lunds konsthall, built in 1956, is compared with the latter Malmö konsthall from 1975. Using this formal analysis, I apply theoretical discussions on the material using Beatriz Colominas writings on Adolf Loos and Le Corbusier in Privacy and Publicity,

Fiberförstärkta plastkonstruktioners inverkan på risknivå ombord på stora passagerarfartyg Användning av fiberförstärkta plastkonstruktioner (FRP) inom den marina sektorn har blivit alltmer intressant ur ett hållbarhetsperspektiv. Problemet med FRP som byggnadsmaterial är att det är brännbart, vilket på grund av tradition och reglering gör det svårt att övergå från, det mer traditionella materialeThe main objective of this project was to determine how a FRP composite structure performs compared to a steel structure in regard to fire safety and risk level during an evacuation. More specifically the objective was to study how the differences in the thermal properties influence the smoke layer height, visibility and the temperature of the gases in the early stages of a fire. This was done by
