As a response to limitations of the conventional food system, alternative food networks such as community supported agriculture and direct selling box schemes have emerged in Romania, involving close producer-consumer connections and an emphasis on local and organic produce. Through a multi-case study of two such networks in the city of Cluj-Napoca, their contribution to the establishment of a sus

Development, with its links to capitalism and Western conceptions of progress, is both impossible to achieve and restricts possibilities of other socially and ecologically just worlds. Neoliberal development has long been promoted in agriculture, leading to corporate concentration and is perpetuated under food security discourses. In South Africa, this maintains apartheid racial inequalities. Alte

This thesis investigates the relationship between social capital and peacebuilding, and the potential contribution peacebuilding efforts can make in terms of generating social capital in post-conflict countries. Using a qualitative methodological approach, seven local civil society organizations in Guatemala were interviewed with the purpose of understanding in what way the organizations are contr

A theoretical framework combining

Lag(1993:387) om stöd och service till vissa funktionshindrade trädde i kraft den första januari 1994 som en rättighetslag. Syftet var att människor med funktionsnedsättning skulle få ökad livskvalitet. Genom lagen ville samhället skapa en möjlighet för de som får insatser ”att leva ett liv som andra”.

Bemanningsbranschen har under de senaste årtiondena vuxit kraftigt i Sverige och är idag en etablerad del av arbetsmarknaden. Behovet av att reglera bemanningsbranschen rättsligt insåg EU redan tidigt och efter många turer och skilda åsikter i frågan så kunde EU 2008 beslutaom bemanningsdirektivet. Direktivet skulle vara genomfört i Sverige senast 2011 men blev klart först i januari 2013 då uthyrnThe temporary agency work business has grown considerably over the last decades in Sweden. The need to regulate the business by law was recognized early on by the EU. After a long process and many divergent opinions, the Temporary Agency Work directive was finally agreed upon in 2008. The directive should have been implemented in Sweden in 2011 but the law enforcing it, uthyrningslagen, was not fi

This paper deals with the development of gender attribution in French in child second (cL2) language acquisition. Recordings of two Swedish speaking children with an AOA at the age of 3;5 have been examined between the ages of 4 to 6, and compared to the development of a bilingual first (2L1) language learner during the same period of age. An analysis of the use of noun phrases between the ages

Bakgrund: Patienter som vårdas i somatisk vård kan även vara drabbade av psykiatriska sjukdomar. Sjuksköterskor i den somatiska vården behöver även tillgodose dessa patienters omvårdnadsbehov. Syfte: Att ta del av den forskning som undersöker sjuksköterskors upplevelser av att vårda patienter med psykiatrisk diagnos på somatiska vårdavdelningar. Metod: En litteraturöversikt med kvalitativ ansats s

Sammanfattning I svensk rätt finns flera inskränkningar av den personliga avtalsfriheten. Pactum turpe är en av dessa och inskränkning innebär att vissa former av avtal som faller under den inte erhåller rättsordningens skydd. Under denna bestämmelse innefattas avtal som står i strid med lag eller goda seder, varav den senares innebörd är närmast omöjlig att fastslå. För att avgöra om ett avtal fa

Evidence proves that there are several local party sections in Sweden that performs better results in the local election than they do in the national election. This research seeks to examine what these party organizations do in order to be successful in the local election, by studying party sections from the Swedish Centre Party [Centerpartiet] in the 2010 Swedish elections. Five hypotheses, all c

För att bekämpa den organiserade brottsligheten används, i Sverige och internationellt, provokativa åtgärder. Det innebär att en person provoceras av staten att begå brott eller att presentera bevis för tidigare begångna brott. Det föreligger dock en risk för att provokationer får personer att begå brott som de annars inte hade begått. Åtgärderna har då lett till att brott har tillförts samhället In order to fight organized crime, provocative investigative measures are widely used in Sweden and abroad. This means that a person is provoked by the state to commit a crime or to present evidence of past crimes. However, there is a risk that the police causes people to commit crimes that they otherwise would not have committed. The measures have then led to crimes being added to the community,

Ökad spridning av meticillin-resistenta gula stafylokocker, MRSA, och andra resistenta bakterier är ett växande problem världen över. Samtidigt uppvisar vårdpersonal brister i följsamhet till hygienföreskrifter. Syftet med litteraturstudien var att kartlägga hinder och metoder som påverkar smittspridning av MRSA inom slutenvården. Vald metod var litteraturstudie i vilken åtta vetenskapliga artikla

En vårdnadstvist hör ofta samman med föräldrars separation, vilken kan grunda sig i en konflikt föräldrarna emellan. Domstolens prövning kan även komma att påverka barnet i olika hänseenden. Det händer att en förälder hävdar att det finns en risk för barnet att vara med den andra föräldern. Det kan vara en anklagelse om att den andra föräldern allvarligt har misshandlat barnet eller föräldern, misChild custody cases brought before a civil court often consist of a conflict between two parents. A child custody dispute may also affect the child in several aspects. A parent may claim there is a risk to the child when spending time with the other parent. Such an allegation may consist of child abuse, domestic violence, substance abuse, child abduction or mental ill health. The enumerated circum

Jet production occurs very often in particle physics experiments, and a very good understanding of how partons evolve into jets has been achieved over the last 30 years. The main tool in jet analysis is jet clustering algorithms, and because the problem of clustering particles back to initial partons can not be solved exactly, many different algorithms have been developed. In this work, we propose

I denna B-uppsats har vi undersökt de sista konstitutionerna som Rhodesia och Sydafrika hade innan regimerna i dessa stater föll 1969 respektive 1983. När vi analyserar dem använder vi statsvetaren Arend Lijpharts konsensus- och majoritetsteori. Vi vill se om skillnader i konstitutionerna kan förklara varför övergången till demokrati i Sydafrika blev relativt fredlig medan Rhodesia föll samman i e

We are rushing into an era where there will be no more witnesses to carry on the conversation about what happened during the Holocaust, but that does not mean there will be a lack of facts. The issues are rather how to remember, who is to remember what, and even why remember such atrocities at all. It is often stated that we have to remember to make sure “it” never happens again.
