Since the 1970s, the practice of conscripting, enlisting or recruiting children into armed groups or forces has become increasingly common, and many children are used for various tasks in conflicts around the globe. Children are easily persuaded or forced into such armed groups or forces, and they suffer great harm from exposure to violence. Girls are generally recruited in the same manner as boys

Identity and being sami - a qualitative content analysis of sami people's stories about identity The aim of this study has been to analyze sami people’s stories about identity in Samefolket journal. Our intent was to find out if historical events was being portrated in their stories and to analyze what is including or excluding for sami identity. By doing a content analysis of 14 articles we

The aim of this study was to examine how death and mourning is portrayed in children’s books used in social work. A selection of five books, all written relatively recently and originating from Western European countries, was made based on advice from a hospital library, an important resource for medical social workers. These books were analyzed using content analysis, where we searched for themes

In the face of climate change wind energy plays an increasing role in Norway. The construction of new wind farms causes opposition and conflicts with, among others, Sámi reindeer herders who are concerned about losing their pastures. By using Schlosberg’s (2004) environmental justice framework, I explore the justice implications of wind energy with regard to Sámi reindeer husbandry in the case of

The old observatory in Lund is a building which is protected by Kulturmiljölagen. The building has been empty for nearly 20 years and is in desperate need of renovation because of its poor condition and doesn´t live up to modern requirement for fire safety and accessibility. The municipality of Lund request suggestions for a new function for the observatory with related changes which could be acce

In recent years the Swedish construction sector has enjoyed a literal building boom. This is the culmination of a growing population and lack of housing, construction is at its highest level in decades. Swedish contractors are simply not meeting the demand and numerous analysts have warned against the consequences of a crash in the construction sector. Industry interest organizations have suggeste

The significance of horses for future riding therapists The aim of this study was to examine how significant future riding therapists' interaction with horses is for how they come to view the importance of the horse in social adaptive work. The data consisted of 25 riding therapy students' essays, in which they had been instructed to describe the horse's importance to themselves from

The choice of light source is important for eco-efficient lighting. To assess the echoeffectiveness, it is essential to clarify how much and what kind of light you need, for each specific situation. To analyze this it is crucial to understand the need for different wavelengths. The Plasma lamp has a continuous spectrum and gives a relatively high proportion of photons with high energy. In many cri

Background: In order to diagnose children with ADHD, the DSM-IV measures inattention (IA) and hyperactivity/impulsivity (HI) behavior in the context of significant impairment social and academic function. In order to diagnose, symptoms must be present in two different setting, which is commonly established in terms of home and school behaviors with the help of parent and teacher reports. Previous

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Det var en gång... historien om en vulkan. The Dunedin Volcano är belägen utmed östkusten på Nya Zeelands södra ö. Stora delar av både östkusten och de centrala delarna har under de senaste 40 miljoner åren upplevt perioder med intra platt vulkanism orsakad av en temperatur anomali i övre manteln under både Nya Zeelands Sydö och delar av havet öster om. VulkaneThe Portobello Peninsula is made up by volcanic sediments, lava flows and numerous dikes. Deposition of sediments and lava flows is thought be early in the evolution of the Dunedin Volcano. The lava flows of Portobello Peninsula are silica saturated, belonging to a lineage differing from the two major lineages previously inferred to exist in the volcano (Coombs and Wilkinson, 1969). This new linea

Recently, the media in Sweden has reported a growing problem with incorrectly accomplished interpretations in court hearings as a threat to the rule of law: the lack of competence and therefore the quality of the interpretation are pointed out as the main factors to the problem. The general purpose of this paper is to examine how the norm, Good interpretation practice, can influence the rule of la

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Fjällen i Kebnekaiseområdet är bland de högsta i Sverige (runt 2000 m.ö.h.) och de är uppbyggda av en mängd olika bergarter. Dessa bergarter bildades ursprungligen långt väster om våran fjällkedja på olika platser och fördes samman under den så kallade Kaledoniska orogenesen. En orogenes orsakas vanligtvis av att två kontinenter kolliderar med varandra och berThe tectonostratigraphic units in northern Kebnekaise Mountains mainly belong to the Seve Nappe Complex. These rocks were originally formed at the continental margin of Baltica in Late-Proterozoic time and mainly consist of amphibolite, granitic gneisses and metasediments. The metamorphic grade is usually amphibolite facies. The areas investigated in this work, Nallo and Mårma, consist of four di

En ökad medvetenhet om värdet av ett rent grundvatten yttrar sig i allt fler sammanhang, bl.a. i det nationella miljömål om grundvatten av god kvalitet som riksdagen presenterat. Simrishamns kommun ser över vattenskyddsområdena runt kommunens grundvattentäkter för att säkerställa ett rent grundvatten. Målet med detta examensarbete är att ta fram ett underlag som skall kunna ligga till grund för avThe increased awareness of the value of clean groundwater can be seen in a growing number of contexts. This is also emphasized in the national environmental goals, put up by the Swedish government. The municipality of Simrishamn, in southern Sweden, is re-evaluating the extension of the existing restriction areas around the groundwater wells of the municipality. The aims in this investigation were

I denna undersökning har en stratigrafiskt högupplösande glödförluststudie utförts på senglaciala och tidigholocena sjösediment från Atteköps mosse i nordvästra Skåne. Studien har kompletterats med kornstorleksanalyser, kolanalyser, mätningar av magnetisk susceptibilitet och AMS 14C-dateringar. Undersökningen påvisar ett karaktäristiskt mönster i sedimentens sammansättning och i glödförlustkurvan,In this study, a high resolution loss on ignition analysis was performed over the Late Weichselian lacustrine sediments retrieved from Atteköps mosse, southwestern Sweden. The data set was complemented by grain-size measurements, total carbon analysis, magnetic susceptibility and AMS 14C dates. The analyzed data set reveals a characteristic pattern in lithology and the loss on ignition curve, wher

Stora metamorfa kontraster kännetecknar Seveskollorna i norra delen av Sareks nationalpark och deras inbördes ordning kan inte förklaras med normal "in-sequence thrusting". Seveskollorna, som i området representeras av Sarektjåhkkå-, Sierggavagge-, Mihka- och Tsähkkokskollorna, utgjorde den yttersta delen av den passiva kontinentkant som bildades när superkontinenten Rodinia sprack upp iThe Seve Nappe Complex (SNC) in the northern part of the Sarek Mountains, in NW Sweden, is characterized by large metamorphic contrasts between the individual thrust sheets. Eclogite facies and lower greenschist facies rocks are interleaved in a pattern that cannot be explained by normal in-sequence thrusting. In the northern part of the Sarek Mountains, the SNC is represented by the Sarektjåhkkå,

Popular summary: Hydrocarbons, ground water and economic minerals occur in pores (voids) between sediment grains, which later may form more solid and less porous sedimentary rocks. Thus porosity is a term that describes the abundance of these pores and can be defined as the quantity of oil, gas, water and economic minerals a rock can hold and it is expressed as percentages (%). The other importa

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Mössbauerspektra är en metod som används för att bestämma hur ett mineral, eller molekyl, är uppbyggt. Man undersöker ett visst grundämne, inom geologin undersöker man oftast järn. Efter att ha analyserat ett prov i spektrometern kan man få uppgifter om var och hur järnet sitter i mineralet, eller molekylen. Metoden bygger på att man skickar gammastrålning av eThe Mössbauer effect is used in this work to determine the oxidation and site occupation in biotites that have been treated in different pHs. The work also gives an introduction to the theory behind the Mössbauer effect as well as Mössbauer spectroscopy. It is obvious that the pH has a significant role in the oxidation of the biotites, the more acidic the sample the more it will be oxidised. It is

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Det finns en rad lagar och bestämmelser som syftar till att skydda grundvatten mot föroreningar. Bland annat upprättar man i anslutning till vattentäkter skyddsområden där vissa typer av verksamhet inte får förekomma. Grundvattnet har också ett naturligt skydd mot föroreningar som är beroende av markens egenskaper. Föroreningar kan läggas fast eller brytas ned iNatural groundwater protection is favoured by a high content of clay and carbon in the soils, a large unsaturated zone and intermediate values of pH. The protection of the groundwater is improved by defining a protection area around waterworks. Within such areas certain activities that can threaten the quality of the water are limited by law. The borders for the water protection area shall be base

En sedimentsekvens från Kap Farvel området på Sydgrönland undersöktes med avseende på polleninnehåll, magnetisk suseptibilitet och organisk halt. Sedimentens ålder bestämdes med 14C-dateringar, vilka visade att sedimentationen i sjön började kort tid före 12 300 cal B.P. och därmed inkluderar övergången Yngre Dryas till Preboreal. Syftet med studien är att studera övergången från den förmodat kallA sedimentary sequence from a small lake situated on Taterakasik peninsula in the Kap Farvel area, South Greenland, was investigated with respect to pollen and other microfossil content, as well as loss-on-ignition and magnetic susceptibility values. The 14C dates suggest that the sedimentation started shortly before 12 300 cal yrs. BP. and thus cover the transition from the supposedly cold Younge
