During the past decades there is a growing interest to include a cultural dimension in the debate on sustainable development. In this thesis I explore how culture, and more specifically the Flemish cultural sector, contributes to the transition to a sustainable society. By means of case studies, I examine how cultural organizations perceive their role in the transition process and how they transla

Träldom var en form av slaveri vilken fanns i Norden fram till 1300-talet. I Sverige minskade träldomen troligen i omfattning under 1200-talet och försvann helt i början av 1300-talet. Det är dock oklart hur länge träldomen har funnits i Sverige och hur utbredd den var före medeltiden på grund av bristen på källor. Träldom förbjöds i Västergötland och Värmlands lagsagor 1335 då Skarastadgan utfärdSlavery existed in the Nordic countries until the fourteenth century. There is some debate regarding how old it is and how common it was. However, it is generally regarded that slavery grew less common in Sweden during the thirteenth century and was abolished during the fourteenth century. Traces of slavery can be found in Swedish medieval laws, the so-called Landskapslagarna. Though nearly all of

The corona pandemic affected associational life in Sweden deeply. Since the associational life is considered a vital societal function in Sweden, it is important that it regains its strength after the pandemic’s end. Through an interview study and by using Samverkansmodellen and Resource Dependence Theory as a theoretical framework, this study aims to examine which strategies were used during and

De svenska fåmansföretagsreglerna infördes för att förhindra att upparbetade arbetsinkomster i ett företag tas ut till lägre beskattning genom utdelning eller kapitalvinst. Bestämmelserna återfinns i 56–57 kap. IL och reglerar i vilken omfattning en delägare med kvalificerade andelar i ett företag får ta ut tillgångar ur företaget i inkomstslaget kapital och till vilken del dessa istället ska beskThe Swedish regulations of closely held companies were passed in order to prevent income shifting from labour income to capital income and thereby lowering the marginal tax rate. The rules are found in the 56th and 57th chapters of the Income Tax Act and constitute an income splitting system, regulating how income from qualified shares is divided and taxed as capital income and income from employm

As Sweden has been a pioneer when it comes to agendas for the inclusion of women, the decision to terminate the feminist foreign policy was met with surprise. The newly elected government was quick at declaring the feminist foreign policy insufficient to represent Swedish interests and this research has provided insights to understand how this came to be. By analyzing the case with the application

The purpose of this essay is to investigate the social function, symbolism, and significance of the Scandinavian snake-head rings from the Roman Iron Age, and how this may reconstruct social identities. By studying the shape of the rings, their ornamentation, the craftsmanship behind them and the general contexts in which they are found, it is possible to reach a deeper understanding for the rings

The main purpose of this survey is to investigate new tramway alternatives in Lund, how effective and useful every new route is. The survey will be done by the author and information collected is checked and controlled by Lund Kommun staff and people working with Lund first tramway to Brunnshög. Every route of the tramway has stops which are located in well thought-out places, where they should h

Purpose: The aim of this study is to explore the effect of changes within traditional production methods, caused by legitimacy crises, on brand authenticity. Design/Methodology/Approach: This research is based on a multi-case study within the leather, ivory and fine wine industry. To evaluate the purpose of this study, literature as same as primary data, in form of a qualitative research, was use

I denna uppsats utreds de arvsrättsliga skillnaderna mellan efterlevande make respektive sambo och problematiserar dessa utifrån ett äldrerättsligt perspektiv. Förutom att medellivslängden har ökat i Sverige så har dessutom antalet samboförhållanden sedan 1960-talet ökat. 1,5 miljoner svenskar i blandade åldrar antas idag leva som sambo. Oavsett om man valt att leva som gift eller sambo så blir reThe purpose of this thesis is to, from an elder law perspective, study the differences in inheritance law between the surviving spouse and the surviving cohabitant. Apart from the fact that the average life expectancy has increased in Sweden, the number of relationships of unmarried cohabitants has also increased since the 1960s. Approximately 1.5 million Swedish couples in miscellaneous ages are

In this thesis I studied how the level of cooperation has changed in the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) since the Cold War, as the international arena went from being a bipolar power structure to a unipolar one. My perspective on cooperation was based on the theory of realism. In order to answer these questions I analyzed veto usage and the resolutions as indicators of cooperation. Veto us

This report is a fire risk assessment of Norrköpings Art Museum and is written as a part of the Fire Protection Engineering program at Lund University. The three scenarios that are evaluated in the report come from a coarse qualitative analysis conducted after a visit at the object. Programs like CFAST, FDS and SIMULEX has been used to implement this analysis. The results obtained from these progr

In this paper the laminar burning velocities of nitromethane, ethanol and nitromethane-ethanol mixtures has been determined by using heat flux method. The laminar burning velocity of ethanol was measured at atmospheric pressure, initial temperatures range 298-358 K and equivalence ratio 0.7-1.6. The flame speed of ethanol shows a satisfactory agreement with previous available data. The burning vel

The purpose of this thesis is to produce an example of a solution to the problem with varying space requirements in divorced families living one-and two-family houses in Sweden. We have focused our work on solving this with a stand-alone complementary building which contains all the critical functions a dwelling should have. To facilitate and make the investment more realistic the building should

Erosion of coastal areas is experienced in many countries around the world. The natural beach dynamics is caused by hydrodynamic processes, variations in sediment transport rates and frequency of storm events but anthropogenic influences may also contribute to an increased erosion/accretion of the shoreline. Maputo city, located in the southeastern part of Mozambique, have during the last decays e

Natural killer (NK) cell activity was studied in 17 patients with primary chronic idiopathic autoimmune thrombocytopenic purpura (ATP). Fifteen of 17 patients had a significantly reduced NK cytotoxicity against 51chromium labeled K562 target cells (mean LU20% = 18 ± 20 in patients versus 65 = 2 5 in controls, P < 0.001). NK activity was also significantly reduced in all of six patients with second

This article presents a study of the female amateur Aurora von Qvanten (1818–1907), and her portrait of the famous Swedish singer, Jenny Lind (1829–1887), seen in relation to the contemporary array of portraits of Lind. Von Qvanten's work in the area of portraiture is virtually unknown, as is the case with that of most women artists of her time. Source material about von Qvanten is scarce, and her

Purpose: To examine the effects of Treatment Foster Care on youth with serious behavior problems. Method: Included studies are controlled trials with high or medium quality, published between 1990 and September 2017. The control group consists of youth with serious behavior problems in group care, and the follow-up time was at least 12 months. The review also examines ethical and economic aspects.

In the 1990s the world economy was hit by a series of unusually deep crises with far-reaching consequences, the first of which occurred in Finland and Sweden. This paper compares the cost of the crisis of the 1990s with the costs caused by all major crises and depressions since the 1870s in the two Nordic countries. First, it constructs a crisis chronology for Finland and Sweden. Second, it estima
