Activation measures were implemented as a condition for social assistance in Sweden in the 1990s. Generally, the goal has been to promote the transition from welfare to work and to(re)integrate people dependent on social assistance into the labour market. Social assistance is regulated by the Social Services Act, which is a framework law that gives municipalities and individual social workers exte
Abstract: This thesis analyzes the distribution of profits to labor. The factor share distribution has attracted mounting attention from researchers in the last decades, as it has been identified as a central determining factor for economic inequality. However, how the factor share distribution has developed historically is debated. By analyzing the historical wage share for manufacturing workers
Disaster response is most effective, if a high level of preparedness is in place before natural hazards strike. As many low-income countries are under-financed when it comes to Disaster Risk Reduction, it is lower-cost interventions such as Community-Based Preparedness Trainings that they often rely on to provide strategies to reduce the vulnerability of communities. These trainings are widely use
Thesis purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate the interdependencies within the process of partner selection in the fashion and design sector and the emanating criteria for finding the ideal co-branding partner in order to use co-branding as a strategic brand activation tool. Methodology: Multiple Case Study Theoretical perspective: Brand Building and Brand Activation, Relationship Ma
The purpose of this essay was to investigate the experience of alcohol intoxication for six students in Lund and what meaning and function alcohol has in their lives. The students were interviewed about their alcohol consumption; how they defined a problematic one, their experiences of alcohol intoxication, and its function and meaning. A qualitative method was used, as the purpose of the study wa
This paper has examined the potential power of media in relation to ‘security’ for the Jews in the Swedish society. My intention was to find out whether media constitute a risk for the increasing notion of anti-Semitism which also enhances the threat for the Jews in Sweden to become a security matter and therefore result in a need for securitization. The analysis has been done partly through prese
This biomechanics study explored stride length (SL), duration (SDN), and gait ground reaction forces (GRFspeak), required coefficient of friction (RCOFpeak), joint angle (anglepeak, anglemin), angular velocities (angvelx peak), angular accelerations (angaccx peak), muscle electromyography (EMG) during the dominant leg stance phase (SP) following an exhaustive stair ascent for evacuation. Data were
Are There Any Female Astronauts? On Gender-Inclusive Translation of Non-Fiction Books for ChildrenThis article deals with gender-inclusive translation of information books for children. Translation solutions drawn from three non-fiction books translated from French to Swedish by different translators are discussed in terms of gender neutrality and inclusion. Analysis reveals that, although the Swe
Svensk tillverkningsindustri bidrar till ca 16 % (Statistics Sweden 2016) av bruttonationalprodukten och medverkar till att ca 900 000 av landets invånare har en anställning (Produktion2030 2016), vilket gör sektorn till en viktig del av Sveriges välfärdssystem. Forskningen syftar främst till att ge industrin verktyg för att analysera och utvärdera produktion för resurseffektivare och lönsammare tIn today’s global market, the industry is struggling every day to make the “correct decisions”. Decisions concerning production can range from smaller improvements to choice tool or equipment investments to relocation of entire production facilities. Increasing globalization leads to both opportunities and challenges, driving the need for fact-based decision-support including costs to be able to e
Introduction: The interaction between different product policies will be crucial for the further advancement of a coherent product policy framework. The Commission has stated that ‘the complex and interlocking approach needed to build a resource-efficient Europe can only be achieved with a policy mix that optimizes synergies and addresses trade-offs between different areas and policies’. In the co

A thorough understanding of the longitudinal phase space (LPS) of the electron beam is of great advantage to any modern linear accelerator (linac), and of critical importance for operating a free electron laser (FEL). While a transverse deflecting structure (TDS) allows full characterization of a beam’s LPS, measurements with a TDS system are often destructive and operationally complex. We present
This paper critically analyses European Court of Human Rights jurisprudence on bulk data collection, situating it within the Court’s broader turn to proceduralism. We argue that, in cases concerning mass surveillance, the Court has effectively abandoned structured proportionality review and transformed national security from a prima facie legitimate aim into a de facto exception to Article 8.
