Since the middle of 1990s and up to today, Sweden and the Swedish justice system have experienced that young men and women are being killed in the name of honour. It was mainly in connection with the murder of Pela and Fadime that the concept of honour killings was rooted in the Swedish public consciousness. Honour killings are crimes whose motive is to re-establish a family’s lost honour, after a
Popular Abstract in English This thesis is concerned with the efficient generation of ultra-short light pulses, far beyond the visible spectral range. Such light pulses can reach durations below 100 attoseconds, where one attosecond is one billionth of a billionth of a second. Why do we want to generate such extreme light pulses? Our knowledge of basic processes in physics and chemistry is to aHigh-order harmonic generation (HHG) provides the basis for attosecond light sources delivering coherent pulses in the extreme ultraviolet spectral region. Such light sources are employed for a variety of applications within imaging, attosecond spectroscopy, and high-precision frequency metrology. However, the rather low efficiency of the HHG process, which implies a limited pulse energy and repet
Purpose The aim of this thesis is to examine whether there is a significant correlation between use of Long-Term Incentive Programs and their Total Shareholder Returns within companies listed on the Nordic market. Furthermore, this study investigates if there is an existing correlation depending on which sector the firm operates in and if Long-Term Incentive Programs can affect their Shareholder r
Over three-quarters of the world’s poor live in rural areas and many of them depend on agriculture to earn a living. In a context of climate change, Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Use (AFOLU) is addressed as one of the main sources of Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions. Hence, the sustainability transition in the agricultural sector has become one of the most prominent development areas in the 2
This study focus on the six largest minable cryptocurrencies: Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, Litecoin, Ethereum, Monero and DASH, and puts forward determinants that explain large parts of the price value formation in the markets. This is done by Ordinary Least Squares linear regression with intent to validate or question previous research regarding explanatory factors driving the market price. These facto
Using Aqueous Two-Phase Systems (ATPS) for e.g. the production of starch microspheres for protein or probiotic encapsulation is a gentle and cost-effective method with the potential to be used for sustained release systems. The main component of an ATPS is water and is in this thesis implemented based on the idea that two water-soluble polymers in solution might separate due to e.g. thermodynamic
SiS särskilda ungdomshem är institutioner där barn och unga i behov av särskild tillsyn placeras, till största del sker detta med stöd av lagen (1990:52) med särskilda bestämmelser om vård av unga (LVU). Uppsatsen syftar till att utreda i vilken utsträckning rätten till hälsa enligt artikel 24 i Förenta nationernas konvention om barnets rättigheter (barnkonventionen), är uppfylld för flickor med SiS youth homes are institutions which provides compulsory care for young people with psychosocial problems, with legal support usually found in the act (SFS 1990:52) with special provisions on the care of young people (LVU). The purpose of the thesis is to examine whether the right to health as established in art. 24 of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, is respected for girls with men
The floating population, also known as rural-urban immigrants, is a typical type of domestic migration appearing in the process of urbanization in contemporary China. Due to the policy restrictions, the Floating population is in a disadvantageous position and lacks social security. Though the ultimate goal for many domestic immigrants is to transform into urban residents, the biggest challenge t
This paper intends to investigate the impact of the two-sided market effect with nearby theories, the importance of customer loyalty and customer relationship management in the newspaper industry. It takes its theoretical references from academic research literature and interviews with the focus on customer loyalty and customer relationship management in the two-sided market environment. The resu
Reasons for living in the high-risk community Old Coronation, in South Africa, were investigated in a study based on grounded theory. The community is situated in an old mining area with many hazards, including a constant risk of collapsing sink-holes. Information was mainly collected through semi-structured interviews with the residents. An analysis of the reasons for living in Old Coronation wer
Mikrolån och mikrofinanser har haft stor spridning sedan de först introducerades för cirka 30 år sedan. Många har sett detta som en stor succee och som ett viktigt steg i utrotningen av fattigdomen. Det har dock höjts kritiska röster mot att mikrofinanser och den ökade kommersialiseringen av mikrolån har skapat negativa konsekvenser. Parallellt med detta så har internettekniken utvecklats och numeMicrofinance has spread rapidly in the last thirty years and the wealth of microfinance organizations has increased rapidly. According to some this has been a major success and a breakthrough in poverty eradication, but other researchers has pointed to the low levels of actual development created by microfinance and to the potential of very negative side effects. These effects has according to man
The purpose of this study was to gain knowledge about and to understand the difference between the two genders as regards well-being and subjective health among unemployed immigrants, living in Sweden. The central aspect that is studied is, how family and social relations on the one hand, and the relation to the labour market on the other, influence immigrants and how they manage their situation.
Trade-offs exist among the multiple ecosystem services (ES) generated by forests. Generally, wood production conflicts with the provisioning of public-good ES such as the storage of carbon, nutrient retention and conservation of biodiversity. Recognizing that forests generate both private- and public-good ES implies that forestry should be optimized to maximize the contribution of forests to socie
