Host societies’ attitudes towards immigrants in Europe has continuously been getting attention in recent decades of increased levels of globalization, as attitudes determine the levels of immigrants’ integration. This, in turn, has huge influence on social cohesion so important for the functioning of peaceful and just societies. While Sweden has proved itself as an exception both in terms of open
This thesis aims to explore how specific digital field recording methods impact archaeological interpretation based on the case studies presented. Individual find recording, a more specialized digital point proveniencing system, was used in both case studies. The original excavation interpretations are compared against new interpretations based on the reconstructed excavation unit style recording
Radicalisation is an extremely popular topic in the terrorism discourse, yet it has seen extensive criticism for being a blurry concept. The present study evaluates the conceptual strength of radicalisation and reconstructs it with a focus on the empirical study of radicalisation from a risk perspective. Framed as a major risk factor in Islamic radicalisation, radical attitudes were examined in a
The aim of the study was to investigate the participating psychologists’ experiences with compassion fatigue, and to identify individual, interpersonal and organizational factors and strategies perceived as contributing or protecting in relation to compassion fatigue. Semi-structured telephone interviews were conducted with eight psychologists (three men and five women) with more than five years o
Bergslagens malmprovins är känd för att innehålla stora Zn-Pb-Ag- och Zn-Pb-Cu-Ag-sulfidförekomster med tillhörande järnoxidskarn och många studier har fokuserat på att förstå dessa förekomster. Cu-Co-förekomster som Vena-Dampetorp-förekomsten har emellertid fått mindre uppmärksamhet. Vena-Dampetorp-förekomsten är en disseminerad och åderstödd Cu-Co-mineralisering som förekommer i en 1,89 Ga ryoliThe Bergslagen Province is known for containing major Zn-Pb-Ag and Zn-Pb-Cu-Ag sulphide mineralizations with associated iron-oxide skarns and a lot of research have focused on understanding them. However, Cu-Co deposits like the Vena-Dampetorp deposit have received less attention. The Vena-Dampetorp deposit is a disseminated and vein Cu-Co mineralization hosted primarily in a 1.89 Ga rhyolitic to
The Lisbon Strategy formulated that the EU shall be one of the most vital economies in the world. In order to perform that role, it has been argued that the EU must be more coherent. To increase cohesion, the structural funds and cohesion policy were introduced. Included in the structural funds are also the horizontal principles of equality, integration, diversity and sustainable development inten
This thesis is based on the problem of transferring knowledge across different cultures. It is a qualitative research, which takes place in Uganda and Tanzania, consisting of six interviews with participants from two batches in the Sida program, two observations and one workshop. The point of departure were two questions: 1) What cultural aspects affect the knowledge transfer within the Sida:s “Ch
This paper takes a performance-based approach to corporate governance and investigates whether compliance with the corporate governance code in Sweden equates to a lower cost of capital, measured as cost of equity, cost of debt and the weighted average of these, the WACC. The premonition is that adherence to governance codes should lower the risk profile of the firm, leading investors and creditor
There is a shortage of nurses in Sweden, especially specialist nurses. The magnitude of the problem is expected to increase in the near and distant future due to retiring nurses and an expected increase in the demand for health services due to an ageing population in Sweden. In this thesis it is examined whether the shortage of specialist nurses can be explained by the current economic incentives
Att uppskatta lövyteindex med satellitdata Vegetation har unika spektrala egenskaper som kan användas inom fjärranalys för att få information om viktiga ekologiska parametrar, som t.ex löyteindex (eng. leaf area index, LAI, lövyta per markenhet). LAI styr många ekologiska processer som fotosyntes och transpiration. Med hjälp av satellitbilder kan man uppskatta LAI i stor skala. Vegetation absorLeaf area index, LAI, is an important biophysical parameter in ecological modeling. It is the ratio of leaf area per unit ground area. To obtain LAI over large areas in a fast and convenient way the use of satellite data is important. Aim of the project was to determine if there is a relationship between LAI and red-, NIR reflectance and a couple of vegetation indices: Global Environment Monitorin
Quite a number of earlier studies have found that the majority of new technology-based firms are spin-offs from existing organizations, usually established in the geographical neighborhood of the parent (Dorfman 1983; Roberts 1991; Saxenian 1994; Sternberg 1996; Keeble 1997; Lindholm Dahlstrand 1997, 2001; Lindholm Dahlstrand and Dahlander 2003). Since established corporations are responsible for
