This study seeks to answer the question of how some young male Afghan refugees, in their own views, negotiated their migration trajectories on their way to the country of asylum, despite the constraints of migrant ”illegality”? To answer this question a qualitative mix-method approach was adopted, comprised of Participatory Action Research and Life History, collecting data through semi-structured

Varje år dör 6 miljoner barn innan dom fyller fem år. Utvecklingsländerna runt om i världen får en stort andel utländskt bistånd varje år. I denna uppsats analyserar jag om och på vilket sätt detta bistånd kan kopplas till barnadödligheten. I studien analyseras paneldata från 116 länder mellan åren 1988 till 2011. I studien ingår även laggade perioder för att hitta eventuell effekten av stöd efterEvery year 6 million children die before reaching the age of five. Developing countries around the globe receive a large number of foreign aid every year. In this paper I analyse if and in what way aid connect to the child mortality rate. Analysing panel data of 116 countries during 1988 to 2011. Including lagged periods to find effect of aid after implementation and possible impact in country. Mo

Barn och föräldrars värderingar, underlag för lösningen på ett växande trafik- och samhällsproblem? Resultat från LTH:s nya examensarbete om barns säkra och trygga skolvägar förväntas kunna ge underlag för att minska problemen skapade genom föräldrar som skjutsar sina barn till skolan. Trafiksituationen vid många svenska skolor har beskrivits som kaosartad och skapat många frågetecken för framtidThis master thesis focuses on safe and secure routes to school and the point of departure is the phenomena that parents take their children to school by car instead of using sustainable alternatives as cycling and walking. This behavior creates a number of problems around schools as congestion and lack of traffic safety. Also the roads that are used for traveling to and from school, experience the

The overall project objective was to investigate the feasibility of using thermoplastic rubber (TPR) pellet in combination with the fused deposit modeling technique to create 3D objects. The commercially available pseudo-rubber printers available today uses photosensitive binders or laser sintering in the build process. These are however both expensive and exhibits poor mechanical strength and per

Syftet med denna masteruppsats var att undersöka tvångsvård som arbete, såsom det erfors och upplevdes av skötare inom psykiatrin. Semistrukturerade intervjuer genomfördes med fem deltagare med aktuell erfarenhet av att utföra tvångsåtgärder mot patienter. Analys av insamlat material gjordes med en fenomenologisk metod, Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA). Resultaten presenteras genom tThe aim of this master dissertation was to examine coercive care in the line of work, as it was perceived and experienced by enrolled psychiatric nurses. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with five participants who had current experiences of performing coercive acts towards patients. Data was analyzed using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA). Results were presented over three m

There are various ways in which Enterprise Architecture (EA) is defined these days. One of the more common definitions is that EA is a dashboard that allows business architects and other stakeholders to govern an enterprise’s transformation process. This dashboard shows current operations as well as its future and desired state. In theory this might seem as a good tool for enterprise architects bu

Återupptagen hävd på Kungsmarken Kungsmarken, strax utanför Lund, är ett område som brukats under väldigt lång tid, åtminstone sedan 1200-talet och betraktas som ett av Sveriges finaste botaniska områden. Området, som numera är både naturreservat och Natura 2000-område, delas i nordost-sydvästlig riktning av en stenmur. Norr om muren betade djur och söder om den slogs marken med lie för vinterfodHay meadows are becoming scarce in the Swedish agricultural landscape and restoration efforts are crucial to not lose the rich biodiversity. I studied three closely situated areas, one formerly grazed and the other two mown for at least 800 years, which had been left for free succession for more than fifty years. The purpose of my study was to investigate the outcome two years after restoration st

I denna studie undersöktes huruvida en stund av väntan med eller utan mobiltelefon innan en kreativ uppgift påverkade den kreativa förmågan samt känslan av hoppfullhet. Studien utgick ifrån vardagens väntestunder, pauser som uppkommer dagligen där vi tvingas vänta på något (exempelvis på bussen, mötet, middagen, hissen) och så får en oplanerad sysslolös stund. I studien undersöktes sextiosex gymnaThis study explored how a break with or without a mobile phone before engaging in a creative task would affect the creative outcome and the feeling of hope. The study took its base in the moments of everyday life, the little breaks that we experience everyday where we are forced to wait for something or someone (e.g. for the bus, the meeting, dinner or elevator) and this becomes an unplanned inact

Most cochlear implant (CI) strategies are optimized for speech characteristics while music enjoyment is signicantly below normal hearing performance. In this thesis, electrical stimulation strategies in CIs are analyzed for music input. A simulation chain consisting of two parallel paths, simulating normal hearing conditions and electrical hearing respectively, is utilized. One thesis objective is

Nowadays, multiple antennas are becoming widely used in small mobile terminals as they can significantly improve wireless communication performance in terms of link reliability and spectral efficiency. Also, pattern reconfiguration is another new trend for antenna design as it enables the antennas to adapt to different propagation and user scenarios. However, due to the limited space in the termin

This is a project that have been conduct at IKEA of Sweden in Älmhult. Due to the limitation of time for this project, the study has only been conduct for one several Home Furnisher Business (HFB) within IKEA. The purpose of the project was to provide suggestions on how to improve the Sales and Supply process in order to enhance balancing of demand and supply. Within the concerned HFB there are

Strålbehandling är en vanlig behandlingsteknik för behandling av cancer. Behandlingen kan levereras på två olika sätt: internt eller externt. Vid extern strålbehandling bestrålas tumören med en strålkälla som befinner sig utanför kroppen. Vid intern strålbehandling, även kallat brachybehandling, placeras strålkällan inuti kroppen, i eller i nära anslutning till tumören. Själva tumören får därmed mPurpose: The aim of this study was to investigate a new methodology for brachytherapy of oesophageal cancer using magnetic resonance (MR) imaging for treatment planning. That includes finding a suitable oesophageal applicator that can be visualised on MR images and to create dose and fraction schedule that should be used brachytherapy treatments. Material and Methods: A total of six patients were

I skrivande stund är sju olika cancercentra i Sverige, däribland Skånes Universitetssjukhus i Lund, mitt uppe i en gemensam randomiserad studie som undersöker behandling av prostatacancer med två olika strålningsscheman. Patienterna i studien blir slumpvis tilldelade antingen en standardbehandling, där de får en liten mängd strålning vid 39 olika tillfällen, eller en så kallad hypofraktionerad behPurpose: This work examined the feasibility of flattening filter free (FFF) volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) for extreme hypofractionation of prostate cancer. The aim was to investigate the potential gain in treatment time per fraction for extreme hypofractionation of prostate cancer, while preserving or improving the treatment plan quality and radiation delivery quality. The impact of intr
