The study is a first attempt to academically investigate the case of Filipina domestic workers in São Paulo. In brief, it aims to outline these migrants’ life and working conditions, their insertion and function within class relations and in regard to a gendered and racialized work regime. The overarching theoretical framework is social reproduction feminism that originated from the 1960’s sociali

Konsumtionen i världen ökar och det gör även halten av växthusgaser i atmosfären. Detta kräver högre resurseffektivitet och inom både EU och Sverige finns styrmedel som förespråkar ökad materialåtervinning. Trots detta saknas ofta källsorteringsmöjligheter i offentliga miljöer. I denna studie undersöks möjligheterna till ökad materialåtervinning i offentliga miljöer genom att fokusera på ett införThe global consumption is increasing and so are the levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. This requires a higher resource efficiency and legislation within the EU and Sweden is promoting material recycling to a greater degree than incineration of waste. In spite of this recycling stations can rarely be found in public environments. In this study the possibilities and effects of an increase

A thermochromic ink is defined as an ink that exhibits colour changes depending on temperature. Thermochromic inks used in printing generally consist of an encapsulated three part system which includes a dye that changes colour, a compound that acts as a colour developer and a solvent. Due to the properties of the dye, the inks are always colourless above a certain temperature and coloured below a

Köttkonsumtionen orsakar utsläpp av växthusgaser som bidrar till den globala uppvärmningen och kan även medföra oönskade hälsoeffekter. I framställningen analyseras hur vi kan nå en samhällsekonomiskt effektiv konsumtionsnivå. Med utgångspunkt i de klassiska nationalekonomiska teorierna presenteras de ekonomiska problem som köttkonsumtionen idag ger upphov till. På grund av förekomsten av marknadsMeat consumption causes greenhouse gas emissions which contributes to the global warming and can also lead to undesired health effects. This presentation analyzes how we can reach an economically efficient level of meat consumption. The economic problems that meat consumption raises today, based on classic economic theories, will be presented in this thesis. In the presence of market failures and

Den 3 november 2016 överlämnade utredningen sitt betänkande Översyn av skattereglerna för delägare i fåmansföretag (SOU2016:75) till Finansdepartement. Utredningens uppdrag bestod dels i att se över fördelningsreglerna i det så kallade 3:12- systemet, dels beskattningen i ägarskiften. I direktivet betonade uppdragsgivaren behovet av en reglering som förhindrar inkomstomvandling, samtidigt som intrOn 3 November 2016 the Committee submitted its report on tax for owners of closely held companies (Swedish Government Official Reports series 2016: 75) to the Finance Ministry. The Committee's mission partly consisted of reviewing the allocation rules in the so called 3: 12- system and taxation in ownership. The directive stressed client need for a regulation that prevents income conversion, w

I denna uppsats kommer det skatterättsliga neutralitetsperspektivet hos fastighetstransaktioner att diskuteras och särskilt fokus kommer att ligga på stämpelskatten. De fastighetstransaktioner som tas upp är överlåtelse, bolagsförvärv och fastighetsbildning. Det moderna svenska skattesystemet bygger på nationalekonomiska teorier och de senaste 30 åren har fokus legat på att få ett effektivt skattIn this essay, the tax neutrality perspective of property transactions will be discussed and a special focus will be put on stamp duty. The real estate transactions which are covered in the essay are transfers, acquisitions and “fastighetsbildning”. The modern Swedish tax system is based on economic theories and in the last 30 years the focus has been put on getting an efficient tax system, wher

This master thesis is about improvement, optimization and further development of the sensory feedback in a prosthetic hand previously investigated at the department of Biomedical Engineering in Lund. The first approach will be to investigate and further see into the need of a sensory feedback in hand prostheses. There were several reports that showed that the lack of sensory feedback in hand prost

Type 2 diabetes is becoming an increasingly more common disease in the world, with a strong correlation to increasing obesity. Previous studies have shown that obese patients have an increased level of inflammatory mediators believed to be one of the underlying causes for diabetes development. One part of the immune system, contributing to these mediators, is the complement system. Investigating t

Abstract This thesis seeks to examine how attachment theory can contribute to identifying implicit images of God in Psalms 88 and 91 in the Psalter. The purpose is also to see whether or not these specific images of God can be understood as harmful or beneficial for the worshipper and if this approach can deepen the psychological understanding of the image of God in the Psalms. The starting poi

En aktuell debatt i svensk politik är hushållens växande skulder, framför allt i storstadsområdena. Förslag har lagts fram från Finansinspektionen och Sveriges Riksbank om amorteringskrav, skuldkvotstak och sänkt ränteavdrag. Detta för att hämma en eventuellt fortsatt ökning av hushållens skulder. Den svenska hushållssektorns ökande skuldsättning tillskrivs främst de lägre kostnaderna för bolån soA current topic in Swedish politics is the increasing household debt, particularly in the metropolitan areas. The Swedish Central Bank and the Financial Supervisory Authority have made proposals for several policies, to inhibit a continued growth of the household debt. These policies include introducing amortization requirements, a debt-to-income ratio limit and reduced home mortgage interest dedu

The chemical resistance is an important property for elastomers, especially for gaskets used in industrial applications related to food processing and packaging. Three common elastomers, namely silicone, FKM (fluorocarbon) and EPDM (hydrocarbon with carbon-carbon double bonds), were aged in harsh chemicals used in specific applications in Tetra Pak filling machines. Gaskets of these materials were

This thesis explores and maps the current flow of information within the Malawi Health Information Systems (HIS), which is paper based but now moving towards a digitalized system. This transition provides a unique opportunity to map and study how dimensions of Information Quality (IQ) can indicate the effectiveness of information flow. In comparing the paper based information flow and the transiti

This study analyses the power dynamic in the government-led sustainable certification, the Indonesian Sustainable Palm Oil (ISPO), and how it affects equitable participation, especially the smallholders who are the bottom actors in the industry. A case study was carried out in Jambi province, as one of the largest palm oil producers in the country. This study examines various actors related to the

During my studies at the Malmö Academy of Music I have received many tips and advice from teachers and students on how to create a successful career in music. However, these different types of advice have almost exclusively been of a general nature, and not specifically related to the instrument I play, the acoustic guitar.Therefore, the purpose of this thesis is inquire into possible ways to make

Colour terms is a highly interesting field when investigating linguistic universals and how language vary cross-linguistically. Colour semantics, the investigation of the meaning of colour, consists in largely of two opposing sides: the universalists, proposing that colour terms are universal (Berlin & Kay 1969) and the relativists claiming a variation in meaning cross-linguistically (Wierzbic

Det har nyligen bekräftats att extrema solar proton events (SPE) kan leda till kraftigt ökad produktion av kosmogena radionuklider (Mekhaldi et al. 2015). Bevis för detta kan påträffas i trädringar (14C) och iskärnor (10Be, 36Cl). Kalibreringskurvan IntCal13, vilken är ett kontinuerligt trädringsregister över 14C fluktuation- er under hela Holocen, användes för att lokalisera två potentiella toppaRecently it has been confirmed that extreme solar proton events (SPE) can lead to significantly increased production of cosmogenic radionuclides (Mekhaldi et al. 2015). The evidence of these events can be recorded in tree rings (14C) and ice cores (10Be, 36Cl). The IntCal13 calibration curve, which is a continuous tree ring record of 14C fluctuations throughout the Holocene, was used to locate two

Sensor fusion has been widely adopted in the last couple of years, especially in the automobile industry. Their main goal is to gain a more robust system and increase security by e.g. predicting and preventing collisions. Surveillance systems, based on video motion detection, face similar issues by having numerous problems with false triggers, particularly when there are big variations in the lig

Electric vehicles have received a lot of attention lately and are expected to boom in the near future. In the power grid industry this raises concern on whether the grid is dimensioned to handle the power peaks related to charging. Solar cells are also a hot topic when discussing future energy supply and how it will impact on the grid. Initially this thesis gives insight to the current state of s

This master thesis is concerned with the site of Refshaleøen in Copenhagen and how a proposal of buildings would enhance the identity of the place, attract more people while maintaining the qualities of the old industrial area. A contradiction in itself and thus not an easy task. As method, the first steps were to document the site, attain background material and history of the site to better unde

1 738 kilometer norrut från Lund ligger Kvikkjokk och därifrån är det 42 km söderut över fjällen till Jäkkvik. Vandringen, som går längs Kungsleden, går över fyra sjöar och tre bergspassager. Här får vandrare se hur midnattssolen står högt på himlen över snöklädda bergstoppar, höra hur vattenfallet dånar under fötterna då de står på en smal metallbro och känna den mjuka smaken av solvarma hjortron
