This study is of qualitative nature where the problem area, domestic violence, is analyzed through feminist theory, aided by a critical discourse analysis. The study aims to reveal if the discourse of an official report from the Swedish government, named SOU 2014:49, challenges or maintains a gender power order. This structure exists in the society and maintains men’s superiority to women and rein
Hamilton City is currently the fourth most populous territorial authority in New Zealand. The city boundary was extended in 1989 in order to provide sufficient land for urban growth for at least 25 years. Despite being neither unplanned nor unchecked, urban growth within this boundary has been branded by the media as urban sprawl. Urban sprawl is a complex phenomenon with a wide range of definit
Effekter av röjning av växter och öppna sandytor Stora områden med sandmark har växt igen och hotar därmed att konkurrera ut känsligare, mindre växter som behöver öppen sandmark för att överleva. Tre inventeringar har genomförts i sandområden som röjts ett år tidigare, för att se om känsliga växter börjat gro i den öppna sanden. Många arter av små växter har svårt att go i områden som vuxit igenSand dune habitats are threatened by overgrowth and extended growth and plantations of woody species such as pines and Japanese rose (Rosa rugosa). The aim of this study is to investigate what types of dune habitats that are found within the Natura 2000 sites, the differences in vegetation between open sand and overgrown sand areas and the vegetation and soil pH in open and closed habitats in thre
Accurate wireless channel models are crucial to simulate the effect of radio wave propagation in a channel on wireless communication systems. By calculating physical processing effects that signal undergoes while traveling from transmitter to the receiver, channel models help to analyze performance of wireless systems. State of the art channel model such as WINNER and COST 2100 are able to model t
WTO is an increasingly influential international organization, which aims to liberalize global commercial activities and TRIPS is an important part of WTO agenda, which provides minimum standards for IPR regulation for all the members. Empirical evidence suggests that stronger IPR regimes contribute to increasing inward FDI, R&D investment and innovations. Starting out from these findings the
Problemställning: Cementproduktionen står idag för ca 5% av världens koldioxidutsläpp, vilket har stor negativ påverkan på klimatet. För att minska utsläppen behöver cementanvändningen reduceras genom t.ex. ersätta cement med andra material, såsom flygaska, mald granulerad masugnsslagg och kalcinerad lera. Syfte: Syftet är att undersöka den maximala vol.% cement som kan ersättas med flygaska, slaProblem: The production of cement stands today for approximately 5% of the world total emission of carbon dioxide, which has negative impact on the environment. In order to reduce the emission, the use of cement has to be reduced by e.g. replacing some of the cement with other materials. Purpose: The purpose is to find the maximum amount of fly ash, slag and calcined clay that can be used in conc
Under de senaste årtiondena har en ökning av psykosociala problem bland barn och ungdomar medfört att förebyggande och hälsofrämjande vård blivit det viktigaste inslaget i elevhälsan. Hälsosamtal är en del av skolsköterskans hälsofrämjande arbete. Syftet med studien var att beskriva hur skolsköterskan utifrån sina erfarenheter uppfattar hälsosamtal med elever i grundskolan. Semistrukturerade inter
Mobile applications are today an important way for companies to reach their customers. Developing a mobile application could require a lot of resources, especially if the application is to be made from scratch. However, an alternative for a company with an existing web application, is making use of the logic in the existing web application, to create a hybrid mobile application. In this thesis, tw
Josefin Methi Sundell Miljönämndens inflytande som remissinstans i planärenden Hur kommunerna planerar områden i och kring våra städer, är viktigt för att göra användningen av mark- och vattenresurser hållbar på lång sikt. Därför har jag undersökt vilket inflytande Miljönämnden har haft när kommunala planer har tagits fram i Malmö, under de senaste sex åren. Stadsbyggnadskontoret tar fram planThis study reviews the influence of the Environment Board in municipal spatial planning in the city of Malmö and aims to highlight improvements in the consultation process. The municipalities are responsible for planning how land and water resources are to be used and thus central in attaining a sustainable land use and urban planning. Development plans are created by The City Planning Office and
As widely accepted, innovations are of great importance for regional and national economic growth and competitiveness. Innovation Union is one of flagship targets of European Union Horizon 2020 initiative. However, to understand innovation is still challenging, give its complicated nature; moreover, among factors within policy influence, which variable could help facilitate innovation is also inco
Abstract Author: Lena Källström Title: “Conversations about suffering in social work” (Translated title) Supervisor: Christina Erneling Assessor: The aim of this thesis is to investigate how social workers conceptualise, name, relate to and understand the suffering s/he encounters when meeting clients, both from the perspective of self and the other. The study investigates the view of the indiv
The reality in terms of operational competence has changed. The past tradition of assessing procedural compliance of the individual Air Traffic Controller is today challenged in a dynamic and intractable socio-technical system like Air Traffic Management. Changes in technology and complex system interdependencies, call for an enhanced understanding of the interaction and coupling between the human
Tracking activities have lately been very popular in smartphones, which requires that the devices are able to classify activities correctly. Since this type of devices has limitations in both power consumption and computational performance, it is important to keep these factors to a minimum. Therefore, the low cost of the accelerometer sensor is a good platform to build a classification on. Althou
This study investigated the “relationship between tree species composition and phenology extracted from satellite data in Swedish forests”. The proposed method investigated in this study aims at mapping the fractional composition of deciduous/coniferous tree species and also the fractional composition of Norway spruce (Picea abies) and several pine (Pinus sp.). The fractions can then be used to cl
Forests are today recognised as vital for ensuring a sustainable world and today’s initiatives to save them address everything from actual resource use to fictitious agendas such as carbon sequestration. Forests have become embedded in a “fog of greening”, and in this process local forest become global spaces for saving the world. The fog of greening is dislocated from the ground but has both mate
This thesis aims to examine the relationship between climate justice and climate migration. The goal is to describe this relationship’s place in international policy making. Impacts from climate change will make certain areas of the world uninhabitable, inducing so-called “climate migration”. The number of migrants is predicted to be between 200 million and 250 million by 2050. Currently, there is
Linyphiid-spindlar trivs bäst i norr! Spindlar är en av de viktigaste predatorerna och de finns nästan överallt. Vilka spindlar som finns på en plats beror bland annat på habitat och klimat. Klimatet styrs till stor del av vilken breddgrad platsen ligger på. I min studie jämförde jag spindelfaunan i två typer av skogshabitat; lövskog och barrskog. Platserna är valda på en gradient genom Sverige fSpiders play a key role as predators in a wide range of terrestrial ecosystems. Their community composition is strongly affected by environmental gradients. The latitudinal diversity gradient concept states that diversity and species richness is negatively related to increasing latitude. This has been observed in spiders on a continental scale, but so far was not observed on a regional scale in Eu
Värdefulla träd och biotoper på Kvarnby golfbana i Malmö När landskap förändras och fragmenteras i takt med urbanisering, jordbruk eller annan mänsklig påverkan, måste arter hitta nya livsmiljöer för att etablera sig och överleva. Sådana livsmiljöer kan till exempel vara en golfbana i staden. När man anlägger nya golfbanor i Skåne gör man det ofta på gammal åkermark, där golfbanorna kan ha högre When landscape changes due to urbanization and agriculture wild nature must adapt and find new spots to colonize. A golf course is one example of such an area. In Scania many golf courses are situated on old agricultural fields, where they can contain more biodiversity than the fields they replace. In this study I mapped potential habitats for different species of flora and fauna at Kvarnby golf c
