China has ever since the 1990s emerged as a manufacturing superpower, following its liberalized trade reforms and its entrance to the World Trade Organization. This has caused China to expand their exports substantially, in particular to the OECD countries. This has lead to an increasing debate on whether, or to what extent, increasing manufacturing exports from China to the OECD countries has con

Barnamordsbrottet ansågs under 1600-talet i Sverige vara den mest samhällsfarliga handling som kunde begås och gav lagstiftaren något vi idag skulle kalla som moralpanik. Moralen låg i att värna äktenskapet genom att fördöma de som ingick sexuella relationer innan äktenskapets ingående. Paniken kan illustreras genom att allt strängare straff och till slut oåterkalleliga straff utdömdes. Nya lagaInfanticide was considered in the 17th century in Sweden to be the most societal subversive act that could be committed and gave the legislator something we would call moral alarmism. The morality implied condemnation of those who entered a sexual relation before marriage. The alarmism is illustrated by increasingly severe punishments and ultimately irrevocable punishments were imposed upon the wo

What is the use of political fiction and its allegory in a language education context? The aim of this paper is to analyze the relevance of this literary genre to curricula, English language learning, and EFL classrooms. The specifically political content of this genre, its allusion to real-world happenings, and the linguistic aspects of the texts may be pedagogically instrumentalized and host a p

Studien kombinerar teorier om börsintroduktioners prestation på lång sikt respektive teorier om hur förvärv påverkar ett företags prestation. Antalet observationer i studien är 154 börsintroduktioner fördelade på de större börserna i Sverige, Norge, Danmark, Finland och Island. Studien påvisar

Den visuella smaken - reklamfotografiets roll vid kulturella omladdningsprocesser är författad av Karin Winblad vid Institutionen för kommunikation och medier, Lunds universitet, höstterminen 2018. Syftet med uppsatsen är att belysa reklamfotografiets roll i det offentliga bildspråket vid de värdeförändringar som sker vid kulturella omladdningsprocesser med fokus på status och visuell estetik. För

Bakgrund: DT undersökningar av kolon har blivit allt mer vanligare vid diagnostisering av sjukdomar i colon. Vikten av en god förberedelse är grunden till en god undersökning samt för diagnostiseringen. Syfte: Syftet är att belysa patienters upplevelser av förberedelser i samband med DT undersökningar av kolon. Metod: En litteraturstudie har valts som metod där studien inkluderar både kvantitativa

Children and youth's right to make their voices heard, as well as the right to partake in different matters, has strengthened with laws and guidelines (Socialstyrelsen, 2003). The aim of the study is to examine the experience of employees in their work with socially vulnerable children and adolescence - with a focus point on the right to participation in different matters. The study includes q

This is a qualitative study with the objective to find an understanding for how social workers who work with people affected by honor-related violence, receive and investigate the phenomenon and to illuminate their knowledge on the subject. We collected women´s stories from a source that contains authentic anonymous narratives and prepared one “story” as a vignette. It was presented accompanied wi

It is well known how important belonging and to be part of something is for us humans and our well-being. Other utterly important foundations for us and our sense of freedom are safety and accessibility. LGBT-research has profoundly been conducted on larger cities, but lacking substratum on how mentioned factors affect people living in smaller cities. In this paper, I try through interviews unders

Far-field three dimensional x-ray diffraction (3DXRD) data acquired by repetitive acquisitions with a beam much smaller than the sample width is sometimes referred to as scanning-3DXRD. We here analyse the scanning 3DXRD approach and present a novel reconstruction technique capable of reconstructing intra-crystal variations in crystal structure from a set of recorded 2D diffraction patterns. The m

Undersökning av en ny metod att söka efter inhibitorer Vad görs när immunsystemet, systemet byggt för att skydda oss, attackerar oss istället? I dagsläget finns inte så mycket man kan göra. Jag har därför undersökt en ny metod för att hitta ämnen som ska kunna hindra det trasiga immunsystemet från att skada! Framsteg inom medicinen är bland de viktigaste som kan göras för mänsklighetens fortlevnaThe main purpose of this master thesis was to test a novel approach of finding leads for new pharmaceuticals, by using Solid Phase Peptide Synthesis (SPPS) in combination with Weak Affinity Chromatography (WAC). Put in a more concrete way, the objective was to find a lead for a better human neutrophil elastase inhibitor. The plan was to take advantage of the fact that the tripeptide Valine-Proline

Detta examensarbete behandlar frågan kring vilken påverkan som idrottsarenor har på fastighetsvärden. Studien grundas i de stora arenaprojekt som har genomförts i Sverige under de senaste åren. Bara i Stockholmsområdet har två stora idrottsarenor byggts och en stor idrottsarena rivits. Projekt som dessa är väldigt kapitalkrävande varpå det är viktigt för de inblandade i projekten att ta reda på vaThis master thesis addresses the issue of the impact of sports arenas on real estate values. The study is based on the major stadium projects that have been implemented in Sweden in recent years. Only in the Stockholm area have two major sports stadiums been built and one major sports stadium have been demolished. Projects like these are very kapital-intensive, so it is important for those involve

Conservation Voltage Reduction, or short just CVR, is a technique in which the reference voltage at a substation is lowered a few percent in order to conserve energy and decrease peak demand in an electrical distribution grid. Thus, CVR can be used when the energy or power capacity can't be satisfied by the feeding grid. Energy capacity has been a recurring topic in Sweden for a long time with

Communication in aquatic habitats commonly occurs via chemicals released from organisms. Chemical cues are used to detect prey and predators, and hence, play an important role in predator-prey interactions. Chemical cues from predators may induce morphological and behavioural responses in prey. For example, crucian carp (Carassius carassius) has demonstrated a morphologically induced defence with

In 2018, the Swedish government decided to invest 350 million SEK in welfare technology as a response to the increasing population of the elderly. The aim of this study was to investigate implementation managers’ descriptions of their work and use of welfare technology. The interviews were conducted at three long-term facilities for the elderly in the municipality of Burlöv, Helsingborg, and Hässl

Dataskyddsförordningen, GDPR, ämnar att skydda personuppgifter genom att sätta den registrerades intressen är i fokus, samtidigt som lagen specifikt beaktar mikro-företag samt små och medelstora företags, SMEs, särskilda behov. Uppsatsen närmar sig denna problematik från ett perspektiv baserat på grundläggande rättigheter; problemformuleringen är hur mindre företags rättigheter och intressen kan bThe General Data Protection Regulation, GDPR, aims to provide protection of personal data which is centred on the data-subject, while at the same time categorically giving special consideration to the specific needs of micro, small and medium‑sized enterprises, SMEs. The paper approaches this conundrum from a fundamental rights angle, and tries to answer how the rights and interests of smaller bus

The investigation of children's and young people’s need for protection and safety is carried out by social services and is regulated by Socialtjänstlagen chapter 1, § 2. In a case where a child is granted outpatient care, the necessity of follow-ups to ensure that progress is being made is specified in the law. The law does not however define the frequency of these follow-ups. The aim was ther
