Tydligt avgränsade områden tenderar att snabbt möta problematiken i hur den begränsade ytan skall disponeras mellan lokalbefolkning, aktörer samt turister. Ytan blir snabbt kompakt vilket innebär påfrestningar på bärkraftigheten och visar sig i olika konsekvenser i samhället. Studien har genomförts för att utröna vilka olika förhållningssätt till hållbar utveckling aktörerna antar och vilka möjlig

This thesis targets the Swedish labour immigration law for third-country nationals (TCNs): persons coming from outside the EU, ESS, and Switzerland. The reform, implemented in 2008, aims to positively influence circular migration. This study sets out to analyze strengths and flaws of the new system, through investigating the perception of actors in contact with the current legal labour migrant sit

While Taiwanese identity within a political or economic China-Taiwan framework has been extensively investigated, Taiwanese identity in a global context is relatively unexplored. This paper studies how young Taiwanese sojourners in Sweden encounter their identity when they are outside the physical borders of Taiwan and what it means to be Taiwanese in the globalized world. 14 in-depth interviews w

Vulvar pain has been known of for thousands of years but the general knowledge of vulvar pain is limited and the condition receives less medical attention than other disorders. Previous research focus on physical and/or psychological causes, treatment strategies and problematizing female sexuality due to women’s inability to engage in sexual intercourse. This master thesis attempt to understand v

The issue of security is still an aspect of concern for domestic and international politics. In Southeast Asia, in 2003, the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) agreed to establish three pillars for the future single community by 2015: the ASEAN Political-Security Community (APSC), the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC), and the ASEAN Socio-Cultural Community (ASCC). To live at peace with o

The target shaft in the Target Station of the ESS facility rotates and supports the target wheel and serves as an inflow and outflow for the coolant. Different kinds of stresses that the target shaft is exposed to can create defects or ruptures. Therefore the target shaft has to be monitored so material damage can be avoided. The objective of this master thesis was to investigate the possibility f

Cloud computing is an infrastructure that allows companies to rent any type of computing resources, such as network capacity and processing power, according to their current needs. Rather than a new technology, cloud computing is a new way of delivering computing resources. Despite the advantages that this infrastructure brings, it still poses many threats in several areas. In Sweden alone one thi

The aim of this thesis was to identify the implications of the normative premises which are present in the NGO AgainstHTR-S, which works with assistance of victims of human trafficking for sexual purposes. This in order to outline how and why the NGO has the potential to adapt its “Attention Model” to the needs of the individual. In conjunction with a field work in Costa Rica, empirical data was g

As aerosol particles are important for global climate effects, their sources and influence on global aerosol particle concentrations need to be quantified. One of the major aerosol sources in the atmosphere is new particle formation (NPF) of new nanometer sized particles in the atmosphere. The influence on the global aerosol concentration due to NPF events is however not well quantified. The goals

Uppsatsen ämnar att undersöka hur ledare i serviceorganisationer kan använda idrottsinspirerade verktyg för att hjälpa medarbetarna att prestera i sanningens ögonblick samt för att främja sammanhållning i gruppen. Genom tio kvalitativa intervjuer med ledare i serviceorganisationer och för idrottslag identifierar vi idrottsinspirerade verktyg för serviceorganisationer att ta hjälp av för att utveck

Vi har alla vittnat om att den Globala finanskrisen negativt påverkat många länders ekonomier. Inte minst har bilindustrin drabbats väldigt hårt och osäkerheten bland människor har ökat. I många länder har biltillverkningen sjunkit och orsakat betydande problem för världens bilproducenter. Krisen slog dessutom hårt åt de svenska biltillverkarna Volvo och Saab. Volvo Personbilar har en stark tradit

A variety of theories concerning the determinants of public spending on education exist, but an encompassing one has yet to be formulated. Frequently examined determinants are regime type and globalization, but the empirical results for these variables are not consistent across studies. This paper contributes to the literature by anecdotally demonstrating that insufficient theory can lead to a lac

In January 2011, Marine Le Pen was elected the new president of the French right populist political party Front National (“National Front”), a role she took over from her father, Jean-Marie Le Pen, who had been the president since the creation of the party in 1972. To deal with the somewhat dubious past of Front National, and in order to make it more commonly accepted in the political sphere, Mari

Att börja arbeta varumärkesdrivet handlar mycket om att alla organisationsmedlemmar arbetar i en gemensam riktning. I en sådan fas får mellanchefer en nyckelroll, både som länk mellan ledning och medarbetare och som bärare av vision och strategi. Det är därför intressant att studera kommunikationsprocessen ur mellanchefernas perspektiv. Syftet är att öka förståelsen för hur den interna kommunikati

Health has been a recurring topic on the development agenda during the recent decades. During the 1980ies and 1990ies there was a great focus on the impact of infectious diseases such as HIV/AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis. In 2001 these three diseases were included in the UN Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) alongside with the health goals of reducing maternal and child mortality until 2015. As

Inom historievetenskapen betraktas ofta första världskriget som en historisk och kulturell brytpunkt; en vattendelare mellan 1800-talets fullständiga och 1900-talets villkorliga framstegstro. Trots tolkningens genomslagskraft har den sällan undersökts empiriskt. I föreliggande uppsats studeras den samlade textproduktionen från dagstidningarna Arbetet (socialdemokratisk), Dagens Nyheter (liberal) o

Social services work with violent fathers The objective of this study was to review and analyze how social workers, employed by the Swedish social services, work with fathers that are domestically violent and to discuss their views and perceptions on this issue. Domestic violence is traditionally considered a private matter, and in the past has largely not been considered a child protection issue
