In the field of statistics known as survival analysis, the time from a starting point to one or several endpoints is analysed. Traditional survival analysis deals with one endpoint, while competing risks theory addresses the situation with multiple endpoints. This thesis gives a theoretical introduction to both methods, emphasising the competing risks setting, which is of great importance in many
This essay addresses the needs of so called ‘climate migrants’. It focuses exclusively on the relocation of the population of Kiribati, a small island nation in the Pacific Ocean whose very existence is threatened by the effects of climate change. With the principles of causality, morality, capacity and community, Miller’s Connection Theory provides the study with a framework for discussing the di
The present thesis is a qualitative exploration of a group of patients’ experiences of going through an ayahuasca treatment as well as the human-entity relations they come to be constitutive of during the treatment. The ingestion of ayahuasca allows the drinker to enter a non-ordinary reality which opens up the possibility of having encounters with demons, spirits, angels, saints, animals and God,
Begrepp som jämställdhet och feminism används frekvent i dagens politiska och mediala de-batter. Det är slående hur betydelsen av dessa begrepp skiljer sig beroende på vem som tillfrågas. I jämställdhetsarbetet tenderer Sverige att se sig själv som en förebild, men kämpar likastå med en ojämn könsrepresenation i den privata sektorn. Med utgångspunkt i att begreppet jämställdhet är ett mångtydigt sConcepts such as gender equality and feminism are terms frequently used in political and media debates. It’s striking how the meanings of those terms differ radically de-pending on whom you ask. While Sweden tends to consider itself as a self-reputable role model for prioritizing gender equality, it still struggles with an unequal gender rep-resentation in the private sector. Believing that the t
Sammanfattning Den kanske största miljöpolitiska utmaningen inom Europa är för närvarande frågan om hur det är möjligt att på ett effektivt och ändamålsenligt sätt uppnå miljömålen i syfte att skapa en hållbar utveckling i samhället. Trenden har gått från att tillgripa lagstiftningsåtgärder till att via marknadsbaserade styrmedel försöka involvera olika marknadsaktörer att på egen hand bli delaktSummary Potentially one of the greatest environmental policy challenges in the European Union is the question of how to efficiently and effectively achieve environmental goals through which society can correct for and obtain a level of sustainable development. The trend has gone from one of command and control legislation towards using more market-based instruments that seek to involve the differ
I Sverige lever 40-50 procent av befolkningen med långvarig smärta. Smärtan kan påverka personen fysiskt, psykologiskt, samt kulturellt och kan leda till förändring av aktiviteter, minskad aktivitetsgrad och därmed minskad delaktighet i aktivitet. Behandling som finns är bland annat multidisciplinära rehabiliteringsprogram. GAP i vardagens aktiviteter är ett instrument som mäter delaktighet i akti
Det är troligt att vi under 2000-talet kan förvänta oss mer frekvent hög nederbörd vid höga latituder. Hög nederbörd kan belasta spillvattensystemen i samhället genom att nederbördsrelaterat tillskottsvatten läcker in i spillvattenledningar. Detta kan orsaka problem som översvämmade källare, utspädningseffekter i reningsverk och ökade energikostnader för att pumpa spillvatten. Genom att hitta käll
Association for computer aided genealogy research of Sweden(DIS) is investigating the possibility of a nationwide genealogical database (RGD) of Sweden's historical population. The finished database should contain basic information about individuals' names, birth, marriage, death, and individuals' relationships such as father, mother, husband/wife and children. This will make up a kind
My purpose with this essay was to understand the contact persons view of his/her own professional role/identity, and the specific work environment at a correctional facility as an organization. To reach my purpose I answered three questions: how the correctional organization affect the individual contact person and their workmanship seen from a professional perspective, how contact persons find th
This report is the product of my master thesis in technical design with a focus on product development. The project was done in co-operation with Wayne, who produces and sells fuel dispensers and are a part of General Electrics, at their Malmö office in Sweden. For their latest line of fuel dispensers, Helix, they were in need of a system for describing different configurations for the barrier, an
The aim of this study was to examine how autobiographic authors afflicted by schizophrenia use their language when they talk about themselves, what kind of words and terms they use when they talk about schizophrenia and if there is a possibility that the discourses that the authors use differentiate from each other. In order to examine this I used critical discourse analysis due to the fact that p
Sammanfattning År 1987, kom Brundtlandkommissionens rapport med titeln Vår gemensamma framtid. Enligt rapporten så kan hållbar utveckling definieras som: En utveckling som tillfredsställer dagens behov utan att äventyra kommande generationers möjligheter att tillfredsställa sina behov. Begreppet hållbar utveckling har ända sen dess varit en central del av alla internationella miljörättsliga dokuSummary In 1987 the Brundtland commission presented its report entitled Our Common Future. According to the report, sustainable development can be defined as: A development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. The term sustainable development has been a central part in all international environmental law documents eve
Genom att tolka primärrätten har EU-domstolen fastställt att varje person som drabbats av skada till följd av företags överträdelser av EU:s antitrustregler (s.k. konkurrensskada) har en rätt att söka ersättning för sådan skada. Utformningen av hur rätten ska säkerställas har länge legat på EU:s medlemsländers bord. Under 2005 tog EU-lagstiftaren de första initiativen till att skapa ett harmoniserBy interpretation of the antitrust rules in the EU primary law the ECJ has determined that any person who has suffered loss due to a breach of the those rules have the right to seek damages. For a long time it was up to the member states to make sure that this right was sufficiently protected. In 2005 the EU legislator began a harmonization initiative for this right. In the preparatory acts it was
I föreliggande examensarbete har en riskanalysbaserad metod utvecklats som medger bedömning av fiskfaunas respons till ett förändrat framtida klimat såsom modellerat av IPCC, här kallat klimatinducerat påverkanstryck. Metoden har använts på två fiskarter, röding och siklöja, inom deras utbredningsområde i Jönköpings län. Fiskarterna valdes primärt för att de är kallvattenarter och förutspås vara m
Not much is known about how one-to-one meetings in offender supervision are conducted. Existing research mainly focuses on evidence-based models, how the probation officer should interact with the probationer rather than studying how the probation officer and probationer actually interact. This study was conducted in order to find out what happens during one-to-one supervision meetings and how the
Author: Mimmi Dunfjäll Title: Identities, roles and norms – a discourse analysis of gender and sexuality in practical social work with young citizens and families [translated title] Supervisor: Gabriella Scaramuzzino The aim of this study is to examine how normative male and female identities are constructed in social work practice, specifically with young citizens and families, and also to identi
Innovation is a key factor for sustainable growth and profitability of companies. As innovative, small, start-ups tend to grow, it is important to understand how the innovation performance can be maintained during the growth. The often relatively unstructured organisations of small companies need to implement structures in order to control the operations as they grow. There are contradictions and
This study will examine five GARCH model’s (GARCH, IGARCH, EGARCH, APGARCH and GJR-GARCH) capacity to determine the daily Value at Risk (VaR) of the OMXS30 stock indices, which contains 30 companies with the highest turn-over on the Stockholm Stock Exchange.
