De senaste decennierna har kriminalpolitiken i västvärlden blivit allt mer strafforienterad. Den punitiva, strafforienterade förändringen har även synts i den svenska politiken, som gått från att fokusera på rehabiliterande kriminalpolitik till straffande, kontrollerande kriminalpolitik. I och med den förändringen har begreppet trygghet kommit att ändra betydelse. Med hjälp av tidigare studier om

Sammanfattning Det jag riktat mig in på är hospice och det är ett boende för de som har en obotlig sjukdom och befinner sig i slutskedet av livet. Ett hospiceboende skiljer sig från det vanliga sjukhuset, där omsorgen är mer än bara medicinsk vård. Fokuset ligger istället i helheten och man talar om en filosofi av vård där patientens fysiska såväl existentiella och psykologiska behov är i fokus. Abstract I have focused on hospice which is a home for those who have a terminal disease and are in the final stages of life. Hospice care is more than just the regular hospital medical care. Instead, it is built on a philosophy of care where the patient’s physical, existential and psychological needs are in focus. I will show my interpretation of how a hospice could be built to provide better qu

Abstract: The FIFA World Cup, together with the Summer Olympic Games, are the two events classified as sports mega-events (SMEs), characterized by their global outreach and different types of costs. Within the SME realm, a paradoxical trend can be seen; they show stronger sustainability agendas, yet generate higher social, economic, and environmental costs. The overarching question is their legaci

HI neutral gas is the basic building block of galaxies. It dictates the star formation rate and hence the metal enrichment rates within high redshift galaxies. HI neutral gas cannot be directly observed beyond z ≈ 0.38 due to the weakness of the 21 cm transition, therefore alternate methods need to be developed for studying high redshift galaxies. The emission luminosity of [C II]-157.741 μm trans

The association between education and health is well documented: more educated individuals live longer and have healthier lives. The incidence of health disparities by education was further accentuated during the Covid-19 pandemic, where the rates of Covid-19 cases and fatalities were higher in communities with less-educated populations. Differences in education, and related differences in health

Feminist activism in Mozambique has suffered dramatic changes throughout the many socio-political processes the country has encountered.

Food insecurity in Zimbabwe is severe and increasing. The staple food is made from maize, which is highly sensitive to drought. The traditional small grains; finger millet, pearl millet and sorghum are drought resistant, nutritious and require little inputs compared to maize. Despite this, few farmers grow small grains even though they have been praised as a panacea. This thesis aims to narrow the
