In December 2014 Swedish radio leaked that Swedish police kept a record about women reporting that they have been exposed to domestic violence. The record contained subjective comments about 2500 women. The record has been kept at and used by Polisen Södertörns victim group, and holds subjective comments about both the women and their related. The record has been established and used during the ye

Rapporten undersöker betydelsen för val av borrmetod när en formationsfilterbrunn ska dimens-ioneras. Dimensionering av filtrets slitsvidd görs med utgångspunkt från kornstorleksanalyser genom provtagning av borrkax. Ett formationsfilter byggs upp genom att tvätta bort en stor del av det finkorniga materialet i ett sedi-ment och låta de grövre partiklarna fungera som ett naturligt grusfilter runt This report examines the significance for the choice of drilling methods when dimensioning a formation well screen. Dimensioning the slot openings of the well screen is done by studying sediment samples by sieve anal-ysis. The sieve analysis shows the abundance of the particle size distribution in the aquifer, and the particles sam-pled should therefore give an adequate description of the real con

Ökade koldioxidutsläpp från köpcentrum utanför city Handelsplatser utanför städers stadskärnor kan, på grund av billigare markytor och lägre hyror, erbjuda konkurrenskraftiga priser jämfört med handel i citylägen. Externa handelsplatser är konkurrenskraftiga i jämförelse med andra handelsplatser, på grund av det stora utbud av varor som erbjuds under ett och samma tak, sena öppettider och tillgåOut-town-shopping leads to an increase in greenhouse gases. The increase in greenhouse gases is generated by the added transportation of fossile fules run vehicles to the location of the shopping malls. The aim of this study is to analyse how employees’ travels to the out-of-town work place, the shopping mall Nova 1, in Lund. The analyse is made to find out whether it is possible to increase the s

Uppsatsen behandlar ämnet visselblåsare utifrån ett intressentperspektiv. Yttrandefriheten är grunden för visselblåsare men den skapar ibland svåra intresseavvägningar. Rätten i sig ger även exempel på olika intresseavvägningar. Syftet med uppsatsen är att synliggöra vilka intressen som ligger till grund för hur gällande rätt har utformats avseende visselblåsare. Vidare är syftet att jämföra vilkaThe subject for this essay is Whistleblower from a stakeholder perspective. Freedom of expression is the foundation of the Whistleblowers. But sometimes it creates difficulties when balancing different interests (for instance duty of loyalty). The law also gives examples of the balancing of different interests. The purpose of this essay is to highlight the interests which are the basis for how the

This thesis analyzes how extended producer responsibility for textiles became prominent on the Swedish national political agenda in the 2010th decennium. In January 2014 the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency was asked by the government to investigate how an extended producer responsibility for textile could be designed. This thesis aims to understand the processes which lead to this outcome.

Integrationspolitiken har under senare år blivit ett allt mer prioriterat område. På grund av ett förändrat klimat runt om i världen med krig och förföljelse är det idag fler människor på flyende fot än under andra världskriget. I takt med ett ökat mottagande i Sverige presenteras nya förslag inom integrationspolitiken. Enligt Ipsos marknadsundersökning är idag integration och invandring den näst In the last few years the interest for integration policy has gotten more and more attention. New policy suggestions from the leading parties have drawn the attention to problem solving in the integration debate. Problem representations that suggests new ways in which the migrants conditions for being integrated in the society relies on that there is a problem that needs to be solved. The main pur

The compact city model emerged as a sustainable response against the dominant trend of urban sprawl. However, the compact city model is not without controversy. Many scholars have questioned the veracity, feasibility and desirability of the compact city through three sets of critiques. Results from the desirability dimension have led to criticism of the model for running counter to the residential

The extensive studies on D. sechellia have made it a familiar example of chemosen-sory evolution and speciation. This specialist drosphilid species is well-known for its ability to tolerate and actively seek out its toxic host Morinda citrifolia (noni). It was originally thought that this toxic fruit was the exclusive host of D. sechellia because most drosophilids cannot tolerate and are deterred

Denna studie syftar till att undersöka hur en organisation kan upprätthålla en viss föreställning genom strategisk kommunikation. Detta uppnås genom det empiriska exemplet mjölk, ett livsmedel som under lång tid framställts som objektivt, naturligt och vetenskapligt, vilket lett till en etablerad föreställning om att mjölk är nödvändig i vår dagliga kost. Syftet uppfylls genom en foucauldiansk kriThis thesis aims to investigate how an organization can maintain a certain conception through strategic communication. This is achieved by the empirical example of milk, a food that is looked upon as something objective, natural and scientific, which has led to an established conception that milk is essential in our daily diet. The purpose of the thesis is met by a foucauldian critical discourse a

This study explores the plausibility of the thesis that the thematisation of issues re-lated to data protection is affected by the degree to which an issue can be experi-enced personally. In drawing a line from issues management theory to agenda-setting and the theory of news value, this study demonstrates that knowledge about thematisation struc-tures is central to issues management and that pre

Material och produkter som kan innehålla hälsofarliga ämnen förekommer på förskolor i Hässleholms kommun. Bristande kunskap och rutiner bidrar även till barns exponering för dessa ämnen. Det är av vikt att man arbetar långsiktigt för giftfria förskolor. Åtgärder finns, och en hel del kan göras omgående för att minimera problemet. Användningen av kemikalier har ökat markant de senaste decennierna.During the last decades the production and consumption of chemicals has increased dramatically. We know that some chemicals are hazardous for humans and the environment but for most of them our knowledge is limited. Children are very sensitive to hazardous substances compared to adults because of their undeveloped bodies and different behavior. Due to lacking knowledge and regulation of chemicals

The massive rural-urban population flow has been proceeding in China for decades ever since the 1980s. Millions of labor migrants move to industrialized cities for a better future for themselves, as well as their families. The increasing amount of migrants has led to the phenomenon of the “left-behind”. Among the left-behind group, left-behind children seem to be at a relatively vulnerable situati

Large-scale mining has been declared to be a central development strategy of Colombia which has caused the emergence of resistance movements of peasant, ethno-territorial and indigenous groups. This study analyses the concept of resistance in the framework of the Afro-Colombian community of the river Yurumanguí. This community has managed to keep its territory free from externally driven mining an

For that purpose four interviews were conducted with the most important actors on the student housing market in Lund. This thesis first examines the characterist

Mikrotexturer är mikrometerstora avtryck på kvartskornens ytor samt på korn med andra mineralogiska egenskaper. Kvartskorn, som förekommer i de flesta sedimentära miljöer, innehåller mikrotexturer som undersöks särskilt på grund av kvartsmineralets unika mineralogiska egenskaper som möjliggör bevarandet av mikrotexturer genom olika miljöer. I denna studien är mikrotexturer en viktig källa för att Microtextures are micrometer-sized imprints on the surfaces of quartz grains and on grains with other mineralogical compositions. Quartz grains, which occur in most sedimentary environments, contain microtextures which are especially studied due to quartz unique mineralogical properties allowing for preservation of microtex-tures through different environments. In this study, microtextures are an

Visionaries around the world are advocating for a shorter working week, and there is a reason behind it. Long working hours have been shown to impede productivity while a reduction in working hours increases work-life balance. Future generations’ economic and environmental sustainability may furthermore benefit from a shorter working week. Through a redistribution of working hours, equality and em
