What do current irregular migration flows in the Mediterranean Region, and subsequent policy responses in terms of migration and border control, tell us about the significance of the external borders of the EU in a context of globalization?

Today it is a matter of course to build airtight buildings both in terms of obtaining a good indoor climate as well as meeting the energy requirements. In the near future the energy requirements will be even tougher which demands for even better solutions than there are today. JM is one of the leading companies in its line of building energy efficient buildings but despite this they have been expe

There are several aspects of rune stones that can be discussed and analysed. With the help of digital tools, it is possible to look at social dimensions of archaeological objects in ways that were previously difficult to explore. In this thesis, the aim is to analyse rune stones from a spatial perspective by looking at their possible role in the landscape, what type of context they are found in an

International oil prices have been fluctuating a lot since decades. Since oil is an important component influencing global indicators, it is also important to evaluate to what extent consumer spending is affected in the aftermath of oil price shocks.

In this thesis the possibility of defining a general reference building, or so-called Baseline Building representing Swedish multi-family dwellings is investigated. The scope of the research is limited to analyze the multi-family dwellings of 3-8 stories. If succeeded the results should represent a general Baseline Building according to the new LEED v4 credit, Building Life-Cycle Impact Reduction.

Uppsatsen försöker ge en bild om assyrier/syrianers väg till en etnonationell identitet. Assyrier/syrianer är en kristen folkgrupp vars rötter är från Mellanöstern. Dock bor många av medlemmarna i Sverige och är koncentrerade till Södertälje. Efter bosättningen i Sverige räckte inte gruppens religiösa bakgrund för att etablera sig i landet. År av förtyck och diskriminering i ursprungsområdet resul

The importance of the housing market and labour market has long been recognized and explored in macroeconomics. In this thesis the linkages between these two markets are highlighted and examined. In this paper the particular relationship that will be explored is that of rising housing costs and unemployment, thereby adding to the small number of papers observing rising costs as opposed to falling

Sociala medier har förändrat förutsättningarna för social interaktion. Idag spelar sociala medier en viktig roll i användares sociala liv, men betendet på sociala medier skiljer sig dock från hur människor beter sig i den fysiska världen. Användare tenderar att dela mer privat information på sociala medier än vid social interaktion i den fysiska världen, och ett resultat av detta är att gränsen meSocial media has changed the way in which we interact. Today social media plays an important role for users in their daily social life, though the social media behavior differ from how we behave in the real world. People tend to share more private information on social media than in real life interactions. As a result of this the border between peoples privateand public sphere is transforming. Fac

Our study was based on a qualitative method and we have chosen to interview six professionals,

I de avancerade mjukvarusystem som utvecklas idag krävs det en hel del processer och arbetsmetodik för att säkerställa att produkten håller en bra kvalité. Svårigheten uppstår i att organisationer oftast är tvungna att hantera väldigt många ändringar som kommer från kunder och dessa kan vara av varierande komplexitet, dvs. kräva olika mycket resurser att åtgärda. CGI är ett globalt IT-företag och In the advanced software systems that are developed today there is need for a lot of processes and proper methods to ensure that the developed product maintains a good quality. The difficulty arises in that the organizations often have to deal with many changes arriving from customers and these can be of varying complexity, i.e. require different amount of resources to address. CGI is a global com

I föreliggande uppsats har jag valt att undersöka hur fem lärare ser på betyg i den svenska skolan. Följande tre frågeställningar besvaras: Vad anser lärarna är betygets roll i skolan och hur motiveras betyg utifrån elevsynpunkt? Vad anser lärarna om det nya betygssystemet som infördes 2011? Ser lärarna några risker för elever och för undervisningen ifråga om betyg? Som teoretiskt ramverk används In this essay I have chosen to examine how five teachers look at the grades in Swedish schools. The following three questions are answered: What do the teachers consider is the grades role in the school and how is grades motivated based on pupils' point of view? What do teachers think about the new grading system introduced in 2011? Do teachers se a danger for the students and the teaching que

För att undvika slitage på naturen kanaliseras människor som besöker naturområden ofta att gå på stigar. Men förutom att vegetationen på stigen påverkas, kan stigens närvaro genom en så kallad "kanteffekt" även ha en inverkan på den omkringliggande markvegetationen. Slitage av vegetationen är kanske den mest synliga effekt som uppkommer på ett område som används för friluftsliv. TrampeDespite being precautionary, people visiting nature reserves leave marks. Wear of the vegetation is perhaps the most noticeable effect that can be seen on an area that's being used for recreation, and trampling is usually the primary reason causing the wear of the vegetation. Paths are often being constructed in nature reserves to avoid uncontrolled trampling and wear of natural values. Howeve

Problemformulering: Byggprocessen är idag långsam, kostsam och genererar stora mängder spill och utsläpp. För att kunna möta bostadsbehovet från den snabbt växande befolkningsmängden måste tekniken utvecklas, den måste bli snabbare och mer kostnadseffektiv. Med ny teknik där betongelement tillverkas genom automatiserad och datorstyrd 3D-printning kan eventuellt hela betongbyggnadsprocessen effektiQuestion formulation: The construction process today is slow, costly and generates large amounts of waste and emissions. In order to meet housing needs of the rapidly growing population in a sustainable way, the technology must evolve; it must be faster and more cost-effective. New technology, where concrete is manufactured by automated and computer-controlled 3D-printing, can possibly streamline
