The study is based on interviews with recruiters from two municipal organizations. The material from the interviews are analysed with a critical approach to neo-liberalism and with the help of theories about racialization processes, migrat
Within the first decade of this millennium several Western European countries have prohibited Muslim veils in public spaces. Excluding the culture of Muslims or more specifically Islamic beliefs in a multicultural society, in which the hardest hit are Muslim veiled women, has resulted in the discourse of the ‘rise and fall of multiculturalism’. Although Sweden has not prohibited hijab or any other
I denna uppsats undersöks hur colombianer i Sverige gör för att skaffa sig försörjning och på andra sätt ”ta sig framåt”. Mer specifikt undersöks vilken betydelse begreppet rebusque får, som i Colombia har innebörden av strategier för att med alternativa metoder lösa olika problem. Betydelsen av rebusque undersöks dels i sökandet efter försörjning men även i narrativet om självet. Uppsatsen grunda
Following a macroeconomic stabilization and consistent economic growth during the 2000s, Brazil experienced a continuous decrease on poverty incidence for the first time in its contemporary history. While the literature emphasizes the importance of economic growth alongside social development to fight poverty, the Brazilian experience also displays strong government action through expanding social
In mass media social workers are often accused of either neglect for too long or interfering too soon in child protection cases in which children risk to come to harm. Given that the terrain of child protection has always been ambiguous and uncertain we wanted to explore the Swedish social workers’ own view on risk assessments. The aim of this study was to examine how social workers working with c
Expatriate job burnout and work engagement are not widely studied despite their importance in the global labor market. Using a self-reported online questionnaire, the present study investigated the relationship between job burnout, job mismatch and work engagement in relation to psychological adaptation for international professionals (N = 63) working in Sweden. The results showed that psychologic
Detta examensarbete ämnar till att beskriva gällande lagstiftning, praxis och doktrin kring vinstfördelning med fokus på hur förrättningskostnaderna är tänkta att fördelas då genomsnittsvärdeprincipen används. Vidare är syftet att skildra hur förrättningskostnaderna fördelas i praktiken genom att undersöka praxis från underinstanser och lantmäteriförrättningar. Avsikten är att utröna om det finns Detta examensarbete ämnar till att beskriva gällande lagstiftning, praxis och doktrin kring vinstfördelning med fokus på hur förrättningskostnaderna är tänkta att fördelas då genomsnittsvärdeprincipen används.

This study demonstrates that the anthropocentric human-animal divide perpetuates violent ideologies and practices by emphasising the intersectionality of oppression across species boundaries. Taking the practice of Swedish dairy farming and inherent ideologies as a case of such intersectional oppression, the Othering of bovines and their treatment as means of production is problematised. This is d
Feedback möjliggör medvetande om handlingar, egenskaper, beteenden eller liknande som från början kan ha varit omedvetna. Budskap kan tolkas olika av individer vilket kan bero på skillnader i ålder, etnicitet, familjesituation eller erfarenheter. Vid öppna kommunikationsklimat är chanserna större att medarbetare vill försöka att förstå dessa olikheter och medvetandegöra saker hos varandra genom fe
Fossilbaserad elproduktion i Sverige fasas ut allt mer och ersätts med förnybara energikällor. Omställningen till ett mer förnybart energisystem fortgår redan nu eftersom intermittenta förnybara energikällor, såsom vindkraft, driftsätts varje år. Denna omvandling innebär utmaningar för elnätet eftersom tillgång och efterfrågan inte alltid sammanfaller. Flexibilitetsåtgärder kan mildra dessa effekt
What part of the welfare state is to be handled by the non-profit sector? This is something that is recurring in the Swedish political debate and lately there has been special focus on the women shelters. Questions have been raised about whether voluntary staff is competent enough to have responsibility for abused women, but the volunteers own view on the topic is nowhere to be found. Therefore th
This study explored an exemplifying case of the business activities of Donbasi Internally Displaced Persons in order to examine a relationship between entrepreneurs’ necessity motivation and growth orientation. Three main questions were addressed to generate this knowledge: How are displaced entrepreneurs making a living? Why are they doing what they are doing? How do they foresee the future of th
This thesis will examine the increased amount of information made available through modern media, and how this affects the diversity in consumption. The thesis will focus on how diversity in music consumption has evolved over the years. There are two contradicting theories that try to describe the impact modern media could have on consumption, the theory of the Long Tail and the Superstar effect.
This study intends to conclude the theoretical explanation and obtain empirical support for the relationship between M&A and corporate hedge. It applies Logit and Tobit Model to test two null hypotheses about M&A, along with six other proxies that are seen as determinants of corporate hedging activity. The result proves that corporate hedge is affected by mergers and acquisitions. First, M
It’s been known that checking of construction documents has become worse over time. There’s a lot to get done in a very short period of time and many therefore choose to do a sloppy checking or no checking at all. Checking of construction documents is done to ensure quality. Checking include both strength, building technics and technical drawing. External checking was the standard over 20 years ag
Environmental certification for buildings has become more common since the first certification system became available on the market in the 90s. Today there are hundreds of thousands buildings with an environmental certification. More and more companies choose to place their business in a certified building. The problem when companies are in the election of a new facility may be the lack of knowle
Distribution as a concept means that a task (for example, data storage or code execution) is parallelized on multiple computers. It goes hand in hand with the concept of big data – extreme amounts of data that can’t be processed by a single computer. Because of this, the most established tools for distributed parallelization is tools that are designed to handle big data. This thesis explores wheth
This study concerns materials logistics in the construction processes of complex building projects in urban developing areas, where the authors have carried out a case study on the future urban renewal project Oceanpiren, H+. Urban renewable projects can be regarded as a common category in construction, due to increasing urbanization followed by an enhanced demand. This type of project is often re
