I detta examensarbete undersöks förekomsten av redaktionella artiklar om våldsbrott, närmare bestämt skjutningar, utifrån dagordningsteorin. Enligt denna teori kan frekvensen av artiklar om särskilda ämnen, och längden på och placeringen av sådana artiklar, påverka läsarna på så sätt att ämnena i dessa betonade artiklar uppfattas som viktigare. Vidare undersöks innehållet i artiklar om skjutningarIn this degree project, the occurrence of editorial articles about violent crimes, more specifically shootings, is examined in accordance with agenda-setting theory. According to this theory, the frequency of articles about particular topics, as well as the length and placement of such articles, can influence readers in such a way that the topics of these emphasized articles are perceived as more

Skåne faces great challenges for young people entering the labour market. The challenges include problems for unemployed and employers to meet. Furthermore, another challenge is all about low educational tradition. Last year (2015) Region Skåne started up a project called 1+1=3, where the aim is to work between administrations to get a better overview on how to tackle the challenges. This study is

Intrinsically disordered proteins are fully functional proteins without a three-dimensional structure. Intrinsically disordered proteins can, in the same way as ordered proteins, interact with other proteins to fulful their function. When intrinsically disordered proteins interact with other proteins they can form complexes, so-called fuzzy complexes, with different degrees of disorder still prese

Supplemental Instruction (SI) is a 47-year old proven peer-learning model that addresses student engagement, performance and retention as well as the transition to Higher Education (HE). SI was developed at the University of Missouri Kansas City in the US and has received wide recognition. Today the method has practitioners all over the United States as well as in several other countries around th

If we want to imagine a more sustainable future, we need to be emotionally connected with that vision. Providing the latest facts and figures alone won’t do the trick. We suggest storytelling can be a great way to convey these facts in a compelling way to envision and connect with a possible future. Stories are an effective narrative device, because they activate areas of the brain responsible for

The use of 3D city models is changing from visualization to complex use cases where they act as 3D base maps. This requires links to registers and continuous updating of the city models. Still, most models never change or are recreated instead of updated. This study identifies obstacles to version management of 3D city models and proposes recommendations to overcome them, with a main focus on the

One may indicate the potentials of an MT system by stating what text genres it can process, e.g., weather reports and technical manuals. This approach is practical, but misleading, unless domain knowledge is highly integrated in the system. Another way to indicate which fragments of language the system can process is to state its grammatical potentials, or more formally, which languages the gramma

The Nucleosome Remodeling and Deacetylase (NuRD) complex is a transcriptional regulator essential to several normal developmental processes, but also found to have a role in several types of cancer. In order to design cancer therapies targeting this complex, determining the structure and subunit composition is crucial. X-ray crystallography is required for the level of detail desired, demanding la

År 2006 var året då fler människor bodde i städer än på landsbygden och år 2030 uppskattas 5 miljarder människor bo i en urban miljö. Att lösa boendesituationen för de som flyttar till städer är ett globalt problem som kommer bli viktigare än någonsin tidigare att lösa. (Montgomery, 2014) Bostadsbyggandet i Sverige har de senaste åren ökat, men befolkningen ökar i ännu högre takt vilket gör att bo2006 was the year when more people lived in cities than in rural areas and by 2030 approximately 5 billion people will be living in an urban environment. Solving the housing situation of those who move to cities is a global problem that will become more important than ever to solve. (Montgomery, 2014) Housing construction in Sweden has increased in recent years, but the population is increasing at

Fynd vid brottsplatser av vävnadsprov som kan användas för DNA-profilering har fått en ökande betydelse vid såväl utredning av brott som i efterföljande rättsliga processer. Genom en kombination av förfinad genetisk teknologi och förbättrade möjligheter att via datoriserade register jämföra DNA-fynd från brottsplatser med tidigare insamlade DNA-profiler från kända eller misstänkta brottslingar kanThe securing at crime scenes of tissue samples that can be used for DNA-profiling is gaining increasing importance in criminal investigations, as well as in lawsuits. Thanks to the combination of refined genetic technologies and markedly improved means to compare DNA profiles detected at crime scenes with those stored in various forensic registries through computerized database searches, both Swed

Background and purpose: Stroke is one of the world’s most common diseases and the second leading cause of death worldwide. From 1996 to 2006 the treatment of acute ischemic stroke (AIS) was limited to intravenous fibrinolytic therapy; a treatment often associated with risk and insufficiency. In 2006, treating AIS by mechanical clot removal, known as thrombectomy, was approved by the U.S. Food and

The stylized fact that stock markets are not perfectly liquid propels banks to incorporate liquidity risk in the risk metrics so that market risk can be managed properly. Disregarding liquidity risk can lead to an underestimation of overall risk and substantial losses. This is particularly true in emerging markets where illiquidity problem is more severe than in developed market economies. Liquidi

The research takes a descriptive and exploratory approach in understanding how the risk experience of top athletes shapes sports entrepreneurs’ risk-handling strategies. In particular, the purpose of this study is to advance the theoretical knowledge of entrepreneurial risk-handling by studying risk-handling strategies developed and applied by sports entrepreneurs and putting them into a conceptua

The essence of cloud computing is about moving workloads from your local IT infrastructure to a data center that scales and provides resources at a moments notice. Using a pay-as-you-go model to rent virtual infrastructure is also known as a Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) offering. This helps consumers provision hardware on-demand without the need for physical infrastructure and the challenges

Our world is experiencing accelerated ecological destruction and social injustices on different scales and multiple levels. Unchecked economic growth has been criticised as causing this since the 1970s, but the dominant sustainable development paradigm has perpetuated the belief that economic growth and environmental protection can go hand-in-hand. In response degrowth has emerged in the last deca

Football, or soccer as the Americans call it, is the world’s most popular sport. Why is that? I believe it has something to do with the simplicity of the game. Compared to a lot of other sports, the only piece of equipment you need to play is a ball. With only a ball, a game of football could be played almost anywhere - in the park, at the beach, against a wall or on the street. One of the reason

Children’s participation could seem to be an obvious ingredient in social services child protection investigations. Children’s rights to make their voice and opinion heard and to affect the decisions that involve them is stated in law, conventions and other regulations. Despite this, a lot of previous studies show that children’s rights often are forgotten or non-prioritized in social services. Th

En central del av barnrättsperspektivet och barnets bästa är barn och ungas rätt att komma till tals i frågor som rör dem. Denna rättighet är särskilt viktig i samband med vård enligt LVU eftersom det är en av de allra mest ingripande åtgärder som staten genom sociala myndigheter kan vidta. Barns rätt att komma till tals är reglerad både i svensk rätt och internationella instrument. 36 § LVU stadgA central part of the children’s rights perspective and the best interests of the child is children and young persons’ right to express their views in matters concerning them directly. This right is particularly important in the context of care under the Care of Young Persons (Special Provisions) Act since compulsory care is one of the most far-reaching measures the state can take through social a
