Children do not have many spaces designed entirely for their needs in our world. This has inspired the concept of ‘A Child’s Garden City’. The idea includes research of how children can be included in design and the process of creating safer cities with their considerations in the center. This Master’s Thesis can inspire the relationship between growing natural vegetation, self-sustaining infrastr

In times of increased environmental awareness, there exists a desire to not only build new environmentally friendly and renewable power generating units, but also to increase the efficiency of all existing technology. Wind power is such a renewable and environmentally friendly technology. Wind turbines and wind power have made giant leaps in the world in the past years, with an almost exponential
Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning Kalksten är en av våra viktiga geologiska resurser och har genom historien använts till byggnadsmaterial, jordbruk och inom modern industri. Kalksten i alla dess former har varit en viktig del av människans kulturella och teknologiska utveckling. Ett av alla dess användningsområden är som flussmedel vid bearbetning av järnmalm; bränd kalk tillsätts när malmen smäQuicklime (CaO) is an important geological resource with a wide variety of industrial uses. It is a base chemical produced from the burning of limestone or dolomite. This process is referred to as calcination, during which the limestone is heated to temperatures of 900 °C or higher, resulting in the discharge of CO₂, leaving a yield of quicklime. The formula can be written as follows: Limestone:
The purpose of this study was to examine how professionals within the social services who work with drug abuse think and feel about methadone and subutex as a treatment against heroin addiction. I have used qualitative interviews to receive information about the respondent’s experiences, views and attitudes. I have interviewed three social workers from different municipalities. The municipalities
Konsumtionen i världen ökar och det gör även halten av växthusgaser i atmosfären. Detta kräver högre resurseffektivitet och inom både EU och Sverige finns styrmedel som förespråkar ökad materialåtervinning. Trots detta saknas ofta källsorteringsmöjligheter i offentliga miljöer. I denna studie undersöks möjligheterna till ökad materialåtervinning i offentliga miljöer genom att fokusera på ett införThe global consumption is increasing and so are the levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. This requires a higher resource efficiency and legislation within the EU and Sweden is promoting material recycling to a greater degree than incineration of waste. In spite of this recycling stations can rarely be found in public environments. In this study the possibilities and effects of an increase
Att narkotikabruket är kriminaliserat enligt 1 § 6 p. narkotikastrafflagen innebär att de individer som (miss)brukar narkotika berövas sin frihet genom straff om de upptäcks. Ett sådant frihetsberövande är den mest ingripande åtgärden staten äger att utöva gentemot samhällets medborgare. Makten innebär därför att staten bör förhålla sig restriktiv i sin användning av sanktioner och endast straffbeThe fact that drug use is criminalized under article 1 (6) of the Narcotic Drugs Penal Law means that individuals who use drugs are deprived of their freedom trough punishment if they are discovered. Such deprivation of liberty is the most intrusive measure the state has to exercise towards members of the society. The authorithy therefore means that the state should be restrictive in its use of sa
Sverige har inte befunnit sig i krig på mer än 200 år. Detta till trots, har svensk domstol sedan sekelskiftet handlagt mål som rör krigsförbrytelse. Målen härrör från våldsamma konflikter, såsom i Syrien och Irak, och svensk domstol ställs inför svåra frågor i samband med lagföringen av bland annat svenska medborgare som färdats till konfliktområdet och där deltagit i stridigheterna. VåldsanvänEven though Sweden has not been at war for more than 200 years, Swedish courts have since the turn of the century had to deal with cases involving war crimes. Swedish courts are faced with difficult questions in connection with the prosecution of, among others, Swedish citizens who has travelled to conflict areas, such as Syria and Iraq, and participated in the warfare. The use of force in an arm
Den 1 juli 2020 infördes ett nytt regelverk gällande rapporteringspliktiga arrangemang i Sverige och i samband med detta infördes även en uppgiftsskyldighet att lämna uppgifter om rapporteringspliktiga arrangemang till Skatteverket. För att ett arrangemang ska vara rapporteringspliktigt ska det vara gränsöverskridande samt innehålla minst ett kännetecken. Ett kännetecken är en egenskap i ett arranOn the July 1, 2020, a new framework of rules regarding reportable arrangements was introduced in Sweden and at the same time a reporting obligation to give information about reportable arrangements to the Swedish Tax Agency (STA) was introduced. For an arrangement to be reportable it must be cross-border and include at least one hallmark. A hallmark is a characteristic in an arrangement which is
Bör Sverige förbjuda rasistiska föreningar? Det är en fråga som många ställer sig i dagsläget. De senaste åren har problem med ökad rasism uppmärksammats i Sverige. Föreningar dedikerade till dessa rasistiska budskap har fått allt mer utrymme i media och ges demonstrationstillstånd på samma villkor som andra föreningar. De som är för ett förbud mot rasistiska föreningar menar att Sverige ska sättaShould Sweden prohibit racist associations? This is a highly relevant question of today since problems of increased racism has attracted attention in Sweden the last few years. Associations dedicated to racism has been given more and more space in the media and are given demonstration permits on the same terms as other associations. Those in favor of prohibiting racist associations says that Swede
Med minskade resurser av fossila bränslen och ökade miljökrav har förnybara ersättningar fått större uppmärksamhet. Produktionen av förnybara kemikalier och bränslen genom förgasning av biomassa är en lovande lösning för att driva denna energiomställning. Syntesgas (syngas), en blandning av främst CO och H2, kan framställas av biomassa via förgasning. Biologisk me-tanisering, som ett potentiellt aWith reduced resources of fossil fuels and increased environmental requirements, renewable substitutes have received greater attention. The production of renewable chemicals and fuels through biomass gasification presents a promising route to drive this energy transition. Synthe-sis gas (syngas), a mixture of mainly CO and H2, can be produced from biomass via gasifica-tion. Biological methanation,
This project presents the reader with possibilities for how Malmö can develop, it shows a methodical approach and proposal for how it is possible to treat the site, ”August Palms plats” and its’ public spaces in order to deal with the social challenges of the city. By interpreting theoretical articles I have created physical manifestations, where public space can generate situations promoting dial
With the need for housing in Sweden high and steadily growing, there is now more emphasis than before on urban expansion in cities. Built areas consist of social relationships, structures and contacts which can be described as social risks when they lead to negative effects. Social effects are altered by changes in the physical environment, which is why it is essential to properly plan out these e

There is a global demand for sustainable industrial development and a call to make manufacturing “greener”. Nanotechnologies are in a promising position to be early adopters of this concept. Advancements in the nanomaterial industry can help confront global issues, and aid in sustainable development that enables positive economic, environmental, and social changes. Formal evaluation of a product’s
Individualised healthcare is the future of medicine, due to the so called inter-patient variability. The inter-patient variability involves differences in the drug response between different patients. The effect of a drug can usually be divided into pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD). One way to individualise anaesthesia, may be to automate it using closed-loop control systems. This t
There are spatial elements and factors in every social activity. Physical environment in particular and its characteristics has a significant effect in the social decisions and outcomes of a location and of the residents of disadvantaged areas. These spatial elements and factors have been the main focus in many researches and studies about young people’s socio-economic statuses and achievements. T

In order to achieve this objective, in this study was analyzed longitudinal data with annual observations for all the municipalities of the country. The results
Media has a great influence on our everyday life, where they report on a daily basis about news from all around the society we live in. With the help of their stories we create our own realities and truths. Media decides to write about incidents that has a public interest, however there is also an underlying thought of economic interest. Malmö has long been seen as a dangerous city with a high cr
The purpose of this thesis is to take the temperature of social capital in four cities – Bologna, Modena, Reggio nell’Emilia, and Parma – in the historical region Emilia in Italy. Social capital, which has been described as ‘the key to making democracy work’ is conceptualized and decomposed into two key variables: trust and participation. Furthermore, the study consists of new empirical statistica
