The sex industry is a lucrative, multi-billion dollar business around the world. Many women and girls are trapped in prostitution with the consequences it gives. Prostitution as such is not seen as a human rights violation today. Trafficking and so-called ‘enforced prostitution’ are on the other hand seen as serious abuses of fundamental rights. The purpose of this thesis is to investigate and a
“Abuse – That’s not really a factor in my world”: A qualitative study about how abuse is defined and constructed within geriatric care Nursing homes have increasingly come under attack in recent years for scandals involving the abuse of elderly care-takers within their organisations. The purpose of this study was to determine how abuse can be defined by the staff within geriatric care in nursing
The subject of our master’s thesis is museum exhibitions for children. The thesis is based on three research questions: “What purposes do institutions have when they decide to produce museum exhibitions specifically for children?”, “What are the similarities and differences concerning the intermediation techniques, voice and intent in this type of exhibitions?” and “How does the underlying intenti

För att nå fram med budskap i dagens allt mer stegrande informationsbrus, krävs metoder som får mottagarna att reagera och lägga märke till det som sänds ut. En av dessa metoder är så kallad “dold PR”, där det verkliga budskapet är dolt bakom en annan nyhet, eller helt enkelt utger sig för att vara något annat än vad det är. Denna studie undersöker fenomenet ”dold PR” ur ett mottagarperspektiv, dä
Instead of investing 145 billion SEK in building a new high speed rail network, much greater value in terms of transport capacity is likely to be found in constructing a new system of tube transport with a travel speed of 600 km/h. The suggested technology does not exist yet. However, research and development is advancing and accepting that a new technology is emerging might be the greatest hurdle
With more than half the world’s population living in ever more economically productive cities, and urbanisation continuing apace, large-scale environmental problems resulting from unsustainable, excessively consumption-focussed life styles are doomed to happen. Meanwhile large amounts of equipment and infrastructure are barely used. The recently emerged Sharing City concept combines the benefits o
De flesta av anmälningarna till diskrimineringsombudsmannen rör etnisk diskriminering i arbetslivet. Trots detta har enbart ett fall av indirekt etnisk diskriminering och ett fall av etniska trakasserier konstaterats av de trettiotal mål rörande etnisk diskriminering som Arbetsdomstolen prövat sedan 1994. Allvarlig kritik har riktats till Sverige från Europarådets kommission mot rasism och intoler
This thesis deals with the application of the so-called Essential Facilities Doctrine in Community law against the background of the special characteristics and needs of the biotechnology industry. The Essential Facilities Doctrine obliges under competition law the dominant owner of an essential facility to grant access to third parties on non-discriminatory terms. When obliged to grant access the
The purpose of this study was to examine the responsibility for children’s right to education. More precisely the aim was to find out who, in the on-going debate, was presented as being responsible of making sure that children, who have the right and obligation to attend school, actually do so. In my study I did a document analysis of two newspapers, one for teachers; Lärarnas tidning, and one for
For any acquisition to take place the assets to be sold must be valued. Some argue that an asset is worth whatever an acquirer is willing to pay for it at any given time. We believe that there is an underlying value (intrinsic value) that depends on the expected future cash flows of the asset and the risk associated with these cash flows. There exist several methods for estimating this value. Trad
Background: In many businesses is the next customer not the end-customer but another company that further refines the product. This type of business relations demands a different type of marketing than regular supplier-customer businesses. Electronic manufacturing services (EMS) are concept that means design, manufacturing, testing, distribution, after-sales service of electronics products to the
A novel technique that uses polymer nanoparticles as pseudostationary phase in capillary electrochromatography with electrospray ionization mass spectrometry detection is described. A continuous full filling technique in which the nanoparticles were suspended in the entire electrolyte volume as well as a conventional partial filling technique is presented. No nanoparticles entered the mass spectro
Internet-delivered psychological treatment of major depression has been investigated in several trials, but the role of personalized treatment is less investigated. Studies suggest that guidance is important and that automated computerized programmes without therapist support are less effective. Individualized e-mail therapy for depression has not been studied in a controlled trial. Eighty-eight i
Background: Use of three-dimensional (3D) color volume-rendered (VR) images has been reported to be more time-efficient compared to that of cross-sectional computed tomography (CT) images for the diagnosis of peroneal tendon dislocation. However, the diagnostic performance of this technique has not been studied. Purpose: To test diagnostic accuracy of 3D color VR CT images of ankle for peroneal te
Background: Chronic pain patients are common in general practice. In this study "chronic pain" is defined as diffuse musculoskeletal pain not due to inflammatory diseases or cancer. Effective patient-physician relations improve treatment results. The relationship between doctors and chronic pain patients is often dysfunctional. Consultation training for physicians and medical students can improve
Abstract: The world in which companies are acting today offers challenges in the sense that it is rapidly changing and that a vast amount of information is available. In order to ensure the competitiveness and survival of the company, an effective and efficient environmental scanning is essential to the company. Our aim with this Master's thesis is to investigate what factors constitutes impor
The aim of this research paper was to examine the help required by refugee children with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). In addition to this, we also examined the help the refugee children are currently receiving. We have examined this from the perspective of the theory of the ecology of human development. The method we used was qualitative and we conducted eleven profound interviews with p
Problem definition: In the Swedish construction projects, there is a role "logistics manager" whose assignment is to manage the logistics at the production site. Exactly how and which logistic related tasks they perform is uncertain. The study’s aim is to find some general patterns and methods that are used by the role holders.
Purpose: The study aims to contribute to t
This is an explorative qualitative study of a cognitive-behavioural group treatment (CBT) with seven young women within the framework of a larger project. The project’s main objective was to get participants to start working or studying. The function of our particular treatment program was to help the participants reach this goal. Group CBT treatment included psychoeducational components as well a
