Can the Sweden Democrats (SDs) be accountable for their own success? If so, how can it be explained over time? This study sets out to measure the ideological appeal of the SDs and explain it via three stages of party development. Ideological appeal is conceptualised using saliency theory and explained via supply theory that centres on the behaviours of the SDs to win votes. To test behaviours, it

This paper investigates differences in perception of leadership and well-being between guest workers and native workers in Sweden. Guest workers are individuals who take up temporary employment in a foreign country. While previous research has found cultural differences in well-being, there is limited research investigating the well-being of guest workers in a host country. Similarly, previous res

Gravitational encounters between a single star and a binary system can frequently occur in the cores of dense stellar systems like globular clusters. These three-body scattering encounters can lead to a variety of outcomes since the energy of the binary components can be exchanged with the interacting single star. The outcome of these interactions strongly depend on the initial conditions of the i

Narkotika har sedan 1960-talet utgjort ett allvarligt samhällsproblem i Sverige. En skyndsam utbredning har varit en bidragande faktor till stor del av den grova brottsligheten i landet. På 1970-talet infördes målet om ett narkotikafritt samhälle i Norden, vilket sedan dess varit ledande för Sverige. Utmärkande för Sveriges narkotikapolitik är ett strängt och restriktivt förhållningssätt. Ett narkDrugs were noted as a serious public issue in Sweden during the 1960s with its accelerated expansion and conduciveness to heavy criminality. During the 1970s, the drug policy towards a drug free society was introduced in the Nordic region, and is still today advocated in Sweden.

This master thesis is an attempt to approach the issue of the lack of application of cause advocacy in modern social work practice. The research problem is framed in a way that historical roots of the commitment to social justice in the profession are presented with the further argumentation for the lack of this approach in contemporary social work. A qualitative study has been conducted to fulfil

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning Syftet med examensarbetet är att undersöka två stärkelse-typer, waxy korn och majs stärkelse. Dessa behandlades med syra och de behandlade stärkelserna undersöktes vad avser deras reologiska egenskaper och sedan studerades om de kunde användas vid formulering av olika typer av stärkelsemikrosfärer. I denna studie skall stärkelse användas för att kapsla in jästceThe aim of this diploma work is to investigate the acid hydrolyses of two types of starch, waxy barley and maize starch to be applied for further usage, in rheology studies and formulation of starch microspheres. Modified starch has always been essential in many areas, especially in tablets, where it could be used as a disintegrant. Starch has also been investigated for manufacturing microspheres.

Abstract An ice sheet always experience more or less melting during the summer. How much melting that occurs, is mostly determined by the albedo. Albedo is defined as the amount of the incoming shortwave radiation that gets reflected by a surface. When the sunlight starts melting the ice and snow in the summer, the albedo gets lower. The lower albedo itself causes more absorption of radiation, wh

How to best organize the social services unit of individual and family care (IFO) has been in question since the 1980ies. Two principal ways of organization have been used, called integrated and specialized organization. In an integrated organization, the social secretary works with all parts of the clients' problem picture. This structure used to be the norm but is today only employed by a fe

A small yet substantial share of Swedish municipalities have chosen to engage in development aid projects. While examining the incentives behind local authorities’ engagement in non-compulsory projects, this study contributes to the broader research on public policy and organizational theory, as it investigates how reforms are initiated, adopted and spread. The research process consists of three

In this article, the effects of conflict on the economic growth of neighboring countries (referred to as economic spillover effects of conflict) are studied for Asia, Africa and Latin America during 1990-2019. Compared to previous studies on the subject, this study accounts for the changing conflict climate over the years by starting the sample period 30 years later than other authors. The overall

Denna systematiska litteraturstudie med kvalitativ metodik vill undersöka betydelsen av kulturkompetens hos terapeuten. Studien omfattar både terapeut- och klientperspektiv. Studien beskriver relevansen av matchning respektive inte matchning mellan terapeut och klient med olika kulturell / etnisk bakgrund.

The study includes both therapist and client perspectives. The study describes the relevance of matchinga and not matching between therapist and client with different cultural / ethnic backgrounds. Based on metasynthesis, the study has resulted in three themes;

Russia has been issuing passports to Eastern Europe and the South Caucasus since the Soviet dissolution. Most targeted are secessionist regions of former Soviet states, whose populations are now becoming Russian due to passportisation. This has had several effects on the Eastern Neighbourhood, including brain drain, meaning that the highly educated and skilled citizens are emigrating. The brain dr

Klimatkrisen är en av de största utmaningar som mänskligheten någonsin stått inför och mycket krävs för att bevara klimatet. Många forskare letar lösningar för att stävja de värsta effekterna av ett förändrat klimat. Ett av de mest aktuella problemen är att förhindra eller sakta ned den globala uppvärmningen eftersom det rapporterats att vissa effekter är oåterkalleliga när de väl trätt i kraft, sThis thesis report on an investigation into the applicability of mid-infrared degenerate four-wave mixing (IR-DWFM) as a method to detect N\(_2\)O in ammonia flames. DFWM has previously been used for concentration measurements on other molecules, but has never, to the author's knowledge, been applied to measure N\(_2\)O in ammonia flames before. Through measurements in gas flows at different t

Planerar du att bygga ett gemensamt avlopp med grannarna? Då ska du se upp med utförandetiden. De senaste åren har antalet gemensamhetsanläggningar som behöver avregistreras ökat och den tveklöst vanligaste anledningen är att anläggningen inte färdigställts inom den beslutade tiden för utförande. Att en gemensamhetsanläggning, en gemensamt bildad anläggning bildad för flera fastigheter, exempelviWhen a joint facility is not constructed on time or the payment for the compulsory purchase is absent the joint facility can be de-registered. This topic has not been studied before and the aim of this study is to evaluate how common de-registrations are and to understand what we can learn from practical cases. The study researches the present and historically legislation through a systematic revi
