This thesis investigates the imbalances in the polycentric Region of Scania posed by the priorities made by infrastructural planning. Comparing the demographically and economically weaker southeastern municipalities of Scania with the much stronger growth poles located in southwest of the region. Further it looks at how the existing railway system contributes to cement a hegemonic structure within

Costa Rica is one of Latin America’s pioneers in terms of steady economic growth, environmental protection, and educational spending. Yet behind this general perception, the country faces structural problems, like high inequality levels and sky-rocketing youth unemployment, indicating rather exclusive development pattern. In order to tackle these challenges, the government places high hopes in the

I juni 2018 meddelade HD ett avgörande (NJA 2018 s. 414) gällande förutsättningarna för att en advokat ska anses skadeståndsansvarig vid vårdslös rådgivning. Rättsfallet som blev uppmärksammat möttes även av kritik då det inte ansågs sprida mycket ljus över frågan med undantag av att ribban för skadeståndsansvar numera var hög. HD hade nämligen konstaterat att skadeståndsansvar förelåg först vid uIn June of 2018 the Supreme Court delivered a judgment regarding a lawyer’s liability for damages due to negligent advice. The case (NJA 2018 s. 414) was met with criticism as it was not considered to bring much clarity to the matter. It was suspected that the bar concerning lawyer’s liability had been raised since the Supreme Court had stated that liability for damages only existed when the lawye

Inventory control is a subject that impacts more or less every section of most businesses, hence companies today view it as a crucial problem of strategic importance (Axsäter, 2015). Managing inventory is a complex task which can be made even more complex by considering multiple items interacting with each other throughout the supply network. This master thesis attempts to show, through a case stu

Popular Abstract in Swedish Mobiltelefonanvändandet förändrades radikalt för några år sedan när de nya grafiska ”touchmobilerna” lanserades och mobilt internet blev inte bara tillgängligt utan också enkelt och använbart för alla. Idag är en ”smart-phone” i det närmaste obligatorisk i handen på såväl vuxna som ungdomar och kraven på datatakt och åtkomst är höga och ökar när allt fler samtidigt anväFor evaluation of specific antenna arrangements in wireless communication systems we need physical channel models that take into account also the directional domain of the propagation channel. In this thesis we investigate, validate and propose a practical approach to wireless channel modeling and, particularly, to mobile communication systems. For this we make the assumption that the channel can

The main purpose of this study is to assess the impact of environmental conditions on paper-based flexible laminates tendency to curl. Any deviation in flatness may indeed affect materials processability. Two different paper-based flexible laminates are considered: a widely processed heat-sealable yogurt lid (paper / metallized polyethylene terephthalate / heat-sealing lacquer) and a prototype lam

The aim of this study was to increase the knowledge of how school counselors describe what emotions can emerge while interacting with students, how they deal with their emotions when they emerge and the consequences of their emotion regulation. The study is based on semi-structured interviews with eight school counselors in Sweden who have had at least one six-month employment at a school. In our

Det första av mina två syften var att undersöka huruvida det finns en könsrelaterad diskrepans gällande operasångares försörjningsmöjligheter. Jag samlade in empiri om antalet arbetstillfällen per röstfack och könsfördelningen vid operautbildningar, samt genomförde en enkätundersökning om hur tidigare studenter vid Sveriges operahögskolor försörjer sig. Slutsatsen kunde dras att det finns en stor The first of my two purposes was to investigate whether there is a gender disparity in the possibilities to make a living as an opera singer. I collected empirical data on the number of jobs per fach and the gender breakdown of students at opera schools, and conducted a survey on how former students at Sweden's opera schools supported themselves. I concluded that there is a large disparity to

Delningsekonomi är ett växande fenomen i samhället. Kortfattat handlar delningsekonomi om att använda underutnyttjade resurser bättre genom att dela. Att dela ytor kan innebära en mer effektiv användning av befintliga byggnader vilket potentiellt kan minska behovet av nyproduktion. På svenska fastighetsmarknaden finns däremot viss problematik som hindrar en ökad delning av ytor. Problematiken beröThe sharing economy is a growing phenomenon in society. Simply described, the sharing economy is about using underutilized resources better through sharing. Sharing space can mean a more efficient use of existing buildings, which potentially can reduce the need for new buildings. In the Swedish real estate market, there are certain problems that prevent an increased sharing of space. The problems

This study is an attempt to take advantage of a cerebellar model to control a biomimetic arm. Aware that a variety of cerebellar models with different levels of details has been developed, we focused on a high-level model called MOSAIC. This model is thought to be able to describe the cerebellar functionality without getting into the details of the neural circuitry. To understand where this model

The purpose of this study is to examine how administrators and service users at an employment agency in Sweden regard the relationship between them in joint meetings. Furthermore we want to analyse what role the aspect of power plays in the meetings and to what extent service users participate in shaping the way in which the employment agency works. The study is based on a quantitative survey that

One of the leading causes of biodiversity loss and species communities’ alteration is land-use change for agricultural purposes. Land-use may affect pollinators directly or indirectly via the plant communities. A better understanding of plant community and pollinators interactions can be important to comprehend the potential for management to support pollinating insects in different habitats. This

Sverige av gammal tradition ett starkt skydd för tryck- och yttrandefrihet. En viktig del av dessa lagars skyddsområde utgörs av meddelarrätten. Meddelarrätten möjliggör att enskilda personer kan lämna uppgifter för publicering i de grundlagsskyddade medierna i hög utsträckning utan straffansvar eller andra sociala obehag. Med en strikt tillämpning av meddelarrätten kan polisen utlämna sekretessbeSweden has a long and strong tradition of protecting the freedom of press and freedom of expression. One important part of the Freedom of the Press Act constitutes the rules on whistle-blower protection. These rules allow people, even those working in the public service, to leak information to the press without criminal responsibility. The whistle-blower protection is very far reaching and protect

This essay means to examine England and Wales juvenile prisons, how the judicial system and the system for imprisonment are constructed. It also means to clarify the background to this system, as well as what the theory for imprisonment of children is based on. In our essay we use a qualitative method, mostly based on written research, but we also use our own empirical study of Huntercombe Young O

The purpose of this essay was to investigate and compare experiences among youths and personnel at an HVB-home (a smaller institution) when it comes to how the youths’ thoughts about themselves and their future have changed during their stay there. We also wanted to investigate which factors that have contributed to the youths’ positive development and how their stay at the HVB-home has helped the

Objective Although important treatment decisions are made in the Emergency Department (ED), conversations about patients’ goals and values and priorities often do not occur. There is a critical need to improve the frequency of these conversations, so that ED providers can align treatment plans with these goals, values, and priorities.
