Research indicates that sexuality education may lower the rate of STIs and unplanned pregnancies among youth. Experts also agree that schools are the ideal place to implement sexuality education and that teachers should play a central role in school-based sexuality education. The purpose of this study is therefore to generate new perspectives on teachers’ implementation of sexuality education by e
Senegalese smallholders up to date face high constraints regarding their generation of livelihoods from agriculture. Restricted access to productive resources and participation in finance, input and output markets are root causes for these constraints. While the potential of collective action to address institutional constraints of smallholder agriculture has been widely acknowledged, success sto
This thesis deals with one of the most concerning issues regarding children over the years, child labour. The child labour problem first reached the public attention in 1830s and notwithstanding all the endeavours of the international community to combat the phenomenon, this issue still nowadays remains a matter of concern in both developed and developing countries. The thesis describes the chil
There is a considerable amount of research and literature about success factors of academic spin-offs in general. Some sources describe academic spin-offs in Sweden, which is one of the most innovative societies in the world. More specific sources address certain issues such as academic spin-off creation, finance, performance or other factors influencing spin-off success in regions as Gothenburg,
The main purpose for this study has been to try to investigate which of our emotions that affect and control our motivational behaviour when it comes to helping people in need. Two main hypotheses were formed by the researchers; if people are told to imagine not helping an identified victim they will presume to feel more guilt than they would have done if presuming not helping a statistical victim
Denna studiens syfte var att undersöka upplevelsen av arbetsgivarkontroll hos två vitt skilda arbetsplatser och yrkeskategorier. Semistrukturerade intervjuer genomfördes med tio personer och den insamlade datan bearbetades utifrån en tematisk analys med fyra på förhand bestämda teman: kontroll, inflytande, arbetsglädje och effektivitet. I resultaten framkom både skillnader och likheter i upplevels

Greenland constitutes one of the youngest democracies in the world and is a society characterised by significant social, economic and political inequality. Centuries as a Danish colony have left it with relatively weak institutional structures and with limited tradition for public dialogue. Today, as the country is at the verge of new large-scale industrial developments, calls for increasing publi
Den nya mediemiljön med sociala medier gör det möjligt att konstruera och styra mediebilden av sig själv, men ett ständigt informationsflöde bidrar till en kamp om uppmärksamheten. Det finns flertalet exempel på personer som ständigt figurerar i medierna och som spelar spelet om respekt i offentligheten, men vissa frotterar sig i finrummen medan andra inte gör det. Hur kommer detta sig? Studiens m
En instabil arbetsmarknad med allt högre konkurrens skapar utmaningar för dagens företag att kostnadseffektivisera, vilket har lett till att nedskärning av personal blivit allt vanligare. Hur en nedskärningsprocess gynnar ett företag tenderar bero på en anställds upplevelse av processen som organisatorisk rättvis. Ett orättvist bemötande har visats påverka anställdas beteende och attityd till arbe
The concept of governmentality and the concept of banal nationalism are applied in the study to critically analyze how a European identity is articulated and legitimized within the energy policy presented by the European Commission. Furthermore, the articulated identity is related to the construction of insecurity. In the analyzed material the identity of the EU is portrayed as an effective and in
A study was performed to investigate whether the risk- and vulnerability assessments of Swedish central authorities fulfill its purposes stated in the legislation. This was made by investigating and categorizing the characteristic ways the authorities communicate risks in their RVA:s. A content analysis of ten risk- and vulnerability assessments was performed as well as a participating observation
Mammografiscreening är i dagsläget det främsta sättet att minska dödligheten i bröstcancer. Vid oklara förändringar i bilderna sker en vidare utredning för att säkerställa eller utesluta patologi. Återkallelse kan skapa oro och ångest hos kvinnor eftersom risken för att utredningen kan tyda på bröstcancer. Syftet med denna litteraturstudie var att belysa bakomliggande faktorer som kan ge ökad oro
In this thesis the problem of Structure from Motion (SfM) for uncalibrated and unordered image collections is considered. The proposed framework is an adaptation of the framework for calibrated SfM proposed by Olsson-Enqvist (2011) to the uncalibrated case. Olsson-Enqvist's framework consists of three main steps; pairwise relative rotation estimation, rotation averaging, and geometry estimati
De digitala infödingarna tillhör den population som föddes under den digitala utvecklingen, en population som ständigt är uppkopplad, och som inte skiljer på livet av och på internet. Teknologiska verktyg har blivit en så inkorporerad del av vardagen, att många digitala infödingar förmodligen har svårt att föreställa sig en tillvaro utan tillgång till internet. Tekniska medel är vår ständiga följe
This thesis arises from recent evidence of corporate non-compliance in the German two-tier system. This evidence has raised the question of accountability; what it is and to whom one should be accountable. Therefore this thesis starts out by examining the German system, how it evolved over time and how it functions. It is a system with a long and fascinating history and although it has changed ove
By using Ernesto Laclau and Chantal Mouffe’s discourse theory, the debate about military spending and the state of the Swedish national defence is examined. The material used is newspapers in Sweden and the period of interest is December 2012-May 2013. The discourse that is discernible in the debate is deconstructed by exposing the chain of equivalence that establishes meaning within it. The concl
This thesis concerns the patterns of organization visible within the context that is the Scanian runestones in relation to roads, organized clustering and energy-conservativity. As well as the digital methods increasingly used to analyze such patterns. Using FMIS databases and LIDAR-elevation data it analyses the long, spread out lines of runestones visible in the landscape through GIS spatial-sta
In this thesis we present a method for the calculation of finite volume corrections to the sunset diagram, for arbitrary masses and powers of the propagators. We also present numerical results showing the dependence of these corrections on the volume, which is an exponential decay for large volumes. The results are of high relevance since they can be used in Chiral Perturbation Theory to asses the
