Domestic violence is an increasingly common problem in our society. In 2012 there were 28,400 cases reported of assault against women over 18 and almost half of these women reported having been abused by a loved one. In support of these women there is sheltered accommodation around the country, about half of Sweden's municipalities have a shelter for women and these are conducted both municipa

Tillförlitliga modeller för gröna tak kan minska risken för översvämningar I framtidens städer kommer risken för översvämningar att vara större, men gröna tak kan eventuellt bidra till att förhindra dessa problem. För att veta var dessa kan göra störst nytta kan man använda sig av modeller, förutsatt att de ger tillförlitliga resultat. I framtiden kommer allt fler människor att bo i städer, vilkDue to the ongoing urbanisation, the urban environment will consist of extended impervious areas, such as roof tops, roads and parking lots. During rainfall events these kinds of impermeable areas will cause a faster and larger response in runoff, which can lead to an increased load on the storm-water system and thus increase the risk of flooding. In certain areas, the situation will be further wo

Syftet med denna uppsats är att kritiskt granska ändamålen med nämndemän för att ta reda på om dessa är välgrundade. Syftet är vidare att undersöka om några önskvärda förändringar kan göras för att uppnå ett mer ändamålsenligt system. Den rättsdogmatiska metoden har tillämpats för att klargöra för det nuvarande systemet med nämndemän samt om regleringen kring systemet borde förändras. Framförallt The aim of this essay is to critically examine the values of laymen in court to find out if these are justified. Furthermore, the purpose is to see if any desirable changes could be made to achieve a system more conform with the intentions of laymen. The essay has been written through a method that allows legally accepted sources to be used to clarify the Swedish system with laymen and whether the

This study aims to examine social work with people that have experience from selling sex and/or sex trafficking, to show the impact of stigma in social work. The analysis is qualitative and based on semi-structured interviews with six people with experience from social work with this group. Our result showed that social work interventions can be found in three levels: community level, group level

This thesis examines patient involvement in an open psychiatric ward in Denmark. It argues that patient involvement brings forth a contradiction within psychiatric care, where patients gradually learn how to position themselves as cooperative patients. In order for patient involvement to function as a meaningful force for all implicated parties, it demands a joint ground, where psychiatric treatme

Assisterad befruktning är en möjlighet som erbjuds par och ensamstående för att komma tillrätta med ofrivillig barnlöshet. Assisterad befruktning kan genomföras antingen genom insemination eller genom befruktning utanför kroppen. År 2005 fick samkönade par tillgång till assisterad befruktning inom svensk sjukvård på samma villkor som olikkönade par. Det är dock fortfarande ett alternativ att utförAssisted reproduction is an opportunity that is offered to couples and singles to deal with infertility. Assisted reproduction can be carried out either through insemination or through in vitro fertilization. In 2005, same-sex couples got legal access to assisted reproduction within Swedish healthcare on the same terms as opposite-sex couples. However, it is still an option to get the treatment ou

Partiella differentialekvationer är ekvationer som beskriver hur tillstånd förändrar sig. Dessa uppstår naturligt när man modellerar omvärlden, från hur molekyler sprider sig i celler till hur galaxer roterar. Att lösa dessa ekvationer är ofta näst intill omöjligt, och man behöver därför approximera lösningar med hjälp av datorer. Det här arbetet fokuserar på en speciell metod för att approximera This BSc thesis focuses on trying to find approximate solutions to partial differential equations using the Fourier collocation method. This method uses Fourier basis functions to approximate the solution to a partial differential equation with periodic boundary conditions. Using Fourier basis functions, one does not need to use large matrices, which makes all computations relatively fast. Another

Åt skogen med Sveriges sätt att bedriva skogsbruk? - Framtidens klimat kräver anpassning! Vem minns inte stormen Gudrun 2005 eller den extremt varma sommaren 2018? De ökade utsläppen av växthusgaser påverkar vår jord och ändrar förutsättningar som vi idag tar för givet. Klimatet blir varmare och extremväder blir allt vanligare. Skogen vi känner till dag kommer inte vara sig lik i framtiden. SkogeIncreased greenhouse gases in the atmosphere will have an extensive impact on Sweden's forests. These are an important natural resource, and they contribute with socially important functions such as ecosystem services and timber production. The purpose of the study is to synthesize existing knowledge about how climate change affects Swedish forests, which risks are increasing, and what forest

Climate change is affecting societies all over the world. Cities are especially vulnerable to climate change due to their particular features such as high proportion of hard surfaces, high interconnectedness between systems and lack of protection from natural ecosystems. The urban planning processes suit well for implementing climate change adaptation (CCA) measures to protect the cities from the

Emotional Strain - Social Workers Experience of their Psychosocial Working There has been a rise in work-related mental health issues that leave people sick and absent from work. This is especially true for people in social work and in municipal social services with exercise of public authority. The employer has the legal responsibility for a healthy work environment, yet the responsibility for t

This bachelor thesis is based on two American legal cases concerning the issue of abortion. The first one is the case of Roe v. Wade, which grants the woman the constitutional right to terminate her pregnancy. The second one, Beal v. Doe gives the states the right to choose not to finance abortions. This is where I found my problem. Since Roe v. Wade and Doe v. Beal can be said to stand in opposit

Regalskeppet Vasa är ett av världens största marina arkeologiska objekt och det enda välbevarade skeppet från 1600-talet. Det bärgades 1961 efter att ha legat på botten i Stockholms hamn i över 300 år. Tiden under vattnet och tiden på museet har utsatt träet i skeppet för många påfrestningar som har resulterat i en nedbrytning av skeppets trä. I syfte att utveckla metoder för bevarande och konservThe Swedish warship Vasa is one of the largest marine archaeological artefacts in the world. It was salvaged from the bottom of the Baltic Sea after 300 years. During the time spent in the sea as well as in a museum hall, the wood of the Vasa experienced a lot of changes. These changes cause degradation of the wood. Studies of the complex chemical composition of the Vasa have been carried out in o

Hellberg Purpose: The purpose of this study is to better understand how the lead controls and optimizes frontline staff's feelings in different service encounters. To fulfill our purpose we have cho

Vad som händer om någon inte presterar i enlighet med avtalet regleras ofta under rubriken garanti i avtalet. Beroende på hur garantibestämmelsen utformats och på vilket sätt avtalsobjektet avviker från vad som avtalats, kan konsekvensen bli allt från inget ansvar alls, till ett ansvar som innefattar även kompensation för indirekt förlust. Garantiers utformning och omfattning har därför stor ekonoWhat happens if someone does not act according to the contract is often regulated under the title guarantee in (at least Swedish) contracts. Depending on how the guarantee paragraph is written and in what way the object of the contract differ from what is agreed, the consequence might be anything from no responsibility at all or a liability that includes compensation for all losses caused by the b

The honorific prefix is often mistaken for being Bikago, in fact it is not. The honorific prefixes serve two purposes, to show respect and to beautify words and Bikago is the term for the beautified words. It is hard to distinguish when the honorific prefix is used to show respect or to beautify words because it all depends on the context when used. Normally the prefix O- and Go- cannot be used w

One of the biggest expenses for airline companies is the fuel for the aircrafts; preceded only by labor costs it is important for an airline to optimize its use of fuel. One option to save money on fuel is by doing something called Fuel Tankering. Essentially, fuel tankering is a way to lower the fuel cost by refueling at departures where the fuel price is lower than at the destination of the airc

A review of adaptations in fossil and extant mammalian carnivores has been made. Adaptations to different locomotor behaviours can be seen in the postcranial skeleton. Typically cursorial adaptations are long distal limb segments and restrictions in the mobility of the limbs to move in other directions than forward and backward. Diggers have fore limbs constructed for large out-forces. Climbers ha

The aim with this thesis is to investigate the relatively new currency Bitcoin and shed some light over its structure and composition from a macroeconomic point of view. Not a lot of academic work has been published on the subject it is therefore interesting to dive deeper into. By using macroeconomic theory and published academic work I will try to determine if the new digital currency has a chan

This masters thesis presents a development of a software to analyse and evaluate a rotary mechatronic demonstration rig. Most of the hardware existed and the task was to develop software in Excel and PLC Ladder to detect dierences between the different setups in a mechatronic system. The software is supposed to be used for educational purposes on Tetra Pak and should thereby be easy to use and giv

Sustainable development is now a part of environmental, social, and economic agendas all over the world. Sustainability projects are cropping up in urban areas, including projects in the housing sector aimed at sustainable regeneration. Simultaneously, it is now recognized that public participation is an essential character of implementing change. And within sustainability participation, it is con
