As a result of globalization and postmodern confusion, simple place-based identities may be becoming obsolete. Malmö Finns, on the other hand, are part of a thousand-year-old tradition of migration from Finland to Sweden and a long history of in-betweenness. Inspired by phenomenological approaches to geography, this thesis explores the mental landscapes of Malmö Finns and aims to understand how th

Harm reduction as a response to drug problems has long been considered controversial in Sweden, among other countries. The term has therefore rarely been used in official Swedish documents. However, harm reduction in the neighboring country, Denmark, has in contrast to Sweden, not encountered the same degree of resistance. The aim of this study was, based on this difference, along with advances in

Denna uppsats handlar om den politiska idén och ambitionen om att få den svenska landsbygden att leva och växa, genom att hjälpa mindre företag där att utvecklas. Den politiska retoriken om svensk landsbygd, har under lång tid handlat om att få avfolkningen att avstanna och vända. Ändå upplever de svenska landsbygdskommunerna fortfarande avfolkning eller mycket låg tillväxt. Genom kulturanalys av In this thesis I am approaching the idea and political ambition of making the Swedish rural areas come alive. By having the public sector aid small businesses to start up, develop and grow, the idea is to create attraction to rural places. The political rhetorics about Swedish rurality is, and has been for a long time, that the rural needs to be repopulated; and initiatives are taken on a politica

The study considers the phenomenon of double alienation, by which is meant the immigrant’s feeling of in a sense being alienated in their native country as well as in the new one. Those elements of their behaviour which are common in the one country or the other are expected there, whereas those which are not are seen as strange and different. This gives the immigrant a feeling of being at home in

This master thesis project was performed in collaboration with Johnson Matthey. Johnson Matthey is a worldwide company working with sustainable technologies. The site in Perstorp, where this work was performed, focus on formaldehyde production. In order to continuously improve chemical processes, simulation and modeling are advantageous tools. They can give a better understanding of the processes

Fallow, understood as a period where no crop is cultivated during a growing season, is an important crop management practice. Fallow plays an important role in pest and disease management, and monitoring the presence and duration of fallow can have implications for understanding the extent and effectiveness of this agricultural practice. Therefore, fallow period mapping using remotely sensed data

This thesis investigates the role of marijuana use in labor productivity in the United States with the aim to contribute to the discussion and understanding of economic consequences of marijuana legalization. The data is sourced from various federal agencies to create a panel of 50 U.S. states and the District of Columbia for the period of 2005-2017. A panel data model with fixed effects is estima

Pluviala översvämningar inträffar när intensiteten av ett regn överskrider markens förmåga att infiltrera, vilket resulterar i att vattnet istället ansamlas på ytan. Tillräckligt mycket vatten på samma yta leder som bekant till översvämning. Ett typexempel är när korta intensiva regn faller över urbana områden där ytor som asfalt förhindrar infiltrering. Mängden och intensiteten av denna typ av övThe number and impacts of pluvial floods are likely to increase with the growth of our cities and as extreme weather is anticipated to intensify with climate change. Im- proved preparedness is needed which may be attained owing to recent development of high-resolution hydro-meteorological observations and forecasts as well as geographical data. This paper investigates the capacity of the HYPE mode

Climatic condition is what ultimately frames all ecosystems and is now undergoing dramatic change. IPCC models predict, in 100 years, a temperature increase between 2-5 ˚C and, as a consequence of warmer and wetter conditions, increased humic content in northern temperate freshwater systems. To study the impact of increasing temperature and humic content on shallow freshwaters a long-term outdoor

This report describes a bachelor thesis project realized as the final exercise in the Computer Science program at Lunds Tekniska Högskola, Campus Helsingborg. The thesis work was done as an Android app-development project at Telavox in Malmö, a company active in the IP-Telephony business. The purpose of the project was to develop an Android application to be used by the sellers at the company. The

This study treats Swedish university students view on responsibility for human rights that are affected badly by the global trading environment. Human rights can no longer be seen as a local matter between the state and the individual, as globalization, technology and new ways to communicate has given the world tools to both contributing to the violation and the promotion of human rights globally.

I den svenska rätten kan vi i Föräldrabalkens kapitel 1 paragraf 1 utläsa följande: Är vid barns födelse modern gift med en man, ska denne anses som barnets far. Denna bestämmelse om faderskapspresumtion är gällande svensk rätt och huvudregel för hur faderskap i Sverige fastställs. Bestämmelsen härstammar från början från den romerska rätten och uttrycket ”pater est quem nuptiae demonstrant” som äIn “Föräldrabalken” (the Swedish law governing the legal relationship between parent and child) one can read the following: “If, at the time of the birth of a child, the mother is married to a man, this man shall be deemed the father of the child”. This provision of presumption of paternity is the primary rule for how paternity is decided in Sweden. This provision has its origins in Roman law and

Uppsatsen handlar om den rättsliga regleringen kring den småskaliga vat-tenkraften i Sverige. Uppsatsen beskriver därför till stor del det svenska re-gelverket kring småskalig vattenkraft, samt miljöskyddet för miljön och ekologin i anslutning till den småskaliga vattenkraften. På EU-rättens om-råde finns ett antal rättsakter som på ett mer eller mindre omfattande sätt berör den småskaliga vattenkThe essay is about the legal regulation of small-scale hydropower in Swe-den. The essay therefore largely describes the Swedish regulations for small-scale hydropower, as well as environmental protection in general. In the area of European Union law there are a number of legal acts that deal more or less with small-scale hydroelectric power. The regulations are also described. The overall purpose

The aim of this study was to explore sea-level rise (SLR) exposure in South-East England by conducting a broad analysis of some of the possible impacts of inundation in the region under different SLR scenarios in a warming climate. The potential effects of coastal inundation were mapped and quantified by applying a modified bathtub modelling approach in GIS to a low-elevation coastal Digital Terr

Several questions have been raised in light of the several reforms that have greeted the higher education system in Georgia and these questions

Matsvinn är ett enormt miljömässigt, socialt och ekonomiskt problem. För att förebygga matsvinn har EU och FN uppmuntrat matvaruaffärer att donera ätbara livsmedel, som de av någon anledning inte vill sälja, istället för att slänga dem. Livsmedelslagstiftningen ställer dock till med problem. Särskilt den otydliga regleringen på området, ansvarsregler och skattebestämmelser avskräcker företag fråFood waste is a significant environmental, social and economic problem. In order to prevent food waste, both the EU and UN have encouraged grocery stores to donate rather than waste edible foodstuffs that are unable to be sold. However, the foodstuff legislation causes problems. Especially the ambiguous regulations, liability legislation and tax legislation discourage companies from donating foo

Uppsatsen syftar till att undersöka i vilken utsträckning en arbetsgivare kan bestämma vad en arbetstagare ska ha på sig på arbetsplatsen utan att inskränka på den anställdas skydd mot att bli diskriminerad. Fokus ligger på att bena ut vad som ryms under begreppet arbetsledningsrätt när det gäller arbetstagarens utseende på jobbet samt vilka begränsningar som finns i denna fråga.
