Los Bambues is a low socioeconomic status (SES) barrio tucked away in the municipality of Giron, in the Metropolitan area of Bucaramanga, Colombia. This study observes a case of nineteen adolescents from the barrio, who are members of a youth program, in order to learn more about their career aspirations and who or what enables those aspirations. It discovers that family ties play the largest enab
SCA Packaging, as a provider of transport packaging, wants further knowledge of the logistics processes a corrugated board box undergoes. This thesis describes the development, the theory and the trial of a method for modelling logistic processes. The method is based on a break down of the packaging process, and analysis of the resulting components. The packaging process in its entirety is the ma
The Emissions Trading Scheme represents a new departure in the field of environmental policy-making in the EU. With it, the EU has deployed a market-based instrument to meet its Kyoto Carbon Dioxide emissions reduction commitments. This paper will account for its emergence as a concrete policy output. It will first refer to the historical, ideational and interest-based logics which shaped its emer
During the last 10 years there has been a constantly increasing demand for micro products and components. The market demand smaller, more functional and better products. The main industries that trigger this demand are the electro-mechanical products. Problem with manufacturing these micro components has occurred with use of conventionally machines. Micro products often demands special working env
This thesis is concerned with investigating the Roma, a group that is left out in most of the territory bound theories. The theoretical purposes are to develop theories that increase the understanding for the Roma as a diasporic nation without state and the advocacy networks they are organised in. The main empirical purpose has been to study two organisations as cases and how they position themsel
The purpose of this essay was to inquire how workplace conflicts are managed at a number of public social services offices in south-western Skåne. This essay's main research questions were: What organizational factors determine how conflicts arise and are managed in a work environment? To what extent are such factors prevalent at the above-mentioned social services offices? Are certain conflic
Uppsatsens primära syfte är att besvara vad som avses med begreppet penninglån. Subsidiära frågeställningar som besvaras är när en transaktion innebär en överträdelse av det generella låneförbudet. Låneförbudet innebär i huvudregel att ett aktiebolag inte får lämna penninglån till aktieägare, styrelseledamöter och andra som ingår i ”den förbjudna kretsen”. En stor del i bedömningen av vad som utgöThe primary aim of the paper is to answer what is meant by the concept of money lending. Secondary questions to be answered are when a transaction constitutes a violation of the general prohibition of lending. As a general rule, the prohibition on lending means that a limited liability company may not make loans of money to shareholders, directors and others who are part of the "prohibited ci
Utvecklingen som skett i Sverige de senaste decennierna, där vi har gått från industrisamhälle till kunskapssamhälle, från hierarki till platta organisationer och från maskin till hjärna har medfört ett ökat behov av skydd för arbetsgivare. Större ansvar, närmre relation med kunder samt indirekt kontroll från ledning och styrelse har vidgat arbetstagares utrymme i arbetslivet till att bl a fatta vSweden’s business-market has change a lot during the recent decades, where the society have gone from being industrialbased to knowledgebased, where organizations has gone from hierarchy to “flat” and now we use brains instead of machines. This has led to an increasing need of protection for employers. Greater responsibility, closer customer relationships and indirect control from management has e
This report is dealing with time dependent settlements calculated with numerical methods and subsequent comparisons with field measurements. The numerical computations in this report have been performed using Plaxis, a two-dimensional numerical program based on the finite element method. Plaxis is very practical for solving complex geotechnical problems involving settlements or slope stability.
This master thesis work consists of the development of new hardware and software for the control box of an azimuthal guidance system used by aircrafts during the approach to the runway. The thesis work was done at Safegate International AB as a project running along the usual development projects. When designing electronics to be used on an airfield there are a lot of regulations and standards t
Quality Indicators: Help or hinder? - The study examines the National Board of Health and Welfare's construction of quality in women's shelters in relation to women's safety and security. The study is based on the quality indicators developed by the National Board of Health and Welfare on behalf of the government. The National Board of Health and Welfare is an authority in Sweden with
Idén till det här examensarbetet föddes när vi tillsammans tillbringade en termin i London för snart tre år sedan. Vi bodde nära Hackney City Farm, en stadsbondgård i östra London. Ett stenkast från bullrande vägar och röda dubbeldäckare fanns får, kor, getter, åsnor, höns och grisar mitt i stan. Vi blev berörda och fascinerade av närheten mellan djur och människa i en urban miljö. I vårt examensInitially the idea for this thesis was born when we spent a semester together in London about three years ago. We lived close to Hackney City Farm, in the heart of eastern London. Within a stone’s throw from noisy roads and red double-deckers there were sheep, cows, goats, hens and pigs right in the middle of the city. We were fascinated and inspired by the closeness of animals and humans in a ver
Forest ecosystems provide a wide range of services necessary for maintaining environmental health and human well-being. Ecosystem models help inform how various management strategies respond in different regions to changing climate conditions. They contribute to mitigation and adaptation policy measures and support private forest owners in deciding ideal practices to implement. The complex nature
The master thesis was carried out for Sandvik SRP in cooperation with the division of Production and Materials Engineering at the Faculty of Engineering at Lund University. This thesis is part of a larger research project with the title ”Blyfria kopparlegeringar” funded by Vinnova within SIO Produktion 2030. Lead-free bearing-materials, which could be used to replace the current bear-ing-material
Reasoning with limited computational resources (such as time or memory) is an important problem, in particular in knowledge-intensive embedded systems. Classical logic is usually considered inappropriate for this purpose as no guarantees regarding deadlines can be made. One of the moreinteresting approaches to address this problem is built around the concept of active logics. Although a step in th
In Sweden today, power production with bioenergy systems is more costly than with fossil energy systems. New technology under development, such as integrated gasification and combined cycle technology (IGCC), and reduced biomass costs would improve the competitiveness of bioenergy systems. The CO2 mitigation costs are lower for biomass systems using IGCC technology than for natural gas systems usi
We have compared the total microbial biomass and the fungal/bacterial ratio estimated using substrate-induced respiration (SIR) in combination with the selective inhibition technique and using the phospholipid fatty acid (PLFA) technique in a pH gradient (3.0-7.2) consisting of 53 mature broad-leaved forest soils. A fungal/bacterial biomass index using the PLFA technique was calculated using the P
Climate change has affected the extreme weather throughout the world. Studies have shown an increase of the extreme precipitation in Gothenburg, Sweden. At the same time, space limitations and cost considerations prevent the development of an optimized drainage system. Designing a stormwater system for an extreme rainfall is impossible due the high cost. In addition, the lack of space limits the a
The Swedish Migration Board is the authority who has the main responsibility to provide housing for asylum seekers. Housing which the migration board provides is called ABO. The purpose of this thesis is to examine how the people working with ABO perceive their different areas of responsibility and implementation of the Swedish laws and goals set up for one specific ABO. This will be done with a q
