På uppdrag av regeringen har Socialstyrelsen utrett var ett nationellt centrum för kunskap om våld och andra övergrepp mot barn, med målet att samla in och förmedla kunskap, ska inrättas. Om regeringen beslutar i enlighet med förslaget kommer kunskapscentret att förläggas vid Linköpings universitet och kallas Barnafrid. Under våren år 2015 kritiserades Sverige av FN:s barnrättskommitté för att aktThe National Board of Health and Welfare has, on behalf of the govern-ment, investigated where to establish a national centre for knowledge about violence and other abuse of children with the aim to collect and pass on knowledge. The board has suggested that the centre should be located at Linköping University and be named Barnafrid. In the spring of 2015 the United Nations Committee on the Rights

In order to suggest improvements for the logistics of STARKA, we felt that we had to analyze all the activities which were related to STARKA's logistic processes. Our primary analysis consisted of a rough but comprehensive description of different functions in the company, and the relationship between them. This was performed by following a typical order through the company to see which functi

The aviation industry is perceived as being unsustainable in the long term due to foreseen continuous growth and the use of finite natural resources. To become more sustainable airlines need to address sustainability in their business model and business strategies. This research explores how the two airline carrier types, Ryanair, an LCC, and Scandinavian Airlines (SAS), an FSC, have addressed sus

I Sverige har ungefär vart tionde barn någon gång blivit utsatt för att bevittna våld mellan sina föräldrar. Våld i nära relationer och barns bevittnande av familjevåld utgör således ett samhällsproblem. Den 1 juli 2021 infördes en ny straffbestämmelse om barnfridsbrott i 4 kap. 3 § BrB. Barnfridsbrottet innebär att det numera är straffbart att utsätta ett barn för att bevittna våld eller andra övIn Sweden, approximately one in ten children has at some point been exposed to witnessing violence between their parents. Domestic violence and children´s witnessing of such can thus be said to constitute a social problem. On July 1, 2021, a new penalty provision of violation of a child´s integrity was introduced into Chapter 4. Section 3. Of the Swedish Criminal Code. The crime means that it is n

Sammanfattning Detta examensarbete kommer att handla om relationen mellan den svenska åklagarmyndigheten och den europeiska åklagarmyndigheten med rättssäkerhet/effektivitet som examensarbetets teoretiska verktyg. En mycket viktig sak som måste påpekas är att den europeiska åklagarmyndigheten ännu ej finns, men EU är mycket angeläget om att inrätta myndigheten. Å ena sidan vill EU inrätta myndigheSummary This bachelor thesis will deal with the relation between the Swedish and the European public prosecutor’s offices with the pair legal security/efficiency as theoretical instruments. A very important thing that has to be pointed out is that the European public prosecutor’s office does not yet exist, although the European union is very eager to set up this authority. On one hand the European

The aim of this study is to examine whether there exists a right of humanitarian intervention in customary international law. The point of departure is the principle of non-use of force in customary international law. The International Court of Justice established in the Nicaragua Case that the principle of non-use of force not only is a jus cogens norm, but that it also has the basic identity of

Problem definition Even though a great deal of research have been done exploring the ERP field, companies still have a hard time determining and obtaining the full potential scope of benefits that comes with a fully working ERP system. Implementing an ERP system is like changing a heart while the patient still is running. It is therefore hard to measure the benefits and the improved efficiencies,

Popular Abstract in Swedish Bröstcancer är den vanligaste cancerformen hos kvinnor i Sverige. Årligen drabbas 7000 kvinnor i Sverige och cirka 1500 kvinnor dör av sin sjukdom. Bröstcancer uppkommer genom ett samspel mellan livsstil, miljö och gener. En kvinna som har en förstagradssläkting (t.ex. syster, mor) med bröstcancer har ungefär dubbelt så stor risk att drabbas av bröstcancer jämfört med eApproximately 7000 women are diagnosed and 1500 women die from breast cancer in Sweden every year. The aim of this thesis was to study the interplay of polymorphisms, hormone levels, lifestyle, and the use of concomitant medication in relation to risk and prognosis in two cohorts: one composed of young healthy women from high-risk breast cancer families and the other of breast cancer patients fro

Background and Purpose-The aim of the Synergium was to devise and prioritize new ways of accelerating progress in reducing the risks, effects, and consequences of stroke. Methods-Preliminary work was performed by 7 working groups of stroke leaders followed by a synergium (a forum for working synergistically together) with approximately 100 additional participants. The resulting draft document had

The background for this thesis is that access to sustainable electricity is part of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals for 2030. In Sub- Saharan Africa, approximately 570 million people lacked access to electricity in 2022. To expand access in rural areas, solar home systems and other off-grid solar products offer affordable and accessible solutions. However, as these systems reach

Background:The case company Atlas Copco has a decentralized organisation where the product responsibility has been delegated to the Product Line Manager located at the production facility. To manage the product portfolio and make strategic and tactical business decisions related to the products, information about product performance and profitability is a key input. Today, the Product Line Manager

The average Swede uses 140 liters of water everyday. This combined with the usage in industry means that Swedish municipal water treatment plants produce approximately 900 billion liters of clean and safe drinking water every year. This does not include the fact that all water flowing to a treatment plant needs to be treated before being sent back out into the environment. These facts hint at what

Education for sustainability (EfS) has been regarded a promising approach for solving sustainability challenges. Results have been unsatisfying due to a knowledge-dissemination focus in the formal sector. Reasons are economic and political interests shaping formal education. Therefore, hopes are placed in the non-formal sector to close this knowledge-to-action gap. In this case study, I aim to und

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate the role of working from home within family friendly work policies (FFWPs) and its relationship to firm performance, and whether this is affected by the choice of management practices within an organization. Methodology: A cross-sectional dataset from 2004, including data from 732 firms and four countries, accessed through World Management Sur

Purpose: To test the diagnostic performance of cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) tissue-tracking (TT) to detect the presence of late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) in patients with a diagnosis of myocardial infarction (MI) or myocarditis (MYO), preserved left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and no visual regional wall motion abnormalities (RWMA). Methods: We selected consecutive CMR studi

Popular Abstract in Swedish Det svenska samhället har förändrats mycket genom invandring under de senaste årtiondena. Många barn i Sverige har idag ett annat modersmål än svenska. De flesta barn tillägnar sig svenska utan problem, medan så inte är fallet för vissa barn. Dessa skillnader har diskuterats, och olika förklaringar till detta har framhållits, till exempel bristfällig exponering för svenThe aim of this thesis was to provide both epidemiological and linguistic data on bilingual children with language impairment (LI), since few data on this group exist. Data from 438 bilingual and monolingual children, referred over a period of 12 months, were compared in the first epidemiological study. The results showed that the bilingual children with suspected LI were referred significantly l

In this thesis, I have studied male and female selective mechanisms that can affect plant reproductive success and gene flow. I have focussed on sexually selected traits, mainly pollen competition and maternal sorting mechanisms, for example through non-random ovule abortion. The main question was; what kind of traits can influence the most successful pollen donor or maternal sorting process? I fo

Popular Abstract in Swedish Faderskap är en familjepolitisk angelägenhet där staten går in och intervenerar och på så sätt fostrar fäder. Tyngdpunkten ligger på att uppmuntra fadersnärvaro och att förmå frånvarande fäder att ta ansvar för sina barn. Detta ger oss en bild av vad som uppfattas som bra fäder och vad som avviker från normen. Den sociala barnavården är en kontext som verkar inom den soThis dissertation deals with fathers of children subjected to child welfare investigations. They are "fathers called into question" and their fatherhood is not very much investigated so far. The dominating picture is that the fathers are absent, to their children as well as in research and social work literature. Two Swedish contexts are presented. These represent different interpretations of "the
