Asylum seekers often find themselves in a situation where the structure and content of daily occupations have been disrupted and they might have limited access to paid work and education. Studies have shown that asylum seekers experience occupational depri- vation and a change in daily occupations which might even influence their identity. Such deprivation can eventually lead to dissatisfaction wi
Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingen behandlar barns flyttningar hemifrån i det förindustriella bondesamhället. Utöver att studera när barn lämnade hemmet kopplas också flyttningsprocessen till den förindustriella hushållsekonomins funktionssätt. Analysen görs på ett longitudinellt material för ett område i västra Skåne under perioden 1829-1866. Individerna följs från födseln, eller från det aThis study deals with the process of children leaving home and its interactions with the household economy in preindustrial society. A theoretical model of leaving home is outlined and then analyzed multivariately, using a longitudinal micro-level dataset for a sample of parishes in western Scania, Sweden, for the period 1829-1866. In a first introductory part the social and economic background as
Popular Abstract in Swedish ”Stat och kommun i makt(o)balans. En studie av flyktingmottagandet.” Denna avhandling handlar om relationen mellan stat och kommun, närmare bestämt i Sverige idag. Dock ses den inte, såsom brukligt, som en hierarkisk relation utan som ett ömsesidigt beroende där staten och kommunerna är beroende av varandra. Detta ömsesidiga beroende kan vara symmetriskt, att båda aktörAlready from the title of this dissertation can two important points be made. The first is that the dissertation is about the relationship between central and local government, more specifically in Sweden today. The second point is that this relationship is seen from a balance of power perspective, where the relative power of the actors is an empirical question rather than derived from a given hie
Popular Abstract in Swedish Syftet med den här avhandlingen har varit att förstå hur grupper av vi och dom skapas och består, framför allt inom utbildning och skola, och särskilt inom gymnasiala Komvux. I vardagligt tal menar människor oftast att dom är invandrare, medan vi är svenskar. Jag har visat att denna uppdelning, som sker nästan automatiskt, är alltför förenklad och svart-vit. Ett undersyThis thesis, set in an educational context (Swedish Komvux, high school adult education), deals with how groups of us and them are constructed, changed and reproduced. In order to understand the processes of us and them I have looked at the interconnections between gender, ethnicity and class utilising participant observations and semi-structured interviews. The main theoretical points of departu
During my time as Director of Studies at the Municipal Music School of Lund, Sweden, I have had several discussions with teachers, students, parents, municipality civil servants, and politicians. I have concluded that in general, culture schools and music schools are looked upon as institutions where parents safely can send their children convinced about that they get a qualified education regardi
High resolution palaeoenvironmental records in Far-Eastern Russia are rare, and the Kamchatka Peninsula is among the least studied areas of the region. This paper describes a record spanning the last ca. 11,000 yr, obtained from a bog in the southern part of Kamchatka. The radiocarbon dated core was analysed for pollen, testate amoebae, charcoal and loss-on-ignition (LOI). The vegetation during th
Norra Djurgårdsstaden är ett stadsutvecklingsområde i nordöstra Stockholm och har delvis marksanerats ned till grundvattennivån. De föroreningar som förekommit är polycykliska aromater, cyanider, tungmetaller och BTEX. 2003 inleddes en omfattande markundersökning varpå man hittade höga halter bensen i ett av grundvattenrören. Undersökningen följdes upp med ett in-situ försök att avlägsna föroreninNorra Djurgårdsstaden is an urban area in northeastern Stockholm and has been soil remediated down to the water table. The contamination in the area includes polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH), cyanide, heavy metals and BTEX.

The Murray Basin is a low-lying but extensive intracratonic depocentre in southeastern Australia, preserving an extraordinary record of Late Neogene sedimentation. New stratigraphic and sedimento-logic data allow the long-term evolution of the basin to be re-evaluated and suggest a significant role for: (1) tectonism in controlling basin evolution, and (2) progressive and step-wise climatic change
This thesis makes a contribution the econometrics of panel data with cross-section dependence (CSD). It consists of five self-contained papers. The most popular approach to account for CSD is to attribute the co-movements of observed variables across entities to unobserved common factors and to estimate these factors via simple cross-section averages of the data. The chapters in this thesis invest
This thesis investigates educational software: computer software applications which serve to support teachers and improve learning outcomes for students. It aims to delineate the field of educational technology research as an interdisciplinary field and exemplify some of the methods used for approaching the many research questions that arise from asking what makes good educational software. The ov
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a chronic degenerative joint disease, linked to age, weight and joint overload. Typical symptoms include joint pain, loss of mobility and joint stiffness. The past two decades the amount of people suffering from OA has increased, and with the current trend of increasing age and weight it is expected to further increase. It is known that knee OA is correlated with the degener
Tidewater glaciers on Svalbard are sensitive indicators of climate change and play a crucial role for Arctic ecosystems. The widespread retreat of tidewater glaciers across Svalbard highlights the need to quantify retreat rates and project when these glaciers will become land-terminating. This study investigates tidewater glacier retreat during historical (1936–1990) and present (2012–2024) period
Statssuveränitet har länge varit en central princip i folkrätten, men dess tolk-ning och tillämpning har varierat stort genom historien: från romarrikets ius gentium till vår moderna folkrätt har många förändringar skett ekonomiskt, politiskt, kulturellt och inte minst rättsligt. En av de mest intressanta tidspe-rioderna i statssuveränitetens utveckling skedde mellan upprättandet av Nat-ionernas FThe principle of state sovereignty has long been a central principle in public international law, but its interpretation and application have varied greatly through history. One of the most interesting time periods for the develop-ment of state sovereignty can be seen between the establishment of the League of Nations and the foundation of the United Nations.

Gut microbiota play a central role in metabolism for example in blood glucose homeostasis and appetite regulation. This thesis provides a prospect of using the bacterium Prevotella copri as a probiotic to help maintain a healthy gut microbiota as many evidences points towards probiotics to have a great potential as preventative agents or therapeutics for type 2 diabetes. In the first part of the tAccording to the World Health Organization (WHO) nearly 8.5% of the global population is affected by metabolic diseases such as type 2 diabetes and obesity which are one of the major causes of death and disability worldwide. This causes a huge financial burden on the healthcare system globally. Therefore, there is an urgent need to prevent, delay and treat these diseases and their debilitating com
Examensarbetet behandlar fenomenet momentreduktion. Reduktionen uppstår då en spontvägg deformeras och krafterna i jorden omfördelas. I arbetet har fyra olika spontdimensioneringsmetoder behandlats som på olika sätt leder till ett dimensionerande moment. Tre av dessa är handberäkningar och den fjärde är en jämförande beräkning som görs i finita elementprogrammet PLAXIS. Två av handberäkningsmetThe thesis deals with the phenomenon of moment reduction. The reduction occurs when a sheet pile wall deforms and forces of the soil are redistributed. Four different methods of designing sheet pile walls are treated that in different ways lead to a design moment. Three out of these design methods are made by hand calculations and the fourth is a comparative assessment carried out in the finite
Alla fastigheter är unika, framförallt i avseendet att de inte är flyttbara och att de investeringar som görs är bestående. Trots de unika karaktärsdrag som följer med en fastighet sker de flesta värderingar med schabloniserade marknadsantaganden baserat på typ av fastighet, läge och värdeår. Följden blir att fastigheter med hållbara och miljövänliga lösningar värderas på samma sätt, och med likarAll real estates are unique, especially based on the fact that they are non-moveable and investments are long lasting. Despite the unique traits of character, most of the valuations are made using average market data, based upon the type of property, the location and the year of value. The consequence of using market standards is that properties with sustainable and environmentally friendly soluti
