This thesis deals with the vital issue of empowerment in development work and development projects, a multimillion dollar enterprise which engages donors,governmental agencies and governments. More specifically the thesis deals with a development intervention in education as social policy in Uruguay, investigated as a case study. The methodological intention is to present the voices of the subject

Throughout the pursuit of environmental sustainability, the attention placed on governments’ responsibility to reduce environmental degradation has progressively decreased and rather, began focusing on the attitudes and behaviours of individuals. Overtime, this increasing attention placed on the individual highlighted the central role which citizens have in creating and pushing for a sustainable s

The question of borders in regional planning have gained increased interest in recent developments of human geography. In the four corners of the region Scania, there are four different sub-regional organisations that work towards intermunicipal cooperation and development centred on a core growth engine. But how do these sub-regions relate to and affect the borders that surround them? To answer t

The importance of well-being has gained wide-spread recognition within entrepreneurial research and at the same time entrepreneurial coach relationships have received more attention in academia. There is however, a lack of understanding on the influence of coaches on the well-being of entrepreneurs. This study seeks to contribute to academic literature by focusing on the subject of accelerator coa

Abstract In modern anti-money laundering operations, data analysis plays a vital role. One method of detecting fraudulent data is Benford’s law, which predicts the distribution of the first significant digits in logarithmically distributed data. Deviation from Benford’s law in data where it should be present might indicate manipulated data. We investigate the Chi2 and Kolmogorov-Smirnov tests’ pr

This study analyses the representation of Monarchy and Republic in Dante’s Divine Comedy. The starting point is the puzzling fact that Dante places Bruto and Cassius in the deepest pit of Hell but makes Cato the custodian of Mount Purgatory, bound for everlasting glory in Paradise at the Day of Judgement, even though all three of them were on the same side in the war against Julius Ceasar at the e

This study explores metabolic responses of germinating barley seeds upon the application of pulsed electric fields (PEE). Malting barley seeds were steeped in aerated water for 24 h and PEF-treated at varying voltages (0 (control), 110, 160, 240, 320, 400 and 480 V). The seeds were then allowed to finish germination in saturated air. It is shown that exposure of germinating barley to PEE affects r

This article highlights the semantic and socio-political meaning of the 'field' as it is used in both academic research and policy practices: as a geographic and material space related to forms of intervention in International Relations (IR), and not as a disciplinary space. We argue that the notion of the field' carries colonial baggage in terms of denoting 'backwardness' and conflictual practice

A Danish Swedish collaboration was established to identify and classify a Danish cohort of patients with epidermolytic ichthyosis, also known as epidermolytic hyperkeratosis. Patients were recruited from 5 dermatology departments in Denmark, and data were obtained using a structured questionnaire and a systematic examination together with photographs, histopathological descriptions and blood sampl

Five intersecting resistivity sections have been measured in glaciofluvial deposits hosting an aquifer of regional importance situated along a heavy traffic highway in Sweden. The winter salt spreading has caused a regular salinity increase through the years. For imaging the transport of saltwater in the aquifer, the sections were measured exactly in the same location before and after winter, and

Syftet med denna litteraturstudie var att undersöka kvinnans fysiska och psykiska reaktioner vid ovarialcancer och dess behandling samt sjuksköterskans stödjande roll. Metoden var en litteraturstudie där tio vetenskapliga artiklar granskades utifrån detta syfte. Det visade sig att ovarialcancer påverkade kvinnan både fysiskt och psykiskt. Några vanliga reaktioner hos kvinnan var trötthet, smärta,

Sjuksköterskan har en viktig roll i den postoperativa smärtbehandlingen. För att säkra kvaliteten i omvårdnaden är dokumentation av smärta och smärtbehandling av avgörande betydelse. Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka hur sjuksköterskor på två ortopediska vårdavdelningar enligt omvårdnadsjournalerna följer upp ortopediska patienters postoperativa smärta och smärtbehandling. Metoden byggde p

För sjuksköterskor som kommer i kontakt med patienters sexualitet innebär attityder och kulturellt nedärvda traditioner oftast att patientens integritet utifrån allmänmänskliga rättigheter inte uppfylls. Syftet med denna litteraturstudie var att undersöka sjuksköterskans attityder och uppfattningar om patienters sexualitet. Resultatet visade hur bl a kunskap och demografiska faktorer såsom religio
