In March this year, 2017, the Swedish government launched a new national crime prevention program. This program and available statistics indicate a need for more work to be done in the field of crime prevention in Sweden. Therefore, this essay examines this field, narrowed down to focus on juvenile and situational delinquency. The situational aspect of the delinquency is based on the Routine activ
This thesis in the field of sociology of law examines the legal consciousness of unaccompanied asylum seeking minors. Taking inspiration from Ewick & Silbey (1998) the theoretical concept of legal consciousness, I trace the presence of law in the community of the unaccompanied minors in Denmark. Unaccompanied asylum-seeking minors are recognized as a particularly vulnerable group due to their
With today’s consumption trends it has become important to use resources more efficient and work towards a more circular economy. Municipalities may do so by using a re-use system for furniture, which means that they can mediate their furniture via an IT software and re-use them within the organization. It is also possible to connect services to the system, e.g. reparation and transportation servi
Nicaragua has a geothermal potential of 1519 MW (CNE 2001) due to its volcano chain created by the tectonic activity between the Cocos plate and the Caribbean plate. The Ministry of Energy and Mines in Nicaragua has the ambition to have 91% of Nicaraguas energy consumption from renewables energy for 2027 where geothermal energy will constitute 22%. In June 2016 an earthquake of magnitude 6.1 occur
Kommuner har stora kostnader för sitt planarbete, vilka idag täcks på olika sätt. Lagstiftningen ger kommuner rätt att ta ut planavgift från de fastighetsägare vars fastigheter får nytta av planarbetet genom att bygglov ges i enlighet med planen. Planavgift kan tas ut i förskott, vilket har gett en kommunal praxis där så kallade plankostnadsavtal tecknas med den som ansöker om planläggning. ExamMunicipalities have large costs for their work with detailed development plans and area regulations. These planning costs are funded in different ways. Legislation permits municipalities to charge property owners for the planning costs of a certain plan, if the properties benefit from the plan by receiving building permits. Municipalities can charge a fee of planning when the building permits are
This paper investigates nonlinear transmissions between financial stress, monetary policy and the business cycle. Using a threshold VAR model on Swedish quarterly data the presence of nonlinearities in aforementioned transmission is corroborated by the nonlinearity-test suggested by Hansen (1996). Further, a nonlinear impulse-response analysis reveals several results worthwhile mentioning; (i) sho
Det politiska styrelseskickets inverkan på länders ekonomiska tillväxt har undersökts kvantitativt med paneldata för perioden 1960-2014. Som demokratimått användes det index som tillhandahålls av Polity IV. Analysen grundades i ett antal teoretiska resonemang kring hur politiska styrelseskick kan tänkas påverka tillväxt. Med förväntad livslängd, humankapital, befolkningstillväxt, investeringar och
Statistical arbitrage is widely used in the quantitative based trading strategies. In this paper, we mainly use Ornstein-Uhlenbeck (O-U) process model and the GARCH model to estimate the parameters and verify trading signals for the statistical arbitrage. In addition, a new model is created through the combination of O-U model and GARCH model. To estimate the models, HuangXia Bank and Industrial B
During the last three decades, the number of NGOs within the educational field in India has increased dramatically due to the Indian government struggling with providing free quality education. NGOs in India have been praised for their contribution to development, but also criticized for inefficiency and lack of accountability. This case study provides an empirical example of a NGO called Mother M
The European Unions (EU) policies’ regarding animal welfare is a complex topic to analyze in its influence on the EU Member States. There are countless studies on its implementation and influence on the countries within the EU. These studies highlight the complexity in adopting joint animal welfare legislation in countries that has different economic, political and cultural incentives. This resear
The fouling of an ultrafiltration plant, separating bleach plant effluent coming from a sulfite pulp mill, was evaluated depending on the pH value of the feed stream for both softwood and hardwood. The objective was to decrease the dosage of the alkaline substance NaOH in the first bleaching stage, without altering the performance of the ultrafiltration. Incoming feed streams, as well as permeate
By using the site-selectivity enabled by synchrotron radiation, we can choose the ionization site on a molecule. Core-ionization can result in that the molecule dissociates into charged (and uncharged) ions. With mass spectroscopy, the dissociated fragments’ mass-over-charge can be identified in a time-of-flight spectrum. Pyridine dissociation was studied for pyridine and for pyridine mixed with p
Bakgrund: På operationsavdelningen är patientsäkerhetsarbetet extra viktigt då patienten där vårdas i en högteknologisk miljö vilket gör att det ställs höga krav på dess utformning och innehåll. Arbetsdräkt, steril operationsrock, sterila handskar och specialutformad mössa som döljer allt hår är grundläggande riktlinjer för klädkoden som krävs i sterilt arbete på en operationsavdelning i Sverige.
Kristianstadsbassängen är ett område i nordöstra Skåne med sedimentära avlagringar från kritaperioden. Avlagringarna har avsatts i marin miljö genom upprepade transgressioner av havsytan, vilket har resulterat i en kalksten som bland annat utgörs av fossil från den fauna som en gång i tiden existerade. Ullstorp är en lokal i Kristianstadsbassängen och fungerar i dagsläget som ett aktivt kalkbrott.
There are 774 million people in the world today who are illiterate, two thirds of those people are women. Worst affected are the countries in the Sub Saharan Africa. The low level of education and the injustice in which children that are entitled to go to school is expected to have consequences on economic growth. The aim of this study is to describe the effect of equality in education on GDP grow
Landskrona has for a long time had problems with high concentrations of Pb and other heavy metals in the air. Measurements investigating the content of airborne particles have been performed in 1977, 1988, 2003 and 2008 and show an influence from heavy industries, traffic in town and transboundary pollution. To investigate the air quality in terms of heavy metals in Landskrona today, the metal con
Eutrophication continues to be a problem in the freshwaters in Scania of southern Sweden, much due to urban waste water and the large amount of agricultural land in the region. In order to combat this, many different measures have been made to lower the nutrient loading by the region's different water organisations, including the creation of wetlands, ponds and two-step trenches. This study wa
In an attempt to bridge the gap between active and passive investing, Smart Beta strategies have become a popular alternative for investors given their systematic, rules-based approach to portfolio construction and historical tendency to capture market inefficiencies. In this thesis, we examine the performance of Smart Beta strategies versus the S&P 500 and the Euro Stoxx 600 index for time pe
Crowdfunding has rapidly gained popularity over the last decade and now accounts for tens of billions of dollars annually. Although the general public mainly perceives crowdfunding as an alternative means of getting funding, it has been demonstrated that there is a number of motives that entrepreneurs may have when launching a campaign on a crowdfunding platform. Despite that, little scholarly res
Stress är ett utbrett problem och i takt med detta har även behovet av kroppsburen teknik som mäter stress blivit aktuellt. Detta är dock en relativt ny teknik och således kraven för att det ska bli accepterat är ännu osäkert. Därför undersöktes vilka faktorer som påverkar acceptansen av kroppsburen teknik som mäter stress. Författarna har genom en kvantitativ online enkätundersökning undersökt ac
