The aim of this study was to describe and analyze the view on gender in drug treatment and how it manifests in the treatment. We have made a qualitative study with interviews. We have done interviews at different treatment centres, with a social worker and two scientists. In our interviews we focused on choice of treatment and gender. Our key questions were: · What do previous studies show about m

The Criminal Code describes rape as an obvious involuntarily. It has been proven to be a problem in the Swedish judiciary to suggest that rape victims often receive degrading questions and a censure treatment. This study has focused on how the encounter between the police and rape victims is like. The purpose of it was to get a picture of how both police and victims are experiencing the encounter.

With machine control engineering vehicles can be controlled by one or several measuring instruments like total station, GPS or plane laser. Machine control are today used on mainly large infrastructure projects where the advantages are; reduced field measurements, increased effectiveness and precision. Can machine control also be used on small projects and have the same advantages compared to larg

This thesis presents a psychosocial theory of human action, meant to explain man’s reaction to different social orders and help to understand how to create a better society. When man becomes an individual, he experiences an unbearable separetedness from the world and from himself. This creates a longing for reunion, that can be carried out in a love relation with another human or through action, w

Det pågår en ständig debatt om hur man skall komma till bukt med världssvälten. Lösning efter lösning presenteras, den ena mer tekniskt avancerad än den andra. Dock, att 1,3 miljarder ton mat slängs varje år i världen, vilket motsvarar ungefär en tredjedel av den mat som produceras, tyder på att det finns åtgärder att ta till som kräver varken förädlade grödor eller ett effektivare lantbruk. Det sUnnecessary food waste in Sweden is approximately 1,2 billion kilograms each year and this has consequences for both the environment and resources. The purpose of this project is to investigate if it is possible to reduce the unnecessary food waste, by selling cured meat products to a lower price in supermarkets, after the expired date but at the same time take people’s health into account.

Den här studien undersöker källor och effekt av kortsiktiga miljöförändringar genom studier av sedimentärt organiskt material (OM) i Gullmarsfjorden. En sedimentsekvens (sedimentationshastighet 0.7 cm år-1) från den djupaste delen av fjorden analyserades i hög upplösning med flera olika geokemiska metoder applicerat på OM med fokus på komposition av biomarkörer. Fördelningen av n-alkener uppvisadeIn this study I will assess sources and effects of short-term environmental changes on the sedimentary organic matter in Gullmar Fjord. To achieve this, a high resolution sediment core (sedimentation rate 0.7 cm yr -1) was retrieved from the deepest part in the fjord and analyzed with multiple geochemical methods, targeting bulk organic matter and biomarker composition. The distribution of n-alkan

One of the key skills of any scientist is noticing what’s going on. Both in the experiment one’s performing and in one’s data: is there something interesting, reason to doubt one’s data or suspect that one’s theoretical description is insufficient? Many experiments developed for undergraduate teaching still focus on quantitative evaluation. Here we take a different approach where careful observati

Once surface active colloids, such as microgels, adsorb to an interface, they modify the viscoelastic properties of the interface. In contrast to what happens in bulk, the elastic properties have a non-monotonic dependence on the generalized area fraction. In this study, we describe this phenomena by performing molecular dynamic simulations of effective pair potentials in two dimensions. Our poten

The purpose of this thesis is to illustrate the purpose structure of company law and stock market law, and the various arguments for interpretation that apply when applying the law in these areas. This is done through the analysis provided the contributions in the second part of the thesis (Part II) of a number of illustrative central corporate law and stock market law issues, and through the the

Line segments are powerful features complementary to points. They offer structural cues, robust to drastic viewpoint and illumination changes, and can be present even in texture-less areas. However, describing and matching them is more challenging compared to points due to partial occlusions, lack of texture, or repetitiveness. This paper introduces a new matching paradigm, where points, lines, an

This paper extends Engle's LM test for ARCH affects to multivariate cases. The size and power properties of this multivariate test for ARCH effects in VAR models are investigated based on asymptotic and bootstrap distributions. Using the asymptotic distribution, deviations of actual size from nominal size do not appear to be very excessive. Nevertheless, there is a tendency for the actual size to

Previous research suggests a pattern of gaze avoidance in East Asian compared with Western cultures. Yet, recent eye-tracking studies of face-to-face conversation do not corroborate this. More generally, differences in nonverbal communication and analytic versus holistic strategies have been described between East Asian and Western cultures. Using wearable eye-tracking technology and an automated

The purpose of this essay was to analyze the collapse of democracy in the Weimar Republic. This was done by analyzing some of the most turbulent crises in its history like the communists attempt to take power in 1919, the kapp-putsch of 1920, hyperinflation 1923 and the economic depression 1929-1933. The method that I used in this essay is called methodological individualism. It was an analytical

COMPANIES: Pågen AB, SAS Airline, Öresundskraft AB PURPOSE: The purpose of this master thesis was to investigate the phenomenon of internal branding, with the aim of creating a process model to be used as guidance by companies when implementing an internal branding strategy in the organisation. METHOD: To carry out our research, we performed a theoretical as well as an empirical study. The empiric

Taking a performance perspective of entrepreneurship as the point of departure, the social action of entrepreneurship is examined through an interactionist lens. In particular, it applies the micro-sociology of interactionism of Erving Goffman as expounded in his seminal essays ‘On Face-Work’ and ‘The Nature of Deference and Demeanour’. The paper explores entrepreneurship through a case study of a

During recent years, time domain reflectometry (TDR) has proved to be a valuable tool for both water content (theta) and bulk electrical conductivity (sigma (a)) measurements. To allow resident solute concentration (C-r) measurements, a calibration procedure is necessary for the relationship between sigma (a) and C-r. Two main calibration approaches exist. Direct calibration allows for C-r measure

This paper presents an assessment framework for methodologies under development. It is adapted from the evaluation framework for the design of an engineering model developed by Ben Ahmed and colleagues [1]. The assessment framework allows to take into account in a systematic way characteristics (that is, main categories or classes of potential requirements) that are of importance for the assessmen

Innovation is an interactive learning process that is facilitated naturally by geographic proximity. Innovation intermediaries can serve as an extra catalyst to and facilitator of interaction and collaboration. With today’s more globalized knowledge and innovation landscape, companies and research organizations seek complementary competencies and partners with whom they can collaborate on a much b
