Second homes, or summer cottages, are widely spread all over Finland. It is estimated that half of the country´s population have an access to one or several second homes. The phenomenon constitutes a remarkable part of how Finns spend their leisure time. Whereas traditional way of life attracts middle aged and retired urban dwellers to return to their roots, increasing number of second home users

This study examines the thoughts and expectations of social work students regarding their future career. In order to investigate this, a questionnaire was handed out to social work students (N=203) attending their final semester of the social work program (socionomprogrammet) at Göteborgs universitet, Högskolan i Jönköping, Högskolan i Kristianstad, Linnéuniversitetet and Malmö Högskola. The quest

Although Sweden collects and sorts a large share of plastic waste, a significant part of the separately collected plastic packaging waste is being incinerated and only 8 % of the plastic waste is being recycled into new products. As plastic is the main cause of greenhouse gas emissions from waste incineration, a systematic shift is needed to decrease incineration. Currently, Chemical recycling (CR

This thesis presents a numerical study of the emission of jets by a trapped Bose-Einstein Condensate (BEC). The Gross-Pitaevskii equation is used for the simulation of this phenomenon. When the scattering length of a trapped BEC is periodically modulated it emits jets of matter. We study how the pattern of these emitted jets changes when a BEC is trapped in a circular trap, an equilateral triangul

This thesis considers an investigation into the possibilities of creating a reasonably accurate multiscale material model for paperboard, with geometry based on X-ray scans of small paperboard samples. The modeling takes place in the software Multiscale Designer by Altair Engineering Inc. A representative volume element (RVE) is used to capture the X-ray geometry and represent macroscopic mechanic

This thesis discusses organizational communication in Sweden following a scandal. The communication is based on the period after the scandal has gained attention. The communication 2 is divided into formal and informal communication based on whether the organization or a third party controlled the channel of communication. The communication is analyzed through cases and takes into consideration th

Straffreduktioner vid flerfaldig brottslighet och straffskärpningar vid återfall reglerar båda situationen då en person gjort sig skyldig till flera brott. Skillnaden är att vid straffreduktioner behandlas brotten inom ramen för samma rättegång och vid återfallet har ett eller flera brott först behandlats vid en rättegång och efter verkställandet av det straffet begås ett nytt brott som behandlas A ”penal reduction” in the case of multiple criminality and more severe sanctions due to a relapse into crime both regulates the case when a person has committed multiple crimes. The difference between the two regulations is that in the case of ”penal reductions”, the crimes are covered during the same trial, while in the case of a relapse, the convict has first been sentenced during one trial and

The aim of this project is to design a solution to a payment system for people that have a diagnosis of intellectual disorder. This target group has problems with today’s payment system because it becomes successively more digital. With the digital solutions will the target group be excluded. I have been thinking of the question “What would happen if cash was removed as a payment system?”. I have

The purpose of this project is to investigate the performance of a spectrometer capable of measuring both momentum and spin of particles. More specifically, we investigated what parameters are required in order to separate particles with opposite spins at least 1 mm. This project can serve as the first step in the process of building such a spectrometer. This spectrometer takes the core principle

The aim of this thesis is to examine the professionals’ views on young offenders and responsibility for the target group. We have chosen to interview social workers who work within the public sector and have direct contact with young offenders. Discursive psychology was used to analyse our empirical material in order to highlight the interpretative repertoires permeating through the professionals’

The film medium has a very large potential to convey thoughts about history to the public. Previous studies of historical film have focused on analyzing the films. The purpose of this master’s thesis is instead to find patterns in the effect the historical elements have on the films' narrative, as well as how they value history. To achieve this, two sub-questions have been formulated. • Do th

En god informationsgivning är en förutsättning för en välfungerande och effektiv värdepappersmarknad. Utan tillgång till fullständig och relevant information kan marknadens aktörer inte göra en korrekt värdering av potentiella investeringar, vilket kan skada allmänhetens förtroende för marknaden och minska intresset av att investera på densamma. Den aktiemarknadsrättsliga regleringen ställer därföThe disclosure of information is a prerequisite for a well-functioning and efficient financial market. Without access to complete and relevant information, market participants will not be able to properly evaluate potential investments. This could in turn damage public confidence in the market and reduce the interest in investing in it. The stock market law regulation therefore places strict deman

Abstract The European union experience sometimes difficulties in advancing its work due to the member states? different ambitions and interests. The budget is one common tool that the member states can use in order to implement different policies according to their preferences. A large share of the budget is presently tied up in the CAP, the common agricultural policy. This share could be spent i

Despite the growing efforts by international and national actors to combat trafficking in human beings, the slavery of our time is flourishing. Among the victims of trafficking, children are especially vulnerable, as they completely dependent on adults for livelihood and rights. In the contemporary debate few studies treat trafficking as a problem in its own right. This study aims to correct this

In southern Siberia there is a culture of throat singing, a singing technique where a person can create two different and clearly audible tones at the same time. This throat singing phenomenon has flowed from the Tuvan republic in Russia out into the entire world. Persons of different ethnic ori­gins sing and teach throat singing to persons from all kinds of nations, thus all kinds of persons come

The development of a security policy for Europe has been a long and arduous process, which bore fruit first at the end of the 20th century. What are the drivers behind this remarkable endeavour aimed at creating a policy regarding the defense of the European Union? This thesis sets out to examine the effect of events on the shaping of the European Security and Defense Policy (ESDP), basing its the

The threat of change and the loss it can incur creates the need to preserve a detailed version of the past. Elizabeth Gaskell's Cranford can be interpreted as a piece looking backwards as a means of looking forward; acknowledging and commemorating the existence of a rich and detailed past allows for the closing of its chapters, and thus eventual movement into a new future. In this paper I will

This examination work presents a proposition of a conceptual design of a demographic database for CIDS in Nicaragua. Furthermore, an implementation of this database is described. Finally a description of a method to transfer data from the current database to the new is given, together with a smaller implementation. CIDS – Center of Investigation of Demography and Health is located in Nicaragua, Le

Westinghouse Electric Sweden AB has for the production of Optima 3, decided to replace the existing welding equipment with a new laser-welding process, to weld the spacer that keeps the fuel rods in place at the fuel box. The author wrote this master thesis for the department of Mechanical construction, MKON within the Faculty of Engineering of Lunds University. The goal was to examine Westinghous
