För att beviljas asyl måste queera asylsökande inför myndigheterna bevisa att de verkligen är queera. Om de inte gör det avslås deras ansökan som icke trovärdig och de riskerar att utvisas till sina ursprungsländer. I denna avhandling utforskar jag, genom möten med beslutsfattare, jurister, asylsökande och flyktingar, den affektiva produktionen av (o)trovärdig queerness inom det grekiska asylsysteTo be granted asylum, queer applicants must prove to the examining authorities that they are genuinely queer. Otherwise, their claims are rejected as non-credible, placing them at risk of deportation. In this thesis, I explore the affective production of (in)credible queerness in the Greek asylum apparatus. Through encounters with decision-makers, lawyers, asylum seekers, and refugees, I discuss t

This dissertation deals with the transferability of an evidence-based treatment method from one cultural context to another, with Multisystemic Therapy (MST) in Sweden as an example. The primary research question is whether the evidence-based treatment intervention MST can be transferred from the US to Sweden with retained treatment effects. This thesis is organized around four separate but interr

Popular Abstract in Swedish Under 1990-talet har många kommunala verksamheter ställts inför ökade kostnader av äldre- och handikappomsorgen och flera organisatoriska förändringar har genomförts. Nya problem och dess lösningar beskrivs ofta förlagda till chef- och ledarskapsområdet. Chefer och ledare inom offentlig verksamhet har under de senaste åren tillskrivits en nästan magisk betydelse för verDuring the 1990s many of the local authorities have been forced to reduce expenditure on the care of the elderly and people with disabilities, and many organisational changes have been carried out. New problems and their solutions are often related to leadership and management. This dissertation deals with three trends in the development of the organisation: The first trend is a market orientation

Avhandlingen belyser mötet mellan de konstnärliga och pedagogiska dimensionerna i lärares pedagogiska arbete. Genom att undersöka lärares erfarenheter av musikalproduktion i skolan avser studien att fördjupa kunskapen om det professionella lärararbetet som grundar sig i lärares pedagogiska och konstnärliga utövande och praktiska kunskap. Studien tar sin utgångspunkt i en musikalproducerande verksaThe present thesis examines the meeting between the artistic and the pedagogical dimensions in the work of teachers. The main aim is to describe the learning in practice, emerging from a collective creative process. The point of departure is teachers' experience of a musical-production as part of the pedagogical work in school. Research questions are: 1) What are the implications of being a teach

Modern IC-engines produce more power per displaced volume and operate at higher combustion pressures and temperatures. In addition, engine structure materials such as aluminium and magnesium alloys, which are more sensitive to thermal loads, are more commonly used. These two parameters might lead to problems such as thermal fatigue, knock, high fuel consumption and emissions, performance loss, bor

Popular Abstract in Swedish Denna avhandling är en sammanläggningsavhandling som består av fyra artiklar inom arbetsmarknadsområdet. Den första artikeln behandlar en personalförstärkning till arbetsförmedlingen. Metoden har bestått i att jämföra tre arbetsförmedlingskontor som erhållit stora personalförstärkningar med tre kontor som inte fått någon personalförstärkning alls. Resultaten tyder på atThis thesis results from four research projects. The issues addressed in the projects are different types of labour market information problems. The purpose of the first article is to contribute to a better empirical under- standning of how an increase of staff at the Public Employment Service affects job seekers. In 1987, the Swedish Government decided to grant the Labour Market Administration ex

Given the rapidly increasing number of women above 50 it is of pivotal importance to consider health issues related to gonadal hormone deficiency. The possibility of alleviating such symptoms by hormone replacement therapy (HRT) should be recognized by all physicians, not merely by gynaecologists. But which women should be given what therapy, and for how long? Due to the increased risk of endometr

Popular Abstract in Swedish Denna doktorsavhandling presenterar resultaten från ett forskningsprojekt inriktat mot arkitektonisk utformning i det industriella byggandet. Arbetet har inledningsvis fram till licentiat bedrivits inom ramen för ett nationellt forskningsprogram inriktat mot industriellt träbyggande, Lean Wood Engineering. Ansatsen i detta forskningsarbete har emellertid varit att förutThe thesis presents the results from a research project targeting architectural design and house-building in a setting of industrialized design process and product platforms. During the early stages of a traditional design process, architects manage a degree of problem complexity, besides technical aspects, also includes user function, material, environment, aesthetics etc. As a result of the des

Ethnic discrimination, like most other socially pathological practices, does not yield itself easily to legal regulation. On the one hand, it is often difficult to amass evidence and present proof of the unlawful nature of many practices, which are experienced as discriminatory by some citizens. On the other hand, the law is far from the exact, logically coherent, impartial, independent, and effec

Over the past years, natural catastrophes have disrupted society: the tsunami in December 2004, hurricane Katrina in the Gulf of Mexico, the earthquakes in Pakistan in 2005, causing massive material destruction and human suffering. In addition, technological accidents in transport, energy and process industry undermine the public faith in risk management, while the uncontrolled spreading of diseas

Popular Abstract in Swedish I stormaktstidens Sverige utgavs en fornsaga där den mytiske svenske kungen Vilkinus ligger med havsfrun. Under denna tid kunde vanliga människor som påstod sig ha sådana förbindelser dock råka illa ut. År 1630 förhördes pigan Anna Larsdotter, som misstänktes ha fött näckens monstruösa avkomma. ”Trollkarlen” Peder Jönsson avrättades tio år senare för könsumgänge och pakThis dissertation examines conceptions of erotic nature spirits and their association with demonic sexuality in 17th and 18th century Sweden. Its purpose is to reconstruct the various cultural and symbolic meanings which such notions had for the society of the day. Cultural history and the analytical concepts culture(s), liminality and figures of thought provide the general framework of the study.

Background: In most clubfoot studies, the outcome instruments used are designed to evaluate classification or long-term cross-sectional results. Variables deal mainly with factors on body function/structure level. Wide scorings intervals and total sum scores increase the risk that important changes and information are not detected. Studies of the reliability, validity and responsiveness of these i

1. The survey has mainly concentrated on the following items: the false alarm problem, the problem of the fire not being detected due to the fact that pre-fire heating and ventilation dominate flow inside the compartment, a description of detector sensitivity to fire signatures. engineering design methods for the siting of detectors. 2. The statistical as well as practical experience suggests that

We compare assimilation and respiration rates, and water use strategies in four divergent ecosystems located in cold-continental central Siberia and in semi-arid southern Africa. These seemingly unrelated systems have in common a harsh and highly seasonal environment with a very sharp transition between the dormant and the active season, with vegetation facing dry air and soil conditions for at le

På Siciliens östkust strax söder om Syrakusa, ligger ett långsmalt naturområde som följer kusten längs halvön Maddalenas sydspets ut till udden Capo Murro di Porco. Det är en obebyggd kustremsa sånär som på en fyrbyggnad med två angränsande stenhus. Naturen domineras av det klippiga landskapet och de tre byggnaderna som kommit att smälta in i omgivningen. I detta arbete, som är en fallstudie som Capo Murro di Porco is situated in a narrow natural area that runs along the coast of the peninsula of Maddalena, just south of Syracuse on the east coast of Sicily. It is an area of stunning nature with dramatic topography, steep cliff sides and sparse vegetation. On the very line marking the transition from low vegetation to bare rock on the horn of the peninsula, a lighthouse and two rugged low

I domstolar avgörs per idag flertalet mål genom avtalstolkning. Hur avtals-tolkning rättsligen ska klassificeras har under längre tid varit föremål för diskussion i doktrin. Något enhetligt svar på hur avtalstolkning som verksamhet ska klassificeras finns emellertid inte än idag. Förevarande uppsats ämnar undersöka huruvida HD har en mer långtgående rätt att beakta tolkningsdata än vad HD har att This thesis examines whether the Supreme Court of Sweden ex officio has a right to consider interpretation data to a higher degree than the court has in terms of evidentiary facts. In an action amenable to out-of-court settlement, it is up to the parties to set the limits of the trial. This means that the parties decide which information the court has the right to base its decision on. Some except

En arbetsplats kan av olika skäl råka ut för en tillfällig nedgång i behovet av arbetskraft. Ett sätt att bemöta detta har traditionellt varit att tillgripa permitteringar. Permittering kan förekomma vid både tillsvidare- och visstidsanställda, men historiskt sett har det oftast rört sig om timanställda. Permitteringar förekommer i princip enbart på arbetarområdet. Med begreppet permittering menasA workplace can due to various reasons, experience a temporary decline in the demand for labor. One way to address this has traditionally been resorting to layoffs. Layoffs may occur in both permanent and fixed-term employments, but historically it has often been a matter of hourly employees. The term layoff means that an employer has the opportunity to temporary layoff employees, or due to some o

En grundläggande målsättning i svensk rätt är att barnets bästa ska sättas i främsta rummet och det ska alltid ske utifrån barnets individuella förhållan-den. Umgänge bedöms som utgångspunkt vara bra för barnet. Barn har rätt och behov av att träffa båda sina föräldrar och umgänge ska ske under trygga former. Genom att analysera och kombinera det som anses vara bra för barnet, barnets vilja, barneA basic aim in swedish law is the ”best for the child” always should be giv-en first priority from an individual child perspective. Parental visitation rights are assessed according to what is best for the child. Children have right and also need to see both their parents under safe and secure forms. Through an analysis of what is reasonably good for the child, the child’s own will and need, the b

Traditionally, the underground problems have been handled in the topic geotechnical engineering. Within geotechnical engineering FEM has in recent years begun to be used to solve problems in the soil mechanics. The soil mechanical relations are also applicable to the superstructure materials. The usage of the same tools on the entire road structure increases the chances to catch the degradation of
