The terror organization ISIS is using brutal sexual violence in their warfare, targeting women and children in Iraq and Syria. In 2015, more than 5000 women of the Yazidi minority were kidnapped and sold into sex slavery. The aim with this thesis is to answer the research question “How does ISIS benefit from using sexual violence?”, by using the three indicators “good economy”, “motivation to fi

In order to study and evaluate the care provided at the Intensive Care Unit (ICU), an accurate model to assess severity of illness and predict patient mortality based on admission data is required. Since 1983, the Simplified Acute Physiology Score (SAPS) based on logistic regression (LR) has become one of the international standards for this purpose and is used in Sweden for adults. While being a
Den här uppsatsen syftar till att analysera det svenska rättsläget avseende arbetsvägran och när arbetsgivare, utifrån de analyserade grunderna, kan avsluta en anställning genom uppsägning eller avsked. I såväl doktrin som praxis görs en uppdelning mellan specifik och allmän arbetsvägran. Specifik arbetsvägran kan leda till uppsägning medan allmän arbetsvägran kan leda till avsked. ArbetsdomstolThe purpose of this essay is to analyse the Swedish legal situation regarding refusal to work and when employers can terminate an employment through notice of termination or dismissal based on analysed reasons. In both doctrine and case law a distinction is made between specific and general refusal. Specific refusal can lead to termination of notice, while general refusal can lead to dismissal. T
Tillgången till rent dricksvatten varierar mellan olika delar i världen. Till exempel är grundvat- ten en stor resurs i Sverige där det står för 50 % av dricksvattnet, både artificiellt och naturligt bildat. Den siffran är endast 6 % i Moçambique och med tanke på att 47 % av populationen i landet saknar rent dricksvatten kan artifici- ell grundvattenbildning vara ett bra alternativ. Det finns olikThe amount of clean drinking water varies across different parts of the world. For example is groundwa- ter a big resource in Sweden and stands for 50% of the drinking water, both artificially and naturally recharged. The corresponding fraction is only about 6% in Mozambique and considering that 47% of the population in Mozam- bique lacks clean drinking water artificial recharge might be a good op
This thesis investigates what kind of inequality the world is concerned about today and compares traditional and new measures of inequality to see how these measures relate to current views on fairness and justice. The analysis is based on different theories of justice and measurement princi- ples, and the relationship between each measure and the theory is investigated. Latin America and the
The older people of tomorrow, today in an age between 50 and 64 years, are a key group at the Swedish housing market. This group are soon becoming one fifth of the Swedish population and the share of retired are going to increase with 22 percent (374 000 persons) among a ten-year period. Their choice of dwelling for the future will have great effects on the housing market. For the older caseload t
The purpose of this thesis is to examine how social workers perceive the concept of knowledge within social services, particularly within children and youth services. Our goal is also to study the employer's expectations and demands on graduate social workers. The main questions we address in this thesis are; What knowledge is seen as useful by employers and graduate social workers working in
This work originated from that Gambro had a problem with their intensive care dialysis machine, Prismaflex™. The blood tube leading from the machine back to the patient had in some cases creased and stopped the blood flow. Gambro thought that a new or modified warmer holder would prevent this from happening and wanted me to develop this holder. The warmer device heats the blood to body temperature
This report aims to present a fire safety evaluation of Ward 043, Children & Youth, at Centralsjukhuset in Kristianstad. Based upon information acquired during a visit to the hospital on February the 8th, 2010, a number of analyses were carried out to assess the current fire safety. Fire- and evacuation simulations, along-side an index-method were the most important tools used in the evaluatio
Detailed abundance analysis of 41 F and G type dwarf stars located in the solar neighborhood are presented. The stellar sample was selected to have kinematics intermediate between the Galactic thin and thick discs. The stars have been observed with the NOT telescope at La Palma, Spain in March 2006 and the ESO 2.2 m telescope at La Silla, Chile between October 1, 2004 and March 31, 2005. Abundance
Arrays of silicon nanowires (Si NW) may be used in the development of implantable drug delivery systems. Here, we performed short-and long-term cultures of mouse retinal cells on substrates consisting of high aspect ratio Si NW, which confers high porosity to the surface. As controls, cells were grown on flat silicon substrates. The cell phenotype was assessed using immunocytochemistry, fluorescen
Photosensitizers for sensitized triplet-triplet annihilation upconversion (sTTA-UC) often rely on precious heavy metals, whereas coordination complexes based on abundant first-row transition metals are less common. This is mainly because long-lived triplet excited states are more difficult to obtain for 3d metals, particularly when the d-subshell is only partially filled. Here, we report the first
Dabbling ducks (Anas spp.) are important migratory quarry species, protected as a shared resource under international legislation. However, there is a lack of sufficient high-quality data on vital demographic rates and long-term trends in numbers to judge the conservation status of many duck populations at the flyway level. In response to reported declines in the North-West European flyway populat
The ability to tune the photon absorptance spectrum is an attracting way of tailoring the response of devices like photodetectors and solar cells. Here, we measure the reflectance spectra of InP substrates patterned with arrays of vertically standing InP nanowires. Using the reflectance spectra, we calculate and analyze the corresponding absorptance spectra of the nanowires. We show that we can tu

When landscape changes due to urbanization and agriculture wild nature must adapt and find new spots to colonize. A golf course is one example of such an area. In Scania many golf courses are situated on old agricultural fields, where they can contain more biodiversity than the fields they replace. In this study I mapped potential habitats for different species of flora and fauna at Kvarnby golf c
Biodiversity is a big part of the understanding of our life and its surroundings. Only a fraction of the earth’s species are known and many are yet to be found. When describing new species often both molecular and morphological data is needed to fully resolve cryptic taxa. In this study, the diversity of two Diptera families, soldier flies (Stratiomyidae) and thick-headed flies (Conopidae), have b
Today's security cameras typically capture either color images based on visible light or grayscale images based on both visible and near-infrared (NIR) light. This means that the performance is limited in situations where it is unclear which kind of image to capture. At dusk, for example, the visible light may not be sufficient to capture good-quality color images. On the other hand, capturing
