The aim of this work is to study present Rwandan social identities. The aim is made operational by posing the question; how are group identities produced and reproduced in Rwanda? In order to answer this the study uses the bourdieuesian notion of habitus, incorporated products of history that are active principles for unification of practices and representations, as the analytical concept of socia
For many applications a fracture is a disaster, leading to failure of the application and thus its usefulness. However, when it comes to the opening of a food and beverage package, fracture is a necessity. At Tetra Pak, food and beverage packages are produced to make food safe and available everywhere. Today, many of the packages include polymer parts, such as the opening of the packages. In the
This report is a master thesis conducted at Division of Product Development, Department of Design Sciences, Faculty of Engineering LTH, Lund University. Two new polymer materials, Capa™ and Akestra™, were proven to be suitable candidates for two 3D printing technologies. The two technologies were selective laser sintering (SLS) and fused deposition modeling (FDM). Sintratec Kit and UP 3D, two comm
The aim of this study was to examine how death and mourning is portrayed in children’s books used in social work. A selection of five books, all written relatively recently and originating from Western European countries, was made based on advice from a hospital library, an important resource for medical social workers. These books were analyzed using content analysis, where we searched for themes
In today’s modern city planning are the so-called detailed development plans used for deciding how a specific area is supposed to be used and for what purpose. A problem which is occurring from time to time, is that some detailed development plans are not coming up as it was thought they would. Often it is seen that areas have more dwelling, parking space and in some cases big super markets than w
This research explores the processes of articulation between indigenous-ancestral knowledge practices of childbirth and the biomedical logic that articulates the field of medicine and state interventions. It unravels the question of: how do government policies in Ecuador construct the discourse around the dynamics between traditional-indigenous childbirth and biomedical interventions, and what imp
Under den Svekonorvegiska orogenesen omkristalliserade stora delar av sydvästra Sverige och bildade metamorfa migmatitiska gnejser. I Idefjordenterrängen, väster om Mylonitzonen, har migmatiterna inte daterats och då kunskapen om de metamorfa processerna i området brister kan migmatiterna ge en bättre bild av när metamorfosen skedde. En migmatitisk gnejs från Delsjöområdet i östra Göteborg har dat
Den här uppsatsens syfte är att reda ut och redogöra för hur straffmätningen kring livsstraffet vid mord går till i Sverige och Danmark. Uppsatsen har skrivits ur ett komparativt synsätt i syfte att jämföra länderna och således också analysera likheter och skillnader. Livstidsstraff kan i teorin dömas ut för ett antal grova brott i både Danmark och Sverige men döms i praktiken nästan enbart ut i The aim of this essay is to untangle and explain the meting out of punishment-process regarding the life imprisonment sentence for murder in Sweden and Denmark. The essay is written mainly from a comparative standpoint to enable analyzing similarities and differences between the countries. Life imprisonment is statutory for a number of crimes, however it is almost exclusively applied to murder cas
Floods are expected to increase around the world due to climate change, and Scania is especially vulnerable with its elongated coastline and lack of postglacial rebound. Spatial planning has a key role in adapting to these changes and coping with the consequences. This report aims to map out challenges when dealing with flooding in the field of spatial planning in already developed areas and to pr
Korruption handlar om att på ett otillbörligt sätt påverka beslutsprocesser i samhället för egen eller annans vinning. Denna uppsats behandlar mutor ur ett civilrättsligt perspektiv. Bakom varje fullbordad muttransaktion mellan en givare och en tagare föreligger ett mutavtal. Denna muta kan i sig ha påverkat uppkomsten av ett annat avtal, huvudavtalet, som i sig inte är en muta men som inte hade kCorruption is about unduly influencing the decision making processes in society for one´s own or somebody else´s gain. This paper deals with bribery from a private law perspective. Behind each completed bribe transaction between a transmitter and a receiver there is an agreement. This bribe itself may have influenced the emergence of another contract, the main contract, which had not been establis
Hydraulic models can be used to predict the consequences of flooding events. In this project, three hydraulic models were constructed using the software HEC-RAS, and compared through a case study on Höje river catchment. The models include (i) a 1-dimensional (1D) model, where river and floodplain flow is modeled in 1D, (ii) a coupled 1D-2D model, where river flow is modeled in 1D and floodplain f
Samvetsfrihet är en skyddad rättighet enligt Europakonventionen, men inte enligt svensk rätt vilket skapar en viss diskrepans i hur frågan handlas av domstolarna. Denna samvetsfrihet aktualiseras bland annat inom abortvården då vårdgivare av religiösa skäl inte vill delta i abortvård. Vidare finns en rätt till legal abort, lagstadgad i Sverige, men något otydligare i Europarätten. Denna rättighet The right to concentious objections is protected under the European convention, though not in Swedish national law, which creates a discrepancy in how the question is handled by the courts. Concentious objection is actualised in abortion care, when a care giver does not want to participate because of religious reason. Furthermore there is a legal right to abortions in Sweden, though somewhat more
An increasing number of organisations are purchasing culture measurement solutions without reflecting on how ‘measurement’ mirrors organisational reality. This is because the dominant perspective of culture measurement caters to managers and claims to deliver absolute readings. Concurrently, constructivist scholars have often neglected the potential for culture surveys to act as interpretative str
Thesis Purpose: The purpose of this study is to increase the knowledge and understanding surrounding changes in loyalty programs. The aim is to further examine how a change in loyalty programs affects customer expectations and loyalty. The study also intends to shed some light on how retailers might handle a change in a loyalty program whilst keeping their customers satisfied. Methodology: This s
Diskussionen om skärpta straff för våldsbrott har ökat i Sverige under de senaste åren, och det har i den kriminalpolitiska debatten förekommit utspel om att den danska modellen bör tjäna som förebild för svensk kriminalpolitik. Försvårande omständigheter vid bedömning av brottets straffvärde ger domstolen möjlighet att öka straffvärdet i vissa fall. Uppsatsen syftar därför till att undersöka hur The discussion regarding increased penalties for crimes of violence has grown in Sweden in recent years. There have been outbursts within the Swedish criminal policy debate calling for Sweden to model their criminal politics after neighboring Denmark’s model. The presence of aggravating circumstances provides the court with a possibility to increase the penal value of a crime if certain circumstan
The task of Automated Essay Scoring (AES) has been active for more than half a century, starting with handcrafting statistical features used for linear regression, and currently being improved by the latest advancements in machine learning and natural language processing. Most current research uses some form of character or word embeddings to represent the essays rather than statistical features,
Staters immunitet framför nationella domstolar är en central folkrättslig princip som är starkt förankrad i statssuveräniteten. Immuniteten, som utgör en inskränkning i staters jurisdiktion, brukar legitimeras med hänvisning till den latinska frasen par in parem non habet imperium - mellan två likar har ingendera av dem myndighet över den andra. Tidigare i höstas skapade antagandet av en amerikanA state’s right to immunity in foreign domestic courts is a fundamental principle of international law with strong ties to the concept of sovereignty. The argument for the concept of immunity, which does entail an infringement on states jurisdictional rights, is usually derived from the Latin maxim par in parem non habet imperium – an equal has no power over an equal. Earlier this fall the enactme
To keep up with the rapidly increasing global population, a significant increase in production of protein foods is required. The environmental impact of the meat industry, in combination with consumer awareness, calls for this food production to become more sustainable. One solution is development of meat analogues, which are meat-like texturized products based on vegetable proteins. In this proj
I arbetet med att utforma och lagstifta om tvångsmedel vägs intresset av att utreda brott mot intresset av rättssäkerhet. Under de senaste decennierna har flertalet reformer antagits inom straffprocessens område som inneburit utvidgade befogenheter för de brottsbekämpande myndigheterna. Dessa reformer har skett på bekostnad av de enskilda i form av rättighetsinskränkningar. En lagändring år 2006 gIn the legislative process the state’s interest in an efficient crime control is balanced against the individual’s right to personal integrity. The last few decades, a number of reforms regarding criminal procedures has been implemented, granting law enforcement more powers at the expense of the individual’s personal integrity. A change in the law in 2006, made it possible in certain cases for law
