Relevant translation methods will be presented, as well

Sverige har sedan länge ansetts vara ett land befriat från svågerpolitik och korruption. Korruption är dock ett vitt begrepp som härstammar från det latinska ordet corrumpere, vilket betyder muta. Följaktligen omfattas den straffrättsliga terminologin av givande och tagande av muta av begreppet korruption. Korruption anses vara ett medel för att otillbörligen påverka besluts- och handlingsprocesseSweden has long been considered a country free from nepotism and corruption. Corruption is however a broad term which derives from the Latin word corrumpere, meaning bribe. Consequently the criminal terminology of giving and receiving bribes comprises the concept of corruption. Corruption is a way to improperly influence the decision making and processes in a society.

The inquiry into strengthened school libraries was submitted to the Swedish Minister of Education at the same time as I started to write my thesis. It states the importance of school libraries and calls for an enhanced role of school libraries in education. The Swedish library act and the Swedish school library act calls for equal access to education for all students in Swedish schools. I examine

Sättet som världen presenterar sig för våra sinnesorgan är genom en kontinuerlig ström av information, men vår upplevelse av den är uppdelad i diskreta händelser. Enligt eventsegmenteringsteorin är den här segmenteringen en inbyggd och automatisk del av mänsklig kognition. Omfattande forskning ger inte bara stöd åt den här teorin utan tyder också på att sättet vi delar upp händelser påverkar vårt The world presents itself to our sense organs as a continuous stream of input, yet we appear to conceive experiences in terms of discrete events. According to event segmentation theory, this segmentation is an intrinsic and automatic component of human cognition. A considerable body of research provides evidence for this claim and suggests further that the way we segment events has consequences fo

Uganda’s development-based refugee model is widely recognised as the most progressive in the world by the international community. The model has however come under solid pressure owing to the COVID-19 pandemic, and food insecurity among refugees in the country has become a major problem. This study examines how the pandemic has affected urban and settlement-based refugees’ food security with a par

It is becoming increasingly common for corporations to seek impact in society alongside profit and it is often argued that corporations should collaborate with startups. By collaborating with impact accelerators, intermediary organisations that support impact startups, corporations can gain access to innovation whilst having a positive impact on society and the environment. The purpose of this s

Dynamiska utrymningssystem har potential att öka säkerheten för utrymmande personer. Utvecklingen av dynamiska utrymningssystem kommer av ett behov för mer avancerade utrymningssystem eftersom det idag byggs mer komplexa byggnader i samhället. Tidigare forskning om dynamiska utrymningssystem har inte behandlat hur dynamiska utrymningssystem påverkar riskperceptionen hos utrymmande personer. Med riThe aim of this study is to examine how dynamic way-finding systems affect risk perception for evacuating people. This was done by examining how perceived risk, choice of exit and emotional factors were affected in an evacuation experiment performed in Virtual Reality. Two scenarios were created for the experiments, one with a dynamic way-finding system and one with a static evacuation system. Thi

Farligt gods definieras som ett ämne eller föremål som på grund av dess beskaffenheter kan orsaka skada på person, egendom och miljö, exempelvis bensin, gasol och svavelsyra. Farligt gods transporteras på vägar genom hela landet för att möjliggöra industriprocesser eller andra samhällsnyttiga funktioner. För att garantera att bebyggelse intill dessa vägar inte är utsatta för oacceptabla risker genRisk assessment regarding transportation of hazardous material is a central decision support in urban planning close transportation routes for hazardous material in Sweden. Risk assessment regarding transportation of hazardous is also uncertain and can give various results. In order to highlight this a comparative study is made to describe the differences in risk assessments both regarding impleme

Under international law, a government of a state is entitled to the sovereign right to invite another state to intervene militarily on its territory. This type of consensual use of military force is an exception to the rules on prohibition of use of force among states, and unlawfulness is precluded through such governmental consent. The extent to which a government is entitled to invite has been d

Europe is struggling to reduce its CO2 emissions and to fulfil commitments made according to Kyoto protocol. At the same time, Europe does not possess enough fossil energy resources to cover its needs and thus consumption of imported fossil fuels is growing, placing threats upon economic stability. In order to combat these challenges, renewable energy sources and biomass in particular are expected

In today’s city branding field, a gap exists between research and practice. A gap made more evident since the field has moved to prefer a participative approach, where stakeholders are more acknowledged as an important part of the city branding process, illustrating the little knowledge of stakeholders’ own practices. This study undertakes a mission of moving forward in the research field by shedd

In developed countries, due among others to increasingpressures coming from climate change and population growth, the wastewater treatment isaffected and needs to adapt to such changes. As a result, effluent requirements arebecoming more stringent, nutrients and organic remo

Choosing the right discrete-event simulation (DES) software is a challenging and important task. Given the announcement that sales and support of AFRY’s primary DES software, AutoMod, will be discontinued by December 31, 2026, and the lack of a recent review of the current market offerings, it is a essential for AFRY to explore new alternatives. The aim of the thesis is to help AFRY analyze and se

With Latvia being one of the many countries in the world experiencing low fertility rates and having a below-replacement-level birth rate for decades, fertility decline has become a central concern for policymakers. This thesis examines how low fertility is framed and addressed in Latvian demographic policy documents. By using an inductive, qualitative case study approach and utilizing Carol Bacch

I denna rapport redovisas populationstrender för 228 svenska fågelarter för olika långa tidsperioder. Vi visar också korttidstrender för 12 arter av större däggdjur. Fåglarna har räknats höst, vinter, vår och sommar enligt strikt standardiserade metoder. Sommar- respektive vinterpunktrutter har räknats sedan 1975, i huvudsak i södra Sverige. Standardrutterna räknas också på sommaren (sedan1996) meWe present the results of the Swedish Bird Survey, run by the Department of Biology, Lund University, as a part of the National Monitoring Programme of the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency. The results for 2020 include data from: 564 winter point counts in 2019/2020 (45th winter), of which 274 were carried out during the Christmas/New Year count, 210 summer point count routes (46th year) an
