Repatriation has been proclaimed as the important right of an individual to go back home and returnees are often seen as substantial force for development and reconstruction of their home countries. It is assumed that once the reasons that force people to flee are eliminated, people will want to return back. There is a separate repatriation program in Sweden that aims to support those who decide t
Anorexia Nervosa (AN) är en allvarlig sjukdom med orsaksförklaringar som varierat genom historien. Studier om familjer med en anorektisk medlem ger inga belägg för en konsistent bild. Behandling av vuxna saknar empiriskt stöd och ökad kunskap behövs om unga vuxna. Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka reliabiliteten i familjerelationsskalan (FARS) samt hur det korrelerar med instrument för int
The present study looked at beliefs/attitudes towards and effects of dreams, in a larger, primarily non-student, adult sample (N=667). On one side, findings supported previous research in that women were more approving towards dreams, they recalled more dreams, read dream literature more often, speculated more frequently about their dreams, and finally shared dreams more often than men. It was als
The aim of the paper is to illustrate the role of commodity price fluctuations in business cycles in three countries - the United Kingdom, the United States and Sweden. The study examines data between 1993 (Q3) – 2011(Q2). The countries in this paper represent differences in economic structure – Sweden is primarily an economy characterized by the manufacturing of goods, the United Kingdom represen
We chose to write this essay on how the social services were illustrated and how it was reviewed in the media after the two cases in the municipality of Mark and Sandviken. These cases were brought to attention by Uppdrag granskning, the Swedish TV program, in two different coverages. Moreover, we have emanating from articles, blogs, and chat room conversations and gathered what people have writte
I denna uppsats har vi undersökt hur Greenpeace Norden som ideell miljöorgani-sation uttrycker sig i text för att påverka opinionen i kärnkraftsfrågan efter kärn-kraftsolyckan i Fukushima Daiichi. Vi har genomfört en kritisk diskursanalys på texter som publicerats från det datum olyckan ägde rum och ett år framåt i tiden. Sammanlagt har vi analyserat två debattartiklar, fem artiklar, sex pressmeddIn this Bachelor thesis we have analyzed how Greenpeace Nordic, as a non-profit organization, express themselves in written language to influence and shape the public opinion on nuclear energy after the nuclear accident in Fukushima Daiichi. We have analyzed texts published on the organizations website from the time of the accident to a year after, using a critical discourse analysis. We have anal
Uppsatsen behandlar, utifrån ett animal studies-perspektiv, den normalitetsförändring som sker mellan människan och noshörningen i Eugène Ionescos absurda drama Rhinocéros.
The use of conditional cash transfers (CCTs) as means of combating poverty has increased considerably the past decade. CCTs are safety net programs that transfer cash to targeted poor households, often to the mothers, on the condition that those households make pre-specified investments in the human capital of their children. The conditions are often criticised because the conditions only applies
The question of which discount rate to choose when it comes to calculating costs and benefits regarding climate change has been discussed among economists since at least the beginning of the 1990’s. However, the issue of which discount rate to choose is not just an academic question, it also has major implications for climate change policy. In this paper I will show that there exists large disagre
There has been significant growth in proprietary trading in recent years and it constitutes a major part of the traded volume in the financial markets. I have analyzed differences in the volume and volatility of Standard & Poor’s 500 index, before and after the announcement of the Volcker Rule. I have also looked into how the biggest investment banks have been affected according to their marke
The paper investigates the effect of interest rate announcements on stock returns and trading volume from two view-points: aggregate level and industrial level. We apply two models and two test methods in both the short and the long event window to examine the investors’ reactions to interest rate announcements of the State Bank of Vietnam. The results show that the market index rarely responds to
Föreliggande uppsats handlar om svenska myndigheters erkännande av förvaltningsbeslut i form av utbildnings- och yrkesexamina från andra medlemsländer i EU. Det svenska medlemskapet i EU har medfört att medborgare från andra länder väljer att etablera sig i Sverige. På samma sätt väljer svenska medborgare att etablera sig i andra EU-länder - där de exempelvis erhåller akademiska eller yrkesmässig
In Sweden today, the participation in children’s activities of the Church of Sweden is increasing, also in relation to the size of the age groups. The number of members in the Church of Sweden is decreasing, as well as participation in baptism and confirmation. Considering these facts the main question of this studie is: Why choose children’s activities arranged by the Church of Sweden today? With
Som en del av ett forskningsprojekt om vattentransport i den kapillära zonen söktes verktyg för att kunna följa infiltrationsvattentransport genom olika marklager. Med detta examensarbete utvärderardes resistivitetundersökningars lämplighet för att följa infiltrationsvatten. Grundpremissen vilade på Terrameterns – resistivitetsinstrumentets - förmåga att detektera infiltrationsvattnets rörelsemönsAs a part of a research project investigating water movement in the capillary fringe subsurface layer, a method for tracking the transport of infiltrating water through different ground layers was sought. This thesis consists of a field evaluation of resistivity surveys as a method of following subsurface water transport. The method rests on the Terrameter’s – the resistivity instrument’s – abilit
Detta projektarbete tar upp barnets tryggbas - script i kontext till deras relation till föräldrarna. Secure Base Script Test (SBST) och barnets beskrivande relation till föräldrarna i Friends and family Interview (FFI), samt Kerns trygghetsskala (KSS) användes som undersökningsmetoder. Projektet studerade korrelationen mellan indikationen av en trygg bas genom barnens berättelser i SBST (tryggbas

Method: A population-based longitudinal birth cohort study with 2666 children recruited from 2007 to 2008 in south-western Sweden. At visits to the child health centre, parents were asked to complete a questi
We have reacted to the lack of museological studies about exhibitions of the Classical world, especially considering how the relationship between ancient Greek and Roman culture and the traditional Western ‘fine arts’ might have affected curators’ and visitors’ experiences and expectations of them. The aim of this study is therefore to investigate and analyse which values and narratives the produc
Uppsatsen studerar företags hantering av råvarurisk ur två olika perspektiv. I uppsatsens första del undersöks företags motiv för att agera på råvarumarknaderna genom djupgående intervjuer av särskilt utvalda företag. Resultat från intervjuerna indikerar att råvarors inflations- och diversifieringsegenskaper är båda starka incitament bakom investerares intresse att handla med råvaror. Uppfattninge
Internationellt har begreppet "gå på pengarna" vunnit mark och mer effekti-va förverkandebestämmelser anses vara en viktig åtgärd i kampen för att spåra och återföra utbytet av brott. Förverkande vid brott har till avsikt att verka avskräckande genom att förhindra brottslingar att dra nytta av brott samt återinvestera utbytet av brott i ny brottslig verksamhet. Vidare har förverkande somInternationally, the concept of "follow the money trail" has gained ground, and more efficient forfeiture provisions are considered an important meas-ure in the fight to track down and return the proceeds of crime. Forfeiture provisions are designed to deter crime by preventing criminals to benefit from crime and reinvest the proceeds of crime in new criminal activity. Furthermore, forfe
