This paper seeks to provide an analytical framework for designing a more effective law enforcement for the crime of commercial sexual exploitation of children. The author has chosen to focus on a group of children particularly at risk in the society due to the lack of attention, namely accompanied children in the migration process. Out of a total of 1086 asylum seeking accompanied children arriv

With increased demand and high prices for minerals and metals in recent years, many resource rich developing countries see mining sector as vital to develop their economies. Colombia is one of these nations. Non-renewable natural resource wealth is seen as an opportunity to obtain economic benefits that can be transformed into increased wellbeing for citizens. However, mining often involves a high

Social services work with violent fathers The objective of this study was to review and analyze how social workers, employed by the Swedish social services, work with fathers that are domestically violent and to discuss their views and perceptions on this issue. Domestic violence is traditionally considered a private matter, and in the past has largely not been considered a child protection issue

Agroforestry är ett jordbrukssystem där odling av grödor kombineras med träd på samma jordbruksytor. Då den stadigt minskande markbördigheten ses som den främsta begränsningen till ökade skördar, är det nödvändigt för en hållbar matproduktion att näringsämnen som tas upp av grödor från marken, eller försvinner på grund av erosion och urlakning, fylls på. Många länder i Afrika har i flera årtiondenAgroforestry is an agricultural system where crop farming is combined with trees on the same land. The steadily decreasing soil fertility is considered to be the primary constraint to increased crop yields, and it is vital to replenish the nutrients lost by plant uptake or removal by erosion and leaching for a sustainable food production. Several African countries have for tens of years received f

Accelerated deforestation represents a major global environmental concern. Over the last decades Cambodia has experienced a drastic decrease in forest cover and measures to halt deforestation have not been as effective as planned. In order to support reforestation, as well as appropriate sustainable forest management practices, two aspects need to be taken into account: (a) the ecosystem functioni

Behovet av att skapa hållbara och flexibla byggnader har vuxit under de senaste åren, inte minst för att möta högt uppsatta klimatmål. Utrymmena mellan byggnaderna, med andra ord utemiljöer, har regelbundet prioriterats sekundärt och anpassats i stor utsträckning efter det bebyggda behovet. Utemiljöer i urban kontext innehåller ofta mer eller mindre kollektiva varor, som är icke-exkluderbara och iThe need for sustainable and flexible buildings has grown in recent years in order to meet climate goals. However, outdoor environments have often been overlooked and is often strongly controlled by the built environment. These spaces hold significant social and ecological benefits but pose challenges for real estate companies as they lack direct financial returns. Well-designed outdoor environme

“ We are both created and create.Why cannot our own creations also create?” Så lät uttalandet från den australienska domaren i det patenträttsliga fallet DABUS. AI är ett väldiskuterat samhällsområde där utvecklingen går så snabbt att det är svårt för lagstiftningen att hinna med. Uppfinnarbegreppet i patenträtten baserar sig på att det är en fysisk person som är uppfinnare. Det är lagstiftat i en“We are both created and create. Why cannot our creations also create?” That was the statement of the Australian judge in the DABUS patent case. AI is a rapidly developing and often discussed aspect of society where its accelerated development makes it difficult for legislation to advance at the same rate. The concept of inventor in patent law is based on the fact that it is a natural person who i

The mandatory report legislation under Chapter 14, 1 § Social Services Act, imposes an obligation to report to social services if they suspect child maltreatment. The interest for our thesis topic was brought when we read articles and previous research showing that preschool teachers and well baby nurses do not always notify when they suspect child maltreatment. The aim of this study was to examin

Severe environmental degradation worldwide calls for imperative action from human society. Small- and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs), which constitute an important component in almost every economic entity in the world, are subject to growing concern, as their environmental performance is essential to regional and global environmental protection and sustainable industrial development. Due to the

The purpose of this work has been to perform numerical calculations on the cubical mixing tank the QB mixer, to be able to verify its strength and try to improve it. The QB mixer is produced by the company QB FoodTech AB. Firstly a CAD model was made from drawings of the mixer. Then the structure was analysed in aspects of pressure load, thermal loads and gravitational load. A modal analysis to ge

Kevin Roberts has extended the comprehension of strong consumer brands to a higher level where loyalty beyond reason is established. He calls this new status Lovemarks. As the concept of Lovemark has only been applied in B2C markets, this thesis is directed to find out the applicability of Lovemarks in B2B context. In order to fulfill the research purpose, three main questions are answered based o

In order to sustainably develop infrastructure on Lake Victoria, the three member states must adopt sustainable business models t

Introduction: Despite Sweden’s commitment to ensure and achieve universal access to sexual and reproductive health (SRH) services, in line with the United Nations’ goals for sustainable development, there is evidence of limited SRH access and outcomes among women with insecure migration status in Sweden. For asylum-seekers and undocumented migrants, access to subsidised SRH services is regulated t

Amine transaminases are valuable biocatalysts in the pharmaceutical industry for the production of chiral amines. Their high regioselectivity and inherent regeneration of cofactor pose them as a greener alternative to the chemical synthesis. However, their application is hampered by their limited stability and narrow substrate scope and product inhibition. Recently, a stable tetrameric amine trans
