The study is based on data from 114 countries between 1960 and 2010. The data include a broad variety of countries, ranging from low-income to high-income countries. Following from

The aim of this study is to compare the implementation process and adoption of two cooperation models, used by public organizations to coordinate the work with children’s mental health, by comparing the views of the management with the views of the staff, within children’s psychiatrics, school and social services. The study was based on interviews with eight people from the management and a questi

The background of this study is my doctoral thesis in Sociology of Law “Violation and Satisfaction: A Sociology of Law Study of Non-Pecuniary Damages to Victims of Crime” (2012). After about ten years, I decided to make a replication based on the same method as in the original study presented in 2012. The general findings from the replication study are presented in the report “Violation and SatisfCompensation for Victims of Sexual Violence in Sweden: Some Empirical Findings from a Socio-Legal PerspectiveKarl Dahlstrand, PhD, lecturer at Sociology of Law Department, Lund University, Sweden.The background of this study is my doctoral thesis in Sociology of Law “Violation and Satisfaction: A Sociology of Law Study of Non-Pecuniary Damages to Victims of Crime” (2012).

Previous research has shown that it is possible to decarbonise Sweden's road transport sector. This study develops a scenario based method and analyses the influence of external factors on energy security, focusing on passenger and freight transport. It does so by analysing the vulnerabilities and capabilities of five different climate mitigation strategies, investigating previous security scenariPrevious research has shown that it is possible to decarbonise Sweden's road transport sector.

Machine learning, a sub-field of artificial intelligence, is the study of computer algorithms that improve automatically through experience. Although the term was coined in 1959, machine learning builds on questions/methods that were developed earlier in linear algebra, mathematical analysis, optimization, and mathematical statistics. In this chapter we will give a brief overview of machine learni

In the sedimentary bedrock of southwest Scania, located in the southernmost part of Sweden, there are several low-enthalpy Mesozoic sandstone aquifers situated at different depths. These aquifers collectively hold the potential for direct-heat geothermal utilization. Given the energy supply challenge across Europe, there is a growing need to characterise the geothermal resources and quantify their

This essay examines especially Russia`s role in the civil war in Syria that started on 15 March year 2011. External actors` political views, their cooperation with Russia and their interests in Syria have also been processed in this paper. My methodology consists of qualitative text analysis. An open approach was used when I have practiced my textual analysis. This means that the investigation is

This thesis focuses on developing and characterizing novel models for studying osteoclasts with an emphasis on how mutations abolishing osteoclastic acidification affect osteoclast signaling and bone remodeling, as well as how to treat patients bearing these rare mutations. Bone remodeling is under normal circumstances a tightly balanced process where resorption of bone by osteoclasts is followed

I have long been fascinated by the St. Pauli cemeteries in Malmö and how they relate to the city itself. A large residential area, Norra Sorgenfri, is currently being built around the cemeteries. As the city’s population density increases, more people use these cemeteries as their nearest green space. The work examines the possibilities for developing the use of St. Pauli cemeteries, as the city g

The rapid globalization has led to a rise in the number of multinational corporations. One common objective among these corporations when expanding to other developed markets is to access intangible resources such as knowledge. Through the acquisition of knowledge, corporations can strengthen their strategic position and improve their competitiveness. When operating across national borders, variou

This paper presents an integrated cognitive robotics systemfor industrial kitting operations in a modern factory setting.The robot system combines low-level robot control and execution monitoring with automated mission and task planning,and a logistics planner which communicates with the factory’smanufacturing execution system. The system has been implemented and tested on a series of automotive k

In 2001, the International Commission on Intervention and State Sovereignty (ICISS) published a report on the so called doctrine of the responsibility to protect (R2P). According to the ICISS, the R2P implies a subsidiary responsibility on the international community through the United Nations (UN) to protect populations from gross human rights violations if states responsible for those population

In recent years new ways to deal with trade barriers, aside from the traditional tariff and quota reductions, has been introduced to trade negotiations. These have the collective name of trade facilitation and focuses on the less visible parts of barriers to trade. As this started to be discussed in policy circles economic research picked up interest as well. However, focus in the research has bee

When it comes to absorbing and emitting radiation, molecules show similar properties as atoms do. A signicant dierence though, is that a molecular spectrum consists of notably more absorption lines compared to an atomic spectrum. The additional lines appear due to the fact that molecules can not only exist in electronic, but also in vibrational and rotational energy states. Each gas has uniquely d

Schizophrenia is a disease highly characterized by a disturbed perception of reality, where delusions often generate misinterpretations of the individuals perceptions. Emotion processing has been widely documented within schizophrenia, which above all has demonstrated a reduction regarding the Theory of mind. Also well documented is that individuals with schizophrenia depict a reduced perceptual a

The employment law in Sweden is very extensive compared to other countries. My aim with this essay is to compare the employment law for an employee with the employment protection for a CEO. The CEO is not protected by the employment Protection Act and therefore his terms of employment are completely up to the agreement he signs when he begins his employment. To do this I need to recite the main p
