Homelessness has always been and will always be a problem in every society. How should we organize the work and care for these people? There are three different types of welfare states, the liberal, the conservative and the social democratic. In the liberal welfare state the market is the supplier of the public good. In the conservative state the family and church and in the social democratic the
How is the identity of Swedish diplomats affected by living a very international life, regularly moving from one place to another, while their main task is to represent Sweden at all times? How does the national identity relate to the professional and the international identity and what role does the context play in this process? These are the questions asked in this thesis. By interviewing 39 Swe
The European Union is in many ways a huge and vast organization. With an increasing number of members and a deeper cooperation in many areas, the EU constantly needs to change to adapt to new opportunities and challenges. But in parallel to this development there is an entirely different debate, one that concerns the democratic legitimacy of the cooperation as a whole. The European Union is unique
The purpose of the present study was threefold: (a) to replicate the finding by MacLeod and Rutherford (1992) that low trait-anxious individuals, in contrast to high trait-anxious individuals, show a selective attention away from subliminally presented threat words at elevated levels of stress; (b) to test the hypothesis that this effect is due to individuals with repressive coping-style rather th
In comparison to other insects, like honeybees, bumblebees are very effective pollinators. Even though landing is a crucial part of pollination, little is known about how bumblebees orchestrate the final, critical moments of landing. Here, we use high-speed recordings to capture the fine details of the landing behaviour of free-flying bumblebees (Bombus terrestris), while landing on a flat platfor
In many-body and other systems, the physics situation often allows one to interpret certain, distinct states by means of a simple picture. In this interpretation, the distinct states are not eigenstates of the full Hamiltonian. Hence, there is an interaction that makes the distinct states act as doorways into background states which are modeled statistically. The crucial quantities are the overlap
This thesis will explore the role of cryptocurrencies in a market index portfolio. The portfolios of a mix of Bitcoin, Ether and the market indices S&P 500, OMXS30 and VTI will be examined and optimized to maximize the Sharpe ratio. This process is done using the Markowitz Portfolio Theory for portfolios containing one market index and either one or both cryptocurrencies, numerically optimizin
Unmanned stores are increasing in popularity as the prominence of digitalization is changing not only the customer-retailer interface but also the servicescapes of the stores. The current stakeholders within the industry are (1) tech-positive entrepreneurs that want to innovate the industry or (2) convenience-focused retailers adopting technological solutions to ease the workload. These innovation
I dagens samhälle är innovation av tilltagande värde för såväl industrialiserade som utvecklingsländer och ett innovativt samhällsklimat innebär ett betydande bidrag till den ekonomiska tillväxten och till samhällsutvecklingen i stort. Det bokförda värdet hos dagens bolag består till en stor och växande del av immateriella tillgångar och det blir ständigt lättare att tillgå mer och bättre kunskap.In today’s society innovation is increasingly important for a developed, as well as a developing, country and it is a significant contributor to economic growth and the evolution of society. The accounted value of companies increasingly consists of immaterial property and our access to existing knowledge is ever greater and ever easier. Since ideas and innovations are of such great importance to m
My purpose with this essay was to understand the contact persons view of his/her own professional role/identity, and the specific work environment at a correctional facility as an organization. To reach my purpose I answered three questions: how the correctional organization affect the individual contact person and their workmanship seen from a professional perspective, how contact persons find th
The City of Cape Town has used and, continues to use, the Temporary Relocation Areas as a tool to tackle homelessness and poor housing. Relocation is nothing new in South Africa, but the use of Temporary Relocation Areas represents a shift in how the state attempts to fulfil their constitutional obligations to realize the right to adequate housing for all, with unclear long-term implications. Temp
Poland, the Czech Republic, and Slovakia all joined the European Union in 2004. Since then, there have been very different trends apparent in all these countries in terms of attitudes to Europe, both at elite and mass level. This thesis examines the nature and level of Euroscepticism in these countries, and discovers a number of reasons for the differences in these trends from country to country.
In recent years the concern about the future of the European Union and its supposed lack of democracy, efficiency and legitimacy has increased. This concern has resulted in extensive debates and the establishment of a convention with the task to create a draft treaty for a European Constitution. The aim of this essay is to study how the three theoretical concepts, democracy, efficiency and le
