The concept of sustainable development has been widely spread and practiced within urban planning. However there is no easy answer to how to define and create social sustainability. Therefore four categories that indicate social sustainability have been used to study the phenomenon. These are: Safety Meeting places Participation in the planning process Green areas The purpose of this study is to e

Coronapandemin har påverkat samhället på många olika sätt. Inte minst arbetsmarknaden där arbetsplatser har flyttats från kontoren till arbetstagarna egna hem. Många tror dessutom att hemarbetet är här för att stanna även efter pandemins slut. Vem ansvarar för arbetsmiljön och hur ska arbetsmiljön säkerställas när arbetet flyttar från arbetsgivarens lokaler till arbetstagarens egna hem? Syftet medThe corona pandemic has affected the society in many ways. Not least the labour market where workplaces have moved from offices to employees’ homes. Many people believe that working from home is here to stay even after the pandemic. Who is responsible for the working environment and how is going to be ensured when the work is moving from the employer´s premises to the home of the employees? The ai

Konsumentköplagen ska balansera makten när näringsidkare säljer varor till privatpersoner. Enligt lagen ansvarar säljaren för att varan har den kvalitet och de egenskaper som parterna avtalat om samt att varan inte är felaktig i något annat avseende vid överlämnandet. Säljaren, eller någon annan kan även lämna garantier som är förmånligare för köparen. Om varan visar sig felaktig ger tvingande lagThe Consumer Sales Act has a purpose to balance the power when traders sell goods to consumers. According to the law, the seller is responsible for the product having the quality and properties that the parties have agreed on and that the product is not defected in any other respect at the time of delivery. The seller, or someone else, can also provide a guarantee that is more advantageous to the

The purpose of this study is to explore how social workers relate to the increased interest in digitalization in social work. The study has focused on how digitalization affects the social workers 'professional role, how it affects the social workers' client meeting and what digitalization will look like in the future. I have used three different theories. Thomas Brante's theory of pro

Planning for capacity in not just the production, but also in the supply chain, is important. Strategic long-term planning for the supply chain will affect how the company will be able to meet the demand. This Master Thesis will focus on the capacities within the supply chain at PolyPeptide and how they could be planned for in the future. PolyPeptide is a company that manufactures active pharmaceu

This study is about the report that social workers write, on request from the Migrations office, about age assessment of unaccompanied children seeking asylum in Sweden and what their perceptions and opinions are about this assignment. It is based on six qualitative interviews with social workers who works with unaccompanied children at social service in two different municipalities in the south o

This thesis focuses on the era of early film, with the aim to address an almost forgotten film language. Three aspects have been taken into account—variable frame rates, suppressed sound and hearing, and projection speeds—to analyze several examples of film to ascertain the techniques used by early filmmakers. I have also applied my findings of the techniques of yesteryear to contemporary films th

I syfte att få en bild av subjektiva upplevelser av självet hos personer med schizofreni intervjuades fyra personer som är eller har varit diagnostiserade med schizofreni och/eller har upplevt återkommande psykotiska episoder. Självet definierades utifrån the minimal self som innebär en omedelbar, upplevelsemässig realitet, och schizofreni som en störning i självet snarare än närvaro och utbredninIn purpose of gaining insight into subjective experiences of the self in people with schizophrenia, four people, who have or have had schizophrenia and/or have experienced recurring psychotic episodes, were interviewed. The self was defined as the minimal self which has an immediate experiential reality, and schizophrenia as a self-disorder rather than presence and prevalence of psychotic symptoms

Sedan länge har det funnits en uppdelning i Sverige mellan den idrottsliga världen och den allmänna domstolen när det kommer till idrottsrelaterad tvistelösning. Denna uppdelning innebär i praktiken att idrottsnämnder sköter sin egen tvistelösning genom privatdomarförfaranden och i vissa fall skiljeförfaranden. Denna uppsats undersöker Svensk Travsports privatdomarförfarande och jämför det med artFor a long time, there has been a division in Sweden between the sports movement and the general courts when it comes to sports-related disputes. In practice this division means that sports associations deal with their disputes through private dispute resolution and in some cases through arbitration proceedings. This essay examines the Swedish Trotting Associations private dispute resolution and c

Syfte: Syftet med studien är att med en enkätundersökning kartlägga dagliga aktivitetsmönster, välbefinnande samt olika motivationsfaktorer hos arbetssökande unga vuxna i åldern 18–25 år. Syftet är också att kartlägga vilket stöd målgruppen upplever sig ha och vilket värde ett arbete skulle ha för målgruppen. Metod: Deltagarna som medverkade var enligt exklusionskriterierna: Sjukskrivna, ej aktivtPurpose: The purpose of the study is using a survey to map daily occupational patterns, well-being, and how different motivational factors are perceived and experienced in the target group able-bodied young adults age 18–25. The purpose is also to map the support the target group have, and what values a job would have for the target group. Method The participants where picked with the exclusion cr

The availability of a “male network” of family members and/or friends may be decisive for the outcome of a woman’s asylum application. As it is recognised under the jurisprudence of ECtHR and Swedish asylum adjudicators that women, who originates from countries where societal structures maintain women’s reliance on men, are particularly vulnerable. The Migration Agency, the Swedish decision-making

For a labor market, such as the one for economists, an employer often faces the diffi- culty of distinguishing attainable from unattainable candidates. Offers, rejections and the recruiting process overall is costly, and participants of the market need to choose who to pursue wisely. EconMatch is a site aiming to provide suggestions on what candidate is the best to pursue for a university, based o

Food is a fundamental human need – a physical requirement for survival. At the current historical juncture, the global food system is entangled in a web of neoliberal capitalist exchange relations and suffers from heavy dependence on fossil energy inputs. Today’s agro-industrial complex, which has evolved jointly with fossil capitalism and is organized according to its principles, is firmly entren

Multi and many core platforms are increasingly employed today to cope with the demands of modern multimedia, networking and other similar streaming applications. Selecting the best architecture for a set of such applications is complex, and without coding for each specific system, the choice is made based on designer experience. In this paper we use CAL, a dataflow language for specifying streamin

Context-aware computing is a typical paradigm of ubiquitous computing and aims to provide context information anywhere and anytime. Context data management which handles gathering, processing, managing, evaluating and disseminating context information is the heart of context-aware system. Context provision and acquisition, thus, become crucial for context-aware computing. In order to decouple appl

In application areas that process stream-like data such as multimedia, networking and DSP, the pipelined concurrent processing is frequently represented as a dataflow network of communicating computational kernels connected by FIFO queues. However, while dataflow is a natural medium for conceptualizing and modeling stream-processing systems, its adoption as a programming methodology has been hinde

Abstract in UndeterminedA millimeter-wave (mm-wave) impulse radio is an attractive alternative to existing high-speed mm- wave radio systems because of the potential for a simpler transceiver architecture. This paper studies the feasibility of a mm-wave impulse radio system for home and office use by considering state-of-the- art transceivers and multiple-input multiple-output measured propagation

A primary functionality of context aware applications is the retrieval of different types of context data from various context sources and adapting their behavior accordingly. In order to facilitate context aware application development, a context aware middleware must provide an effective context data management and lookup strategy. The use of a traditional index for indexing dynamic context data

Context-aware applications generally need to retrieve various kinds of dynamic context data from a large number of context sources. A middleware managing context sources must provide an efficient context lookup mechanism to ease application development. In this paper, we categorize the context sources as operating spaces and propose semantic peer-to-peer overlays over these spaces to accelerate dy
