The term Female Genital Mutilation is often used to describe a process whereby a part or all of the external female genitalia is been cut as a result of factors generally embedded around culture and tradition. This study takes a panoramic view at FGM beginning from a historical perspective when the practice was generally regarded as a cure to the sexual “excesses” of the female to the present day

Vad har kroppen för betydelse vid musikaliskt lärande? I en samhällsstruktur och akademisk tradition, där kroppen mer betraktas som ett transportmedel än som bärare av reell kunskap, ställs frågan i motvind. Denna studie ämnar i första hand undersöka idéstrukturer som omger vår syn på kroppens betydelse för och relation till musikaliskt lärande. Studien är inriktad på att via ett explorativt och What importance does the body hold in a musical learning experience? In a social structure and academic tradition, in which the body is more considered as a means of transport rather than as bearer of real knowledge, the question faces a headwind. This study mainly aims to investigate the preconceptions surrounding our view of the body's relevance and connection to musical learning experiences

The aim of the thesis is to analyse the current role of management accountants, how it is affected by contextual factors, and how it has changed over time. A quantitative content analysis of job advertisements is conducted. The factors of analysis are identified based on a combination of deductive and inductive approach. First, reporting, planning, budgeting, forecasting, cost accounting, MS Offi

Thesis Purpose The purpose of this research is to increase the understanding of occupational gender segregation by exploring how preschool teachers and principals perceive gender diversity, what they consider to be the primary issues that hinder men from entering this profession, and what they think a larger inclusion of men in the profession could lead to. Theoretical Perspective We based our re

The Jordanian state apparatus is increasingly limiting civil society in Jordan from engaging in open debate, and organisations are gradually inhibited from executing their activities and events. These are the premises on which this research is based, and in exploring them several questions arise. How can civil society in Jordan be characterised and applied? What do these obstacles look like in pra

Research Purpose: To explore the understandings of workplace inclusion through indepth investigation of the concept in an organizational context. Research Question: How do employees in Microsoft Denmark understand workplace inclusion? Methodology: Following an interpretive paradigm, we seek to explore in-depth understandings of employees in our case company. We conducted a multi-method qualitati

Säkerhet ses oftast som en del av en teknisk lösning vilket gör att företag har en tendens att dedicera mer resurser till teknisk säkerhet, snarare än strategisk säkerhet. Mänskliga faktorer kan ha en avgörande negativ roll för informationssäkerheten inom företag om grunden till informationssäkerheten inte hanteras på rätt sätt. Uppsatsen undersöker kopplingen mellan modellen CIA-triadens olika de

Language learning strategies are presented in several parts of the Swedish national syllabus for English for high school and teachers are expected to both teach learning strategies and to test and grade students’ use of them. Despite supporting documents, teachers have expressed an insecurity regarding what in the Swedish national syllabus for English is referred to as “[…] strategies to assimilat

Today energy supply is moving towards more renewable, which brings challenges to the power grid. Intermittent power is difficult to predict and cannot be regulated in the same way as conventional power. If the grid is not dimensioned to handle the power peaks, the intermittent power can cause overload on the grid. Overload causes larger losses, can damage electrical components in the grid and/or a

The main purpose of this thesis is to give a basic understanding of the GMV portfolio theory and the problematics that arise when using the sample covariance matrix as the only parameter. The reason for this is the amount of estimation error that tends to increase as the sample covariance matrix goes to a higher dimension. In an attempt to reduce the amount of error, an alternative approach based

This bachelor thesis is a critical policy analysis of two legislative proposals, L155 and L158, currently debated in the Danish Parliament. The proposals concern security measures for the potential extraction of uranium and other raw materials in Greenland. The aim of the paper is to examine the premises of the mentioned discussion and thereby derive knowledge about the current power relations bet

The purpose of this study is to investigate the feasibility of both online and offline fault location and state of health technologies for airport series circuits used to provide power to light fixtures on the runway. In current series circuits, only some ground faults can be detected and no automated fault location or state of health features are available. Fault location is currently performed w

Using derivative securities can help investors increase their expected returns as well as minimize their exposure to risk. For a risk-averse investor, options can offer both insurance and leverage and for a more risk-loving investor they can be used as speculation. Basket option is a kind of option whose payoff de- pends on an arbitrary portfolio of assets. The basket is made out of a weighted sum

This report is about further development of a test rig called the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation Test Rig, called the DMRC Test Rig. A method for testing pneumatic valves,used in the systems for train brakes and called brake valves, was developed.The main objective was to automatize the testing of all existing and future developed pneumatic brake valves, made by the company Faiveley Transport, using

Evaluating evacuation experiments is a time consuming work. This report explores the possibilities of an automated time saving procedure with the help of ordinary computer programs and video cameras. Simplifying the procedure means that more types of tests can be made, i.e. walking paths of people turning corners. Trials were performed during two days with fire safety engineering students at the F

Sagem Défense et Sécurité (now Safran Electronics & Defense), a French space and defense company of the SAFRAN group, is working on the next generation of Unmanned Aerial System (UAS). This UAS features a fully automatic Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) equipped with a state-of-the-art navigation system. This navigation system relies mainly on a high-accuracy Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) coupl

The purpose of this report is to study the relationship between the rescue service fire prevention activities and the number of arson fires in schools. An objective of the project is also to investi-gate the need of developing national methods for fire prevention. The results are based on a questionnaire study among 35 fire departments and further interviews with five of them. The results indicate

This report focuses on CFD-calculations using parallel processors carried out with the software Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS). From a users point of view the advantages and disadvantages with parallel CFD-calculations were analyzed and evaluated. A simplified me-thod for quantitative evaluation was developed with guidance from ASTM E 1355 whereu-pon relative differences between serial reference sc
