Abstract We have done a study about how gender is constructed in substance abuse care. The aim is to see the constructions of gender on treatment centers by seeing how the staff, organization and treatment constructs gender. Our range is strategically selected to be able to answer the questions we had. Respondents represent seven people in three different treatment centers. To get answers to our q

This thesis explores the interlinking of evaluation and development through an anthropological lens by considering the indigenization process of an evaluation culture, and how evaluation travels across boundaries as an assemblage, similar to many other global phenomena. Central to the thesis is the national evaluation capacity building trend viewed as a two-sided project; first as internal capacit

Studien undersöker befintliga uppfattningar om progressiva avskrivningar på byggnader i bostadsrättsföreningar samt vad Bokföringsnämndens beslut kan få för konsekvenser för bostadsrättsföreningar och dess intressenter på marknaden.

I det här arbetet vill jag behandla skilsmässor och hur det påverkar föräldrarna och barnen, men framförallt hur det förändrar familjen som grupp. Oftast lägger vi den största vikten vid barnets behov, men vi gör det utifrån en vuxens tankar och ”förstånd”. Syftet med uppsatsen är att se hur familjen och dess medlemmar reagerar i en kris som en skilsmässa, , och frågeställningarna jag tänker arbet

The objective of this thesis is to examine rural populations' access to land in Ethiopia, in the light of land regulations and different obstacles. Using a qualitative research design, based on a literature study, the following topics will be discussed; land regulation, state-led industrial development, villagization program and land-grab. In conclusion, the regulatory framework forbids locals

This study investigates reconciliation processes, based on narratives of experiences from a rural area in Rift Valley, Kenya. A qualitative method has been used and ten interviews were followed out with people who had taken part in a reconciliation workshop run by the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Kenya. The authors also took part in such a workshop themselves. In the analysis, the theory of symb

Barn är en särskilt känslig grupp i samhället. Det genomförs därför återkommande nationella enkäter om deras miljörelaterade hälsa, kopplad till hem- och bostadsmiljö. Många barn tillbringar dock en betydande del av sin vakna tid i förskolan, men det har hittills inte funnits någon samlad bild över den fysiska miljön där, vare sig lokalt eller nationellt. Därför har Arbets- och miljömedicin i LundChildren are a particularly vulnerable group in society. It is therefore carried out national surveys on how their health is affected by their home and residential environment. Many children, however, spend a significant proportion of their waking hours in preschools and that environment has not been as closely monitored, neither locally nor nationally. Therefore Occupational and Environmental Med

In the light of changing global foreign direct investment (FDI) patterns, economic research has started to pay an increasing amount of attention to China as one of the new main investor countries, and emphasize the implications of this in the world economy. This thesis examines Chinese FDI flows and investor behavior in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), and relates this to the academic debate surrounding

The low levels of workforce participation achieved by Sweden’s immigrants is an issue that has challenged policymakers for over 35 years. Recently, the significance of this issue in the minds of Swedish voters has been made clear, as Sweden elected the first far-right anti-immigration party into parliament in almost 20 years. In late 2010, in an effort to combat the ongoing issue, the government i

This bachelor thesis mainly focuses on the cadmium in the environment, how we are exposed to cadmium and it´s human toxicity. Cadmium (Cd) is a heavy metal that occurs naturally in the earth's crust (0,08 -0,05 μg Cd/g). Pure cadmium minerals are rare and cadmium is often found associated with zinc minerals, such as sphalerite (ZnS) with a Cd-concentration usually lower than 0,5 percent. The

Models for dynamic simulation of a parabolic trough concentrating solar power plant were developed in Modelica for the simulation software Dymola. The parabolic trough power plant has a two-­‐tank indirect thermal storage with solar salt for the ability to dispatch electric power later in the evening and during the night when little or no solar irradiation is present. The complete system consists

When we talk about the future of work we do no longer talk about “the paper less office” like we used to but the “no fixed work place office”. In the year of 2013 26% of the Swedish population was occasionally working flexible, meaning at other locations then the actual workplace. And this number is expected to increase in the upcoming years. The research made in this project consisted of differe

Leather is a material long used by humans and has found it’s way into many areas of our lives and homes. The project began with the intent to learn more about this material and investigate the techniques used today in the making of leather products. The first part consisted of several weeks of research, where it became apparent that leather is a material burdened by a dirty, environmentally unfrie

In Nepal, growing number of men work abroad leaving their wives back home. Study on the situation of these left behind wives is limited so far. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of outmigration of male labour migrants on gender roles in Nepalese context and to understand whether outmigration has bearing on women’s empowerment. Adopting purposive sampling and snowball technique

Högeffektiva solceller och lysdioder samt nya typer av transistorer är bara några av möjligheterna som öppnas med nanoteknik. En av de mest lovande nano- strukturerna som studeras för framtida applikationer är nanotrådar av halvledarmaterial som galliumarsenid (GaAs). Dessa stavformade kristaller har en diameter mindre än en tusendel av ett hårstrås och förväntas bli de nya byggnadsblocken inom elSemiconductor nanowires (NWs) are expected to be the new building blocks in electronics and photonics, but improved understanding of the nanowire surfaces and electronic properties are required to realize it. In this bachelor thesis, wurtzite (Wz)-zincblende (Zb) axial heterostructure GaAs nanowires are studied using scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy. The hexagonal cross section nan

Normalt åldrande kan innebära att den äldre människan drabbas av ohälsa som kan leda till minskat välbefinnande. Djur kan ha ett vårdande syfte och används på följande sätt: Animal-assisted activity (AAA), animal-assisted therapy (AAT), animal-assisted intervention (AAI). Studiens syfte var att beskriva hur interaktion med djur kan användas som en omvårdnadsåtgärd för att den äldre människan inom

It is not well acknowledged that caregivers suffer from work related violence. Previous research indicates that caregivers are in a vulnerable position and at high risk of being exposed to violence. The aim of this study was to examine how caregivers experience violence towards themselves and also the importance of the work-group in the organization. The study was based on six semi-structured inte

Denna tvärsnittsstudie syftade till att kartlägga vad studenter på samhällsvetenskapliga fakulteten i Lund ansåg var viktiga egenskaper på en framtida attraktiv arbetsplats, samt att undersöka vilken arbetsmotivation de hade och om samband mellan dessa fanns. Studien utredde även om skillnader mellan män och kvinnor förelåg. Forskningsmetoden var surveyundersökning och data samlades in genom bekväThe purpose of this cross-sectional study was to explore what students at samhällsvetenskapliga fakulteten in Lund thought were important characteristics for a future attractive workplace, which work motivation they had and if there was a correlation between these. The study also examined if there was a difference between men and women. The research method was survey and we collected the data thro

Temporary work agencies operate on a business model based on the idea of hiring workers and placing them in assignments at other companies. This model has proved to be beneficial on the labour market in response to the increasing competitive pressure, the need of flexibility and a bigger variation of workforce. The Swedish labour law model is traditionally built on an employment contract between a

Since the first methadone program was introduced in Sweden during the late 60s, it has been a controversial method of treating opiate addiction. The aim of this study was to, by doing a discourse analysis, come to an understanding how the Swedish maintenance program for opiate addiction was constructed and debated in three big Swedish newspapers during the 2000s. More specifically the aim was to r
