Dagens alltmer retributiva kriminalpolitik utgör en bakgrund till att medling vid brott för unga lagöverträdare har identifierats som ett ämne som är värt att undersöka närmare. Studiens syfte är att belysa hur medlare i Skåne beskriver och uppfattar medlingens praktik, med fokus på de hinder som medlingsverksamheten står inför och som tycks begränsa dess potential. Empirin består av sex intervjue

Successful enlargement of the small aortic root in children has remained a management challenge, particularly in the neonates and small infants. Achieving this aim requires thorough understanding of the anatomic features of the left ventricular outflow tract, careful patient selection, and skilful execution of complex surgery. This article reviews the anatomical principles upon which the surgical

This article explores the holistic approach to Leo Hurwitz's documentary aesthetic, by looking at how "Dialogue with a Woman Departed" (1981) interweaves the portrait of an individual with the contemporary history of the American nation and with the cyclical processes of nature.

The content of the thesis is divided into two parts; graph theory and linear programming. The main results in the first part concerns extremal graph theory. Here we want to determine the number of edges in a graph needed to ensure the existence of certain local structures. Upper and lower bounds are given for the number of edges in a graph to ensure triangles and quadrilaterals respectively, when

We argue that leadership promotion in China’s political elite relies on homophily for signals of trustworthiness and future cooperative behavior more than on economic performance. We first point to the limitation of the economic performance argument from within the framework of China’s specific M-form state structure, and then we proffer a sociological explanation for why higher-level elites in Ch

A quantitative methodology based on in-line UV/Vis absorption spectroscopy and on-line evaporative light scattering detection for supercritical fluid extraction is proposed. The method was applied to the extraction of carotenoids, chlorophyll A, ergosterol and total lipids from microalgae. One regression technique and two curve resolution techniques were applied on the absorption spectroscopy data

Syftet med studien är att undersöka den anormala avkastningen hos börsintroduktioner på Stockholmsbörsen, mellan år 2000 och 2011, jämfört med ett relevant branschindex. Författarna undersöker sedan huruvida det finns något signifikant samband mellan ett antal utvalda variabler och erhållen BHAR. Förhoppningen är att studien kan bidra med ny kunskap inom aktuellt område, samt fungera som inspiratiThe purpose of the study is to examine the abnormal performance of IPOs, conducted on Nasdaq OMX Stockholm between the years 2000 and 2011, compared to a relevant sector index. The authors examine if there is a significant relationship between a selection of variables and obtained BHAR. Hopefully the study will contribute with new knowledge within this research area, and act as a source of inspira

Vid mikroskopi så tar man en bild av ljus som har passerat igenom ett prov. Ljusets styrka påverkas av provet och fångas på en kamera. Ett problem som uppstår är när man ska ta bilder av genomskinliga material, dessa påverkar ju inte ljusets styrka. Det finns flera lösningar på detta problem, en av dessa kommer beskrivas här och har undersökts närmare i exjobbet.} Ljus färdas olika snabbt igenom This thesis contains an examination of a method for quantitative phase imaging using lateral shearing interferometry. The focus is on how the degree of spatial coherence in the light source effect the image. The method is examined by first creating a simulation of the system, then looking at some analytical solutions for the interaction between some parameters, and finally conducting an experime

Valutakursrisk har historiskt hanterats med negativt korrelerad eller okorrelerade instrument för att minska den totala risken i en portfölj. Som ett resultat av en integrerad värld har sådana instrument blivit allt mer sällsynta. Råvaror såsom guld har påvisat ett negativt samband och mycket av den bakomliggande teorin i uppsatsen är därför starkt relaterad till guldet. Digitala valutor är ett nyExchange rate risk has historically been dealt with through negatively correlated or uncorrelated instruments in order to reduce the overall risk in a portfolio. As a result of an integrated world, such instruments have become increasingly rare. Commodities such as gold have demonstrated a negative relationship, therefore much of the underlying theory in this thesis is strongly related to gold. Di

Sweden's public sector is drastically changing through reforms of privatization and increased market influences. The aim of this thesis is to examine these reforms' effects on political accountability. The object of study is the regional municipality of Scania, Region Skåne, and its elected officials' possibilities for accountability from the privatized primary care section of the regi

This study is conducted with the help of 58 students in our Social Sciences departement examined the relationship between student valuations of academic outcomes and the perceived likelihood of these within the framework of Expectancy Theory. Furthermore, students current motivation was gauged using a SIMS test developed in accordance to Self- determination theory. The above mentioned tests were p

Den arktiska ögruppen Svalbard har fram till första världskriget betraktats som terra nullius, ingenmansland. Nationer från hela Europa har i århundraden bedrivit olika ekonomiska verksamheter i området, bl a fiske och gruvdrift. Genom en traktat från 1920, den s k Svalbardtraktaten, erkändes Norges suveränitet över Svalbard samtidigt som lika rätt att bedriva ekonomisk verksamhet på land och terr

EU-kommissionens tillämpning av den europeiska konkurrenslagstiftningen har på senare år genomgått en förändring. EU-kommissionen kräver, sedan konkurrenslagstiftningens modernisering 2004, att ett konkurrensbegränsande avtal leder till ”objektiva ekonomiska fördelar” för att det ska undantas enligt Artikel 101(3) FEUT. Även om EU-kommissionen förr tog hänsyn till miljön i sin konkurrensrättsliga The European Commission has, in recent years, adopted an economic, consumer welfare-driven approach in its competition policy. Since the “modernisation” of the European competition law in 2004, the Commission has stated that “objective economic benefits” are necessary for the exemption in Article 101(3) TFEU to apply. While the Commission in the past may have taken environmental consideration into
