Våldtäkter i Sverige är ett fenomen som fått mycket belysning i media, men där det funnits ganska lite forskning om hur profilerna på de som begår brotten ser ut. Gärningsmannaprofilering har ett värde i att det kan hjälpa polisen avgränsa sökområdet, men profilering är också en disciplin inom forskningen där det funnits stora skillnader mellan olika länder. Därför är det viktigt att det bedrivs fRape is a criminal phenomenon that is widely recognized in Sweden, both journalistically and politically, but where research concerning the offenders' profiles is very sparse. Offender profiling is a valuable investigative tool which may help law enforcement limit their search parameters and prevent information overload. However, there are national disparities between crime scene actions and b

Följares konstruerade bild och föreställningar av ledarskap kan ses vara nästintill orimliga att leva upp till för ledaren. Följarna har höga krav och dessa krav uppfylls för det mesta inte i verkligheten, men i verkligheten så skiljer sig den verkliga föreställningen sig från deras konstruerade fantasibild av ledarskap.

The use of motion expressions to describe objects that are actually static (e.g. “The train tracks curves through the mountain”) has been of interest within the fields of linguistics and cognitive science for at least three decades (e.g. Langacker, 1990; Matsumuto, 1996; Talmy, 2000a; Matlock, 2004a; Zlatev & Blomberg, 2013). In this thesis, such descriptions will be referred to as Non-Actual

Awara Ahmed Kontroll i butik med fokus på Listeria monocytogens och hållbarhet av egentillverkade produkter Listerios Listeria monocytogens orsakar ett sjukdomstillstånd som kallas för listerios, det vanligaste sättet att få listeriosinfektion är genom kontaminerade livsmedel. Infektionen är ovanligt men allvarligt sjukdom. De individer som främst drabbas av listerios är äldre, personer med nListeria monocytogens causes the disease listeriosis, and the most common way the infection is spreading in the environment is believed to be through food. Listeriosis is a rare infection, but can cause serious symptoms in risk groups as the elderly, people with compromised immunesystems, pregnant women and their fetuses, mortality rate is 20-30%. There are two types of listeriosis, the first one

The United States and the European Union operate under the similar design of a federal structure and their labor markets face similar tax discrimination challenges. Case law illustrates how the goal of a common market present in both unions is highly influential on the respective Courts and provides a flexible structure to protect individuals against discriminatory tax legislation. It is the centr

Organic production of beef is viewed as one strategy to mitigate negative externalities deriving from beef production. This study seeks to characterize key attributes of production among organic and conventional beef producers in Skåne, Sweden. The goal is to understand the extent to which their differentiation as organic or conventional is based on the practices which make them semantically diffe

Pelare som utsätts för tryck kan behöva stabiliseras för att inte böja ut oönskat mycket i sidled. För att stabilisera pelaren måste fjäderstyvheten i det stabiliserande stödet vara tillräckligt stort. Detta för att undvika instabilitetsbrott men också för att fjäderkraften i stödet inte ska bli för stor. För en pelare med en led i toppen och i botten beräknas vanligen Eulers knäckningslast P_e=(Columns under vertical point loads will need a brace in order not to bend out in a mode of column buckling. To stabilize the column, a sufficient brace stiffness needs to be given, both to avoid column instability and to reduce the horizontal force which occurs in the brace. Column buckling is usually determined by Eulers buckling formula P_e=(π^2 EI)/l^2 . This is the value when buckling occurs r

Neoliberalism, as a loosely defined set of political beliefs, calls for more individual freedom and autonomy, resulting in increased responsibility for each person to address major societal issues. ‘Individualization’ is the process by which responsibility for addressing major environmental issues such as climate change is placed on individuals. In this thesis I investigate whether individualizati
