This thesis is about hiring processes in the university sector. More particularly, the focus is to identify if the employment of lecturers obeys the principle of objectivity, impartiality and meritocracy. The thesis is based on a so-called mixed method research. Partly, the extent of compliance is tested in a quantitative survey of six Swedish universities, partly each one of the 73 employment notices is analyzed in a qualitative text analysis. The source of information is public government documents from the examined universities. The survey is limited only to include employments until further notice. Therefore, all sorts of temporary employments are excluded. The focus is on the academic subjects of social science, sociology and political economy. Furthermore, the thesis only investigates employments from the years of 2011-2019. To create an understanding in what way the state institutions should handle their exercise of power, the theory Quality of Government (QoG) is being used. The theory is also used for analysis and as an inspiration for the assay scheme, which is used to assess if the employments are considered “narrower” or “more open”. The variables used in the survey are; notification time, number of applicants, the use of peer review, language of the announcement, and a type of “employment conversion”, made possible by law. The result of the thesis shows that there is an extensive amount of employments which in one way or another violates the principle of impartiality. For example: 24 percent of the employments has less than 2 applicants. 17 percent of the employments is missing impartial peer reviews. 89 percent of the employments are only given noticed in Swedish. 29 percent of the announcement texts are written in a narrow, excluding way. To sum up, we can see indications of partial employments. There are distinctive variations between the universities and among the academic subjects. The most important conclusion of this thesis is that all partial employments are a problem, with shortcomings in quality and in public trust as consequences.

Syftet med studien är att undersöka socionomstudenters nuvarande stress under utbildningstiden samt den stress som de känner inför deras framtida arbete. Det empiriska materialet samlades in genom en enkätundersökning där respondenterna fick beskriva sig själva genom bakgrundsfrågor samt svara på attitydfrågor om hur väl påståenden avseende stämde överens med deras situation. Den teori vi har använt är Karaseks Krav och Kontrollmodell som berör begreppet stress i förhållande till en individs krav och kontroll. Vårt resultat visar att socionomstudenter upplever en relativt hög stressnivå under studietiden. Deras stressnivå hade ett samband med kön, deras familjesituation, vilken termin de studerar på samt om de arbetar utöver studierna eller ej. Kvinnorna som svarade visade en tendens till en högre upplevd stress än de män som svarade. De som bodde hos sina föräldrar eller ensamma med barn visade en högre nivå av stress under utbildningen än de som bodde ensamma eller med partner. De som gick i första terminen hade högst medelvärde av stress utav alla terminer. Däremot hittade vi inget samband mellan socionomstudenters upplevda stress och deras ålder. Resultatet visar att socionomstudenter även känner en relativt hög nivå av förväntad stress inför arbetslivet. Denna stress har även ett samband med studenternas kön, ålder och om de jobbar utöver studierna. Kvinnor tenderar till att ha en högre förväntad stress än män. Ju äldre socionomstudenterna var desto mindre stress kände de inför arbetslivet. De som jobbade utöver studierna visade en lägre grad av förväntad stress än de som inte jobbade extra. Däremot hittade vi inget samband med studenternas förväntade stress och vilken termin de studerade samt om de hade genomfört en verksamhetsförlagd utbildning under deras studietid.  Ett samband fanns mellan den upplevda stressen under utbildningen och den förväntade stressen inför arbetslivet, ju högre stress socionomstudenterna känner under utbildningen desto högre stress känner de inför arbetslivet.

To extract metals and increase the pH value of water around a historical mine waste deposit a series of barrels are used. Polluted water is forced to pass inside these barrels where different filter materials purify the water. This research project is carried out in Sweden by MTM at Örebro University and Bergkraft in Kopparberg, titled “Methods for characterisation and remediation of historical mine waste”.   The fluid flow trough the filter materials in the barrels are needed to be understood, in order to improve the extracting process.   In this work a small transparent model filled with sand was made to visualise the fluid flow. In that model coloured water is representing the polluted water. To describe the flow in the transparent model a mathematical model is presented. The theory used in this work is the complex variable method in fluid dynamics together with numerical methods and computer programming. There is a pretty good match between the theoretical and experimental results presented in two dimensions. Continuing work could result in a three dimensional model with different geometries using the same technique.
