This paper deals with institutional and structural factors' influence on democratic Transition in limited multiparty regimes in Sub-Saharan Africa. Comparing the cases Kenya and Tanzania, of which the former has made a Transition to democracy and the latter has not, this paper reaches the conclusion that political traditions, the coalescing of the opposition, and the elites ability to learn from the electoral process is essential for a Transition to democracy. In the specific cases, the harshness of the Moi regime and the Tanzanian vision of national unity may possibly carry some explanatory power, alongside the pressure from international actors.These results have been reached through the application of a comparative case study, where democratic Transition constitutes the dependent variable. It should be noted that a harsh definition of the term Transition has been applied, according to which the incumbents actual loss of an election is a necessary indicator for Transition. However, the Freedom House and Polity scores have been brought up as complement of this definition.

Människor som drabbas av stroke får ofta allvarliga komplikationer. Sjukdomen medför en förändrad framtid även för den närstående som tar på sig en vårdande roll. Syftet med denna litteraturstudie var att beskriva upplevelsen av Transition hos närstående som vårdar en familjemedlem drabbad av stroke. Analysen resulterade i sex kategorier: söka kunskap och insikt: svårigheter att anta nya roller: leva i en förändrad relation: erövra en ny normalitet i livet: hitta tillbaka till sig själv och omvärdera prioriteringar i livet. Resultatet beskriver att Transition är en komplex process som integrerar många delar av människans livsvärld.

The purpose of this essay is to investigate how parents of children with ADHD or autism experience the Transition between preschool and preschool classes. To get answers to my questions, I interviewed five parents representing three different schools in one municipality. I have chosen to use a qualitative research interview inspired by phenomenology. The results of this study show that parents perceptions differ, in terms of how well the Transition work for children, and how support and treatment are at a Transition. For children with a documented diagnosis, schools have an action plan for those in the gray area there are no procedures.

This thesis has been developed inassociation with Strängbetong AB, Sweden.A few years backCementa AB introduced a new type of cement on the Swedish market: Byggcement,which is a Portland Limestone Cement. This type of cement is better for theenvironment and cheaper than Rapid Hardening Cement which is used today at SträngbetongAB.Strängbetong AB isvery interested in a change of cement in the factory and wants to know what ittakes to make a Transition from Rapid Hardening Cement to Byggcement.This final projectaims at investigating how the workability and strength development are affectedby a Transition from the existing cement to Byggcement and how we can change theproperties of the concrete by adding different types of superplasticizers. Laboratory and factoryexperiments were made, to investigate the Transition..

Slovenia and Latvia are two examples of countries which have gone through a successful democratic Transition. They were both under authoritarian rule and command economy up until their declarations of independence in the early 90s. Today they have a functional market economy and political pluralism. I have examined Transition theories highlighted by Jonas Linde and Joakim Ekman and from these theories sought the explanations to what lies behind the successful Transitions of these two countries. The Transition in Slovenia was affected by liberalization from within the ruling communist party which then controlled much of the Transition process. A relatively large civil society and the fact that Slovenia was not involved in the Balkan War also contributed to the short process.

This essay aims to explain the fluctuations in the Swedish Transition rate to higher education between 1923 and 2002. With theories of human capital, and screening, as points of departure, seven variables are selected and their correlation with the Transition rate investigated by use of graphs and tables. The variables are unemployment, youth unemployment, the supply of academics, cohort size, number of high school graduates from programs preparing for ensuing studies, relative wage trends for worker categories with differing levels of education, and structural phase. Results show that no single variable nor the theories of human capital or screening can explain the fluctuations in Transition rate in full. Instead I propose a theoretic model which amalgamates the above and places risk aversion as the driving force behind the individual?s educational decision.

The intention with the research was to investigate the role of civil society in the Kenyan democratization process. The research intends thus to analyze (1) the role of civil society in Kenya's Transition to democracy (1990- 2002), and (2) the role of civil society in the further democratization process (2002- 2013).The results of the research demonstrates that the role of civil society played a crucial role in Kenya?s Transition to democracy given that civil society provided with a multiparty- system in 1991. In addition, civil society endowed with education for citizens in order to attain constitutional reforms. As a result, Kenya accomplished a Transition to democracy in 2002.

När en människa drabbas av långvarig sjukdom förändras livet radikalt, det ären händelse som delar upp livet före och efter sjukdom. Transition är enkomplex och personlig process som handlar om att utforska det egnamedvetandet för att komma till insikt och finna mening.

Studien genomfördes som en litteraturstudie där 11vetenskapliga artiklar ingick och analyserades med manifest deduktivinnehållsanalys. Det resulterade i nio kategorier; att ställas inför ett besked, attfå ett förändrat liv med förluster, att känna ovisshet och osäkerhet, att varaberoende av andra, att förlora sin självkänsla, att vara ensam i sin sjukdom, attåterta kontrollen och bli medveten om sin kropp, att känna hopp, stöd ochlycka, att prioritera och lära sig av erfarenheter.

AbstractThe purpose of this study is to illustrate Serbia?s democratic development on the basis of consolidate democratic perspective. Linz & Stepan´s five arenas (political, civil, economic, legal and bureaucratic) are required for the possibility to become a consolidate democracy. In order to fulfil the aim, I have chosen to focus on the political and civil arenas that are most central in the study of consolidate democracy.The purpose of this study is to process how far Serbia has come towards a consolidate democracy and which obstacles still remain in the Transition.The questions in this study are:? What problems has Serbia faced since the democratic Transition in the beginning of 1990?? What possibilities are there for Serbia to consolidate the democracy, with focus on the two key arenas of consolidation?By applying the theoretical framework to the data, I have been able to present answers and build up an analysis.
