Antibiotic resistance is an ever growing problem, and is considered one of the major challenges of modern medicine. In order to avoid further development and spread of multiresistance among bacteria, the use of antibiotics should be more restrictive, and more tailored to individual cases of infection. To facilitate more directed treatments, it is crucial to be able to quickly and reliably identify

The study used quantitative methods and qualitative methods to capture the experience of the intervention. The quantitative data was acquired with Distressth
If human rights are to be enjoyed by every person regardless of origin or nationality; if human rights are the rights of the human being under any circumstances, then the best way to gauge the quality and depth of our systems of protection of human rights will be to examine the extent to which these are enjoyed by their most genuine recipients: those deprived of wealth and citizenship, a home and
The aim of this work is to analyze the Chinese Great Leap Forward (大跃进Dayuejin) (1958-1961) and the reasons why its economic and social policies caused such a big imbalance and deficit in the Chinese economy. The thesis is divided in four chapters: The first chapter focuses on the Leap’s antecedent period; it begins with a very brief introduction to the key events after the establishment of the Pe
I samband med offentliga uppköpserbjudanden uppstår emellanåt ett behov för aktiemarknadsaktörer att göra uttalanden gentemot aktiemarknaden avseende sina avsikter. När aktiemarknadsaktören senare av olika anledningar kan behöva avvika från denna tidigare gjorda avsiktsförklaring uppstår frågan om under vilka förutsättningar en sådan avvikelse kan godtas. Uppsatsens grundläggande syfte är således During the course of a public takeover offer, the need for a stock market actor to make statements towards the market regarding their intentions occasionally arises. For various reasons, the stock market actor may at a later stage deem it necessary to diverge from this previously made statement of intention and the question of under what circumstances such a deviation is acceptable emerges. Theref

The mechanomyogram (MMG) is a mechanical oscillations observable on the surface of the skin as a muscle contracts. Measurement of the MMG utilizing contact sensors with a weight greater than 6 g has proved to interfere with the measurement. Use of optical displacement sensors without direct contact to the skin would remove this deficiency. A Michelson interferometer, an intensity shift set-up and
The aim of the present study was to take a closer look into the evidence for a theory of prehistoric string manufacture, formulated by the British archaeologist Karen Hardy in the article Prehistoric string theory. How twisted fibers helped to shape the world (Hardy, 2008). A problem with the article, with the relevance and validity of the presented evidence as substance for the theory, was the mi
Sweden is striving to fulfill Vision Zero, a road traffic safety project that aims to prevent people from getting killed or seriously injured in traffic. To further improve safety and accessibility of the existing roads, widening of roads can be performed. The purpose of this thesis is to identify and summarize different variants of construction for road widening, using the existing data and exper
Sammanfattning Vi har gjort en kvalitativ studie och intervjuat individer med en tidigare missbruksproblematik och kriminellbakgrund. Alla utom en av intervjupersonerna har deltagit i ett 12-stegsprogram. Det finns hjälp att få som missbrukare genom behandling, men det är ändå inte alla som klarar av att sluta fast den hjälpen finns. Det är viktigt och intressant att undersöka varför det är så. VWe have made a qualitative study that started from interviewees with substance abuse problems. All of the interviewees have a background as criminals and addicts and three of them have participated in twelve-step program. There is treatment that is intended to support and help addicts, but it's still not all that manage to get out of their addiction. That makes it important and interesting to
Mögel som växer inomhus har påvisats orsaka ohälsa som andningsbesvär, allergi och eksem. Eftersom vi tillbringar större delen av våra liv i inomhusmiljöer är det viktigt att hitta lösningar på detta problem. Eftersom det finns mögelsporer i luften och går det inte att undvika att få in dem i våra byggnader. Det som går att göra är att förhindra sporerna från att gro. Syftet med detta projekt har Mould growing indoors has been shown to cause health problems such as respiratory disorders, allergies and eczema. Since we spend most of our lives in indoor environments, it is important to find solutions to this problem. As mould spores are present in the air one cannot avoid getting them into buildings, but it is possible to prevent the spores from germinating. The purpose of this project was t

Vår nuvarande skattelagstiftning är ett resultat av den skattereform som fortlöpte under 90-talet. Syftet med den nya skattelagstiftningen var att skapa ett effektivt skattesystem som också var förtroendeingivande. För att uppnå detta tog man fasta i några grundläggande rättsprinciper, vissa med en gedigen historia och vissa som var nyare på området. Några exempel är legalitetsprincipen, neutralitThe current Swedish tax regulation is a result of the tax reform in the 1990’s. Its purpose was to create a new more effective tax system that would also be trusted by the people. In order to achieve this several principles were taken into consideration, some newer and some with a long history. The principle of legality, the principle of neutrality and the taxability principle are some of the exam

A set of financial variables is tested as well as the industry-specific effect and the effect of being venture capital backed. Interaction terms between industry and venture capital backing are created to identify the effect of being venture capital i
In the last decades, Bose-Einstein Condensates (BECs) have been a research topic of great interest. In 2015, a new type of liquid was found - dilute self-bound BEC droplets that have orders of magnitude lower density than air. These droplets are not predicted by classical van der Waals theory, but are stabilised by quantum fluctuations. In this bachelor thesis, these droplets were numerically stud
Denna studie fokuserar på en sedimentsekvens som hämtats från Odensjön, i Söderåsens nationalpark i Skåne, södra Sverige. Den undersökta sekvensen, som täcker de översta 86 cm av sedimenten, är unik på grund av dess väldigt tydliga årsvarv, som har möjliggjort en precis datering (Hertzman in prep.). Tilläggsvis, den stora mängden välbevarade Fagus sylvatica-blad synliga i sedimenten yngre än cirkaThis study focuses on a sediment sequence retrieved from Lake Odensjön, positioned within Söderåsen National Park in Scania, southern Sweden. The investigated sequence, covering the uppermost 86 cm of sediments, is unique due to its very distinct annual varves, which have allowed for precise dating (Hertzman in prep.). In addition, the large amount of well-preserved Fagus sylvatica leaves visible
Tunisia is where all hope and rebellion started. After the self-immolation of Mohamed Bouazizi in 2010, the Jasmine Revolution spread to other Arab countries leading to the famous Arab Spring. Tunisia is depicted as the model of democratic transition in the Arab region and in the West. Transitional justice mechanisms have been implemented in the country, notably a Truth and Dignity Commission aimi
Preservation of digital records is still very much an open issue within large parts of the Swedish public sector. An ongoing work of coordinating the digital preservation in the public sector is carried out by the Swedish National Archives, but, as of yet, the results are limited, and much remains to be done. The issue of digital preservation is also inherently one that will require a lot of diffe
