Det huvudsakliga syftet med uppsatsen är att studera hur likadelningsprincipen och dess modifikationer utformats och samspelar utifrån den jämställdhetssträvan som uttalats i äktenskapsbalkens förarbeten. Syftet med uppsatsen är därutöver att analysera huruvida denna utformning är ändamålsenlig, dels med beaktande av de samhällsförändringar som skett sedan äktenskapsbalken inrättades och dels med The main purpose of this essay is to study how the principle of equal division and it´s modifications have been formed and how they interact considering the aim towards gender equality that was pronounced during the legislative preparations. Furthermore, the purpose of this essay is to analyze whether the legislation is in accordance with the aim towards gender equality, considering the developmen

Regular physical activity is understood to be an essential prerequisite for human health for both psychological and physiological well-being. However, there are differences in participation in physical activity among different groups in society, and participation in physical activity can also change over a lifetime. The general aim of this thesis was to investigate how different life-change events

Screening for cervical cancer precursors by cytology has been very successful in countries where adequate resources exist to ensure high quality and good coverage of the population at risk. Mortality reductions in excess of 50% have been achieved in many developed countries; however the procedure is generally inefficient and unworkable in many parts of the world where the appropriate infrastructur

This article presents a study of the female amateur Aurora von Qvanten (1818–1907), and her portrait of the famous Swedish singer, Jenny Lind (1829–1887), seen in relation to the contemporary array of portraits of Lind. Von Qvanten's work in the area of portraiture is virtually unknown, as is the case with that of most women artists of her time. Source material about von Qvanten is scarce, and her

The body of international environmental law consists of framework agreements with vague norms that cannot be used in an operative manner. At the same time, sustainable development law promotes an integrated approach to social, economic and environmental issues, including other actors than states, which involves an increased pressure on private actors to take part in the efforts to protect the envi

Background The answer to whether females or males have better health, and which sex is the more disadvantaged, has depended in part on the metric and how the inequality is measured. This study introduces a new method for analyzing and interpreting sex inequalities in health outcomes—defined as the avoidable sex differences in health outcomes—that is systematic and potentially more objective. For t

Central neuraxial blocks (CNB: epidural, spinal and their combinations) and other spinal pain procedures can cause serious harm to the spinal cord in patients on antihaemostatic drugs or who have other risk-factors for bleeding in the spinal canal. The purpose of this narrative review is to provide a practise advisory on how to reduce risk of spinal cord injury from spinal haematoma (SH) during CN

BACKGROUND: Plasma biomarkers for Alzheimer's disease (AD) have broad potential as screening tools in primary care and disease-modifying trials. Detecting elevated amyloid-β (Aβ) pathology to support trial recruitment or initiating Aβ-targeting treatments would be of critical value. In this study, we aimed to examine the robustness of plasma biomarkers to detect elevated Aβ pathology at different

The use of immunotherapy for treating cancer has received a lot of attention in the recent years. The therapy is based on activating or deactivating the patient’s own immune system to help fight the disease. One way of doing this, is using bispecific molecules that can target both cancer cells and T-cells simultaneously. In 2003, a researcher found that the surface protein VAR2, expressed on mala

Geografiska data är all data som är knutna till ett geografiskt läge och används inom många olika områden i samhället såsom all form av samhällsbyggnad och samhällsplanering, klimat och miljö, kultur och natur, krishantering samt transporter och logistik. För att geografiska data ska kunna användas över läns- och kommungränser samt i olika organisationer krävs ett enhetligt system och standarder fGeographic data are data that is linked to a geographic location and is used in many different areas of society, such as all types of community and community planning, climate and environment, culture and nature, crisis management, transport and logistics. In order for geographic data to be used across county and municipal boundaries as well as in different organisations, a uniform system and stan

Near-surface remote sensing platforms such as Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) and phenocameras appear to be potential platforms for keeping track of seasonal dynamics at a local scale. This research focusses on extracting time series of different vegetation indices (VIs) from both platforms, computing seasonality events from them and comparing the results against spectral sensor data. Time series

Ensamkommande unga som flyr undan krig eller förföljelse i sitt hemland möts i det nya landet av en migrationsprocess där åldern är central för prövningen av uppehållstillstånd. Anledningarna till det är flera. Bland annat tillerkänns personer under 18 år bostad, utbildning och sjukvård. Är den av sökanden påstådda åldern tveksam startar en åldersbedömning för att utreda om han eller hon är ett baUnaccompanied children who are fleeing war or persecution in their native country meet in the new country a migration process where the age is central for the legal examination of residence permit. The reasons for this are several. Among other things, individuals younger than eighteen are granted housing, education and medical care. If the age that the applicant claims is doubtful, an age assessme

A particle accelerator consists of a large number of components, which among other things includes several acceleration modules, which consists of one or several cavities. A cavity is a complex and essential part in the accelerations process and is usually made of oxygen-free copper (OFC) or niobium. These two materials are special when it comes to metal cutting, it´s hard to find information abou

Fracture-mechanics-based avalanche failure modeling offers a promising approach for predicting slope-specific snow stability, as opposed to broader regional avalanche danger levels. Understanding slab avalanche failure through weak layer collapse, governed by both material strength and toughness, is rooted in the coupled criterion proposed by Leguillion. This thesis implements a novel algorithm to

Thermo Fisher Scientific manufacture automatic pipetting instruments for diagnostic tests. These tests are sensitive to abnormalities and changes in e.g. volume or density could potentially lead to less precision or other issues in the pipetting work flow. Utilizing data collected from a pressure sensor inside the pipette could be a way of automatically verifying different aspects related to the p

The Nuremberg Charter introduced corporate criminal liability into international law and the great American Chief Prosecutor Justice Robert Jackson gave a promise that any legal person who commits crimes prescribed by international law shall be prosecuted and punished according to international criminal law. However, during this period of time, a corporation was never prosecuted per se as the sitt

BACKGROUND. Early and accurate detection of infectious respiratory diseases like COVID-19 and tuberculosis (TB) plays a crucial role in effective management and the reduction of preventable mortality. However, molecular diagnostic tests for these infections are expensive and not easily implementable in resource-limited settings, which suffer the majority of the burden. Lung Ultrasound (LUS) presen

Title: Using scenarios to balance future requirements and capability development Author: Erik Jacobsson Division: Production Management Supervisors: Bertil Nilsson at the Technical Faculty of Lund University, Innovation Advisor at the case company Keywords: Scenarios, Corporate development, Energy Sector, Capabilities, Technology Background: The speed of change in the world is ever increasing

The phenomenon of global warming has become a fact, however; the uncertainty is about the magnitude and acceleration of its manifestations. Global mean sea level rise is one of the results induced by global warming and is happening with an undetectable accelerated pace. The world international organizations and governments are devoting efforts and initiatives in a trial to manage global warming in
