I denna uppsats undersöks de möjligheter en våldsutsatt kvinna har att fysiskt åtskiljas ifrån en våldsutövande manlig partner i Sverige respektive Finland. Fokus i uppsatsen ligger vid sammanboende par. Genom studien har jag sökt efter att identifiera brister och styrkor i ländernas lagstiftning, för att sedan analysera huruvida och i vilken utsträckning lagstiftningen uppfyller ett våldsförebyggIn this thesis I examine what legal options a female victim of domestic violence has at her disposal in order to be physically separated from the perpetrator in Sweden and Finland, respectively. The subject of examination is a man and a woman in a relationship that are either married or romantic cohabitants. Through this study I have strived to identify the strengths and weaknesses in both the Swe

The aim of this study was to inquire how staff that works with youth that are placed in out of home care reason around the definition of participation. We also examined how they felt about their possibility to influence youth participation during their placement regarding the daily routines. We also looked into how the staff felt regarding their possibility to influence their work with the youth’s

While grey infrastructure, such as sea walls, have been the traditional method of mitigating coastal hazards there has been an increasing interest in adapting using natural processes, known as Nature-based Solutions (NbS). As with most places in the world, southern Sweden is facing an increase in coastal hazards due to climate change related sea level rise. There is a need to understand the utilit

This report covers the design process of a master thesis project with the aim of developing concepts for diffusers. Diffusers are objects that have the ability of spreading the sound energy evenly in a room. The diffusers were to be suitable for use as interior objects in “ordinary rooms” (schools, hospital wards, and offices). The diffusers should, through their aesthetic expression, attract arch

Vid en avvägning mellan två oförenliga riksintressen enligt 3 kap. 10 § MB ska företräde lämnas åt det intresse som på det lämpligaste sättet främjar en långsiktigt god hushållning. Uppsatsen tar sikte på att analysera vilka fak-torer som är avgörande vid en sådan bedömning. För att en avvägning enligt 3 kap. 10 § MB över huvud taget ska bli aktuell krävs inledningsvis att domstolen konstaterar aIn the third chapter of the environmental code (miljöbalk), the legal insti-tute of national interests is regulated. When two or more national interests come in conflict, a determining agency must decide which interest that will gain precedence. According to the regulation in the 10th paragraph of the third chapter of the environmental code, precedence will be given to the interests which in a lon

The purpose of this study was to explore medically trained care givers’ views on their work with people with dementia, focusing on their professional discretion and the standardized tools they use in their daily work. The aim was to gain a deeper understanding of aspects of their work that overlap with social work. The method used was qualitative semi-structured interviews with six caregivers, wor

Downstream processing is an essential part in the production of biomolecules and the optimization of these processes are of great value, since they can be both time consuming and expensive. One common type of enzyme used in different biotechnical approaches is proteases and in this study Protease X was investigated. In order to use the enzyme in a process, a purification procedure needs to be esta

DNA barcodes carry coarse-grained genetic information of DNA sequences taken from a genome. Potential applications include bacteriology, medical diagnosis and taxonomy. However, the current state-of-the-art tools for extracting DNA molecules from cells provide only fragmented pieces of chromosomal DNA. As a consequence, also DNA barcodes are fragmented. This calls for the development of complement

Intresset för probiotika har vuxit de senaste åren. Förutom att vara ha en förebyggande effekt och vara en effektiv behandling mot akut diarré, finns det forskning som indikerar att probiotika kanske kan användas för att förebygga andra sjukdomar, t.ex. tjocktarmscancer. Utmaningen med probiotika är att för att den ska ha någon effekt, krävs det att tillräckligt många levande bakterier når tjocktaThe interest in probiotics has grown in the last few years. In addition to being effective in treating and preventing acute diarrhea, there are indications that it might be possible to use probiotics to prevent other diseases such as colon cancer. The challenge with probiotics is that for it to have any effect, enough viable bacteria must reach the colon. To deliver live probiotics to the colon, i

The aim of this study is to explore relations between the Amazonian indigenous people Airo-pai and the animals and spirits inhabiting their natural environment. The thesis analyzes how non-human animals and spirits interact with Airo-pai during rituals and subsistence activities in their everyday life. The findings are based on empirical material collected from February to March 2018 in Bellavista

“- However, if you believe that relieving pain with pills is the cure, you are putting your head in a bush. A bush of thorns” – A critical discourse analysis of mental illness in the Swedish daily press The aim of this study was, from a discourse analytical approach, to investigate similarities and differences in how it was talked about mental illness in the past and how it¬ is talked about menta

This thesis describes the development of an autonomous weeding vehicle for the agricultural industry. It has been done as a project at RMIT University in Melbourne and the aim was to develop a design for the vehicle which could later be used to develop a commercial product. The current trend in the agricultural industry is larger machines that can benefit from economies of scale. These heavy mac

Popular Abstract in Swedish Introduktion Aggressivt antisocialt beteende utgör en stor utmaning för dagens samhälle, och undersökningar av vad som ligger bakom ett återkommande sådant beteende behövs för utvecklingen av våldspreventiva insatser. Syften & Metod Syftet med avhandlingen var att identifiera faktorer som samvarierar med återkommande aggressivt antisocialt beteende. De specifika måIntroduction Aggressive antisocial behavior is a major challenge to society, and studies on the determinants of its persistence are essential to the development of strategies to prevent violence. Aims & Methods The overall aim of the thesis was to establish covariates of persistent aggressive antisocial behavior in a population-based cohort and in clinically evaluated, prospectively followed,

Lead in blood is a major concept in biomonitoring of exposure but investigations of its alternatives are scarce. The aim of the study was to describe different lead biomarkers' variances, day-to-day and between individuals, estimating their fraction of the total variance. Repeated sampling of whole blood, plasma and urine were conducted for 48 lead-exposed men and 20 individuals under normal envir

In order to ensure that ovarian cancer patients access appropriate treatment to improve the outcome of this disease, accurate characterization before any surgery on ovarian pathology is essential. The International Ovarian Tumor Analysis (IOTA) collaboration has standardized the approach to the ultrasound description of adnexal pathology. A prospectively collected large database enabled previously

Background: The individual contribution of genes in the HLA region to the risk of developing type 1 diabetes (T1D) is confounded by the high linkage disequilibrium (LD) in this region. Using a novel approach we have combined genetic association data with information on functional protein-protein interactions to elucidate risk independent of LD and to place the genetic association into a functional
