The aim of this study was to evaluate nursing students' experiences of being assessed by means of the
Currently, over 100 high-volume chemicals have been classified as endocrine disrupters. One of these is nonylphenol, which was used as the model compound in this study. This substance originates mainly from the degradation of non-ionic surfactants (nonylphenol ethoxylates) which are widely used in industrial and domestic applications. Hence, nonylphenol is widespread in the environment. Under anae
Popular Abstract in English Psychotropic pharmaceuticals include various groups of chemicals that have been designed to affect neurochemistry in human consumers resulting in changes in cognition, mood, and/or behavior; many target specific receptors and subsequently alter neurotransmitter levels in the central nervous system. The use of pharmaceuticals by consumers results in the release of these Psychotropic pharmaceuticals have been shown to exert a variety of sublethal effects on non-target organisms, even at low concentrations found in the environment (ng/L to µg/L); hence, the aim of my research has been to determine the individual-level effects of psychotropic pharmaceuticals (the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors sertraline and fluoxetine, and the β-blocker propranolol) on beh
Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingen kretsar kring centralbankens möjligheter att kontrollera inflationstakten. Under senare tid har mycket forskning ägnats åt att analysera och utvärdera de institutionella förutsättningarna för centralbanker, såväl avseende graden av oberoende som vilka mål penningpolitiken bör inriktas mot; exempelvis direkta inflationsmål versus användandet av indirekta målAfter an introductory chapter, the hypothesis is made in chapter two: that central bank power to control the rate of inflation rests on the bank’s ability to achieve a role as a focal point for inflation. Inflation is a measure of changes in the general price level, the price level is an index of individual prices, and to predict future price levels is thus to predict future prices on individual i
Background: Comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA) represent an important component of geriatric acute hospital care for frail older people, secured by a multidisciplinary team who addresses the multiple needs of physical health, functional ability, psychological state, cognition and social status. The primary objective of the pilot study was to determine feasibility for recruitment and retentio
Reglerna om beskattning av fåmansföretag introducerades i samband med skattereformen 1990/91. Sverige fick då en dual skattemodell, och för att inte ägarna till aktiebolag skulle få orimliga skatteförmåner bestämdes att dessa skulle omfattas av vissa särskilda bestämmelser. Uppsatsen syftar till att redogöra för neutralitetsprincipens inverkan på dessa regler om fåmansföretag, dels ur ett historisThe special regulation on close companies was introduced in connection with the tax reform of 1990/91. Sweden received a dual model for taxation, and in order to not give the owners of close companies unreasonably beneficial tax privileges, there had to be certain rules considering these companies. This paper aims to portray the principle of neutrality’s effect on said rules, not only on today’s r

The developed method was found to be
Efter andra världskriget dömdes de högsta nazisterna till dödsstraff och fängelse för de internationella brott som de begått under krigsåren. Detta mötte dock kritik. Syftet med arbetet har varit att undersöka delen av kritiken avseende att Nürnbergprocessen inte varit förenlig med legalitetsprincipen som är en viktig princip för rättssäkerheten.

Dispositionsprincipen är en av de grundläggande principerna inom den svenska civilprocessen. Principen stadgas i 17 kap. 3 § i den svenska rättegångsbalken där det framgår att domstolen inte får meddela dom över "annat eller mera än vad part i behörig ordning yrkat" samt att domstolen i dispositiva mål inte får ta hänsyn till omständigheter som inte åberopats av en part till grund för haThe principle of party disposition is a fundamental principle in Swedish civil procedure. The principle is stated in the 3rd paragraph of the 17th chapter in the Swedish Code of Judicial Procedure where it is stated that “judgment may not be given for something else or more than that properly demanded by a party” and that judgment, “[i]n cases amenable to out-of-court settlement […] may not be bas

Forces such as globalisation, digitalisation and changes in consumer behaviour have led to a discussion among practitioners as well as scholars whether the physical retail place will stay relevant or even exist in the future. One way for brick-and-mortar retailers to stay competitive is to adopt new and innovative business models and formats, alongside a focus on the customer experience and how to
The aim of this thesis is to increase the understanding of what characterizes business models for companies selling stigmatized products in an industry experiencing a diminishing taboo. A further focus in this study is how the Internet influences the business models for these firms. In addition, the contextual dimensions that affect the business models are studied. The theoretical perspectives con
Det faktum att våld i nära relationer oftast utspelar sig inom hemmets fyra väggar gör att det följer svårigheter. Bristen på vittnen gör det besvärligt att få gärningsmannen lagförd. I en tredjedel av alla fall med våld mot kvinnor i hemmet bevittnar dock barn brottet. Trots detta förhörs barn som vittne endast i 18 % av dessa fall. Förundersökningen läggs ofta ner eftersom tillräckliga bevis intThe fact that violence in intimate relationships most often takes place in someone’s home, makes it difficult to prosecute the perpetrator in lack of witnesses. In one third of the cases regarding violence against women in intimate relationships, children are witnesses. Despite this, children are interrogated only in 18 % of these cases. The preliminary investigation is often closed because of the
