Evaluation of health-related quality of life (HRQoL) among people with diabetes has been growing in Iran over the last decade. The main aim of the current study was to systematically review the characteristics of these studies and examine quality of their findings. Persian (SID, Magiran) and English (Pubmed, Medline, Web of Science, CINAHL, Scopus, PsycINFO and ERIC) databases were systematically
This book shows that the intensity of use of energy and materials in OECD countries is diminishing over time despite falling metal and energy prices. Material demand is sometimes falling in absolute terms, but there are also a few examples of rapid growth. The supply of fossil fuels and minerals is being exhausted, in some cases at a rapid speed, but the question addressed here is whether the rat
Background: Cyclic opening and closing of lung units during tidal breathing may be an important cause of iatrogenic lung injury. We hypothesized that airway closure is uncommon in children with healthy lungs when inspiratory pressures are kept low, but paradoxically may occur when inspiratory pressures are increased. Methods: Elastic equilibrium volume (EEV) and closing capacity (CC) were measured
Negative-pressure wound therapy (NPWT) has been used for the treatment of deep sternal wound infection (DSWI) with promising results. However, questions have been raised regarding the potential risk of right ventricle (RV) rupture during treatment. In the present study, we evaluate our clinical experience of NPWT focusing on RV rupture and major bleeding complications and its potentially negative
Highly glazed buildings are designed by architects to be airy, light and transparent with more access to daylight. Their energy efficiency, however, has become questioned. Therefore, energy simulations of single skin office buildings in Sweden were carried out, using a dynamic energy simulation tool. In order to study the impact of glass on the energy use during the occupation stage, office buildi
For the very first time we present 3D simulations of planets embedded in stellar irradiated discs. It is well known that thermal effects could reverse the direction of planetary migration from inwards to outwards, potentially saving planets in the inner, optically thick parts of the protoplanetary disc. When considering stellar irradiation in addition to viscous friction as a source of heating, th
Varje år kommer ett stort antal barn och ungdomar i skolålder till Sverige. De har alla rätt till utbildning enligt Skollagen och Barnkonventionen. Många av dem börjar sin skolgång i förberedelseklasser eller på Språkintroduktionsprogram. Syftet med den här uppsatsen är att skapa förståelse för den betydelse dessa har för uppfyllandet av rätten till utbildning för nyanlända elever. I studien använEvery year a large number of children and youths of school-age immigrate to Sweden. They all have the right to education according to the Swedish education act and the Convention of the Rights of the Child. Many of them begin their schooling in preparatory classes or the gymnasium program "Språkintroduktion" (language introduction). The aim of this essay is to create an understanding of
Psykiskt störda lagöverträdare har länge särbehandlats i den svenska rättsordningen. I nästan alla rättssystem ingår ett krav på tillräknelighet som brottsförutsättning. Detta krav togs bort i den svenska straffrätten i samband med brottsbalkens ikraftträdande 1965. Att vara tillräknelig innebär att man har en viss förmåga att förstå vad man gör, och att man kan kontrollera sitt handlande. Endast Mentally disturbed offenders have for a long time been treated differently in the Swedish criminal law. In nearly all legal systems there is a requirement of accountability for criminal liability. In order to be accountable you have to possess the ability to understand your actions and to be able to control them. Only then you can be punished for a criminal act. The requirement was removed from th
Sverige ställer idag allt hårdare krav på utsläpp av växthusgaser, vilket kräver en stor omställning av vår fordonsflotta. För att nå framtida mål såsom en fossiloberoende fordonsflotta till 2030 krävs att fossila drivmedel med höga koldioxidutsläpp fasas ut mot bränslen med lägre utsläpp av växthusgaser. Idag står de fossila drivmedlen för den största delen av energiförsörjningen till transportseThis study examines the cost efficiency of reducing carbon emissions for personal vehicles by changing from petrol to either liquid bio fuels or electric operation. Based on own simulations of fuel consumption, life cycle-emissions and -production costs are derived based on existing knowledge through previous studies. The results are finally presented as ’SEK per reduced ton of CO2’; a unit that e
Vi har arbetat med trådlös kommunikation för att undersöka en möjlig lösning för att streama video från ett fordon i rörelse till en stationär mottagare. Under våra tester så använde vi video-kodnings standarderna H.264 och MJPEG. Vi testade även att använda både WiFi samt LTE som trådlösa medium för att transportera data mellan enheter. Vi utförde sedermera tester på kombinationer av dessa mediumFor our master's thesis we have worked with a company called Uniti to help them establish a system for communicating with their autonomous vehicle during a public demonstration. This included handling a video feed from the vehicle as well as assuring low latency for said feed. For the purposes of this thesis the targeted latency was below 200ms. In order to construct a solution which met our
The following paper examines discussions of feminism online and how participants orientate themselves in these. The specific case consists of a swedish separatist Facebook group for women and non-binary people. The group has over 100000 members and has a constant flow of activity where members interact with each other in different ways. Among this activity there is discussions of feminism, often l
Det har länge diskuterats huruvida PRV:s officialprövning av relativa registreringshinder bör avskaffas på varumärkesområdet. Inför den nya varumärkeslagen som trädde i kraft i juli 2011 diskuterades frågan först av Varumärkeskommittén år 2001 och sedan på nytt år 2008 efter begäran från näringslivet. Officialprövningen bibehölls dock oförändrad med motiveringen att användarna ansåg att fördelarnaIt has been discussed for a long time whether the PRV’s examination of relative grounds for refusal regarding trademarks should be abolished or not. Before the new Trademarks Act came into force in July 2011, the question was first discussed by the Brand Committee in 2001 and then again in 2008 after requests from the industry. However, the official examination remained unaffected, on the grounds
With this bachelor’s thesis, my aim is to illustrate resources and problems associated with second generation immigrants, in regards of an immigrant heritage perspective. The analysis covers second generation immigrants born in Malmö, with two Portuguese born parents recruited to Malmö as labor migrants in 1960-1970. Six semi-structured interviews were carried out with respectively six second gene
I takt med att jordens befolkning växer ökar samtidigt den totala efterfrågan på mat. Större press sätts på jordbruket att se till så att man kan möta denna efterfrågan och försörja en större population. Men det räcker inte enbart att kunna producera så mycket mat som man kan, det ska samtidigt göras på ett så ansvarsfullt och hållbart sätt för miljön som möjligt. Jordbruket har hittills varit beThis report summarizes the advantages and disadvantages of organic and conventional farming from an environmental and sustainable perspective. A sustainable agriculture system needs to be able to meet a higher demand for food due to a growing population and minimize the damage of the environment at the same time. The main critic to the organic farming system is that it produces lower yields than
Grooming är ett vedertaget begrepp för det tillvägagångssätt som förövare använder sig av för att ta kontakt med barn, ofta på internet, för att slutligen begå sexuella brott mot barnet. Internetets expansion har på många sätt gett förövare fler tillvägagångssätt att komma i kontakt med barn. En stor andel av barnen i Sverige använder sociala medier, varav många någon gång har blivit kontaktade onGrooming is an established word for the approach that perpetrators are using to contact children, oftentimes over the Internet, ultimately to commit sexual offenses against the child. The expansion of the Internet has in many ways made it easier for perpetrators to approach and contact children. The vast majority of Swedish children use social media, many of whom at some point have been contacted
The exponential-6 (exp-6) potential is an intermolecular pair potential that is widely used to model fluids at high densities. The path from molecular interaction to equation of state (EOS) for a gas is not straightforward however. Monte Carlo methods and molecular dynamics give accurate results but are too slow for demanding applications like detonation modelling or numerical simulations of react
The present study concerns the implementation of a voluntary job rotation program for individual and organizational development. In order to increase participation in job rotation programs, it is crucial to understand the phenomenon of non-participation. Accordingly, the present study aims to (a) identify reasons for non-participation from an employee perspective and (b) uncover possible hindrance
I denna uppsats undersöks den svenska djurskyddslagstiftningen och huruvida den medför ett tillräckligt starkt juridiskt skydd för djuren samt om och i vilken omfattning djurens skyddsvärde får stå tillbaka för andra intressen. De centrala författningarna är djurskyddslagen och djurplågeribestämmelsen i 16 kap 13§ BrB. I uppsatsen behandlas även material från ett flertal djurrättsorganisationer. FThis thesis aims to investigate the Swedish animal protection law and whether not it constitutes a strong enough legal protection for the animals. Also, if and how much the animals’ worth of protection is pushed back to favour other interests. The central pieces of legislation are the Animal Welfare Act and the regulation of animal abuse in the 16th chapter of the Swedish Penal code. The thesis al
This article is the product of a close chronological reading of the debate surrounding the so called ‘’ISIS-returnees’’ in Sweden during the spring of 2019. The debate itself, as well as the situation it concerned, has been treated as a discursive field where a securitization has been attempted and resisted by several actors. The study has found that an intersubjective struggle between these actor
