BACKGROUND: The principles of palliative care were developed in hospices and specialised palliative care units and have not been sufficiently adapted to and evaluated in nursing homes. Therefore, an educational intervention from an interprofessional education perspective was performed within the project Implementation of Knowledge-Based Palliative Care in Nursing Homes. The aim of this study was t

Purpose in life, which is a central component of the eudaimonic paradigm of well-being, has been sparsely examined in adolescence. This is unfortunate as adolescence is characterised by identity development and is a key period for the onset of mental disorders. To inform future research on well-being and purpose in life in adolescents, we drew factors from several fields of research, including men

In line with the Capitalocene narrative, this thesis argues how globally prevailing social* and environmental injustices (including ecological injustices) are driven by systemic capitalist patterns of thinking. In order to enhance social* and environmental justice, it seems thus essential to tackle these. However, there does not yet exist an analytical framework providing a comprehensive overview

This paper examines youth engagement within the Global Landscapes Forum, a conference that took place in Paris, December 2015, and its contribution towards moving intergenerational equity forward. Youth are considered one of the main stakeholders when it comes to decision-making in long-term environmental issues as they are part of the current generation that are likely to face the implications of

Våld och hot som riktas mot polis, ambulanssjukvårdare och räddningstjänstper-sonal har ökat och blivit grövre under de senaste åren. I uppsatsen undersökts i vilken mån så kallad blåljuspersonal omfattas av det förstärkta straffrättsliga skyddet i 17 kap. 1-5 §§ brottsbalken. De straffrättsliga bestämmelserna omfattar våld eller hot om våld mot tjänstemän och innebär ett utökat straffrättsligt skThreats and violence directed toward the police, fire and ambulance service (Blue Light Staff) has recent years increased and is even of a more serious nature. In this thesis I examine the extent to which the emergency service are covered by the strengthened legislation in Chapter 17 §§ 1-5 of the Swedish Criminal Code (SCC). The criminal law provisions include violence and threats of violence aga

Denna uppsats undersöker NJA 2023 s. 393 (”Vapenattrappen”), och dess konsekvenser för såväl gällande rätt som domstolarnas rättstillämpning. Domen kom under våren 2023 att kritiseras hårt. I målet stod två män åtalade för försök till vapenbrott, eftersom de påstods ha försökt inneha vapen. Vapnen byttes emellertid ut mot en ofarlig attrapp av polis ca. fyra månader innan de tilltalade dök upp, vaThis paper examines NJA 2023 s. 393 ("The Dummy Weapon"), and its consequences for both current law and practical legal application. The verdict would come to be heavily criticized during the spring of 2023. Two men were prosecuted in the case. They were charged with attempted exceptionally aggravated weapons offence, since they had allegedly tried to possess firearms. The firearms had,

Many companies today are transforming their development process by leaving an old-fashioned one, like the waterfall model, behind and instead aiming for a modern process like Scrum that can keep up with today’s rapid market changes and reduce time to market lag. These companies are often aiming to become more agile and with this comes a need for short release cycles in order to get fast feedback a

Designing and developing a software product is a difficult process. The product must be usable and solve the correct problem. At the same time, the underlying code must be well written. Many projects fail to deliver or exceed their budget. This thesis explores a practical approach to software design and development that tries to adhere to both user centered design and agile development. The proces

Nödvärn är en ansvarsfrihetsgrund som stadgas i 24 kap. 1 § BrB och innebär att en otillåten gärning rättfärdigas. Om gärningsmannen vid en nödvärnssituation brukar större våld eller förorsakar svårare skada än vad nödvärn tillåter kan personen gå fri från ansvar om omständigheterna var sådana att denne svårligen kunde besinna sig. Detta följer av nödvärnsexcess som stadgas i 24 kap. 6 § BrB. Vid Self-defense is the base of a discharge system explained in chapter 24 paragraph 6 of the Swedish Penal code, which impose that an unauthorized act can be justified. If a self-defense situation occurs and a person cause greater violence or more damage than it allows, the person may avoid responsibility if the circumstances were such that he could hardly control himself. This is called excessive se

En närmast evig fråga i den svenska straffrätten är hur uppsåtsbedömningen ska utföras vid gärningspersoner påverkade av självförvållad berusning. Svensk rätt har genom historien antagit olika ståndpunkter i frågan vilka i uppsatsen utreds genom ett rättsutvecklingsperspektiv. Det rådande rättsläget undersöks genom en rättsanalytisk rättsfallsanalys av 32 hovrättsdomar från 2018. RättsfallsundersöA nearly never-ending question within the Swedish criminal law is how to assess the intent of a self-induced intoxicated offender. The Swedish legal system has during the legislative history adopted multiple positions in the topic which the essay seeks to investigate in the context of legal development. The current legal position is investigated through an analytical case study of 32 rulings from

Det har länge varit en självklarhet att sexualbrott är egenhändiga brott, något som under de senaste åren börjat luckras upp. Förändring har öppnat upp för möjligheten för svenska domstolar att döma gärningsmän för sexualbrott på distans; alltså när de begått sexuella övergrepp på internet. Det görs med hänvisning till formuleringen i brottsbalkens sjätte kapitel, om det med hänsyn till kränkningeFor a long time, it has been a certainty that sexual assaults are self-inflicted crimes. This matter, however, has begun to change. This has presented the possibility for Swedish courts to convict perpetrators of sexual offenses from a distance; that is, when the offense has occurred on the internet. The wording of the sixth chapter of the Penal Code makes this possible, if the act can be compared

Den tekniska utvecklingen inom artificiell intelligens (AI), maskininlärda algoritmer och datainsamling har möjliggjort den profilering och det automatiserade beslutsfattandet enskilda dagligen exponeras för. Profilering och automatiserat beslutsfattande består av en uppsättning tekniker, inklusive användning av algoritmer i syfte att utvinna kunskaper ur stora datamängder. Profilering är en automThe technical development in artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning algorithms and data collection has made profiling and automated decision-making possible. Individuals are exposed to AI on a daily basis. Profiling and automated decision-making consist of techniques, including the use of algorithms in order to extract knowledge from large amounts of data. Profiling is an automated process

I denna uppsats har jag undersökt den litteräre arketypen jurodivyj eller ”dåre för Kristi skull” och hur denna har utvecklats i den ryska litteraturen. Jag har kommit fram till att karaktärstypen kan porträtteras väldigt annorlunda från hur verklighetens exempel på heliga dårar har framställts i de hagiografiska helgonberättelserna. De underliggande skälen till denna utveckling går att hitta hos In this thesis, I have examined the literary archetype of the yurodivy or “fool for Christ’s sake” and how it has developed within Russian literature. I find that the character may be portrayed significantly different from the real-life yurodivy depicted in the hagiographic tales. The roots for this development are mainly found in Fyodor Dostoevsky, who constructed what is called the “stylized hol

China’s approach and response to democratization in Hong Kong have since the city’s handover back in 1997 been somewhat of a rollercoaster-esque experience. The path towards democracy has for the people of Hong Kong remained an ongoing struggle for nearly 30 years, with recent developments arguably putting an end towards any hope of future realization. This study seeks to investigate and assess Be

This is a thesis on the Gê language of Xokleng and its means of subordination. This work is based on previous publication on the Xokleng language (Urban 1985, Gakran 2005, Gakran 2015). In this highly isolation language with almost no inflection, a large set of grammatical and lexical monosyllabic particles are used to express TAM(E). The most obvious grammatical particle is the sentence final mar

This master thesis has been written during the autumn of 2007 and in the month of January 2008. It investigates how the Lean philosophy can be used in Warehousing businesses. Further it gives example of tools that can help Warehousing companies to become Leaner in their business. There is a contradiction between Lean Thinking and Warehousing practice today, since Lean strive at being just in

During 2007, a legal reform in Sweden took place, this change led to complications in interpreting the needs of individuals and the application of the laws by the governing social authorities. The aim of the thesis is to explore the underlying norms that influence social workers interpretation of young offenders needs, aged 15 to 17 years, and if the interpretations are consistent. The aim was ach

Social Work Education today places great importance to convey values such as respect in the relation between social worker and client, and to embrace a user perspective in the professional practice. Yet, many clients find themselves mistreated and ignored and experience social service work as arbitrary and inaccessible. The purpose of this study is to examine what takes place in the encounter betw

Changes in the Swedish construction code introduced in 1994 enabled the construction of wooden multistorey buildings. This resulted in an increased need for knowledge about wooden structures in the building industry. The main issue in wooden framed buildings is disturbing vibrations and noise which propagate throughout the construction. It is valuable to be able to predict the behavior of future

The options of procreation, reproduction or bringing into existence a child of a particular parentage, including motherhood, are related to the advancement of science. Nowadays it is possible for a woman to become pregnant and afterwards give birth to a child which, by using medical assistance, is actually made from other womans oocyte. The term gestational carriage refers to being pregnant and th
