Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingens forskningsfrågor är: ”Vad är det som har möjliggjort att det talas om sjuka som kunder, hur har en sådan förskjutning av föreställningen om den sjuke skett och vad medför en sådan förskjutning?” Marknadstänkandet har successivt introducerats inom sjukvården under de sista decennierna av 1900-talet. Marknadstänkandet försöker ersätta tidigare förvaltnings-Marketization of society has gradually transformed health care at the end of the 20th century. The conditions of possibility for this transformation have been the social impact of the market discourse and the discourse on patient rights. These discourses brought about a displacement of the discursive order in health care. One effect of this discursive break was that the view of the sick person was

In this paper, we consider precoder designs for multiuser multiple-input-single-output (MISO) broadcasting channels. Instead of using a traditional linear zero-forcing (ZF) precoder, we propose a generalized ZF (GZF) precoder in conjunction with successive dirty-paper coding (DPC) for datatransmissions, namely, the GZF-DP precoder, where the suffix ‘DP’ stands for ‘dirty-paper’. The GZF-DP precode

För att skapa matematiska beskrivningar av fysiska fenomen inom bland annat naturvetenskap, teknik och medicin används ofta partiella differentialekvationer. Listan med tillämpningar kan göras hur lång som helst: sådana ekvationer kan beskriva hur en snöflinga bildas, hur strukturer deformeras när de utsätts för mekaniska krafter, hur partiklar interagerar på kvantnivå, hur blodet flödar i hjärnanSplitting methods are widely used temporal approximation schemes for parabolic partial differential equations (PDEs). These schemes may be very efficient when a problem can be naturally decomposed into multiple parts. In this thesis, splitting methods are analysed when applied to spatial splittings (partitions of the computational domain) and physical splittings (separations of physical processes)

Transoesophageal echocardiography renders a better image than transthoracic echocardiography of cardiac changes especially at the atrial level, and of atherosclerotic changes in the aorta. Although several studies on stroke patients have included transthoracic and transoesophageal echocardiography, the relevance of the reported findings remains unclear because of limited information on the prevale

The soot particle size distribution was studied via numerical simulation under diesel like engine conditions using a detailed kinetic soot model. Two different mathematical methods of the soot model description have been used in this work. In the first part of the work, the method of moments is presented. In addition, a so called sectional method for the soot particle size distribution function in

Recent advancements in catchment hydrology (such as understanding catchment similarity, accessing new data sources, and refining methods for parameter constraints) make it possible to apply catchment models for ungauged basins over large domains. Here we present a cutting-edge case study applying catchment-modelling techniques with evaluation against river flow at the global scale for the first ti

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

Purpose – The purpose of this thesis is to provide an overview of all relevant peer-reviewed articles on folksonomies, social tagging and social bookmarking as knowledge organisation systems within the field of Library and Information Science by reviewing the current state of research on these systems of managing knowledge. Method – I use the systematic literature review method in order to systema

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

As cities expand and climate change effects become more intense and frequent, local governance has gained increased attention as capable of implementing the necessary measures for sustainability. One city in Brazil, Jundiaí, has managed to integrate participatory processes in its local planning and has become an example for other cities in Brazil. This city lies between a water reserve and a biolo

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

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

År 2018 införlivades Europeiska Unionens dataskyddsförordning i svensk rätt och dataskydd som ämne fick en allt större uppmärksamhet i media och i debatt. Dataskyddets framväxt började dock tidigare än så och är en viktig fråga för både enskild individ som för stat och företag. Tack vare en snabb teknisk utveckling och smarta algoritmer är personlig information en allt mer värdefull tillgång hos In 2018, the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation (the GDPR) was incorporated into Swedish law, and data protection as such was increasingly noticed and given attention in the media. However, the emergence of data protection began a lot earlier than 2018 and is an important matter as for both individuals such as the state and companies. Through rapid technological development a

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

The need for sustainable sources of food is brought about by the never-ending exploitation of natural resource that our planet has provided. The heavy dependence on animal-based foods for protein has led to major depletion of the earth’s resources. The search for a sustainable protein source has led to the increase in utilization of the rapeseed cake which is a byproduct of rapeseed oil production

It is challenging for the food industry to deliver products that satisfy consumers changing desires and needs. Baobab is a fruit that holds potential for the development of trendy food products due to its rich nutritional profile and unique rheology. Unlike most fruits, it contains a dry pulp with a moisture content of 11-12 % (Phytotrade, 2008). Despite these features, baobab has been overlooked

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

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
