“Abuse – That’s not really a factor in my world”: A qualitative study about how abuse is defined and constructed within geriatric care Nursing homes have increasingly come under attack in recent years for scandals involving the abuse of elderly care-takers within their organisations. The purpose of this study was to determine how abuse can be defined by the staff within geriatric care in nursing

Genotyping of hepatitis C virus (HCV) is important because of its clinical and epidemiological implications. We report here the distribution of HCV genotypes in various patient groups in Finland using a rapid and reliable HCV typing method based on restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) of the amplified DNA from the 5' non-coding region of the genome. The reaction product from the primary

Köp av sexuell tjänst har i Sverige varit förbjudet sedan 1999. Införandet av förbudet var en del i arbetet mot mäns våld mot kvinnor. Lagen har därefter genomgått en rad ändringar, senast en straffskärpning 2022. I december 2022 publicerade Norges regering en offentlig utredning där ett förslag på avkriminalisering av sexköp presenterades. I Norge inspirerades man 2009 av den svenska modellen ochThe crime of purchase of sexual services has been criminalized in Sweden since 1999. The introduction of the ban was part of the work against men's violence against women. The law has subsequently undergone a series of changes, most recently a toughening of the penalty in August 2022. In December 2022, the Norwegian government published a public inquiry in which a proposal for the decriminaliz

Production of building materials is connected to a great deal of environmental degradation, and demand for materials is expected to increase. Currently, the construction industry is responsible for 23 % of the global GHG emissions, 40 % of the raw materials consumed globally, and 32 % of the waste generated in Europe. With urbanization and an increasing population, more buildings are needed in the

Trust is considered one of the main preconditions for good democratic governance. Trust in political systems facilitates effective policy implementation and rule due to increased government compliance. Due to the importance of trust for democratic political systems, in this paper I study the factors that cause trust for the EU, focusing on the relationship between citizens trust for national insti

Syftet med uppsatsen är att försöka förstå varför mentala problem vid ett framträdande i sång uppkommer samt att hitta lösningar till dessa. Bakgrunden till att jag vill skriva om detta är att jag under praktiker och arbeten med sångelever märkt att just mentala problem ofta hindrar människor från att bland annat framträda inför en publik. Dessutom känner jag mig själv hindrad av denna typ av prob

När brottsutredande myndigheter använder hemliga tvångsmedel kan det framkomma uppgifter som saknar samband med det brott som föranlett tvångsåtgärden men som kan vara av relevans för andra brottsutredningar. Sådan så kallad överskottsinformation är särskilt känslig ur integritets- och rättssäkerhetssynpunkt eftersom uppgifterna har inhämtats utan vare sig rättens eller den berördes tillstånd. UpWhen law enforcement authorities use secret coercive measures, information may emerge that is unrelated to the crime that induced the coercive measure, but which may be relevant to other criminal investigations. Such so-called surplus information is obtained without permission of the court or the person concerned. Therefore, it is particularly sensitive and risks entailing excessive interference w

Author: Ebba Eiroff Title: Students narratives of loneliness Supervisor: Kristina Göransson Assessor: Mats Hilte The aim for this qualitative study was to examine university students experiences of loneliness based on Erving Goffman’s dramaturgy theory, together with the conceptions of normality, shame and guilt. How students describe feelings of loneliness and how they relate their experiences t

The topic of my article is Object Shift and optionality, mainly from a Swedish viewpoint. I present the result of a survey, which shows that informant‟s intuitions concerning the wellformedness of shifted and non-shifted sentences vary to a large degree. For sentences with monotransitive verbs and monosyllabic object pronouns, such as den (it.common) ‟it‟, the shifted alternative is preferred, whe

This paper presents a joint experimental and large eddy simulation (LES) study of lean premixed low swirl stabilized methane/air flames at different Reynolds numbers (Re similar to 20,000-100,000). The aims are to investigate the sensitivity of the structures and dynamics of low swirl flames to the inflow boundary conditions and to evaluate the capability of an LES flamelet model in predicting the

This paper examines factors that triggered widespread currency and banking crises in Latin America during 1990-2010 by looking at specific macroeconomic and financial variables. The paper aim to contribute to the vast literature of financial crises by distinguishing itself in three ways. First, the paper implements a dynamic binary choice panel data model with fixed effects. The binary choice mode

Diarrhoeal disease is the second leading cau- se of death in children under five years old, and is responsible for killing around 525 000 children every year. The spread of diseases is also a problem in our western society. Thanks to our developed me- dical infrastructure not to the extent as in de- veloping countries. Nevertheless the amount of work and school hours missed because of preven

Abstract: This research explores the experiences of Somali woman students, to gain an understanding on how the subgroup interacts within and around campus, in relation to their race, gender and cultural identity. This research aims to acknowledge the multiple barriers and factors which may aid or hinder their experiences. The findings allowed for thematic analysis. The study observed that the par

In a labor market increasingly defined by global competition, technological advancements and the need for organizational agility, the Swedish Co-Determination Act (Medbestämmandelagen, MBL) plays a pivotal role in balancing employers’ need for flexibility with employees’ right to influence decisions affecting their work conditions. Section 11 of MBL, which regulates the employer’s duty to negotiat

The Goto-Kakizaki (GK) rat represents a model of hereditary non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM), characterized by nonobesity, mild hyperglycemia from early life, impaired glucose tolerance test results, and a markedly defective insulin response to glucose. The rats develop signs of both nephropathy and neuropathy, but, to our knowledge, retinal changes have not been reported so far in

Clay boards are emerging as a sustainable alternative to gypsum boards for fire protective linings in timber structures. However, their fire behaviour is still not well understood. Most existing studies focus on full scale systems, which show when a board fails but not why it fails. This thesis addresses this gap by investigating two commercial clay board variants with different compositions, dens

Purpose: We examine how IFRS 13 Level 3 fair value measurement continues to be treated as epistemically adequate by preparers, auditors, regulators, and users, despite requiring measurements whose correctness cannot be independently confirmed against any observable market transaction. We introduce the concept of Epistemic Fragility to name this condition and explain both how it persists and how th

Acoustophoresis, the manipulation of microscopic particles by acoustic forces, has found growing use in biomedical applications ranging from blood-cell separation to single-cell positioning in microfluidic chips [1,2,3,4]. Existing multimodal control algorithms for such devices were developed under the assumption that particles do not influence one another. This simplification holds when only one
