Despite Sweden having implemented strict laws against child abuse and adopting the Convention on the Rights of the Child into law, child abuse remains a significant societal issue. Although it is clear that legal changes play a role in strengthening the protection and rights of children, legislation and actual circumstances do not always align. This study aimed to highlight different experiences o
Bacillus macerans cyclodextrin glycosyltransferase (CGTase) (EC 2.4.1.19) was covalently immobilised on Eupergit C and used in a packed-bed reactor to investigate the continuous production of long-carbohydrate-chain alkyl glycosides from alpha-cyclodextrin (alpha-CD) and n-dodecyl-(1,4)-beta-maltopyranoside (C(12)G(2)beta). The effects of buffer ion strength and pH, and enzyme loading on the immob
There is a rising demand for decarbonizing the building sector since it significantly contributes to global carbon emissions. With a focus on the mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems specifically, this master’s thesis explores the embodied carbon within these building service systems. Utilizing established life cycle assessment methodologies, the case study thoroughly examines the embodied
Homelessness is a major concern in todays society. Nevertheless, the place of the church S:ta Clara in Stockholm, Sweden, has an individual will to diminish homeless individuals and improve their standard of living. The purpose of this bachelor’s thesis is to investigate the place and space of S:ta Clara. It’s about the everyday life of homeless individuals who socialize and could obtain security
Social economy organisations are attributed a major role in solving societal and environmental problems and in implementing social innovations in Europe. These organisations are private entities running economic activities whose main purpose is to provide goods and services to their members or the community at large, with profits coming second. Nevertheless, these organisations are not suffici
This essay will discuss how public art is debated in Swedish newspapers. Selected artworks for this study are the mural painting Fuck the world by Carolina Falkholt; the installation Du gamla, du fria by Mattias Norström; and Peter Lindes statue of Zlatan Ibrahimovic. The artworks have been debated both by members of the public and politicians and the debates actualize questions about gender and n
År 2019 skedde en revidering av 12 kap. JB, även kallad hyreslagen. Genom lagändringen infördes nya regler för att råda bot på ett antal problem på hyresbostadsmarknaden. Ett av de problem som lagändringen syftat till att åtgärda var oskäliga hyror på andrahandshyresmarknaden, och en ny referensram för vad som utgör en skälig andrahandshyra infördes. Bestämmelsen har formen av en takregel, och staIn 2019 there was a revision of the rental legislation in Chapter 12 of the Swedish Land Code. The amendment introduced new rules to solve several problems in the rental housing market. One of the main problems addressed were unreasonable rent levels in the sublease market, and a new rule was introduced to solve this problem. The rule is a reference framework for what constitutes a legal, acceptab
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
Reviewing the historical legacy of colonialism and slavery on attitudes about race, gender and citizenship within the United States, this thesis attempts to illuminate three principle archetypes within development discourse: the Brute, the Victim and the Authority. Each of these three discursive threads, deriving from unique historical processes, provides an opposing Other against which US citizen
A new Grain stream cipher, denoted Grain-128AEAD is presented, with support for authenticated encryption with associated data. The cipher takes a 128-bit key and a 96-bit IV and produces a pseudo random sequence that is used for encryption and authentication of messages. The design is based on Grain-128a but introduces a few changes in order to increase the security and protect against recent cryp
Fungi have the capacity to cause devastating diseases of both plants and animals, causing significant harvest losses that threaten food security and human mycoses with high mortality rates. As a consequence, there is a critical need to promote development of new antifungal drugs, which requires a comprehensive molecular knowledge of fungal pathogenesis. In this review, we critically evaluate curreFungi have the capacity to cause devastating diseases of both plants and animals, causing significant harvest losses that threaten food security and human mycoses with high mortality rates.

An extensive and reliable electricity grid is essential for all sectors of society. In parts of Sweden, the electricity grid has been suffering from a lack of capacity. This is something affecting all sectors and all people in these regions. The capacity problems have however so far mainly been analyzed in a technical system perspective, focusing on incumbent actors, whereas other actors have beenAn extensive and reliable electricity grid is essential for all sectors of society.

Context. Despite swift progress in the characterisation of exoplanet atmospheres in composition and structure, the study of atmospheric dynamics has not progressed at the same speed. While theoretical models have been developed to describe the lower layers of the atmosphere, and independently, the exosphere, little is known about the intermediate layers up to the thermosphere. Aims. We aim to prov
This article examines reports of physical punishment at the national Swedish Boy Scout camp Åvatyr in 1950. The Swedish newspapers Dagens Nyheter and Expressen described the events in terms of bullying and violence, while the Camp directors declared that the reports were merely exaggerated accounts of innocent pranks and practical jokes.

Gasoline Partially Premixed Combustion (PPC) is a promising alternative combustion concept that can offer both high indicated efficiency and low exhaust emissions in terms of NOx and soot, compared to conventional diesel combustion (CDC). Previous research has shown that PPC can operate with gasoline-like fuels of varying RON numbers. Some of the most promising results come with the use of gasolin

Despite being such an important factor for individual identity, the Orthodox churches have not been sufficiently studied. In addition, the study of gender in these churches often seems formed by the impression that they do not change. This article therefore explores a seeming static feature, the gendered seating in three Syriac Orthodox parishes in Sweden from the point of view of space and agency
OBJECTIVE: Developing and validating a risk assessment tool aiming to identify older adults (≥65 years) at increased risk of possibly medication-related readmission to hospital within 30 days of discharge.DESIGN: Retrospective cohort study.SETTING: The risk score was developed using data from a hospital in southern Sweden and validated using data from four hospitals in the mid-eastern part of Swed
