Bakgrund: Sjuksköterskor i vården kommer möta patienter som av olika anledningar har skadat sig själva. Alla personer som söker vård ska behandlas med respekt och värdighet. Men personer som söker vård för självförvållade skador upplever ett negativt bemötande vilket leder till att de blir avskräckta att söka vård i framtiden. Ett bristande bemötande kan innebära ett onödigt vårdlidande för personBackground: Nurses in healthcare will encounter patients who for various reasons have harmed themselves.

The assessment of national compliance with the ratified ILO Standards may help to find out the good practices to be followed by
An engineer always strive to help in the continuous exploration of the unknown. By doing so we go further out in space and further down in scale. This is the case with microfluidics which in the last years have gotten a lot of attention. This thesis will examine and better try to understand and optimize a fluidic system that uses ultrasonic trapping. Its application may be everything from enrichin
Denna uppsats behandlar tillkomsten av 1934 och 1941 års steriliseringslagar. En kronologisk genomgång av utredningarna som föregick lagarna följs av ett avsnitt med tankar kring steriliseringarna från nutida författare. 1929 års steriliseringsutredning präglas av rashygieniska tankar. Man ville att steriliseringslagen skulle omfatta sinnesslöa, sinnessjuka och fallandesjuka.

A chronological review of the enquiries preceding the laws is followed by a chapter with thoughts about the sterilizations from contemporary authors. The enquiry concerning sterilization from 1929 is characterized by eugenic thoughts. They wanted the law to be applicable on the feeble-minded, the insane and
This literature study aims to investigate prior knowledge of the effects of heavy metals on amphibians in freshwater environments. The methodological approach for the study is based on extensive searches in the database called Web of Science. These searches then gets narrowed down with the help of with strategic search words for the subject at spotlight. The final combination of searched words, to
As we know our population keeps growing and our cities are getting denser, urban sprawl is a phenomenon that affects a big part of our society. Research has shown that urban sprawl lacks consideration for human interactions and has an absence of proper urban planning. Multiple types of barriers have made it more and more difficult to create a sense of community within this environment. Moreover, d
One of the main qualities of life in Icelandic society is the earth’s heat that has been harnessed and fed into the homes of the citizens. The swimming pool is the clearest and most visible manifestation of these qualities of life. Bathhouses are a regular part of many people’s daily lives, and human life in the pools is a fascinating part of Icelandic society. Architecture plays a key role there,
Anomaly detection is important in many different areas, among them web security. When performing anomaly detection in web security there can be hundreds of features in the collected web traffic data to consider, even though all of them might not be necessary. This thesis aims to develop a strategy to dynamically create significant parameter groups from web traffic data containing over 100 features
There are multiple things you can do at the public library such as study, borrow books and use the computers. The purpose of this master thesis is to understand what opinions the visitors to Lund Municipality's public library have about the process of looking for books in the library.

The Swedish school has a democratic mandate to prepare students for life in a society where many important decisions need to be made which require an ability to critically examine and evaluate different arguments. This applies particularly to climate change that will bring changes at all levels of society. Textbooks are important for the education provided in schools as they often define the topic
A central part of the risk assessment of contaminated sites is to conduct surveys of the area to assess the need for remediation. Through literature and interview studies this essay examined how geophysical methods can help to improve the environmental risk assessment of contaminated sites in Sweden. The results point to five main strengths in combining geophysical methods with the conventional me
Bridges constructed without joints function to take care of forces by introducing bending moments to the stiff connections. Jointless bridges, also called integral bridges, in different appearances are built all over the world, and are popular due to their advantages regarding life cycle cost. Usually the dimensions of the structural parts, especially the backwalls, tends to be large and the eleme
The recent advent of 3DSG in the computer vision domain has brought powerful high-level representations of 3D environments. These representations strive to mimic human perception and facilitate the extraction of meaningful insight from visual data. This research has led to framework like Hydra, which creates a real-time, persistent spatial perception system that creates a complete 3D map of their
English teachers in Swedish upper secondary school often focus on Standard British and American English, although they agree with the syllabus that different varieties of English should be included in teaching. This study aimed to investigate to what extent English teachers include different varieties of English in the classroom. Previous work has failed to provide a comprehensive overview of the
En viktig förmåga hos naturvetarstudenter är att kunna kommunicera sitt ämne på ett förståeligt sätt till lekmän. Forskning visar dock att inte alla naturvetarstudenter uppfyller detta krav – ett problem som delvis kan härledas till det svårförståeliga naturvetenskapliga språket. Ett sätt att göra naturvetenskapen begriplig för lekmän, och för studenterna själva, kan vara populärvetenskaplig kommuIt is important that natural science students are able to communicate their expert knowledge to laymen. Research shows however that not all students fulfill this demand, which might be due to the complexity of scientific language. One way of making natural science easier to understand, both to laymen and the students themselves, is to use popular scientific communication. The purpose of this study
Measurements in a road tunnel in Stockholm, Sweden give the real-world traffic emission factors for a number of gaseous and particle pollutants. These include 49 different polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH), CO, NOX, benzene, toluene, xylenes, aldehydes, elements and inorganic/organic carbon contained in particles, the sub-micrometer aerosol number size distribution, PM2.5 and PM10. The exhaus
The Kaposi's, sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) complement control protein (KCP) inhibits the human complement system, and is similar in structure and function to endogenous complement inhibitors. Other inhibitors such as C4d-binding protein and factor H, as well as the viral homologue vaccinia virus complement control protein are known to bind heparin and, for the two latter, also to glycosam
Neisseria meningitidis (meningococcus) is an important cause of meningitis and sepsis. Currently, there is no effective vaccine against serogroup B meningococcal infection. Host defense against neisseriae requires the complement system (C) as indicated by the fact that individuals deficient in properdin or late C components (C6-9) have an increased susceptibility to recurrent neisserial infections
