Introduction Both M. Supraspinatus and M. Infraspinatus of the rotator cuff play a role in stabilizing the shoulder during movement. When rehabilitating shoulders after injury a wide range of tools are used to strengthen the shoulder, often including a pulley system or TheraBand. According to evidence, no tool does however stand out as the most optimal one to use. Purpose The purpose of this study
It’s not unusual for young people these days to take and edit a selfie. With the rise of consumerist culture and the popularity of mobile Internet, nowadays selfie applications, including beauty cameras and photo-beautification applications, have become the most well-accepted products/brands among Chinese women, who have grown accustomed to showing only one exquisitely edited face in digital photo
Den nya arbetsformen gig-arbete har tagit fart på den svenska arbetsmarknaden. Idag föreligger det en gråzon kring vilken kategorisering plattformsarbetare och plattformsföretag kan sägas ha. Problemet har sin grund i att gig-företagens affärstruktur bygger på en trepartsmodell där plattformen fungerar som en mellanhand som sammankopplar arbetsgivare och arbetstagare. Detta skiljer sig från det trThe new gig-economy has established on the Swedish labour market. The labour law on the area is limited and the development has led the platform's workers to a position where it is unclear whether they belong to the category of employees or self-employed. The problem is that the business idea of a connecting platform between self-employed contractors and customers through an app is based on a
Detta examensarbete behandlar effekten av slagg som ersättningsmaterial till Portlandcement och dess påverkan på hållfasthetsutvecklingen, med krav på den tidiga hållfastheten. Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka möjligheten att förbättra betong med hänsyn till dess klimatpåverkan genom att ersätta en del av Portlandcement med ett mindre miljöbelastande bindemedel.

Abstract Sweden has during a period of time undergone a transformation from a homogeneous society to a society with diversity and is today part of the world in a different way than before. In 2019, almost 20 percent of the population had their origins in another country and in another culture. In a welfare society like Sweden, which is based on the equal rights of all people, it is important t
This thesis seeks out to examine the growing notion of an individual right to damages caused by breaches of antitrust rules within the Common Market of the European Union. The main expression of this right lies within private litigation before national courts; however, the traditional approach to antitrust enforcement in most of Europe has been public enforcement. Competition policy has been a ke
Syftet med förevarande uppsats är att utifrån en komparativ studie av svensk och engelsk rätt beskriva hur respektive lands regleringar gällande beslutanderätten vid gemensam vårdnad och parental responsibility är utformade samt vad ifrågakommande lagstiftningar innebär. Huvudregeln i svensk rätt avseende beslutanderätt vid gemensam vårdnad är att konsensus ska föreligga mellan vårdnadshavarna nThe purpose of this essay is to describe and compare the Swedish regulation concerning joint custody and the English regulation regarding parental responsibility. In Swedish law the principle rule is that both parents should make all decisions regarding a child together, if they have joint custody. In English law the starting point is that each person with parental responsibility may act alone a
Background: Several objective gait parameters are associated with cognitive impairment, but there is limitedknowledge of gait models in people with mild cognitive impairment (MCI).Research question: How can 18 objective gait characteristics be used to define different components of gait inpeople with MCI (with suspected incipient neurocognitive disorder) and cognitively unimpaired people (CU),resp
The protection that different types of buildings can provide against gamma radiation from radioactive fallout has been investigated since the late 1950s. The DCPA Standard Method has served as the basis to determine this protection, which is given by the so called “protection factor”. Several studies in the U.S. have utilized enclosed sources of radioactive nuclides to simulate fallout and test th
Background: Lewy body Dementia (LBD) is a well-known neurocognitive disorder in the elderly. The hallmarks of LBD are Parkinsonism without tremor, recurrent and persistent visual hallucinations often with insight, fluctuating cognition and alertness, rapid eye movement (REM) sleep behavior disorder with vivid dreams and violent movements, but relatively preserved memory functions. Nevertheless, LB
ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: Two-step dilute acid hydrolysis of softwood, either as a stand-alone process or as pretreatment before enzymatic hydrolysis, is considered to result in higher sugar yields than one-step acid hydrolysis. However, this requires removal of the liquid between the two steps. In an industrial process, filtration and washing of the material between the two steps is difficult, as it
Background: Our objective was to explore outcome and clinical changes in hand function, satisfaction in daily occupations, sleep disturbances, health and quality of life in consecutive patients after a severe or major hand injury. Our objective was also to investigate possible differences between groups according to severity of injury, presence of peripheral nerve injury and the patients' sense of
With the rapid development of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) industry the demand for power has also increased. ICT tends to play a significant role in global greenhouse gas emissions. It was responsible for 10% of world’s total energy consumption in 2010 and is doubling in every 10 years [1]. Cellular networks are among the main energy consumers in the ICT field. To have an environ
Förekomsten av juridiskt oskolade som ett inslag i den dömande verksamheten, är ett fenomen som existerar världen över. I Sverige har institutionen med s.k. nämndemän länge varit en del av rättssystemet. Dess rötter härstammar från det medeltida samhället, men systemet har under åren modifierats flertalet gånger och inflytandet på rättskipningen har varierat. Det huvudsakliga syftet och dess viktiThe presence of non-judicially educated in courts is a recurring phenomenon all over the world. In Sweden, the institution with lay judges (in Sweden; nämndemän) has a long history in the judiciary. It originates from the medieval era, but has over the years been modified several times and the institution’s influence over the administration of justice has varied over the years. However, the purpos
I Sverige finns ett grundlagsstadgat skydd mot påtvingade kroppsliga ingrepp som omfattar i princip alla ingrepp som görs i hälso- och sjukvård. Det innebär att all hälso- och sjukvård måste ges med patientens samtycke eller med stöd i tvångslagstiftning. I dagsläget finns ingen möjlighet att ge vård till en patient som saknar kapacitet att lämna ett giltigt samtycke om inte tvångslagstiftningen äThe Swedish constitution provides a general protection against enforced interventions. This includes practically all interventions in healthcare. The result is that all medical interventions must be supported by the patient's consent or by law. Swedish law provides no solution if a patient lacks the mental capacity to give consent for an intervention and the laws regarding involuntary treatmen
Stridsåtgärder anses vara en av grundpelarna inom svensk arbetsrätt och fungerar som ett medel att balansera ut makterna på arbetsmarknaden. Sympatiåtgärder är en typ av stridsåtgärd som regleras internationellt såväl som nationellt. Internationellt regleras sympatiåtgärder genom ILO:s konvention 87, artikel 11 i EKMR samt artikel 6 i Europeiska sociala stadgan. Nationellt är rätten till sympatiåtIndustrial actions are a part of the Swedish Model and a way to balance out the powers controlling the labour market. A component to this are sympathy measures, which are regulated both internationally and nationally. Sympathy measures are regulated through ILO Convention 87, Article 11 of the European Convention of Human Rights and Article 6 of the European Social Charter. The regulations of nati
Glulam arches can be used when designing structures with large spans such as halls or arenas. Wood has low density compared to steel and concrete which keeps down the dead weight of the structure. The cross section of glulam arches is often built up as a box-section for efficiency reasons. However, wood shows strongly orthotropic behavior where maximum allowed stress perpendicular to grain is only
The goal in this project was to design a system that will provide the women in the townships of Namibia with affordable nutritious food without having to use too much money, water or time. The system should be both built and used by the women themselves and hence be very easy and flexible. How do you get enough food to survive the day? This is something less fortunate people living in many parts o

Popular Abstract in Swedish Jämte korrosionsangrepp är skador på grund av saltfrostangrepp den vanligaste skadetypen hos betongkonstruktioner som utsätts för miljöer med fukt, salt och frost. Exempel på sådana miljöer är marina miljöer och tösaltade vägmiljöer. Betongens saltfrostbeständighet bestäms till stor del av betongsammansättningen, främst av förhållandet mellan mängden vatten och cement oAbstract This thesis presents the results of an investigation of the influence of ageing on the salt-frost resistance of concrete. The ageing mechanisms investigated were hydration, drying and carbonation. Specimens of ‘micro’-concrete, either with OPC alone as the binder or with silica or slag as part of the binder, were freeze/thaw tested at different ages after casting. Prior to testing, the sp
