Sharing travel experience on social media has become an important element of many people’s lifestyle, whether it be as a hobby, personal expression, economic rewards or other purposes. While previous studies have extensively investigated the significant role of social media in the sharing of travel experience and how it influences the travel decisions of others, very little research has examined o
This innovative book argues that meetings are a crucial feature of modern organisations, demonstrating that, contrary to popular belief, meetings are what define, represent and maintain organisations. Through an in-depth analysis of ethnographic case studies, Patrik Hall, Malin Åkerström and Erika Andersson Cederholm illustrate the inner workings of meetings, exploring phenomena such as meeting ch
Introduction: Animal-assisted and nature-based interventions in psychosocial treatment for various groups of clients have been studied internationally. However, there is little knowledge about how young adults with autism experience participation in such types of interventions. This clinical study aimed to describe the feasibility of animal-assisted and nature-based activities on a farm as a compl
Most state-of-the-art natural gas fired combined cycle (NGCC) plants are triple-pressure reheat cycles with efficiencies close to 60 percent. However, with carbon capture and storage, the efficiency will be penalized by almost 10 percent units. To limit the energy consumption for a carbon capture NGCC plant, exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) is necessary. Utilizing EGR increases the CO2 content in t
Denna uppsats behandlar ungdomsrabatten i 29 kap. 7 § brottsbalken (1962:700). Ungdomsrabatten är en reduktion som särbehandlar unga lagöverträdare i åldrarna 15–20 år vid straffmätningen. Den unge lagöverträdaren får ett avdrag på straffet baserat på dennes ålder vid gärningstillfället. Ungdomsrabatten är sedan länge en rättstradition i Sverige, men den har under lång tid kritiserats. På senare åThis thesis addresses the reduced sentence for juveniles in Chapter 29 Section 7 of the Swedish Penal Code (1962:700). The reduced sentence for juveniles is a reduction which targets young offenders aged 15–20 years when meting out of punishment. The young offender receives a reduction of the punishment based on the age of the criminal offender at the time of the crime. The reduced sentence for ju
Corrosion of prestressing steel in post-tensioned (PT) cables is a critical issue in prestressed concrete bridges, often leading to brittle and unexpected failures. This deterioration is primarily attributed to construction flaws such as inadequate grout injection and the use of poor-quality mortar. This paper presents a probabilistic model for estimating the number and spatial distribution of gro

Osteoporosis and subsequent fractures is a rapidly growing major health problem in many parts of the world. Even if prevalence and incidence are high in Europe, rate of increase is even higher in Asia. The majority of fractures occur in women underlining the importance of ovarian deficiency. Genetic factors and lifestyle greatly influence the incidence and prevalence both in men and women and the
Objective: The objective was to investigate the association between experience of violation during the past 3 months and self-rated health, taking trust (social capital), economic stress, and country of birth and parents' country of birth into account. Design/setting/participants/measurements: The 2008 public health survey in Skåne is a cross-sectional study with 55% response rate. A random sample
Popular Abstract in Swedish Uppskattningsvis 140–180 000 patienter i Sverige har förmaksflimmer. Den totala förekomsten är dock okänd eftersom vissa patienter också helt saknar symtom och därför inte har kännedom om sin sjukdom. Förmaksflimmer, som både kan vara kroniskt eller komma i attacker, innebär att förmaken inte aktivt pumpar ner blodet i hjärtats kammare. Istället sker mer okoordinerade sBackground: Oral antigoagulation treatment (OAT) with warfarin have a narrow therapeutic window and patients exhibit a highly variable doseresponse that is attributable to genetic, disease-related,and environmental factors as well as prescription and nonprescription drugs, dietary vitamin K and alcohol. The effect of warfarin treatement on blood coagulation is measured using international normaliz
GLP-1 receptor agonists may provide an alternative to prandial insulin for advancing basal insulin therapy. Harmony 6 was a randomized, open-label, active-controlled trial testing once-weekly albiglutide vs thrice-daily prandial insulin lispro as an add-on to titrated once-daily insulin glargine.RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: Patients taking basal insulin (with or without oral agents) with HbA1c 7-1
The Mediterranean Sea has been identified as one of the hotspots for climate change. Intense warming in the Mediterranean Sea may have strong implications for biological activity and ecosystem functioning. To elucidate the effects of warming on planktonic and benthic metabolism, we performed experiments under different increasing temperature regimes, ranging from three to six different temperature
The use of mobility devices, such as walking sticks and rollators, increases during the ageing process. Our aim was to explore how very old single-living Swedish women experience the use of mobility devices over time, in relation to everyday occupation. A multiple case study strategy involving quantitative and qualitative data was used. The findings indicate that the use of mobility devices, rolla
Syftet är att studera och analysera processer vars mål är att förändra vardagen för två marginaliserade grupper, så att de i större utsträckning blir delaktiga i samhället. De två undersökta grupperna är manliga unga narkomaner och äldre utvecklingsstörda. Avhandlingen består av tre geografiska perspektiv: 1) det tidsgeografiska synsättet, 2) känslan för platsen och 3) socialgeografiska teorier omThe aim is to study and analyse processes intended to change the daily lives of two marginalised groups and enable them to participate to a greater extent in the community. The two marginalised groups are young male drug addicts and older intellectually disabled. The thesis is permeated by three geographic perspectives: 1) the time-geographic approach, 2) sense of place and 3) social-geographic th
Denna uppsats beskriver nödvärnsrätten och möjligheten till att använda vapen i motvåld. Genom en rättsdogmatisk metod undersöker jag nödvärnsrätten, polisers vålds- och vapenanvändning och slutligen avgöranden där enskilda och polismän agerat i nödvärn med vapen. En medborgare i en rättsstat får inte ta rätten i sina egna händer. Vid ett brottsligt angrepp har dock enskilda och polismän rätt tilThis essay describes the right to self-defense in society and the use of weapons in counter-violence in situations of self-defense. Using a legal dogmatic methodology, I investigate the right to self-defense and then study the police´s right to practice violence and use of firearms. After this I analyze different law cases where policemen and civilians acted in self-defense with a weapon. In a st
Testamentet uppstod i Sverige på 1200-talet, som resultatet av kyrkligt inflytande. Testamentsrätten, som idag finns i ärvdabalken, har formats långsamt sedan dess. Först på 1930-talet fick testamentet sin nuvarande form i testamentslagen. Enligt gällande rätt utgörs ett ordinärt testamente av en skriftlig handling som undertecknats av testatorn och bevittnats av två vittnen. Vid nödfall eller sjuThe Swedish will first appeared in Sweden during the 13th century as a result of the church’s influence. The law of wills, a part of the Swedish inheritance code, is the result of an evolution extending from the 13th century into the 1930’s when the will was given its current form prescribed by law. An ordinary will requries a written document, signed by the testator and witnessed by two wittnesse
This thesis deals with how creative destruction of the music industry caused by digital technologies can change formal and informal norms concerning the protection of copyrighted material. In the process of creative destruction new innovations can be so great that they change people’s beliefs: in the case of the music industry the technological shift from analogue to digital technologies, in parti
This thesis is constructed on an examination of the global principles and operational methods of Socially Responsible Investment (SRI) and their linkage to Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). These phenomena have implications for the sustainable banking business, which aims to deliver banking products and services aligned with a triple-bottom-line corporate approach contributing to sustainable
