Med införandet av den gemensamma marknaden i EU ändrades förutsättningarna för regionalpolitiken. I den här undersökningen är syftet att synliggöra dessa förändringar genom att fokusera på två fenomen: regional samverkan och sub-nationell representation. I två fallstudier - E20-projektet i Västra Götaland och Region Skånes representationskontor i Bryssel - genomförs en textanalys baserad på teorie
Papperslösa i Sverige är exkluderade från staten, men organiserar sig ibland i andra sammanslutningar där de får den hjälp som medborgare får av staten. I den här studien undersöker vi hur dessa förutsättningar för deltagande i samhällslivet påverkar de papperslösas sociala kapital. Syftet är att undersöka om de får högre förtroende för gruppen de tillhör eller för samhället i allmänhet och hur fö
Syftet med denna kandidatuppsats är att utreda gränsdragningen mellan straffansvar och ansvarsfrihet vid våldsutövning i sexuella sammanhang, närmare bestämt i så kallade BDSM–relationer. För att uppfylla detta syfte utreds dels förutsättningarna för samtyckes ansvarsbefriande verkan, dels möjligheten att undgå straffansvar på grund av läran om social adekvans. Hela uppsatsen genomsyras av det sex
Paramagnetic versions of the CLEAR supports were prepared by entrapment of magnetite particles during suspension polymerization of allylamine, trimethylolpropane ethoxylate (14/3 EO/OH) triacrylate, and trimethylolpropane trimethacrylate. Swelling studies in a broad range of solvents showed comparable swelling of magnetic beads and regular CLEAR beads. The application of the magnetic beads as the
This study was aimed at increasing our understanding of environmental and parental factors influencing mode choice for children's journeys to organized leisure activities. Three hundred and fifty-seven Swedish parents of 8-11-year-old children completed a questionnaire and kept a travel diary. The design of urban environment, in which the families lived, was assessed by a group of five experts. By
Blood lipids are important cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors with both genetic and environmental determinants. The Whitehall II study (n = 5592) was genotyped with the gene-centric HumanCVD BeadChip (Illumina). We identified 195 SNPs in 16 genes/regions associated with 3 major lipid fractions and 2 apolipoprotein components at p < 10(-5), with the associations being broadly concordant with
Abstract People with psychiatric disabilities (PD) are a vulnerable group, and should be offered support and rehabilitation when needed. Day centres that provide individually matched daily occupations are an important link to provide that. The present study aimed at gaining knowledge regarding the occupations performed in day centres, in terms of the participants' descriptions of what they were do
The dissertation deals with the construction of norms of academic excellence in the Swedish discipline of history 1900-1945. The area of focus is the competition for professorial chairs in history. The legacy of the discipline viewed history as a holistic concept, binding together most humanistic disciplines. From the perspective of this legacy, the view of empirical specialization was becoming in
This article aims to share experience from a Swedish project on the introduction and implementation of Open Educational Resources (OER) in higher education with both national and international perspectives. The project, OER – resources for learning, was part of the National Library of Sweden Open Access initiative and aimed at exploring, raising awareness of and disseminating the use of OER and th
Background: In workplace health promotion, all potential resources needs to be taken into consideration, not only factors relating to the absence of injury and the physical health of the workers, but also psychological aspects. A dynamic balance between the resources of the individual employees and the demands of work is an important prerequisite. In the home care services, there is a noticeable t
We consider the problem of trajectory generation for time-optimal path tracking for the class of pseudo-omnidirectional mobile robots. An Euler-Lagrange model of the robot dynamics is derived, and by writing it on special form a convex reformulation of the path-tracking problem can be utilized. This enables the use and regeneration of time-optimal trajectories during runtime. The proposed approach
The reliability of radiation dose estimates in internal radionuclide therapy is directly related to the accuracy of activity estimates obtained at each imaging time point. The recently published MIRD pamphlet no. 23 provided a general overview of quantitative SPECT imaging for dosimetry. The present document is the first in a series of isotope-specific guidelines that will follow MIRD 23 and focus
In this paper the Dirichlet problem for a class of standard weighted Laplace operators in the upper half plane is solved by means of a counterpart of the classical Poisson integral formula. Boundary limits and representations of the associated solutions are studied within a framework of weighted spaces of distributions. Special attention is given to the development of a, suitable uniqueness theory
For optimizing and evaluating image quality in medical imaging, one can use visual grading experiments, where observers rate some aspect of image quality on an ordinal scale. To analyze the grading data, several regression methods are available, and this study aimed at empirically comparing such techniques, in particular when including random effects in the models, which is appropriate for observe
A common approach for the computational modeling of enzyme reactions is to study a rather small model of the active site (20-200 atoms) with quantum mechanical (QM) methods, modeling the rest of the surroundings by a featureless continuum with a dielectric constant of approximately 4. In this paper, we discuss how the residues included in the QM model should be selected and how many residues need
Control allocation problems, in which optimal actuator values are assigned based on desired control actions and actuator constraints, are typically formulated as constrained optimization problems. Initially, only approximate solutions to the problems were deemed tractable for real-time applications. Recently however, active set algorithms have been identified as a means for solving control allocat
