This chapter provides an overview of the multi-faceted landscape of methods used to study the steering effects of the Sustainable Development Goals. After a discussion of the political use of science and the complex relations between science and politics, the chapter showcases a selection of different methods that are employed to trace the steering effects of the Sustainable Development Goals. Sel
The Gaia-ESO Survey was designed to target all major Galactic components (i.e. bulge, thin and thick discs, halo and clusters), with the goal of constraining the chemical and dynamical evolution of the MilkyWay. This paper presents the methodology and considerations that drive the selection of the targeted, allocated and successfully observed Milky Way field stars. The detailed understanding of th
Objectives: Smoking cessation programmes in which groups of smokers have the opportunity to learn behavioural techniques and benefit from mutual support for quitting are widely available. The aim of this review is to determine the effectiveness of smoking cessation programmes delivered in a group format, for helping smokers achieve long-term smoking cessation.

Kvaliteten på dricksvatten kontrolleras av huvudmannen (ofta en kommunal organisation) som också är ansvariga för underhåll på ledningsnätet. En typ av underhållsmetod för dricksvattenlendingar är luft- och vattenspolning. Pollex AB är ett företag som bl.a. utför luft- och vattenspolning. De bedömer effekten av arbetet genom att med mätglas observera förändring i partikelinnehåll och missfärgning The quality of drinking water is controlled by the water organisation/company that delivers water to consumers, the organisation is also responsible of the maintenance of the drinking water distribution system. One method of maintenance is called air scouring. Pollex AB is a company utilizing, among other methods, air scouring. The staff assess the effect of the work by using a transparent plastic
Cyclodextrins (CDs) can form inclusion complexes with a wide variety of molecules making them very attractive in different areas, such as pharmaceutics, biochemistry, food chemistry and textile. In this communication we will report on the physico-chemical characterization of cellulose modified with CDs by means of infra-red spectroscopy (FTIR), cross polarization magic angle spinning solid state n
Political deconfessionalisation is a national objective for Lebanon, stated in the Taef agreement that ended the civil war. The consociational democracy upon which Lebanon is based, suggests a political representation of all groups in a pluralistic society. In Lebanon these groups are the religious communities and the system is referred to as confessional. The confessional system was viewed as an
The aim of this study was to highlight the relationship between individuals with professional social work education and social work practice, and how it could be understood from an employer’s point of view by using the theoretical framework of employability. In order to do so, we have conducted seven semi-structured interviews with people who are working as unit managers, operation managers or hum
Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is the sixth most frequent cancer worldwide and its high mortality rate highlights the necessity of developing novel therapies. Among the different cancer therapy methods, one of the most encouraging ones is dendritic cell (DC)-targeting immunotherapy, where desired antigens are delivered to DCs via antibodies. In this study, we investigated the freque
Background: New technologies and innovations have the power to swiftly disrupt complete industries across the globe. This puts pressure on companies to understand how new technologies could change future product offerings and impact the business model. Purpose: The purpose of this study is to provide an example of how new technology will generate new business models. This study is done as a case s
Inledning Tjänstefelsbestämmelsen återfinns i 20:1 BrB och har diskuterats kriminalpolitiskt under lång tid, vilket medfört att tjänstefelsansvarets stränghet varierat. Frågeställningen blir då vilka argument som framförts för och mot kriminalisering av tjänstefelsgärningar och vilka kriminaliseringsbegränsande principer som kan anföras för och mot kriminalisering av tjänstefelsgärningar. Syftet mIntroduction The misconduct provision is found in 20:1 in the Penal Code and has been discussed in criminal policy for a long time, resulting in that the severity of the misconduct responsibility has varied. The question that follows is what arguments that are presented for and against the criminalization of misconduct offences and which criminalization limiting principles that can be set in contr
The raising of fur animals is generally a polluting activity, today and historically. This study is focused on the breeding of minks. I concluded that this is an industry that has significantly polluting places it have been active on. The main and most interesting source of contamination is the use of pesticides, which always has been frequently used. The pesticides used often entail very high ris
Title: Food on medieval and early modern castles The purpose of this thesis is to discuss the food that was eaten on Scandinavian castles from the late Middle ages and the early modern period. This is done from a power perspective, to see if the nobility that lived on the castles used food to manifest their power. What kind of food did the nobility eat to differ from common people? The way the foo
Syftet med studien har varit att undersöka om det finns speciella förändrande ögonblick i terapier, hur de förändrande ögonblicken i så fall märks och om det medvetet går att skapa förändrande ögonblick. Det är en kvalitativ studie och öppna intervjuer genomfördes med sex psykoterapeuter angående deras erfarenheter och upplevelser i ämnet. Samtliga psykoterapeuter hade någon gång upplevt speciellaAbstract The purpose of this study has been to investigate and describe if special changing moments exist in psychotherapy, how the moments experienced by the therapist and if the moments can be created intentionally by the therapist. This is a qualitative study of therapist experiences of special moments in their work as therapist and their description of these. Open interviews with six psychothe
55 m.ö.h. på Balsbergets södra sluttning finner man en av Sydsveriges största grottor, Balsbergsgrottan. Ungefär 250 meter vindlande gångar grenar sig ut från två större salar. Grottan har en rik historia, både ur ett geologiskt och ett funktionalistiskt perspektiv. De sedimentära bergarterna som bildades för 100 miljoner års sedan lade grunden till, att det efter förra istiden kunde bildas en gro55 meters above sea level on the southern slope of Balsberget you can find one of southern Sweden's largest caves, the Balsberg cave. Approximately 250 meters winding paths branch out from two large halls. The cave has a rich history, both from a geological and a functional perspective. The sedimentary rocks, formed 100 million years ago, laid the foundations for the advent of a cave here afte
During the late 20th century the bookmarket has undergone several major changes. Economic difficulties, tax reforms and countenance politics have made the market what it is today. Best selling books have larger share of the market at the cost of higher quality literature and this may result in fewer published titles. Poetry is a genre that is representative for quality literature and is considered
As technology advances and population rises, requirements for everyday doors change. In the industrial sector, companies have to keep up with the increase in supply and demand. A well-functioning industrial folding door contributes to a steady flow of goods. Folding doors come in many different sizes and are often installed in narrow spaces. In order for any door supplier to stay competitive, offe
The geometric and electronic structure of condensed phase organic conducting polymer PEDOT:PSS blends has been investigated by periodic density functional theory (DFT) calculations with a generalized-gradient approximation (GGA) functional, and a plane wave basis set. The influence of the degree of doping of the PEDOT polymer on structural and optical parameters such as the reflectivity, absorbanc
We report on the synthesis of non-tapered wurtzite (WZ) GaP nanowires by use of in-situ etching and the structural and optical characterization thereof. HCl was evaluated as an in-situ etchant in order to impede the onset of radial growth since the WZ crystal phase in GaP nanowires preferentially grows at relatively high growth temperatures around 600 degrees C, at which strong radial growth typic
