This study is based on an observation of one of the biggest webcommunitys in Sweden today, called Lunarstorm. My main purpose was to research how young people use this media for talking about drug and alcohol-related subjects. The questions I posed were the following: - In which way do young people talk about drugs and alcohol on Lunarstorm? - What possibilities does Lunarstorm create for these
Abstract This thesis discusses ideological and rhetorical change of the Moderate Party of Sweden. The aim of the thesis has been to study the party during a time-span of almost 20 years, trying to identify changes related to each of the three party leaders. A hypothesis was developed, suggesting that the three party leaders each represented a different kind of ideology namely neo-conservatism, n
The aim of this essay was to look into and compare the experiences and opinions about the practice of 13 § LVM among persons that, through their profession, use the law.

Our purpose with this paper was to examine what effect a parent's drinking problem can have for the children in the family. A combination of literature study and qualitative interview analysis was used. The most important research questions were: How do the parent's problems affect the child? In what ways can the social network around the child help it to develop normally despite problems
One of the most common reasons for a firm to merge is that a merger is believed to generate economic efficiency. This argument has different aspects as mergers may yield efficiency gains in various ways. Economists often distinguish between three different classes of efficiencies: Allocative efficiency, productive efficiency and dynamic efficiency. All three classes are relevant in the analysis of
There are a limited number of scientific studies concerned with the evaluation of DSS in general, and even less concerned with the evaluation of DSS in a clinical context. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical DSS at the Department of Orthopedics at Sahlgrenska University Hospital in order to answer how one should evaluate clinical DSS. We have in our study created a research frame
Studien undersökte hur självkänslan har förändrats hos 7-9-åriga barn i Sverige idag jämfört med 1981-83.

Understanding and assessing the existing welfare structures and patterns in developing countries is essential for the aim of eradicating poverty around the globe. In this case study welfare patterns, accessible by female commercial sex workers operating in a slum area of Kampala, Uganda are investigated. Led by the welfare regime theory by Gough and Wood, information regarding formal and informal
The social network analysis is a method on studying social relations which is becoming more and more popular on the arena of social science. This thesis examines, in the perspective of sociology of law, how well the above mentioned method can be used on studying criminal networks which are specialized on narcotic crimes. The basic idea for this thesis is that criminal networks are often based on t
Studien är en explorativ tvärsnittsstudie som undersöker vilka faktorer behandlingspersonal tar hänsyn till under patientfördelningsprocessen inför psykoterapibehandlingar. Studien är en enkätundersökning med 107 deltagare, utförd på sju mottagningar, inom Region Skånes öppna vuxenpsykiatri. Undersökningen kartlägger hur matchningsbesluten tas idag och huruvida detta skiljer sig från personalens uThis is an explorative cross-sectional study that aims to investigate which factors that are being taken into account when patients are being distributed amongst therapists before participating in psychotherapy. A survey was conducted among 107 psychiatric healthcare workers at seven adult outpatient psychiatric care centers in Region Skåne. The study maps how the matching decisions are made today
Sammanfattning Barn och ungdomar kan av staten, på olika grunder, bli placerade på hem för vård eller boende; HVB-hem som drivs i privat regi. Detta kan bli aktuellt om den unge skadar sig själv eller har allvarliga problem i hemmiljön enligt Lagen om vård av unga (LVU) 2-3§§. Målet är att de placerade individerna ska återanpassas till samhället. För att de ska bli återanpassade behöver de vård påSummary Children and adolescents can due to various reasons be placed in rehabilitation- or juvenile foster care, so called HVB-hem, by the state. These institutions are many times managed by private corporations. Rehabilitation- or juvenile foster care can become a reality for a child or adolescent if it is harming itself intentionally or is exposed to severe problems in their domestic environmen
Ne bis in idem är en av straffprocessens grundpelare. Principen innebär att en person inte får lagföras eller straffas för samma gärning som denne har blivit frikänd eller dömd i ett tidigare förfarande. Ne bis in idem uttrycker förbudet mot dubbelbestraffning. Detta är en mänsklig rättighet som skyddas genom artikel 4 i sjunde tilläggsprotokollet Europakonventionen samt artikel 50 i EU:s rättigheNe bis in idem is one of pillars on which the criminal procedure system rests. This means that a person may not be punished nor have legal proceedings taken against him/her if they have previously been freed or found guilty of the crime. Ne bis in idem expresses the will to prevent dual liability. This is a human right supported by article 4 in the seventh protocol amendment of the European Conven
Söderslätt has been dominated by agriculture since many centuries ago. About 90 % of the area is cultural land nowadays. The aim of this paper is to quantify recent changes of ecological relevance in Söderslätt. Interpreted aerial photos from 1938 and 1985 were digitised and geometrical corrected for the change study. The agrarian development since the 1940s has meant a continuos change from small
Dissolved Organic Carbon (DOC) in inland waters plays an essential role in the global carbon cycle and has significant public health effects. Machine learning (ML) together with remote sensing has emerged as a powerful and promising combination to quantify water quality parameters from space. However, inland water sample data for DOC is limited. Hence, little is known about the potential to quanti
Background: Criteria for electrocardiographic detection of acute myocardial ischemia recommended by the Consensus Document of ESC/ACCF/AHA/WHF consist of two parts: The ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) criteria based on ST elevation (ST↑) in 10 pairs of contiguous leads and the other on ST depression (ST↓) in the same 10 contiguous pairs. Our aim was to assess sensitivity (SE) and specif
BACKGROUND: Berry pomace is a valuable but little used by-product of juice manufacturing. When processed to a stable fruit powder, the composition differs from that of the whole fruit. To facilitate application in foods, a detailed knowledge of its composition and physicochemical properties is essential. RESULTS: Blackcurrant, redcurrant, chokeberry, rowanberry and gooseberry were selected for ana
Here, we report on the growth, electronic, and surface properties of the electron-doped half-Heusler series Co1-xNixTiSb (001) grown by molecular beam epitaxy. High-quality epitaxial growth of thin films is achieved on InP (001) substrates using an InAlAs buffer layer for all nickel concentrations. The semiconductor to metal transition as a function of substitutional alloying was examined using el
The precisionFDA Truth Challenge V2 aimed to assess the state-of-the-art of variant calling in difficult-to-map regions and the Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC). Starting with FASTQ files, 20 challenge participants applied their variant calling pipelines and submitted 64 variant callsets for one or more sequencing technologies (~35X Illumina, ~35X PacBio HiFi, and ~50X Oxford Nanopore Techno
The development of innovative and competitive products and mastery of IT&T technologies are crucial for a company's long-term success in the global market. The main flag bearers for development are product developers, but it is questionable whether the existing systems are appropriate for the education of such professionals. For example, one study found large deficiencies concerning their skil
Background: Coronary artery disease (CAD) is accelerated in subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D). Methods: To test whether this reflects differential genetic influences on CAD risk in subjects with T2D, we performed a systematic assessment of genetic overlap between CAD and T2D in 66 643 subjects (27 708 with CAD and 24 259 with T2D). Variants showing apparent association with CAD in strat
