The purpose of this study was to examine the thoughts and experiences of children’s investigators of the social services regarding the recent incorporation of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) into Swedish domestic law. By doing so we wished to gain a greater understanding of the practical implications of this new law. Our method was qualitative and the data collected through se

Ett av vetenskapens största mål är att få rena och skalbara energikällor. Om detta ska ha en positiv effekt på klimatförändringar måste det utföras effektivt och förhoppningsvis så fort så möjligt. Flera övergångsmetallkomplexer, exempelvis andra- och tredje raden övergångsmetaller har tidigare framgångsrikt använts för ändamål såsom fotokatalys och andra artificiella ljusskördesystem. Dessa övergThe structural properties in the ground and the excited states of the hexa-coordinated iron carbene molecule FeIII(phtmeimb)2PF6 were investigated by ultrafast time-resolved X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS)techniques. Namely X-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) and Extended X-ray Absorption FineStructure (EXAFS). Data from a time-resolved pump-probe synchrotron radiation experiment was

Studien syftar till att undersöka uppkomsten av fenomenet alkoholfri reklam. Bakgrunden visar på att stora varumärken satsar stora summor på sin alkoholfria marknadsföring men statistiken visar på att försäljningen av de alkoholfria alternativen inte motsvarar investeringarna. Studiens forskningsfrågor intresserar således sig av budskapen i den alkoholfria reklamen, utformningen av dessa och dess The study aims to investigate the emergence of the phenomenon of non-alcoholic advertising. The background shows that large brands have invested a lot of money in their non-alcoholic marketing through the years, but the statistics show that the sale of the non-alcoholic alternatives does not correspond to the investments done by the brands. The study's research questions are thus interested in

Cell death is an important field of biology that is linked to many other topics in medicine and biology. One of the methods to investigate cell death is through high content screening (HCS) which makes use of robotic microscopy. By this technology, cell death associated organelle membrane permeabilisation and the localisation of certain dyes can be visualised and elucidate a substantial amount of

Att försöka simulera adsorption Datormodeller är användbara för att förutspå verkligheten men bara om man lyckas få dem att återspegla den först. För adsorptionsfenomen är detta extra knepigt då det är många underliggande antaganden som måste identifieras och uppfyllas. Att kunna testa hypoteser i en datormodell innan man testar den i labbet eller ute i en stor fabrik är något som kan spara både tThe separation of hemicelluloses, like glactoglucomannans, from lignocellulosic process streams is an important step in building profitable lignocellulosic biorefineries. The most common method for the separation is membrane filtration, however, it has the draw-back of being sensitive to membrane fouling. To better understand the fouling process, it is desirable to be able to model the adsorption

Caffeine is a compound many consume, mostly in the form of coffee, which is not just revitalizing, but has also been shown to have a potential protective effect against diseases such as Alzheimer and Type 2 Diabetes. This project looked at caffeine and its breakdown product paraxanthine, using metabolomics, a technique that determines small compounds called metabolites. This project aimed to inves

Research question: Are sustainability reports credible? Purpose: The purpose of this study is to identify if sustainability reports are credible with the help of a content analysis. Methodology: With the use of CONI-model which consists part of a quantitative and part qualitative content analysis results can be analyzed more in depth. This study focuses on six related categories which are respon

Tracking activities have lately been very popular in smartphones, which requires that the devices are able to classify activities correctly. Since this type of devices has limitations in both power consumption and computational performance, it is important to keep these factors to a minimum. Therefore, the low cost of the accelerometer sensor is a good platform to build a classification on. Althou

Det här arbetet undersöker tillgänglighet till miljöanpassad teknik i utvecklingsländer och hur tillgängligheten kan påverkas av det patenträttsliga systemet. Spridning av miljöanpassad teknik har länge ansetts vara en viktig komponent för stävjandet av klimatförändringar. Det här har föranlett en debatt inom ramen för internationella forum kopplade till Klimatkonventionen och TRIPS. Frågan som This paper investigates the availability of environmentally sound technology in developing countries and how the availability can be affected by patent law. Availability of environmentally sound technologies has for a long time been considered important as a mean to prevent climate change. This has led to a debate, both within UNFCCC and TRIPS, about what role patent rights play for the availabi

Background: As the conflict crisis in the Middle East and West Asia has elevated, simultaneously has Sweden seen a higher level of immigration. Among these groups of people are women who are both physically and emotionally affected. Integrating their old cultural values into the new cultural values often creates problems. However, at present there are not many studies showing how these women exper

Today's security cameras typically capture either color images based on visible light or grayscale images based on both visible and near-infrared (NIR) light. This means that the performance is limited in situations where it is unclear which kind of image to capture. At dusk, for example, the visible light may not be sufficient to capture good-quality color images. On the other hand, capturing

The purpose of this ethnographic study was to examine the conceptions and challenges people deal with that work among the disability community in the country of Georgia. I have analyzed my empiric material through the theoretical framework of stigma and normality, but also through a cultural perspective. My focus was to discover how disabled people are viewed in Georgia, as well as how they view t

Den 1 januari år 2004 infördes i svensk rätt möjligheten att bilda tredimensionella fastigheter. Detta innebar en stor principiell förändring i svensk fastighetsrätt. Från att som tidigare endast kunna avgränsas i markplanet kan en fastighet nu bestå av en sluten volym, en tredimensionell fastighet. En förutsättning för att bilda en tredimensionell fastighet är att det står klart att åtgärden är January 1, 2004, a new law in Sweden made it possible to form three-dimensional real property units. This was a fundamental change in Swedish real estate law. Before, real property could only be defined in the horizontal plane but can now be defined both horizontally and vertically, making it possible for real property to consist of a closed volume rather than just an area. A prerequisite to form

The complement system can be activated by three different pathways in the body. It is wanted to be able to detect deficiencies of these activation pathways and Bioporto A/S has acquired the commercial rights to a set of ELISA based assays. There is a need in these commercial assays for optimisation of dilution and wash buffers since the idea with the ELISA kit is to sell it as a “ready-to-use kit”

En viktig komponent i vårt moderna samhälle är plaster och användandet av detta material ökar. Plaster skapas av komponenter som extraheras från petroleum, ett icke-förnybart fossilt bränsle. För en hållbar framtid måste användandet av petroleum minska. Alternativ till petroleum-baserade plaster är bio-plaster. Bioraffinaderier använder idag mindre än 20 % av biomassan för etanolproduktion, överskBioplastics are a promising alternative for petroleum-based plastics that today is on high demand in our contemporary lifestyles. They are made from biopolymers such as polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs). Producing biopolymers from waste material feedstock using microbes increases profitability and environmental benefits as well as sustainability for biorefineries. Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a robust m

Commitments under the EU merger control have been used as the tool to balance the preservation of fierce competition in the single market and the positive impact of M&A activity both in Europe and worldwide. Infrequently, the complex competitive analysis of concentrations results in the finding of serious doubts as to the compatibility of the transaction with the common market. In order to sol
