Background and aims: “It’s best to start with air” states the current guidelines on the resuscitation of babies at birth. In a piglet model mimicking severe neonatal asphyxia and circulatory arrest, different aspects of resuscitation were investigated (studies I-III). The hypotheses were that the return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) would occur faster with the use of oxygen (I and III) or adre
Popular AbstractI denna avhandling analyseras den svenska skogsbruksdebatten under nittonhundratalets tre sista decennier. De ideal och värderingar som genom det moderna skogsbrukets ideologi och praktik kom att råda i skogarna utmanades av miljörörelsen från sextiotalet och framåt. Till en början stod skogsnäringen och miljörörelsen mycket långt från varandra, men under nittiotalet började man nä
Basic English Grammar A web linked course Basic English Grammar is not a grammar book per se, with paragraphs and rules, but a course designed specifically for speakers of Swedish who wish to improve their proficiency and confidence in English. Since most Swedish speakers have a great deal of intuitive knowledge about the structure of the English language, the authors have integrated exercises i
We investigate if we can find evidence of house effects in Swedish political opinion polls from 2006 to 2014. In order to respect the inherent restriction of the simplex sample space, we apply compositional data analysis and Aitchison geometry. We use compositional locally weighted regression (C-loess) to estimate the share of voters for each party at given dates, a poll of polls. The estimated sh
”Alltså säg inte mötesplats! Och möjlighet! Alltså dom här M-orden har jag egentligen lite svårt för liksom. Och mångkultur!”Tjänstemannen blir plötsligt irriterad. Hon brinner för mångfald i kulturlivet, men retoriken, orden och jargongen gör henne frustrerad. Den här avhandlingen handlar till stor del om dessa ord och hur personer som arbetar med teater och integration förhåller sig till dem. TeThe purpose of this thesis is to investigate the notion of multiculturalism in relation to theatre and drama. In Swedish public discourse, culture and the arts are frequently referred to as a social glue which keeps society together. In this context theatre holds a particular position. On the one hand theatre is looked upon as a magic key capable of opening up all sorts of discriminatory structure
We present a model relating analysis of abstract and concrete word meaning in terms of semantic features and contextual frames within a general framework of neurocognitive information processing. The approach taken here assumes concrete noun meanings to be intimately related to sensory feature constellations. These features are processed by posterior sensory regions of the brain, e.g. the occipita
The quantitative information in SPECT images is distorted by photon attenuation and contribution of photons scattered in the object. It is, therefore, important to know the distribution of different attenuating tissues in order to be able to perform a proper attenuation correction. A correction method, based on correcting one pixel at a time by using density maps and build-up functions, has been d
The relationships between characteristics of the ward atmosphere and treatment outcome in a psychiatric day-care unit were investigated. The treatment programme was based on occupational group therapy and included long-term mentally ill patients, equally distributed with regard to psychosis and non-psychosis diagnoses. The ward atmosphere was rated on the Community-Oriented Programs Environment Sc
Popular Abstract in Swedish Kvantdatorer har den unika egenskapen att de kan utföra samma beräkning för många olika startvärden samtidigt. Informationen i en vanlig dator är lagrad i ett minne som består av bitar, som kan ha värdena 1 eller 0. När ett program körs beror slutresultatet av startvärdena hos dessa bitar. Minnet i en kvantdator lagrar istället kvantbitar, som även de kan ha värdena 1 eThe main aim of this work, was to lay the foundations for the experimental realisation of a quantum mechanical controlled NOT gate in rare-earth-metal-ion-doped crystals. Small amounts of rare-earth elements, added during the growth of some inorganic crystals, will become substituted into the crystal lattice as trivalent ions. The trivalent rare-earth-metal ions between cerium, with atomic number
The use of haptics in teleoperation and robotics can help the human operator to greatly improve the performance. This master thesis presents a haptic interface between a haptic device, a Phantom Premium A, and an industrial robot, an IRB140B, on which a force sensor was mounted. This will enable a human operator controlling the Phantom to get information about the environment surrounding the IRB14
Sammanfattning Med ”Lindomeproblematik” menas att flera tilltalade skyller på varandra och att det inte går att avgöra vem av dem som begått brottet eller om de har gjort det tillsammans, vilket leder till att samtliga frias. Rättsväsendets förmåga att klara upp och lagföra allvarliga brott ifrågasätts därför. I denna uppsats där en rättsdogmatisk metod används är syftet att redogöra för och kritThe Lindome problem refers to a well known legal case in Sweden where justice has failed, as it has been interpreted by many actors. Significant for this specific case (and other similar cases that are studied in this thesis) is that even though two or more defendants were present when a murder took place, all of them escaped judgement by blaming each other. The Lindome case aroused great attenti
With this research we aim to understand the dynamics of consumers' use of cancel culture as a resource for their identity construction online. Theories included were surrounding framing, morality, consumers as moral protagonists, purity and dirt as well as distaste and symbolic violence. These theories were selected to aid with the analysis of the empirical material and to add new insight to t

Denna studie har utforskat kvällspress (Expressen och Aftonbladet) och myndigheters (Folkhälsomyndigheten och Regeringen) strategiska kommunikation under coronapandemins inledande fas i Sverige och analyserat detta dels baserat på kriskommunikationsteori, dels dagordningsteori med gestaltningsteori och teorin om den retoriska arenan. För att kunna genomföra en Retorisk Arena-analys på materialet iThis study has explored the strategic communication of The Public Health Agency of Sweden and the Swedish Government compared to tabloid press of Sweden (Expressen, Aftonbladet) during the initial phase of the coronapandemic in Sweden and analyzed it based on crisis communications theory, partly agenda-setting-theory including framing theory and the theory of the Rhetorical Arena. In order to comp
The purpose of this study is to advance the theoretical knowledge on the influence and benefits of business incubator networks in direct connection to residing Early and rapid internationalizing firms. A qualitative research method was used in order to shed light on the workings of Swedish incubator networks and how residing Early and rapid internationalizing startups make use of them to overcome
The aim with this study is to analyse how social workers reason and understand that some youth who grew up in households living on social assistance is also in need of assistance as a young adult. This study contains qualitative interviews with seven social workers in Malmö. All respondents work in the field of social assistance. This study also investigates how social workers understand and perce
Bakgrund De ledande världsekonomierna kom 2010 överens om att begränsa den globala uppvärmningen till två graders ökning jämfört med förindustriella temperaturer i hopp om att det räcker för att undvika den värsta effekten av klimatförändringar. För att nå detta mål skulle det, enligt The Intergovernmental Panel of Climate Change, krävas en absolut reducering av utsläpp med 41–72 procent till 2050Background The world’s governments agreed in 2010 to work towards limiting global warming to a two-degree warming compared to pre-industrial temperatures with the presumption that this would suffice in order to avoid the worst effects of climate change. Meeting this goal would, according to The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, require a reduction of global emissions by 41–72 percent by t
Mot ett säkrare slutförvar för framtida generationer En förutsättning för att det kommande slutförvaret för använt kärnbränsle ska fylla sin uppgift är att alla barriärer som ska förhindra att radioaktivitet läcker ut till omgivningen fungerar under mycket lång tid. En av de viktigaste barriärerna är bentonitleran som ska omge det inkapslade bränslet. Den viktigaste egenskapen hos leran är att denThis report describes a systematic review regarding validations of calculations by measurements of isotopic compositions, or decay heat, on spent nuclear fuel, SNF. 15 relevant or otherwise interesting studies, were found. Two reports were chosen among the found studies and analyzed. One of the studies described validations made with experimental data from measurements of isotopic compositions on
