Many of the associations between nursing care quality, trust, health status and individualized care remain obscure. Objective To empirically test a model of association linking hospitalized cancer patients’ health status, nursing care quality, perceived individuality in care and tru

Value added tax (VAT) is a key part of the fiscal revenue of many countries. Yet this broad-based tax on consumer spending exempts financial services. This seems puzzling to many, particularly given the significance of that sector and the size of its value-added in today's world economy. The fact that the European Commission is currently reviewing the tax treatment of financial activities in the E

Delamination and spallation of thermal barrier coating (TBC) systems, used in hot parts of gas turbines, have been studied with respect to thermal fatigue. TBCs with and without pre-existing cracks were investigated. Thermal shock tests were performed until coating spallation. The experimental results revealed that the cracks primarily responsible for spallation grew horizontally, close to the int

Varje söndag har vi möjlighet att besöka en gudstjänst i Svenska kyrkan, att bekänna våra synder och få höra att vi är förlåtna. Men vi människor är inte bara syndare, vi drabbas också av andras synd. Därför har jag skrivit den här masteruppsatsen om hur upplevelser av att drabbas av andras synd påverkar upplevelser av gudstjänst, eller mer specifikt upplevelser av huvudgudstjänst med nattvard i SEvery Sunday we have the opportunity to visit a service in the Church of Sweden, to confess our sins and to hear that we are forgiven. But we human beings are not just sinners, we are also sinned-against. Therefore I have written this master’s thesis on how experiences of being sinned against affect experiences of worship, or more specifically experiences of the main Sunday service with Eucharist

It is during a child’s second year that the rate of word learning increases drastically and they start to pay more attention to the property of shape when categorizing new objects. The present study set out to investigate the relationship between productive vocabulary size and the shape bias when children learn novel words. In order to better understand the neural mechanisms behind this process, e

The thesis aims at supplementing a critique of the existing international instruments, regional responses and national legislation of the Arctic related to marine environmental protection. With this aim in view, the thesis satisfies its objective by proposing a Bipartite “Arctic Council” acting as a conglomeration of the Arctic States and the Flag States with a hybrid “Arctic treaty”, which is an

Människohandel i syfte att tigga och stjäla finns i 4 kap. 1a§ BrB. Denna lagstiftning har framförallt kommit till p.g.a. Palermoprotokollet, men det finns även ett EU-direktiv, ett EU-rambeslut och en Europarådets konvention på området. Människohandel i syfte att tigga och stjäla har blivit uppmärksammat de senaste åren, men det har varit svårt att få fällande domar på området. År 2011 ändrades mHuman trafficking for the purpose of begging and stealing you can find in chapter 4 1a § BrB. This legislation has mainly been due to Palermo Protocol, but there is also an EU Directive, an EU Framework Decision and a Council of Europe Convention on the field. Human trafficking for the purpose of begging and stealing has been recognized in recent years, but it has been difficult to get convictions

En grundläggande princip inom konkursrätten är att konkursboet inte ansvarar för gäldenärens tidigare förpliktelser. Miljörätten däremot är uppbyggd runt syftet att kunna utkräva ansvar från en stor krets av fysiska och juridiska personer, detta i syfte att skydda nuvarande och kommande generationer. Det problematiska är att kombinera dessa två lagstiftningar och syften. Syftet för den här framsA fundamental principle within the bankruptcy law is that the bankruptcy estate is not responsible for the debtor’s prior obligations. The environmental law is built around the purpose of enabling the enforcement system to demand accountability from a large group of corporations and persons. This, for the purpose of protecting present and future generations. An important matter is how to combine t

I Sverige minskar den biologiska mångfalden och antalet hotade arter ökar. Ett av de största hoten mot dessa arter och mot biologisk mångfald är förändringar i livsmiljöer. Trots detta fortsätter skogar med höga naturvärden att avverkas och andelen biologiskt skyddsvärd skog minskar. I uppsatsen utreds de EU-rättsliga artskyddsbestämmelserna i fågeldirektivet och habitatdirektivet, och den svensBiodiversity decreases in Sweden and the number of endangered species is increasing. One of the biggest threats to endangered species and biodiversity are changes in natural habitats. Despite this, forests that provide essential natural value, are continuously cut. This paper presents the national and regional EU species protection provisions in the Bird Directive and Habitats Directive and natio

Sexual violence is a frequent problem in armed conflict. For twenty years, multiple measure have been adopted to stop this conduct but it is showing very little result. At the same time, there is a lively debate on several areas concerning sexual violence in armed conflict. This thesis analyses two of these areas of debate in order to find what the Community of States is doing wrong. Before enter

Något som är det största hindret i arbetet mot terrorism är att vi inte kan nå kon-sensus om vad terrorism är och vilka som klassas som terrorister. Detta skapar stor förvirring inom både akademins tolkning av fenomenet men också inom me-dias rapportering av det. Denna studie syftar till att förtydliga begreppet genom att undersöka hur akademin och media på olika sätt tolkar och använder sig av beOne great obstacle in the war against terrorism is the fact that we can’t seem to agree upon its definition and on who we call terrorist. This confusion can be found in both the academic world and in the media. This study aims to shed light on this issue and highlight one aspect of the concept by looking more closely into the case of the Norvegean man Anders Behring Breivik and the massmurders he

This study analyze how the exploitation of agricultural land affects Sweden's ability to remain self-sufficient in grain, and the consequences that arise when agricultural land with the highest classification is disappearing the fastest. As the population increases the food production must also increase at the same pace. An important crops for Sweden's food supply is grain and it stands fo

Purpose of this paper: The U.S. and European way of planning road-freight transport are different. These differences pose an interest of analyzing, assessing and evaluating. Transport planning in the U.S. is far more centralized and integrated than in the de-centralized inefficient European way. The aim of this paper is therefore to improve transport planning in Europe by analyzing the U.S. best-p

This thesis examines how the Climate Justice Movement in Germany is set up today and how activists relate to and feel about their activism. Specifically, factors are investigated that make people feel unhappy about their activism or even leave the movement. Furthermore, potential changes of the movement in order to become a healthier and more sustainable environment for activists are suggested. Pa

White dwarf stars represent the last evolutionary stage of most stars in the Universe. As many of half of these stars are known to have metals in their atmospheres, that must have entered the atmosphere recently. Some also have observable debris discs, hinting that remnant exoplanets provide an important puzzle piece. However, we do not know the full extent of their role, as it is very hard to obs

For the development of a joint European capacity for monitoring CO2 emissions, we created the framework “CO2 Monitoring Challenges City Mapbooks v1.0” (CMC-CITYMAP). It includes a Jupyter notebook tool (Storm et al., 2025a, https://doi.org/10.18160/P8SV-B99F) which we use to characterise and cluster cities based on aspects relevant for different CO2 monitoring challenges. These include:a. determin

The future for diabetes is grave. Now described as the global epidemic of the 21st century, the increasing incidence of diabetes (in 2007 over 246 million people affected by diabetes) will place considerable strain on resources and will bring suffering to many if the preventative measures promoted by the International Diabetes Federation (IDF), the International Working Group on the Diabetic Foot
