One of the directives in this common system is a revised version of the Reception Conditions Directive from 2003, establishing rules for housing, clothing and food for the asylum applicants. The directive from 2003 should be in place in all Member States of the EU and on the 21st of
Internal erosion is one of the major reasons for embankment dam failures. Despite this, the knowledge of the temporal development of internal erosion in full scale structures is limited. Detection of internal erosion is complicated using conventional methods, and new or improved methods are appreciated. Hallby was the first Swedish embankment to get a permanently installed monitoring system intend
The structure and stability of the lamellar liquid crystal formed by the surfactant sodium bis-2ethylhexyl sulfosuccinate (AOT) in water is perturbed by small amounts of the substituted acrylamides N-isopropyl, N,N-diethyl, N-acryloylmorpholine, and N,N-dimethyl methacrylamide, as revealed by small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), deuterium NMR, and microscopy. These molecules are water soluble and
Popular Abstract in Swedish Behandlingsideologier och arbetsmodeller avlöser varandra snabbt i dagens samhälle. Att hänga med i det nya och samtidigt försvara det arbete som man gör eller tidigare gjort är en problematik som allt fler ställs inför. I spelet mellan olika inriktningar byggs det upp en argumentation. I denna avhandling analyseras hur anställda vid en psykiatrisk vårdinstitution, specTreatment ideologies and working models replace each other quickly in today's society. During the 1980s a dramatic dismantling of the psychiatric institutions occurred. The health care system was supposed to be transferred to non-institutional care. This was, however, not possible for all groups of patients. At an institution, specialized in so called demanding patients and patients who received c
An increase in hip fracture incidence during the recent half-century has been reported worldwide and has been predicted to continue. Recent publications, however, have reported stable or even decreasing hip fracture incidence. No reports evaluate whether these changes in hip fracture incidence are associated with changes in bone mineral density (BMD), if they apply in both urban and rural settings
Prophylaxis and treatment with antiretroviral drugs and the use of elective caesarean section have resulted in a very low mother-to-child transmission of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) during recent years. The availability of new antiretroviral drugs, updated general treatment guidelines and increasing knowledge of the importance of drug resistance, have necessitated regular revisions of the "
During the second half of August and the first part of September 2017, I radiotracked several European nightjars (Caprimulgus europaeus) around the Stensoffa area in Southern Sweden. Several locations were taken for each bird each night, including diurnal roost and nocturnal points composed by flying and resting behaviours. Being a long-distance migrator already on the way south during autumn migr
This thesis is a qualitative interview-study of the working conditions for female journalists within an Indian and Keralan context focusing on the female body and spaces. The study takes place in the Keralan society focusing on how women journalists cope with working in a traditional male dominated area and how the female body somehow is seen as an invader in the journalism field, based on pre-ass
The study of heterogeneous catalysis, especially within methane oxidation, is of high importance in order to more efficiently remove unburned methane from bio-fuel exhausts. This is relevant as bio-fuel engines will replace those driven by fossil fuels in the coming decades. This thesis contributes to the understanding of that reaction in a 5 mbar environmental pressure regime over a polycrystalli
Aface the crashing wave of the global climate crisis, humans are struggling to stay afloat. Building a raft of sustainable environmental ethics whilst swimming in the dark waters of unsustainable “modernity” requires a herculean effort. And yet, here we are. The Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) curriculum of Yakushima municipality in Japan is doing its localised part to gather the wood,

A powerful cartel forces customers to pay significantly more for products and eliminates competition since its participants do not need to improve their productivity or the quality of their products. Cartels have historically exercised great influence over the international economy. During the inter-war period cartels were so powerful that economists have estimated that international cartels contr
The issue of possession of the air has been debated over literally thousands of years. The Romans debated the ownership of the air above their cornfields. When man finally could construct aircraft, in this case a balloon, heavier-than-air in the 1780's it did not take long before the first regulation came into force. The issue of state sovereignty had been discussed since the national states s
This essay presents the most important legal regulations for protection of shareholders rights. The following work will concentrate on two legal systems, namely Swedish and Polish. The goal is to compare legal regulations concerning the protection of minority shareholders and finding the relevant similarities and, even more importantly, the differences characteristically for each country. The cont
Notions of cultural identity and its importance have changed significantly during recent decades, affecting everything from state politics and public debate to conflicts and war. This is very much true for the cultural identity of people perceived as indigenous, either by others or by themselves. My field site for exploration of these issues is Guatemala. The question I pose is: How do local peopl
