During the summer of 2018, Sweden’s crisis management experienced a massive challenge due to widespread forest fires. After the fires the Swedish public authority, Myndigheten för samhällsskydd och beredskap (MSB), got an expanded mandate and therefore ability to operate the Swedish crisis management system. This essay aims to find the answer to why MSB got this mandate and what was the reason beh
The society is constantly changing because of the globalization and the requirements of specialization increases. In regional growth policies regional expansion is advocated as a mean of increasing economic growth. Increased mobility is a prerequisite for regional expansion, something that conflicts with established climate and transport policy objectives. This essay examines how municipalities in
I samband med Ädelreformen öppnades möjligheter att införa Medicinskt ansvarig för rehabilitering (MAR) i den kommunala hälso- och sjukvården. Kunskapen om hur MAR påverkade arbetsterapeuter i deras arbete var outforskad. Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka hur arbetsterapeuter upplevde att MAR påverkade deras arbete och yrkesroll. Studien hade en kvalitativ design. Semistrukturerade intervj
The global climate change negotiations are experiencing a rescaling of international actors. Several of these actors are scientific communities that aim at providing policy recommendations based on expert knowledge for the negotiations. The literature within the science-policy nexus is applied to investigate the significance of expert communities however the literature does not target environmenta
This thesis investigates Twitter posting in Greek during the period of the Greek referendum in 2015 and in particular between June 27, when the referendum was announced, and July 6, one day after the referendum was completed, and how the Greek people use various external sources to express themselves (i.e. political thoughts, actions, inquires). The main research question is “What is the role of i
This study seeks, with an internet based survey containing ten pages taken from five different manga, to identify if people who read manga (Japanese comics) absorb every part of a presented manga page. It will attempt to see how well they understand various aspects of the Japanese language and what the readers focus lies on within each page, as well as touch upon the subject of using manga as a to
At Haväng in eastern Scania, South Sweden, an underwater landscape occurs on the seabed. The landscape consists of deep-rooted pines standing in organic deposits. Due to sea level changes, the area was exposed during two phases (11,700 to 10,700 and 10,000 to 8,500 years ago) so that pines could live there, to subsequently drown and end up submerged. This study aims to show how the Baltic Sea form
The evaporative gas turbine (EvGT), also known as the humid air turbine (HAT) cycle, is a novel advanced gas turbine cycle that has attracted considerable interest for the last decade. This high-efficiency cycle shows the potential to be competitive with Diesel engines or combined cycles in small and intermediate scale plants for power production and/or cogeneration. A 0.6 MW natural gas-fired EvG
BACKGROUND: To investigate, in a rabbit model, the effect of two different doses of vigabatrin (VGB) on retinal function and morphology. METHODS: Twenty-nine rabbits of mixed strain were divided into two groups, receiving either high-dose (n = 15) or low-dose (n = 14) oral VGB treatment (cumulative dose 29.8 +/- 2.9 g and 14.2 +/- 0.6 g respectively). Ten rabbits receiving water served as control
The modeling of soot formation and oxidation under industrially relevant conditions has made significant progress in recent years. Simplified models introducing a small number of transport equations into a CFD Code have been used with some success in research configurations simulating a reciprocating diesel engine. Soot formation and oxidation in the turbulent flow is calculated on the basis of a
Our aim was to analyze retinal structure in young patients with Best disease with reference to future gene therapy. This was a retrospective observational spectral domain optical coherence tomography study of four patients aged 10 years or less with Best disease. Findings ranged from subtle thickening at the level of the retinal pigment epithelium-photoreceptor interdigitation line, to subretinal
Det huvudsakliga syftet med denna uppsats har varit att ta reda på ifall man kan tala om ett oberoendekrav på styrelseledamöter i svenska börsbolag utifrån aktiebolagslagen och Svensk kod för bolagsstyrning. Jag har valt att använda mig att rättskälleläran med inslag av rättsvetenskaplig metod. De klassiska rättskällorna lag, förarbeten och doktrin har legat till grund för uppsatsen, kompletterat
Abstract Authors: Sebastian Jerneck & Johan Krantz Title: Where are youths placed by social workers? - What criteria will the social secretary take into account in the placement process? Supervisor: Max Koch Assessor: Johan Cronehed This thesis examines which conditions influence social workers' placements of youths. We interviewed seven social workers in four adminstrative regions. Our r
Bakgrund: Flera barnmorskor känner sig oförberedda i mötet med våldsutsatta gravida kvinnor och saknar adekvat stöd och riktlinjer för att bemöta kvinnorna. Syfte: Att belysa hur förberedda barnmorskor upplever sig vara i mötet med våldsutsatta gravida kvinnor. Metod: En kvalitativ intervjustudie med induktiv ansats. Tio barnmorskor med en yrkeslivserfarenhet som legitimerad barnmorska på 4–30 år
