A quite common view is that the scientific persona matters less in contemporary Western knowledge societies. Large research groups produce new scientific discoveries gathered around impersonal expert system. However, it is also well known that scientific cultures differ widely. In physics, the projects are quite impersonal, sometimes including thousands of persons. The prime example is the CERN or

Highly crosslinked synthetic polymers, selective for various Nα-protected amino acids and derivatives, were prepared by non-covalent molecular imprinting. Methacrylic acid and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate were copolymerized in the presence of the print molecules, which were subsequently extracted from the polymers. The recognition of the polymers for the print molecules and molecules of similar

Preterm birth is associated with increased rates of neonatal and infant mortality. It has been hypothesized that gestational age at birth may also be associated with increased mortality rates in adulthood, but to date, no studies have demonstrated this relationship. This national cohort study investigated the association between gestational age at birth and mortality in young adulthood. Data obtai

Abstract Author: Frida Beck Title: “Skilsmässobarn bär på en tung ryggsäck” Supervisor: Mats Hilte Assessor: Håkan Johansson The aim of this study was to examine how social constructions of children to divorced parents appear in daily newspapers and evening papers. Furthermore this study also examined the difference in the social perception of the child and the parent. The selection of empirica

Våldtäkter diskuteras ofta och i många olika sammanhang. Många, främst unga kvinnor, utsätts årligen på något sätt för sexualbrott. Majoriteten är mildare brott men de senaste 40 åren har antalet anmälda våldtäkter tiodubblats och under samma tid har antalet som fälls för våldtäkter i stort sett varit detsamma. Våldtäkter väcker ofta starka känslor och effekten mildras inte av att det då och då kRape is often discussed and in many different contexts. Every year, many women are exposed to sexual offenses. The majority are milder crimes but in the past 40 years the number of reported rapes has doubled tenfold, meanwhile the number of convictions has stayed the same. Rape is a topic that raises strong emotions and the effect is not alleviated by the cases where the perpetrators are acquitted

This thesis measures cost efficiency in the production of health care and social services in Sweden. The object of analysis is not provider efficiency, but instead the relative efficiency of political organizations or different contractual arrangements. The thesis focuses on: 1) the measurement of cost efficiency, 2) the investigation of potential trade-offs between quantity of health care service

The overall aim of this thesis was to study life satisfaction (LS) and factors associated to LS in the group aged 78 and above. As an aid in interpreting the findings, Baltes’ and Baltes’ theory of selective optimisation with compensation (SOC) was used. All four studies included the same studypopulation who were followed for three years in the study Good Aging in Skåne, a national, randomized, po

The aim of this thesis is to provide useful framework for the design of the upcoming electric race car of Lund Formula Student Team. The thesis intends to find the different powertrain concepts on the state of the art. From the configurations, the thesis should provide outcomes of the performance, efficiency, complexity design and cost. Furthermore, the best concept should be find and a simple pre

Köparens undersökningsplikt vid företagsöverlåtelser skiljer sig väsentligt från andra typer av förvärv. Köplagen (KöpL) är, trots vissa brister, den mest rimliga lagen att tillämpa för att hantera frågor i samband med företagsförvärv. Felbegreppet är svårtolkat när det gäller överlåtna aktier i ett förvärvat bolag men det mest centrala för själva undersökningsplikten är; säljarens handlande, främThe buyer’s obligation to scrutinize a corporate acquisition differs significantly from other types of acquisitions. The Swedish Sales of Goods Act (KöpL) is, despite certain shortcomings, the most reasonable law to deal with issues regarding corporate acquisitions. The concept of error is difficult to interpret when it comes to shares in an acquired company but the most crucial aspect regarding t

The global pandemic COVID-19 made it impossible for psychodynamic psychotherapists to continue with in-person psychotherapy and they had to transform their work to the digital platform. There is a research gap regarding psychodynamic psychotherapists experiences of video-delivered psychotherapy which is emergent to investigate since previous research has shown that the therapeutic relationship suf

A commonly occurring problem when designing steel-to-concrete connections in corners with space deficits is the necessity for irregularly placed bolts with regards to design codes. The complexity of the calculations for the irregular placements of bolts generates the need to use simplified models during the design. This simplification could lead to differences between the design and the physical p

Two relatively new concepts in planetary science are planetary migration; wherein the planets migrate through the protoplanetary disk as they form, and pebble accretion; wherein the planetesimals which become terrestrial planets and giant planet cores grow through the accretion of small pebbles. Planetary migration has become a generally accepted concept but there is still much to be learned even

Frågan om det i svensk rätt existerar en ansvarsbefriande, oskriven undantagsregel vid tillfällig sinnesförvirring har stått obesvarad sedan införandet av brottsbalken (1962:700) år 1965. I mars 2020 tog Högsta domstolen (HD) upp frågan till prövning. Målet benämns ’Vanföreställningen’ och utgör grunden för examensarbetet. I ’Vanföreställningen’ avvisade HD att det finns en oskriven undantagsreg

Postpartum depression (PPD) riskerar att ge allvarliga konsekvenser för hela familjen. Obehandlat riskerar PPD att negativt påverka mammans hälsa, omvårdnad och utveckling hos barnet samt relationen till partnern. Även om det finns mycket empiriskt stöd för uppfattningen om att PPD är ett flerdimensionellt problem där funktionen av de interpersonella relationerna i familjen har en viktig roll, så Postpartum depression (PPD) generates risk for serious consequences for the whole family. Untreated, PPD can have a negative impact on the mother's health, the care for and development of the child, as well as the relationship with the partner. While there is much empirical support of the notion that PPD is a multidimensional problem where qualities of the interpersonal relationships in the fa

I takt med att världen blir allt mer globaliserad ökar möjligheterna för människor att förflytta sig över gränserna. Emellertid ökar även riskerna för att människor far illa och blir utnyttjade för till exempel människohandel. Människohandel är ett globalt och komplext problem och trots att människohandel kan syfta till att utnyttja människor på olika sätt och för olika ändamål har insatserna hittSweden faces a problem that no one could have predicted a few years ago, which is that people are exploited for forced labour in the West. The purpose of this essay is to make reference to both criminal and labour law in order to describe the regulations, the current practice, and to observe the difficulties in implementation that exist when introducing legislation in the campaign against forced l

In this essay I seek to investigate what the laws of Leviticus 18:22 and 20:13 are prohibiting and why. I also aim to explain in what way these laws are relevant to the present meaning of homosexuality. Since these laws often are interpreted with explanations such as violation of the creation order, I also exam in what way the Levitical prohibitions might be based on Genesis 1-2. Being a part of

Abstract: Avian long-distance migration as an adaptation to spatiotemporally changing resources is a complex evolutionary trait shaped by various endo- and exogenous factors. Descriptive studies of migratory journeys provide direct investigations of migratory parameters and these often set the basis for fun-damental follow-up studies on the eco-evolutionary principles. In this study, male Great
