Introduction: Many countries in the world are still facing high maternal mortality rates and women still die due to preventable pregnancy- and birth-related causes. This could be prevented with an improvement in the quality of care and yet many countries, especially in the rural areas, have challenges in doing so. In order to understand why is care given in certain way, more qualitative studies ne
This thesis examines the ongoing violent situation with the criminal networks in Sweden, what the obligations under article 19 of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child entail and to what extent the measures taken by the Swedish government live up to these obligations. Many children today are in various ways being affected by the gang-related violence, especially those who live in the vulner
Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is a highly aggressive form of cancer, characterized by a particularly poor prognosis. Subsequently, it has a very low five-year survival rate of only 6%. At the clinic, patients are either diagnosed at advanced stages where care is more palliative and with few therapeutic options or, when diagnosed at earlier stages, respond very positively to first-line treatments b
För att förhindra att ägare av företag med en mer begränsad ägarkrets, så kallade fåmansföretag, tar ut högbeskattade arbetsinkomster som lägre beskattade kapitalinkomster finns det särskilda regler. Dessa regler är kända som 3:12-reglerna och finns i 57 kap. inkomstskattelagen (1999:1229), IL. Endast de andelar som definieras som kvalificerade andelar omfattas av särreglerna. Enligt 57 kap. 4 § In order to prevent owners of closely held corporations from transforming highly taxed salary income into lower taxed capital income, special rules exist for closely held corporations. These rules are known as the 3:12-rules and are found in chapter 57 of the Swedish income taxation act (inkomstskattelagen (1999:1229), IL). Only shares that are defined as qualified shares are subject to the 3:12-r
Interaktionsmöjligheter i sociala medier har bidragit till att varumärkesinnehavare har fått minskad kontroll över vilka budskap som kommuniceras om varumärket. Studien analyserar hur värde i relation till ett varumärke förhandlas mellan använ-dare inom en gemenskap på Instagram, samt hur normer och gruppstrukturer på-verkar och påverkas av förhandlingsprocesser inom gemenskapen. Studien bygger på
Return models and covariance matrices of return series have been studied. In particular, GARCH and SV models are compared with respect to their forecasting accuracy when applied to intraday return series. SV models are found to be considerably more accurate and more consistent in accuracy in forecasting. Covariance matrices formed from Gaussian and GARCH return series, and in particular, return s
Objective: The proteoglycan decorin stabilizes collagen whereas biglycan and hyaluronan disrupt well-organized collagen. The aim was to compare hyaluronan and proteoglycans in human fetal membranes obtained before and after spontaneous labour at term. Study design: Prelabour samples of fetal membranes (N = 9) were obtained from elective caesarean sections and regionally sampled from over the cervi
Statistical modeling of atrioventricular (AV) nodal function during atrial fibrillation (AF) is revisited for the purpose of defining model properties and improving parameter estimation. The characterization of AV nodal pathways is made more detailed and the number of pathways is now determined by the Bayesian information criterion, rather than just producing a probability as was previously done.
Framställningen syftar till att utreda hur mycket genomslagskraft straffprocessens olika funktioner får givet ett visst beviskrav. En modern syn på straffprocessen är det s.k. differentierade funktionstänkandet där funktionerna har olika stort genomslag i olika stadier av straffprocessen. Vanligtvis brukar dessa funktioner delas upp i överväganden som härrör sig från antingen värdet av en effektiv
The proportion of older adults in Sweden (aged 65 and older) is expected to be 25 % of the total population by 2060. Currently, the number of elders in Sweden who need help to prepare their meals are approximately 250,000. The creation of unique and customized food products and beverages targeting the health and nutritional requirements of the elderly population comes with challenges. New food-bas
We present a parton-level phenomenological study of triple-Higgs production at leading order in proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 100 TeV with an integrated luminosity of 30 ab^-1. This study aims to estimate the prospects for measuring the signal hhh production observable at the Future Circular Collider. We explore interesting final states that could be used for this purpose
This thesis investigates how Vicke Lindstrand’s public sculpture Legend i glas, located in Teaterparken in Växjö, can be related to its location and spatial context in terms of meaning, function and reception. Central questions asked are: How do changes in the direct surroundings affect the situation of reception? How does that affect the meaning and function of the sculpture? To what extent is me
The work as a social worker comes with a great responsibility when it comes to making decisions that may impact people's lives. The social worker has the opportunity to make a professional decision by using the information that has been provided from the clients. However, the social worker does not have the ability to make any decision based on their own preferences. They have the freedom of a
This master's thesis presents a qualitative analysis of the activity played out by the users in the physical library room. The study focuses users different activities and therefor also some of the activities made by librarians. The aim of this study is to put light on the activity played out by the user of the physical room at the local library. More precisely two smaller library rooms locat
The coherent coupling of photons to solid state emitters is one of the building blocks for future quantum technology. However, one of the main sources for non-perfect or even strongly reduced coherence of the photons is charge noise which introduces energy shifts during or in between the photon emission events. In particular solid-state emitters in nanostructures suffer from such spectral diffusio
EU har antagit mål att till år 2030 minska koldioxidutsläppen med 40%, Sverige har gått steget längre och beslutat att år 2045 ska nettoutsläppen av koldioxid i landet vara noll. Av världens totala utsläpp står betongtillverkningen för 7% vilket innebär att det är ett område med stor potential till förbättring. Syftet med det här examensarbetet är att bidra med kunskapsutveckling kring återanvändThe EU has established a binding target to reduce CO2 emissions by 40% by 2030, Sweden has taken one step further and has decided to be carbon neutral by 2045. 7 % of the world´s total CO2 emissions comes from concrete production which makes it a field with great potential to improvement. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the requirements for reusing concrete elements in practice in the c
Trots att det finns stora möjligheter för att finna synergier mellan övergångsrättvisa och företagande och mänskliga rättigheter har de två forskningsfälten fram tills nyligen sällan undersökts ihop. Denna uppsats har som övergripande mål att bidra till en bättre förståelse för hur de två fälten interagerar när stater rör sig från pågående väpnade konflikter till post-konfliktfaser. I synnerhet ämThe fields of transitional justice and business and human rights have until recently seldom been examined jointly, despite the fact that their approaches reflect plenty of opportunities for potential synergies. This thesis bears the overarching aim of contributing to a greater understanding of how the two fields interact when states are transitioning from active armed conflict to post-conflict pha
År 2006 var året då fler människor bodde i städer än på landsbygden och år 2030 uppskattas 5 miljarder människor bo i en urban miljö. Att lösa boendesituationen för de som flyttar till städer är ett globalt problem som kommer bli viktigare än någonsin tidigare att lösa. (Montgomery, 2014) Bostadsbyggandet i Sverige har de senaste åren ökat, men befolkningen ökar i ännu högre takt vilket gör att bo2006 was the year when more people lived in cities than in rural areas and by 2030 approximately 5 billion people will be living in an urban environment. Solving the housing situation of those who move to cities is a global problem that will become more important than ever to solve. (Montgomery, 2014) Housing construction in Sweden has increased in recent years, but the population is increasing at
Under international law, a government of a state is entitled to the sovereign right to invite another state to intervene militarily on its territory. This type of consensual use of military force is an exception to the rules on prohibition of use of force among states, and unlawfulness is precluded through such governmental consent. The extent to which a government is entitled to invite has been d
