This study analyses the importance of timing reconciliation in a conflict/peace process in order to reach a sustainable peace. There is a main divide in how the different scholars in the conflict resolution field define reconciliation in being a goal or a process, or both. Mostly reconciliation initiatives are worked with during the post-settlement period but in the protracted conflicts of today t
Gluten-free products have gained great attention in the last few years due to the growing incidence of celiac disease and the intolerance to gluten. The project is aimed to investigate the effects of adding PromOat, a good source of B-glucan to increase the fiber content and Guar-Gum to overcome the textural deformities in the gluten-free wheat starch Pan bread. Different levels of beta-glucan and
This thesis evaluates the ability of three hand-calculation models for estimating overpressure from hydrogen vapour cloud explosions. The models were the TNT, TNO and OHVE models. The aim was to assess their performance in realistic release environments and identify their strengths and limitations. Model predictions were validated against experimental data from three experimental setups: a refuell

Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka hur biståndshandläggare inom äldreomsorgen upplever och beskriver den inverkan som pandemins restriktioner har haft på sättet att kommunicera och samtala med äldre under Covid-19 och vilka förändringar som uteblivna hembesök har medfört. Studien och dess resultat bygger på en kvalitativ undersökning i form av sju semistrukturerade intervjuer med biståndshaThe aim of this study was to investigate how case managers in the eldercare experience and describe the effect that the pandemic restrictions have had on communication and on the ways case managers communicate with the elderly and what changes absent home visits have caused. The study and its results are based on seven qualitative interviews with case managers in Sweden. Thematic analysis has been
I denna uppsats har psykiskt störda lagöverträdares ansvarsförutsättningar i svensk- respektive dansk rättsordning undersökts. Sveriges val, att i samband med brottsbalkens införande 1965, avskaffa tillräknelighetsbestämmelserna, har genom åren mött en hel del kritik. Uppsatsen avser att besvara frågan kring huruvida ett tillräknelighetsrekvisit bör återinföras i svensk lagstiftning eller ej. DåThis thesis examines the conditions of liability for mentally disturbed offenders in the legal systems of Sweden and Denmark. Sweden’s decision to abolish the insanity defense provisions upon the introduction of the Penal Code in 1965 has faced considerable criticism over the years. This study aims to address whether a legal requirement for criminal accountability should be reintroduced into Swedi
Laglotten regleras i ärvdabalken (1958:637) 7 kap. 1 § och fungerar som ett arvsrättsligt skydd till förmån för bröstarvingar. Skyddet aktualiseras i de fall då en avliden valt att testamentera bort all kvarlåtenskap. Bröstarvingar har i dessa fall en lagstadgad rätt till hälften av den dödes arvslott. Laglottsregleringen infördes år 1857, men har som institut funnits betydligt längre inom svensThe statutory share of inheritance is regulated by the inheritance code (1958:637) 7 chap. 1 § and work as a protection for the forced heir to secure its right for inheritance. The protection is activated in those cases where a deceased person has chosen to not give any of the properties left to a forced heir. In these cases, the statutory share of inheritance gives the forced heir the right to a

This thesis aims to investigate the accident situation concerning children on their way to school. Using statistics from Swedish Traffic Accident Data Acquisition (STRADA), accident data for a five-year period has been analysed. The data covers the start of semester January 2010 to the end of semester December 2014, and includes children aged 7 to 17. The time of day considered is 06:00am-08:30am.
In a society where more and more production becomes automated it demands robots that are as flexible and versatile as humans. Such flexibility demands automatic scheduling of tasks. In this thesis we approach the problem using Constraint Programming and through a case study we present a model for a dual-armed robot that is able to deal with a more flexible workload. We also introduce filters to cu
In the last couple of years it has become more and more common to use control theory in computing systems, for instance operating systems, web servers and databases. The reason for this is to make these systems more robust and stable. This is of interest because we today are more dependent on computing systems in our everyday life, and therefore put higher demands on them. A lot of focus has been
Multimedia environments consist of verbal and visual representations that, if appropriately processed, allow for the construction of an integrated mental model of the content. Whereas much is known on how students learn from verbal representations, there are fewer insights regarding the processing of visual information, alone or in conjunction with text. This chapter uses a semiotics approach to p
The Asian steel industry produces 73 % of global steel and is expanding. The speed and plans for decarbonizing the Asian steel sector are thus globally important. Importing green Hot Briquetted Iron (HBI), iron ore reduced to iron with renewable hydrogen, from renewable-rich countries such as Australia, Brazil and South Africa, could be a good option to avoid constraints with access to renewables.
This thesis encompasses an introductory part and five papers related to developing techniques and phantoms required for the further growth of photoacoustic imaging (PAI). In PAI, images are created by detecting acoustic waves followed by the absorption of laser light, enabling high spatial resolution while maintaining high optical contrast. Due to the distinct absorption patterns of various chromo

BACKGROUND: – The clinical use of risk scores to guide treatment decisions and improve clinical outcomes has rarely been prospectively evaluated. This study aimed to evaluate whether a biomarker-based ABC-AF risk score–guided multidimensional treatment strategy improves long-term outcomes in patients with AF. METHODS: – The multicenter, registry-based, randomized, controlled, open-label study enro
Fluorescence spectroscopy has been applied to clinical tumour detection and to rmcroscopy. The fluorescence properties of biological tissue have been investigated within two clinical projects in order to discriminate tumours from normal surrounding tissue. Clinical studies have been performed on brain tumours in collaboration with the Department of Neurosurgery in Linkoping, and on urinary bladde
Background: The Clubfoot Assessment Protocol (CAP)is a multi dimensional instrument designed for longitudinal follow up of the clubfoot deformity during growth. Item reliability has shown to be sufficient. In this article the CAP's validity and responsiveness is studied using the Dimeglio classification scoring as a gold standard. Methods: Thirty-two children with 45 congenital c
