Popular Abstract in Swedish I forskningsarbetet som presenteras i denna avhandling har säkerhetskulturen studerats inom sjö- och flygtransportbranscherna med fokus på individers attityder och uppfattningar om säkerhetskulturen. En säkerhetskultur avspeglar de attityder, uppfattningar och värderingar som individer i en organisation delar när det gäller säkerheten. Säkerhetskulturen identifieras oftThe research presented in this thesis investigates sea and aviation transport safety culture, with a focus on perceptions and attitudes. A safety culture reflects the attitudes, beliefs, perceptions, and values that individuals share in relation to safety. Safety culture is often identified as being essential to an organization's ability to manage safety-related aspects of its operations. The aims

Popular Abstract in Swedish Den sedimentära lagerföljd som bygger upp Gotland avlagrades för drygt 400 miljoner år sedan (under silurperioden) i ett varmt tropiskt innanhav strax söder om ekvatorn. Innanhavet sträckte sig som en vid bukt in över dagens södra Skandinavien, Baltikum och vidare mot sydost, till Ukraina. Avhandlingen behandlar primärt hur sedimentationsmönster utvecklades under cirka The Silurian foreland of Scandinavia included a vast epicontinental carbonate platform system of which the island of Gotland (Sweden) is an erosional remnant. This thesis treats the Late Wenlock succession (Cyrtograptus lundgreni, Pristiograptus dubius parvus, Gothograptus nassa, Colonograptus(?) praedeubeli, and the Co(?) deubeli zones), and emphasises the sedimentology and biostratigraphy of the

New tools are being developed to estimate greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). There is a trend to move from empirical factors to simple comprehensive and more complex process-based models. Thus, the main objective of this study is to demonstrate the importance of using process-based dynamic models to better evaluate GHG emissions. This is tackled by defining a

Vaccines are essential public health tools with a favorable safety profile and prophylactic effectiveness that have historically played significant roles in reducing infectious disease burden in populations, when the majority of individuals are vaccinated. The COVID-19 vaccines are expected to have similar positive impacts on health across the globe. While serious allergic reactions to vaccines ar

Background: Most literature on second primary cancers (SPCs) focuses on possible factors, which may increase the risk of these cancers, and little attention has been paid for the overall incidence differences between first primary cancers (FPCs) and same SPCs. We wanted to compare the incidence rates for all common cancers when these were diagnosed as FPCs and SPCs after invasive and in situ squam

BACKGROUND: The use of global gene expression profiling is a well established approach to understand biological processes. One of the major goals of these investigations is to identify sets of genes with similar expression patterns. Such gene signatures may be very informative and reveal new aspects of particular biological processes. A logical and systematic next step is to reduce the identified

This article sets out to study the ways in which reactions and adaptations to modernity and societal change among non-elite communities in late nineteenth-century Sweden are visible in contemporary attitudes to social deviants and nonconformists. In Swedish provincial cultures, narratives about local characters in the oral tradition played a significant part in regional identity formation in the n

The intake of anthocyanin rich-foods, such as bilberries has been associated with a reduced risk of developing cardiovascular-related diseases. Similarly, the cardiovascular benefits of oat consumption are well known and are mainly due to its cholesterol-lowering and hypoglycemic effects. A randomized double-blinding clinical trial has been designed to investigate the cardiovascular beneficial eff

Changing environmental conditions can generate physiological stress in birds, which subsequently can lead to the development of an altered diet. In addition to their energetic properties, dietary fatty acids (FAs) have been linked to several important physiological processes in birds, but still the knowledge of their effect on avian ecology is limited. In this study, I examine the fatty acid compo

Denna uppsats följer riktningen mot erkännande av en rätt till nationalitet som en mänsklig rättighet och rätten att inte bli godtyckligt fråntagen sin nationalitet specifikt. Förbudet mot godtyckligt fråntagande av nationalitet är uttryckligen fastställt i flera internationella och regionala mänskliga rättighetsinstrument, så som den allmänna förklaringen av mänskliga rättigheter (artikel 15(2));This thesis traces the trend towards recognition of the right to a nationality as a human right, and the right to not be arbitrarily deprived of one’s nationality in particular. The prohibition of “arbitrary deprivation of nationality” is explicitly stipulated in several international and regional human rights instruments, such as the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (Article 15(2)); the Arab

The aim of this Master´s thesis is to explore how the public libraries in Sweden work with children´s and youth´s independent, aesthethic and artistic creations and play as new ways for stimulating and developing children´s reading. The method is a literature study which gives an overview of the theories and the research on Children´s culture concept and The Concept of participation, the meaning o

Organic solar cells made of polymers are an attractive alternative to the conventional solar cells which are commercially used today. The polymer solar cell is cheap to produce, due to the high absorption coefficients which limits the needed thickness of the material and due to the simple manufacturing process, which doesn’t demand high temperatures. However, the efficiencies of polymer solar cell

This Master’s thesis was done in collaboration with ABB Force Measurement and the task was to develop a product design concept of an electronic unit, used as a controller in ABB Force Measurement’s product systems. As part of the result a guide to be used when working with industrial design questions was also made. ABB Force Measurement develops measurement products mostly used by the rolling mil

Hemodialysis is today the main treatment used for patients with renal impairment, a serious medical condition. Hemodialysis treatment handles a very delicate system which is why it is of the utmost importance that the dialysis machine has got a reliable safety monitoring system that can detect severe complications during treatment. A new such system is currently under development at Gambro, Lund,

Abstract Author: Annelie Paulsson Title: They are so charming individuals – About Children’s Advocacy centres (”Barnahus”), collaboration and the child’s right to be listen to. Supervisor: Claes Levin Assessor: Staffan Blomberg The purpose of this study was to examine how children are treated, to what extent they are allowed a voice of their own, and whether or not this voice is heard in the proce

Polismän i Sverige är utrustade med en laga befogenhet att använda våld för att fullgöra de uppgifter och mål som för polisens räkning ställs upp i lag, så som att beivra brott och skydda allmänheten. Härmed krävs bland annat att våldet är proportionerligt och försvarligt i förhållande till dess syfte för att det ska anses tillåtet. Vidare tillkommer en nödvärnsrätt för alla individer, och således

Rätten till utveckling (på engelska “Right to development” (RTD)) är en mänsklig rättighet som har bekräftats av FN: s generalförsamling i ”the Declaration on the Right to Development” (DRD) från 1986. Rätten har också bekräftats av flera internationella deklarationer och två regionala mänskliga rättighetskonventioner, ”the African [Banjul] Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights” och “Arab Charter oThe right to development (RTD) is an inalienable human right that has been affirmed by the United Nations General Assembly in the Declaration on the Right to Development (DRD), in 1986. The right has also been reaffirmed by several international declarations and in two regional human rights conventions, the African [Banjul] Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights and Arab Charter on Human Rights, and

Problem definition: In the Swedish construction projects, there is a role "logistics manager" whose assignment is to manage the logistics at the production site. Exactly how and which logistic related tasks they perform is uncertain. The study’s aim is to find some general patterns and methods that are used by the role holders.
Purpose: The study aims to contribute to t

Control of musculoskeletal systems depends on integration of voluntary commands and somatosensory feedback in the complex neural circuits of the spinal cord. It has been suggested that the various connectivity patterns that have been identified experimentally may result from the many transcriptional types that have been observed in spinal interneurons. We ask instead whether the muscle-specific de
