This study aims to analyze the effects of competition on quality, efficiency, produced volume and gaming the system of specialized health care in Sweden, after implementation of the Freedom of Choice Act (LOV, Lagen om Vårdval). This is done by using data for specialized ophthalmology, which is a patient-elective diagnostic category. The motive behind the law, which established free entry for priv
This thesis has two major purposes: (1) to create a 3D virtual “reconstructive” model of the peristyle with the nymphaeum wall (room b) of the house V 1,7 (House of the Bronze Bull) in Pompeii, and (2) to prepare a probability map based on this model that will show the reliability level for each individual part. The author underlines the importance of recording paradata of the entire workflow. The

The spread of multiuse landscape worldwide has drastically increased humanwildlife interactions and especially negative impacts of wildlife on human assets. Human-wildlife interactions threaten both biodiversity conservation and farmers’ livelihood, especially in low-income areas where farming practices are their main source of income. In Zimbabwe, wildlife damage to crops and livestock creates te

Introduction: Dried blood spot sampling is an alternative way to conventional blood sampling that could potentially be a large benefit for certain patient groups. A good example is the transplanted patient group treated with the immunosuppressants everolimus and sirolimus. Background: The challenge is to develop a reliable quantification method based on this relatively novel sampling technique.
Detta är en kvalitativ studie som syftar till att undersöka hur transpersoner från deras egna perspektiv diskuterar utsatthet för hatbrott och den eventuella påverkan det medför. Syftet baserades dels på ett nyligen tillkommit hatbrottsmotiv för könsöverskridande identitet och uttryck samt dels en brist på kvalitativ forskning om hatbrott mot transpersoner. Den fråga som ämnades att besvaras var:
Examining the relation between Swedish households’ debt, property price and interest rates are important when forming monetary policy implications. Several studies have examined the driving factors of household debt and property price, however the results are inconclusive. This thesis differs from previous research as it includes the variable interest to income ratio, instead of debt ratio, as the
ABSTRACT Raising temperatures and climate variability have intensified extreme weather events worldwide. These extremes can enhance and trigger possible pest outbreaks. Bark beetle attacks have become a major concern in regions with extensive spruce forest areas. Southeastern Sweden has faced repeated outbreaks resulting in widespread tree loss. By observing historic climate data for the main coun

Mitigation of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions is essential for us humans to curb climate change. Around a fifth of the anthropogenic GHG emissions stem from the construction sector. Much come from energy used for space and water heating within buildings, but an increasing proportion comes from the manufacturing of the building materials and is virtually embodied within buildings. This is called Emb
In the coming decades, the twin energy and digital transitions will require the rapid scaling and deployment of renewable energy technologies and advanced technologies within ‘critical raw materials’ (CRMs) are essential components. At the same time, as CRM reserves are heterogeneously distributed, concentrated in a few countries with refining in even fewer still, demand is expected to outstrip su
EU:s koncentrationsförordning syftar till att skydda konkurrensen på den inre marknaden från skada som orsakas av betydande strukturella förändringar, genom att säkerställa att företagsförvärv och fusioner leder till ökad tillväxt och en högre levnadsstandard inom EU.
