BACKGROUND: The "Managing Fatigue" (MF) programme can help people living with Multiple sclerosis (MS) manage fatigue in their everyday lives. The programme has been proven feasible with Swedish occupational therapists, but there is a lack of knowledge of how MS participants experience the programme, and what they learned from participating in the programme.AIM: To describe how Swedish MS participa
Background: Endocrine-disrupting compounds (EDCs) are ubiquitous substances that are found in our everyday lives, including pesticides, plasticizers, pharmaceutical agents, personal care products, and also in food products and food packaging. Increasing epidemiological evidence suggest that EDCs may affect the development or progression of breast cancer and consequently lead to lifelong harmful he
The carbon cycle of tropical terrestrial vegetation plays a vital role in the storage and exchange of atmospheric CO2. But large uncertainties surround the impacts of land-use change emissions, climate warming, the frequency of droughts, and CO2 fertilization. This culminates in poorly quantified carbon stocks and carbon fluxes even for the major ecosystems of Africa (savannas and tropical evergre
This thesis aims to describe and analyze three different solutions on how to make vaccines for COVID-19 available from a patent law perspective under the Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS). Under the TRIPS, patent law provides exclusive rights for vaccine inventors to prevent or stop others from commercially exploiting the patented invention for 20 years. Du
Bakgrund: I Sverige insjuknar årligen ett stort antal personer i stroke. Stroke är den vanligaste sjukdomsorsaken till bestående funktionsnedsättning och medför flest antal vårddagar på sjukhus. Tidig understödd utskrivning från sjukhus till hemmet (Early Supported Discharge) erbjuds enligt de nationella riktlinjerna för vård vid stroke för personer med lindrig till måttlig stroke. Syfte: Att karBackground: In Sweden a large number of people fall ill with stroke every year. Stroke is the most common cause of permanent disability and results in the largest number of hospital days. Early Supported Discharge is offered according to the national guidelines of mild to moderate stroke. Aim: To map how persons with mild to moderate stroke experienced the home environments significance for th
There are several examples of studies that cover rebel-to-party transformations, yet most only focus on the issue in the context of negotiated peace agreements. This thesis aims to apply theories of insurgency studies combined with strategic analysis of war termination in a comparative case study, to see under what circumstances voluntary rebel-to-party transformation may occur. The cases were sel
The law from 1994, the Swedish Act concerning support and service for persons with certain functional impairments (LSS) is an entitlement law that is meant to guarantee good living conditions and self-determination for different groups with disabilities. However, studies have shown that coercive measures still occur within organizations bound by the law. The aim of this study was to examine the re
An LSS resident has been built, a resident with users that suffers from mental disabilities, a passive house by Karnfastigheter. In this project the technology of the passive house concept has been applied on a new area. An evaluation of the passive house Prisman 7 will show if the building works as projected. The energy values are taken from the building when it is in operational condition. The c
Large and mature companies often struggle with their capability of introducing radical innovations, as they can be in conflict with existing business model, processes and bureaucracy. A vital phase of the radical innovation process is the first phase, called the Fuzzy Front End. Scholars claim that FFE activities are entailed with much complexity and uncertainty, yet crucial for a company’s compet
The scientific consensus on climate change is clear, but the social consensus in the United States has yet to concur. Mainstream explanations for the failure of the American public to engage the climate change problem often refer to an information deficit or lacking political will, but have not proven sufficient in accounting for such behavior. A deeper look reveals that the problem lies at the so
Den här uppsatsen syftar till att utreda hur den kinesiska nationalismen används som ett maktverktyg för den icke-demokratiska regimen i Kina i syfte att legitimera sin makt hos den kinesiska befolkningen. Studien utreder Kinas inblandning i konflikten om Spratlyöarna och hur den kinesiska retoriken i konflikten används för att skapa sammanhållning och legitimitet för det Kinesiska kommunistiska pThe purpose of this paper is to investigate how the Chinese nationalism is used as a power tool for the non-democratic regime in China to legitimize its power within the Chinese people. The study investigate Chinas involvement in the conflict of the Spratly Islands and how the Chinese rhetoric is used to create cohesion and legitimacy for the Chinese communist party (CCP), and not the global impac
The world today stands at a cross roads when it comes to energy and electrical grids. A large part of the worlds population still lacks access to reliable working electricity 24 hours a day. Much of this is in remote and poor parts of the world. For much of the 20th century large centralized AC grids have been the norm to provide people with electricity. But for remote parts of the world including
Det finns olika teorier kring vem som bevisbördan ska falla på inom tvistemål när det råder oenighet kring huruvida ett visst rättsfaktum ligger för handen. Bevissäkringsteorin är en av dessa. Bevissäkringsteorin innebär att bevisbördan läggs på den som har haft det lättast för att säkra bevisning. Mot bevissäkringsteorin konkurrerar de materiella bevisteorierna. Dessa teorier förespråkar att beviThere are different theories regarding who should carry the burden of proof within civil cases when there is controversy regarding whether or not a certain fact is at hand. The theory of securing evidence is one of these. The theory of securing evidence states that the burden of proof should be placed on whomever has an easier time of securing evidence. The material theories of evidence compete wi
The demand for high data rates in a wireless communication system has experienced a remarkable growth over the last years. This demand is continually increasing with the growing number of wirelessly connected devices. Thus, there is a continuing hunt for increasing the data transmission rate in wireless communication systems. To increase the data rate, the modern wireless communication system cann
Uppsatsens syfte är att åskådliggöra den preventionistiska strömningen inom straffrätten och de uttryck den tar sig för att bekämpa terrorism. Framställningen står på två ben, förfältsgärningar och preventiva tvångsmedel, och de båda delarna redogörs inledningsvis var för sig. Först presenteras de osjälvständiga brottsformerna i allmänhet och sedan redogörs för de specifika gärningar som återfinnsThis thesis is mainly concerned with the inchoate offences and the preventive coercive measures in the Swedish criminal law, with a specific focus on the antiterrorism-legislation. My aim is to visualize the broad deterrentist trend, which in this thesis is called “preventionism”. To do so, the dependent forms of crime in general are presented in the first part, together with the specific inchoate
This is the report of a thesis work about controlling an autonomous wheel loader. The objective of the work was to create a complete prototype of an autonomous wheel loader that can operate without any seated driver and without any kind of remote controlling. Another important objective was that this prototype needs to support future development of the autonomous wheel loader. The work was complet
The web server is an essential component of many systems today. It has the possibility to give access to files with sensitive information and it is the backbone that enable a vast amount of applications. This makes it critical to ensure that files are only accessed and altered by intended users and that web servers are always up and running when expected. One important aspect of doing this is to e

The time period examined is between 2000 and 2018 and is limited to accidents where 30 people or more lost their lives. The method that underlies the work is an event study that, together with statistical tests, investigates the effect of airplane crashes. Historical data in th
Uppsatsen utreder plenumbestämmelsens tillämpningsproblem inom straffrätten och hur förutsebarheten för den enskilde påverkas av att plenumbestämmelsen lyser med sin frånvaro. Prejudikaträtten är inte absolut i Sverige. Men detta innebär inte att ändringar av prejudikat ska ske med lätthet, utan en strävan att upprätthålla förutsebarheten för den enskilde är viktig. Med anledning av detta finnerThe essay examines the absence of the application by the Supreme Court of plenary sessions, which is necessary for establishment of precedent in the Swedish legal system, within the penal law and how the predictability in individual cases thus suffers. The precedence principal is not consistently adhered to by the Swedish legal system. This does not suggest that changes of precedent should be ma
