This Master’s thesis analyzes the narratives that are used to portray the LGBTQ+ community and how they relate to the political parallelism of the Polish media system. The focus is on the online edition of TVP Info – the news channel of TVP, Poland’s public service broadcaster. The research investigates the structural changes of the media system, which occurred after the Law & Justice Party (P
Aim: The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between maximum oxygen uptake (VO2PEAK) and body fat in young children on a population-based level. Methods: Participants were 586 children (311 boys and 275 girls) aged 6.8 +/- 0.4 years, recruited from a population-based cohort. VO2PEAK was measured by indirect calorimetry during a maximal exercise test. Percent body fat (BF%) wa
While only about 30% of California's usable water storage capacity lies at higher elevations, high-elevation (above 300 m) hydropower units generate, on average, 74% of California's in-state hydroelectricity. In general, high-elevation plants have small man-made reservoirs and rely mainly on snowpack. Their low built-in storage capacity is a concern with regard to climate warming. Snowmelt is expe
Environmental impacts from incineration, decentralised composting and centralised anaerobic digestion of solid organic household waste are compared using the EASEWASTE LCA-tool. The comparison is based on a full scale case study in southern Sweden and used input-data related to aspects such as source-separation behaviour, transport distances, etc. are site-specific. Results show that biological tr

The need for cost-effective linear motion is large in all sectors of industry and the linear actuator is one of the responses to this need. The purpose of this thesis was to search for alternative linear technologies to replace a pneumatic cylinder. The cylinder had certain attributes which the new technology had to reproduce. In order to attain all of these attributes a list of specifications fo
Den svenska missbruks- och narkotikamodellen bygger på en restriktiv straffrättslig kontroll med ett narkotikafritt samhälle som mål. Trots detta har Sverige idag högst narkotikarelaterad dödlighet i Europa. Portugal använder istället en modell där skademinimering är centralt och förvärv och innehav avsett för eget bruk samt eget bruk är avkriminaliserat. I dagsläget verkar också Norge ta in på etThe Swedish drug control strategy is based on restrictive criminal law where the goal is a society free from illicit drugs. However, today Sweden has the highest drug-related mortality in Europe. Countries like Portugal use a different model where harm reduction is central and acquisitions, personal possession and consumption are decriminalized. Norway is also taking an interest in switching to a
Inom svensk arbetsrätt är (SFS 1982:80) lagen om anställningsskydd den centrala lagstiftningen som reglerar anställningsform och hur en uppsägning får ske. Arbetstagaren har turordningsreglerna i 22§ Lag om anställningsskydd som skydd och i det anciennitetsprincipen (senioritetsprincipen), då arbetsgivaren anfört arbetsbrist inom verksamheten som uppsägningsskäl. Turordningsreglerna har varit In Swedish labor law (SFS 1982: 80), the Employment Protection Act is the central legislation that regulates the form of employment and how a termination may take place. The employee has the rules of priority in section 22 of the Employment Protection Act as protection and in the seniority principle, when the employer cites lack of work as a reason for termination. The rules of priority have been
Människokroppen förändras med ökad ålder. Rörelseapparaten, där skelett, leder och muskulatur ingår, påverkas av ökad ålder och där muskulaturen är mest ansatt. Ett vardagligt moment som att resa sig upp ifrån en stol kan därför bli svårt att utföra för äldre personer med en ökad risk för att falla. Den vanligaste olyckan i hemmet är fall. Var tredje person över 65-års ålder faller minst en gång The human body changes with increasing age. The locomotor system, where skeleton, joints and muscles are included, is affected with increased age where muscles are the most affected. A casual moment as rising from a chair will therefore be difficult to perform for older people and an increased risk of falling increases. The most common accident at home is falling accidents. Every third person ove
Ensuring food safety is an international goal and the Swedish national authority for food has just implemented a new system for risk-based food control. The new system for analyzing food businesses in a risk-based evaluation is based on EU-directives. The directive aims to use risk factors to evaluate food businesses when municipalities plan food safety inspections. In the former system for risk-b
For the evaluation of the imaging properties of medical radiographic systems there are well-established standards for measuring techniques available, e.g. ISO 9236 for the measurement of the H/D curve. However, such measuring techniques require sophisticated equipment which is not available in a clinical environment. For a clinical routine of image evaluation, techniques like contrast-detail diagr
Pre-treatment of sisal pulp prior to its anaerobic digestion was investigated using an activated sludge mixed culture under aerobic conditions in batch bioreactors at 37 degrees C. The progression of aerobic pre-treatment of the residue in relation to the activities of some extracellular hydrolytic enzymes in the slurry was monitored. The highest activity of hydrolytic enzymes was obtained at 9 h
Background: Retinoids are vital for embryonic development; both excesses and deficiencies of vitamin A are known to give similar patterns of birth defects. Concentrations of retinol in newborns and in pregnant women have been investigated, but concentrations of the biologically active metabolite all-trans retinoic acid and its isomer 13-cis retinoic acid have not. Objective: We measured serum conc
The aim of our study was to investigate the image the Swedish media present of cannabis and in particular hasch. We gathered all articles published during one month in the year 2002 and in 2012 in three major newspapers in Sweden. The newspapers examined where Dagens Nyheter, Aftonbladet and Metro. Through a social constructive perspective and discourse analysis as method we divided the content in
Of increasing interest in the field of protein modelling and simulation is the effects of crowding. In a living cell, large molecules can take up 30% of the cell plasma volume, and affects the folding and dynamics of proteins. Computer simulations have so far focused mainly on simple spherical crowders, but recent simulations with protein crowders have shown effects beyond what can be replicated u
Reverse Electrodialysis is today recognized as one of the most promising technology to harvest Salinity Gradient Power (SGP-RE). However, the effectiveness of SGP-RE in real practice is still not clearly defined due to the lack of specific studies in literature, being in large part limited to investigations on pure NaCl solutions. In this work we experimentally investigated the effect of Mg2+, the
Background: The Catquest-9SF questionnaire is a patient reported outcome measure that quantifies the visual benefits from cataract surgery. The purpose of this study was to translate and adapt the Catquest-9SF questionnaire for France, to assess its psychometric properties via Rasch analysis, and to assess its validity when completed using an electronic notepad. Methods: The Catquest-9SF questionn
Loss of appetite and negative energy balance are common features of endotoxemia in all animals and are thought to have protective roles by reducing nutrient availability to host and pathogen metabolism. Accordingly, fasting and caloric restriction have well-established anti-inflammatory properties. However, in response to reduced nutrient availability at the cellular and organ levels, negative ene
We present the catalog of optical and infrared counterparts of the Chandra COSMOS-Legacy Survey, a 4.6 Ms Chandra program on the 2.2 deg2 of the COSMOS field, combination of 56 new overlapping observations obtained in Cycle 14 with the previous C-COSMOS survey. In this Paper we report the i, K, and 3.6 μm identifications of the 2273 X-ray point sources detected in the new Cycle 14 observations. We
