Occupational health and safety management systems are widely used as a systematic approach to managing occupational health and safety in organizations. One important element of which is the development of Standard Operating Procedures to ensure uniform written safety procedures throughout the organization. Such procedures are sometimes restrictive and inadequate to deal with the dynamic and changi
The purpose of this study was to examine how social workers who work with assessing financial aid in the social services experience their dual role as supporter and controller when they suspect their clients of social assistance fraud. Even how this affects the relationship with the clients is studied. To conduct this study, I chose a qualitative method in the form of interviews. The selection was
The aim of this study is to examine how dynamic way-finding systems affect risk perception for evacuating people. This was done by examining how perceived risk, choice of exit and emotional factors were affected in an evacuation experiment performed in Virtual Reality. Two scenarios were created for the experiments, one with a dynamic way-finding system and one with a static evacuation system. Thi
Sättet som världen presenterar sig för våra sinnesorgan är genom en kontinuerlig ström av information, men vår upplevelse av den är uppdelad i diskreta händelser. Enligt eventsegmenteringsteorin är den här segmenteringen en inbyggd och automatisk del av mänsklig kognition. Omfattande forskning ger inte bara stöd åt den här teorin utan tyder också på att sättet vi delar upp händelser påverkar vårt The world presents itself to our sense organs as a continuous stream of input, yet we appear to conceive experiences in terms of discrete events. According to event segmentation theory, this segmentation is an intrinsic and automatic component of human cognition. A considerable body of research provides evidence for this claim and suggests further that the way we segment events has consequences fo
The number of low-cost particulate matter (PM) sensors available on the market has increased in recent years. They are affordable, compact and require no maintenance which means they easily can be deployed and utilized for real-time air monitoring. However, the accuracy of low-cost PM sensors has been reported to vary depending on several factors. This thesis aims to investigate and reduce errors
Under förberedelse och huvudförhandling i svenska rättssalar är domaren skyldig att bedriva så kallad materiell processledning, d.v.s. genom frågor och påpekanden se till att målet blir tillfredsställande utrett. Hur långt denna skyldighet sträcker sig hör till en av de mest debatterade frågorna inom processrätten, då långtgående processledning kan uppfattas som, eller rentav utgöra, opartisk rådgIn Swedish courtrooms judges has an obligation to direct the proceedings. This is mandatory not only during the preparatory proceeding but also during the main hearing. The purpose of the direction of proceedings is to ensure that the circumstances of the case is completely clarified. This is done by questions and remarks to the parties involved. The width of this responsibility is considered one
De svenska ränteavdragsbegräsningsreglernas förenlighet med EU-rätten har varit föremål för kritik sedan en lång tid tillbaka. Reglerna är tillämpliga på koncerninterna lån och syftar till att motverka både skatteflykt och att den svenska skattebasen eroderas genom fiktiva och konstlade upplägg. Enligt reglernas förarbeten fanns ingen avsikt att reglerna skulle träffa koncerner hemmahörande i SveThe Swedish interest deduction limitation rules compatibility with EU-law have been criticized for a long time. The rules are applicable to intra-group loans and are aimed to both protect the Swedish Tax base and to prevent tax avoidance through the use of artificial arrangements. According to the preparatory works the purpose of the rules was not to target groups of companies within Sweden. This
In the 1990’s there was a lot of discussions in the EU regarding energy and the need for a common EU energy market. Both for the sake of competition, but also in order to provide a stable supply of energy to all EU citizens. The EU began promoting an EU energy market. The first EU legal acts in this area concerned the establishment of an EU energy market and consequently to create competition be
The purpose of this study was to get a better understanding of how social workers at family centres perceive psychosocial support for new mothers and how social workers can contribute to a healthy transition to parenthood. To fulfil the purpose semi-structured individual interviews were conducted with four social workers working at family centres in different municipalities in Sweden. Bowlby’s att
Eutrophication is one of the most threatening issues to water quality in natural water. It can cause problems of the ecosystem, with for example, lowering the biodiversity of the community. The main reason for eutrophication in natural waters is the leakage of nutrients from nearby crop-fields. Too much of nutrients reaches the water and negatively interferes with the water community. To study the
3D-models of bone structures from computed tomography (CT) data can be used for surgical planning, education and a wide range of other purposes. They can also be used in both digital and 3D-printed format. The currently used process to obtain such models consists of a combination of thresholding, morphological operations and manual adjustments. This can be very time-consuming. Deep Learning (DL) c
It is becoming increasingly common for corporations to seek impact in society alongside profit and it is often argued that corporations should collaborate with startups. By collaborating with impact accelerators, intermediary organisations that support impact startups, corporations can gain access to innovation whilst having a positive impact on society and the environment. The purpose of this s
En av de mest fundamentala principerna inom den svenska aktiebolagsrätten är det begränsade personliga ansvaret som stadgas i 1 kap. 3 § ABL. Innebörden av regeln är att aktieägare som huvudregel endast svarar för tillskjutet kapital. Tack vare ansvarsbegränsningen har investeringar i riskfyllda affärsprojekt möjliggjorts. Från huvudregeln finns dock vissa lagstadgade associationsrättsliga bestämmOne of the most fundamental principles of the Swedish company law is the limitation of the shareholders’ liability to his or her capital contribution as stated in chapter 1. Article 3 in the Swedish Companies Act. Due to the limited liability of the shareholders, investments in hazardous buisnesses have been facilitated. Furthermore, Swedish statute law provides an expanded liability for sharehold
Vad krävs för att människor ska säga att en individ har utsatts för diskriminering? Tidigare forskning har framhävt främst två sätt att förklara vad som påverkar människor när de säger att diskriminering skett. Dessa är att människor baserar sin attribution på sin förförståelse om situationen och de som drabbas s.k. prototyper (“kvinnor har historiskt sett blivit mer diskriminerade”), samt att mänWhat is required for people to say that an individual has been discriminated against? Previous research has primarily focused on two ways of explaining what factors are at play when someone says discrimination has occurred. These claim that people base their attribution on their perceptions about the situation and victim, so called prototypes ("women have historically been more discriminated
Background Activity-Based Costing is a costing method arisen in 1980’s as a response to changed cost structures. As business had become less labour intensive, Kaplan and Johnson argued that the traditional management accounting methods, using direct labour as cost base, were out-dated. Instead, Activity-Based Costing is based on the costs for the activities that the products require. The methodolo
The problem: wearable eye trackers deliver eye-tracking data on a scene video that is acquired by a camera affixed to the participant’s head. Analyzing and interpreting such head-centered data is difficult and laborious manual work. Automated methods to map eye-tracking data to a world-centered reference frame (e.g., screens and tabletops) are available. These methods usually make use of fiducial
Background: Non-β-hemolytic streptococci (NBHS) cause blood stream infections (BSI) which can be complicated by infective endocarditis (IE). To stratify the risk for IE in NBHS BSI and to guide the use of echocardiography in this condition, two risk stratification systems (RSSs), the HANDOC score (HANDOC), and the Chamat-Hedemand algorithm (CH-A) have been developed.Objectives: To compare the sens
Comparative genomic analysis often involves visualization of alignments of genomic loci. While several software tools are available for this task, ranging from Python and R libraries to stand-alone graphical user interfaces, a tool is lacking that offers fast, automated usage and the production of publication-ready vector images. Here we present LoVis4u, a command-line tool and Python API designed
Background: Multidisciplinary team (MDT) meetings provide treatment recommendations based on available information and collective decision-making in teams with complementary professions, disciplines and skills. We aimed to map ancillary medical and nonmedical patient information during case presentations and case discussions in MDT meetings in cancer care. Methods: Through a nonparticipant, observ
