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

Ekologisk kompensation och habitatbanker i kommunalt planarbete När exploateringar sker eller markanvändningen av ett område förändras kan vårt naturkapital påverkas negativt. Naturkapitalet är jordens samlade tillgångar och tjänster som vi människor bygger upp vårt samhälle på. Naturkapitalet består av bland annat den arter och naturtyper, ekosystemtjänster och upplevelsevärden kopplade till natBiodiversity offsets and habitat banking in municipal planning Biodiversity offsetting is used to prevent loss of natural capital in connection with new developments. Biodiversity offsetting, which is based on the polluter pay-principle, means that those who cause loss or damage to nature values such as species, habitats or ecosystem services should make up for it by creating or ensuring correspo

The focus of this thesis is energy justice and sustainability science, and the argument is based on a case study of the Inga dams. Substantial further development of hydropower is planned at the Inga dams, located on the Congo River in the Democratic Republic of Congo. While the project will add macro-economic benefits through the additional power, benefits are limited for people living nearby, a

Sammanfattning Aktiv eutanasi och assisterat självmord är två frågor som tidvis dyker upp i den allmänna debatten i Sverige. Det är dock få politiker som vill ta i frågan, detta trots att en betydande del av det svenska folket är positivt inställda till att tillåta aktiv eutanasi. Genom åren har ett antal rättsfall berört frågan om aktiv eutanasi men rättsläget över vissa typer av aktiv eutanasi äSummary Active euthanasia and assisted suicide are two issues that from time to time appear in the Swedish public debate. It is however few politicians that want to bring up the issues, in spite of that a considerate part of the Swedish population have positive attitude to legalise active euthanasia. Through the years a number of cases have addressed the issue about active euthanasia but the legal

The Swedish transport administration (Trafikverket) uses turnkey contracts as a tool in their work with the assignment from the Swedish government to increase innovation and productivity in the construction sector which railway is included in. Qualitative interviews of the three different actors: clients (Trafikverket), constructors and consults have been made for the study. This is to get a pictu

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 svenska familjerättsliga regleringen har sedan länge präglats av strävan att söka tillgodose barnets intresse i relation till föräldrarna. Ett tydligt uttryck för denna strävan finner man i föräldrabalkens 6 kap. 2 a § där det stadgas att barnets bästa ska vara avgörande för alla beslut om vårdnad, boende och umgänge. En ytterligare strävan i den familjerättsliga regleringen har varit att sökaSwedish family law has long been governed by the aspiration to accommodate the interests of the child, rather than that of the parents. A distinct expression of this aspiration can be found in a provision of the Swedish Children and Parents code, 6 chapter § 2 a. In this provision it is stated that the best interests of the child shall be the determining factor in all decisions regarding custody,

The effects of visual feedback in writing have mainly been investigated in the context of L1 handwriting and findings generally point to the detrimental effects of visual suppression, in terms of lower quality of the text, shorter clauses and lack of coherence. An investigation of visual feedback effects in computer-based L2 text production has not been undertaken yet. More specifically, findings

Supernovor är några de kraftfullaste händelserna vi ser bland stjärnor. När stjärnor, mycket mer massiva än vår egen, bränner upp sitt bränsle tynar de inte bara bort, utan exploderar i vad vi kallar en Typ II supernova. På motsatta sidan kan lättare stjärnor i sina sista tillstånd som vita dvärgar fånga upp för mycket massa och explodera som Typ I supernovor. Båda dessa fallen har en stor betydelThe momentum and energy injection from supernovae is one of the main feedback modes, and is therefore key to the understanding of galaxy evolution and star formation. However, due to low resolution, large scale galaxy simulations often have issues with accurately modelling supernovae, and therefore rely on sub-grid models. This is especially true for the injected momentum, where capturing the mome

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

När någon går bort försvinner inte det den avlidne efterlämnar sig automatiskt. Ett dödsbo bildas som omfattar den avlidnes tillgångar och skulder. Normalt sett kommer dödsboet att förvaltas av dödsbodelägarna, det vill säga de som på något sätt kommer ha del av det som ingår i dödsboet genom arv eller genom testamente. Det ska eventuellt göras en bodelning mellan efterlevande make och dödsboet. DWhen a person passes away, an estate takes form which includes all the deceased’s assets and liabilities. Normally the estate is being taken care of by the parties to the estate. The parties to the estate is everyone who has a rightful claim on the estate, either by heritage according to Swedish law or according to a will from the deceased. Sometimes a division of the joint property between the sp

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

Kränkande särbehandling är ett begrepp som innefattar bland annat vuxenmobbning, trakasserier och sexuella trakasserier. Kränkande särbehandling genom mobbning regleras i svensk rätt främst genom arbetsmiljörätten. Arbetsmiljön ska enligt arbetsmiljölagen vara tillfredsställande och arbetsgivaren ska vidta alla åtgärder som behövs för att förebygga att arbetstagare drabbas av ohälsa.

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

We present new major and trace element data, as well as Sm–Nd isotope compositions for Archaean supracrustal rocks and a gabbro-anorthosite complex from the island of Storø in Godthåbsfjord, southern West Greenland. We also provide new U–Pb isotope data for zircon extracted from these rocks. The Storø rocks have experienced amphibolite facies metamorphism, and the entire sequence forms an east-dip

Background: Chronic pain patients frequently suffer from psychological symptoms. There is no consensus concerning the prevalence of severe anxiety and depressive symptoms and the strength of the associations between pain intensity and psychological distress. Although an important aspect of the clinical picture is understanding how the pain condition impacts life, little is known about the relative
