In most industrial product development projects, computer-based design analysis, or simply design analysis, is frequently utilized. Several design analysis process models exist in the literature for the planning, execution and follow-up of such design analysis tasks. Most of these process models deal explicitly with design analysis tasks within two specific contexts: the context of design evaluati
Streptococcus pneumoniae and Staphylococcus aureus are ubiquitous upper respiratory opportunistic pathogens. Individually, these Gram-positive microbes are two of the most common causative agents of secondary bacterial pneumonia following influenza A virus infection, and they constitute a significant source of morbidity and mortality. Since the introduction of the pneumococcal conjugate vaccine, r
INTRODUCTION. The diagnosis of acute lung injury may be more robust if more accurate physiological markers can be identified. Extravascular lung water index (EVLWI) may be useful and has been shown to correlate with respiratory function and mortality in patients with sepsis and ARDS. Whether this applies to a wider population, and which index performs best, are unclear. OBJECTIVES. We hypothesized
Avhandlingen beskriver och förklarar parlamentarismens utveckling i Västeuropa. Jag definierar parlamentarismen som ett institutionellt arrangemang där endast parlamentet kan hålla regeringen politiskt ansvarig, vilket i det västeuropeiska historiska sammanhanget innebär att statschefen saknar reellt inflytande över regeringens fortlevnad. Genom att samla data från historieforskning om parlamentenThis dissertation describes and explains the development of parliamentarism in Western Europe. Defining parliamentarism as an institutional solution in which the government is politically responsible to parliament only, I use country historiography to map out a tug-of-war between parliament and the head of state over the ability to make governments resign or maintain them in office in 11 West Euro
Aim: Macroecological analyses provide valuable insights into factors that influence how parasites are distributed across space and among hosts. Amid large uncertainties that arise when generalizing from local and regional findings, hierarchical approaches applied to global datasets are required to determine whether drivers of parasite infection patterns vary across scales. We assessed global patte
Agile has been touted as a concept to deal with and succeed in the fast-paced environment in which companies operate today. Based on this concept, practitioners have created frameworks and practices that have proven to bring benefits in software development. Looking to extend these benefits beyond software development, companies are launching large-scale agile transformation initiatives, however,
Background: The open abdomen is an innovation that greatly improved surgical understanding of damage control, temporary abdominal closure, staged abdominal reconstruction, viscera and enteric fistula care, and abdominal wall reconstruction. This article provides an evidence-informed, expert, comprehensive narrative review of the open abdomen in trauma, acute care, and vascular and endovascular sur
Background: Lead exposure is associated with cardiovascular disease. Atherosclerosis has been hypothesized to be one of the underlying mechanisms behind this association. Aim: To investigate whether lead exposure is associated with an increased risk of atherosclerosis in the carotid arteries in a large Swedish population-based cohort. Methods: We performed a cross-sectional study using data from t
Background: The Hawthorne Effect is the change in behaviour by subjects due to their awareness of being observed and is evident in both research and clinical settings as a result of various forms of observation. When the Hawthorne effect exists, it is short-lived, and likely leads to increased productivity, compliance, or adherence to standard protocols. This study is a qualitative component of an
BACKGROUND: Patellofemoral arthroplasty (PFA) is one option for the treatment of isolated patellofemoral osteoarthritis, but there are limited data regarding the procedure and results. Because isolated patellofemoral arthritis is relatively uncommon, available case series generally are small, and even within national registries, sample sizes are limited. Combining data from multiple registries may
The Taymyr Peninsula constitutes the eastern delimitation of a possible Kara Sea basin ice sheet. The existence of such an ice sheet during the last global glacial maximum (LGM), i.e. during the Late Weichselian/Upper Zyryansk, is favoured by some Russian scientists. However, a growing number of studies point towards a more minimalistic view concerning the areal extent of Late Weichselian/Upper Zy

Socio-economic rights have been described as the ''underdeveloped stepchild of the human rights family''. There has been a tendency to treat them as merely aspirational and it is frequently argued that they may not deserve the name of rights as they lack content and are considered ill-suited for enforcement. Owing to this, and because of the fact that their enjoyment has by their v
The rights of women living in societies ruled by laws based on Shari'a constitute a controversial question in the human rights debate in many countries today. Suggestions that these laws are of a divine nature, and as such cannot be overridden by the human rights principles of western origin leads to discussions in several areas, such as the right to religion, the human rights tradition in Mus
The International Criminal Court (ICC) was created as a compliment to domestic courts in the global fight against impunity. However, customary international law has afforded Heads of State with immunity from prosecution, even for serious international crimes. Some key challenges of international criminal law are to reconcile the competing objectives of maintaining stable international relations, a
Den 1 juli 2018 fick Sverige en ny våldtäktslagstiftning. Den nya lagstiftningen innebar att rekvisitet som skiljer olagligt och lagligt sexuellt umgänge förändrades. I tidigare våldtäktslagstiftning har tvång varit en förutsättning för att en våldtäkt skulle anses förövad. Med den nya regleringen står nu frivillighet i centrum för denna bedömning. Lagändringen föregicks av mycket debatt. Det diskOn the 1st of July 2018 Sweden changed the law on sexual assault. The new law meant that the prerequisite that separate sexual assault and legal sexual intercourse was changed. In previous legislation coercion was needed for a perpetrator to be convicted of sexual assault. The new law instead places voluntariness at the center of the court’s assessment. The amendment was preceded by much debate. T
Människosmuggling regleras i 20 kap. 8 § utlänningslagen (2005:716) och kriminaliserar uppsåtliga handlingar som syftar till att hjälpa en utlänning att komma in i eller passera genom Sverige. För straffbarhet för hjälp som getts via en inre gräns räcker att utlänningen kommit in på svenskt territorium. Rådets direktiv 2002/90/EG om definition av hjälp till olaglig inresa, transitering och visteThe offence of human smuggling is regulated in Chapter 20. Section 8 of the Swedish Aliens Act (2005:716) and criminalizes intentional acts aimed at facilitating irregular entry. For the punishment of an entry facilitated over an internal EU border, it is sufficient that the person has entered Swedish territory. The Facilitators Package is composed of Council Directive 2002/90/EC defining the fa
This thesis examines how consumers perceive race representation by iconic brands, aiming to bridge the knowledge gap in the areas of cultural branding, consumer culture, and ethics withi sustainability. Currently, there is limited research on the intersection of cultural branding and ethics within sustainability, particularly regarding racial representation. Given the growing importance of ethics
Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions, which primarily originate from the biological nitrogen removal process, dominate the release of greenhouse gases (GHGs) in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). N2O production occurs through dynamic microbial pathways that have a significant impact on the environment compared with other GHG emissions. Reducing these substantial emissions aligns with the objectives of
Det övergripande syftet med detta arbete är att undersöka läspraktiken Shared Readings möjligheter och begränsningar som läsfrämjande arbetssätt inom svensk gymnasieskola. Shared Reading är en läspraktik som fokuserar på det sociala och personliga i läsningen. Under ledning av en utbildad läsledare träffas Shared Reading-grupper regelbundet och läser en eller ett par utvalda texter högt. Under läsTranslated title – When we talk about it, I start to understand: Shared Reading as a reading promotion in upper secondary school.
