Popular Abstract in Swedish Bostadsanpassning är en vanlig åtgärd inom kommunal service och rehabilitering. Avsikten är att ta bort fysiska miljöhinder i bostaden och den nära utemiljön för underlätta vardagliga aktiviteter och möjliggöra ett självständigt liv. Enligt svensk plan- och bygglagstiftning skall alla bostäder som byggs eller genomgår omfattande renoveringar vara tillgängliga och användHousing adaptation is a common intervention, in Sweden granted by municipal authorities, and performed in order to remove environmental barriers and enhance daily activities. In spite of increasing costs, efficient strategies for evaluation of the intervention are lacking. In this thesis, occupational therapy clients living in a south Swedish municipality and receiving housing adaptation grants we

Occlusion is the most common reason for lowered recognition yield in free-flow license-plate reading systems. (Non-)occluded characters can readily be learned in separate neural networks but not together. Even a small proportion of occluded characters in the training set will already significantly reduce the overall recognition yield. This paper shows that a modular network can handle a realistic

These guidelines are for practicing orthopedic surgeons who do not have a special interest in treatment of osteoporosis or prevention of falls, but who should have basic knowledge about how to prevent new fractures.

Increased QT dispersion and loss of sinus rhythm were both associated with sudden cardiac death in patients with transposition of the great arteries after Mustard and Senning operations at the early and late postoperative periods. A combination of increased QT dispersion with loss of sinus rhythm increases the positive predictive value for sudden cardiac death in patients with transposition of the

This article analyses the rule of law in the Digital Single Market with a particular focus on the recent Ligue des droits humains judgment (in case C-817/19), which deals with the PNR Directive (directive (EU) 2016/681). In that judgment, the CJEU essentially imposed additional safeguards on a legislative measure in an attempt to protect fundamental rights and the rule of law, rather than declarin

In the 20th century, Sweden distinguished itself as one of the most organized and participatory democracies in the world. But in the late 19th century the situation was much the opposite – Sweden had for Western Europe a low degree of suffrage, and low political participation. To explain the turnaround, this paper explores the evolution of a democratic political culture in the final third of the 1

Paleoklimatologi – läran om hur klimatet utvecklats genom jordens historia – ger oss referensramar för att sätta dagens klimat och möjliga framtida klimatförändringar i ett historiskt perspektiv. Till exempel visar nya analyser av historiska klimatarkiv att för norra halvklotet var perioden 1983-2012 sannolikt den varmaste på 1400 år. Vi ser även att vid den senaste värmeperioden, för 125 000 år s

How do you attract visitors to your city? How do you manage to be visible in the information flow for potential visitors? Urban Destination Marketing Organisations (DMO) operate in a fast changing environment with ongoing challenges to face. Digitalisation is one of the issues that DMOs have to handle. As a result, we can see that many tourism offices are closed down in Sweden. However, has new

The online-coupled 3-D chemistry transport model COSMO-MUSCAT was enhanced by a detailed description of aqueous phase chemical processes. The aqueous phase chemistry is represented by the detailed chemical mechanism CAPRAM 3.0i reduced (C3.0RED). In addition, the deposition schemes were improved in order to account for the deposition of matter incorporated in cloud droplets of ground layer clouds

There is a scarcity of instruments for assessing opportunities for residentswith psychiatric disabilities to engage in meaningful home-based activities.We thus developed the Perceived Meaning of Activity in Housing (PMA-H),containing four subscales (activity opportunities, social interaction, developingas a person, and organization and planning). The aim of the study was to investigate the content

People with psychiatric disabilities need to be able to express their views about their support, for example, the provision of meaningful activity in supported accommodation. Brief scales may be necessary to avoid strain and discomfort for this group. The aim was to develop a brief version of Perceived Meaning in Activity—Housing (PMA-H) an

This report presents basic concepts around resources, resource efficiency and the Circular Economy. The limitations and the opportunities within the Circular Economy are identified and clearly presented. The current policy landscape in the EU as well as in Sweden is thoroughly analysed and a set of policy areas with a significant untapped potential for resource efficiency is identified. The policy

The study of airborne bacteria relies on a sampling strategy that preserves their integrity and in situ physiological state, e.g. viability, cultivability, metabolic activity, and ice-nucleation activity. Because ambient air harbors low concentrations of bacteria, an effective bioaerosol sampler should have a high sampling efficiency and a high airflow. We characterize a high-flow-rate impinger wi

In recent years, Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX) has become an important technology providing wireless connections for mobile terminals in a wireless Metropolitan Area Network (MAN), due to its large radio range. In a MAN environment, wireless clients always have high mobility; therefore, it is possible that the mobile clients will move away from the service coverage of ser

The main purpose of this thesis report is to examine the theory of ecosystems within the mobile industry and to create a framework that makes it possible to comprehend and manage the value creation in a practical setting. The theoretical part is characterized by mobile ecosystems since they are considered as a fast pace sector where new innovations are ruling the market. Due to these circumstance

Under 2015 ansökte 162 877 personer asyl i Sverige. Av dessa asylsökande var 35 369 ensamkommande barn. Detta var en femdubbling jämfört med föregående år. När den som söker asyl är ett barn har denne fler rättigheter och högre krav ställs på mottagandet. Det ansågs därmed viktigt att skapa en metod för att fastställa huruvida dessa asylsökande verkligen var under 18 år. Rättsmedicinalverket fick In 2015, 162 877 people applied for asylum in Sweden. 35 369 of these asylum seekers were unaccompanied minors. This was a five-fold increase compared to the previous year. When an asylum seeker is an unaccompanied minor he or she should benefit of certain rights, including housing, schooling and potential family unification. It was therefore considered necessary to put in place a medical age asse

Digitaliseringen har revolutionerat våra samhällen. Hur vi kommunicerar och interagerar med varandra och hur vi handlar produkter och tjänster har över de senaste åren varit föremål för drastiska förändringar. Bakom dessa förändringar står ett fåtal digitala jättar. Trots att förändringarna har ökat konsumentvälfärden och i regel varit positiva, har farhågor lyfts. Detta har inte minst uppmärksammDigitalization has revolutionized our societies. How we communicate and interact with one another and how we purchase goods and services has changed drastically. A select few technological giants are the driving force behind these changes. Despite the increase in consumer welfare and the overall heightened standard of living, concerns have been raised, especially within the discourse of competitio
