Abstract in Danish Afhandlingens hovedproblemstillinger er: Hvilken betydning har det for danske socialarbejderes vurderinger og handlinger i børnefamiliearbejdet, at et barn og dets familie ikke er etniske danskere? Denne problemstilling undersøges gennem tre empiriske undersøgelser: Familieplejeundersøgelsen består af en journalundersøgelse af 44 anbragte etniske minoritetsbørns journaler samt The dissertation studies how social workers ensure continuity in relation to the individual child's background when placing and working with children of ethnic minority background in care. This is studied through 44 sets of case study notes from a foster-care association and interviews with 10 foster-care consultants. These two types of data are analysed through three perspectives: a continuity pe

Popular Abstract in Swedish Ökad förståelse för hjärtats pumpfunktion är av stort intresse för att kunna förbättra diagnostik, behandling och prognoser för hjärtsjuka patienter. Blodflöde i hjärtat är direkt kopplat till hjärtats form och rörelse och kan därför vara en viktig markör för hjärtats funktion. Därför var målet med denna avhandling att utveckla och förbättra mätningar av blodflöde med hIncreased understanding of the pumping mechanics of the heart are of great importance to develop diagnostics, treatment and prognostics for cardiovascular diseases. Blood flow in the heart is connected to its anatomy and function, and may therefore be a sensitive marker of cardiac health and disease. Therefore, the aim of this thesis is to develop and validate methods for quantification and visual

The main functions of estrogen are associated with reproduction. However, estrogen has been shown to be of functional importance also in non-classic target organs. Previous studies, especially epidemiologic and clinical ones, have addressed estrogen's influence on periodontitis, suggesting that estrogen has a beneficial effect, but the biological mechanisms have not been identified. Estrogen exert

The overall aim of this thesis was to study life satisfaction (LS) and factors associated to LS in the group aged 78 and above. As an aid in interpreting the findings, Baltes’ and Baltes’ theory of selective optimisation with compensation (SOC) was used. All four studies included the same studypopulation who were followed for three years in the study Good Aging in Skåne, a national, randomized, po

Aim/hypothesis: Human enteroviral infections are suggested to be associated with type 1 diabetes. However, the mechanism by which enteroviruses can trigger disease remains unknown. The present study aims to investigate the impact of enterovirus on autophagy, a cellular process that regulates beta cell homeostasis, using the clonal beta cell line INS(832/13) and human islet cells as in vitro models

Diabetic muscle atrophy is an inflammation-related complication of type-2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Even though regular exercise prevents further deterioration of atrophic status, there is no effective mediator available for treatment and the underlying cellular mechanisms are less explored. In this study, we investigated the therapeutic potential of MCC950, a specific, small-molecule inhibitor of

Background: Intraventricular haemorrhage (IVH) is a major complication of preterm birth. Large haemorrhages are associated with a high risk of disability and hydrocephalus. Instability of blood pressure and cerebral blood in the newborn flow are postulated as causative factors. Another mechanism may involve reperfusion damage from oxygen free radicals. It has been suggested that phenobarbital stab

Produkter framställda från massa är en del av vardagen. Med produkter så som kaffefilter, förpackningar till mat och mjukpapper. Dessa är ett resultat av trä som behandlats i massabruk för att producera massa, som de tidigare nämnda pappersprodukterna är producerade från. Den moderna pappers och massaindustrin är energiintensiv och står för stora utsläpp utifrån ett globalt perspektiv, ansvarig föProducts made from pulp are a part of everyday life. With end products like coffee filters, food packaging and tissue paper. These products are the result of wood being processed in pulp mills to produce the pulp from which the forementioned paper products are produced. The modern pulp and paper industry is energy intense and on a global perspective a large emitter of greenhouse gasses, accounting

Inom ett par år kommer det nya materialforskningscentret ESS, The European Spallation Source, att stå färdigbyggt. Det kommer då vara det mest avancerade forskningsinstitutet i sitt slag och leverera upp till 30 gånger fler neutroner än någon annan neutronkälla i världen. En av de viktigaste komponenterna på ESS är det s.k. strålmålet som består av nästan 7000 bitar av det metalliska grundämnet voThe European Spallation Source (ESS), which is currently under construction in Lund, will use pure tungsten as the spallation neutron target. The tungsten will be irradiated by a 2 GeV proton beam, pulsed at a repetition rate of 14 Hz. Each pulse will deposit 357 kJ in the tungsten causing an instantaneous temperature rise of approximately 100 °C, during the 2.86 ms pulse duration. The target is w

In blood, the oxygen-transporting protein hemoglobin (Hb) governs the oxygenation of cells and tissues. Naturally, this protein has claimed a place in the center of the research field of artificial oxygen therapeutics. Such Hb-based products have used cell-free Hb purified from human, bovine, invertebrate, or recombinant sources to create hemoglobin-based oxygen carriers (HBOCs). However, administ

The Office of the Prosecutor (OTP) of the International Criminal Court (ICC) faces massive evidentiary problems due to flawed state-cooperation, limited access to sites of atrocity and an insufficient budget. Meanwhile, potentially relevant digital open-source information abounds, as citizens increasingly turn to social media to spread awareness of human rights violations and possible internationa

Deepwater drilling operates high hazardous and complex systems. Technological and operational complexities, harsh environmental conditions, geological uncertainties, and high-pressure flammable fluids are some of the critical factors that pose clear threats towards safe operations and may result in high consequence events, as the Macondo blowout in 2010. The continuous demand for oil and gas push

Denna uppsats baserar sig på en utredning av Försäkringskassan, som presenterades i maj 2005. Titeln var Utredning om könsneutralt och delat barnbidrag. Försäkringskassan hade fått i uppdrag av regeringen att utreda förutsättningarna för att göra lagstiftningen kring barnbidraget könsneutral och införa en möjlighet för föräldrarna att kunna dela bidraget mellan sig. Den nuvarande barnbidragslagsti

When evaluating future technologies for smart metering and automatic meter reading (AMR) E.ON Elnät Sverige AB has set up a pilot to test a communication technology supplied by Connode AB. Connode have developed a mesh radio solution based on 6LoWPAN, IPv6 over Low Powered Wireless Personal Area Network. By using this technology the communication unit on every meter is acting as both receiver and

ABB has identified a potential in decreasing their levels of capital employed and in particular net working capital, NWC. To release tied up capital from the balance sheet, a decision was taken to start an initiative with focus on NWC. The focus area is to reduce NWC as percentage of revenues and to reduce the levels of overdues. The objective of this report is to describe a methodology for decrea
