This dissertation investigates the function of the sea in contemporary British and Irish literature, focusing on the following three novels: Dermot Bolger’s Temptation (2000), John Banville’s The Sea (2005), and Ian McEwan’s On Chesil Beach (2007). The analysis is divided into two main parts, where the sea is considered in its roles as a setting and as a symbol. The former section starts with a su

With increasing urbanisation, cities face unique sustainability challenges and opportunities. The sharing economy emerges as a promising solution that can foster more efficient and circular use of urban resources through car sharing, accommodation rentals and the sharing of physical goods. It scrutinises traditional notions of consumption and ownership, business and community interaction. Digital

Background: Registry data used to monitor clinical care need to be reliable, and the process for assuring data quality transparent. Here the auditing process of the Swedish quality registry for cardiac disease, SWEDEHEART, is described. Methods: SWEDEHEART audits have been performed at 4 time-points in 2011 to 2018, with data quality audited in the 3 largest subregistries covering acute coronary s

Objective: Classification of fetal heart rate (FHR) decelerations as suspicious or pathological differs between current interpretation templates for intrapartum cardiotocography. Decelerations are the most frequent FHR pattern irregularities during labour. The aim of this study was to assess the association between different types and characteristics of decelerations and acidemia at birth. Methods

Climate change, characterized by an increase in extreme climatic events, poses a significant threat to forest productivity worldwide, potentially compromising its critical role in regulating the global carbon cycle. The response of forest productivity to compound events, such as hotter droughts, can be strongly modulated by functional traits. Forests dominated by acquisitive tree species (prioriti

The purpose of this study was to examine and illustrate whether employed social workers, working with supplementary benefits at a social service office, felt stressed. If so was the case, we wanted to investigate if this stress that they felt had any effect on their clients. This study was based on eight qualitative interviews, of which four was with social workers and four was with clients. For a

Myndighetschefer anställs av regeringen som en del av den så kallade utnäm-ningsmakten. Anställningen av myndighetschefer är emellertid inte helt dis-kretionär, den centrala regleringen på området, 12 kap. 5 § regeringsformen, stadgar att vid tillsättningen av dylika tjänster ska avseende endast fästas vid sakliga grunder. Uppsatsen utreder bakgrunden, intentionen och innebörden av denna regel. ViTop level-management in the Swedish civil service is appointed directly by the government. In this the government is not granted full discretion on whom to appoint. Chapter 12 § 5 of the Instrument of Government of the Swedish con-stitution states that in the appointment of civil servants, only objective criteria may be taken into regard. This essay seeks to explain the background, inten-tion and

With the increase in electricity generation from renewable sources over recent years, the demand for ancillary services providing balancing support in the grid has risen. Demand side regulation can be performed by regulating consumption of some household devices, which can act as a virtual battery that can be loaded and unloaded into the grid. Among these devices are thermostatically controllable

Bilförmåner har kommit att bli ett allt vanligare upplägg i både svenska och danska anställningsförhållanden. Med bilförmån menas att arbetsgivaren tillhandahåller en tjänstebil till arbetstagaren som denne kan bruka privat, ofta istället för kontant lön. Samtidigt bygger båda ländernas rättssystem på neutralitetsprincipen, där varje inkomst i inkomstslaget tjänst ska beskattas lika oavsett om detABSTRACT Over the past few years company cars have become a more and more useful and prominent component within the Swedish employment conditions. A similar development can be seen in Denmark. Furthermore, both the Swedish and the Danish regulation in regards to employment benefits is based on the principle of neutrality, whereby every income related to a person's employment is to be taxed acc

A wave atlas describing the monthly wave climate at 5 locations along the Swedish SE coast was desired. Using the WAM wave model to hindcast the waves between Jan 1st 2004 and Dec 31st 2009 the parameters significant wave height, direction of wave propagation and spectral wave peak period were extracted from the time series and assembled in a wave atlas. The model was forced with point source wind

The bike helmet is certainly a topic of current interest. From January the 1st 2005 it is mandated by law that children under 15 years old must use bike helmet when biking or being given a lift on a bike. There is an ongoing debate about the next step, to develop the law on bike helmet to apply for adult bicyclists as well. If a law like this would be established, the request on bike helmets would

BACKGROUND AND AIM: Hepatorenal syndrome (HRS) occurs in about 20 % of patients with liver cirrhosis and ascites and is characterized by intensive renal vasoconstriction, low glomerular filtration rate but preserved tubular function and normal renal histology. The potential of terlipressin and albumin to reverse HRS after a time period of 14 days has already been shown. However, intravenous albumi

This thesis examines the ongoing violent situation with the criminal networks in Sweden, what the obligations under article 19 of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child entail and to what extent the measures taken by the Swedish government live up to these obligations. Many children today are in various ways being affected by the gang-related violence, especially those who live in the vulner
