Drama at work - How social workers cope with compulsory care cases due to neglect The purpose of this study was to examine how social workers cope with compulsory care cases due to neglect. This essay aims to highlight the difficult, and often emotionally hard, process of making a legitimate decision. I´ve chose power as my main perspective in order to examine my purpose. My methodology was quali
About 20 percent of Sweden's municipal street network is now in urgent need of maintenance. This is assumed to correspond to a cost of about 12 billion Swedish crowns. That the streets are maintained in an effective manner is of great importance both for the users' safety and accessibility. Today, however, numerous municipalities suffer from a maintenance debt incurred because of the lack
This project’s objective was to gather knowledge of ways to mechanically increase speech intelligibility and decrease wind noise through the design of microphone ports. The project focused on ports that would be applied in outdoor intercom products. The project used experimental testing through the development method Robust Design to investigate different parameters that could be changed in a
This essay examines the typographic discussions in Sweden around the turn of the 20th century. The focus lies on Gothenburg-based printer Waldemar Zachrisson, a driving force in these matters. The starting-point of the study is the industrialization of the printing in the 19th century, when printing changed from being a craft to being a largely mechanical process. Several voices from the turn of t
Abstract The aim of the project is to determine the mechanical properties and the microstructure with a to b transformation of the titanium alloy Ti-6Al-4V. The experiments made were tensile tests at temperatures 20, 400 and 800C and SEM images before and after inductive methods. Ti-6Al-4V is one of the most used types of alloy mainly because it has good qualities in strength, corrosion resistance
Today the Swedish education system faces major challenges. This study deals with school segregation, and the broad topic is narrowed down through a qualitative study that intends to capture several dimensions of how the municipality in Malmö works to improve the conditions for a good and equal education. It also tries to highlight the ideological discussion of why this work is important for the ci
Studien syftar till att undersöka hur de olika trafikslagen prioriteras i gatuutrymmet i form av en kritisk granskning av Spårvägsprojektet i Lund. Arbetet ämnar utreda bland annat utrymmesbehovet för motorfordon, cyklister och fotgängare. Vidare undersöks disponeringen av gatuutrymmet för de olika trafikslagen i spårvägsprojektet i Lund och om det är i linje med kommunens uttalade mål och strategThe thesis aims to investigate the space requirements for motor vehicles, bicycles and pedestrians. Furthermore, it examines how the street space has been used for the various types of traffic in the tramway project in Lund and whether it is according to the municipality's stated goals and strategies. The study also investigates whether the final result corresponds to the initial plan of the p
Behandling av avloppsvatten för att avlägsna ämnen som kan ha en negativ påverkan på den mänskliga hälsan och naturen är mycket viktigt innan vattnet återanvänds eller släpps ut i naturen. Intresset för anaerob vattenrening har ökat eftersom det är ett bra komplement till aeroba processer, samt för att det producerar energi i form av metangas. Målet med detta projekt var att undersöka hur olika dTreatment of wastewater is crucial for removing any compounds which can have a negative impact on human health and nature before the water is reused or released into nature. Interest in anaerobic treatment of wastewater has increased as it is a good complement to aerobic treatment, and it produces energy in form of methane. The aim of this project was to investigate how different operational para
In the field of computational biology, fluorescence microscopy images often constitute the input source of information. The process of binarization of raw images to delineate interesting objects requires image segmentation into signal and background pixels. Several methods to perform image segmentation exist, the Otsu method being a popular unsupervised example. The Otsu method's lack of pro
This master thesis is the result of cooperation between Lund University and Tetra Pak, performed by a student at Engineering Nanoscience, LTH. The aim is to explain how different molecular weights and molecular weight distribution of isotactic homo-polypropylene affect resulting properties. Examined properties are mechanical properties by tensile testing and tensile impact, shear viscosity by capi
The study was carried out to identify critical factors for processed fruit shelf life in Tetra Recart packages. To investigate the importance of package volume and headspace volume, vitamin C was chosen to be the indicator. Oxygen in headspace, headspace volume, dissolved oxygen in product, oxygen transmission rate (OTR) and the concentration of vitamin C along storage time were measured to unders
The purpose of Galactic archaeology is determining the history of the Milky Way (MW) Galaxy. To do this one uses observational data from stellar populations in terms of properties such as kinematics, chemistry, ages, and evolution. In this context a population means stars with similar characteristics and the most notable population is “the Solar Neighbourhood” (SN). Stars orbit with a ‘guiding rad
Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a major social problem and complex subject with a lack of research. Youths are a particularly vulnerable group when it comes to IPV. A larger risk of exposure and experience of violence during the teenage years may contribute to a larger risk of violent relationships in the future. It is therefore important to notice, educate and prevent violence at an early stag
Introducing a new employee into an organization is a critical time for the individual and the organization in question. Successful introductions can create high job satisfaction, increased performance, organizational commitment, and social integration – also called organizational socialization. There are many benefits of a successful socialization process; therefore, understanding what new employe
Two recent papers (Foulsham, Barton, Kingstone, Dewhurst, & Underwood, 2009; Mannan, Kennard, & Husain, 2009) report that neuropsychological patients with a profound object recognition problem (visual agnosic subjects) show differences from healthy observers in the way their eye movements are controlled when looking at images. The interpretation of these papers is that eye movements can be
Popular science summary The effect of glucose and incretin proteins on insulin secretion and OPN production Insulin secretion is a sensitive cellular process with ramifications in diabetes mellitus development. Diabetes mellitus is characterized by hyperglycemia, a chronic condition defined by high levels of circulating glucose. Insulin hormone is the primary regulator of glucose absorption from
