Syftet med denna tvärsnittsstudie var att undersöka barns förståelse för empatiska reaktioners relationella innebörd och om denna skiljer sig beroende på ålder, samt undersöka om samband fanns mellan denna förmåga och förmåga till socialt perspektivtagande. Undersökningen jämförde barn i grundskolans årskurs 2 (n = 15, M = 8:7 år), årskurs 5 (n = 17, M = 11:8 år) och årskurs 8 (n = 13, M = 14:10 åThis cross-sectional study explored children’s understanding of empathic reactions relational meaning and if this understanding increases with age. It also explored an association between this ability and ability for social perspective taking. Comparisons were made between second graders (n = 15, M = 8:7 years), fifth graders (n = 17, M = 11:8 years) and eighth graders (n = 13, M = 14:10 years). T

I en komparativ studie undersöktes regleringen av flera former av eutanasi (dödshjälp) och assisterat självmord i Sverige, Nederländerna, Schweiz och Italien. Även Europadomstolens praxis, samt attityder till och förekomst av eutanasi behandlades och resultaten sammanställdes. Bland de jämförda länderna är aktiv eutanasi, dvs. att aktivt förkorta en annans liv, tillåtet endast för nederländska lThe regulation of several types of euthanasia and assisted suicide in Sweden, the Netherlands, Switzerland and Italy was examined, as well as case law from the European Court of Human rights, and attitudes towards and occurrence of euthanasia. The results were then analysed. Active euthanasia, i.e. to actively shorten the life of another person, is legal only for Dutch physicians. The physician

The digital cellular systems era started about thirty years ago with the release of the first digital cellphones. These first digital cellphones were very different from today’s slim and esthetic cellular pocket computers. They were not mass-produced in million units a day, and they were designed for radio performance rather than appearance. Today, all components are integrated inside the mobile p

SI-PASS is an academic assistance program that provides help for students in “difficult” courses, often introductory courses for first-year students. The idea behind SI is that learning a subject is enhanced by an exchange of thoughts and ideas between students. The goal is to make the students become active and independent learners that sees peers as a learning resource. SI-PASS is connected to a

Starting from next year the technical feasibility of a direct seeding scheme at 30 and 13 nm will be studied at the Free-electron LASer in Hamburg (FLASH). During a major shutdown the SASE-FEL facility will be upgraded and it is planned to install in addition a high-harmonic generation (HHG) seed laser, a new chain of 10 m variable gap un-dulators and a dedicated commissioning beamline for photon

Hjärtsvikt betecknar ett syndrom som innebär att hjärtat har otillräcklig förmåga att försörja kroppen med blod. Detta kan antingen bero på att hjärtat inte kan fyllas med eller stöta ut tillräckligt med mängd blod. Patienter med hjärtsvikt har i allmänhet hög dödlighet, detta trots att stora framsteg har gjorts avseende behandlingen av hjärtsvikt, speciellt sedan 1980-talet. Femårsöverlevnaden föIntroduction: Despite major advances, the incidence rate and mortality of heart failure (HF) remains high, with a five-year survival of approximately 50%. At the time of inception of this thesis the familial risks of HF, including the aspects of mortality, were largely underdetermined. This thesis is composed of four papers with the main aims as follows:To determine the risk of hospitalization of

Sveriges könstillhörighetslag ska enligt dess förarbeten bestå av två skilda delar av en process om könserkännande, men gör i praktiken inte det. Det görs en gemensam ansökan för att få tillstånd till både ändring av könsregistrering i folkbokföringen (ofta kallat det juridiska könet) och viss medicinsk könsbekräftande vård. För att motivera en medicinsk utredning innan båda dessa åtgärder användsAccording to its preparatory work, Sweden's law on gender recognition shall consist of two separate parts in the process of gender recognition, but in practice does not. A joint application is made for permission to change the gender registration in the population register (often called the legal gender) and to certain medical gender-confirming care. The same argument is used to justify a medi

Världen över ställs stater inför ett växande cyberhot och antalet mellanstatliga cyberoperationer har ökat markant. Idag är inte enbart datorer och mobiltelefoner beroende av en uppkoppling utan även transaktioner, pacemakers, bilar, flygplan och otaliga tillbehör i vår vardag. Därutöver styrs en stor del av samhällets infrastruktur såsom sjukhus, banker och energisektorn av särskilda informationsAround the world states are facing a growing cyber threat and the number of intergovernmental cyberoperations is significantly increased. Today, not only computers and mobile phones are dependent on a connection, even transactions, pacemakers, cars, airplanes and innumerable accessories in our daily lives depend upon it. Furthermore, a considerable part of society’s infrastructure, like hospitals,

System in Package (SiP) is often used in wireless technologies where different active and passive components can be integrated under the same substrate, resulting in smaller devices and lower costs. The design of the embedded antennas in system in package is a challenge from various points of view. Since system in packages are often used when a small module is needed, and as the size of the module

Värdering av tillgångar har betydelse i flera avseenden. Denna uppsats har till syfte att utreda hur värderingen går till vid tvångsmässiga situationer och även att identifiera vilka kriterier som påverkar värderingsprocessen i olika tvångsmässiga värderingssituationer. Jag har valt att granska fem olika tvångsmässiga situationer, nämligen konkurs, företagsrekonstruktion, utmätning, expropriation Valuation of assets is important in several aspects. This essay has aimed to investigate how the valuation is done in compulsory situations and to identify the criteria’s that affect the valuation process in compulsory situations. I have chosen to examine five different compulsory situations, namely bankruptcy, corporate reorganization, foreclosure, expropriation and the preparation of a control b

The detections of over 4000 exoplanets as of today has shown that they exist in a wide range of different configurations, otherwise known as architectures. Recently, studies have been made trying to link the environment of host stars to the architectures of their planetary systems and have found that the architectures of planetary systems may not necessarily be uniform in the Milky Way. Since effe

Wheat bran is a by-product from the production of wheat flour. Nowadays wheat bran is mostly used as feed for animals, in the food and baking industry or it is simply burned in open air. However, wheat bran could be used in biorefineries for production of value-added products such as bioplastics, biofuels and chemicals as a substitute for fossil feedstocks as petroleum. Since wheat bran is an agri

Debates of whether Z=114 and N=184 are the next magic numbers in nuclear physics have existed since the earliest predictions made in the 1960s. Until these days they have not been firmly established. To get a better understanding of the magic numbers, it is of key importance to study the nuclei in the vicinity of established and anticipated shell closures. Above shell closures, fast alpha-decaying

Background and purpose: During radiotherapy, rectal cancer patients show inter-fractional internal motion that effects the delivered dose distribution. The purpose of this work is to study I) the inter-fractional bladder volume change, II) the effect of bladder volume change on bowel dose distribution, III) the effect of bladder optimization on the relationship between bladder volume and bowel dos

In the spring of 2015, five young feminist activists were arrested by the Chinese police for allegedly ‘causing trouble’, which resulted in global attention aimed at this new wave of feminist movement. Youth feminist activism have made their voice heard in China through numerous actions for gender equality since 2012. Not much is known about the new feminist movements and the limited work that exi

Slow light and Whispering Gallery Mode Resonators are two interesting and useful fields with applications in optical sensing and laser stabilisation among others. Slow light can lead to long interaction times which are useful in light-matter interactions such as sensitive non-linear optics. Whispering Gallery Mode Resonators have small mode volumes and strong beam confinement leading to high Quali

Tendons connect muscles to bones enabling efficient locomotion. This study focuses on the Achilles tendon, which is the strongest tendon in the body and fundamental for activities like walking, running and jumping. The Achilles tendon is the most frequently subjected tendon when it comes to injuries and ruptures. The best treatment is still debated, because the biomechanics of the tendons is not y

Zabrze is a medium size town of 200 000 inhabitants in the region of Upper Silesia, Poland. The development of the town was originally based on the exploitation of heavy industries. In the past few years Zabrze has, however, moved towards more service and tourism oriented industries. As part of this journey, the city of Zabrze sees the need to improve its existing waste management system. This rep
