Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Kullstorlek och förmågan att hålla värme Direkt efter kläckning har de flesta fågelungar svårt att hålla en jämn kroppstemperatur (termoreglera) i en kallare omgivning. Förmågan att termoreglera uppkommer eller utvecklas någon gång under ungarnas första tid i livet och snart är de mer eller mindre jämnvarma. Förmågan att hålla en jämn kroppstemperatur tidigt iAbstract Most birds are not capable of maintaining core body temperature when exposed to cold ambient temperatures directly after hatching. As postnatal development continues the thermoregulatory capacity begins to form, and eventually nestlings become homeothermic. Many factors, such as predation, latitude and foraging mode, may influence this development of homeothermy, but to my knowledge no s

Socioeconomic status (SES) and its effect on health outcomes for an individual is generally well researched, but the different mechanisms of different socioeconomic factors are yet still not fully understood. Using cross-sectional survey data for 50+ people in Estonia this thesis aims to analyse the multidimensional nature of different SES variables to see if the SES variables have an independent

Today, it seems as if every second designed object is referred to as timeless design. We use the word timeless as a selling word without really thinking about what it means. Through investigating the concept of timeless design, I found the physical paper book being probably one of our most timeless objects.

Trash can harm both the environment and humans. It can maintain for a long time in the environment before degrading and during that time it can pollute soils and poison animals. This study focuses on the Pellekan campaign which started to reduce littering in the city of Mölndal. The campaign has been working the same way from the start in 2002 and now is time to evaluate how well it worked. For th

The purpose of this essay was to study an activation programme called Work & Integration Centre (Arbets- & Integrationscenter, AIC). Activation programmes are often based on both the help to and the control of the users – which are unemployed recipients of social assistance. By interviewing five employees at the programme I wanted to find out how they balanced between the help that they gi

Background and purpose With an ageing population and an increasing incidence of diabetes, reduction of the number of diabetes-related amputations becomes increasingly difficult to achieve and maintain. There is controversy in this respect regarding the degree of success. We started a multidisciplinary treatment program for diabetic foot ulcers in 1982, and have now assessed incidence rates of ampu

Background. Multidisciplinary team (MDT) conferences have been introduced into standard cancer care, though evidence that it benefits the patient is weak. We used the national Swedish Rectal Cancer Register to evaluate predictors for case discussion at a MDT conference and its impact on treatment. Material and methods.

In this thesis I have presented possible indicators affecting boys’ educational attainments and learning behaviors. In my study I used both quantitative and qualitative methods. First, I studied the relationship between knowledge of relational concepts and later academic achievements. The data consisted of two different types of tests (Boehm Test of Basic Concepts and National Standard Tests). The

En medborgare är gentemot det allmänna skyddad mot frihetsberövande enligt svensk grundlag. Det finns dock undantag från denna grundlagsskyddade rättighet om begränsningen sker genom lag och tillgodoser ändamål som är godtagbara i ett demokratiskt samhälle. Det får aldrig gå utöver vad som är nödvändigt med hänsyn till det ändamål som har föranlett begränsningen. Något som är reglerat i lag och A citizen is against the public protected from detention by the Swedish Constitution. There are exceptions to this fundamental right if the restriction is done by law and meets the purposes that are acceptable in a democratic society. It must never go beyond what is necessary with regard to the purpose which caused the restriction. Something that is regulated by law and is considered acceptable

This presentation aims to discuss aspects of the fitting room situation from two theoretical perspectives; communities of practice and the ambiguity of touch (touching, being touched). The theoretical frame is intertwined with reflections form my own practice as designer/maker/educator/researcher and from discussions/interviews with colleagues and students from different disciplines at The Danish

This article analyzes the use of metaphysics to speak of God within theology. More specifically, the charge of ontotheology levelled against Thomas Aquinas, in particular by Jean-Luc Marion and John Caputo, are being analyzed and criticized, not only with the help of thinkers like John Knasas and W. Norris Clarke, but also Marion himself. Because this article also examines the change of heart that

It is not acceptable that a judge because of ‘fear’ hands down a wrongful judgment. This was mentioned already by Isidore of Seville in his Sententiae and is part of the oaths of judges in many jurisdictions, from the 1230s onwards until this day. The ‘fear’ that is relevant could relate to one of the parties but also other persons in power. Thus, it relates not only to impartiality but – above alIt is not acceptable that a judge because of ‘fear’ hands down a wrongful judgment.
