On one hand Self-help is seen as social instrument providing disabled people assistance and emphasizing the citizen's motivation and commitment in compensating for their needs. But historically, on the other hand, Self-help in terms of care in a social repayment- and control system is interpreted from an intellectual clash between philanthropic and liberal thinking about the right to care, res
The development and consumption of functional food are increasing. To meet such an increasing demand, vegetable milk extracted from quinoa and fermented with lactic acid bacteria can offer an excellent alternative to fermented dairy milk which has a high nutritive value and is free from lactose, gluten and cholesterol. This research aims at: (a) isolating and identifying the autochthonous microbio
This thesis targeted a new group in the transitioning Chinese society---the New Elder Group (NEG) --- at the private level, focusing on their everyday life. NEG refers to retired people who are relatively young (55-80), financially independent, and in good health. Their primary desires in everyday life is to “live a good every day”. This thesis demonstrates the need to pay more attention to the di
As a result of 20th-century car-centric planning, many urban districts had emerged designed to serve only one function. Different residential suburbs and trade areas were dispersed scattered within and outside the cities. This has led to more dependence on private cars to meet people’s daily needs. Urban Ergonomics will discuss one type of these areas, the external shopping centers, or the big-bo
The science of climate change stipulates that fossil fuels must be kept in the ground in order for earth's global temperature to stay below the 1.5 degrees' Celsius increase pre-ordained as safe for continued human civilization, and to avoid catastrophic natural, social, and economic disasters. Although this is a scientifically proven and agreed upon, governments around the world continue
BackgroundChildren with chronic diseases are reported to have increased risk of psychiatric comorbidity. Few studies have investigated this risk in juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), with conflicting results. We performed a population-based, longitudinal cohort study of the risk of depression and anxiety in south-Swedish patients with juvenile arthritis.MethodsThe south-Swedish JIA cohort (n = 6
We introduce the concept of a k-dimensional matrix product D of k matrices (Formula presented.) of sizes (Formula presented.) respectively, where (Formula presented.) is equal to (Formula presented.). We provide upper bounds on the time complexity of computing the product and solving related problems of computing witnesses and maximum witnesses of the Boolean version of the product in terms of the
The electroencephalography (EEG) signal has a high complexity, and the process of extracting clinically relevant features is achieved by visual analysis of the recordings. The interobserver agreement in EEG interpretation is only moderate. This is partly due to the method of reporting the findings in free-text format. The purpose of our endeavor was to create a computer-based system for EEG assess
Processes of rapid radiation among unicellular eukaryotes are much less studied than among multicellular organisms. We have investigated a lineage of cold-water microeukaryotes (protists) that appear to have diverged recently. This lineage stands in stark contrast to known examples of phylogenetically closely related protists, in which genetic difference is typically larger than morphological diff
Introduction Ihe association of physical inactivity with mortality, cardiovascular disease and cancer is extensively studied in adults. Clustering of cardiovascular risk factors and objectively measured physical activity in children and youth has not been convincingly established. The sustainability of objectively measured physical activity into adulihood is not satisfactorily studied. Acceleromet
This thesis aim to increase the understanding of educational divide in the urban environment. The study takes place in Malmö, in many ways a divided city and so even within the school system. Several political decisions were implemented in the early 90s in Sweden to make the educational system more equal and adjusted to individual needs of students. A free-choice of school, private- school-establi
2005 släppte Förenta Nationernas folkrättskommission rapporten "Fragmentation of International Law: Difficulties arising from the diversification and expansion of International Law". Även om fragmenteringen av folkrätten hade varit ett diskussionsämne långt före 2005 fick rapporten verkligen debatten ta fart och fragmentering att bli en av de mest omdebatterade frågorna under senare år bIn 2005 the United Nations International Law Commission released the report Fragmentation of International Law: Difficulties arising from the diversification and expansion of International Law. Although fragmentation of international law had been a topic of discussion long before 2005 the report really made the debate take off, becoming one of the most debated issues in recent years among internat
At this point, railway switching systems exchange takes about 15 hours to perform. It means that long time is needed if performing multiple exchanges. It even means that traffic on tracks has to be disallowed for a long amount of time. It costs maintenance companies like Infranord a lot of money to keep tracks free from other vehicles during the work. The company needs to purchase special permissi
The purpose of our report was to analyze the effects of youth drug abuse on the families concerned. Youth drug abuse made us wonder about the effects on the family as a whole, of those involved with drug abuse. To answer this question, we decided to employ an empiric study in the form of interviews with four teenagers, five parents and four drug counselors. Because our intent was to understand rat
This paper examines the freedom of expression in a newly established in Eastern Europe democracy, namely in Azerbaijan. Before reviewing the domestic law of Azerbaijan on freedom of expression, the study touches upon a few important thoughts and statements about the interdependence of freedom of expression and democracy. Afterwards it elaborates international binding as well as non-binding standar
Exploratory testing (ET) is a test technique used to test software. It is a free way (compared to scripted test) of testing, where the tester takes notes during the test session. The tester has the option to select his own way when testing the software, he learns and tests at the same time. Notes are the result from the test session and are used to see what has been tested, e.g. the outcome and th
I dagens samhälle har våld mellan idrottsutövare blivit en alltmer naturlig del av idrotten. Dessa våldshandlingar mellan idrottsutövare vid idrottsutövning brukar kallas för kvalificerat idrottsvåld och uppfyller i många fall rekvisiten för misshandelsbrott enligt den allmänna rättsordningen. Det är däremot sällan fallen av kvalificerat idrottsvåld tas upp till prövning i allmän domstol och i de In today’s society, violence between athletes has become a natural part of the sports activity. These acts of violence between the athletes and during the participation, are usually called qualified sports violence. In many cases, these acts also fulfill the necessary condition of assault under the legal system. However, these kind of cases are rarely being tried in general court, but in those cas
Långvariga kommersiella avtalsförhållanden präglas av en förhöjd risk för att ändrade förhållanden ska rubba avtalsbalansen. Huvudregeln, enligt svensk rätt, är att avtal ska hållas även om avtalsprestationerna blivit mer betungande för en avtalspart till följd av ändrade förhållanden. Avtalet är själva instrumentet för att göra affärer och av rättsekonomiska skäl eftersträvar man således en strikLong-term commercial contractual relationships are characterized by an increased risk that changed circumstances will upset the contractual equilibrium. The main rule, according to Swedish law, is that agreements must be kept even if the contractual obligations have become more onerous for a contracting party as a result of changed circumstances. The contract in itself is the legal instrument for
Background The queues within Swedish healthcare are presently unacceptably long. The demands and costs of healthcare have increased and are expected to rise in the future. This has resulted in a higher stress on all of the healthcares resources, from the financial aspect to the human. As with many other public establishments, Lund University Hospital has suffered from weak finances, which in the l
Seveberggrunden i nordöstra Kebnekaise domineras av amfiboliter och ögongnejser. Detta examensarbete beskriver tektonostratigrafin i två nyckelområden (Nallo och norra Mårma). Seven i nordöstra Kebnekaise korreleras med den övre Seven söderut i Kebnekaise samt norrut mot Abisko och Indre Troms. I specialstudier identifieras moderbergarterna för en nyupptäckt gnejs samt för två typer av ögongnejserThe Seve Nappe Complex in the Kebnekaise Mts. is dominated by metabasites (Kebne Dyke Complex) and mylonitic gneisses. This study describes the tectonostratigraphy in two key areas (Nallo and Mårma) and investigates the origin of a granitic gneiss and two varieties of augen gneiss. The Kebne Dyke Complex consists of thin dark bands of amphibolite in a metagabbro, interpreted to represent dolerite
