Children who are placed in foster care because of neglect or abuse have the right to maintain the relationship with their parents, as per the Swedish LVU law, though this is more often than not a complex feat to achieve. The Convention on the Rights of the Child states that children who are capable of forming their views shall be given the right to express those views freely in all matters affecti
The aim of this qualitative study is to investigate how social workers, working with social welfare, understand the practice and the reasoning for decisions regarding social welfare. I conducted six semi-structured interviews with social workers working with social welfare. For my analysis, I have applied the theoretical perspective of accounts to my interviews. My findings show me that morals a
In march 2020 the Swedish government decided that education in gymnasiums was to be conducted as distance learning as a means to prevent the spread of the Coronavirus. The aim of this study was to explore how Covid-19 has affected schools and school counselors and in which way the school counselors role and work towards the students have changed during the Coronapandemic. The study was conducted t
Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Malmö ur ett mandelblomsperspektiv. Tänk dig att du är en mandelblom på en äng någonstans i trakterna kring Malmö. I början av Maj år 1802 kryper du upp ur jorden och känner solens strålar mot dina blad. Du sätter blommor, du får frön som av en vindpust förs iväg och landar i en hage inte så långt bort. Nu låtsas vi att ditt frö inte gror, utan det ligger kvar iBiodiversity preservation has a high priority in nature conservation on a global, regional and local scale. The rate at which species are extinct today is very high and this is to a large extent a consequence of human influence on the earth’s ecosystems. The decreasing biodiversity in Sweden is mainly an effect of the landscape becoming more fragmented. GIS is generally considered as an effective
The purpose of this study is to analyse what journalism educations in Sweden teaches to their students and how they keep the education updated in relation to the current media landscape. The thesis focuses on the use of social media in journalism. As social media is becoming more popular, it is starting to become an attractive platform for companies in the news field. The analysis is based on five
Civil society is regarded to be a cornerstone in democratic societies and therefore an essential field of social science (Wijkström & Lundström 2002, Harding 2012). However the leadership of civil society organizations (CSOs) has been bypassed (Wijkström & Malmborg 2005). In this study I have interviewed three leaders from the Swedish Red Cross and three others from Swedish Save the Childr
Freshwater of good quality is important, even necessary, for human society as well as natural ecosystems to function. However, the uneven distribution of freshwater globally together with other problems such as over-population and pollution all contribute to water stress and water scarcity in many countries. These issues are getting worse and worse. A growing number of companies and organizations
I familjerätten finns två former av vårdnad, ensam vårdnad och gemensam vårdnad. Den sistnämnda vårdnadsformen utgör utgångspunkten vid bedömningen av vilken vårdnadsform som är lämpligast. En utgångspunkt som har varit så stark att den har gett upphov till en presumtion för gemensam vårdnad. Uppsatsen undersöker den gemensamma vårdnadens rättsutveckling med utgångspunkt i vårdnadsreformerna 199Within the area of family law there exists two forms of legal child custody, sole custody and joint custody. The last form is the starting point in court when deciding upon which form of custody constitutes the most suitable one. The strength of the previously mentioned starting point are of such degree that a presumption for joint custody took shape. The essay examines how the development of chi
The necessity of a canon had been restated, but literature, meanwhile, had lost a good share of its public. The self-referential syndrome evolved into an epidemic: there was a problem of reader-response approach at that moment. The public shrank and the cultural world became endogamous. This meant that a large part of the public was actually made of writers who craved for climbing the literary lad
Den yttersta barriären mellan luften och blodomloppet i våra lungor består av en lipid-protein film. Denna lipid-protein blandning kallas för lungsurfaktant. Filmen bestående av lungsurfaktant stabiliserar alveolerna i våra lungor och gör att vi kan andas utan motstånd. Brist av lungsurfaktant kan orsaka svåra sjukdomar, till exempel hos förtidigt födda barn som ännu inte hunnit bilda tillräckligtThis thesis explores lipid self-assembly and aims to give a broad picture of self-assembly structures in simple and complex lipid-protein systems. The systems studied are lung surfactant, stratum corneum and simple model membranes. The lung surfactant mixture lines the alveolus in our lungs and stabilises the air- tissue interface. The lung surfactant lipid phase behaviour was here investigated wi
The cleavage fracture probability of ferritic and ferritic/martensitic steels is generally computed using Beremin's model. In this work, a novel approach is developed for Beremin's model to be applicable to crack tip conditions under nonself similar stress field. The modification of Beremin's model corrects the inaccurate integration of local cleavage fracture probabilities of reference volume ele
We present a new methodology involving the simultaneous refinement of both x-ray absorption and x-ray diffraction spectra (x-ray absorption/diffraction structural refinement, XADSR) to study the hydration and ion pair structure of CaCl2 and RbBr salts in concentrated aqueous solutions. The XADSR method combines the x-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) spectral analysis of both the cation and ani
The CKD-EPI creatinine-based estimation equation for glomerular filtration rate (GFR) cannot be used in children, overestimates GFR in young adults, and its combination with the KDIGO recommended pediatric CKiD (Schwartz bedside) equation causes implausible increases in estimated GFR when switching from pediatric to adult care. By establishing sex-specific creatinine growth curves for children and
Background. Heart transplantation (HT) remains the ultimate final therapy for patients with end-stage heart failure. To prevent rejection of the allograft, life-long immunosuppressive therapy is required. As survival after HT has improved over the past decades, long-term complications, such as chronic kidney disease (CKD) and osteoporosis, are of increasing importance for morbidity and mortality.
There is relatively little research on women’s involvement with drugs in the Nordic area. While women’s experiences have enjoyed greater attention in the literature than previously (Chesney-Lind and Chagnon, 2016), many analyses appear to consider gender as a single variable in addition to class. Further, gender has become synonymous with women, ‘as if the other, the general’ were not also similar
Objective: To evaluate asynchronous digital visits (eVisits) with regard to digital communication, clinical decisionmaking,and subsequent care utilization in the digital era of primary care in Sweden.Methods: A mixed-methods approach was adopted across the various papers in the thesis, with all studiesevaluating the eVisit platform Flow in various clinical contexts.- Paper I was a comparative stud
Objective: Oxygen enhanced pulmonary MRI is a promising modality for functional lung studies and has been applied to a wide range of pulmonary conditions. The purpose of this study was to characterize the oxygen enhancement effect in the lungs of healthy, never-smokers, in light of a previously established relationship between oxygen enhancement and diffusing capacity of carbon monoxide in the lun
We report the transverse energy (ET) measured with ALICE at midrapidity in Pb-Pb collisions at sNN=2.76 TeV as a function of centrality. The transverse energy was measured using identified single-particle tracks. The measurement was cross checked using the electromagnetic calorimeters and the transverse momentum distributions of identified particles previously reported by ALICE. The results are co
School districts in the United States and around the world are increasingly moving away from traditional neighborhood school assignment, in which pupils attend closest schools to their homes. Instead, they allow families to choose from schools within district boundaries. This creates a market with parental demand over publicly-supplied school seats. More frequently than ever, this market for schoo
