Structured surveys were used to collect data from 15 Bangladeshi immigrants, which included demographic information as well as indices of food security and dietary diversity. Food security was assessed using the Household Food Insecurit

Begreppet visselblåsare benämner en person som avslöjar missförhållanden i myndigheter, företag eller samhället i övrigt. I arbetslivet är visselblåsning särskilt viktigt eftersom visselblåsaren ofta avslöjar viktig information som allmänheten inte har tillgång till. Trots det har studier visat att arbetstagare som får kännedom om missförhållanden ofta avstår från att slå larm. Regeringen antog EUThe term "whistleblower" refers to an individual who discloses wrongdoing in authorities, companies, or society in general. Whistleblowing holds significant importance in the workplace as it frequently unveils vital information inaccessible to the general public. However, studies have shown that employees who become aware of misconduct frequently choose not to report it. The EU-directive

Uppsatsen syftar till att utreda hur rättstillämpningen på S:t Barthélemy fungerade i förhållande till rättstillämpningen i Sverige. Genom en rättshistorisk metod och ett komparativt perspektiv undersöks skillnaderna och likheterna mellan de två rättssystemen. Frågan besvaras genom att närmare undersöka följande tre områden: domstolens sammansättning, lagstiftningen och rättskipningen. DomstolensThe thesis aims to investigate how the adjudication in St. Barthélemy functioned in relation to the adjudication in Sweden. The differences and similarities between the two legal systems are examined through a legal historical method and a comparative perspective. The question is answered by examining the following three areas: the composition of the court, the legislation, and the administration

Most (93%) of the greenhouse gas emissions in the transport sector come from road traffic in Sweden which includes passenger and freight transport activity (Trafikverket, 2022). The aim of this thesis was to understand pathways that transport purchasers can pursue to reach the fossil-free transportation goals from manufacturing plant to customer and to develop a process for assessing a market and

Det får anses vedertaget att barn är en särskilt utsatt grupp världen över. Gifta barn, som dessutom är asylsökande, är alldeles särskilt sårbara. Insikten om detta bör genomsyra all lagstiftning som avser barn, där barnets bästa ska sättas i främsta rummet. Uppsatsens övergripande syfte har varit att undersöka ett i utlandet gift barns rätt att i Sverige återförenas med sina föräldrar. Syftet haIt may be considered accepted that children are a particularly vulnerable group worldwide. Married children, who are also asylum seekers, are particularly vulnerable. The realization of this should permeate all legislation concerning children, where the best interests of the child shall be a primary consideration. The overall purpose of the essay has been to investigate a child married abroad righ

Purpose: This paper is based on a study of six similar buildings built in Gothenburg, Sweden, in 1971, which were in urgent need of renovation. A life cycle profit analysis shows how four competing concepts were evaluated to find a financially viable renovation concept; additionally, the environmental impacts of these renovation concepts using a life cycle assessment are presented. Design/methodol

BackgroundClinical Health Promotion activities contribute to the reduction of disease and treatment, and improve outcomes and prognosis. Accordingly, major health determinants such as smoking, physical inactivity, risk of malnutrition, overweight and hazardous drinking should be easily identified in the medical records. To that end, this study evaluates a simple 9 question health documentation mod

The aim of this study was to determine the photon energy dependence of absorbed dose measurements, in a comparison of optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) in NaCl with thermoluminescence (TL) in LiF:Mg,Cu,P. The comparisons were made at exposure to ionizing radiation in the photon energy range 20 keV to 1.3 MeV. Specially designed dosemeter kits containing both NaCl and LiF were used under i) l

Bakgrund: Forskning har visat att stor andel av arbetsterapeuterna i Sverige överväger att lämna yrket. Milleniumgenerationen utgör nu den största andelen av arbetsterapeuterna på arbetsmarknaden. Ytterligare forskning visar att milleniumgenerationen ställer andra krav på arbetsplatsen än tidigare generationer. För att säkra patientsäkerhet är det viktigt att undersöka vad arbetsterapeuter ur millBackground: A large proportion of occupational therapists in Sweden are considering leaving the profession. The millennial generation will soon be the largest proportion of occupational therapists on the labor market. Further research shows that the millennial generation places different demands on the workplace than previous generations. To ensure patient safety, it is important to examine what o

Mental illness has increasingly become a problem throughout the world and is believed to cost the global economy $16 trillion by 2030. Consequently, a growing body of literature investigates the possible causes of mental illness and more specifically, possible early life circumstances which may affect adult mental health. Limited research exists though in terms of exposure to recessions in utero a

The international law of the sea has its roots in Roman law embedded in the ancient doctrines of res communis and res nullius. The law came from custom and practice and was transformed into customary law periodically confirmed and consolidated by fundamental doctrines such as mare liberum or freedom of the seas enunciated by Hugo Grotius in the 1500s and eventually by the doctrine of common herita

Vatten av god kvalitet är en förutsättning för livet på jorden. I Bjuvs kommun utnyttjas grundvatten för produktion av dricksvatten åt kommuninvånarna. Kvaliteten har på senare år blivit allt sämre med höga halter av både järn och mangan. Området inom vilket grundvattenutvinningen skett är dominerat av bergarter innehållande kol, sand och lersediment. I området finns sedan gammalt en omfattande grWater of good quality is a necessity to all living creatures on Earth. In the municipality of Bjuv, located in the coalmine district in northwest Scania, problems with high contents of iron and manganese in locally extracted water has caused water-production difficulties. These problems lead to the establishment of fifteen new groundwater wells outside the minefields. To legalize this new supply o

Prior articles and reports have named Credit Default Swap (CDS) spreads as a plausible indicator of default risk. In this report, the authors present a significant correlation between CDS spreads and two other more acknowledged methods of measuring default risk probabilities; the modified Merton model and credit ratings from the rating institute Moody’s. The tests are implemented by Spearman’s ran

Protein biosynthesis follows a hierarchical process, as genes are transcribed into mRNA, translated into a chain of amino acids, and ultimately folded into functional proteins. This implies that the protein structure is merely determined by the amino acid sequence. Yet, studies on translation efficiency indicate that codon usage, which is organism dependent, significantly impacts protein folding k

Polybromerade difenyletrar (PBDE) och hexabromcyklododekan (HBCDD) är bromerade flamskyddsmedel som har använts i stor utstäckning i olika produkter under lång tid. Dessa föreningar är svårnedbrytbara och fettlösliga vilket innebär att de kan lagras länge i fettvävnaden. Både kemin och egenskaperna hos PBDE og HBCDD liknar det kända miljögiftet PCB, vilket gör at det är intressant att se närmare pPolybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE) and hexabromocyclododecane (HBCDD) are brominated flame retardants. These compounds are lipophilic, persistent and have been shown to bioaccumulate. The Baltic grey seal (Halichoerus grypus) and the Eurasian otter (Lutra lutra) are top predators and especially exposed to high levels of lipophilic pollutant in their diet due to biomagnification. In the current

Efforts to reduce energy consumption in buildings have increased with the pending impact of climate change. Heat losses through airing behaviours remain a largely unknown factor due to the variety of reasons for opening a window, making generalization difficult. Currently, an estimation of 4 kWh/m2 heated area for airing heat loss is assumed in Sweden. Additionally, the resulting airflow from open

Uppsatsen analyserar hur orsakssamband, bevisbörda och beviskrav bör utformas vid svensk implementering av artiklarna 10, 11 och 29 i direktivet om tillbörlig aktsamhet för företag i fråga om hållbarhet (CSDDD). Fokus ligger på miljöskador som uppstår när ett företag eller dess affärspartner underlåter att förebygga eller avsluta miljöskadlig verksamhet i verksamhetskedjan. Genom rättsdogmatisk ocThis thesis examines how causation, burden of proof, and evidentiary standards should be designed in the Swedish implementation of Articles 10, 11 and 29 in the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD). The analysis focuses on environmental harm arising from a company ́s, or its business partners ́ failure to prevent or mitigate environmentally harmful activates within the chain of

Denna kandidatuppsats handlar om den förtäckta värdeöverföringen, ett ämne som genererat en omfattande diskussion inom rättsvetenskapen. Begreppet förtäckt värdeöverföring återfinns inte i ABL. Lagtexten definierar emellertid en förtäckt värdeöverföring i 17 kap. 1 § 1 st. 4 p. ABL som ”någon annan affärshändelse som medför att bolagets förmögenhet minskar och inte har rent affärsmässig karaktär fThis bachelor thesis deals with the disguised value transfer, a topic that has generated extensive discussion within legal science. The term disguised value transfer is not found in the Swedish Companies Act. However, the legislation defines a disguised value transfer in Chapter 17, Section 1, Subsection 1, p. 4 of the Companies Act as “another business event as a consequence of which the company’

The purpose of this essay was to examine how employees with different professions refute abused women and if they have different methods in their work procedures. We also want to see if there are any differences or similarities in work procedures and refutation among our chosen professions. The focus of interest is if an insufficient refutation and work procedure involves consequences for the abus

The recent development and implementation of Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) method is generating application of complicated models over a wide range of sciences. For two correlated binary responses, bivariate binary logistic regression is a suitable way to identify the related covariates and at the same time, their interactions validity can be investigated in terms of logarithm of odds ratio.
