In this project I have created a practical, decorative and educational system of HDPE tiles and connections as a material for walls and floors in climate-smart housings. In doing so, I want to send a message about changing the perception of plastic as a disposable material and minimize the amount of plastic that ends up in the wrong places. To make the message credible, I analysed politics, arts
Population ageing affects most European countries, placing increasing pressure on publicly funded Long Term Care (LTC) systems. Informal care is often seen as a low-cost alternative to formal care services, yet it may induce unwelcome reductions in labour supply. This study presents evidence on the relationship of informal care provision, employment probability, and work hours of mature caregivers
Motivation and Objective: This study investigates how analysts generate from data using business intelligence tools. The motivation for study at the premise that organizations are finding it very challenging to gener-ate insights from a vast amount of structured, semi-structured and unstructured data. The ini-tial problem background indicate that this may be because organizations are silo driven,
One response to mitigate climate change is the replacement of conventional products with more environmentally friendly ones. The increased popularity of organic food can be said to be an effect of this development. This popularity has in combination with the prosocial characteristic of organic food and its associated price premium made sustainable consumption a political question, as it raises que
Denna uppsats syftar främst till att utreda hur svensk straffrätt betraktar situationen där en person verbalt förmår annan att begå självmord och om någon skulle kunna bli ansvarig för annans självmord. Det mer övergripande syftet är att undersöka lagstiftarens ambitioner kring vad som bör kriminaliseras och varför självmord knappt behandlas i rättskälleläran och inom rättsväsendet. Självmord ellThe purpose of this essay is primarily to examine how the Swedish criminal law considers the situation where a person persuades another to kill oneself. Furthermore, the essay aims more generally to investigate the legislator ́s ambition about what actions that should be criminalized and why suicide barely is treated in the judicial. Today, suicide or attempted suicide does not constitute a crime
Thermoelectricity is the physical principle of converting heat energy directly into electrical energy. Devices based on this principle so far fall short on efficiency but future thermoelectric devices based on QDs can have very high efficiency. Before QDs can be used in actual devices their behavior must the studied to a further extent. This work theoretically explores how a QD in a single electro
The aim of this study was to examine the support extended to friends and families of persons who have committed suicide. The study is based on nine qualitative interviews with bereaved friends and relatives. Based on Cullberg's theory of crisis and Dyregrov's theory of coping strategies, we analyzed the interviews where families described the support services they received. The study shows
Author: Shkurta Durmishaj & Malin Svensson Titel: Jobb- och utvecklingsgarantin – a quarantee for what? Supervisor: Johan Cronehed Assesor: Lars Harrysson Abstract The purpose of this study was to illuminate participants of the Swedish labor market program (Sw. Jobb- och utvecklingsgarantin (JOB) experiences of and perspectives on the program. To strengthen the understanding of the study, we
A garden G is populated by n≥1 bamboos b1,b2,...,bn with the respective daily growth rates h1≥h2≥⋯≥hn. It is assumed that the initial heights of bamboos are zero. The robotic gardener maintaining the garden regularly attends bamboos and trims them to height zero according to some schedule. The Bamboo Garden Trimming Problem (BGT) is to design a perpetual schedule of cuts to maintain the elevation
PURPOSE: The phase III, open-label, prospective, multicenter, randomized Ewing 2008R1 trial (EudraCT2008-003658-13) was conducted in 12 countries to evaluate the effect of zoledronic acid (ZOL) maintenance therapy compared with no add-on regarding event-free survival (EFS, primary endpoint) and overall survival (OS) in standard-risk Ewing sarcoma (EWS). PATIENTS AND METHODS: Eligible patients had
The aim of this systematic review was to determine whether one-stage palatoplasty for children born with cleft lip and palate shows overall advantages in outcome compared with two-stage palatoplasty. The included studies were controlled studies of syndromic and non-syndromic children born with unilateral cleft lip and palate, bilateral cleft lip and palate, or isolated cleft palate. The interventi
Artificial intelligence (AI) is a key enabler for future 6G networks. Currently, related architecture works propose AI-based applications and network services that are dedicated to specific tasks (e.g., improving the performance of RAN with AI). These proposed architectures offer a unique way to collect data, process it, and extract features from data for each AI-based application. However, this d
In the autumn of 2003 newspaper headlines declared that Environment Commissioner Margot Wallström had poison in her blood. After a blood test 28 hazardous chemicals were found, among these DDT that had been abandoned from the market since 1983. In this thesis the reader will find a case study on the EU's chemical Regulation REACH (Regulation, Evaluation, Authorisation of Chemicals). REACH has
BACKGROUND: The primary objective was to investigate the clinical and radiological outcome in patients undergoing major hip surgery using a novel antibiotic containing bone substitute for local augmentation in trochanteric fracture fixation or revision of total hip arthroplasty (THA).METHODS: We implanted a novel biphasic bone substitute CERAMENT™|G consisting of hydroxyapatite, calcium sulphate a
The purpose of this study was to explore and analyse both how the grief groups in the Church of Sweden are organised, as well as how and if the religion is used during the conversations about death. I have also looked at how the group leaders view the grieving process. Semi-structured interviews were held with deacons and clergy that work with leading grief groups within the Church of Sweden. The
A human-rights based approach (HRBA) to development is increasingly promoted by researchers and adopted by development actors. The approach integrates the fields of development and human rights by transforming development goals into obligations, but is criticized for being more rhetorical than brought to actual change on the ground. This study compares an international non-governmental organizatio
This essay examines the different ways in which the Syrian newspaper al-Waṭan and BBC Arabic report and describe the events of the Syrian civil war, specifically which side in the conflict is described as being what I call the righteous perpetrator and the unrighteous perpetrator respectively. Furthermore I compared to which degree the two media sources were one-sided in their respective accounts
