BackgroundThe Externalizing Spectrum Inventory-Brief Form (ESI-BF) [1] is a 160-item self-report instrument designed for the assessment of externalizing psychopathology, yet few studies to date have evaluated its psychometric properties, structural fit, and criterion validity in forensic psychiatric settings.MethodsHere, we investigated these aspects in a sample of forensic psychiatric inpatients
Birds occupy habitats ranging from Antarctic ice shelves and Arctic tundra to low-latitude deserts and lowland rainforests, and so are exposed to the full range of climates present on Earth. Cold, hot, or variable (on a variety of temporal scales) thermal conditions can present significant thermoregulatory challenges to birds, which typically must maintain body temperatures within narrow physiolog
This article is an investigation into towns, concepts and perspectives of towns. The concepts of urbanization, urbanism and urbanity all goes back to the Latin word urbs, thereby carrying a bias from Antiquity. Both present and past concepts demonstrate a range of expectations to certain settlements and a confusing use of language. Criteria reflect a choice of perspective and accessible sources. F
Purpose To describe aspects of hand function in a total population of children with cerebral palsy (CP). Methods Upper extremity data were collected for 367 children who were born between 1992 and 2001 and were registered in a population-based health care program for children with CP. Hand function was classified according to the Manual Ability Classification System (MACS), the House functional cl
Prenylhydroxybenzoic acid derivatives and other two analogues previously reported were isolated from Piper arieianum leaves. The structures of the compounds were assigned from detailed spectroscopical analysis (NMR 1D and 2D and HR ESI TOF MS) data and by comparison with data from the literature. These molecules posses pungent activity different to that of capsaicin and their activity is related t
Many actors in the construction sector as well as in the research community emphasize the importance of experience feedback and knowledge building in order to streamline and improve the working methods. Taking advantage of positive experiences, sharing them with colleagues and documenting them within the organisation can be useful for future projects. On the other hand, negative experiences should
Syftet med uppsatsen är att utforska och behandla statschefers rätt till immunitet vid grova folkrättsbrott. Den centrala frågan för uppsatsen är om statschefer idag kan begå brott mot folkrätten och ändå beviljas straffrihet. Immunitet för statschefer har utvecklats ur immuniteten för stater, som är baserad på att varje stat är suverän och likställd med andra stater. Fram till mitten av nittonhuThe aim of this thesis is to explore the status of the immunity afforded to heads of state for serious international crimes. The central question asked is whether heads of state at the present time can commit international crimes and still be granted impunity. The concept of head of state immunity developed from immunity afforded to states and is based on the principles of state-sovereignty and e
The solidarity clause was drafted a year after the terrorist attack in New York in 2001 and was informally further substantialised after the terrorist attack in Madrid in 2004. It became evident that terrorism is also a real and current threat to the Member States of the EU. The solidarity clause is now a part of the Constitutional Treaty (CT), which at the moment is subject to ratification in the
Background: To stay strong and competitive in the business high productivity and low manufacturing cost are crucial. Kalmar Industries know that they have potential to accomplish better results if they engage all employees to cooperate. Due to the financial crisis other things have been prioritised and not enough Lean thinking exercised in the organisation. Through better understanding and clearer
Projects in the space domain are extremely complex and often characterized as being “one-off”, which makes it very difficult to make good predictions on future developments. Furthermore, space projects are also associated with state-of-the-art technology, high costs and long development time. Risks are therefore a threat to project success because they may have negative effects on the project cost
Workability is a description of what ease an asphalt can be worked with during mixing, laying and compaction. The main impacting factors on the workability during the different stages are temperature and the binder properties, a studied report from Nation Center for Asphalt Technology states. This thesis aims to examine how the binder is affected by quality, temperature and additives. To investiga
A phenomenological model for explaining the magnetic properties of MnAs nanocrystals embedded in GaAs is proposed. It is shown that experimental data of DC magnetization as a function of temperature, obtained according to zero-field-cooled and field-cooled protocols, can be understood assuming a transition of the system from a low temperature state in which very slow dynamics is observed(frozen st
Uppsatsen beskriver gällande rätt vid umgängestvister rörande barn och dess föräldrar i FN:s Barnkonvention, i den europeiska konventionen angående skydd för de mänskliga rättigheterna och de grundläggande friheterna och i svensk rätt. Uppsatsens syfte är att med hjälp av gällande rätt undersöka huruvida umgängesreglerna innebär en rättighet eller en skyldighet för barn att umgås med föräldrarna. This paper describes the current law concerning the right of access between children and parents in the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC), in the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms and in Swedish law. The intent of this paper is to discuss whether the current law regarding access makes it a right or an obligation for a child to
I investigate to what extent spiral arms might affect axisymmetric Galactic models. As we need fully dynamical and high resolution Galactic evolutionary models to probe the structure of the dark matter halo, it is important that we use accurate mass models describing the MW structure. Before reaching to that level of effort, a great deal can be learned from fitting mass and kinematic models to dat
Examensarbetet behandlar upphörande av tvångsvård för barn. Lag (1990:52) med särskilda bestämmelser om vård av unga är en skyddslagstiftning som garanterar att utsatta barn ska få sina behov av vård tillgodosedda. Enligt 1 § LVU ska alla beslut som rör barn vara avgörande till vad som är det bästa för det individuella barnet. Samhället har befogenhet att bereda barnet tvångsvård om barnet lever iThe thesis deals with the cessation of compulsory care for children. LVU is a child protection legislation, which acts as a guarantee to fulfill the care needs of vulnerable children. In accordance with 1 § of the LVU, all decisions concerning children should be decisive as to what is best for the individual child. The society has the power to provide compulsory care if the child lives in a vulner
Thermal energy storage is a growing concept within the sector of energy production. The concept is based on storage of excess thermal energy, for usage during high demand, as a mean of reducing the need for new production. By implementing thermal storage economic and environmental gains can be made as production can be kept more constant over time and less energy is wasted, furthermore the storage
