In order to become good at reading one needs to read a lot and this is why promoting reading is

Diabetes mellitus är en av vår tids största folksjukdomar och påverkar miljontals människor runtom i världen. World health organization (WHO) uppskattade att ungefär 422 miljoner vuxna led av diabetes 2014 och att diabetes orsakade 1,5 miljoner dödsfall 2012. I Sverige beräknas ca 1 miljon människor lida av diabetes eller vara i riskzonen för att utveckla diabetes. Antalet människor som berörs attPrevious studies have shown that increased incorporation of odd chain saturated fatty acids (OCFAs) into plasma phospholipids is associated with a lower future risk of developing type 2 diabetes and that decreased levels of OCFAs are linked to increased insulin resistance. Since the β-cell plays a pivotal role in the progression of type 2 diabetes it is of interest to investigate if elevated level

Stevia is a natural sweetener with increasing use in known products, for instance Coca Cola Company launched a new brand called "Life" were they use Stevia as a sweetener. In this work, we have attempted to separate and analyze the different compounds that give the sweet taste, known as steviol glycosides, by ion-exchange chromatography with pulsed amperometric detection. The known metho

Syftet med föreliggande uppsats är att utreda huruvida ockerparagrafen er-bjuder ett effektivt skydd mot tvångsarbete i Sverige och om så inte är fallet utreda förutsättningarna för en ny kriminalisering. För att uppfylla syftet utreds hur tvångsarbete definieras och vilket eller vilka skyddsintressen som aktualiseras. Vidare utreds om ockerparagrafen är utformad på ett effektivt sätt för att skydThe purpose with this paper is to examine whether or not the usury clause offers a satisfactory protection against forced labor in Sweden and if so is not the case investigate the prerequisites for a new criminalization. To com-plete the purpose a definition of forced labor is performed and what or which protective interests that are prevalent. The paper also discuss if the usury clause is designe

How does knowledge among retailers in Hässleholm municipality, meet the legal obligations for labeling, approved substances, storage and child-resistant packaging for the sale of pesticides to the consumer? The study is limited to Hässleholm municipality and is a supervisory project on behalf of the Environment Office. A selection of 9 different traders’ products of pesticides, have been investiga

En undersökning av tre dagvattendammar i Helsingborg har genomförts för att undersöka risken för att dammarna översvämmas för ofta, vilket kan leda till skador på närliggande hus och infrastruktur. Dagvatten är namnet man använder för vatten som under en begränsad tid rinner på markytan, huvudsakligen till följd av regn eller snösmältning. Eftersom vattnet inte kan infiltrera jorden om det befinThe rain data investigated shows that none of the rains registered at Bendzgatan, Halalid and Sofieberg during 2007-2012 or at Gåsebäcksvägen during 1991-2008 had potential to flood the storm water retention basin in Rydebäck. The retention basin located in Raus Vång is likely to have been flooded several times during the same period, but due to the topography of the surrounding area, the building

The phenomenon of political parties that fluctuate on various issues is nothing new in either Swedish or other countris’ politics. Why do parties change stance on different issues and how can we understand this? The aim of this paper is to create an understanding of why the Center party's leadership acted as they did during the government negotiations of 2018/2019. The purpose of this essay is

Kronologisk ålder utgör en viktig del av en persons identitet och i västvärlden är det en självklarhet att alla känner till sin ålder. Så är det dock inte fallet för personer som kommer från vissa länder i mellanöstern där födelseregister oftast inte existerar och där det är högst ovanligt att någon firar sin födelsedag. Just från mellanöstern kommer många ensamkommande barn till Sverige och ansökChronological age is an important part of every person’s identity and in the Western communities it is given that everyone knows how old they are. However, it is not the case for people coming from certain countries in the Middle East where birth records do not exist and where it is highly unusual for someone to celebrate a birthday. Many unaccompanied children from, Middle East apply for asylum i

Numeriska implementeringar av GMRES-metoden för minimering av residualer: För att förstå exakt vad som händer när, till exempel, luft strömmar över en flygplansvinge eller när vatten flyter kring ett fartygsskrov, behövs omfattande datorberäkningar. Eftersom storheter som vindhastighet, lufttryck eller temperatur kan variera redan över små avstånd, måste beräkningarna göras i små steg, vilket kräThe generalized minimal residual method (GMRES) is an iterative method used to find numerical solutions to non-symmetric linear systems of equations. The method relies on constructing an orthonormal basis of the Krylov space and is thus vulnerable to an imperfect basis caused by computational errors. There have been attempts to address this issue by devising variations of the method that are less

This paper explores how effective the Danish Greencard opt-out is in impeding the process of Europeanization. It investigates the cases of the Danish Greencard scheme and the German EU Blue Card directive in order to determine if national Danish sovereignty has been preserved through this opt-out. Opt-outs and high-skill migration are some of the most under evaluated topics within the field of Eur

This thesis has examined if there is any difference in the relationship between different risk factors and the cross-section of assets excess returns on the Swedish stock market between days when macroeconomic news is scheduled to be announced (announcement days) and other days (normal days). The Fama and Macbeth two-pass regression method have been used for investigating the hypothesis that annou

Social media (SM) use in crisis and disaster management (CDM) is resource-intensive and can overwhelm emergency management authorities (EMAs). Digital voluntarism offers SM capacities for EMAs. A significant approach to reap benefits from digital voluntarism for domestic CDM is introducing Virtual Operations Support Teams (VOSTs). While VOSTs have been proven valuable in increasing capacities, the

This literary analysis is devoted to investigating the mysterious death of José Arcadio in One Hundred Years of Solitude, written by Gabriel García Márquez. The intention is to present a perspective developed by Stephen Slemon in which magical realism is considered in terms of postcolonial discourse, and to apply it to the mentioned episode. Furthermore, the principal objective of the analysis is,

This master’s thesis examines the lived experiences of female football supporters in Malmö. The purpose is to investigate how female supporters experience their role as both supporter and female and their space in the stands. Through the method semi-structed interviews, ten female supporters organized in Malmösystrar are heard. A feminist analysis is carried out based on a theoretical framework of

Antalet barn och unga som upplever könsdysfori har ökat drastiskt under det senaste årtiondet. Unga könsdysforiker har behandlats och behandlas idag med hormoner som kan bromsa pubertetsutvecklingen eller göra att kroppen utvecklas närmare till det könet som den unga identifierar sig som. Könsbe-kräftande hormonbehandlingar till barn har på senare tid väckt ett antal frågor, eftersom behandlingarnThe number of children and adolescents who experience gender dysphoria has increased rapid-ly over the past decade. Gender dysphoria in adolescence may be treated with hormones that either delay the onset of puberty or govern the gender development closer towards the gender that the patient identifies with. Hormonal gender-affirming treatments in children have recently been brought up to discussio

Increasing demand for higher data rates in wireless communication systems has tremendously evolved over the last years. This demand is rapidly increasing with rising in number of wireless devices. Advanced antenna systems (AAS) – known as massive MIMO – is one of the central enabling radio technologies for 5G cellular systems that significantly increase the data rates provided for data-hungry appl

This paper aims to investigate infrastructure’s ability to affect integration in socio-economically vulnerable areas. The paper focuses on Rosengard train station and uses it as a case study to concretize the link between infrastructure and integration. To give further understanding of the subject, earlier studies of infrastructure challenges and integration are examined. Don Mitchell’s new axioms
