Osteoarthritis and osteoporosis are two medical conditions involving the hip which affect the life quality of many people worldwide. These two diseases are diagnosed with 2D imaging by analysis of radiological measures, bone mineral density and joint space. Computed Tomography (CT) can provide 3D images of the hip, but has higher cost and imposes a higher radiation dose to the patient. Another op
The purpose of this essay has been to analyse to what extent the Swedish Armed Forces is a learning organisation based on experiences concerning Defence medicine and the Operational Mentoring and Liaison Teams (OMLT) in Afghanistan. Strengths and weaknesses are highlighted. The ambition has been to increase the overall understanding of the organisation in light of learning organisational structure
Lagen om anställningsskydd infördes år 1974 för att trygga anställningen för alla enskilda arbetstagare på den svenska arbetsmarknaden. Tidigare hade arbetstagarnas rättigheter reglerats i kollektivavtal och endast vissa arbetstagares rättigheter var reglerade i lag. Några regler som infördes i 1974 års lag var bland annat saklig grund för uppsägning enigt 7 § LAS. För att saklig grund skulle anseThe Employment Protection Act from 1974 was implemented in to Swedish law as a way to secure the employments of the employees. Before the implementation of the Act, the rights of the employees were regulated in collective agreements. By then there were only some rights regulated in the law. Some of the regulations that were implemented in to the Employment Protection Act was the 7§. The 7 § states
Uppsatsen syftade till att skapa och testa ett enkelt verktyg att använda inom organisationer för att öka anställdas välbefinnande och förbättra upplevelsen av psykologiska, sociala och organisatoriska arbetsförhållanden. Med teoretisk utgångspunkt i positiv psykologi skapades en tre veckor lång arbetsplatsintervention. De 32 deltagarna var administrativ personal hos en politisk organisation indel
Critical infrastructure protection is of crucial importance for society to function properly. Moreover, for these critical infrastructures to work, physical infrastructure systems are needed. This master thesis examines how risk consideration in infrastructure planning is achieved when critical infrastructure preservation is prioritized. The thesis also answers questions regarding what types of pr
We live in a world built on consumerist values and a spatial rationale of capital accumulation. This modern society has led to architecture thriving through super consumption and super production ultimately leading to the generic. Cities and spaces that were usually rich in variation and texture have now become an architectural melting pot. Architecture has become smooth, simplified and reduced to
This thesis examines the relationship between international law protecting refugees and national legislation in Sweden and in the UK. International protection is afforded by the 1951 Geneva Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees. But also general international human rights instruments are relevant. These include the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the International Covenant on Civil
Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Förekomsten av finkorniga granitgångar är ett potentiellt problem vid lagring av kärnbränsle i berggrunden eftersom de utgör svaghetszoner. Det är därför viktigt att ta reda på hur dessa gångar beter sig i berggrunden. Huvudsyftet med detta examensarbete är att undersöka om de finkorniga granitgångarna är kontrollerade av några strukturer i tunneln vid ÄspölaborThe occurrence of fine-grained granite (FGG) dykes is one of the potential problems in the storage of nuclear waste in the bedrock. It is therefore important to locate and characterise such dykes. The major object in this thesis is to investigate, whether the FGG dykes at the Äspö Hard Rock Laboratory (ÄHRL) are structurally controlled. This involves measuring the orientations of the dykes, to cor
Regleringen för skuldbedömningen vid självförvållad berusning har diskuterats i minst ett sekel. I arbetet förklaras större del av ruslärans rättsliga utveckling, genom statliga utredningar, praxis och doktrin. Syftet med arbetet är emellertid inte enbart att förklara ruslärans utveckling, utan även att parallellt analysera eventuella bakomliggande orsaker till ruslärans utveckling, med utgångspunThe regulation of culpability in self-induced intoxication situations has been discussed for at least a century. The most part of the doctrine of intoxication will be described through State investigations, court practice and doctrine in this thesis. The purpose of this thesis, however, is not only to describe the development of the doctrine of intoxication, but to analyze the underlying causes to
Book displays in public libraries are a common occurrence in library users’ public library experience. Yet, book displays, and how library users experience them, are not a common occurrence within library and information science research. The purpose of this essay is therefore to create an understanding about how library users at public libraries experience and interact with displays in public lib
Syftet med denna studie är att ur ett sociologiskt perspektiv undersöka hur det är att bo i Barcelona och arbeta i ett internationellt callcenter som ung europeisk medborgare. Vad är det som motiverar individer att migrera och arbeta i Barcelona? Hur upplever de förutsättningar i arbetet, social gemenskap och hur uppfattar de sin tillhörighet? Dessa frågeställningar sätts sedan i en bredare kontex
Genom denna uppsats kommer jag redogöra för lagstiftningsverktyget stoppskrivelser för att få en djupare förståelse för vad det är. För att göra detta har jag använt mig av förarbetena till företeelsen, en undersökning av stoppskrivelseinstitutet genomförd av professor Robert Påhlsson samt litteratur. Sverige har ett grundlagsstadgat skatterättsligt retroaktivitetsförbud som innebär att man i efteThe constitution of Sweden, has a statutory tax-law retroactivity ban which stipulates that in hindsight one person can’t be responsible to the State for taxes that weren’t taxable at the time of the transaction. But we also have an exception saying that, in cases where the government submits a cease order to the parliament and if the parliament considers that “special reasons” exist for retroacti
When a parent dies, a person’s life comes to an end while others are forever changed. The aim of this thesis is to explore and identify the needs of bereaved children and to investigate how professionals within the Swedish public health care system, work to support children in grief. The empirical part of this study was conducted over the course of two months in 2013. Four hospital counselors and
Objective Compare arthroscopic partial meniscectomy to a true sham intervention. Methods Sham-controlled superiority trial performed in three county hospitals in Denmark comparing arthroscopic partial meniscectomy to skin incisions only in patients aged 35-55 years with persistent knee pain and an MRIconfirmed medial meniscus lesion. A computer-generated table of random numbers generated two compa
Gene fusion transcripts containing PRDM10 were recently identified in low-grade undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcomas (UPS). Here, we describe the morphologic and clinical features of 9 such tumors from 5 men and 4 women (age: 20 to 61 y). Three cases had previously been diagnosed as UPS, 3 as superficial CD34-positive fibroblastic tumor (SCD34FT), 2 as pleomorphic liposarcoma, and 1 as pleomorphi
cDNA encoding rat alpha 1-microglobulin-bikunin was ligated into the transfer vector pVL 1392 and recombined with a wild-type baculovirus. The resulting alpha 1-microglobulin-bikunin-encoding baculovirus was used to infect Trichoplusia ni (Hi-5) insect cells. The infected cells secreted alpha 1-microglobulin with maximal concentrations of 15 mg/liter 5 days after infection. The secreted proteins m
Social and technological innovations are commonly seen as either being induced from the ‘top-down’ – e.g., by policymakers – or evolving from the ‘bottom-up’ – e.g., by consumers. Instead, a ‘middle-out’ perspective (MOP) focuses on agents of change that are located in the middle, between the top and the bottom. Janda and Parag (2013) and Parag & Janda (2014) describe how middle actors include
