The purpose of this study was to examine in which way people with current or past experience of substance abuse describe their relationship to alcohol. There is a general point of view in the society about the people with an addiction problem. The perspective concerns that this group of inhabitants "must" live with complete abstinence from alcohol and drugs in their lives. The study was
Introduction: Post-colonial feminists have highlighted the tendency in the West to constitute the “other” woman as oppressed and in radical opposition to the “Western” liberated woman. Egyptian women as part of the larger category of the “Arab woman” are often the objects of such discourses. On the one hand, the emergence of women during the Egyptian revolution, in both Local and Western media, as
Det huvudsakliga syftet med denna uppsats är att utröna vad som krävs för att en styrelse i ett svenskt aktiebolag skall vara beslutsför. I uppsatsen har jag valt att utgå från rättskälleläran och behandla rättskällorna i den ordning som metoden förespråkar, det vill säga först och främst lag, därefter lagförarbeten och lagkommentarer, sedan rättspraxis och slutligen doktrin. Det material som jaMy main purpose with this paper is to determine what is a must for a board in a Swedish company to be quorum. I have chosen to have sources of law method as my main source to analyse the sources of law in the order that the method advocates, ie first law, then legislative history and comments, after that case law and finally doctrine. The material I have used have primarily consisted of “law comm
This paper focuses on the distinction between the private and the public in relation to violence and sexual crimes against women in relationships and intimate relationships. Historically, violence and sexual abuse in intimate relationships has been placed in the private sphere away from the law. Concepts such as "family matter" and "family violence" has expressed that a certain
This thesis focuses on the medieval city walls of Bonn and Cologne in Germany. Both of these cities had elaborate city walls and are located in close proximity to each other, but the size of the cities differs widely. When the walls were built the towns needed them as defence but this was only the main reason for the existence of the walls for the next few hundred years. The walls did, however, re
Strålning kan medföra både skada och nytta. Inom strålbehandling utnyttjas strålningen för att bota eller lindra cancersjukdomar. Målet är att med hjälp av joniserande strålning slå ut alla tumörceller samtidigt som man försöker skona övriga friska celler. Strålningen som produceras i den vanligaste utrustningen för extern strålbehandling, nämligen linjäraccelerator, är elektronstrålning och fotonPurpose: Medical linear accelerators that operate above 10 MeV produce neutrons by photonuclear reactions which present a potential radiation hazard to the personnel. The purpose of this study was to estimate neutron dose contributions to the personnel working with external radiotherapy at Malmö University Hospital (UMAS), compare different kind of neutron detectors/dosimeters, and evaluate how to
People with acquired brain injury (ABI) often have problems leading an independent life due to impaired cognitive abilities. One way to address this is to let the patients practise activities of daily living as part of their rehabilitation process. However, some everyday activities can be difficult, inconvenient or risky to practise. The demands of the environment can also have an impact on the in
Popular Abstract in Swedish För mer än hundra år sedan visade Hofmeister och Lewith att vissa salter har mer eller mindre förmåga att destabilisera ett protein upplöst i vatten. Ungefär samtidigt, visade Arrhenius att salter upplösta i vatten dissocierar i olika joner. Joner är laddade stabila partiklar som är mycket viktiga för stabiliteten av kemiska och biologiska system. Det har under de senasUsing experiments it is rather easy to measure things on the macroscopic length scale, while it is much harder to measure something in the microscopic world like molecular structure. The opposite is true in theoretical chemistry. It is today rather easy to calculate a bond distance or a coordination number, but it is not possible to perform a calculation aiming at the description of macroscopic ph
The studied bump stop is a hollow folded polyurethane cylinder mounted around the damper rod in a MacPherson front wheel suspension, restricting the upward wheel displacement. It is a critical component for durability since the force transfer through the bump stop determines the vertical peak loads to the car body. In extreme load cases as driving over a curb, the bump stop is subjected to impact
Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingen följer den konfliktladdade relationen mellan far och son i Sven Delblancs författarskap och visar hur en lysande berättarkonst växer fram i samspelet mellan minne och fiktion.In 1991, a year before his death, Sven Delblanc published his highly acclaimed autobiography, Livets ax. At the centre of these childhood memories lies the author’s problematic relationship to his father. In view of the attention attracted by Livets ax, it is not surprising that biographical interpretations of Delblanc’s oeuvre have been predominant. It is evident that the writer’s difficult child
This thesis is a study of molecular exchange between the aggregates in a colloidal dispersion. The problem of oil molecular transport at resolubilization of big oil drops by smaller microemulsion droplets is considered as an experimental model system. The resolubilization kinetics was measured through a temperature jump into a droplet microemulsion phase from a two-phase region of microemulsion dr
Popular Abstract in Swedish I en komponent som blir utsatt för en upprepande på- och avlastning, så kallad cyklisk belastning, kan små sprickor initieras och börja växa i materialet. Detta fenomen kallas för utmattning och kan få katastrofala följder, såsom haveri. För att med god säkerhet kunna dimensionera mot utmattning är det viktigt att på en mikro skala förstå de fenomen som ligger bakom sprFatigue implies repeated loading and unloading of a structure, and components subjected to fatigue might experience nucleation of cracks, and subsequent crack propagation. This might lead to catastrophic consequences, such as complete failure of a structure. In order to accurately dimension against fatigue it is of uttermost importance to have a thorough understanding of the mechanisms behind the
Aphids are important agricultural pests and also biological models for studies of insect-plant interactions, symbiosis, virus vectoring, and the developmental causes of extreme phenotypic plasticity. Here we present the 464 Mb draft genome assembly of the pea aphid Acyrthosiphon pisum. This first published whole genome sequence of a basal hemimetabolous insect provides an outgroup to the multiple
Inter-annual climatic variability over a large portion of sub-Saharan Africa is under the influence of the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO). Extreme variability in climate is a threat to rural livelihoods in sub-Saharan Africa, yet the role of ENSO in the balance between supply and demand of net primary productivity (NPP) over this region is unclear. Here, we analyze the impact of ENSO on this
The Holocene Series/Epoch is the most recent series/epoch in the geological timescale, spanning the interval from 11,700 yr to the present day. Together with the subadjacent Pleistocene, it comprises the Quaternary System/Period. The Holocene record contains diverse geomorphological, biological, climatological and archaeological evidence, within sequences that are often continuous and extremely w
