Hur vi väljer att organisera våra familjer har genomgått en radikal förändring sedan mitten av 1900-talet. Kärnfamiljen är visserligen fortfarande den vanligaste familjeformen, men den har i allt större utsträckning kommit att kompletteras med en rad icke-traditionella familje-konstellationer, bl.a. samkönade familjer. Den här utvecklingen har naturligtvis också påverkat hur vi lever och praktisHow we choose to organize our families has changed significantly since the mid-20th century. It might be true that the nuclear family remains the most common family form. However, it has to an increasing extent been accompanied by a number of non-traditional families, including same-sex families. Naturally, this development has also affected the way we live and how we practice family life. While

Abstract The Major histocompatibility complex (MHC) plays a central role in the vertebrate immune system. The protein products of MHC genes present foreign peptides to T-cells, which then initiates the appropriate immune responses. MHC genes show extreme level of polymorphism and this was suggested to be maintained by selective pressures exerted by various parasites. Although associations between

Human rights have been a core concern of the United Nations since its inception. The responsibility to respect, protect and fulfill human rights lies with States. They ratify international human rights instruments and are required to create mechanisms to safeguard human rights. When States ratify a human rights instrument, they have to ensure that the rights become part of or are recognized by the

Allt fler personer i Sverige drabbas av typ-2 diabetes. Personer med diabetes har rätt till att förstå hur sjukdomen fungerar och hur den behandlas och målet med diabetesvården är att lära patienterna att sköta så mycket som möjligt själva. Distriktssköterskan har en viktig roll när det gäller att informera och motivera patienter med typ-2 diabetes för att förebygga komplikationer. Syftet med studMore people in Sweden suffer from type-2 diabetes and they have a right to understand how the disease works and how it is treated. The goal of diabetes care is to teach the patients how to handle as much as possible themselves. District nurses have therefore an important role to inform and motivate patients with type-2 diabetes to prevent complications. The aim of the study was to investigate how

Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to implement the One Supplier Capacity Process, a standardized method of working with capacities within IKEA. In order to do this the current way of working with capacities is investigated prior to the actual implementation of the process. The key contribution of the authors is the development of a template to support the implementation process and ensure acc

The RF power amplifier is one of the most critical blocks of transceivers, as it is expected to provide a suitable output power with high gain, efficiency and linearity. In this paper, a 60-GHz power amplifier based on an injection locked structure is demonstrated in a standard 65 CMOS technology. The PA core consists of a cross-coupled pair of NMOS transistors with an NMOS current source. This st

In the cold and dark countries of Scandinavia, light is a precious thing. Furthermore in recent years cycling has become an increasingly popular means of transportation in Scandinavia. The common use of bikes in these dark landscapes results in a high demand on bike lights. An issue is that people have their bike lights stolen. Therefore “be seen” bike lights, that are meant to be attached

De Jure Belli ac Pacis Libris Tres, av Hugo Grotius, och den westfaliska freden, i 1600-talets Europa, har ofta betonats av forskare som födelseplatsen för den moderna folkrätten. Denna studie har ämnat granska validiteten i dessa påståenden genom en rättshistorisk undersökning av omständigheterna kring texterna och en komparativ utredning dem emellan. Arbetets huvudsakliga syfte har varit att utfDe Jure Belli ac Pacis Libris Tres, by Hugo Grotius, and the Peace of Westphalia, in 17th century Europe, has often been highlighted as the birthplace of modern public international law. This study aims to review the validity of such statements through research of the legal history concerning the topic and through a comparative examination of the two works. The main purpose of the study have been

Since the China Maritime Arbitration Commission (CMAC) was established in 1959, it has been more than 50 years for both China and CMAC in developing China’s Maritime Arbitration. From the basic point of view, it would be easily expected that the arbitration institutions of China could accept and hear a lot of maritime cases every year due to its advantages in coastal geography and developed intern

Frågan om en svensk reglering som medger tvångsvård av dementa har länge omdebatterats i media och varit föremål för flertalet utredningar. Så sent som den 29 november 2012 presenterade den nuvarande regeringen en lagrådsremiss innehållande förslag till en ny lag som i vissa fall tillåter tvångsåtgärder gentemot dementa inom socialtjänsten. Demenssjukdomar är vanliga och åldern är den främsta riskThe issue of a Swedish regulation which permits compulsory treatment of individuals suffering from dementia has been the subject of several investigations during the last three decades. In November 2012, the Swedish government presented a referral to the Council on Legislation containing proposals for a new law that in some cases allow coercive measures against individuals suffering from dementia

Gait is a spatiooral phenomenon that typifies the motion characteristics of an individual. In this paper, we propose a view-based approach to recognize humans through gait. The width of the outer contour of the binarized silhouette of a walking person is chosen as the image feature. A set of stances or key frames that occur during the walk cycle of an individual is chosen. Euclidean distances of a

Usually, background subtraction is approached as a pixel-based process, and the output is (a possibly thresholded) image where each pixel reflects, independent from its neighboring pixels, the likelihood of itself belonging to a foreground object. What is neglected for better output is the correlation between pixels. In this paper we introduce a model-based background subtraction approach which fa

In this article, we review the evolution of radio access networks and introduce fifth generation (5G), based on the current plans and expectations, as reported in the 2017 Ericsson Mobility Reports. Standardization is an ongoing effort, and much industry research is devoted to finding a good match of requirements, including balancing system performance, flexibility, and implementation implications

The aim of this Master's thesis is to study what place public libraries have in local politics, particularly from the point of view of the politicians. To answer this, I have interviewed politicians, participated as a silent observer of a public debate, and studied articles on library politics in newspapers and other press. The results show that politicians in general have a positive view of l

The text brings together the ECtHR and the CPT that are different, but key components of the system of combating torture on the European continent. On the basis of analysis of the historical background of the issue it points out the distancing concept that was followed by the drafters of the ECPT in respect of the relationship of the ECtHR and the CPT. As a result, the latter is not bound by the c

The spectrum emitted from a nickel hollow cathode has been recorded with a Fourier transform spectrometer. Two dense groups of lines just above 18 000 Å have been identified as the transitions 3d8 (3F)5f-3d8 (3F)6g and 3d8 (3F)5g-3d8 (3F)6h in Ni II. The level structure of the configurations involved in these transitions has been studied by fitting the Slater parameters of the energy matrices to t
