“It’s for the sake of the clients that we are here” – The managers’ area of discretion and their ability to influence the elderly’s daily situation. Our essay focuses on managers of nursing homes in the Swedish municipal elderly care and their ability to influence the elderly’s everyday life. We were also interested in how they use this area of discretion and the factors that influence and limit
The purpose of this essay was to study the social planning, in terms of age care, of the elderly immigrants in Sweden. I wanted to examine if elderly immigrants have special needs and if so, how they are met. I also wanted to find out in what way elderly immigrants are taken into consideration in the planning process of age care and how one can relate that to the planning of age care in general. M
This master thesis explores the controversy surrounding the European Union (EU) and Pacific, in their joint negotiation of an Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA), from late 2005 to early 2009. A qualitative approach is adopted, employing constructivist and post-structuralist theory, to examine the basic discourses relevant to the negotiations. Through this, each side’s key images of ideology (dev
The emergency contraception pill has been available in Sweden since 1994, in spite of this the abortion rate has not decreased. The purpose with this examination paper was to explore attitudes towards, knowledge and experiences with the emergency contraception pill among supposed consumers. A systematic review was performed and six articles from Sweden, Finland and Great Britain were analyzed. The
Vid användning av text- och datautvinning (TDU) sker en exemplarfram-ställning som normalt, enligt unionsrätten, faller inom upphovsmäns en-samrätt till sina verk. I vissa fall kunde detta undantas genom de undantag som redan finns enligt den befintliga unionsrättsliga upphovsrätten, men rättsläget föreföll oklart. Därav kom det så kallade DSM-direktivet med två undantag för TDU. Ett undantag för When using text and data mining (TDM) there is a reproduction of the works that are subject to the analysis. This reproduction would normally be prohibited by the copyright that EU law gives the authors of their work. In some cases, this could fall under the pre-existing exceptions provided for by EU law but the legal situation regarding TDM was rather unclear. This led to the DSM Directive which
This thesis begins by briefly discussing translation in general, identifying some of the problems involved in the linguistic activity. Then it seeks to explain what is involved in translation relating to film and television, i.e. subtitling. Finally, a comparison will be made between the Spanish speech in the Mexican film, Como agua para chocolate - directed by Alfonso Arau in 1992 and based on hi
The pressure to achieve net-zero emissions has pushed for new technologies including carbon capture and storage (CCS) based on the combustion of biomass (BECCS). While bioenergy is a relatively mature industry in Sweden, the addition of CCS may increase the demand for local biomass. Furthermore, previous studies on the potential of BECCS in Sweden have not considered the impacts of climate change
The evidence-based practice in the field of social work is leaning on science, professional expertise, and the client's wishes and experiences, with the latter two tending to be of less value. With the implementation of peer support in psychiatric care and social support, there is room for this tendency to be challenged. This study aimed to explore how the peer supporters experience and view t
This study aimed to examine the counselor's view of mental health and how Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is used in counseling sessions to improve adolescents' mental health. By conducting semi-structured interviews with nine Swedish school counselors and counselors who work with adolescents and/or young adults the study explores in what way ACT can be used to improve the mental h
Det snabba skiftet inom bilindustrin mot elektiska fordon sätter stor press på inte bara biltillverkare, utan på hela försörjningskedjan för elbilar. Detta innefattar litiumjonbattericeller som är det mest moderna sättet att lagra energi i elbilar. Den tekniska utvecklingen av litiumjonceller drivs i stor utsträckning av behoven från biltillverkare. Under det senaste årtiondet har det inneburit at
I Sverige är grundvatten är en av de huvudsakliga källorna för dricksvatten. Grundvattenmagasin kommer att påverkas av klimatförändringar genom förändrad effektiv nederbörd och således grundvattenbildning. Dessa vattenresurser ska finnas kvar för framtida generationer och det är därför av vikt att studera dem samt öka förståelsen kring dem. Sveriges miljömål kring grundvatten nämner ett behov av aIn Sweden groundwater is one of the primary sources for drinking water. Groundwater reservoirs will be affected by climate changes with changes in effective precipitation, which means changes in groundwater recharge. It is therefore of value to study and examine these water resources, so that they remain just that for the generations to come. Sweden’s environmental goals regarding groundwater sugg
The coastal city of Kalmar is known as an attractive summer destination, both locally and internationally. The coast has long been included as one of the municipality’s priority goals. In its city development vision, the municipality strives to utilize the coast and take it into consideration in urban planning. On the other hand, Kalmar has a historic character, which is visible through its urban
The radiography profession in Sweden is young but has been rapidly changing over the recent years. The developing profession has led to radiographers facing various challenges related to responsibility for both the technical equipment and patient care in the periradiographic process. Further education is urgent to keep up with the arising level of competence required. The study aimed to explore ra
In molecular neurobiology, perhaps no molecule has been as thoroughly examined as Alzheimer's beta-amyloid precursor protein (beta-APP). In the years since the cDNA encoding beta-APP was cloned, the protein has been the subject of unparalleled scrutiny on all levels. From molecular genetics and cellular biology to neuroanatomy and epidemiology, no scientific discipline has been left unexplored - a
In molecular neurobiology, perhaps no molecule has been as thoroughly examined as Alzheimer's beta-amyloid precursor protein (betaAPP). In the ten years since the cDNA encoding betaAPP was cloned, the protein has been the subject of unparalleled scrutiny on all levels. From molecular genetics and cellular biology to neuroanatomy and epidemiology, no scientific discipline has been left unexplored -
To honour the memory of Knut Bertram Broberg, and to promote continuing work on the many ideas which he shared so generously with students and colleagues throughout his lifetime, a symposium was arranged at University College of Dublin in 2007. The idea was to create an informal atmosphere, and to keep the num- ber of participants fairly low. This has now become a bi-annual symposium with the high
