Abstract Authors: Entesar Ghaleb Hashim & Sara Gunnarsson Title: Being an elderly care taker in a new social room - An essay on elderly immigrants’ experiences in Swedish health care. Supervisor: Charlotta Zettervall Assessor: Frans Oddner This essay focuses on elderly immigrants and their experiences of health care in the Swedish society. The aim of the essay is to study these immigrants’ t
Africa has suffered two traumatizing events in history that have helped shape the present day individual, be it on the continent or in the diaspora. First there was the transatlantic slave trade that spanned from the 15th century to the late 19th century and saw the inhuman and forceful transportation of Africans to plantations and homes in the Americas. Then came colonialism immediately after sla
In the period between 1940s and 1970s the widespread practice in Sweden was to use non-stainless steel reinforcement in masonry walls. In many cases cracks started to appear in joints above openings in these walls because of corrosion of the reinforcement. The largest problem is that the appearance of damaged buildings deteriorates and there is a risk of bricks falling down and rain water penetrat
Since the collapse of the Warszawa pact Central and Eastern European countries have changed their political agenda towards Western European countries (and the EU) by showing a political will to establish a (new) society based on Western principles and values. Simultaneously the Member states of the European Union have coordinated their foreign and security policy and shown an interest in solving d
Upphovsrätt och rätten till yttrandefrihet faller båda in under kategorin fundamentala rättigheter inom den Europeiska unionen (EU) och de förtjänar att åtnjuta skydd därefter. Men vad är det närmare rättsliga och faktiska förhållandet mellan dessa båda rättigheter i dagens informationssamhälle? Detta är en av tre frågor som skärskådas i uppsatsen. Presentationen ger vid handen att den traditionelCopyright and the right to freedom of expression both constitute fundamental rights in the European Union (EU) and should be protected accordingly. But what is the closer relationship, de jure and de facto, between these two legal regimes in the information society? This is one of three questions examined in this thesis. The presentation gives at hand that, traditionally, the notion has been that
Today’s companies are using three dimensional finite element programs to evaluate structures of different kinds to a much greater extent than before, among them bridge structures. These programs can be divided into two groups: general and specialized programs. The general programs are general in the sense that they don’t focus on a specific type of structure and allow the user to model most st
Title:”It takes two to tango” - A qualitative study of collaborative resources between Social psychiatry and Psychiatry. Supervisor: Anders P Lundberg. Assessor: Christina Erneling. The psychiatry reform was introduced 15 years ago. There was a vision to remove the institutions in order to give the client an opportunity of normalization by receiving care at home and participate in society by mean
The production of core material/blocks is divided in multiple steps. Before the hardening process the blocks are placed horizontally in stacks of 10 on a pallet. Between each block plastic spacers are placed to insure a spacing of 5 – 8 mm in between the blocks. This is done to achieve a better water flow and cooling efficiency in the hardening chamber. The use of plastic spacers complicates work
A significant part of IS systems implemented today introduce a mandatory use environment for their users, where daily tasks and responsibilities are dependent on or even impossible without the use of a specific system. This paper focuses on examining the relevance, importance and potential effects of user satisfaction in these kinds of environments, with the purpose of contributing to this previou
Titan aluminium alloys belong to the group of α–β-alloys, which are used for many applications in industry due to their advantageous mechanical properties, e.g. for laser powder bed fusion (PBF-LB) processes. However, the composition of the crystal structure and the respective magnitude of the solid fraction highly influences the material properties of titan aluminium alloys. Specifically, the the
Binary mixture of ammonia (NH3) and dimethyl ether (DME) has been considered in literature as a potential fuel for practical use. Nitric oxide (NO) is a major product of combustion of NH3-containing fuels, and its formation routes have to be comprehensively studied. In this work, concentration profiles of NO were experimentally measured in laminar axisymmetric flames using planar laser-induced flu
In the emerging field of plasma-assisted ammonia (NH3) combustion, the evolution of key intermediate species has rarely been reported. This work establishes a simultaneous measurement system of laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) for hydroxyl (OH) and quantitative two-photon-absorption LIF for atomic oxygen (O), to explore the OH and O dynamics in an NH3/air flame affected by a nanosecond (ns) pulsed
Zirconium hydride is commonly used for next-generation reactor designs due to its excellent hydrogen retention capacity at temperatures below 1000 K. These types of reactors operate at thermal neutron energies and require accurate representation of thermal scattering laws (TSLs) to optimize moderator performance and evaluate the safety indicators for reactor design. In this work, we present an ato
Manipulating the light polarization properties of gold nanoparticle aggregates can facilitate their applications in sensing and imaging. However, control of the intrinsic light polarization on demand at the nanoscale is hindered by the lack of a fundamental understanding of the structure-dependent plasmon coupling in the aggregates. Here, the polarization properties of intrinsic photoluminescence
Peer-to-peer-plattformar (P2P) använder informations- och kommunikationsteknik (IKT) för att koppla samman konsumenter med tjänsteleverantörer. Tillväxten av P2P har gett upphov till vetenskapliga och offentliga diskussioner om förtroende i den digitala tidsåldern. Förtroende är en förutsättning för samarbete och ordnade sociala relationer. Detta är särskilt viktigt när det gäller uthyrning av turThis thesis investigates how trust is built in the relationships between guests and hosts in digital environments of peer-to-peer (P2P) platforms. The growth of P2P platforms and their use of information and communication technologies have sparked scholarly and public discussions about trust in the digital age. Trust is a social phenomenon essential for cooperation and orderly social relationships
Fabrication of CoNb2O6 thin films was possible through spin-coating an alkali-free, aqueous solution of a polyoxoniobate ([Nb10O28]6-, Nb10) and a cobalt nitrate (Co(NO3)2), followed by annealing. The results showed that depending on the calcination conditions, minor phases of unreacted Co3O4 and β-Nb2O5 may form alongside the columbite CoNb2O6 phase. However, optimizing the calcination conditions
High-frequency, in situ observations from the Advanced Global Atmospheric Gases Experiment (AGAGE), for the period 2003 to 2012, combined with archive flask measurements dating back to 1977, have been used to capture the rapid growth of HFC-143a (CH3CF3) and HFC- 32 (CH2F2) mole fractions and emissions into the atmosphere. Here we report the first in situ global measurements of these two gases. HF
The rapid development of wearable biomedical systems now enables real-time monitoring of electroencephalography (EEG) signals. Acquisition of these signals relies on electrodes. These systems must meet the design challenge of selecting an optimal set of electrodes that balances performance and usability constraints. The search for the optimal subset of electrodes from a larger set is a problem wit
Ensuring availability is a critical requirement for the Internet of Things (IoT). CIDER, a recovery architecture, and its follow-up scheme, Lazarus, are solutions to address this issue. CIDER introduced a new hardware module, the Authenticated Watchdog Timer (AWDT), to keep IoT devices running in normal mode as long as trusted authenticated tickets are received from a hub. If valid tickets are not
