Very sick patients who need specialized health services often require transport from their community to a regional facility that is appropriately resourced to provide definitive care for their condition. This is particularly important for people living in rural and remote areas but can be challenging due to long distances, mountainous terrain and inclement weather. The purpose of this research wa
Many construction companies have a construction service department but it is normally never the largest part of the company. Rather, the building services department has been seen as a fender to keep employees engaged when the economy’s been bad, with the result that no large investments have been put towards the service department. The logistics of the construction services business is different
Det har blivit allt mer tydligt att en förändring måste ske ifall de kriminella nätverken framfart ska kunna stoppas. Det dödliga vapenvåldet har ökat och det är av stor vikt att en förändring sker för att säkerställa att Sverige återigen hamnar på rätt kurs. I ett försök att åstadkomma detta valde den lagstiftande makten att implementera en kronvittnesbestämmelse i 29 kap 5a § BrB. Diskussionen kIt has become increasingly clear that there needs to be a change in order to stop the criminal networks in their pursuit of control. Lethal firearm violence has escalated and it is therefore crucial that a change occurs in order to make sure that Sweden returns to the right course. In an attempt to achieve this, the legislative authority in Sweden decided that it was time to implement a crown witn
The aim of this paper is to make an investigation of how authoritative conceptual framework about immigrants as a group is being constituted in the discourse regarding Swedish language for immigrants. I will also examine what connections there are to the overarching integration discourse. While doing this I try to establish the contrasting relationship between the ?Swedishness? and ?the Other?. My
Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning Fenologi innebär studier av naturligt återkommande händelser som till exempel bladsprickning, knoppbristning och vissningen av blad. Det är viktigt att förstå hur klimatförändringen påverkar tidpunkten då dessa händelser sker eftersom det i sin tur påverkar kol-, närings- och den hydrologiska cykeln. Fältobservationer har varit den mest använda metoden för att saPhenology is the study of the timing of natural events such as leaf-out, bud burst and senescence relative to climate change. It is important to understand how the climate change will affect the timing of these events as it in turn affects the carbon-, nutrient- and the hydrological cycles. Field observations is the most common way to gather phenology data but the result is dependent on the skill
Insect pest management is a very important aspect for plant protection in crops production. Remote sensing provides a large number of techniques that are beneficial in entomological research. Although entomological radars have been used for studying migrations of insects for many years, most of entomological radar studies have been vertically tracing high-altitude migration behaviour of insects. L
Changes in ligand binding to adrenoceptors ([3H]prazosin to α1-receptors, [3H]idazoxan to α2-receptors and [125I]cyanopindolol to β-receptors) following transient cerebral ischemia were investigated using autoradiographic methods. The binding was quantified in brain sections from control rats, rats subjected to 15 min of 2-vessel occlusion ischemia, and rats with recirculation times of 1 h, 1 week
The system dynamics technique has been demonstrated to be a proper method by which to model and simulate the development of spatial data infrastructures (SDI). An SDI is a collaborative effort to manage and share spatial data at different political and administrative levels. It is comprised of various dynamically interacting quantitative and qualitative (linguistic) variables. To incorporate lingu
This paper addresses the influence of deteriorating structural system characteristics on the value of structural health monitoring (SHM) before its implementation. The value of SHM is calculated within a recently developed framework utilizing the Bayesian pre-posterior decision analysis modelling the structural system performance, the integrity management, the structural risks and the SHM informat
Aims: The aim of this study was to find variables related to positive attitudes to physical education (PE) and strong sense of coherence (SOC) among adolescents. Methods: The study included three parts: seven physical tests; a questionnaire which included ways of living, attitudes to PE, and subjective health, the 13-question version of SOC; and information on every student's grades. The study gro
The planetary system K2-24 is composed of two transiting low-density Neptunians locked in an almost perfect 2:1 resonance and showing large transit time variations (TTVs), and it is an excellent laboratory to search for signatures of planetary migration. Previous studies performed with K2, Spitzer, and RV data tentatively claimed a significant non-zero eccentricity for one or both planets, possibl
Induced abortion is as common in religious as secular cultures, but interpretations and ways to handle abortion differ. This study focuses on existential aspects of abortion, in relation to a secularized context, through in-depth interviews with 24 Swedish women. Existential questions belonging to four areas were found: Life and Death, Meaning of Life, Morality, and Self-Image. Furthermore, four d
