From 2004 there has been a substantial increase of foster homes on a full day contribution, in relation to this, municipalities have a hard time in recruiting foster homes. Earlier studies has pointed at that social workers contact with the foster home is an important parameter when it comes to decrease risk of collaps within the sector of foster home care. Our aim with the study has therefore bee

Environmental certification for buildings has become more common since the first certification system became available on the market in the 90s. Today there are hundreds of thousands buildings with an environmental certification. More and more companies choose to place their business in a certified building. The problem when companies are in the election of a new facility may be the lack of knowle

Title: Development of a Forecasting Model for Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) Components. A Design Science Study at Tetra Pak. Authors: Faruk Kodzaga & Giacomo Daniele Supervisor: Jan Olhager, Department of Industrial Management and Logistics Background: The importance of accurate demand forecast is set due to the drivers of short lead-times, just-in-time-deliveries and cost effective

A large amount of economic research is reliant upon census, survey, or national accounts as a source of data. For many developing nations, the quality of this data is widely recognised to be unreliable and is rarely available at the sub-national level. By using a new and improved source of night-time satellite imagery data, this study investigates to what extent this data can serve as a proxy to t

Reservdelars tillgänglighet är en central fråga i EU:s arbete för en cirkulär ekonomi och hållbar konsumtion. Genom den s.k. designreformen, bestående av förordning (EU) 2024/2822 och direktiv (EU) 2024/2823, införs ett harmoniserat reparationsundantag för formberoende reservdelar. Undantaget syftar till att harmonisera mönsterskyddet för reservdelar inom EU, och att liberalisera eftermarknaden föThe availability of spare parts is a central issue in the EU’s efforts to promote a circular economy and sustainable consumption. Through the so-called Design Reform, consisting of Regulation (EU) 2024/2822 and Directive (EU) 2024/282, a harmonised repair clause for component parts whose appearance determines the design is introduced. The purpose of the clause is to harmonise design protection for

This thesis investigates the behaviour of an active dynamic filtering (ADF) system connected to an unknown electrical grid and suggests how to use control theory to reach desired requirements. The ADF system, which is based on a product by Comsys AB, consists of a PI controller and a low pass filter. The main part of this work was focused on developing methods for system identification by finding

The evolution into a networked society, where a wide variety of devices are connected to the Internet, opens up many new opportunities for creating smart products and applications that dynamically adapt to the current environment. A common scenario will be that applications require or benefit from using several devices at the same time for the execution. Such distributed applications may be comple

The EU is as a supranational organization based on the thought of the formation of an emerging common European economy. European Parliament and Council Directive 2004/38/EC was put into force in 2004 and is the latest involving the EU rules on free movement within the EU territory. The directive, called the directive on free movement, can also be seen as a part of the plan of a strong Europe given

Sensitive detection of short nucleic acids is used to identify viral and bacterial diseases, detect biomarkers of cancer, as well as in gene expression studies. Currently available techniques such as PCR, electrochemical detection and SPR are typically costly and often require amplification of the DNA. Here, we demonstrate a sensing system for picomolar detection of short single-stranded DNA by fl

Reconstructions and simulations disagree on whether the Holocene exhibited a long-term cooling or warming signal. Anthropogenic land-use could be an important forcing regionally, but available population-based estimates differ widely. We examine transient Holocene climate model simulations forced with three population-based disturbed-land reconstructions and compare this with a fourth scenario der

The purpose of this work was to present collective data on firefighter fatalities in Sweden between 1937 and 2016. Data presented is directly related to operations only. Fatalities due to long-term exposure of gases, particles, and physical/psychological stress or similar were not included in the study. Also, accidents involving ambulances as well as fatalities in direct relation to physical trainThe purpose of this work was to present collective data on firefighter fatalities in Sweden between 1937 and 2016.

A simultaneous measurement of the three components of the top-quark and top-antiquark polarisation vectors in t-channel single-top-quark production is presented. This analysis is based on data from proton–proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 139 fb−1, collected with the ATLAS detector at the LHC. Selected events contain exactly one iso

1.Offspring size is a key functional trait that can affect all phases of the life history, from birth to reproduction, and is common to all the Metazoa. Despite its ubiquity, reviews of this trait tend to be taxon‐specific. We explored the causes and consequences of offspring size variation across plants, invertebrates and vertebrates.2.We find that offspring size shows clear latitudinal patterns Offspring size is a key functional trait that can affect all phases of the life history, from birth to reproduction, and is common to all the Metazoa.

The elliptic (v2), triangular (v3), and quadrangular (v4) flow coefficients of π±, K±, p+p¯,Λ+Λ¯,KS0, and the ϕ-meson are measured in Pb-Pb collisions at sNN=5.02 TeV. Results obtained with the scalar product method are reported for the rapidity range |y| < 0.5 as a function of transverse momentum, pT, at different collision centrality intervals between 0–70%, including ultra-central (0–1%) collis

Isolation of DNA from blood and buccal swabs in adequate quantities is an integral part of forensic research and analysis. The present study was performed to determine the quality and the quantity of DNA extracted from four commonly available samples and to estimate the time duration of the ensuing PCR amplification. Here, we demonstrate that hair and urine samples can also become an alternate sou

Due to the negative environmental impacts along the life cycle of fossil-based plastics, there is an increased interest in the development of biobased and biodegradable plastics. Especially, biodegradable bioplastics possess different material characteristics than fossil-based plastics and can therefore be expected to perform differently during the product use and in end-of-life (EOL) phases. Thus
