This thesis is specifically dealing with simulations of light transport through the upper body of infants, as well as constructing a tissue-like model (phantom) that can be used in experiments. The goal is to use these simulatio
Bakgrund: Att vara förälder till barn med funktionsnedsättning innebär ofta ökade stressfaktorer i vardagen med de ökade behov barnet har. Stress, ångest och depression är vanligt förekommande samt bortprioritering av meningsfulla aktiviteter, vilket kan leda till aktivitetsobalans. Syfte: Syftet med studien var att i vetenskapliga studier undersöka interventioner för föräldrar till barn med funkt
Bakgrund: Stroke är en vanlig orsak till att vuxna människor drabbas av fysiska och kognitiva funktionsnedsättningar. Kognition är individens förmåga ta in, tolka och bearbeta information från omgivningen. Att inte klara av att utföra vardagliga aktiviteter så som personlig vård, arbete och fritidsaktiviteter är en vanlig följd av kognitiva funktionsnedsättningar. Syfte: studien har ett tvådelat s
Rehabilitering efter en stroke är viktig för att den drabbade individen ska återfå så stor del av de påverkade kroppsfunktionerna som möjligt. Balansen blir ofta försämrad hos individer som överlevt stroke och behöver stärkas för att inte hindra individen i dennes vardagliga liv. Rehabiliteringsträningen av balansen bör innehålla motivationsfaktorer för att träningen ska ske i tillräckligt stor omThe rehabilitation after a stroke is important for the individual so that the affected body functions recover as much as possible. The balance is often impaired after a stroke and need to be strengthend to not impede the stroke-survivor in the daily life. The rehabilitation training of the balance should include motivation factors for the training to take place in sufficiently large scale. The aim
I Sverige är höghastighetsjärnvägar ett debatterat ämne. Undersökningsarbeten har startat för det första steget i ett höghastighetsnät – Ostlänken mellan Järna och Linköping – som planeras vara trafikerad år 2028. Höghastighetsjärnvägen är avsedd att tillåta hastigheter på 320 km/h. Vid så höga hastigheter blir dimensioneringskraven för brobanans vibrationer strängare. Tidigare studier har visat aIn Sweden, high-speed railways is a subject for public debate. The first stage of a high-speed train network, Ostlänken between Stockholm and Linköping, is under investigation, and is planned to be trafficked in 2028. The high-speed railway is intended to hold traffic with speeds up to 320 km/h. At such speeds, the design requirements of the accelerations of the bridge superstructure become more s
Uppsatsen undersöker om Högsta domstolen (HD), genom att frångå lagstiftarens intentioner avseende vad som ska utgöra normalstraffet för mord, har överskridit sina befogenheter enligt regeringsformen (RF). Med normalstraff avses det straff domstolarna utgår ifrån när det bestämmer straffvärdet. I Sverige utgår all offentlig makt från folket, vilket betecknas som folksuveränitetsprincipen. Det voThe paper examines if the Supreme Court, by not following the legislator´s intentions regarding what the normal penalty for murder should be, has exceeded its powers under the Instrument of Government. Normal penalty refers to the penalty that the courts proceed from when deciding the penal value. The public power in Sweden proceeds from the people. It would be difficult to implement that the pe
När den enskilda överklagar ett förvaltningsbeslut står den ofta som ensam motpart i rätten mot myndighetens processjurister. För att den enskilde ska kunna ta till vara på sin rätt och obalansen inte ska bli oskäligt stor mellan parterna har domaren lagstadgade möjligheter att påverka processen så att den enskildes rätt tas tillvara. Denna uppsatsens syfte är att undersöka om en sådan ordning kanWhen the individual appeals against an official decision, he or she often stands as the sole counterparty in the court against the authority’s litigator. In order for the individual to be able to exercise his or her rights and to even out an unreasonably large imbalance between the parties, the judge has statutory opportunities to influence the process so that the legal rights of the individual is
År 2020 inleddes med att den iranska generalen Soleimani dödades i en amerikansk drönarattack. Attacken lyfte frågan om det ständigt aktuella anticipatoriska självförsvaret och dess legitimitet, vilket har varit ett kontroversiellt ämne sedan Hugo Grotius tid. Det allmänna våldsförbudet i art. 2(4) FN-stadgan är utgångspunkten för alla internationella konflikter, men ett visst våld kan rättfärdigThe year 2020 started with Soleimani, the Iranian general, being killed in an American drone attack. The attack raised the question of anticipatory self-defence and its legitimacy, which has been a controversial subject ever since the time of Hugo Grotius. The prohibition of the use of force in art. 2(4) of the UN Charter is the basis of all international conflicts, but some use of force can be j
The purpose of this thesis is to investigate an alternative way of management within physical systems engineering development (PSED), a term which represents all fields of engineering where physical components are involved. More specifically, analysing how agile methodologies can be applicable with the use of technological advancements to overcome the restrictions hindering the increase of efficie
As modern electronics have started to reach its physical scaling limits, novel architectures and physics is needed to meet future demands. Oxide-based Resistive Random Access Memory (RRAM) is a new emerging technology that uses filament formation and rupture in thin oxides to generate resistive switching. Structure of RRAM devices often use transistors as selector devices. In this work a one-trans
Background: Aftermarket logistics is important for a manufacturing company to maintain customer satisfaction in the long run. However, the supply chain set for aftermarket parts is equally crucial as the original equipment. Modification or optimization of the logistics systems for slow-moving aftermarket items is inevitable. Sandvik, an engineering company in the mining industry is now interested
The aim of this study is to gain an understanding of the potential relationship between populism and a population’s search for security and belonging. Furthermore, how this is expressed through the rhetoric and policies of a country’s leader, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan in Turkey, and Viktor Orbán in Hungary, this is examined through conducting a qualitative content analysis. Here I use newspaper article
I samband med rekrytering blir potentiella kandidater ofta granskade på sociala medier. Praxisen kallas screening och informationen som framkommer utgör ett underlag för rekryterarens beslut om huruvida en viss kandidat bör gå vidare i rekryteringsprocessen eller inte. Användandet av sociala medier inom urvalsprocessen kan dock kopplas till sex olika markanta utmaningar. Dessa utmaningar gäller in
To keep up with the rapidly increasing global population, a significant increase in production of protein foods is required. The environmental impact of the meat industry, in combination with consumer awareness, calls for this food production to become more sustainable. One solution is development of meat analogues, which are meat-like texturized products based on vegetable proteins. In this proj
Denna uppsats syftar till att analysera statsansvar för folkmord, och gör detta mer specifikt genom att undersöka frågan om ansvar för medhjälp till folkmord samt mens rea elementet i folkmordsdefinitionen. År 2007 meddelade ICJ sin dom i the Genocide case, där en av de centrala frågorna för domstolen var ifall en stat kunde hållas ansvarig för folkmord under Folkmordskonventionen. ICJ konstateraThis thesis seeks to analyze the international responsibility of states for genocide, and more particularly does so by looking closer at complicity in genocide and the mens rea element of the definition. In 2007 the ICJ rendered its judgment in the Genocide case, where one of the key issues before the Court was whether a state could be held responsible for genocide under the Genocide Convention.
Conflicts are destructive for humans and societies, but are openings for rebuilding a more inclusive and sustainable society presented in the aftermath of conflict? This paper contributes to the growing research field and examines the link between conflict and window of opportunity for development, through a gender lens. Further, this study seeks to understand how conflict affected women’s socio
Data compression methods allow more data to be stored within a certain storage framework while still keeping the characteristics of the data in question. At the Large Hadron Collider on the grounds of CERN in Switzerland, limited data storage capability is and has always been an urgent problem. At the ATLAS experiment, one technique which allows researchers to save more data within the same storag
