A water-repellent treatment normally works well if there are no cracks in the façade. The occurrence of cracks, however, may allow water to penetrate, resulting in significant moisture. How wide a crack may be tolerated is not known. A limit of 0,3 mm is often allowed. To illuminate this question and create a better basis for evaluating an acceptable width for a crack, this paper will present both
OBJECTIVES: To map out-patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) with special reference to patients suffering from acute exacerbations, and to describe COPD health care structure and process in Swedish clinical practice in a real life setting. DESIGN: Retrospective, non-interventional, epidemiological survey. SETTING: 141 hospital based out patient clinics (OPC, n=30) and primary
Aims: The Swedish National Inpatient Registry is an important source of data for numerous epidemiological studies, amongst them studies on chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). General validation studies indicate that in general 85-95% of diagnoses reported are correct, but this is not true for all groups of diseases, why specific validation studies are of great importance. Methods: Charts
Objective: Adipocyte hypertrophy has been suggested to be causally linked with inflammation and systemic insulin resistance. The aim of the study was to determine whether increased adipocyte size is associated with increased liver fat content due to nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in humans independent of obesity, fat distribution and genetic variation in the patatin-like phospholipase do
Normative causal reasoning is essential for proper decision-making to be conducted, which is highly relevant in areas such as personnel assessment and predictions of work performance. However, research has found consistent violations of the Markov Assumption, a defining aspect of normative causal models that indicates which nodes in a causal network that are conditionally independent of one anothe
Vems sida står du på? Hur har utvecklingen av miljökommunikation i praktiken ändrats under de senaste 30 åren? Denna studie utför en semiotisk textanalys på fyra visuella texter som är publicerade av organisationen WWF. Den identifierar och analyserar de tecken och koder som används i visuell marknadsföring för att kommunicera strategiska budskap till mottagaren. Vidare analyseras hur WWF använder
Detta examensarbete är en studie som undersöker hur två av den danska Atlantvallens bunkrar skulle kunna genomgå en transformation och återanvändas. Bunkrarna har stått intakta sedan andra världskriget och ligger belägna längs det populära turistmålet Limfjorden på norra Jylland. Minnet om ockupation och krig har präglat bunkern sedan 1940-talet men att avlägsna bunkrarna från de danska stränder
As a response to a changing climate and a growing population that increases the current unsustainable, industrialisation of agriculture, sustainable agricultural practices have gained interest globally. Regenerative agriculture was first mentioned in the 1980s but didn’t gain interest until recently. The research around regenerative agriculture is limited, especially concerning the recent growing
Hyresgästen i ett lokalhyresförhållande har ett indirekt besittningsskydd. Detta skydd innebär bland annat att hyresgästen i vissa fall kan ha rätt till ersättning när hyresvärden säger upp hyresavtalet för villkorsändring. Hyresvärdens uppsägning för villkorsändring innebär att hyresvärden vill att det sker en förlängning av hyresavtalet, förutsatt att hyresgästen går med på att ändra av-talets vA tenant who leases a premise in Sweden has an indirect intent protected tenancy, which can give the tenant a right to compensation of damages when a notice of removal is given. A lease termination letter given by the landlord can be combined with a suggestion of extending the lease agreement but on other terms. In that case, it is required that the proposed contract terms are precisely stated. If
ABSTRACT Author: Fanny Andreasson and Karl Nilsson Title: The Bachelor of Science Programme in Social Work According to a Student Perspective – a Battle of Discourses Supervisor: Karin Kullberg Assessor: Elizabeth Martinell Barfoed The intention of this study was to examine what conceptions social work students perceive on how their social work education presents the profession of social worke
This project commences with a personal reflection. I, the author, find myself on the verge of completing my academic journey and embarking on the pursuit of an independent life. This involves securing employment and establishing a place to call home, with the ultimate goal of starting a family. However, upon exploring housing options in my home country, Iceland, it has become evident that this end
En ökande användning av ammonium genom samhälls- och industriell utveckling hotar utvatten runt om i världen. För att skydda det akvatiska ekosystemet och dricksvattenresurserna kan ammonium avlägsnas med biologisk behandling vid avloppsreningsverk. Utvecklingen av avloppsreningsverk under det senaste århundradet syftar till att implementera lösningar som är kostnads- och energieffektiva, har en lAn increasing usage of ammonium through societal and industrial development is threatening the water bodies around the world. To protect the aquatic ecosystem and drinking water resources, ammonium can be removed with biological treatment at wastewater treatment plants (WWTP). The development of WWTPs in the last century is aiming to implement solutions, which are cost and energy efficient, have a
Lagen (1988:609) om målsägandebiträde, vilken medger en rätt till biträde för brottsoffer som utsatts för särskilt allvarlig brottslighet, har varit en central lagstiftning för att stärka brottsoffrets intressen i rättsprocessen. Till följd av en lagreform som genomfördes år 2018 har dock rätten begränsats i högre rätt. Detta har i sin tur mötts av omfattande kritik med hänsyn till brottsoffrens iThe Act (1988:609) on Counsel for Injured Parties, which grants the right to counsel for victims of particularly serious crimes, has been a significant piece of legislation for strengthening the interests and rights of crime victims within the legal process. However, a legal reform enacted in 2018 has limited this right in higher courts. This has been met with extensive criticism concerning the in
An estimated 6% of human greenhouse gas emissions are the result of enteric methane production by cows. Asparagopsis taxiformis, a semi-tropical alga, is one solution. Supplementation of this alga to cows at a small percentage of their daily intake has reduced methane emissions by over 98% in trials. This success has led to multiple commercialization attempts globally, although no Asparagopsis tax
Bakgrund: På HVB (Hem för Vård eller Boende) hem bor individer i varierande åldrar med problematik såsom missbruk och psykiatriska diagnoser, där brist på struktur och meningsfull vardag ofta utgör ett hinder för utveckling. Tidigare forskning visar att aktiviteter är avgörande för att främja hälsa, delaktighet samt välmående, men det saknas forskning om hur placerade personer själva upplever akti
De svenska domstolarna runt om i landet mottar för varje år som går fler och fler antal tvistemål. Samtidigt som flödet accelererar har Domstolsverket slagit fast att processerna är långsamma och i behov av en effektivisering. Fram-ställningen syftar till att utreda hur processerna inom dispositiva tvistemål kan effektiviseras utan att rättssäkerheten går förlorad. För att svara på frågan stu-deraEvery year, courts across Sweden receive an increasing number of civil cases. Whilst the caseload is growing, the Swedish National Courts Administration has concluded that proceedings are slow and in need of streamlining. The aim of this paper is to investigate how proceedings in dispositive civil cases can be made more efficient without compromising legal certainty. To answer this question, effic

Clean water is an essentiality from both an individual and societal perspective. Legal actions enable the enforcement of the protection that the drinking water resource needs to protect the current but also the future supply of clean and sustainable water. Establishing water protection areas (WPA) is today the legal action that Swedish municipalities or county administration boards have at their d
Syftet med uppsatsen är att klarlägga hur det allmänna skyndsamhetskravet i 9 § första stycket FL ska tolkas vid IVO:s handläggning av enskildas klagomål på hälso- och sjukvården. Centralt för uppsatsen är spänningen mellan klagomålsärendenas förvaltningsrättsliga form, som medför krav på bland annat skyndsam handläggning med hänsyn till den enskildes intressen, och klagomålsfunktionens syfte inomThe purpose of this thesis is to clarify how the general requirement of prompt handling in the Swedish Administrative Procedure Act (förvaltningslagen) should be interpreted in relation to IVO’s handling of individual complaints regarding health care. Central to the thesis is the tension between the administrative law character of complaint cases, which entails requirements such as prompt handling
