Abstract The aim of this research was to peruse the verdicts of custody disputes were violence against the mother has occurred. In 2005, a study by Barnombudsmannen presented a result that showed that 43 % of custody disputes were domestic violence occurred was convicted joint custody. The result leaded to a restriction of Swedish family law in 2006. This study therefor aims to examine how the cou

Young girls and boys in Sweden can be ordered to compulsory care by the Administrative court if they are in psychosocially problematic situations. The purpose of our paper was to analyze how the socially destructive behavior of girls and boys was constructed in verdicts made by judges at the Administrative court. With a qualitative textual analysis we analyzed what kind of acts and social situatio

A sample of 107 asset sales completed globally from October 2006 to January 2019 has been investigated to find the average discount at which the assets of distressed energy companies are liquidated. In the next step, the difference in difference approach has been used to explore the oil price crash in the fourth quarter of 2014 so as to find the difference in the average discount on the assets of

An inverse class D power amplifier and a class A power amplifier are designed at schematic level for 20 dBm power class and NB-IoT specification in 65 nm CMOS technology. A suitable switch mode supply modulator is also designed. Three different efficiency enhancement techniques namely EER, Hybrid EER and ET are studied and the suitable transmitters are simulated for each in Cadence Virtuoso. These

The exponential-6 (exp-6) potential is an intermolecular pair potential that is widely used to model fluids at high densities. The path from molecular interaction to equation of state (EOS) for a gas is not straightforward however. Monte Carlo methods and molecular dynamics give accurate results but are too slow for demanding applications like detonation modelling or numerical simulations of react

The process of globalisation, accompanied by sustainable development considerations, has turned the spotlight on ties between states’ trade interests and their commitment to upholding labour rights. With negotiations on connecting the existent multilateral trading framework to the labour rights perspective at an impasse, major world economies have introduced alternative ways of linking labour conc

“Between the tracks” builds upon the concept of reclaiming a brownfield. It explores what can happen when industrial activity vacates valuable land in the city center. Through urban recycling, the project unlocks the value of an underutilized railyard and reimagines the last, such a large, and free area in the center of Gdynia in Poland. In 1926, when the first plan of Gdynia was created, the mai

Inadequate water infrastructural development and high costs of water are few of the many challenges that affect water access in Kibera. Consequently, many alternatives to piped water grew out of necessity to meet the needs of residents. The aim of this thesis is to examine the conditions that have led to poor water provision in Kibera and how transitions to improved water access can be achieved by

Author: Ebba Eiroff Title: Students narratives of loneliness Supervisor: Kristina Göransson Assessor: Mats Hilte The aim for this qualitative study was to examine university students experiences of loneliness based on Erving Goffman’s dramaturgy theory, together with the conceptions of normality, shame and guilt. How students describe feelings of loneliness and how they relate their experiences t

A closely-packed ultrawideband (UWB) multiple- input multiple-output (MIMO)/diversity antenna (of two elements) with a size of 25 mm by 40 mm is proposed for USB dongle applications. Wideband isolation can be achieved through the different patterns and polarizations of the two antenna elements. Moreover, the slot that is formed between the monopole and the ground plane of the half slot antenna is

Popular Abstract in Swedish Det är känt att kvalitén på inomhusluften har en avgörande betydelse för folkhälsan bla avseende astma, eksem samt luftvägsinfektioner. Detta är ett för samhället mycket kostsamt problem. I avhandlingen har studerats vissa luftföroreningar inomhus som kan bli följden av att en byggnad drabbats av fuktskada. När fukt påverkar byggnadsmaterial frigörs och bildas en rad oUnsatisfactory indoor air quality (IAQ) may result from polluting emissions that are spread from building materials such as volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and/or microbial components or from various kinds of human activity such as smoking. Different methods are available to limit the exposure to unwanted pollutants and improve human wellbeing and health. One goal of this thesis was to determine

Background and purpose The remodeling of morselized bone grafts in revision surgery can be enhanced by an anabolic substance such as a bone morphogenetic protein (BMP). On the other hand, BMPs boost catabolism and might cause a premature resorption, both of the graft and of the new-formed bone. Bisphosphonates inactivate osteoclasts and can be used to control the resorption. We studied a combinati

CO(2)-laser C-fibre evoked cortical potentials (LCEPs) is a potentially useful animal model for studies of pain mechanisms. A potential confounding factor when assessing analgesic effects of systemically administered drugs using LCEP is sedation. This study aims to clarify: 1) the relation between level of anaesthesia and magnitude of LCEP, 2) the effects of a sedative and an analgesic on LCEP and

In this overview the technique of accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) and its use are described. AMS is a highly sensitive method of counting atoms. It is used to detect very low concentrations of natural isotopic abundances (typically in the range between 10(-12) and 10(-16)) of both radionuclides and stable nuclides. The main advantages of AMS compared to conventional radiometric methods are the

We present a microgeographic analysis of 34 allozyme loci and the control region of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) in the common vole Microtus arvalis (Pallas, 1779), performed to assess the effects of environmental heterogeneity on the distribution of genetic variation among populations in the Biebrza river valley, NE Poland The common vole occurs there in two types of habitat open grassland and pastu

Objectives: To assess the relationships of somatic and anxiety symptoms of depression with functional disability in a sample of older adults with late life depression. Method: Data were analyzed from 78 older adults aged 65–88 with current major depression. Somatic and anxiety symptoms from the 24-item Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HDRS) were summed to create variables measuring severity of th

Nickel phosphide is a valuable material in high-temperature brazing and joining applications, offering excellent thermal stability for temperatures up to 400°C. Nickel phosphide is used as powder form for joining applications and therefore it is imperative to study the formation as well as interaction of Ni2P particles with Brazing with nickel-chromium-based fillers is widely used to join stainles
