Social work has been greatly affected by the corona pandemic. This can be seen in the area of domestic abuse, where social workers have had to adapt to an increase in domestic violence and victims who are now forced to isolate. This can be attributed to the restrictions the governments around the world have enforced on the populations to fight the pandemic. Since social workers are fundamental whe

Målet med den här rapporten var att undersöka möjligheten att vidare rena spillvattnet på Dows anläggning i Landskrona. Dow tillverkar vattenbaserade bindemedel från akryl monomerer. Spillvattnet innehåller metalliska joner, såpor, restmonomerer och restpolymerer. Idag så renas spillvattnet med ultrafiltrering (UF) där permeatet släpps iväg till det kommunala reningsverket för vidare rening. EfterThe aim of this report was to investigate the possibility of further cleaning of the wastewater at Dow in Landskrona. Dow produces water based adhesives from acrylic monomers. The wastewater contains different metal ions, surfactants, residual monomers and polymers. The wastewater at Dow is treated with ultrafiltration (UF) which produces a permeate that is sent to the municipal waste water treatm

Heterologous overexpression of proteins signifies that the encoding gene of a protein in one organism is expressed in another host organism that normally does not have that gene in its genome. In basic biochemical research, this is an important method for studying various protein functions such as activity and interactions in biological processes, as well as obtaining sufficient amounts to determi
The work as a social worker comes with a great responsibility when it comes to making decisions that may impact people's lives. The social worker has the opportunity to make a professional decision by using the information that has been provided from the clients. However, the social worker does not have the ability to make any decision based on their own preferences. They have the freedom of a
The purpose of this study is to examine the experiences of discrimination among disabled journalists. The background of our study is the growing interest within the media industry for newsroom diversity which aims at achieving better representation. Our definition of diversity includes people with disability in conformity with the Swedish discrimination law, which is accepted as standard within th
Det Svenska flerbostadshusbeståndet från åren 1945-1975 är på väg att nå slutet på sin tekniska livslängd. Byggnaderna från denna tidsperiod är i stort behov av renovering samt energieffektiviserande åtgärder för att minska energianvändningen och möjliggöra fortsatt användning av byggnaderna i framtiden, samtidigt som ekonomiskt utsatta personer har råd att bo kvar i byggnaderna. Dagens utmaning äThe Swedish apartment building stock from 1945-1975 is reaching the end of its technical life span. Renovations and energy efficiency measures are needed to reduce energy use and enable continued usage of the buildings in the future and still provide affordable housing to socioeconomic vulnerable groups. The problem today is that some building features, which are needed to estimate the renovation
Children that are born later in the year are, based on previous studies, more likely to be diagnosed with a neuropsychiatric disorder (hereby NPD), which is a bit surprising considering that NPDs are considered to be primarily genetic disorders. The aim of our study is to test the hypothesis that there is a correlation between being born later in the year and an increased prevalence of referrals f
Denna uppsats behandlar en nyligen avkunnad dom från Mark-och miljööverdomstolen. Rättsfallet som rör ett moderbolags miljöansvar för sitt helägda dotterbolags miljöskador är intressant både ur en miljö-och bolagsrättslig aspekt. Miljöansvaret faller primärt på verksamhetsutövaren och sekundärt på markägaren. Detta är reglerat i miljöbalken och har ägnats en hel del uppmärksamhet i praxis, förarbeThe present study deals with a recently delivered judgment from the Environmental court of appeal. The case deals with the issue of parent company liability for contamination, which is interesting from both an environmental and a company point of view. The environmental responsibility primarily lies on “the operator” and secondarily on the property owner. This is regulated in the Swedish environme
Klimatförändringarna är idag tydligt konstaterade. I den oerhört komplexa frågeställningen kring klimatfrågan kämpar världens stater om att enas för att begränsa klimatförändringarna och skadeverkningarna som kan komma att drabba ett stort antal människor redan de kommande decennierna. Att skapa marknader för handel med utsläppsrätter av växthusgaser har allt mer växt fram som ett styrmedel på oThere is little doubt that the world is facing a climate change. States around the world are struggling to reach an agreement on the complex issue to limit the changes to the climate and its consequences that threatens to impact large populations already in the coming centuries. Emission trading schemes for greenhouse gases has emerged as an increasingly used instrument in different locations ar
Under och efter katastrofer och nödsituationer samlas många olika organisationer för att hjälpa de drabbade. Det kan vara t.ex. polis, brandkår, sjukvård, eller elbolag som måste reparera ledningsnät. Vid större katastrofer kan myndigheter och internationella hjälporganisationer också behöva komma till undsättning. För att dessa organisationer ska kunna hjälpa till på ett effektivt sätt måste de hThis Master degree project identified disasters and emergencies as a global humanitarian and technological challenge. Emergency management organizations' need for access to accurate and up-to-date information about the emergency situation, to help respond to, recover from and mitigate the effects of disasters and emergencies, presents a challenge to the field of Geomatics. Today the use of re
In this thesis the encounter of the Catalan culture with the German culture at the Frankfurt Book Fair in 2007 is investigated. The leading research question is how the Catalan culture presented itself at the planned encounter with the German culture and how it was perceived by the latter. Semiotic analysis was conducted on the basis of newspaper articles from nine different newspapers analysing a
Virtual communities, including communities dedicated to consumption practices, were named one of the rising modern trends. With the technological development, nowadays, people do not need actual locations to meet for being friends because multiple blooming social networks allow people to stay connected 24/7 no matter where they are in this world. This technological development has many positive ef
VI Delimitations The company has several product families but only one is investigated in this project. There are today two main warehouses at the production site, the warehouse for raw material and the one for finished goods, where only the latter was studied. There are other places within the company where capital could be tied up as well, e.g. when products are being processed in a machine, but
Background Coronary artery disease is one of the most common causes of death. A common cardiac examination is to give a visualization of the myocardial blood flow by injecting a radio pharmaceutical and detect the radiation with a camera. The camera has for decades been using thallium doped sodium iodide (NaI(Tl)) as the detector material. New detector materials have been developed because of the
Popular science summary: Potential Distribution for the Endangered Asian Wild Ass Over the past century, large mammals have been globally under increasing pressure of humanized landscapes. Since extirpations of large herbivores are likely to have complicated consequences for the entire ecosystem, their conservation is a priority. With almost 81% threatened species, Perissodactyla (odd-toad ungu
Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) images are used to investigate the heart for medical and research purposes. By injecting a contrast substance into the patient, myocardial infarctions (heart attacks) can be visualized in CMR image sets consisting of a number of image slices at different levels of the heart. Analysis of these images can detect an infarction, delineate it and estimate its size. This
In a European collaborative research project a timber-glass shear wall element has been developed. This consists of a 10×1200×2400 mm thick glass pane of standard float glass with an LVL-frame adhesively bonded to the glass along its perimeter .In previous research several laboratory tests of these types of shear walls were performed. The tests, performed for various modes of loading, indicated th
