Sweden is in a period of change in its establishment of a new welfare system. One of the main reasons is the political power shift from social democratic welfare regime to liberal welfare regime. This change involves, among others, a restructuring of the relationship regarding responsibility in the social welfare, between the public, private and non-government sectors. This is due to how different
Since the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991, the relation between the European Union and the Russian federation has been stressed. The Russian leadership has been severely criticised by the EU for intentionally hampering Russia’s democratic development, an issue that affects the relationship between the two parties. At the same time, the EU imports approximately 36 % of its natural gas from Russia,
Psykiatriska diagnoser är idag fler än någonsin, berör ett stort antal människor och är genom olika processer i ständig förändring. Syftet med denna studie, som är en diskursanalys, är att undersöka på vilka sätt och inom vilka diskurser psykiatriska diagnoser kan konstrueras. Materialet består av intervjuer med tre grupper; personer som själva har Aspergers syndrom, personer som har barn med AspePsychiatric diagnoses are plentiful in numbers. They affect a large number of people and they are in a constant line of development. The purpose of this discourse analysis is to examine in which ways a psychiatric diagnosis may be constructed according to various discourses. Interviews were held with individuals diagnosed with Asperger Syndrome, parents of individuals with Asperger Syndrome and pr
In recent years, there has been a rising global need to train and educate certain number of workers to possess high-quality, relevant vocational skills which leads to an enormous increase in the demand for vocational education and training (VET). This thesis is dedicated to analyze and compare the competitiveness of the VET system of China and Sweden qualitatively and quantitatively and then gives
I dagens kunskapssamhälle så ökar arbetsgivarens behov av att binda arbetstagare med särskilda kompetenser då de är så kallade nyckelmedarbetare. I vissa fall kan hela bolagets värde utgöras av arbetstagarna. Därför ökar också användandet av konkurrensklausuler. Normalt sätt så tar den sikte på arbetstagarens förehavanden efter det att denne har lämnat sin anställning. Men för de allra flesta så hThe necessity is high for employers to keep employees with particular skills in today's knowledge-based society. In some cases, the entire value of the company is based on the skills of the employees. Therefore there is also an increase in the use of non-competition clauses. Normally, it effects the employee’s actions after the employment relationship is terminated. For most people, it has als
Rapporten undersöker begreppet gemensamma servitut. Det övergripande målet är att upplysa om de gemensamma servitutens existens och klargöra under vilka premisser de får och kan bildas. Viktiga frågeställningar blir: vad de är, hur de går att bilda, hur de registreras och hur vanligt förekommande de är. Gemensamma servitut omfattas av samma förvaltningsregler som gemensamhetsanläggningar. En frågaThe thesis aims to examine and define the concept of common easements in Swedish real property law. The overall goal is to highlight their very existence, and the conditions for their formation. In order to achieve this goal, material has been collected and examined; mainly from legislative sources and doctrine. The thesis concludes that a common easement is an easement with two or more dominant e
After reviewing basic concepts and tools in order to quantify entanglement, a theoretical set up is proposed, which is based on the double slit experiment and the Mach-Zehnder interferometer. A particle, which is in a superposition of two paths, can interfere with a qubit on each path before it is scattered by a beam splitter and measured by two separate detectors. After a detailed investigation,
This volume positions itself on the cutting edge of two fields in psychology that enjoy rapidly increasing attention: both the study of human lives and some core domains of such lives as religion and spirituality are high on the agenda of current research and teaching. Biographies and autobiographies are being approached in new ways and have become central to the study of human lives as an object
We investigate methods for detection of rapid workload increases (load spikes) for cloud workloads. Such rapid and unexpected workload spikes are a main cause for poor performance or even crashing applications as the allocated cloud resources become insufficient. To detect the spikes early is fundamental to perform corrective management actions, like allocating additional resources, before the spi
A Nordic-Soviet programme was initiated in 1990 to evaluate the external and internal radiation exposure of the inhabitants of several villages in the Bryansk region of Russia. This area was one of the number of areas particularly affected by the nuclear accident at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in 1986. Measurements were carried out yearly until 1998 and after that more irregularly; in 2000,
BACKGROUND: Early age at first full-term pregnancy and increasing parity are associated with a reduced risk of breast cancer. However, whether pregnancy decreases the risk of early-onset hereditary breast cancer is unknown. There is concern that pregnancy may increase breast-cancer risk in carriers of BRCA1 and BRCA2 germline mutations. We aimed to establish whether pregnancy is a risk factor for
Caudate nucleus dopamine (DA) D-2 receptors were studied in patients with vascular dementia (VaD) and in a control group using [H-3]raclopride as a radioligand. There was no significant difference in the number of DA D-2 receptors in the VaD group as compared with controls. The binding affinity was significantly lower in the VaD group. When the VaD group was subdivided into subjects with or withou
In this paper, we present a novel approach for the design of rate-maximizing channel shortening detectors with soft feedback side information for frequency-selective channels. The detector is a soft-input soft-output detector and constitutes one of the components of an iterative receiver. The design optimization is performed from an information-theoretic perspective where we maximize the achievabl
The FIR function of the proposed filter is realized by integrating weighted signal currents in a given time window on a capacitor The input signal voltage is weighted into multiple voltages according to the FIR requirement through a resistor ladder. A switching network sequentially connects the weighted voltages to a linear transconductor which converts the voltage to current and charges the capac
We study a concept for a low-cost, large deformable mirror for an Extremely Large Telescope. The use of inexpensive voice-coil actuators leads to a poorly damped faceplate, with many modes within the desired control bandwidth. A control architecture, including rate and position feedback to add damping and stiffness, for the faceplate has been presented in our previous papers. An innovative local c
