This thesis is about the overlooked workload nurses’ hands are daily exposed to. This workload is made up of small tasks, seemingly requiring small efforts that together and over time can cause considerable muscle wear. A large number of these tasks consist of opening packages constructed to ensure that the products are sterile. In this study, the effects these packages have on the users were exam
Recurring statistics in the media, which describes adolescent mental illness as a growing problem in the Swedish society gave rise to an interest to pursue a research which sought to explore how young people's mental illness is constructed as a social problem. The media appears to be important in the construction of a social problem, as they through claims-making current the putative condition
Transnationella företag anses idag generellt sett inte vara folkrättsligt skyldiga att respektera mänskliga rättigheter. I stater där det nationella skyddet av mänskliga rättigheter brister tillåts således företag begå kränkningar av mänskliga rättigheter utan att träffas av juridiska sanktioner. Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka om en traktat som direkt gör transnationella företag folkrätTransnational corporations are today in general not considered to be obligated under international law to respect human rights. In states where the protection of human rights through national law is weak corporations thus may violate human rights without risking becoming subjects to legal santioncs. The purpose of this study is to investigate whether or not the conclusion of a treaty that obligate
The aim of this master thesis is to conclude how the energy systems of smart cities can be designed to achieve an annual net-zero energy consumption. The study investigated different techniques that can be used for producing and storing energy locally. This was implemented on a planned residential project located in Veberöd, south of Scania. Hence, the heating and domestic hot water demand were ba
Water scarcity can have severe implications for society; endangering human health and food security whilst also exacerbating social conflict around the world. These issues are exemplified in the case of the Ferghana Valley in Central Asia, where much of the valley suffers from water scarcity and conflicts despite having adequate water sources. This scarcity is primarily due to how water is used, m
In order for semiconductor materials to be suitable for implementation in new and progressive devices they have to be of better electronic characteristics than currently used materials, and maintain these once treated and put into action. It is important to verify that bulk characteristics are not hindered at the surface when a given semiconductor is put in contact with another material due to nec
Background Depressive disorders, specifically major depressive disorder (MDD), is predicted to become the leading cause of disease burden worldwide by 2030. In the United States, MDD is already the leading cause of disability. Yet, less than 50 percent of US adults diagnosed with a mental disorder seek treatment, often due to lack of health coverage or affordability. In 2014, the Affordable Care A
Insect monitoring has earlier been a manual, tedious and time consuming task that is impossible to do in real time. Thus there exists a need for a real time automatic insect monitoring system for counting and classifying insect for use in scientific research and pesticide spraying control. One approach to automatize this is using LIDAR to detect insects. In this thesis it has been explored how to d
Knowledge acquired through ecosystem service valuations can provide valuable information to stakeholders making land-use decisions. Effective use of ecosystem service valuation knowledge with a cost-benefit analysis can create resilient social-ecological systems. There is an increasing number of valuations being conducted, yet only one third of the studies are thought to be used in some form to ai
Avtalsfrihet och rätt till domstolsprövning inskränks i svensk rätt genom principen om pactum turpe. Det innebär att avtal som strider mot lag eller goda seder inte anses förtjäna rättsordningens skydd. Avtalsrättsliga ogiltighetsregler syftar många gånger till att skydda den svagare parten i avtalsrelationen, medan pactum turpe civilprocessrättsligt syftar till att skydda samhällets moraluppfattnThe freedom of contract and the right to judicial review are restricted by Swedish law through pactum turpe. This means that agreements contrary to law or good practice are not considered to merit legal protection. The purpose of contractual invalidity aims to protect the weaker party in the contractual relationship, while the principle of pactum turpe aims to protect the moral perception of the s
What's the point of a back cover? When converting an initially printed book into a digital format, the front cover is almost always included in the electronic file, the back cover however, is not. The aim of this thesis is to examine the back covers of picturebooks, based on what function they serve in relation to the work, as well as to intermediaries and readers of the work. With the theoret
A new setup for versatile ion time-of-flight coincidence spectroscopy was built using a pre-existing negative ion time-of-flight spectrometer aligned with a short extension that may be used to detect photons, Auger electrons or positive ions. The extension was designed to be short to improve detection of photons, as they do not have a preferred direction for their emission, and high-momentum parti
This paper presents a stabilized incompressible smoothed particle hydrodynamics (ISPH) method to simultaneously simulate surface and seepage flow. The Navier-Stokes type equation, which manipulates the linear and nonlinear resistance effects caused from porous materials, are employed for tracking fluid motions in porous medium. The SPH method is one of the mesh-less particle methods and its Lagran
Genom reformen en modernare rättegång gjordes möjligheten för parter att närvara vid domstolssammanträden via ljud- och/eller bildöverföring permanent. Användningen av sådana lösningar har ökat under de senaste åren och accelererades av covid-19-pandemin. I experimentell miljö har det återkommande observerats att vittnens och målsägandes utsagor uppfattas som mindre tillförlitliga om de presenterThrough the reform en modernare rättegång [a more modern trial] the possibility for parties to attend court hearings via video and/or audio was made permanent. The use of such solutions has increased over the last years and was accelerated by the covid-19 pandemic. In experimental settings it has repeatedly been observed that witnesses’ and complainants’ testimonies are perceived as less credibl
Rekvisitet verksam i betydande omfattning återfinns i 57 kap 4 § inkomstskattelagen.

Det blir allt vanligare att människor flyttar mellan länder för att bo, studera, arbeta eller leva som pensionär. Till en persons hemvist knyts allt fler rättigheter och skyldigheter i samhället vilket skapar ett ökat behov för individen och staten att kunna fastställa var en person har sin hemvist. Idag finns ingen enhetlig tolkning av hemvistbegreppet. En persons hemvist kan därför variera mellaToday it is common for people to move across borders to live, study, work or retire. A person’s residence is linked to an increasing number of rights and obligations in society, which creates an increased need for both the individual and the state to determine where a person has its residence in different situations. Today there is no uniform interpretation of the concept. Where a person is consid
Numerous broad insights have emerged in the last decades concerning the invasive non-indigenous round goby (Neogobius melanostomus) and its expanding presence in the Baltic Sea. The waters surrounding the Danish isles are the final frontiers separating the Baltic Sea from the North Sea, and although they offer highly favourable habitats, the biotic resistance in Öresund by native competitors might
Under de senaste åren har ett antal fall av hets till självmord på internet och sociala medier uppmärksammats såväl nationellt som internationellt. Under våren år 2018 rapporterade medier i Sverige om ett svenskt fall där en polisman givit en ung kvinna instruktioner via sms om hur hon bäst skulle begå självmord. Eftersom självmord och självmordsförsök inte är kriminaliserat blir medverkansreglernIn recent years, a number of cases of incitement to suicide on the internet and social media have been highlighted both nationally and internationally. In spring 2018, media reported on a Swedish case where a policeman gave a young woman instructions through text messages about how to best commit suicide. Since suicide and suicide attempts are not criminalized, the rules of complicity are not appl
