In the beginning of the 1990’s community service was introduced at a couple of Swedish courts as an experiment. It was to be a compliment to probation and together the two were supposed to be considered the equivalent in harshness of a shorter prison sentence. After a few years the experiment was extended to all Swedish courts and by the end of the decade community service was made a permanent par
The objective of this thesis is to investigate performance for dierent investment alternatives for an investor wanting to track a multidimensional stock index. Performance is measured in terms of transaction cost, active return against the index and tracking error. The problem is approached by comparing performance for a full replication strategy against a strategy in which the traded portfolio is
This master’s thesis analysed sustainable development policies in China’s 11th Five-Year Plan and sustainable development considerations at the building of the Bui Dam in Ghana. The theory section discusses and defines sustainable development, and in the method section, ‘ideal-types’ of economic, social and environmental development were developed. These ideal-types were then used as reference poi
BACKGROUND: Low back pain (LBP) is a burdensome problem affecting amateur cyclists. This cross-sectional study analysed Italian amateur cycling cohort's demographic and sport-specific characteristics, the prevalence and characteristics of LBP among this population, its possible association factors, the management strategies adopted to deal with LBP and the sample's beliefs among possible LBP trigg
In this paper we present a novel algorithm for onboard radial distortion correction for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) equipped with an inertial measurement unit (IMU), that runs in real-time. This approach makes calibration procedures redundant, thus allowing for exchange of optics extemporaneously. By utilizing the IMU data, the cameras can be aligned with the gravity direction. This allows us
Parkinson's disease (PD) is characterized by rigidity, akinesia, postural instability and tremor. Deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the subthalamic nucleus (STN) reduces tremor but the effects on postural instability are inconsistent. Another component of postural control is the postural strategy, traditionally referred to as the ankle or hip strategy, which is determined by the coupling between the
Children’s right to involvement in practices that address their well-being is frequently highlighted, yet how children exercise involvement in face-to-face encounters has remained fairly unknown. To fulfil our aim of identifying, describing and defining children’s involvement, we conducted an inductive microanalysis of face-to-face dialogue on audiovisual recordings of naturally occurring therapy Children’s right to involvement in practices that address their well-being is frequently highlighted, yet how children exercise involvement in face-to-face encounters has remained fairly unknown.

Since 1st of June 2016, an amortisation requirement in Sweden applies, which means that new mortgages will be amortised to 50 percent of the value of the housing price. This was introduced when the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority (Finansinspektionen) considered that there was a need to dampen the aggregated debt in Sweden and the purpose of the requirement was to increase household resista
17 kap. 10 § LOU stadgar att ett kontrakt eller ramavtal får ändras i enlighet med en ändrings- eller optionsklausul utan att en ny upphandling måste genomföras, om kontraktets eller ramavtalets övergripande karaktär inte ändras, om klausulen har angetts i något av upphandlingsdokumenten och klart, exakt och entydigt beskriver under vilka förutsättningar den kan tillämpas. Vidare ska klausulen äve
This thesis examines how residential buildings from different construction periods perform during extended outages of heating, electricity, and ventilation. The purpose was to evaluate building robustness during crisis or war situations and identify technical measures that may improve building resilience. The study combined literature review with engineering calculations related to heat retention,
This thesis investigates how analyst coverage and blockholder ownership shape the informativeness of insider purchases in a market characterized by concentrated ownership, dispersed analyst coverage, and high retail participation. While prior research has established a negative relationship between analyst coverage and insider purchase abnormal returns in the U.S., whether this relationship genera

Problem i tarmfloran påverkar sjukdomar, bland andra autoimmun (typ 1) diabetes.Avföringsprover från 90 spädbarn med hög risk att få autoimmun diabetes, men som inte hade någon autoantikropp, undersöktes med avseende på bakterieflora.Tarmfloran hos barn på båda kontinenter delar vissa egenskaper. I Finland och Colorado ses lägre mångfald av bakterier. I Sverige och Washington dominerar bifidobakte
BackgroundFunctional MRI (fMRI) is a non-invasive technique for the study of brain function that utilizes changes in blood flow and volume accompanying brain activation. When neuronal activation occurs, local blood flow increases, leading to an increase in oxygenated blood. The different magnetic properties of oxygenated and deoxygenated blood yields signal changes in the MRI images. This effect i
