A section of the Swedish library act stipulates that libraries are to pay specific attention to people with disability. Exhaustion syndrome is a mental disability that in recent years has started to grow rapidly in numbers. This master thesis is mainly aiming to study whether public libraries are welcoming and functional places for people with exhaustion syndrome but it also has a wider scope stud
Statkraft is Europe’s largest renewable energy company, operating in 23 countries, and employs more than 3000 staff. The company generates and develops renewable energy in a broad range, hydropower, gas power, wind power, district heating and is one of the major players on the European power exchange Nord Pool. This thesis will primarily focus on assessing Statkraft’s potential and strategic compe
I Sverige utgör bygg- och rivningsavfall en tredjedel av landets totala avfall, exklusive gruvavfall, samtidigt som bygg och fastighetssektorn står för omkring en femtedel av växthusgasutsläppen nationellt. Eftersom byggnader blir mer och mer energieffektiva blir det alltmer intressant att beakta klimatavtrycket som materialet bidrar med. För att förebygga bygg- och rivningsavfall och underlätta In Sweden the building sector is responsible for a third of the waste generated yearly, with the exception of mining waste, whilst the building and property sector generates a fifth of the national greenhouse gas emissions. As buildings are getting more and more energy efficient it becomes increasingly important to investigate the climate footprint from the materials themselves. To prevent constru
I den internationella kontexten är arbetet med att ta fram åtgärder mot penningtvätt och finansiering av terrorism högt prioriterat. År 2015 antogs EU:s fjärde penningtvättsdirektiv på grundval av artikel 114 FEUF. Direktivet har som mål att skydda unionens finansiella system genom att förebygga, upptäcka och utreda penningtvätt och finansiering av terrorism genom användandet av ett riskbaserat föThe international efforts to develop anti-money laundering and terrorist financing measures are highly prioritized. By 2015, the Fourth European Anti Money Laundering Directive was adopted on the basis of Article 114 TFEU. The objective of the Directive is to protect the Union's financial system by preventing, detecting and investigating money laundering and terrorist financing through the use
Background Care of old people with multimorbidity living at home is often fragmented with lack of coordination and information exchange between health care professionals, the elderly and their relatives. This paper describes the protocol of a randomised, controlled study, which aims to compare the efficacy of caring for older people with multimorbidity and three or more hospital admissions in the
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the impact of exercise therapy on molecular biomarkers related to cartilage and inflammation in people at risk of, or with established, knee osteoarthritis by conducting a systematic review of randomized controlled trials (RCTs).METHODS: Literature search up to September 2017 in five major databases with no restriction on publication year or language. Data were extracted
Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI) provides a platform for spatial data sharing and is a key for sustainable development. Developing countries, including Tanzania, are at different stages of implementing SDIs. The importance and advantage of implementation lie in the fact that considerable funds can be saved by avoiding duplication of data, and improving quality of decisions making as well as publi
Climate change has the potential to alter hydrological regimes and to expand saturated areas in permafrost environments, which are important sources of organic carbon. The sources, transfer zones, and delivery mechanisms of carbon into the stream network are controlled by the morphometric properties of the catchment; however, the utility and limitations of these properties as predictors of dissolv
Drainage networks delineated from Digital Elevation Models (DEMs), are the basis for the modelling of geomorphological and hydrological processes, biogeochemical cycling, and water resources management. Besides providing effective models of water flows, automatically extracted drainage networks based on topography can diverge from reality to varying degrees. The variability of such disagreement wi
Subarctic ecosystems are predicted to experience the fastest responses to climate change on the planet, with dramatically altered vegetation patterns, frost dynamics and hydrological flow paths. The resulting change in dissolved organic carbon (DOC) export to river systems is poorly known, but reports of rising DOC in northern surface waters have led to widespread speculations on a possible climat
Climate change projections show that temperature and precipitation increases can alter the exchange of greenhouse gases between the atmosphere and high latitude landscapes, including their freshwaters. Dissolved organic carbon (DOC) plays an important role in greenhouse gas emissions, but the impact of catchment productivity on DOC release to subarctic waters remains poorly known, especially at re
Under de senaste åren har en doktorand ockuperat den akademiska ledningscentralen och skisserat ett antal renoveringar med mål att förändra premisserna för arbetet med breddad rekrytering av studenter från studieovana hem. Utgångpunkten för renoveringarna är att rikta blicken mot de villkor och strukturer, som ’de studieovana’ möter och istället för att fokusera på hur ’De’ ska anpassas till ’Oss’Over the past few years a Ph.D. student has occupied the academic command centre and sketched a number of renovations in order to change the university’s ongoing work to broaden the recruitment of students from homes with no study habit. The point of departure of the renovations is to direct attention to the terms and structures that people with backgrounds different than the academic norm are sup
Mixed findings have been made with regard to the long-term predictive validity of antisocial personality disorder (ASPD) on criminal behaviour in samples of substance abusers. A longitudinal record-linkage study of a cohort of 1052 drug abusers admitted 1977-1995 was undertaken. Subjects were recruited from a detoxification and short-term rehabilitation unit in Lund, Sweden, and followed through c
This thesis is an empirical and theoretical exploration of the surprising finding that people often may fail to notice dramatic mismatches between what they want and what they get, a phenomenon my collaborators and I have named choice blindness. The thesis consists of four co-authored papers, dealing with different aspects of the phenomenon. Paper one presents an initial set of studies using a co
Popular Abstract in Swedish I mer än tre årtionden har kvinnors situation och främjandet av jämställdhet mellan kvinnor och män lyfts fram inom utvecklingssamarbetet. Bilaterala organisationer har gjort politiska åtaganden och utvecklat strategier, metoder och instrument för att uppnå detta viktiga mål. Som uppföljning på FNs fjärde kvinnokonferens i Peking (1995) är det viktigt att analysera vad Gender equality has been on the development cooperation agenda for more than three decades. Bilateral agencies have developed policies, strategies, methodologies and tools to support achievement of this important goal. Following the Fourth United Nations Conference on Women in Beijing in 1995 it is important to take stock of the progress that has been made, and identify the changes needed for movi
Type III protein S deficiency is characterized by a low plasma level of free protein S, whereas the total concentration of protein S is normal. In contrast, both free and total protein S levels are low in type I deficiency. To elucidate the molecular mechanism behind the selective deficiency of free protein S in type III deficiency, the relationship between the plasma concentrations of β-chain con
Background: Pay-for-performance (P4P) has been widely used in healthcare, but there are few experiences of hospital-based P4P at scale. The evidence of impact from these has been mixed, and there has been increased recognition of the importance of different contexts, designs, incentives and other factors. In 2014, the Lebanese Ministry of Public Health integrated a P4P model for determining hospit
