The goal of this paper is to examine the relationship between democracy and socio-economic development in Argentina. Argentina was chosen due to its dynamic political history, and because economically it is a unique country, having faced strong economic decline last century. The literature on democracy shows that the level of democracy should not matter for economic development, whereas the durabi
Bakgrund: Barn ska få vara delaktiga och få anpassat stöd för att uttrycka sig i sin intervention. Barn med autismspektrumdiagnos (ASD) har ofta en annorlunda sensorisk process, vilket kan påverka delaktighet i aktiviteter. Det saknas information kring hur arbetsterapeuter samkonstruerar med barnet som klient i interventioner. Syfte: Att undersöka hur arbetsterapeuters samkonstruktion sker med barBackground: Children must receive tailored support to participate and express themselves in their care. Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) commonly have a different sensory process, which can affect participation in activities. There is a lack of information regarding how occupational therapists collaborate with children as clients in interventions. Purpose: To investigate how occupation
This study investigates the relationship between environmental and social (ES) performance and firm performance, while also exploring the potential moderating effects of government ownership and CEO duality. Adopting a quantitative approach, fixed effects panel regressions are employed to analyze the relationships based on previous empirical literature and theoretical perspectives, including agenc
This paper investigates the correlation between Sweden's municipal equalization system and economic growth and efficiency for the years 2005 to 2022. This paper uses panel data for all 290 municipalities and a fixed effects model to study the two main parts of Sweden's municipal equalization system: the income equalization system and the cost equalization system. This paper examines multip
Sverige är ett land rikt på vattenkraft, både från inlandssjöar men även från våra många vattendrag. Det har därför sedan länge varit en naturlig del av vår nationella kraftförsörjning, och innan elektriciteten var det ett av våra bästa verktyg när det kom till tunga arbetsuppgifter som att driva benstampar eller mala säd till mjöl. Våra vattendrag är därför fulla av gamla vattenkvarnar och dammarThis thesis investigates the complex challenges arising from the recent reviews of permits for dams in Sweden, focusing on the crucial aspect of water resource disposition and its implications for property rights. By examining relevant literature, legal cases, and conducting interviews with professionals, this study uncovers patterns and potential solutions to address the issues at hand. The findi
This thesis focuses on the practice of sex for compensation performed by women with transgender and asylum experiences living in Sweden. It aims to explore the complexities of sex for compensation by positioning this practice as both strategy and a tactic for obtaining income used for gender affirmation, considering that gender-affirmative healthcare is not available for asylum seekers in Sweden.
Att leva med en cervikal ryggmärgsskada innebär många begränsningar i vardagen, inte minst när det gäller något så simpelt som att greppa ett objekt. Personer med cervikal ryggmärgsskada kan modifiera eller använda speciellt anpassade vardagsföremål för att göra det enklare att greppa dem. Det är viktigt att anpassa föremålen utifrån individens förmågor och begränsningar. Tendo är ett företag som Living with a cervical spinal cord injury entails many limitations in everyday life, not least when it comes to something as simple as gripping an object. Individuals with a cervical spinal cord injury can modify or use specially adapted everyday objects to make gripping them easier. It is important to customize the objects based on the individual's abilities and limitations. Tendo is a compan
The circulating fluidised bed boiler (CFB) consists of developing the combustion of a mass of fuel, in this case biomass, within a bed of particles in suspension, which have been fluidised by an ascending air current. Combustion occurs in a controlled manner throughout the entire furnace at temperatures around 850 ºC, which is lower than in conventional boilers, reducing NOx emissions. However, NO
The purpose of this study was to analyze hospital social workers experiences of asking patients and relatives about violence within the family. This study was based on a qualitative research design where we interviewed six hospital social workers at two children's hospitals located in the southern part of Sweden. We analyzed the collected data with selected theoretical perspectives about profe
BACKGROUND: End-to-side nerve repair is attachment of a single distal nerve segment (recipient nerve) end-to-side to an intact donor nerve when there is a lack of proximal nerve segment after injury. The technique is currently used clinically but the mechanism(s) behind this technique are essentially unknown. METHODS: We have studied end-to-side nerve repair in the forelimb of rats, where a single
Elater ferrugineus is a threatened click beetle inhabiting old hollow trees. Its larvae consume larvae of other saproxylic insects including the threatened scarab beetle Osmoderma eremita. Recently, (R)-(+)-gamma-decalactone was identified as a male-produced sex pheromone of O. eremita. Here we present evidence that E. ferrugineus adults use this odor as a kairomone for location of their prey. In
Modulation of vascular smooth muscle cells from a contractile to a synthetic phenotype is thought to be important in the development of the atherosclerotic lesion. Such modulation depends on growth factors and is influenced by cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions. Whereas smooth muscle cells in the vessel wall are contractile, dispersed cells in culture rapidly modulate to synthetic phenotype, w
