Commentary on Article 2 of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities

In this paper, the investment in new desalination capacity, expressed as daily production capacity, was studied as a function of oil production and population increase for a large group of countries for the last 25 years. These countries were selected for their large desalination production and Sweden presented as reference. Oil production correlated well with investments in new desalination capac

When Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) is used in clinical studies, statistical hypothesis testing is the standard approach to establish significant differences between groups, such as patients and healthy controls. However, diffusion tensors contain six degrees of freedom, and the most commonly used univariate tests reduce them to a single scalar, such as Fractional Anisotropy. Multivariate tests th

Background: Managing acute abdominal pain in the large and growing population of Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB)–operated patients poses a challenge to general surgeons, because of diagnostic limitations and the risk of internal herniation. Objective: To investigate the diagnoses, management, and outcome of RYGB patients admitted for acute abdominal pain. Setting: University Hospital, Sweden. Meth

Zoegas kaffe skapade kaffesorten Maria Zoega, som lanserades i slutet av september 2018. Detta kaffe var en direkt följd av företagets samverkan med projektet "Normkritiska perspektiv på lokal historia" där det under projektets försorg togs fram ny information som visade på Maria Zoegas betydelse för kaffeföretaget. Denna information ledde till att företagets historia skrevs om, att det lanserades

Contaminated ground is a severe problem which is present in many countries, and it is of great importance to find efficient solutions to deal with it. In Sweden, there is a trend in the industry to move towards alternate remediation methods and on that scope in-situ bioremediation has received a lot of attention. The main challenge with in-situ bioremediation is to verify that the treatment has th

Tidigare forskning har visat att patienter inom vuxenpsykiatrisk vård utsätts för kränkningar av vårdpersonal, där dehumanisering och stigmatisering av psykisk sjukdom ses som bidragande faktorer. Denna studie ämnade undersöka om det fanns skillnader mellan anmälningar till Inspektionen för vård och omsorg (IVO) rörande kränkande bemötande jämfört med anmälningar rörande andra bemötandebrister, utPrevious research has shown that patients in adult psychiatric care are subject to abuse by healthcare staff, where dehumanization and stigmatization of mental illness are seen as contributing factors. This study aimed to investigate whether there were differences between reports to the Health and Social Care Inspectorate (IVO) concerning abusive treatment compared to reports concerning other trea

Education is seen as a human right and a crucial aspect for enabling movements through the societal hierarchy, making it an important issue to study. The purpose of this thesis is to further examine how much the educational gap by parental education and social class has changed in the United Kingdom between 1970 and now. The analysis also explores heterogeneity by gender and region. The analysis i

Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka hur employer branding kan fungera som ett verktyg i syfte att attrahera IT-studenter som ska bli framtida unga IT-talanger. Detta kommer att besvaras med hjälp av fallstudie på ett svenskt IT-företag, i uppsatsen kommer vi att anta ett företagsperspektiv. Genom dokumentstudier och fyra stycken semistrukturerade intervjuer med anställda på IKEA IT har vi utvec

Following the successful first Urban Sound Symposium held at Ghent University in 2019, the second edition in 2021 had to face the challenges of the pandemic. The symposium turned this challenge into an opportunity for giving easier access to practitioners and experts from around the globe who are confronted with urban sound in their professional activities. It was organized simultaneously in Ghent

Internal crisis communication has long been undervalued compared to external communication, both in research and practice. Traditionally treated as a secondary, information‑driven activity, it is now gaining increased attention. Effective internal crisis communication is crucial not only for managing crises, but also for preventing secondary communication crises, supporting organizational learning

There are fungi whose delectability and even whose shift from toxicity to edibility depends on preparation in the kitchen. The milkcaps Lactarius rufus and Lactarius trivialis and the false morel Gyromitra esculenta are three such mushrooms. The former two will burn your tongue if nibbled raw, and may bring on stomach-ache if not boiled prior to further cooking. The latter could kill you if it is

We investigate how the anchoring effect—a well-established cognitive bias—influences the full distribution of subjective beliefs. While prior research extensively examines the impact of anchoring and other biases on point estimates, their effect on higher moments of the distribution remains unexplored. Through a pre-registered online experiment (N=732), we find that anchoring impacts the mean, var

Today the importance of epistolary networks for intellectuals in early modern Europe is well appreciated. Nevertheless, connections reaching outside the canon of celebrated humanists and scientists in the Republic of Letters are little studied. This article examines how Charles de Bovelles (1479-1567) used letters to establish a philosophical persona and publicize his contemplative approach to nat

The building sector accounts for a significant portion of global final energy use and greenhouse gas emissions, demonstrating the need to find low-carbon alternatives to new construction. Adaptive reuse offers a sustainable alternative to new construction, yet early-stage assessments of reuse potential often rely on surface-level metrics, failing to consider a building's internal spatial logic.
