Internet access has been a part of the range in public libraries for approximately a decade. The Swedish municipals, in charge of the public libraries, and the libraries themselves, have a great deal of saying in how they should be run, what to offer the public, how many hours they have to stay open etcetera. The Library law is very vague on many things, including public Internet access. Even thou
This Master's thesis aims to investigate librarians' identity construction through the study of their narratives about themselves and their lives. We want to understand in what way the education in Library- and Information science contributes to shape the students professional identity and how these identities then continue to be transformed when they enter their professional lives. We ass
The purpose of this study was to examine how the personnel of the Employment Office in Malmoe interpret the emotional situation and health of unemployed individuals. We also wanted to examine if and how the personnel work with these aspects. In relation to this we found it very interesting how the personnel dealt with the responsibilities of power, hierarchy and how subordination afflicts the unem
The global music market is huge. Record companies make their money by exploiting the copyright in the music and lyrics of artists signed to their labels. Now the music industry is taking its first tentative steps into cyberspace and at stake is a potentially lucrative method of distributing music in a new way. First, however, significant difficulties need to be overcome, not the least concerning t
Today, every new building is constructed with the ambition of it having a very low energy demand or even being completely neutral with regard to supply and demand over a year. In modern low energy or nearly zero energy residential buildings like these, the behaviour of the occupants becomes increasingly more significant in terms of the energy performance of the building. Occupants who are present
Introduction: Termination of resuscitation guidelines for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest can identify patients in whom continuing resuscitation has little chance of success. This study examined the outcomes of patients transferred to hospital with ongoing CPR. It assessed outcomes for those who would have met the universal prehospital termination of resuscitation criteria (no shocks administered,
Denna studie syftade till att evaluera och undersöka eventuell förändring i psykologisk symtomnivå samt klienttillfredsställelse hos klienter som behandlats med kognitiv beteendeterapi eller psykodynamisk terapi på en utbildningsmottagning för blivande psykologer. Studien syftade även till att undersöka eventuella skillnader i resultatet mellan klienter i kognitiv beteendeterapi och psykodynamisk This study aimed to investigate and evaluate change in psychological symptom levels and client satisfaction in clients treated with cognitive behavioral therapy or psychodynamic psychotherapy at a training clinic for prospective psychologists. The study also aimed to examine possible differences in outcome between clients in cognitive-behavioral therapy and psychodynamic therapy, and to examine wh
This report contains papers presented at a Research Seminar , or rather "workshop", organised by our Department. It is the third in a series. The previous seminars were held in 1993 and 19961• The seminar is "Nordic", by which is meant that the speakers came from the Scandinavian countries -Demnark, Norway, Sweden- and Finland. Certainly there are other Nordic countries in which frost is a real pr
Knowledge of the forest biomass and its change in time is crucial to understanding the carbon cycle and its interactions with climate change. LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) technology, in this respect, has proven to be a valuable tool, providing reliable estimates of aboveground biomass (AGB). The overall goal of this study was to develop a method for assessing AGB using a synergy of low poin
This dissertation concerns the field of applied psychiatry and focuses on the problems that are associated with the care and treatment of adult patients with autism spectrum disorders. The conditions that are described are valid for Swedish psychiatry and cannot be directly generalized to conditions outside of the country.
The wheat pathogen Stagonospora nodorum, causal organism of the wheat disease Stagonospora nodorum blotch, has emerged as a model for the Dothideomycetes, a large fungal taxon that includes many important plant pathogens. The initial annotation of the genome assembly included 16 586 nuclear gene models. These gene models were used to design a microarray that has been interrogated with labelled tra
Understanding the relationship between photosynthesis, net primary productivity and growth in forest ecosystems is key to understanding how these ecosystems will respond to global anthropogenic change, yet the linkages among these components are rarely explored in detail. We provide the first comprehensive description of the productivity, respiration and carbon allocation of contrasting lowland Am
The temperature distribution in a concrete structure varies due to complex interactions with the surrounding climate. Solar radiation, air temperature, wind speed and long-wave radiation all affect the temperature in the material, and may cause movements in the longitudinal and transversal directions. If these movements are restrained, stresses and strains can be induced which may contribute to cr
Purpose - Considering the importance of supply chain integration (SCI) in literature and the increasing outsourcing of logistics, this paper aims to study the role of logistics service providers (LSPs) in supporting SCI and clients' performance.
Design/methodology/approach – This research is based on a two-step approach: a literature review on supply chain integration (SCI
Att köpa sexuella tjänster har varit brottsligt i Sverige sedan 1999. Även om kriminaliseringen i förarbetena delvis motiverades med att prostitution är skadligt för individerna som befinner sig i situationen så är det inte, åtminstone inte tydligt, ett brott mot person. Samtidigt finns det personer med erfarenhet av att sälja sex som vittnar om utsatthet och övergrepp inom prostitutionen, något sBuying sexual services has been illegal in Sweden since 1999. Although the criminalization in the preparatory work was partly motivated by the fact that prostitution is harmful to the individuals who are in the situation, it is not, at least not clear, a crime against an individual. At the same time, there are people with experience of selling sex that tells about their experiences, showing that a
In recent years, it has become increasingly recognized that the traditional production-based methods for calculations of greenhouse gas emissions have shortcomings. This is justified by the fact that such inventories only include emissions that occur within a particular geographical area. As major emissions also arise as a result of imports of goods and services and from international travel, such

Denna uppsats syftar till att ge en rättshistorisk redogörelse för tvångsvården av alkohol- och narkotikamissbrukare i Sverige, från den första lagen om behandling alkoholister 1913 till 1981 års LVM. Studien fokuserar på lagstiftningens målgrupp, gränsdragningen mellan lagstiftning om tvångsvård av missbrukare och psykiatrisk tvångsvård samt ansvaret för att ansöka om och finansiera tvångsvåThis thesis aims to descibe the legal history of cumpulsory care of alcohol and substance abusers in Sweden from the first Act on the Treatment of Alcoholics in 1913 up until the Care of Abusers Special Provisions Act of 1981. Specifically, the study centers around the definition of the target group of said legislation, the demarkation between legislation on compulsory treatment of abusers an
Den svenska straffrätten har under det senaste århundradet genomgått en mängd förändringar. Allt som oftast har påföljdssystemet varit utformad efter de för tillfället förhärskande bestraffningsteorierna. Det finns en lång tradition av särbehandling av unga lagöverträdare i Sverige och till viss del så tas hänsyn till andra intressen när det gäller ungdomar. Denna framställning ska besvara frågornSwedish penal law has undergone many changes over the last centuries. The sanction system has most often been modelled on penalization theories dominant at the time. Sweden has a long tradition of special treatment of young offenders, and other interest are to some extent taken into consideration when it comes to juvenile offenders compared to adults. This essay will answer the questions of which
The question of choice is a fundamental issue in the discussion of human mobilities. In the context of natural disaster and resettlement programs, the affected population is reduced to victims devoid of agency, and their movements concluded as passive reactions. However, the post-tsunami mobility behaviour of the families in the Maldives after the devastating 2004 tsunami paints a very different p
