Bakgrund Handhållen dynamometer (HHD) är ett instrument som inom fysioterapi används för att mäta muskelstyrka. Mätinstrumentets reliabilitet och validitet har undersökts och fastställts under de senaste decennierna, men få studier har jämfört olika typer och modeller med varandra. Syfte och frågeställningar Syftet med denna studie är att jämföra en tryck-HHD (Echo Wireless Muscle Tester) med en d
Detta arbete berör ämnet återbruk och återanpassning av en befintlig byggnad i en nutida kontext. Byggnaden som jag valt att studera är Sundhammars barnkoloni, byggd år 1937, belägen invid kusten i södra Bohuslän. Trots att byggnaden bedöms vara en av de bäst bevarade barnkolonibyggnaderna så saknar den skydd, varpå den vid flertalet tillfällen hotats av rivning. Målet med detta examensarbete äThis work concerns the topic of reuse and readaptation of an existing building in a contemporary context. The building I have chosen to study is Sundhammars barnkoloni, built in 1937, located next to the coast in the southern part of Bohuslän. Although the building is considered to be one of the best preserved children’s colony buildings, it lacks protection, whereupon it has been threatened with
The striatum is the main input nucleus of the basal ganglia. Striatal subregions, which play different roles in motor functions, receive inputs from different cortical regions. Regulation of synaptic plasticity at the level of corticostriatal synapses is believed to underlie habit formation and motor learning. Alteration of plasticity at the level of corticostriatal synapses has been associated wi
This Bachelor’s thesis consists of an empirical study using a gravity regression model to determine if Ukrainian bilateral export flows were affected by the 2014 war through an increase in political and social risk functioning as trade resistance. There is an empirical research gap on this issue that this thesis attempts to mitigate. The study was conducted using PPML with fixed effects to solve t
This thesis examines the phenomena of third-party enforcement in public international law, in a historical as well as in a contemporary perspective. To that end, it traces the role of such enforcement measures from the past into the present. It also studies the potential discrepancies between current unilateral sanctions and the recent changes experienced by international law at large. Two legal m
Dagens samhälle omfattas av åtskilliga religiösa ideologier. För en utomstående kan en religiös tradition tyckas ofattbar. Ett exempel på en sådan tradition är hur en frisk person av religiösa skäl kan avstå från livräddande behandling. När det kommer till Jehovas vittnen avsäger de blodprodukter eftersom blodet i deras mening är en symbol för livet och därmed heligt. Enligt nuvarande lagstiftningToday's society is composed of numerous religious ideologies. To an outsider, a religious tradition may seem inconceivable. An example of such a tradition is how a healthy person can for religious reasons refrain from life-saving treatment. When it comes to Jehovah's Witnesses, they renounce blood products because blood in their sense is a symbol of life and thus sacred. Under current legi
Denna uppsats syftar till att undersöka och kritiskt granska hur personer med osynliga funktionsnedsättningar behandlas inom arbetsrätten. Särskilt fokus riktas på situationen där uppsägning på grund av personliga skäl är aktuell. Frågorna är av särskilt intresse med anledning av den reform av lagen (1982:80) om anställningsskydd (LAS) som ska genomföras i svensk rätt senare i år. För att kunna upThis thesis aims to describe and critical peruse how the Swedish law treats persons with invisible disabilities in the labour law, with a special focus on termination of employment due to personal reasons. The essay is of particular interest because of the reform of the Employment Protection Act (SFS 1982:80), which is to be implemented in Swedish law later this year. To be able to answer the aim
The principle of the ‘Responsibility to Protect’ or ‘R2P’, adopted by states at the World Summit in 2005, establishes that states have a responsibility to protect their citizens, and if a state fails to do so, the responsibility falls upon the international community. In Myanmar, the Rohingya crisis and the military coup of 2021 has displayed the widespread systematic violations of human rights. D
Världen har fått röd flagg i klimatfrågan och måste akut sänka sina koldioxidutsläpp för att nå målen som sattes i Parisavtalet. Trots detta står IKT-sektorn för 2-6 % av världens växthusgasutsläpp och andelen förväntas växa kommande år. IKT behöver ta sitt ansvar för att bygga gröna applikationer. Det finns mycket forskning om grön mjukvaruutveckling, men knappt någon om man faktiskt använder pri
The Swedish government has decided to start building high-speed rails. The objective of this study is to analyze the policy process behind this decision. This is done using Bacchi’s What’s the Problem Represented to Be approach, which is designed to investigate the problem representations behind any policy, as well as their underpinnings. Eight different problem representations have been found,
The industrial sector of Sweden used 136 TWh of energy 2022 out of which the agricultural sector used 6.09 TWh. The goal of the country is to become 50% more energy efficient by 2030 compared to 2005. Furthermore, Sweden’s long-term target is to achieve net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2045. From 2005-2022 the total energy use of the agricultural sector has been reduced by 16% but previous stu
Background: The rise of influencer marketing, fuelled by globalisation and social media popularity, has led to an increased ethically contested promotion of aesthetic surgery by influencers. Existing research has primarily focused on consumers, leaving the influencer perspective and their ethical justifications largely unexplored. Purpose: To explore the ethical justifications of social media infl
The historically rapid growth of modern cities has a tearing effect on our planet, which requires a systematic transformation from linear to circular resource usage and consumption. Scientists and decision makers world-wide propose Circular Cities as a part of the solution, but empirical evidence and theoretical models of their practical implementation is lacking. This study explores the framework
Generally regarded as a sustainable country, Costa Rica faces the future challenge of maintaining their renewable energy performance amidst climate change impacts and the need to integrate intermittent renewables. This thesis explores the opportunities and barriers for Costa Rica to achieve 100% renewable electricity while maintaining energy security, despite its developing nation status. Through
Water scarcity is increasing across different geographical regions of Vietnam. Central drivers of scarcity include population growth and climate change which increase demand and sectoral competition. The legal system is keeping pace to address this trend, but gaps remain in terms of implementation and enforcement. This purpose of this study was to improve the understanding of those gaps via polyce
The decrease in fertility rate has become an increasingly pressing matter worldwide. This research employed the Copenhagen School-rooted theory of securitization in analyzing the discourse on falling fertility rates within South Korea’s defense white papers from 2012 to 2022. In contrast to the mainstream security studies, the argument is that state-specific fertility rates can be considered a thr
This thesis explores various aspects of urban design and societal factors that contribute to creating child-friendly environments. The study begins by examining child-friendly design, emphasizing the significance of considering children’s needs in urban planning. Following this, a city-wide analysis of Reykjavík is conducted, exploring the swimming pool culture, the preschool and school system, an
The construction sector is responsible for high energy consumption and large emissions of carbon dioxide, which is strongly linked to building materials. Within the European Union, the construction sector generates more than a third of all waste and circular economy is considered as a suitable approach to tackle these challenges. Furthermore, the need for renewable energy sources has increased, wi
Forensic sexual assault samples typically contain a mixture of a small quantity of sperm cells and a high quantity of epithelial cells. This relationship complicates the generation of a DNA profile, which prompts the need for differential lysis and extraction of the DNA. Differential extraction is a lengthy method that includes multiple tube transfers and requires a purification step. Amicon Ultra
