The purpose of this paper has been to explore how Internet is perceived, with reference to youth, risk and responsibility, by a section of the population in North-West Skåne in Sweden. The questions central to our area of interest were: - Where does the responsibility for a safe Internet environment lie? - What measures are believed to be able to make Internet safer? - Are the opinions about sa
The purpose with the essay was to study the school and the social welfare personnel respectively along with their perspectives and views on their collaboration in the work with socially exposed children and how the collaboration was formed. To get answers to my questions, I interviewed three teachers and three social welfare secretaries. The questions and the analysis were divided into themes: th
The purpose of this essay was a follow-up of four female drug abusers with several mental problems ten years after my initial meeting with them at Korsaröds Behandlingshem. Using a qualitative method and interviews with the women, knowledge was obtained regarding their current vital conditions and their subjective experiences of the treatment at Korsaröd. Their perspective on the ethical as well a
Central in this paper is Olof Johansson, Swedish minister for the environment, there the focus lye on his resignation from this duty which occurred in 1994. This essay is a case study there I?m trying to identify which ethical reasons which lye behind his resignation. The relationship between politics and ethics is an interesting aspect to investigate and my ambition with this paper is to analyze
The report contains an evaluation of the fire safety at Linden shopping centre in Norrköping, Sweden. The evaluation concerns evacuation times, fire development, smoke filling and smoke layer temperatures. The modelling has been executed with the computer models FDS, ARGOS, AST/CFAST and SIMULEX which were validated with hand calculations. The report includes suggestions for improvement of the bui
Today’s dementia care has demonstrated a widespread use of locking devices in the escape routes of the care units. Most commonly code locks. The locking devices are used to prevent wanderers from wandering away from de dementia unit and risk hurting themselves, disappear or even die. On the contrary, the locks themselves may endanger a safe escape in the case of fire as well as it is may violate t
This thesis discusses two cases of rape against adolescent girls that happened in Cianjur, West Java, and Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara in Indonesia. First of all, the thesis evaluates the availability of the legal framework in the area of rape in Indonesia that ensures the victims rights with regard to rape. It will look at whether Indonesia has ratified relevant international human rights instrumen
Tidigare forskning tyder på att imagery rescripting av tidiga och aktuella minnesbilder kopplat till negativa bilder av sig själv (sk encapsulated beliefs) är ett användbart inslag vid behandling av social fobi.Vår studie har avsett att replikera dessa resultat och mäta effekter av imagery rescripting vid social fobi. Grad av ångest kopplat till tidiga och aktuella minnesbilder, grad av livlighet Previous research indicates that imagery rescripting of both previous and current memories connected to negative self images (i.e encapsulated beliefs) is a tool in the treatment of social phobia. Our study attempted to replicate these results by measuring the effects of imagery rescripting on social phobia. The degree of anxiety connected to previous and current memories and the degree of vividne
This thesis is a grounded theory study of orphanhood in the context of the HIV/AIDS pandemic in sub-Saharan Africa. It aims at understanding how orphans experience their life circumstances; negotiate social interactions and self-images; and develop aspirations for future existence. The study was conducted in Pallisa, Uganda and the methods used were participant observations, photo elicitation and
The overall purpose of this essay has been to evaluate a local planning and decision-making process by comparing it with a norm of a democratic process. The case in question was the building of a new multi-purpose arena in Kristianstad. After the decision to build had been made the arena process was accused of being undemocratic and in the end the protesters even tried to force through a referendu
The thesis concerns inflation measuring and investigates how an alternative to the CPI or GDP-deflator inflation measures could be constructed. The theoretical foundations are based on the quantity theory of money. The measure is constructed as a weighted index where the weights are determined through a statistical method that assigns a weight to a good or a group of goods according to its volatil
Process diagnosis is essential to ensure anaerobic fermentation stable and efficient. Here, a novel sensor system combining microbial fuel cell (MFC), gas flow meter and pH meter was developed to evaluate its feasibility for probing the anaerobic process established on a model high-rate bioreactor. Repeated transient responses of electrical signal, proton concentration, and gas flow rate, were obs
It is of central interest in membrane proteomics to establish methods that combine efficient solubilization with enrichment of proteins and intact protein complexes. We have investigated the quantitative and qualitative solubilization efficiency of five commercially available detergents using mitochondria from the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae as model system. Combining the zwitterionic detergent
The effects of chocolate shell particle size were investigated by means of its influence on rate of oil migration and fat bloom development. The particle size of the non-fat particles in the chocolate, i.e. sugar and cocoa particles was varied between 15, 22 and 40 mu m. A novel set of analytical techniques was used and by combining migration results with surface topology results clear differences
The pectin content in the soluble and insoluble fractions of fiber suspensions from carrot, potato pulp and apple heat treated in four different ways was determined together with the particle size distribution, water-holding capacity (WHC), morphology and rheological properties of the fiber suspensions. In the carrot and apple suspensions, where beta-elimination was favored, the soluble pectin inc
The S 2p core level photoelectron spectra of Sulphurhexafluoride Clusters have been investigated together with heterogeneous Ar/SF6 clusters, created by doping Ar host clusters (with a mean size of 3600 atoms) with the molecule. Surface and bulk features are resolved both in the argon 2p and the sulphur 2p core level photoelectron spectra. For the latter level such features were only observed in t
CaO-based sorbents are considered suitable candidates for cyclic CO2 capture at high temperatures. However, the CO2 capture capacities of natural CaO-based sorbents decrease sharply after only a few cycles. This paper presents a novel wet mixing combustion synthesis to improve the cyclic CO2 capture performance of CaO-based sorbents. Results show that preparation conditions significantly affected
In this study, a potentiometric glucose biosensor was fabricated by immobilization of glucose oxidase on to zinc oxide nanowires. Zinc oxide nanowires with 250-300 nm diameters and approximately 1.2 mu m lengths were grown on the surface of silver wires with a diameter of 250 mu m. Glucose oxidase (GOD) was electrostatically immobilized on the surface of the well aligned zinc oxide nanowires resul
There is little research on the personalities and emotional stability of persons who report being bullied or witnessing bullying at work. Men and women (N = 247) from 19 to 64 years of age and in manual labour completed a questionnaire concerning the psychosocial work climate, bullying and personality. Three groups were defined: bullied (N = 14), witnesses (N = 31) and non-bullied respondents (N =
Syftet med denna studie var att se om man kan påverka individers upplevelser av en förhandling med hjälp av kunskap om Fisher & Shapiros (2005) fem kärnpunkter. Kärnpunkternas mål är att generera positiva känslor och bevara goda relationer i en förhandling. Deltagarna var med om ett experiment där hälften av deltagarna fick undervisning i kärnpunkterna och hälften inte. Därefter deltog samtligThe purpose of this study was to examine whether we could affect individual’s experiences of a negotiation by teaching them about Fisher & Shapiro’s five core concerns of negotiation (Fisher & Shapiro 2005). The core concerns aim to generate positive emotions and maintain good relationship within negotiations. The participants took part in an experiment in which half of them received educa
