Abstract Through qualitative method, this essay intends to study which expectations exist for school counselors in the school organization, accordning to the new school law (2010:800), which puts demands on all schools to have access to a counselor. The study consists of 24 survey answers from educators, as well as interviews with a special education teacher and a principal. Half of the survey res
Ledsagare – en förlängd arm? Av: Emelie Johansson Abstract The aim of this essay was to see how the respondents reasoned about different themes like, isolation, integration and barriers to integration, given that they had all been diagnosed with a psychosis diagnosis. The essay has used qualitative interviews, by the author of this essay, with persons working as escort to persons with an impairme
Helsingborgs Stad vill i samarbete med HSB, PEAB och Riksbyggen exploatera Sjöcrona Park i centrala Helsingborg, Sverige, med flerbostadshus. Inför en exploatering är det viktigt att ha god kunskap om geologiska förhållanden så som jordlagermäktigheter, hydrogeologi och om det finns sprickzoner eller lervittrade sprickzoner i berggrunden som påverkar bergkvaliteten. För att få en bättre bild av deThe city of Helsingborg together with HSB, PEAB and Riksbyggen wants to construct apartment buildings in Sjöcrona Park in central Helsingborg, Sweden. Before a construction it is important to have good knowledge about geological conditions such as ground layer thickness, hydrogeology and if there are any clay weathered fracture zones that may affect the quality of the bedrock. To obtain a better e
The concept of sustainable development has repeatedly been criticized for being vague. Scholars have all but agreed to disagree on a possible definition. This study constitutes an attempt to define the concept of environmental sustainability. The main objective is that present-day ambiguity and vagueness of the concept is turned into an intelligible communication and constructive discussion (jfr S
In both Swedish political discourse and in Swedish media the phenomenon known as begging is a topical issue. The purpose behind this study was to examine the attitudes and notions toward the phenomenon of begging among social workers within the voluntary and public sector, and also their position on responsibility in relation to this reality. The empirical base of the study was formed by semi-stru
This master’s dissertation comprises a life cycle assessment (LCA) of a changing table, which mainly constitutes of FSC certified wood. Results per functional unit showed global warming potential of 12,5 kg CO2 eq, creation of ground level ozone 2,17 g C2H4 eq, emitting of acidifying substances 39,4 g SO2 eq and energy consumption 93,5 MJ during the estimated product life length of 12,5 years. The
Perfluoroktansulfonsyra, PFOS en av människan tillverkad organisk syra, vars väteatomer har blivit utbytta mot fluoratomer och är en nyligen upptäckt förorening som tros finnas i 3,6 miljoner svenskars dricksvatten. Den här kandidatuppsatsen är en litteraturstudie i vilken förekomsten av PFOS i grundvattnet studeras. Det är förmågan att bilda ytbeläggningar som är avvisande mot smuts, fett och vatThe manufacture of products containing PFOS started in the 1950s, and has mainly been used as fire-fighting foam, (Aqueous Film Forming Foam), flooring, textiles, leather impregnation, cleaning and in impregnated paper. This has resulted in a global contamination that is widely spread in the hydrosphere, biosphere and the atmosphere; due to long and intensive use without any regulations. PFOS is a
Endo-beta-1,4-D-mannanase is the key depolymerizing enzyme for beta-1,4-mannan polymers present in the cell walls of plants and some algae, as well as in some types of plant seeds. Endo-1,4-beta-mannanase from blue mussel Mytilus edulis (MeMan5A) belongs to the glycoside hydrolase (GH) family 5 enzymes. The MeMan5A structure has been determined to 1.6 angstrom resolution using the multiple-wavelen
The SI-mediated carotenoid to BChl a energy-transfer pathway and carotenoid radical formation have been studied using femtosecond time-resolved transient absorption spectroscopy. A series of LH2 complexes (LH2 = light-harvesting complex 2) from Rhodobacter sphaeroides incorporating carotenoids neurosporene, spheroidene, and spheroidenone were used to explore the effect of conjugation length. The S
In a 24-year sub-sample taken from a 42-year period of study (1950-1991), hip fracture incidence was analysed from a defined catchment area within one hospital. During this time, 8,256 hip fractures occurred in a generated risk population of 1,915,571 person-years. Crude incidence increased three-fold in women and five-fold in men. In men, the age-specific increase was twice as large as the age dr
Sedimentological and morphological changes on the upper and lower shoreface during relatively stable sea-level highstand conditions have been investigated in the Pomeranian Bight, southern Baltic Sea, at time scales ranging from storm events to millennia. In order to cover that variety of time scales, different methods have been applied. Seasonal variations in the morphology of the upper shoreface
Objectives and design Knowledge in physiotherapy is based on both scientific evidence and clinical practice. Different perspectives of knowledge generate different implications for theory development. The aim of this qualitative, phenomenographic study was to describe physiotherapists' conceptions of physiotherapy knowledge. Intervention and participants Open, semi-structured interviews were condu
Exposure of adult male animals to 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) decreases serum androgen concentrations. Reduction in androgen levels after maternal exposure has also been reported, but these results have not been reproduced. We have earlier shown that TCDD stimulates rather than inhibits testosterone synthesis in the prenatal rat testis. The aim of the present study was to elucidate
Over the years, there has been much debate regarding the conformational behavior of flexible polyelectrolytes with electrostatic interactions described by the D bye-Huckel approximation. In particular, the electrostatic persistence length has been reported to depend both quadratically and linearly on the screening length as well as having no consistent power-law dependence at all. On the basis of
Childhood asthma and wheeze is more common among boys than girls, white the opposite is found in adults. The main objective was to study the incidence and the course of wheeze and asthma during adolescence with focus on gender differences. In addition, we explored associations between lifestyle factors at baseline and wheeze at follow-up. A total of 2399 adolescents answered validated questionnair
Fibroblast growth factor 8 (FGF-8) is expressed in a large proportion of breast cancers, whereas its level in normal mammary gland epithelium is low. Previous studies have shown that FGF-8b stimulates breast cancer cell growth in vitro and in vivo. To explore the mechanisms by which FGF-8b promotes growth, we studied its effects on cell cycle regulatory proteins and signalling pathways in mouse S1
The mutation G17736A/Val107Val (silent) was found in five of a total of 86 families with haemophilia B in Sweden. It is unlikely that five families with analogous clinical expression will have the same polymorphism, which is not found in other patients or normal subjects, or that they will be the only families in the population without any other causative mutation. All affected individuals in the
PURPOSEOur aim was to assess the impact of cigarette smoking on the risk of the tumors classified by the International Agency for Research on Cancer as causally associated with smoking, referred to as tobacco-related cancers (TRC). METHODSThe study population included 441,211 participants (133,018 men and 308,193 women) from the European Prospective Investigation Into Cancer and Nutrition. We inve
Three methods estimating adverse effects of SO2 on Norway spruce forests were applied and evaluated on a regional level in northern Czech Republic. The methods, assuming adverse effects to occur when predetermined thresholds are exceeded, include the critical level of SO2 concentration (1), the ratio of the SO2 concentration to the vegetation period (SO2/VP) (2) and a model predicting needle loss
Both numerical simulations and experiments were conducted in a heavy-duty DICI engine, with PRF81 as a gasoline surrogate, to investigate how the fuel stratification, auto-ignition and combustion are affected by the start of injection (SOI). The intake air temperature was adjusted to keep the combustion phasing constant when the SOI was swept from −100 to −20 oCA ATDC, covering different regimes o
