The objectives of this dissertation are 1) to describe what child protection services actually do when assessing risk and deciding on interventions, and 2) to analyze this practice in the light of institutional expectations, organizational demands and professional technology. The field work was carried out in two Danish municipal social service agencies. Data consist of records on families subject
The enzymatic degradation of wood polysaccharides such as cellulose and hemicellulose is an important process in nature. In addition, cellulases and hemicellulases can be used in industrial applications. Fuel ethanol can potentially be produced from wood by enzymatic hydrolysis of cellulose followed by yeast fermentation of the formed sugars. In this thesis, fungal glycoside hydrolases, cellulase
The enzymatic degradation of plant polysaccharides is a process of fundamental importance in nature which involves a wide range of enzymes. In this work, the structure and function of hemicellulose-degrading enzymes was investigated. The focus was on a beta-mannanase (TrMan5A) produced by the filamentous fungus Trichoderma reesei. This enzyme is composed of a catalytic module and a carbohydrate-bi
Insulin resistance is a hallmark of type 2 diabetes, an increasingly common disorder. The cause of insulin resistance is supposedly failures in the processes used by insulin to signal to the interior of its target cells. These failing steps are still unknown, most probably because of incomplete knowledge of how the insulin signals are transmitted. Since insulin resistance is strongly linked to obe
Liberalisation and deregulation of public utility sectors has been introduced in several European countries. In 1994 Swedish municipalities were instructed to reorganise waste collection routines by enlarging the number of fractions to be able to reuse waste fractions in an environmental benign way. The public waste sector have to a considerable extent been diversified and deregulated. At the same
Popular Abstract in Swedish I Sverige bestäms fastighetsgränsers sträckningar i första hand av gränsmärken på marken, därefter av förrättningskartor och mätuppgifter. Under senare år har efterfrågan på digital fastighetsinformation ökat kraftigt, inte minst beträffande lägesnoggranna gränsdata i den nationella registerkartan. Den utvecklade positioneringstekniken med GPS utgör idag en grundförutsäIn Sweden, the course of a property boundary is first and foremost determined by boundary marks on the ground, and only secondly by cadastral survey plans and measurements. In recent years, the demand for digital property information has increased substantially, not least in respect of accurate boundary data in the national cadastral map. Today, well-established techniques such as GPS positioning
The present thesis addresses three issues related to proteinaceous films at solid/liquid interfaces: adsorption, lubrication and enzymatic interactions. Most of the work has been devoted to oral systems. In addition, gelatin has been investigated as a model protein. Salivary protein adsorption from human whole saliva (HWS) onto hydroxyapatite (HA) and silica has been characterised using ellipsome
Popular Abstract in Swedish Den vanligaste dödsorsaken i västvärlden är hjärt-kärlsjukdom. Därför finns det ett stort intresse att undersöka vilka faktorer som är av avgörande betydelse för att vi ska utveckla t.ex ateroskleros (åderförkalkning). Spelar livsstil och matvanor någon roll eller är det helt och hållet genetiskt betingat? Utvecklingen av förebyggande åtgärder, operationsteknik och post
Popular Abstract in Swedish FN:s konferens om miljö och utveckling i Rio 1992 blev startpunkten för det lokala Agenda 21 arbetet och många svenska kommuner påbörjade lokala Agenda 21 processer under 1993. Avhandlingen syftar till att undersöka hur människor i fyra svenska kommuner upplever hållbar utveckling. Vad är viktigt för människor, och vem/vilka har ansvaret? Vidare analyseras individens käThe UN conference in Rio on Environment and Development in 1992 was the starting point for the local Agenda 21 work and several Swedish municipalities began their local Agenda 21 processes in 1993. This thesis aims at investigating how people perceive sustainable development in four Swedish municipalities. What is important and who is responsible? Individual influence and strategies for implementa
Background: MRI physics simulators have been developed in the past for optimizing imaging protocols and for training purposes. However, these simulators have only addressed motion within a limited scope. The purpose of this study was the incorporation of realistic motion, such as cardiac motion, respiratory motion and flow, within MRI simulations in a high performance multi-GPU environment. Method
This thesis set the goal to contribute to the fields of diaspora studies and cultural studies from a media and communication studies angle by addressing the blank spots ‘white minorities’ and book use. White diasporas are nearly invisible within academia and very often ‘under the radar’ in society as well. Books are underresearched within media studies in favour of other media. On the other hand,
Sexuella övergrepp mot barn tillhör de mål som är allra svårast att hantera i svenska domstolar. Ofta består bevisningen i målet endast av barnets utsaga, vilket medför svåra bevisvärderingsproblem. Högsta domstolen har i NJA 2010 s. 671 fastslagit ett antal kriterier som kan vara behjälpliga vid bevisvärdering av muntliga utsagor. Vad som bland annat kan beaktas är om utsagan är lång, sammanhänga

In the near future, our species, and many others, face an upcoming shock in the global climate; one that could result in the potential extinction of more than just the human race. In order to combat this issue, the field of sustainability emerged throughout different sectors of society. One of the places that this topic has blossomed is within academia, and there are few things more important than
På dagens avloppsreningsverk används i stor grad bakterier för att bli av med kväve i avloppsvattnet och på så sätt minska risken för övergödning och algblomning i våra sjöar, vattendrag och havsområden. Den biologiska reningsmetod som är vanligast idag leder dock till att en stor del av näringsämnet kväve går förlorat upp i luften i form av kvävgas tillsammans med en viss del lustgas. Lustgas är The importance of recycling nutrients becomes more important as the finite resources starts running out, and recycling of urine nutrients is an important factor in developing a sustainable society that takes advantage of nutrients already existing in the system. Urine only represents one percent of the domestic wastewater volumetric flow, but contains 80 % of the nitrogen, 50 % of the phosphorus a
Den framstående juristen Daniel Paul Schreber (1842-1911) drabbades av två omfattande nervsammanbrott i sekelskiftets Tyskland. I sin berömda Denkwürdigkeiten eines Nervenkranken (1903) beskriver Schreber detaljerat sina upplevelser och uppenbarelser efter det andra av dessa sammanbrott, under nio år vid tre olika psykiatriska anstalter. Schrebers öde blev med Sigmund Freuds uppmärksammade fallstuFemale Nerves - Judge Schreber's Unmanning in the Fin-de-Siècle Crisis of Masculinity The prominent jurist Daniel Paul Schreber (1842-1911) suffered two major nervous breakdowns in fin-de-siècle Germany. In his famous Denkwürdigkeiten eines Nervenkranken (1903), Schreber details his experiences and revelations after the second of these breakdowns, during nine years at three different psychiat
After the start of the Russian full-scale invasion of Ukraine, content depicting the war atrocities committed by the Russian soldiers flooded social media. Facebook and Instagram kept removing the videos and photographs depicting violence and breaking their community guidelines. This study critically examines the effectiveness of the communication strategy of Ukrainian artists that emerged in resp
Uppsatsen belyser den problematik som omfamnar ensamkommande barns rätt till uppehållstillstånd i Sverige genom synnerligen ömmande omständigheter, särskilt med tanke på lagändringen i december 2023 som gör det svårare för barn att få uppehållstillstånd beviljat. Detta bekräftas även av statistiken som visar att en betydande minskning av beviljade ansökningar skett året efter lagändringen. UtvecklThe essay highlights the issues surrounding unaccompanied minors' right to residence in Sweden under "particularly distressing circumstances," especially in light of the legislative change in december 2023 that makes it more difficult for children to be granted residence permits. This is confirmed by statistics showing a significant decrease in approved applications in the year follo
Satsningen på vindkraft som en del av Sveriges gröna omställning har lett till ökade etableringar i Sápmi, med konsekvenser för den samiska kulturen. Samiska företrädare har kopplat denna exploatering till det historiska fråntagandet av samisk mark och benämnt detta som grön kolonialism. Samtidigt är samerna särskilt drabbade av de klimatförändringar vindkraften är tänkt att motverka. Denna uppsaThe expansion of wind power as part of Sweden’s green transition has led to increased development in Sápmi, with consequences for Sámi culture. Sámi representatives have linked this exploitation to the historical dispossession of Sámi land and referred to it as green colonialism. At the same time, the Sámi people are particularly affected by the climate change that wind power is intended to mitiga
To realize the transition of our society to a low-carbon future with innovative subsurface energy solutions, understanding the dynamic behavior of gas invading multi-fluid systems in underground pore space is critical. In this work, a joint approach of flow imaging and digital image processing is employed to investigate the fingering dynamics of gas invading multi-fluids in porous media. We examin
