This master's thesis sets out to explore information literacy in a contextualized learning environment with emphasis on students at a vocationally oriented program in the Swedish upper secondary school. The concept of information literacy is widely discussed and furthermore a common subject for research within the field of Library and Information Science. Information literacy can be described

En gärningsperson som begår ett brott under påverkan av en allvarlig psykisk störning och även vid domstillfället lider av en sådan störning, ska i första hand dömas till rättspsykiatrisk vård istället för fängelse. Vid misstanke om att en allvarlig psykisk störning föreligger får gärningspersonen genomgå en rättspsykiatrisk undersökning. Undersökningen resulterar i att de sakkunniga läkarna och pA perpetrator who commits a crime affected of a severe mental disorder, and also by the time for the verdict is affected by such a disorder, shall primarily be sentenced to care instead of prison. If a severe mental disorder is suspected to be present, the perpetrator may undergo a forensic psychiatric examination. The examination results in a report of expertise, where the doctors and psychiatris

I detta arbete behandlas tre kategorier av ingrepp: omskärelse, könsstympning och estetisk intimkirurgi. Dessa tre regleras mycket olika inom svensk rätt. Den estetiska intimkirurgin är tillåten och möjlig att genomgå efter att personen som ska undergå ingreppet har fyllt 18 år. Omskärelser är även de tillåtna, och en sådan är möjlig att genomgå på egen begäran som myndig, såväl som på föräldrars This work deals with three categories of procedures: circumcision, female genital mutilation and aesthetic genital surgery. These three are regulated very differently in Swedish law. Aesthetic intimate surgery is permitted and possible to undergo after the person who is to undergo the procedure has turned 18 years old. Circumcision is also permitted, and is possible to undergo at one's own req

The European Spallation Source, currently under construction in Lund, Sweden, will be the world's brightest neutron source. It is driven by a linear accelerator designed to accelerate a beam of protons with 62.5 mA, 2.86 ms long pulses, working at 14 Hz. The final section of its normal-conducting front-end consists of a 39 m long drift tube linac divided into five tanks, designed to accelerate

This Master Thesis has been performed as a development project for Asko Cylinda AB in Vara, Sweden. The company develops, manufactures and markets conventional tumble dryers among many other products. An important part of a tumble dryer is the filter holder with belonging fuzz filters mounted on the door of tumble dryer’s. The fuzz filter’s objective is to filtrate the hot drying air that pass thr

Det svenska samhället har under längre tid sett ut så att skyddet för familjelivet, den privata sfären, vägt tyngre än ett offentligrättsligt styrande. Den rättsliga utvecklingen har dock under tid varit föränderlig och lagstiftaren har vägt in parametrar som att barn kan vara utsatta i familjelivet där de som skall ta hand om dem är de som utsätter barnen för skadliga handlingar. Enligt FN:s barnSwedish society has for some time looked to the protection of family life, private life, weighed heavier than a public ruling. The legal development, however, has been changing over time, and the legislature has weighed in parameters that children can be exposed in family life where those who must care for them are those who expose children to harmful acts. According to the UNCRC, the child's

Det har på senare tid skett framsteg inom neurovetenskaplig forskning som skapat möjligheter för ett nytt ämnesområde inom juridiken, neurojuridik. Forskningen om neurojuridik sker främst i USA och en särskilt omdebatterad fråga där är om neurovetenskapliga lögndetektorer ska få användas i straffprocessen. Det finns även två privata bolag i USA som för närvarande lanserar den neurovetenskapliga löThe recent developments in neuroscience research have made it possible for a new field to emerge within law, neurolaw. Most of the research on neurolaw takes place in the United States and one intensively debated issue there is whether or not neuroscience-based lie detection should be allowed in criminal cases. There are currently two American private companies advertising the neuroscience-based l

The overall purpose of this thesis is to improve our understanding of how disaster risk management (DRM) systems function. Specifically, it aims to increase our knowledge about effective communication in a multi-stakeholder, multi-level DRM system, with a particular focus on the exchange of risk-related information for risk assessment. The Swedish DRM system is taken as a study case to examine how

Whole blood is rich in information about the physical state of an individual and is routinely used in a variety of clinical and research applications. In this thesis, the use of a microfluidic technique called acoustophoresis for separation of different blood components is explored. Acoustophoresis uses an ultrasonic standing wave field to manipulate cells in a microfluidic device. Cells within th

The global society is dependent on transportation to function and a big part of these transports are driven by an internal combustion engine. Heavy-duty vehicles utilizes conventional diesel combustion is a combustion concept where the fuel is often ignited during the injection event and while it gives a high combustion efficiency, the combustion mode is also characterized by high emission of NOx

Den främsta orsaken till en ökad växthuseffekt anses idag bero på en högre koncentrationav koldioxid i atmosfären. Sedan den industriella revolutionen harmänniskan påverkat mängden koldioxid i atmosfären genom aktiviteter så somförbränning av fossila bränslen, avskogning, förändringar i markanvändning, samtcementproduktion.

The review is limited to existing buildings in Sweden and includes schools, retirement homes, apartments, preschools, and non-industrial offices (those without industrial processes that produce heat). The expected climate

IGF-1 is an essential regulator of fetal growth and brain development. Preterm birth in the human is followed by a rapid decrease in serum levels of IGF-1 and decreased levels of IGF-1 have been associated with development of severemorbidity. A recent clinical trial indicated that supplementation with IGF-1 prevented development of severe intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) in extremely preterm infa

In response to global sustainability challenges, there are multiple public research andpolicy incentives being implemented to support a more sustainable energy system. These are aimed at advancing technology and innovation as well as guiding citizens tochange behaviour. But are those incentives accurately leading to a transition towards amore sustainable energy system and society?Evaluation of the

The clinical presentation of Alzheimer's disease (AD) varies widely across individuals but the neurobiological mechanisms underlying this heterogeneity are largely unknown. Here, we compared regional gray matter (GM) volumes and associated gene expression profiles between cognitively-defined subgroups of amyloid-β positive individuals clinically diagnosed with AD dementia (age: 66 ± 7, 47% male, M

In everyday life, we bind visual samples of the world into a coherent episodic memory via eye movements. Previous eye tracking research revealed that visual scrutiny, gaze transitions between event elements, and refixations during encoding predict successful memory formation. However, little is known about the neural mechanisms of these processes. Here, we combine EEG and eye tracking to investiga
