Having notoriously escaped the operation table to be cut open for a full intestine check-up, the anatomy of the acclaimed ‘troops for influence’- assumption finally faces a full body search. Although appearing to be somewhat of a tacitly accepted ‘truth’ both in the academic and political world, there is confusion as to how we might actually understand the assumption of ‘troops for influence’ and

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of the prohibition to capitalise any development cost in SMEs, as required by IFRS for SMEs (section 18.14), on SMEs’ managers’ decisions on investments in development activities. Methodology: The methodology applied in this study is represented by an experimental approach structured in simulations built with Microsoft Excel. The emp

Placing focus on the culture of textiles, this project intends to develop a deeper understanding of the relationship between textiles and landscape through the use of textiles as a poetic/ artistic tool in a design process. Specifically placing focus on Sweden as a site of exploration, it works from a regional to microscopic scale, examining techniques of textile production - weaving, non-weaving,

For most people getting a stroller is an obvious thing to do when having a baby. It’s mainly used for transportation of the baby but has other functions as well. For example, it is used as a storage, serves as a shopping bag for groceries and makes a perfect bed for a baby nap. Using a stroller should be easy and safe, but when it’s getting dark outside it can be hard to see the road ahead and fin

För att de globala utsläppen av CO2 ska minska bör industrier se över sin användning av olja och gas i sina processer och byta det till något som är CO2-neutralt. Om detta ska vara möjligt bör ersättningsbränslet vara förnyelsebart och samtidigt ha liknande förbränningsegenskaper som kan förväntas av olja och gas. Träpulver är ett bränsle som anses ha potential att uppfylla dessa krav. Denna rapTo reduce the global emissions of CO2, industries have to do an overview of their oil and gas usage in their processes and substitute it to something CO2-neutral. To implement this, the new fuel has to be renewable and have similar combustion properties as oil and natural gas. Pulverised wood is a fuel that is believed to fulfill these qualifications. This report is a investigation, based on a l

This thesis examines how the concept of liberty has changed in the three liberal parties represented in the Swedish parliament. The starting point of the thesis is the former right-wing government Alliance for Sweden, and its election manifesto from the year 2006. The manifesto of 2006 is then compared with the manifestos of the former liberal Alliance-parties from the election of 2022. The partie

In recent years, researchers worldwide have become increasingly interested in the phenomenon of code-switching in the multilingual classroom. The paper aims to try to understand when and why teachers in Swedish for Immigrants (SFI) schools code-switch in their classrooms. It analyses the methods and reasons for teachers’ code-switching in the SFI classroom. A case study was conducted by means of a

There have been many calls for higher education to facilitate a transition towards sustainability, in particular, with a social change dimension. Literature exists on the different learning outcomes and competencies expected of students in this process, but not much is written about learning approaches used within curriculums that can enable social change. This thesis aims to address this issue by

Föroreningar av mark- och vattenområden, så kallade föroreningsskador, medför i regel höga kostnader att avhjälpa. För att undvika att kostnaden belastar statsbudgeten har ett avhjälpandeansvar införts i 10 kap. miljöbalken, enligt vilket i första hand verksamhetsutövare har ett ansvar för utredning, efterbehandling och andra åtgärder som krävs för att avhjälpa en föroreningsskada. VerksamhetsutövAfter-treatment of polluted land or water areas usually entails high costs. To avoid that the cost burdens the state budget, an after-treatment liability was introduced in chapter 10 of the Environmental Code, according to which operators primarily shall be liable for the cost of investigation, after-treatment and other measures required to remedy the pollution damage. As a general rule, the conce

Mobila enheter såsom bärbara datorer, avancerade handdatorer och mobiltelefoner blir allt vanligare i organisationer. Tidigare har informationssäkerhet byggts upp för att skydda organisationer från attacker utifrån, men nu måste man även skydda organisationen inifrån. Detta för att enheter tas ut ur organisationen och utsätts för andra, möjligt farliga miljöer. För att sedan på nytt föras in i org

BAKGRUND: Effektiv kommunikation och samarbete är en förutsättning för att kunna leverera en vård som är säker för patienten och misstag i kommunikationen mellan personer i vårdkedjan är en vanlig orsak till skador. Ett dilemma i dagens vård är operationsteam med olika yrkesgrupper med ibland otydliga arbetsuppgifter och ansvarsområden, som utgör en stor utmaning för kommunikationen. SYFTE: Att un

I denna uppsats kommer jag att titta på hur miljöorganisationers talerätt har förändrats i EU efter det att EU ratificerade Århuskonventionen. Århuskonventionen ger individer och miljöorganisationer talerätt gällande tillgång till information, rätt att delta i beslutsprocesser, men också gentemot privatpersoner eller myndigheter som strider mot den nationella miljölagstiftningen. EU har införlivatIn this thesis I will look at how access to justice for NGOs has changed in the EU after the Union became a party to the Aarhus Convention. The Aarhus Convention gives individuals and environmental NGOs access to justice regarding access to environmental information, public participation in decision-making, but also in regard to private persons or public authorities in breach of national environme

Syftet med studien var att utreda vilka behov av stöd och information som uppstår hos kvinnor med nydiagnostiserad bröstcancer samt att reda ut hur sjuksköterskorna kan tillgodose dessa behov. Metoden bestod av granskning och analys av tio vetenskapliga artiklar, vilka hämtades ur PubMed, Cinahl och genom manuell sökning. Resultatet visade att det finns ett stort informationsbehov. Vid diagnostill

The combination of features from the public and private sectors in jointly owned companies imposes challenges to the governance and control mechanisms of these organisations, which have been criticised for lacking accountability. Where there is fragmented ownership, the interests of different owners need to be coordinated. The aim of this article is to consider how such companies can be governed i

Lake Poopó is a terminal lake of the Bolivian Altiplano, with high salinity and heavy anthropogenic pollution from centuries of extensive mining activity. This study aims to describe how the water quality of groundwater and surface water system in different subwater-sheds of the Lake Poopó varies with geology and hydrology. Measurements of total dissolved solids (TDS) in wells show groundwater bec

The economics of biobanking are intertwined with its social and scientific aspects. In this article, we illustrate this interrelationship and describe two problems that structure the discussion about the economics of biobanking. First, there is a “sustainability problem” about how to maintain biobanks in the long term. Second, and representing a partial response to the first problem, there is a “c

The recent Company of Biologists workshop 'Growth, Division and Differentiation: Understanding Developmental Control', which was held in September 2011 at Wiston House, West Sussex, UK, brought together researchers aiming to understand cell proliferation and differentiation in various metazoans, ranging from flies to mice. Here, we review the common themes that emerged from the meeting, highlighti
