Popular Abstract in Swedish Syftet med avhandlingen är att studera relationen mellan ekonomisk knapphet och konsumtion med fokus på barnfamiljer. Avhandlingen handlar huvudsakligen om att teoretiskt försöka förstå vad ekonomisk knapphet kan innebära i förhållande till ett konsumtions- eller överflödssamhälle som det svenska. Barnfamiljer används som ett empiriskt exempel för att illustrera de teorThe object of this thesis has been to study the relationship between consumption and economic scarcity from a theoretical perspective. I have used families with children as an empirical example to illustrate the theoretical framework. There are two main questions: The first focuses on the structures that create specific conditions for low-income consumers. The second relates to how the households

Cancer is a major cause of human morbidity and mortality, and the risk of developing cancer is about one in three life times. Neuroblastoma is the most common extra-cranial solid tumor among children and arises from early sympathetic nervous system (SNS) cells arrested in their development. Generally, a low tumor cell differentiation correlates to poor prognosis. Solid tumors, like neuroblastoma,

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate effects of postmenopausal hormone replacement therapy (HRT) on von Willebrand factor, factor (F)VIII, factor (F)VII, fibrinogen, antithrombin (AT) III, prothrombin fragments 1 and 2, protein C, total and free protein S, plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1), tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) and resistance to activated protein C. DESIGN: Part 1: double blind randomized

This doctoral dissertation studies voltage controlled oscillators (VCOs) that operate at low supply voltages. Due to smaller transistor sizes and lower supply voltage ratings with every new CMOS technology, voltage headroom is diminishing. Therefore, new ways to build VCOs and quadrature VCOs (QVCOs) have been sought to overcome this smaller headroom, while still maintaining the high performance o

Popular Abstract in Swedish De perifera nervstammarna i extremiteterna förmedlar signaler, dels till muskler, dels från känselkroppar som är belägna i bl a huden. Nervstammarna kan av olika orsaker utsättas för skador orsakade av vassa eller skärande föremål eller av olika typer av slitvåld. Nervskador ger ett mycket stort handikapp för den enskilde patienten som förlorar muskelfunktion och känselNerve injuries have a profound impact on individuals, suffering for the patients and induce cost for society. When dealing with severe nerve injuries that create a gap between nerve segments or when the injury is at the brachial plexus level, the clinical alternatives are limited. The brachial plexus model and its branches in the forelimb was evaluated as an experimental model for studies of nerve

Popular Abstract in Swedish Avregleringen av elmarknaden uppmuntrar kraftbolag och oberoende kraftproducenter till att driva sina kraftverksanläggningar på ett marknadsorienterat sätt. För att behålla de ekonomiska marginalerna på plussidan så har de mest populära åtgärderna varit att förbättra elverkningsgraden genom ändringar i hårdvaran samt höja totalverkningsgraden genom till exempel samproduThe deregulation of the electricity market drives utilities and independent power producers to operate heat and power plants as profit centers. In order to keep the economic margins on the credit side, the preferred measures have been to improve the electrical efficiency through changes in the hardware and boost the overall efficiency through e.g. combined heat and power (CHP) generation. The bett

This thesis explores women’s access to property in Kenya. It consists of three parts. The first gives the Kenyan background, the theoretical and methodological approach. The second presents the findings in relation to the social construct of the gender and elaborates them in the contexts of women´s subsistence work, colonization and its aftermath and women´s formation of organizations. The third p

The purpose of this dissertation is to study the concept of autism from a socio-legal perspective and to analyze the actual use of law in an area where knowledge rivalry is present, as in the case of autism. The ambition is to illustrate how law reacts to, and deals with, rivalry fields of knowledge within the system of decision-making. During the last decades, research on autism has been intense

This thesis studies a period of intense crisis and creativity in British media, society, and culture, when the settled outcome of the Second World War (WW2) was perceived to be disintegrating. The post-world-war order was becoming an ‘order in ruins’. The thesis centres on a far-reaching analysis of the making of The World at War (WAW) in the early 1970s. A hugely popular televised documentary ser

Background: Well-developed vocabulary skills are crucial for academic success. Students having the language of instruction as a second language and students from lower socioeconomic backgrounds often have lower performance on vocabulary assessments. Teachers play an important role in supporting the vocabulary development of all students, regardless of background and educational needs.Aims: To inve

Uppsatsen har sin utgångspunkt i det slutbetänkande 2014 års sexualbrottskommitté presenterade i oktober 2016. Fokus blir på de direktiv sexualbrottskommittén fick för att undersöka och ta fram ett förslag till en sexualbrottslagstiftning, som bygger på samtycke samt om och hur en oaktsamhetsbestämmelse skulle kunna utformas. Första delen av uppsatsen belyser lagstiftningsreformen från 2005, vilThe essay is based on the final report the 2014 Sexual Offences Committee presented in October 2016. Focus will be on those directives the 2014 Sexual Offences Committee was given in order to examine and develop a proposal to a sexual offence legislation built on consent and if and how a negligent regulation could be formed. The first part of the essay illustrates the legislative reform from the

From the moment a government entity makes the decision to initiate a procurement procedure until that procedure is finalized through the award of a contract to a winning supplier, the procuring entity’s course of action is regulated in great detail by relevant public procurement legislation which for Swedish contracting authorities primarily consists of primarily law (2016:1145) on public procurem

Background The Company produces and sells specialised products and technical solutions worldwide through more than ten different technology-based and decentralised Business Units. While the "Business continuity management"-programme has been implemented throughout the Company for many years, many of the Business Units' "disaster recovery"-capabilities had not been tested un

Although primarily targeting the respiratory system, coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) also manifests with central nervous system (CNS)-related symptoms in up to 80% of the patients. Little is known not only about SARS-CoV-2 neuropathology, but also about the clinical course of pre-existing CNS autoimmune disease and concurrent SARS-CoV-2-infection. Multiple sclerosis (MS) is the most frequent

Moral distress in nursing is a widely-acknowledged phenomenon that has been linked to decreased patient care, burnouts and job turnover. Thereby, it is often described by quantitative studies which lack insights in feelings and perceptions of affected nurses. Our thesis approached the phenomenon differently by interpreting narratives. These were identified through a qualitative study in cooperatio

Sustainable forest management requires accurate and up-to-date baseline data regarding forest structural parameters and the definition of forest stand units. A crucial component in stand characterization is the identification of tree species and to correctly define the stand boundaries. The most common procedure used for this is land cover classification using remote sensing data. However, when cl

Electronic products consist of substances that can be harmful to human health and the environment if exposed or leaked during the product use and end-of-life phases. Full Material Disclosure (FMD), which usually requires suppliers to disclose on the concentrations or masses of all substances in a product, is one method of increasing supply chain transparency on chemicals in products. This case stu

Cities will contain 70% of global populations by 2050, signalling the need to pursue solution-oriented approaches for sustainability challenges. Urban Living Labs are emerging as solution-based interventions, and share commonalities with efforts of sustainability science to broaden research for societal change alongside various actor sets. Currently there is a recognised lack of dedicated research
