The object aim of this study was to examine how the people that work on schools look upon their school programs against bullying. We also want to compare the circumstance and the differences between Olweus, an evidence-based practice, highly structured program, and other existing methods of program. Schools nowadays are by law obligated to work actively against discrimination, insults and bullying
I denna uppsats undersöks huruvida det av Liberalerna föreslagna gottgörande arbetet som disciplinåtgärd i grundskolan är förenligt med det rättighetsskydd som stadgas i svensk rätt, genom RF och SkolL, och det rättighetsskydd som stadgas i EKMR genom artiklarna 4 och 14. Det saknas utrymme för gottgörande arbete som disciplinåtgärd i nuvarande SkolL. I SkolL stadgas att barnets bästa ska beaktaThis paper examines whether the compensatory labour proposed by the Swedish Liberal Party as a disciplinary measure in elementary school is compatible with the protection of rights enshrined in Swedish law, through the Constitution and the Education Act, and the protection of rights enshrined in the European Convention on Human Rights through Articles 4 and 14. There is no provision for compensa
Ett förändrat nederbördsklimat i kombination med ökade trafikbelastningar ställer nya krav på vägkonstruktioners utformning och funktion. Syftet med denna litteraturstudie är att undersöka hur vägkonstruktioner påverkas av kraftig nederbörd och tung belastning, samt att analysera skillnader mellan moderna och äldre konstruktioner avseende lastupptagning och vattenhantering. Vidare behandlas hur daA changing precipitation pattern, characterized by shorter but more intense rainfall events, combined with increasing traffic loads, places new demands on road construction design and performance. The aim of this literature study is to investigate how road structures are affected by heavy rainfall and increased loading, as well as to analyse differences between modern and older road constructions
Karst caves are known to buffer external climatic variability and track annual temperature and humidity means, yet little is understood about how this buffering extends beyond cave interiors or whether it influences vegetation patterns at cave entrances. This pilot study investigates microclimate (temperature, relative humidity and derived vapour pressure deficit) and vegetation patterns (Shannon
Air emissions are becoming a larger problem in today’s society and therefore the limits are getting stricter. This means that chemical-producing industries which create multiple byproducts, acting like air pollutants, requires to improve their emission limiting systems. Johnson Matthey Formox AB is a company who sells licenses and catalysts for formaldehyde production by the FORMOXTM process. Prod
Detta examensarbete undersöker hur materialanvändningen i platsgjutna betongbjälklag och betongväggar i flerbostadshus kan minskas genom att separera den bärande betongen från funktioner som inte behöver lösas inom själva den bärande konstruktionsdelen. Studien motiveras av betongbyggandets höga klimatpåverkan och av indikationer på att materialanvändningen i betongkonstruktioner har ökat över tidThis thesis investigates how material use in cast in situ concrete slabs and walls for multi-storey residential buildings can be reduced by separating the load-bearing concrete from functions that do not have to be solved within the structural member itself. The study is motivated by the high climate impact of concrete construction and by indications that material use in concrete structures has in
Background: Surface electromyography is commonly used to elucidate the effect of anterior cruciate ligament injury on neuromuscular function. For comparisons, electromyography is normalized to a known value, such as peak activation during maximum voluntary isometric contractions. However, a knee injury may compromise one's ability to achieve a true maximal effort. A simple musculoskeletal model ma
OBJECTIVE: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and coronary artery disease (CAD) are leading causes of global morbidity and mortality. There is a well-known comorbidity between COPD and CAD, which is only partly explained by smoking and other known common risk factors. In order to better understand the relationship between COPD and CAD, we analyzed myocardial perfusion, pulmonary function
Measures of change in hippocampal volume derived from longitudinal MRI are a well-studied biomarker of disease progression in Alzheimer's disease (AD) and are used in clinical trials to track therapeutic efficacy of disease-modifying treatments. However, longitudinal MRI change measures based on deformable registration can be confounded by MRI artifacts, resulting in over-estimation or underestima
Cryptosystems based on the learning with errors (LWE) problem are assigned a security level that relates to the cost of generic algorithms for solving the LWE problem. This includes at least the so-called primal and dual lattice attacks. In this paper, we present an improvement of the dual lattice attack using an idea that can be traced back to work by Bleichenbacher. We present an improved distin
BACKGROUND: Lymph node metastasis is the single most important prognostic risk factor for recurrence in patients with colon cancer who have undergone curative surgery. The routine method for detecting disseminated tumor cells in lymph nodes is microscopic examination of one or a few hematoxylin and eosin-stained tissue sections by a trained pathologist. This method, however, is insensitive mainly
As the global power generation is shifted toward renewable and intermittent sources, the importance of fuel cells and other energy storage and conversion devices is continually increasing. However, many of these technologies are still under development and further research is necessary before they can be implemented. This is the case for the hydroxide exchange membrane fuel cell (HEMFC), which has
Background and Objectives: Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are proteases with different biological and pathological activities, and many have been linked to several diseases. Targeting individual MMPs may offer a safer therapeutic potential for several diseases. We assessed the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of FP-025, a novel, highly selective oral matrix metalloproteinase-12 inhibit
Lung transplantation is the only option for end-stage lung diseases, but organ shortage remains problematic. Generating lungs ex vivo could overcome shortages with current approaches being explored for lung tissue engineering utilizing a biologically derived, synthetic or hybrid scaffold which is seeded with cells and cultured ex vivo. Ideally, cells could be sourced from the transplant recipient
The Aim of this research is to analyze how the socio-demographic characteristics of users of Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) in Serbia influence and impact their consumption of OTC drugs. Respondents and methods: The study employed the third edition of the National Health Survey of the Republic of Serbia, published in 2013, as a data source covering the Serbian population. The sample
The active site of sulfite reductase (SiR) consists of an unusual siroheme–Fe4S4 assembly coupled via a cysteinate sulfur, and serves for multi-electron reduction reactions. Clear explanations have not been demonstrated for the reasons behind the choice of siroheme (vs. other types of heme) or for the single-atom coupling to an Fe4S4 center (as opposed to simple adjacency or to coupling via chains
The annual growth cycle of boreal trees is synchronized with seasonal changes in photoperiod and temperature. A warmer climate can lead to an earlier bud burst and increased risk of frost damage caused by temperature backlashes. In this study we analysed site- and provenance specific responses to interannual variation in temperature, using data from 18 Swedish and East-European provenances of Norw
Background: Bilberries from Sweden, rich in polyphenols, have shown cholesterol-lowering effects in small studies, and the cholesterol-lowering properties of oats, with abundant beta-glucans and potentially bioactive phytochemicals, are well established. Both may provide cardiometabolic benefits following acute myocardial infarction (AMI), but large studies of adequate statistical power and approp
Background: Women with current or previous drug use (WCPDU) have an increased risk of poor breast and cervical cancer outcomes. Screening is known to decrease the mortality of these common cancer forms, but screening participation has been sparsely investigated among women with drug dependency. The aim of this study was to assess participation in screening for breast and cervical cancer among WCPD
