Genom djupintervjuer med aktiva webbpoeter och analys av hemsidan för webbpoesiforumet Sockerdricka belyser uppsatsen hur publiceringsmediet formar författarrollen.

In this study, we explored the implications of a groundwater development project on women's workload and their experience of marital violence in a Bangladesh village. We believe that the project facilitated irrigation water but also that it resulted in seasonal domestic water shortages. Men used deep motorized pumps for irrigation, and women used shallow handpumps for domestic purposes. Many handp

There is an undefined area in the method to calculate new participatory shares in a joint facility of roads. The boundary between residential and agricultural property units is unclear in the method since the change of law of property formation in 1991 and 1994 when large residential property units and small agricultural property units were allowed. Before the residential property units could not

Factory produced chicken meat has the lowest climate impact and domesticated poultry, (Gallus gallus), is the world's most commonly bred animal. In Sweden the production of poultry is increasing, also the size of an average facility with chickens is increasing. Vision is their dominant sense organ and the vision is important for the animals to be able to explore their environment and search fo

The 2011 UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGPs) introduced human rights due diligence (HRDD) as a societal expectation to businesses to implement a new kind of due diligence risk management process to ‘know and show’ they respect human rights. Ten years later, mandatory human rights due diligence (mHRDD) legislation imposing a legal duty to carry out HRDD has become mainstream

Efter att ha sett allt fler ladugårdar som förfaller bestämde jag mig för att göra ett arbete om just denna byggnad. Jag ville undersöka vad ladugården är och hur det kan vara möjligt att bevara och ta hand om den. Genom att skaffa kunskap om ladugårdens historia ville jag få en fördjupad insikt om vad dessa byggnader egentligen har för betydelse. Med hjälp av referensprojekt och genom att gestalAfter seeing more and more barns decaying, I decided to make a project about this particular building. I wanted to investigate what the barn is and how it may be possible to preserve and take care of it in the future. By gaining knowledge about the barn’s history, I got a in - depth insight into what these buildings really mean. By looking at reference projects and by transforming a existing barn,

This study is a literature review of three market-based instruments used for land management; environmental offsets, payments for ecosystem services (PES) and certification, and how they could be used to mitigate environmental impacts from sugarcane cultivation in Brazil when purchasing biopolymers. The study showed that certification is the most common market-based instrument in Brazil. Offset an

I takt med att Sverige strävar efter att uppnå klimatneutralitet har återvinning av schaktmassor fått ökad betydelse. Vikten av samordning mellan olika bygg- och anläggningsprojekt har lyfts för att öka den cirkulära masshanteringen. Lokalt belägna återvinningsanläggningar för massor har angetts som ett sätt att underlätta återvinningen av massor. Samtidigt upplevs lagstiftningen som reglerar olikThe management of excavated materials is becoming more important as Sweden works towards climate neutrality. Improved coordination between construction projects and the use of local recycling facilities are seen as key to enabling circular mass management. However, the legislation governing the establishment and operation of mass recycling facilities is perceived as unclear, particularly regarding

BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to examine whether a novel semi-automated dataset based on electronic health record documentation can be used for surveillance of central venous catheter-related mechanical complications (failed catheterisation, bleeding, cardiac arrhythmia, pneumothorax and nerve injury) within 24 hours of catheterisation.METHODS: The semi-automated dataset comprised a fully

Many seriously ill and frail older people experience a lack of practical support and meaningful social engagement. While healthcare provides good medical support, it lacks the full competence and resources to help with social, practical and existential challenges that can arise near the end-of-life. Increasingly, resources in civil society are enlisted to fill this care gap. One such attempt to br

This paper describes and discusses the development of mobile exergames for children with cerebral palsy. The design process was built on co-design, and resulted in three activity games, two augmented reality (AR) games and one GPS based game. The resulting activity games were evaluated by 8 per-sons with cerebral palsy (CP). To complement this evaluation, the games have been evaluated against exis

After the ratification of the UN Convention, Sweden has undertaken to adapt national laws so that they conform to the Convention of the Rights of the Child, CRC. Despite the ratification, the Care of Young Persons Act (LVU) allows young persons to be separated up to 24 hours by the staff at state institutions, even though it is contrary to the CRS’s 37th article. The ombudsman for children has rep

Under de senaste åren har terrorattentat i Kenya uppmärksammats och diskuterats. Efter 9/11 har Kenya blivit det land i Afrika som har klassats som en frontlinje för att bekämpa terrorismen tillsammans med USA. I samband med Kenyas terrorismbekämpning har handlingar mot somaliska flyktingar ifrågasatts och Human Rights Watch är en av de organisationer som har rapporterat om händelser under en långIn recent years, terror attacks in Kenya have been observed and discussed. After 9/11 Kenya has become the frontline of Africa, fighting terrorism alongside the United States. As a result of the fight against terrorism, questions regarding the treatment of Somalian refugees arise. Human Rights Watch is one of many organizations to rapport on such events for a period of time. With this in mind, the

The aim of this study was to describe changes in the use of accident and emergency departments in the Copenhagen Hospital Co-operation after restricted admittance to the accident and emergency department at a large Danish university hospital, Rigshospitalet (admittance only for patients transported by ambulance or presenting with a referral from a doctor).MATERIAL AND METHODS: A retrospective stud

Formalized triage has been implemented in all Danish emergency departments. The validation behind formalized triage has focused on investigating predictive validity, i.e. correspondence between triage category and different outcome measures. Reliability is primarily investigated in terms of inter-rater reliability on written patient cases, and several studies have methodological limitations questi

Transboundary research collaborations (TRCs) are critical in supporting evidence-based actions to address complex global issues. However, there is still a lack of empirics, which would detail how TRCs are organised, how activities are facilitated, and how actors interplay. In this article, we address this gap through the evaluation of a North-South TRC against the 11 principles for TRCs by the Com
