This paper draws attention to the potential benefits of using photographs in combination with interviews, that is to say photo elicitation. As defined by Harper (2002), photo elicitation is “based on the simple idea of inserting a photograph into a research interview” (p. 13). The photographs can be taken by the researcher or the participant to evoke comments. If participants are asked to produce
This dissertation examines socio-economic outcomes of first and second generation immigrants in Denmark and adds to our understanding of different trajectories of immigrant integration by studying policy and family relatedfactors. The association between family composition and socio-economic outcomes of the individual is in this thesis examined by studying the effects of intermarriage. Comparably
Background: Totally implantable venous access devices (TIVADs) have improved the quality of life for seriously ill and cancer patients. These devices represent a convenient option when long-term venous access is indicated. The Subclavian and Internal Jugular Veins are the vessels of choice for catheterization [1]. However, if it is not possible to catheterize them, an alternative vein should be so
The main goal with this thesis is to develop a method to maximize the fuel efficiency [ton/l] in construction machines, while fulfilling the desired productivity [ton/h]. This is achieved by focusing on two of the main influencers; the machine concept evaluation and the development of operator assist systems. To be able to perform a concept evaluation that is unbiased from control engineering expe
BACKGROUND: There is a gap in knowledge on long term pace of population aging acceleration and related net-migration rate changes in WHO European Region and its adjacent MENA countries. We decided to compare European Union (EU-28) region with the EU Near Neighborhood Policy Region East and EU Near Neighborhood Policy Region South in terms of these two essential features of third demographic transi
BACKGROUND/AIM: High morbidity and mortality rates, chronic course of disease and numerous clinical complications, make diabetes mellitus (DM) type 2 bear significant financial burden for healthcare system of Serbia. The aim of this study was to compare true disease-related expenses measured in the random sample of patients originating from the Central Serbia in 2007 and national estimate of total
Neurotrophic factors are candidates for treating epilepsy, but their development has been hampered by difficulties in achieving stable and targeted delivery of efficacious concentrations within the desired brain region. We have developed an encapsulated cell technology that overcomes these obstacles by providing a targeted, continuous, de novo synthesized source of high levels of neurotrophic mole

Denna studie har som huvudsyfte att undersöka hur organisationer arbetar med flyktingbarn och på vilket sätt en pedagog med skapande inriktning (till exempel en musiklärare) kan arbeta för att förbättra flyktingbarns situation i Sverige och i världen. Studien utgår från tre intervjuer med människor som är aktiva inom tre olika organisationer i Sverige. Dessutom tar studien upp integrationsprojekte
Den som är utsatt för hot eller om det föreligger särskilda skäl att anta att man kan bli utsatt för brott eller är utsatt för allvarlig brottslighet, kan få skyddade personuppgifter. Det finns tre olika former av skyddade personuppgifter: sek-retessmarkering, skyddad folkbokföring och fingerade personuppgifter, varav de två första är vanligast. Den största delen av de som lever med någon form av Individuals who are subject to threats, or if there are specific reasons to be- lieve that they may be subjected to crime, or are victims of serious crime, may receive protected identity. There are three different kinds of protected iden- tity: confidentiality marking, protected population register data and new iden- tity details, where the first two types are the most prevalent. The majority of t
The aviation industry is a contributor to the global greenhouse gas emissions. Moving away from fossil-based fuels has proven to be more difficult than expected. One possibility for the aviation industry is the development of sustainable aviation fuels (SAFs), produced from renewable sources such as biomass and waste. Certain problems have been discovered with using SAFs, however. The fuels are us
Parkinson’s disease is a neurodegenerative disorder that results in the death of dopaminergic neurons. The death of dopaminergic neurons results in motor deficits of which bradykinesia, resting tremor, and rigidity are the principal symptoms. In addition to the motor symptoms, PD patients often experience disturbances to their gastrointestinal systems. These symptoms often appear years before the
There has been an increasing interest in wastewater treatment in last decades to reduce human footprint. Primarily, anaerobic technology focused on treatment and stabilization of sludge, but now the tendency is to give it a major role in low cost treatment of high/low strength wastewaters, since anaerobic digestion offers energy generation through gas production. Anaerobic membrane bioreactors (A
The background to this thesis is the fact that high temperature during transport and storage, degrade the glucose of peritoneal dialysis fluid (PD-fluid), into a toxic substance. Research at Gambro has shown that exposure to high temperatures can destroy the PD-fluid in just a few hours, requiring months to repair. With this knowledge it became important to monitor the temperature, and evaluate wh
The aim of the thesis is to explore the relevance and the values related to physical books for students in the library room. The thesis addresses questions of how students use the physical books in the library room and if the physical books are perceived by the students as a source of formal and informal learning and serendipity. It will also try to find out what impact physical books have on stud
In the spring of 1945, survivors of the Nazi concentration camps arrived in southern Sweden. A project was launched to collect eye-witness accounts of their experiences and document them for posterity. The scholar in charge of this project was Sture Bolin, professor of history at Lund University After his death Erik Lonnroth hailed him as a 'world-famous' historian. By the turn of the century he w
Background: While energy communities working on electricity provision have been extensively studied, thermal energy communities (TECs) focusing on bringing district heating (DH) systems to decarbonise heat systems in buildings have been relatively under-researched. This study addresses this gap by presenting the first comprehensive examination of key factors influencing the emergence and developme
Background and objective: The European Council advises evaluating the feasibility of organized prostate cancer testing (OPT) programs, but it is unclear whether results from screening trials can be replicated in population-based testing. The aim of this study is to compare magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) assessments and biopsy outcomes with and without a central review in two Swedish OPT programs
Resilience, the ability to withstand or adapt to altered conditions, gets more important as the grave effects of climate change intensify. Individuals’ capacities to respond to disasters are strongly connected to their social capital (e.g. relationships and networks). The aim of this paper is to contribute to the understanding of this connection at a neighborhood level. In the first part of this p
Föreliggande uppsats utreder förändringen från den 26 mars 2021 avseende den bredare tillämpningen av artikel 22 koncentrationsförordningen och undersöker de osäkerhetsmoment som därigenom uppstår för parter i företagsförvärv. Förändringen innebär ett tydligt avsteg från den Europeiska kommissionens väletablerade praxis i tillämpningen av bestämmelsen. Denna kursändring får som konsekvens att kritThe present thesis examines the changes from the 26th of March 2021 regarding the wider application of article 22 of the EC Merger Regulation, and examines the uncer-tainties that thereby arise for parties in certain mergers and acquisitions (M&A). The change constitutes a clear parting from the European Commission’s own, well-estab-lished practice regarding the application of the provision. T
