Mobility constitutes an important aspect in order to create quality of life, where a well working public transportation can decrease the level of stress and create more “flow” in the everyday life (Atkins 2009). However, not all individuals have the mobility prerequisites; for people with disabilities, the preconditions of movement are limited. The purpose of this thesis is to examine the accessi

It consists in an original attempt to engage all groups and individuals by setting targets to be met over the incoming 15 years. One of the biggest innovations of the SDGs has been the consideration of the p
How we choose to invest in the future generations is becoming increasingly imperative as researchers learn more about the long-term consequences of early childhood. The early-life literature suggests that empowered mothers invest more into their children and that matrilineal females are more empowered than patrilineal counterparts. To further understand the role of female empowerment on early chil
Thin-Film Transistor (TFT) technology refers to process and manufacture transistors, circuits, Integrated circuits (ICs) using thin-film organic or metal-oxide semiconductors on different substrates, such as flexible plastic foils and rigid glass substrates. TFT technology is attractive and used for applications requiring flexible, ultrathin ICs to enable seamless integration into devices. TFT t
Anaerobic digestion (AD) of minimal nutrient-supplemented wheat straw and digestate liquor recycle was evaluated in semi-continuous processes using a novel BioReactor Simulator developed for easy accurate online normalised-gas measurement. Three scenarios (i) no recycle (NR), (ii) recycle of soluble nutrient (RSN), and (iii) recycle of nutrient and microbes (RNM) were investigated in order to eval
Analyses assessed the degrees to which personality accounts for associations between marital quality and parenting and mediates genetic contributions to these relationships. Participants included 318 male and 544 female same-sex twin pairs from the Twin and Offspring Study in Sweden. All twins completed self-report measures of marital quality and personality (anxiousness, aggression, sociability).
Although Cloud Sourcing has been around for some time it could be questioned what actually is known about it. This paper presents a literature review on the specific question if Cloud Sourcing could be seen as the next generation of outsourcing. The reason for doing this is that from an initial sourcing study we found that the sourcing decisions seems to go in the direction of outsourcing as a ser
Osteopenia/osteoporosis affect many elderly people and might not be detected until symptoms of fractures occur. Early detection of osteopenia/osteoporosis is important and would allow preventive measures and treatment. Access to screening for osteopenia/osteoporosis is often limited, whereas panoramic radiography is commonly used in dentistry. The aim of this study was to determine the validity of

This paper analyzes the impact of variables suggested by the trade-off theory and the pecking order theory, on publicly listed Swedish firms in a sample period of 8 years, ranging from 2003-2010. Also the relationship between leverage and weighted average cost of capital (WACC) is studied for the same set of firms and time periods. The model used is based on panel regression with fixed and random

Den bakomliggande teorin om planetbildning är att planeterna bildas samtidigt som stjärnan och därför av samma material som stjärnan. Därför måste dessa stoft- och gaspartiklar bindas samman till planeter. Teorin säger att detta görs i en disk runt stjärnan vilken uppstår vid stjärnbildning för att bevara rörelsemängdsmomentet och sådana diskar har observerats och skulle förklara varför alla planeTurbulence which can increase the maximum particle density in some region is interesting for planet formation since the process for building up planets has some problem. Planets are formed by dust grains sticking together into planets during the star formation period and the major problem is the growth from cm to km scale. During this phase both the microscopic molecular forces and the macroscopic

Uppsatsens syfte är först och främst att besvara vilken betydelse domstolen tillerkänner umgängessabotage vid beslutande av vårdnad och hur en part som begår sabotage i slutändan kan tillerkännas ensam vårdnad, och vilka intressen som i så fall väger tyngre än sabotaget. Det är utifrån dessa frågeställningar som hela uppsatsens struktur är uppbyggd. Uppsatsen börjar med att redogöra relevanta lagrThe purpose of the essay is first and foremost to give answer to two questions, the first being how seriously the court views visitation sabotage in a custody battle, while deciding who should be awarded sole custody of the child.
