Perifera venkatetrar (PVK) tillhör de mest använda medicinska produkterna i världen. De innebär dock en infart direkt till blodbanan, med ökad infektionsrisk. I Sverige har det fram till 2005 varit rutin att PVK’er ska bytas var 12-24 timme. Därefter har studier publicerats som visat att en PVK som sitter i upp till 72 timmar inte är förenat med mer komplikationer. Detta under förutsättning att de

Recycling station is hardly a space imbued with neutrality. Hannah Arendt observed: "public space is where a people's dominant ethos of self is decided, normalized and regulated."(1985). Normality and dominant ethos of the society are patently advocated and promoted in the recycling station, in other words, the recycling station implies within it a normative way of behavior which is

Utgångspunkt för denna kandidatuppsats i sociologi har varit att undersöka om det risktänkande som beskrivs av Ulrich Becks i hans teori om risksamhället kan urskiljas hos personer som har generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) översatt till svenska med generaliserat ångestsyndrom. Studien har utförts med en kvalitativ ansats i form av delvis strukturerade intervjuer som har genomförts med fyra män i

Reportaget skildrar hur den svenska invandringen till Minnesota har påverkat och fortfarande påverkar delar av samhället och hur det tar sig uttryck i olika situationer. Synen på Sverige och vad svenskhet är enligt svenskättlingar i Minnesota lyfts fram och belyses.

There has been a heavy decrease in biodiversity due to different kinds of exploitations in society, contributing to a more homogenous landscape. With this homogenization the variety of important biotopes in the plains has disappeared. This is not only a disadvantage to the species themselves, but to the farmers, land owners and the society due to a loss of ecosystem services. While many lesser bi

Arsenic is an element and has a natural part in the earth with a content of 1,5-2,0 mg/kg in the earth crust. Arsenic occurs naturally in the bedrock and the Swedish bedrock contains anything from 1,0-40 mg/kg. Arsenic is more poisonous in its inorganic form than in its organic. The two most common types of inorganic arsenic are arsenite and arsenate. Arsenite (AsIII) is the most acute poisonous

The concept of sustainability for music festivals is increasingly important. Music festivals are associated with both environmental and social aspects through its impact on people attending the festival as well as its surroundings and nature. Until recently there has not been much guidance offered to help manage the environmental and social aspects of festivals. The guidance offered today has it’s

The raising of fur animals is generally a polluting activity, today and historically. This study is focused on the breeding of minks. I concluded that this is an industry that has significantly polluting places it have been active on. The main and most interesting source of contamination is the use of pesticides, which always has been frequently used. The pesticides used often entail very high ris

The environmental impacts of pulp and paper industry are widespread and affect both air and water quality. The resulting large quantities of wastewater from the process are containing pollutants to aquatic organisms. To minimize the environmental impacts the wastewater is passed through an external biological treatment facility that reduces substances. In the process of bleaching sulphate pulp, c

Detta examensarbete är en inledande studie av huruvida det finns ett motiv att förändra extremspänningsautomatiken i det Svenska stamnätet. Arbetet beskriver hur inställningarna påverkar spänningsstabiliteten i ett elkraftsystem. Genom realtidssimulering med ARISTO i NORDIC32-svedala har dynamiska analyser av spänningsförlopp gjorts för sju stycken olika kopplingsstrategier. Principerna bakom dessThis master thesis is a pilot study on what impact different strategies for automatic switching of reactive shunts have on voltage stability in an electric power system. A dynamic analysis has been performed through real-time simulations in ARISTO on the NORDIC32-svedala system. Seven different switching strategies are examined in two different but common scenarios for the Nordic power system. The

Kärleken är en grundnorm inom kristendomen. För att som kristen kunna bygga en etik och värdegrund baserad på kärlek, måste kärleken diskuteras på ett teologiskt plan. Traditionellt sett har synen på kärleken inom kristendomen varit delad. Man har talat om mänsklig kärlek och Guds kärlek. Teorier kring skillnaden mellan dessa har legat som grund för många människors syn på kärleken ur en kristen aLove is one of the cornerstones of Christianity. In order for Christians to build ethics and values based on love, love must be discussed on a theological level. Traditionally, the Christian perspective on love has been a split one, distinguishing between human love and the love of God. Theories relating to the differences between these have made up the foundation upon which many people base their

Denna uppsats vill bidra till ämnet teologisk metod, och undersöker hur soteriologi integreras i systematisk teologi, dvs. hur talet om frälsning, som teologiskt delämne, relaterar till en komplex teologisk helhet. Soteriologi är präglat av mångfald, vilket är både nödvändigt och önskat. Jag anser att det finns (minst) fyra vägledande koncept som är involverade när soteriologi integreras i systemaWith this essay, I try to contribute to the field of methodology, and study how soteriology is integrated into systematic theology, i.e., how the way the talk about salvation, as a part of theology, relates to a complex theological whole. Soteriology is diverse, which is both necessary and desired. In this essay, I argue that there are (at least) four guiding notions at work when soteriology is in

Denna uppsats innehåller i huvudsak en redogörelse och analys av Gustaf Auléns försoningsteologi. Därutöver innehåller uppsatsen en kortfattad redogörelse av befrielseteologen Leonardo Boffs tankar om försoning, med syfte att ge underlag för en analys av Gustaf Auléns försoningsteologi utifrån ett befrielseteologiskt perspektiv. I uppsatsen förs också en diskussion om hur olika uppfattningar om gu

This study uses Gérard Genettes theories on transtextuality in an attempt to open up the meaning of Tage Aurell's (1895–1976) "Sommarspel" from the short story collection Nya berättelser (1949). The relations between the short story and earlier texts, such as the biblical myths about David and Goliath, and David and Batsheba; a poem by Dan Andersson; and an excerpt from the operetta
