A treatment model for intermediate care in child and adolescent psychiatry is described within the framework of theories, models, treatment programmes and empirical knowledge shaping its current format. Application in practice is illustrated by three case studies, which are discussed with a view to further development of the treatment model and its included interventions. Treatment results are pre

This thesis examines the independence of the UN treaty bodies, both in its entirety and the autonomy of the individual treaty body members. Since independence is very difficult to measure empirically, this paper uses the theoretical framework of Principal-Trustee theory as a tool by which the independence can be understood. This instrument allows us to examine the independence of the treaty body s

Since the collapse of the Warszawa pact Central and Eastern European countries have changed their political agenda towards Western European countries (and the EU) by showing a political will to establish a (new) society based on Western principles and values. Simultaneously the Member states of the European Union have coordinated their foreign and security policy and shown an interest in solving d

Denna uppsats består av en analys av kapitel fyra och fem i Jacobo Machovers La dinastía Castro. Los misterios y secretos de su poder, samt av en analys av min översättning av dessa kapitel. Därefter kommenterar jag min översättning, och diskuterar några centrala översättningsproblem. Främsta fokus ligger på essäns implicita argumentation, som bl.a. utgörs av citat hämtade ur Che Guevaras ideologi

Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka hur försäkringsvillkor ska tolkas när tvist om detta uppstår mellan försäkringstagaren och försäkringsbolaget. Det finns inget klart svar på denna fråga men en rad tolkningsmetoder har utvecklats genom praxis. Till skillnad från vid vanlig avtalstolkning har den subjektiva tolkningsmetoden inte någon framträdande betydelse vid tolkning av försäkringsvillkoThe aim of this paper is to examine how insurance provisions are to be interpreted in the event of a dispute over them arising between the insured and the insurer. There is no clear answer to this question but a number of methods for interpretation have been developed in case-law. As opposed to the traditional interpretation of contracts, the subjective method of interpretation has no important ro

Abstract In this thesis we present a method for tracking a depth sensor and building a 3D model in real-time. The tracking will be done using the current estimated 3D model. We will show that this approach gives more accurate results and is more robust than the well-known KinectFusion approach. It will also be shown how to colourise the 3D model in real-time. In this work we will study different e

Background: In today’s globalized world, many producing companies depend on large supplier networks. Supplier relations require maintenance and a tool for that is supplier auditing. ABB is a leader in power and automation technologies that enable industrial customers to improve performance while lowering environmental impact. ABB business division Process Automation (PA) and business unit Control

Purpose: The purpose of the thesis is to better understand the early stage investment process, and with this deeper understanding provide Ideon Innovation with recommendations of how to improve the interactions between investors and entrepreneurs. Methodology: The thesis has been conducted with a mixture between a systems approach and an actors approach. An abductive research method has been chose

During 2011, ÅF launched a service called Green Business Screening (GBS) that provides a situation analysis of the overall environmental performance of a company. The model measures a company’s external and internal environmental integration and evaluates sustainability work through ten categories within a company, where the focus changes from internal categories to external categories. GBS is a g

Problem: The Sandvik quote system does not offer the possibility to deliver the total cost of ownership for their equipment. They have a draft model that is in need of further work and calculation follow‐ups. Purpose: The objective is to finalize the existing model for calculations and to verify the model calculations with comparisons to reality. Methodology: Some of the methods that are used in t

My intention with this project was to investigate the possibilities and difficulties with working in Vietnam as a Scandinavian designer. As a means of the investigation I was going to develop products in collaborations with local handicraft manufacturers using locally sourced materials. In the end it turned out to be so much more than only investigating possibilities and difficulties; it turned o

Right now, the world is facing the largest wave of urban growth in history. The cities depend on nature’s ecosystem to function properly. The aim is to build dense, green and sustainable. In the future we must find new ways to integrate green structure into the cities more efficiently. Green to Grey is a series of paving stones that can host vegetation. The product and the vegetation can flexibly

I uppsatsen studeras omdömen om barn som vistats på en sommarlovskoloni i Blekinge. Detta görs genom en begreppsanalys av de vanligast förekommande begreppen samt en textanalys av omdömena i sin helhet för att kunna se hur man skildrade barnens uppförande på kolonin under 1930-talet. I ett avsnitt studeras även materialet för att se om omdömena skilde sig beroende på om de tillhörde en pojke eller

The social significance of destiny in old Icelandic sagas and eddas from the thirteenth century is examined in this paper. I ask the question how destiny is explained and in what shape it is described, what it means to the characters in the sagas and how they handle the predictions of their future. The role of the gods and the creatures such as nornor and valkyrior is a central part in trying to u

Popular Science Summary The aim of this project was the synthesis of the tris-Tröger's base, a molecule with three Tröger’s base units and four aromatic rings fused together linearly. Because syn-syn-tris-Tröger's bases have a unique concave structure, the idea stands to reason, that if several bases in syn-syn conformation are combined in a linear way a helical structure will be taken. Th

Popular Science Summary The protein folding is the physical process in which a protein withdraws into its characteristic three-dimensional structure and function. Each protein begins as a linear chain of amino acids, resulted from a sequence of our genetic material, and does not have three-dimensional structure. However, each amino acid chain has certain chemical characteristics that can influence

Problemställning: Är m-modellen ett lämpligt verktyg för att utvärdera byggnader och byggnadsdelar ur ett mögelriskperspektiv? För att undvika problem med mögel i byggnader har mögelriskmodeller blivit ett allt vanligare verktyg för att bedöma sannolikheten för mögelpåväxt på ett byggnadsmaterial eller en byggnadsdel. En av de mögelriskmodeller som finns är Skanskas m-modell som ska kunna användas
