A zinc phthalocyanine with tyrosine substituents (ZnPcTyr), modified for efficient far-red/near-IR performance in dye-sensitized nanostructured TiO(2) solar cells, and its reference, glycine-substituted zinc phthalocyanine (ZnPcGly), were synthesized and characterized. The compounds were studied spectroscopically, electrochemically, and photoelectrochemically. Incorporating tyrosine groups into ph

This article analyses the consequences of using the concept of caregiving as a basis of extending social rights in the welfare state. By focusing on the administration of the right to a care allowance to a parent with a disabled child, the development of the concept of individualized justice and the use of discretion are examined. The article reveals how rights are differentially distributed throu

Hur vi väljer att organisera våra familjer har genomgått en radikal förändring sedan mitten av 1900-talet. Kärnfamiljen är visserligen fortfarande den vanligaste familjeformen, men den har i allt större utsträckning kommit att kompletteras med en rad icke-traditionella familje-konstellationer, bl.a. samkönade familjer. Den här utvecklingen har naturligtvis också påverkat hur vi lever och praktisHow we choose to organize our families has changed significantly since the mid-20th century. It might be true that the nuclear family remains the most common family form. However, it has to an increasing extent been accompanied by a number of non-traditional families, including same-sex families. Naturally, this development has also affected the way we live and how we practice family life. While

Syftet med denna uppsats var att studera verbala kränkningar som en motsvarighet till vad som beskrivs som psykisk misshandel i Lag (1990:52) med särskilda bestämmelser om vård av unga (LVU). Mitt huvudsakliga undersökningsområde var hur verbala kränkningar i hemmet hanterats vid beslut om förberedande av vård av unga med stöd av 1 och 2 §§ LVU. Jag gjorde en tematisk analys på 8 rättsfall med syfMy aim with this thesis was to study verbal abuse as an equivalent to psychological abuse in The Care of Young Persons Act (LVU). The primary focus was on verbal abuse in the home as a reason to take a child into protective custody according to LVU. I made a thematic analysis on 8 court cases, with the purpose to find how the Social welfare board and County administrative board reasoned, when it c

Virtual communities, including communities dedicated to consumption practices, were named one of the rising modern trends. With the technological development, nowadays, people do not need actual locations to meet for being friends because multiple blooming social networks allow people to stay connected 24/7 no matter where they are in this world. This technological development has many positive ef

The study focuses on how Sweden addresses CBRNE-(Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, Explosives) associated risks. A changed security environment has seen an intensive increase in CBRNE-associated risks. The aim of the study is to analyse and compare Swedish and international strategies to suggest improvements for Sweden's CBRNE preparedness, particularly in relation to the emergency

Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) systems are designed for assisting owners and operators with information and forecasts concerning the fitness for purpose of structures and building systems. The benefit associated with the implementation of SHM may in some cases be intuitively anticipated or proven by past experiences but in general there appears to be no rational or systematic approach for asse

This paper describes a structural reliability analysis utilizing monitoring data in the ultimate limit state with consideration of the uncertainties of the monitoring procedure. For this purpose the uncertainties of the monitoring data are modeled utilizing a new framework for the determination of measurement uncertainties. The approach is based on a process equation and statistical models of obse

How can we understand the patterns and contours of audiences in a mixed media environment? I’m curious about the tracks people make as they become aware of themselves as constituting an audience. These tracks include the way we listen to a soundtrack and relate this to the narrative in a drama; listening can help us find our way through storytelling, signposting how we relate to broader themes and

We study the radial migration of stars as a function of orbital action as well as the structural properties of a large suite of N-body simulations of isolated disc galaxies. Our goal is to establish a relationship between the radial migration efficiency of stars and their vertical action. We aim to describe how that relationship depends on the relative gravitational dominance between the disc and

Immune cell-derived cytotoxic pathways have been implicated in antitumor immune responses. The goal of this study is to characterize how these cytotoxic pathways influence ovarian cancer development. We have utilized the TgMISIIR-TAg transgenic mouse model which expresses the transforming SV40 TAg in the ovary, leading to spontaneous development of ovarian tumors that closely mimic human epithelia

BACKGROUND: Obesity is a major risk factor for heart failure (HF). However, individuals with similar body mass index (BMI), the main diagnostic measure of obesity, exhibit considerable heterogeneity in developing HF.OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to investigate the association between metabolically discordant subgroups characterized by cardiometabolic biomarkers deviated from those predicted by BMI

The industrial cities of the twentieth century were intimately dependent on and characterized by migration. This chapter focuses on describing and analyzing migration flows and migrant characteristics in relation to the general economic development of the industrial city of Landskrona. During the first decades of the century, migration tended to be circular between the city and the countryside. Mi

Feedback control is increasingly being applied in server systems to make them more robust and efficient. This includes managing quality of service, minimizing power consumption, and adapting to varying workloads. Successful adaptation and control in turn relies on accurate tracking of workload variations and timely detection of changes in the computing infrastructure. Given that server systems are

This paper discusses which freehand drawing skills a designer needs in the 21st century and why not more people are using sketching as a creative tool. Are design schools teaching the adequate skills needed today? In the past 5-10 years focus has shifted from product design to experience design and the skills needed to make high end drawings might not be needed to the same extent. 3D computational
