Sustainable development “which meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs,” (WCED 1987) is a global development objective of paramount importance. However, on the ground, ‘sustainable development’ is – in my experience – often little more than a buzzword for securing grants. From a strong sus-tainability standpoint, this thesis doc

Syftet med denna uppsats har varit att undersöka hur de senaste årens effektivisering inom socialpolitiken förändrat socialtjänsten och dess arbete, med utgångspunkt i Försäkringskassans ändrade regler. Försäkringskassans nya regler som trädde i kraft i juli 2008, har inneburit att sjukpenningen är begränsad till ett år. Regeringen har på så sätt implementerat arbetslinjen i sjukförsäkringen så tiThe purpose of this essay has been to investigate how the latest years of effectiveness in social politics has changed the social services and their work with starting point in the changed rules for social insurance in form of sickness leave. The new rules which emerged in July 2008 have meant that sickness benefits is limited to one year. This occurred in the time when labour market policy become

Focusing on the norm: A study of social workers’ attitudes towards norms and a norm-critical approach. [translated title] Norms are constantly present in our society and affects us all by narrowing our view of each other and limiting people’s possibilities. Norms concerning social categories such as gender, sexuality, ethnicity and disabilities divide people into different categories based on pre

Author: Choban, Azal and Roos, Marie-Christine Title: ”Att skaffa barn som psykisk sjuk är det mest själviska man kan göra.”- en kvalitativ undersökning av att växa upp med psykisk sjuka föräldrar Supervisor: Arne Kristiansen Assessor: Anders Östnäs The aim of our essay was to study how children of parents with mental illness grow up and how this affects them in later life. We also wanted to see

The housing market in Sweden today has submitted to the rules of commercial markets. The de-mand is rising while the supply is decreasing; pushing rents to go up. The interest in building apartment blocks is low due to high costs and low revenue. Prior to 1991 private actors was encouraged to enter the housing market through tax revenues and loan subventions and through Public-Private Partnerships

Even though the coordinated inventory control is becoming more well-known, it is relative unused by companies, whose advantages of using it should be obvious. This master thesis illustrates the result of using coordinated inventory control compared to a currently used non-coordinated inventory control. There exist precise coordinated methods for control of a multi-echelon inventory system, but the

Since the demands for energy efficient buildings becomes higher and higher it is interesting to look at how we use our energy inside the buildings. Approximately 87% of all energy used inside a house is used for heat, a good way to lower our energy use would therefore be to lower the amount of energy needed for heat. Today there are several different types of heating systems, some regarded more en

This diploma work has shown that it is possible to generate engineered stainless steel nanoparticles using a spark discharge generator (SDG) with a selectable size in the size range 20-70 nm in diameter. The generated particles have similar composition as the electrodes used, although further studies are needed to verify if this is true for all particles generated. If this is true, it would be pos

Nowadays, multiple antennas are becoming widely used in small mobile terminals as they can significantly improve wireless communication performance in terms of link reliability and spectral efficiency. Also, pattern reconfiguration is another new trend for antenna design as it enables the antennas to adapt to different propagation and user scenarios. However, due to the limited space in the termin

The increasing complexity of software applications and architectures in Internet services challenge the reasoning of operators tasked with diagnosing and resolving outages and degradations as they arise. Although a growing body of literature focuses on how failures can be prevented through more robust and fault-tolerant design of these systems, a dearth of research explores the cognitive challenge

Denna rapport redogör för design och utveckling av ett medicintekniskt instrument för diagnos av kronisk obstruktiv lungsjukdom (KOL) eller emfysem. Arbetet utgår ifrån en ny diagnosmetod och ett instrument i form av en funktionell prototyp som används för att testa den nya diagnosmetoden. Med utgångspunkt i den funktionella prototypen har arbetet fokuserats kring att förstå vilka problem och utmThis thesis presents design and development of a medical device for diagnosis of emphysema or COPD by controlled lung deposition of nanoparticles. After purging the lungs with particle free air the subject inhales a controlled aerosol mixture and holds his breath for a determined period of time, before exhaling. The degree of lung disease is calculated by measuring and comparing the concentration

Lunds kommun utforskar möjligheter för ett digitaliserat samhälle och därför bestod detta arbete av en behovskartläggning inom kommunens LSS-verksamhet unIkT. Kartläggningen involverade personer med autismspektrumtillstånd där deras väsentliga behov som saknade stöd, skulle tillfredsställas med hjälp av en digital lösning. Datainsamlingen inkluderade bland annat intervjuer och brainstorming med uThe municipality of Lund is in the process of exploring opportunities for a digital society. This work consisted of a need’s assessment within the municipality’s inclusive community setting unIkT. The mapping involved individuals with autism spectrum disorder, and how their essential needs could be satisfied with the help of a digital solution. The data gathering included interviews and brainstor

Uppmaningen till att leva hållbart genomsyrar samhället, fast en övergång till hållbara liv är långt ifrån verklighet. Genom att förstå hur individer ser på hållbara liv i relation till välmående kan potentiellt hjälpa människor i övergången till mer hållbara liv. Den här studien var förregistrerad till undersöka valensen av individers syn på en hållbar livsstil, och hur denna synen relaterar tillThe call for living sustainably can be seen in many places throughout society, although a transition towards sustainable lifestyles is far from a reality. Understanding how people view sustainable living in relation to well-being can potentially help individuals in the transition to live more sustainably. This study was pre-registered to examine the valence of how people view sustainable lifestyle

Objective: Children with speech sound disorders (SSDs) have difficulties affecting different levels of speech production. For treatment to be beneficial, it is important to differentiate between Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS)–a motor speech disorder with deficits in speech praxis–and other SSDs (nonCAS-SSD). We have previously developed a motor speech examination Dynamisk motorisk talbedömning

Background and purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate whether treatment information from medical records can be used to estimate radiation doses to heart and lungs retrospectively in pediatric patients receiving spinal irradiation with conventional posterior fields. Material and methods: An algorithm for retrospective dosimetry in children treated with spinal irradiation was develop

Background: To describe life-space mobility and explore associations of motor and non-motor symptoms with life-space mobility in people with Parkinson’s disease (PD).Methods: About 164 community-dwelling persons with PD (mean age 71.6 years, 64.6% men) received a postal survey and a subsequent home visit. Motor assessments included perceived walking difficulties (Walk-12G), mobility (Timed Up and
