Due to the lack of a commonly required education amongst street-level bureaucrats in supported housing, the focus of this study was to analyse how the street-level bureaucrats in supported housing experienced their work and education. We were also interested in how they felt their knowledge and skills were utilized in their organizations. In the last decade, the number of supported housing efforts
This report describes the product development process of a new product series of camera housings, adapted for modular applications. The purpose of the project was to develop a module containing a wiper, adapted for outdoor camera housings. The master thesis was performed at Axis Communications AB, a leading company in the surveillance camera industry. The camera housings of outdoor surveillance ca
In today´s society, it is obvious to travel in a convenient and simple way around the world. Unfortunately the development of the compatibility for the railway between nations is behind in the EU. This is a problem that has been observed in Europe and every year, much money is spent to secure cross-border transports. TEN-T EA is an organization that was founded for the EU member states to apply fo
Supersymmetri (SUSY) är en av de teoretiskt bäst motiverade modellerna för fysik bortom standardmodellen (BSM), och en lovande kandidat för upptäckt vid Large Hadron Collider (LHC). ATLAS-kollaborationen har utfört omfattande sökningar efter SUSY-signaturer med hjälp av data från proton-proton kollisioner i LHC, tagna under 2010, 2011 och 2012 års tid vid energier på 7 TeV och mer nyligen 8 TeV. DSupersymmetry (SUSY) is one of the best theoretically motivated beyond the Standard Model (BSM) scenarios, and a favored candidate to be discovered by the experiments at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The ATLAS collaboration has been extensively searching for SUSY signatures using 2010, 2011 and 2012 data from LHC proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 7 TeV and recently at 8 TeV
Package Prototyping is a group within Tetra Pak R & D in Lund. Package Prototyping is producing different types package prototypes for different purposes. The sealing of the package prototypes is made with various sealing methods, in different sealing rigs, depending on package material. Package Prototyping has had problems with the quality of the package prototypes and have been searching for
Contrary to what often is implied I believe that autonomous action does not have to be morally or rationally justifiable or performed from volitions that are conscious to the agent. If we are to analyze personal autonomy it follows from the above that we need a supplementary concept to include actions that are based on unconscious or preconscious desires as well as non-moral values as possible con
Introduction: The Elekta Synergy machine for external beam radiation therapy is equipped with an x-ray tube for on-line kV imaging and correction of the patient setup. The system can provide both 2D and 3D data for image guided radiotherapy (IGRT). Different aspects of the imaging system (called XVI) has been evaluated, such as image quality, flex of the gantry rotation, accuracy for patient setup
Abstract Background Gene expression signatures hold promise for a molecularly driven division of primary breast cancer with clinical implications. A gap still remains in the application/validation of such signatures in actual clinical treatment groups from unselected, population-based, primary breast cancer receiving current standard of care therapy. We analyzed classification proportions and ovBackground Gene expression signatures hold promise for a molecularly driven division of primary breast cancer with clinical implications. A gap still remains in the application/validation of such signatures in actual clinical treatment groups from unselected, population-based, primary breast cancer receiving current standard of care therapy.

In China, a large private sector has evolved alongside a still sizeable state-owned sector that is subject to government control. Several studies have found that in this mixed economy, the private sector is economically more efficient than the state-owned sector. In this paper, we investigate whether private firms are also more carbon efficient than state-owned firms. Using a macroeconomic panel dIn China, a large private sector has evolved alongside a still sizeable state-owned sector that is subject to government control.

Popular Abstract in Swedish När ett barn föds före graviditetsvecka 30 är andningsinsufficiens eller på engelska kallad respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) ett av de stora kliniska problemen som barnläkaren står inför. Redan på 1920-talet förstod man att det måste finnas ett ytspänningsnedsättande ämne i lungorna och på 1950-talet fann man att för tidigt födda (prematura) barn med RDS hade brist pUsing an animal model, the thesis explores how the initial ventilation of the lungs, and surfactant therapy, should best be managed after premature birth. Material and measurements: The studies were made in newborn lambs delivered by cesarean section. Spread of exogenous surfactant was analysed by mixing it with technetium-labelled macroaggregated human serum albumin and imaging the radioactivity
Background: Late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) using magnitude inversion recovery (IR) or phase sensitive inversion recovery (PSIR) has become clinical standard for assessment of myocardial infarction (MI). However, there is no clinical standard for quantification of MI even though multiple methods have been proposed. Simple thresholds have yielded varying re

Gambling problems often coexist with various psychopathological conditions. The Hierarchical Taxonomy of Psychopathology (HiTOP; Kotov et al., 2017) offers an empirically based model to structure psychopathological symptoms into broader dimensional spectra, including internalizing (anxious-depressive), externalizing (impulsive-aggressive), and thought disorder (dissociated-psychotic) symptoms. The
This thesis investigates buyer preferences in the procurement of Internationally Transferred Mitigation Outcomes (ITMOs) under Article 6.2 of the Paris Agreement, which facilitates international cooperation through carbon markets. As ITMO markets are still in the early stages of development, uncertainties regarding regulatory frameworks, environmental integrity, and procurement strategies have eme
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to comprehend female millennial consumers’ perceptions towards lingerie brands that are categorised as ‘Brand Activist Aspirants’ compared to ‘Authentic Brand Activists’. Methodology: As this research focuses on studying consumers’ perceptions, a subjective social constructionist view was taken. By using an abductive approach, an exploratory qualitative resear
Nature-based solutions (NbS) have proven effective in addressing urban sustainability challenges. This thesis focuses on bridging the gap in NbS short-term interventions, scale, and financial barriers. It examines the instrumentalization and implementation of successful long-term interventions from a policy and urban governance perspective, aiming to inspire cities and identify commonalities. The
