The purpose of this paper was to highlight children’s experiences of compulsory care, more commonly known as LVU (Lagen med särskilda bestämmelser om vård av barn & unga), in the Swedish child welfare system. Drawing on the principles of the child’s best interests and the child’s perspective as outlined in the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC), the study critically examines how ch
Studien syftar till att kartlägga entreprenörers anbudsprioritering och ge offentliga beställare kunskap om marknaden för att kunna anpassa sina förfrågningsunderlag. Studien har genomförts som en kvalitativ studie innehållande litteraturstudie, dokumentstudie och intervjustudie. Tre administrativa föreskrifter, AF-delar, har analyserats i dokumentstudien. I intervjustudien har både entreprenad-fThe study aims to map contractors’ bid prioritization and provide public clients with knowledge about the market to be able to adjust their tender documents. The study was conducted as a qualitative study including a literature review, document study, and an interview study. Contractual tender documents were analyzed in the document study. In the interview study, both contractors and public procu
Den juridiska termen allvarlig psykisk störning förekommer på flera områden inom den svenska lagstiftningen, i synnerhet inom straffrätten. Bedömningen av sinnessjukdom och det som idag benämns som allvarlig psykisk störning kan därjämte spåras långt tillbaka i rättshistorien. Examensarbetet berör de internationella rättshistoriska influenserna från biblisk tid fram till mitten av 1900-talet. I The legal term severe mental disorder appears in several areas of Swedish legislation, particularly within criminal law. Moreover, the assessment of insanity and what is today referred to as severe mental disorder can be traced far back in legal history. The thesis examines the international legal-historical influences from biblical times until the middle of the 1900s. In the Swedish context, th
Bygg- och fastighetssektorn står för en betydande del av samhällets klimatpåverkan, vilket har ökat fokus på hållbarhetsfrågor inom samhällsbyggandet. Kommuner har, i egenskap av markägare, en viktig roll genom möjligheten att ställa klimatkrav i markanvisningar. Samtidigt är kunskapen begränsad kring hur dessa krav påverkar exploatörers agerande, särskilt i kommersiella fastighetsprojekt. StudienThe construction and real estate sector contribute significantly to overall climate impacts, which has increased the focus on sustainability in urban development. Municipalities, as landowners, have an important role through their ability to set climate requirements in land allocation processes. At the same time, there is limited knowledge of how these requirements affect developers, especially in
Importance: Understanding the relationship between patients' clinical characteristics and outcomes is fundamental to medicine. When critically ill patients die after withdrawal of life-sustaining therapy (WLST), the inability to observe the potential for recovery with continued aggressive care could bias future clinical decisions and research. Objective: To quantify the frequency with which expert
The aim of this thesis has been to investigate women's experience of the Methadone maintenance treatment and what help they believe they need to be able to recover and to improve their social life and whether the medical- and social workers share the similar view. Our method of investigation has been qualitative interviews with four women in the program, two nurses and a counsellor at the met
Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to clarify and evaluate the concept of scenario planning. Methodology: Our research methodology has a qualitative approach and uses deductive reasoning. The theoretical field of strategy formulation has been reviewed and in specific the concept scenario planning was unravelled and mapped. Thereafter, our model was tested in a case study where the empirical da
Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to provide a deeper understanding of how team dynamics influence team performance, and thus team effectiveness, in an extreme environment. Methodology: In order to address the research question, a qualitative research study based on interpretive epistemology has been conducted. A discourse analysis is used with the aim to analyze the Formula 1 drivers’ use of
After World War II, the ethno-demographic structure of many cities in eastern and central Europe was fundamentally changed as a result of genocides, ethnic cleansing, deportations and migrations. The cultural diversity that had been characteristic of many of those cities was radically reduced, as new inhabitants tried to find their place in the cityscapes. In focus of this thesis is thememory work
In recent years, the number of people with Alzheimer's disease (AD) has grown worldwide. Since no cure has yet been found for the disease, detection and initiation of treatment is the best way to prevent the disease from progressing behavioral and physical symptoms in the patient. There are several methods to diagnose AD, and neuroimaging, as a noninvasive approach, reveals changes in the brain du
Despite decades of research on the emergence of human speech capacities, an integrative account consistent with hominin evolution remains lacking. We review paleoanthropological and archaeological findings in search of a timeline for the emergence of modern human articulatory morphological features. Our synthesis shows that several behavioral innovations coincide with morphological changes to the
Cyklisters åkkomfort, kopplat till cykelvägens textur och jämnhet, har hittills inte undersökts på ett uttömmande vis. Det beror delvis på att det saknas tillståndsbedömningsmetoder som är speciellt utvecklade för cykelvägarnas lägre hastighetsgränser och begränsade utrymme. Det behövs textur- och jämnhetsmått som passar cyklisters, och inte bilisters, upplevda åkkomfort. I den här artikeln presenCyclists’ riding comfort, related to pavement texture and unevenness, has not been thourougly investigated, partly due to the lack of condition assessment methods specifically adapted to the speed and space limits on cycle paths. Metrics that better describe the perceived comfort of cyclists, rather than that of car users, are needed. In this paper a novel method, the Bicycle Measurement Trailer (
Kristna och muslimer har levt sida vid sida i knappt ett och ett halvt årtusende i Egypten. Under de islamiska väldena betraktades de kristna som ahl al-Kitab. De kristnas status under denna period var en del av islamisk shari’a. I det moderna Egypten har två kulturer mötts, den västerländska och den islamisk-arabiska. Den västerländska kulturen var överlägsen, ekonomiskt, vetenskapligt och militäDialogue between Islam and Christianity is of great importance today. Some people consider Islam as the enemy of the World. At the same time the Muslim fundamentalist groups consider themselves as the only true Islam struggling against injustice and the western capitalist world order. The encounter between Islam and Christianity in Egypt is of great importance because these religions have coexis
The Swedish welfare state has undergone structural changes in the last few decades, involving various cutback programmes and the decentralization of public service to the municipalities, with a shift from universal to more means-tested rights. Some of the responsibility for service to the very poorest people has been passed on to the family, the market and voluntary organizations. This has been pa
We present multiple-epoch radial-velocity observations for 104 stars in a field of the intermediate-age open cluster IC 4651 to . Only 13 stars (13%) of the full sample are field stars. From the 44 single member stars we find a mean radial velocity of , and the 12 single red-giant members yield a true radial-velocity dispersion of . Of the 19 giant members, 7 (37%) are spectroscopic binaries with
