This article reflects on theory in social work. With a starting point in the contemporary discussion of evidence-based social work, we raise questions about the role of theory. To understand empirical data, we need theory. The arena of social work is an open field for many academic disciplines, and theories used for understanding social work are mostly imported from general social science. Theory
Some MIMO applications require antennas to be closely spaced, which result in mutual coupling among antennas and high spatial correlation for signals. In order to compensate for the performance degradation due to correlation and coupling, impedance matching networks may be used. Recently, it was shown that uncoupled matching networks could be optimized against a given performance metric with the c
The change of specific surface area and pore size distribution due to carbonation of an ordinary Portland cement mortar is investigated. The adsorption of water vapor on noncarbonated and well-carbonated cement mortar is measured in order to evaluate the difference in specific surface area for the two samples using the BET theory. From the measured desorption the pore size distribution is calculat
Within the Eriksonian identity tradition, exploration of different life domains is crucial to identity formation. This is a process supposed to start during adolescence and develop in a social context. Most of the adopted children in Sweden, now in adolescence, are adopted from countries outside of Europe, which means that they neither share their biological nor ethnical roots with their adoptive
Abstract/Introduction:In most of the industrialized world, the proportion of older and retired people in the population is increasing.The active working part of the population must in a short future fund the not working and ageing population.There is research going on in Scandinavia to obtain knowledge about older workers’ work and life situationin association with their planning and decision to r
Forest fires are of special interest for Belarus because of radioactive contamination caused by the 1986 accident at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant. This work aims to determine the potential activity of long-lived radionuclides in surface air caused by forest fires and to estimate the potential health threat to firefighters. The methodology is based on measurements of radioactivity released by
In this project, the cooling and solidification processes for a Valmet Foundry product have been simulated in order to shorten the cooling time. The study has also been done in cooperation with RISE Swecast in Jönköping, as a part of finding ways to make casting procedures more energy efficient. Another scope of the study is to evaluate how well COMSOL Multiphysics can be used to simulate these ty
Prostate cancer is one of the most common types of cancer for men, making proper diagnostic essential. Using machine learning as a tool to help in digital pathology has become increasingly popular and helps to limit the high intra observer variability between pathologists. Due to the many cases of prostate cancer and the large differences between tumours, treatments have to be individualized for e
This paper investigates the recruitment of foreign fighters to the Kurdish armed forces YPG and YPJ, who combat the jihadist Islamic State in Western Kurdistan. The research question addresses the mystery of how people with no ties to the conflict area can be motivated to risk their lives in a distant conflict abroad, when they could just choose not to. David Malet´s theory of the framing of the c

Fragrances have been used in cosmetics for more than fifty years and most substances in scents can just be grouped under the term "parfume" on product labels. Synthetic musk compounds and phthalates are both used in perfumes, cosmetics and other consumer products. Phthalates can be absorbed by the human body and have been found in examined blood, breast milk and urine. Fetuses can be exp
Climate change is expected to increase the frequency and intensity of the most severe weather-related hazards over the coming decades. The poor in developing countries are particularly susceptible to climate change, often living in informal or precarious settlements. In order to reduce the vulnerability in those areas and strengthen people´s capacities to adapt to climate change, there is a need f
The purpose of this study was to find out why people choose to be physically inactive when only thirty minutes of exercise a day is sufficient to have a positive effect on one's health. In order to find out the reasons why people do not exercise, we conducted semistructured interviews with twenty people from Malmoe. The participants were between 23 and 63 years of age with the group consisting
Sweden is often predicted to become the first cash-free society in the world. The digital possibilities for payments are increasing and payments are now made easily using just a mobile phone. One of the possible reasons for this is the way people choose to and want to pay. Another possible reason is that the state is not guaranteeing the possibility to use cash as a payment method. The Swedish par
The purpose of this essay is to examine the ideas that are prominent in the Swedish disability policy regarding the stated goal of equal participation in society for all. In order to achieve this, I have chosen to focus on two documents, they are SOU 1982:46 Handlingsprogram i handikappfrågor and Prop. 2016/17:188 Nationellt mål och inriktning för funktionshinderspolitiken. I have examined these t
Uppsatsen avhandlar den s.k. reglementeringstiden (år 1812-1918) då regleringar infördes för att hindra spridningen av veneriska sjukdomar. Den fokuserar på Stockholm och på hur dessa regleringar drabbade kvinnor under denna tid samt belyser detta ur ett genusperspektiv. Den ger en kort bakgrund till Sverige samt kvinnornas situation under 1800-talet. Sedan avhandlas regleringarna under denna tid The thesis deals with the so-called regulation time (“reglementeringstiden)(in 1812-1918) when regulations were introduced to prevent the spread of venereal diseases. It focuses on Stockholm and how these regulations affected women during this time and highlights this from a gender perspective. It gives a brief background to Sweden and the situation of women in the 19th century. The thesis continu
