Popular AbstractAvhandlingens titel Den goda viljans paradoxer skall förstås på följande sätt. I utredningar och propositioner hävdar utredare, skolpolitiker och administratörer att lärarna skall bemyndigas, det vill säga de skall tillskrivas ett mandat i skolan. Detta mandat skall ge lärarna ett visst självständigt beslutsfattande i en ny mötesform som kallas arbetsenheter. Denna mötesform stipulThe theory and practice of reform as reflected in teachers’ experience of meetings in schools.

In this study 26 teachers and five school administrators - head teachers and deputy-head teachers - have been interviewed. Person
The aim of this study was to describe some of the factors that might play a role in influencing attitude to xenotransplantation: first, the consideration of receiving cells and tissue from xenotransplants in relation to whole xeno-organs; secondly, the fact that there is greater uncertainty regarding the result and risk of infection associated with xenotransplantation than with allotransplantation
Osteopenia/osteoporosis affect many elderly people and might not be detected until symptoms of fractures occur. Early detection of osteopenia/osteoporosis is important and would allow preventive measures and treatment. Access to screening for osteopenia/osteoporosis is often limited, whereas panoramic radiography is commonly used in dentistry. The aim of this study was to determine the validity of
BACKGROUND: Individuals with low income have poorer health and should, therefore, have higher health expenditure than people with high income particularly in countries with a universal health care system. However, it has been discussed if social inequities in health diminish with age and we, hence, aimed to analyse this question. METHODS: We performed an age stratified cross-sectional analysis usi
Sampling methodology (e.g. population-based vs. clinical samples, anonymous self-reports vs. data collected as part of mandated treatment) affects the validity of conclusions drawn from research addressing the etiology of adolescent sexual offending. Studies of unselected samples allow testing of the generalizability of etiological models suggested from investigation of selected clinical or forens
Sammanfattning Allt fler människor blir infertila. För att lösa problemet att få ett genetiskt barn har flera länder i vår omvärld börjat använda och tillåta surrogatmödraskap. I Sverige har åsikterna tidigare varit att det varit en allt för oetisk metod. Under årens lopp har dock värderingarna ändrats något och idag pågår en livlig debatt om altruistiskt surrogatmödraskap ska bli tillåtet. Altrui
Our understanding of the society and the world around us is partly communicated to us through the newsmedia. The language used, both written, oral and images, affects the way that we talk about, understand and act upon certain events. In a newsbroadcast there are several interpretations and representations, all communicated in various forms of language, and this language will in turn be the basis
Hanöbuktens utveckling under den senaste istiden har studerats med hjälp av borrkärnor från IODP’s Baltic Sea Palaeoenvironment expedition i Östersjön. Genom att analysera förekomsten av IRD, korrelera en varvig enhet till Ringbergs (1991) regionala lervarvskronologi från sydöstra Sverige, göra pollenanalyser och glödförlustbestämningar har en del luckor i Hanöbuktens historia fyllts i. I borrkärn

Det huvudsakliga syftet med detta arbete var att simulera tredimensionella flödesmönster i tankar för lagring av vatten. De praktiska avsikter med simuleringarna var att identifiera vattenkvalitetsproblem relaterade till bristande vattenutbyte. De vattenmagasin som reservoarer vid Norra Ugglarp i Skåne utgör undersöktes i en särskild fallstudie. I denna avhandling har den öppna CFD källkoden OpenF
The increase in population and urbanization has led to widespread concern about the resulting volume of consumption. This is especially problematic in the housing market, where home size continues to grow. In the United States the average size of a single-family home has doubled since 1950, leading to a profound environmental impact. This paper will seek to address the problem of overconsumption b
Åldersbedömningar av ensamkommande barn är vanligt förekommande i asylprocessen. Syftet med denna uppsats har varit att undersöka hur åldersbedömningen ska gå till och vilken betydelse utfallet av åldersbedömningen har för frågan om uppehållstillstånd. För att problematisera åldersbedömningen har jag utgått från grundläggande bevisteoretiska och processrättsliga principer, så som bevisbördans placAge assessments of unaccompanied minors are common in asylum procedure. The purpose with this thesis is to examine how such an assessment should be made and how the applicant’s age affects the question of asylum. I am using basic principles in evidence theory and procedural law, such as burden of proof and free evaluation of evidence, to problematize the age assessment. I am also discussing the mo
År 2006 valde den svenska regeringen att tillsätta en utredning för att kartlägga omfattningen av den vanvård som skett i den sociala barnavården. Utredningen bedrevs främst genom intervjuer med frivilliga, som ville berätta om vad de utsatts för i sin barndom. Över 1000 personer blev intervjuade, det stora intresset var inte väntat utan utredningen överskred sina tidsramar både en och två gånger.
In this study the different liquid biofuels that could be used as alternative fuels in gas turbines are reviewed. The pre-conditions are biofuel in liquid state, suited for seven specific gas turbines at E.ON Värmekraft that are a part of the disturbance reserve of Svenska Kraftnät. The alternative fuels need to comply with the agreement with Svenska Kraftnät. The most probable candidates are bioo
