Title: ”Others don’t have a clue about what it’s like for those who are different” A study about growing up with a mentally retarded sibling. Authors: Irén Palm och Liselotte Christensen Purpose: The purpose of the essay is to enlighten what it can be like growing up with a mentally retarded sibling. We want to know the kind of support a sibling needs to get from its family, surroundings and pro
ABSTRAKT Författare: Linnèa Åsengård Titel: ”Hon sade visserligen inte att hon ville, men hon sade inte heller att hon inte ville”: En kvalitativ studie om hur män dömda för våldtäkt uppfattat sexuellt samtycke Kandidatuppsats: SOCK04, 15 hp Handledare: Agneta Mallén Sociologiska institutionen, höstterminen 2020 Den 1:a juli 2018 införde Sverige en ny sexualbrottslagstiftning byggd på frivilligh
Background: Carry Life UF is a novel peritoneal dialysis (PD) technology for improved fluid management using steady concentration PD (SCPD). The Carry Life UF treatment starts with a manual peritoneal fill of 1.36% glucose PD fluid, followed by a 5-hour treatment where small amounts of glucose are continuously added to maintain a stable intraperitoneal glucose concentration. A recent in-center cli
Background: To determine if an alternating regimen of the tyrosine kinase inhibitors imatinib and regorafenib improved outcomes in patients with advanced gastrointestinal stromal tumors. Methods: ALTGIST (NCT02365441) was a randomized phase II study of standard treatment of imatinib (Arm A) compared with an experimental alternating regimen of imatinib and regorafenib (Arm B). Primary outcome was b
A search for neutral long-lived particles (LLPs) decaying in the ATLAS hadronic calorimeter using 140 fb−1 of proton-proton collisions at s = 13 TeV delivered by the LHC is presented. The analysis is composed of three channels. The first targets pair-produced LLPs, where at least one LLP is produced with sufficiently low boost that its decay products can be resolved as separate jets. The second an
This paper presents a search for exotic decays of the Higgs boson into a pair of new pseudoscalar particles, Formula Presented, where one pseudoscalar decays into a Formula Presented-quark pair and the other decays into a Formula Presented-lepton pair, in the mass range Formula Presented. The analysis uses Formula Presented collision data at Formula Presented collected with the ATLAS detector at t
Biological neural network functionality depends on the vast number of connections between nodes, which can be challenging to implement artificially. One radical solution is to replace physical wiring with broadcasting of signals between the artificial neurons. We explore an implementation of this concept by light emitting/receiving III-V semiconductor nanowire neurons in a quasi-2D waveguide. They
Context. Globular clusters exhibit star-to-star chemical variations that are traceable through both photometric and spectroscopic data. While UV photometry and light-elements such as Na and O are commonly used for this purpose, the optical V versus (V-I) color magnitude diagram (CMD) is often assumed to be relatively unaffected by such inhomogeneities and is used to derive basic cluster parameters
The scientific literature on health effects from dampness in buildings, including mite exposure over the period 1998-2000 has been reviewed by a European group (EUROEXPO) of eight scientists in experience from medicine, epidemiology, toxicology and engineering. Forty studies deemed relevant have been the foundation for the conclusions. Dampness in buildings is a risk factor for health effects amon
The Disproportionate Burden-Expense Exception within the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework is allowing certified organisations to refuse access requests based on organisational cost or burden. The thesis is examining how this exception affects the ability of EU controllers to fulfil their obligation under Article 15(3) GDPR, when employing a U.S. processor. To answer this question, the thesis is exam
Forskningsfrågor: Hur använder sig Svenska Spel och Betsson AB av CSR och finns det någon skillnad i CSR-arbetet mellan ett privatägt och statligt ägt spelbolag? Leder företagens CSR-arbete till ökad lojalitet bland kunder och ökad legitimitet för företagen? Syfte: Undersöka hur Svenska Spel och Betsson AB använder CSR i sitt arbete, samt om detta bidrar till ökad lojalitet bland kunder och ökad Research questions: How do Svenska Spel and Betsson AB utilize CSR, and is there any difference in CSR practices between privately-owned and state-owned gambling companies? Does the companies' CSR efforts lead to increased customer loyalty and enhanced legitimacy for the companies? Purpose: To investigate how Svenska Spel and Betsson AB utilize CSR, and whether this contributes to increased c
Freshwater demand is expected to rise while supplies decline, putting pressure on water systems. Water conservation and determining potential alternative sources is imperative. The thesis aims to determine the effectiveness of greywater recycling as an alternative source in Sweden. Sörsjön was used as a case study and the roles of property owners and water utilities explored. The theory of planned
Biochar, a black carbon created from agricultural waste or residues, is primary an agricultural tool to improve soil health via moisture and nutrient retention with the added benefit of sequestering carbon. As global actors search for carbon dioxide removal (CDR) methods, biochar is increasingly promoted especially in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) where smallholder farmers are largely affected by clima
The issue of dignity in the context of asylum seekers and their care has been widely discussed from various perspectives. As the rate of asylum-seeking increases, so too does the politics surrounding bare minimum standards. In the process of seeking asylum, individuals are increasingly forced to trade-off access to other rights. This study investigates the normative and human rights gaps in asylum
Funktionella somatiska tillstånd (FSD) är vanliga och funktionsnedsättande tillstånd som ofta lämnar patienter fångade mellan otillräckliga medicinska förklaringar och begränsade psykologiska behandlingsalternativ. Internetbaserad emotional awareness and expression therapy (I-EAET) är en lovande intervention för FSD. Få studier har dock undersökt den subjektiva upplevelsen av att genomgå I-EAET – Functional somatic disorders (FSD) are common, debilitating conditions that often leave patients caught between insufficient medical explanations and limited psychological treatment options. Internet-based emotional awareness and expression therapy (I-EAET) is a promising intervention for FSD. However, few studies have examined the subjective experience of undergoing I-EAET—particularly among thos
This study explores how Thai women in Sweden, working in the massage and wellness sector and members of the ThaiWISE initiative, navigate social stigma and negotiates their identities in the context of migration. Drawing on five semi-structured interviews, the study examines how these women manage the persistent association between Thai femininity and sex work, despite working in safe and regulate
This study presents a mineralogical, textural and structural assessment of the Cambrian Faludden Sandstone Member (Borgholm Formation) and Lower Silurian mudstone (unspecified formation), for their potential use as reservoir and caprock, respectively, for deep carbon storage in the Swedish sector of the Baltic Sea subsurface. The study was performed on two drillcores from the island of Gotland, No
The European Union implements the Environmental Noise Directive (END), which offers a framework for evaluating and assessing environmental noise. All EU members are required to create strategic noise maps to inform the public about noise pollution and its effects. This study followed these directives and guidelines to collect the required data and employed the NORD2000 model to simulate traffic no
