Housing adaptation aims to enable clients to live independently in their own homes. Studies focusing on participation in everyday life following a housing adaptation are lacking and needed. This study aimed to explore housing adaptation clients' experiences of participation in everyday life before and after a housing adaptation, through the lens of a housing adaptation, using a qualitative follow-
Pollutant transport in the unsaturated soil zone is a potential threat to surface and ground water resources. The intensity and volume of rainfall are the parameters that decide how fast and deep the pollutants will be transported. Climate models predict a future rainfall climate with higher total volume and higher intensities. In the present study we try to assess effects on unsaturated solute tr
This study aims to analyse and compare the challenges and opportunities that refugees and asylum seekers experience in Sweden and South Africa along with the strategies they develop in relation to higher education. As both countries have undertaken a more restrictive refugee and asylum policy, this study hopes to contribute to the debate of inclusion and its challenges. The data-collection entails
Transboundary research collaborations (TRCs) are critical in supporting evidence-based actions to address complex global issues. However, there is still a lack of empirics, which would detail how TRCs are organised, how activities are facilitated, and how actors interplay. In this article, we address this gap through the evaluation of a North-South TRC against the 11 principles for TRCs by the Com
Muhammad Hejazi, deputy head of the Iranian Quds Force, is reported to have died of heart disease. However, a mysterious tweet hints that he might have been killed.
Lignin is one of the main components of plant cell walls, which provides mechanical support for plants and also contributes to resisting against plant pathogenic fungi. In the fruit industry, the lignin content can affect the quality of fruit. The biosynthesis of lignin involves a variety of enzymes, of which caffeoyl-CoA 3-O-methyltransferase (CCoAOMT) is a class of methyltransferases that plays
Background: Palliative care focuses on identifying, from a holistic perspective, the needs of those experiencing problems associated with life-threatening illnesses. As older people approach the end of their lives, they can experience a complex series of problems that health-care professionals must identify and document in their patients’ records. Documentation is thus important for ensuring high-
Background: In Europe, residential care homes (RCHs) rather than hospitals are the most common care facilities for the older adult and the place where most deaths occur in this age group. There is a lack of knowledge regarding end-of-life (EOL) discussions and how they correlate with symptoms and symptom relief. Objective: The aim was to examine the correlation between EOL discussions and symptom
Gemensamt ägande av energi har funnits i Sverige i många år. Med Ren energi-paketet från EU etableras nu en lagstiftning som introducerar ”energigemenskaper” som en ny organisationsform på energimarknaden. Målet med denna rapport är att introducera energigemenskap, hur det beskrivs i Ren energi-paketet och i Energimarknadsinspektionens förslag till ny lag för Energigemenskaper i Sverige. I rapport
This article reads J. J. Abrams and Doug Dorst's S. (2013) as a reflection of the changing status and function of the printed novel in the digital age. As an experimental novel with yellowing pages and handwriting in the margins, S. appears to reflect a “material turn” in literature. It celebrates the book as a space of intimacy and memory, positioned in opposition to new digital media. However, t
Infection patterns of avian haemosporidians result from the evolution of their associations with hosts, and can be shaped by multiple biotic factors. However, at the level of parasite species, few studies have investigated the details of the temporal dynamics of infection patterns in wild bird communities. We hereby studied a wild bird community in southern Sweden to investigate two generalist par
The effect of gate-length variation on key transistor metrics for vertical nanowire p-type GaSb metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs) are demonstrated using a gate-last process. The new fabrication method enables short gate-lengths (Lg = 40 nm) and allows for selective digital etching of the channel region. Extraction of material properties as well as contact resistance are
Syfte: Undersökningen syftar till att utreda den effekt införandet av en granskning, vid sidan av revisionen, av finansiella rapporter får på dels synen på redovisning och revision, dels den faktiska redovisningen. Uppsatsen syftar även till att diskutera möjligheten för Panelen att utföra den faktiska övervakningen av företagens finansiella rapporter. Metod: Då det studerade fenomenet är relativt
There is an undefined area in the method to calculate new participatory shares in a joint facility of roads. The boundary between residential and agricultural property units is unclear in the method since the change of law of property formation in 1991 and 1994 when large residential property units and small agricultural property units were allowed. Before the residential property units could not
This Bachelor's degree project investigates how sofas can reach longer life span through circular design. It follows the steps of a classic design development process, from research and ideation to a final prototype. The result is Remain, a modular sofa that can be assembled, disassembled and reassembled multiple times enabling reuse, repair, refurbishment and recycling.
This Bachelor’s thesis attempts to provide a better understanding of how US government-funded development agencies justify their funding, how that process is conducted, and in what ways it relates to the actual practice of development. Namely, the study looks at the Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC) and the United States Agency for International Development. Specifically, it looks at how these
