Salience approaches are a widely used theory when studying political behavior on how political party’s emphases certain policy issues more than other issues and therefore, defining certain topics as more important to the party than other policies. One of the most important documents studying policy salience is the election manifestos parties present to the voters, containing intentions and views o

Background: Alleviating poverty is critical for achieving sustainability (Zomorrodi et al., 2019). One business approach to alleviate poverty is the Bottom of the pyramid (BoP) approach which implies engaging the poor in doing business, and including them into supply chains with both profitability and poverty alleviation as objectives (Brix-Asala et al., 2021). The populations living in the BoP ar

The aim of this study is to investigate the short term change regarding deprivation of liberty of children in Sweden. There has been media coverage on the subject since adolescents are committing grave crimes in Sweden and the politicians want to change how the children are deprived of their liberty. The study compares legislation from 2023, 2024 and a proposed legislation that could take effect i

Bakgrund: Äldre är en växande grupp av vårdsökande på akutmottagningarna och resurserna ökar inte i takt med det ökade behovet av vård. Vistelsetiden på akutmottagningen ökar årligen och hårdast drabbas äldre patienter. Att besöka akutmottagningen kan vara en utmaning för de äldre i den hektiska miljön som finns på akutmottagningen. Syfte: Syftet med studien var att undersöka hur äldre upplevde atBackground: The elderly are a growing group of care seekers in the emergency departments and the resources do not increase in pace with the increased need for care. The length of stay in the emergency department increases annually, and older patients are hit hardest. Visiting the emergency department can be a challenge for the elderly in the busy environment found in the emergency department. Purp

When founding the modern human rights protection, the UN did to a great extent have focus on protecting men and men’s rights, even though one of the core principles of human rights is their universality. Over the past few decades work has been done to include women’s perspectives in the human rights protection. The UN has chosen a dual strategy, where women’s rights are both protected in gender-sp

This study examined grammatical features of written Swedish-English code-swtching found in two Swedish web discussion forums. More specifically, this study sought to show that the so-called insertion patter, as defined by Muysken (2000), is the the predominant patter of code-switching found in these two forums. In order to determine the dominant pattern of code-switching found in the two forums, I

This thesis aims to analyse the borderline between private importation and retail sales of alcohol on the EU internal market. This thesis shows that according to the case-law of the Court of Justice of the European Union, the definition of private import is a complex assessment that depends on several factors. Among other indicators, it depends on the shipping and logistics procedure. To be classi

Vårdboenden som vägvisare mot ett hållbart samhälle Vårdboendena i Helsingborgs stad har stora möjligheter att göra skillnad för klimatet och därmed visa vägen mot ett hållbart samhälle. Stora mängder engångsprodukter används på boendena men det finns åtgärder att vidta för att minska klimatpåverkan från samtliga. Det finns också god potential för att minska matsvinnet, bland annat genom bättre sDue to climate change, emissions of greenhouse gases must be reduced rapidly and natural resources must be used more sustainably. The public sector should lead the way to a more sustainable society and healthcare has been identified as an area that contributes to large emissions. The purpose of this study was to identify measures that can be taken to reduce the climate impact of the retirement ho

This is a problematization of UN’s work on preventing child soldiers and also an analysis of the consistency between the Convention on the Right of the Child and Responsibility to Protect (R2P). I have chosen to examine the Convention on the Right of the Child because it expresses the human rights of a child, and R2P because it phrases UN’s opportunity to protect human rights in a state where thos

This study examined the control of voice intensity using acoustic and aerodynamic recordings. A total of 34 subjects participated half of them with and half without song training, 21 females and 13 males. The subjects produced the syllable sequence /papapa/ while the acoustic signal, the oral air flow, and the oral air pressure were recorded using the Kay-Pentax Phonatory Aerodynamic System. The o

BACKGROUND: Circulating adiponectin and leptin have been associated with risk of pancreatic cancer. However, the relationship between long-term exposure to these adipokines in the prediagnostic period with patient survival has not been investigated.METHODS: Adipokine levels were measured in prospectively collected samples from 472 patients with pancreatic cancer. Because of sex-specific difference

We present a Raman study of axially heterostructured InP/InGaP nanowires (NWs) for tandem solar cells. The study is carried out using both microRaman spectroscopy (µ-Raman), and tip enhanced Raman spectroscopy (TERS). The results obtained by both methods are compared. The results obtained with each one is supported by the simulation of the light/NW interaction using finite element methods. This si

Vårt syfte med uppsatsen är att undersöka om det skett en förändring i svensk utvecklingspolitik sedan de nya riktlinjerna lanserades i propositionen PGU från 2002. Vårt mål är att urskilja vilka diskurser som är genomgående, hur dessa diskurser relationellt har påverkat varandra och hur de inbördes har förändrats över tid. Hur ser regeringen på utveckling, fattigdom och bistånd? Har det skett en

The purpose of this study is to show and discuss the work and the efforts that are made for children and young asylum seekers in the Swedish society, focusing on the rights of the child. My aim was also to discuss whether Sweden complies with the Convention on the rights of the child in asylum cases. My questions were: What rights do children and young asylum seekers have compared to adults? How a

På särskilda ungdomshem tvångsvårdas barn och unga i Statens institutionsstyrelses (SiS) regi. Personalen på ungdomshemmen har särskilda befogenheter vilket motiveras av de placerade barnen och ungas omfattande problematik. Tvångsåtgärderna inskränker emellertid barn och ungas fri- och rättigheter. Barnkonventionen inkorporerades i svensk lag i syfte att stärka och tydliggöra barn och ungas ställThe special residential homes for young people that are run by the national board of institutional care (SiS) provide children and young people compulsory care. The staff at the special residential homes have the right to use coercive measures which is motivated by the children and young people’s extensive problems. The coercive measures however restrict the freedoms and rights of the children and

Popular Abstract in Swedish Förbränningsmotorer används på flera platser i samhället där energi behöver göras tillgänglig i form av mekaniskt arbete eller elektrisk energi. Den kanske mest kända tillämpningen är som kraftkälla i en personbil. Förbränningsmotorerna har givetvis ett antal fördelar som bidragit till deras popularitet och omfattande användning - lågt pris, kompakthet, driftsäkerhet ocCurrent combustion engines provide excellent performance for vehicle propulsion and power generation. However, recent demands from society ask for higher efficiencies and lower emissions. These requirements are hard to meet with current technology and call for new solutions. Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition, HCCI, offers a potential to combine high efficiency with very low emissions. It op

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the health-related quality of life (HRQL) of patients with head and neck cancer during and after treatment with radiotherapy, surgery, and chemotherapy. STUDY DESIGN: Prospective, descriptive study. METHODS: All new patients in four institutions in Norway and Sweden were asked to participate. Health-related quality of life was assessed at baseline and at 1, 2, 3, 6, and 12

Background Indications with poor T-cell infiltration or deficiencies in T-cell priming and associated unresponsiveness to established immunotherapies represent an unmet medical need in oncology. CD40-targeting therapies designed to enhance antigen presentation, generate new tumor-specific T cells, and activate tumor-infiltrating myeloid cells to remodel the tumor microenvironment, represent a prom
