A life-view is an overall view of man and the world, forming a central value system and giving expression to a fundamental attitude. Research has shown that life-views are established early in childhood, are influenced by social environment and are relatively constant over time. An individual's view of life determines the response to reality and influences decision-making and treatment of other pe
Background: Models describing nuclear fragmentation and fragmentation fission deliver important input for planning nuclear physics experiments and future radioactive ion beam facilities. These models are usually benchmarked against data from stable beam experiments. In the future, two-step fragmentation reactions with exotic nuclei as stepping stones are a promising tool for reaching the most neut
To enhance the performance of gas turbine engines, high top-cycle temperatures are desired. However, the temperature is limited by current materials. To achieve the higher performance, and meanwhile maintain the metal temperatures of the combustors, vanes and blades below the allowable limits, sophisticated cooling techniques, such as impingement cooling, film cooling and convective internal cooli
Syftet med förevarande uppsats är att belysa umgängessabotage och dess eventuella konsekvenser. Närmare bestämt avses att undersöka hur ett eventuellt umgängessabotage påverkar tingsrätten i sin bedömning när den har att ta ställning till vad som innebär barnets bästa (se föräldrabalken 6 kap. 2 a §). Umgängesrätten har utvecklats från att vara en rättighet avsedd för den förälder som utan grund hThe purpose of this essay is to highlight the consequences of the situation where one parent without acceptable cause refuses the other parent’s right of access with their child, hereinafter called ‘access sabotage’. The purpose is more specifically to investigate how the situation of access sabotage is affecting the district court in its assessment when it has to consider what outcome will be in
Brotten vållande till kroppsskada eller sjukdom, förtal, förolämpning och egenmäktighet med barn är alla brott mot person för vilka de brottsutredande myndigheterna enbart får fatta lagföringsbeslut om åtal kan anses påkallat ur allmän synpunkt. Begränsningen, som i vissa fall enbart aktualiseras om målsäganden angivit brottet till åtal, innebär att myndigheterna inte får hantera alla fall även omThe offences causing bodily injury or illness, defamation, insulting behaviour and arbitrary conduct concerning a child are offences against the person to which the investigating authorities can take conviction decisions only if prosecution is called for in the public interest. The limitation, which in some cases is applicable only if the plaintiff has reported an offence for prosecution, means th
Tredjepartsbesiktning innebär att blivande eller befintliga affärspartners undersöks i syfte att säkerställa att verksamhetsutövarens verksamhetsled utgör en låg risk för korruption, vilket i vissa länder krävs genom lag. Faktorer som i regel anses som varningsflaggor i riskbedömningen inför en affärstransaktion är till exempel om en affärspartner har dömts för något brott av korruptiv karaktär elThird party due diligence is an investigation of prospective or existing business partners in order to ensure a low risk of corruption. In certain countries such an investigation is required by law. Factors to consider in the risk assessment are for example whether a potential or existing business partner has been convicted of any corruption related crime or is associated with political circles. S
Uppsatsen behandlar de rättsliga regleringar som utgör gällande rätt vid häktning av unga mellan 15-17 år. Syftet för uppsatsen är att utreda om denna reglering är rättssäkert utifrån principen om förutsägbarhet. För att göra detta redovisas regleringen om frihetsberövande generellt, för att vidare begränsas till frihetsberövande genom häktning och sedermera behandla regleringen gällande unga mellThe thesis deals with the legal regulations that constitute the current law on the detention of young people aged 15-17. The purpose for the essay is to investigate whether this regulation is legally secure based on the principle of predictability. In order to do this, the regulation on deprivation of liberty is described in general, then limited to deprivation of liberty by means of detention and
In this project, a regioselective method to deprotect and acylate the amide on C5 of sialic acid is explored. Sialic acid is one of the most complex monosaccharides and is an important ligand in many higher organisms in intercellular cell communication. The most prominent example is related to the immune system. Sialic acids are attached as the terminal carbohydrate on cell surface glycans, which
Lagstiftaren har gjort bedömningen att barn i åldrarna 15-17 år bör skyddas från vissa sexuella handlingar och därför har man kriminaliserat köp av sexuell handling av barn. För att ansvar ska kunna utkrävas måste gärningspersonen ha uppsåt ifråga om alla omständigheter utom barnets ålder, där måste denne endast agerat oaktsamt. Enligt 6:13 BrB kan en person dömas för köp av sexuell handling av ba
Background: Risk gene variants for celiac disease, identified in genome-wide linkage and association studies, might influence molecular pathways important for disease development. The aim was to examine expression levels of potential risk genes close to these variants in the small intestine and peripheral blood and also to test if the non-coding variants affect nearby gene expression levels in chi
For some time, directional antennas have been considered to solve connectivity and interference issues in wireless networks. Several scenarios have been presented and often the conclusions drawn are positive, showing increase in capacity. However, to date there has been no effort to assess a holistic picture of the benefit/cost tradeoff and previous work mainly concerns either link scheduling or a
Introduction: This report evaluates whether health related quality of life (HRQoL) and patient-reported arm morbidity one year after axillary surgery are affected by the omission of axillary lymph node dissection (ALND). Methods: The ongoing international non-inferiority SENOMAC trial randomizes clinically node-negative breast cancer patients (T1-T3) with 1–2 sentinel lymph node (SLN) macrometasta
The formation of industry standards for environmental issues and corporate social responsibility is gaining acceptance but the number of successfully implemented programs are few. On an individual level companies have for some time applied company standards or codes of conduct. But on a collective level cooperation seems much more difficult. Although from an economic point of view there are clear
In recent years, public as well as private measures taken in order to protect the environment have proved to affect competition. As consumers have become more and more alert to the environmental effects of the manufacture, use and ultimate disposal of goods, undertakings have taken measures improving the environmental protection not only due to legislation imposing stricter standards on products a
Towards a New Eldercare? Middle managers reflections on how to create good service within homes for the elderly. [translated title] For the past twenty years there has been a governing trend of efficiency and privatization of the swedish elder care. These trends have put the elder cares very foundation, it’s purpose, in a tremble. Middle managers within the swedish elder care are struggling to
Atomic diusion and mixing processes in stellar interiors influence the structure and the surface composition of stars. Some of these processes cannot yet be modelled from the first principles, and they require calibrations. This limits their applicability in stellar models used for studies of stellar populations and Galactic evolution. Aims. Our main goal is to put constraints on the stellar struc
COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy poses a threat to the success of vaccination programmes currently being implemented. Concerns regarding vaccine effectiveness and vaccine-related adverse events are potential barriers to vaccination; however, it remains unclear whether tailored messaging and vaccination programmes can influence uptake. Understanding the preferences of key groups, including students, coul
