The aim of this study was to examine how care managers experience the challenges that they encounter in their meetings with elderly who suffers from mental illness. We have through qualitative semi structured interviews interviewed seven care managers within the elderly care. To analyze our result we have used Michael Lipsky’s theory about street level bureaucracy. The care managers in our study t

Det finns inga internationella åtaganden som innebär en skyldighet för Sverige att ge parter i tvistemål tillgång till en prövning av en andra instans. Dock ska parter enligt Europakonventionen om skydd för de mänskliga rättigheterna och de grundläggande friheterna tillförsäkras en rätt till domstolsprövning och en rättssäker process. En möjlighet till överprövning av den första instansens avgöranEven though the definition of legal certainty is controversial, it may be considered generally accepted that the substantive aspect of legal certainty requires that judicial decisions are substantially right. It is also quite clear that the formal aspect of legal certainty includes a requirement of predictability concerning judicial decision making. Sweden has no enforceable international obliga

Opening up your home to unaccompanied young refugees : A study about voluntary foster parents, their motives and commitment Migration politics in Sweden has shifted to a more restrictive stance in the past few years. Unaccompanied asylum-seeking minors are an especially vulnerable group that has been affected by this. Many of them find themselves in a difficult position when they turn 18, when th

This paper aims to analyze individuals’ perceptions of artificial intelligence (AI) and how they perceive the potential risks and benefits of AI. This study examines how information treatment effects change people’s attitudes toward AI. To analyze this, an experimental survey was conducted on April 27, 2023. A total of 120 respondents were obtained through the research platform Prolific and after

This aim of this research was to investigate possible reasons for the large gap between legal frameworks and policies in comparison to the practical implementation of Legal Aid Services in Zimbabwe. The responsibility of the state to provide legal aid, protection and civil legal aid necessary to ensure this provision for those who cannot afford such is affirmed by international legal instruments,

Innovation is essential in our technological society. There exist a large number of innovative companies in the world, however, still there is a great scope for many others to join and take advantage of this treasure that have caused success for many organizations. There are a growing number of authors in the field of innovation, that have a mount of articles about innovation, innovation managemen

This qualitative study investigates how formalization of private property rights through titling affects poverty dynamics in urban informal settlements in Jamaica, a small “developing” state. It relies on a case study to explore the impact of titling on tenure security, housing investment, access to credit, and gender poverty and the factors that support or constrain titling initiatives. Given the

Popular AbstractDenna sammanläggningsavhandling tar upp olika aspekter vid det regionala innovationssystemet i en urban kontext. Det övergripande syftet är att identifiera faktorer som kan förklara hur regionala innovationssystem faktisk fungerar i en urban agglomeration. Detta är gjort genom att se på innovationsdynamiken och innovationsaktiviteten i Oslo regionen, och genom att se hur två olika The dissertation is based on a collection of papers addressing different aspects of regional innovation systems in an urban context. The overall aim is to find explanatory factors behind the workings of regional innovation systems in urban agglomerations by looking at the innovation dynamics and innovation outcomes of the Oslo region, and secondly, by analysing how two diverse subsets of economic

Principalansvar innebär att man blir ansvarig för någon annans vållande och är således en avvikelse från den svenska skadeståndsrättens grundprincip som föreskriver att man endast ansvarar för sina egna handlingar. Innan skadeståndslagen (SkL) trädde ikraft fanns endast rättspraxis som underlag för ett inskränkt principalansvar. Genom införandet av skadeståndslagen blev arbetsgivarens principalansVicarious liability means being responsible for someone else's negligence and therefor a deviation from the Swedish tort law basic principle, which states that you are only responsible for your own actions. Before the Swedish Liability Act (SkL) came into force there were only case law as the basis for a limited vicarious liability. With the introduction of the Liability Act the vicarious liab

The study considers the scheduling problem of identical parallel machines subject to minimization of the maximum completion time and the maximum tardiness expressed in a linear convex objective function. The maximum completion time or makespan is the date when the last job to be completed leaves the system. The maximum tardiness is indicated by the job that is completed with the longest delay rela

In the last two decades, health promotion strategies have gained significant attention in end-of-life care contexts—engendering greater focus on community and informal care in policy and healthcare spheres in liberal welfare-states. The emergence of health-promoting palliative care (HPPC) in the Nordic context presents a unique challenge to the abiding social contract of care which emphasizes the

The European spruce bark beetle (Ips typographus L.) is a major disturbance agent in Norway spruce (Picea abies (L.) Karst) forests in Europe and it is estimated that a changing climate will result in more severe outbreaks in the future. To reduce the risk of large outbreaks it is important to have methods that enable early detection of bark beetle attacks to help forest managers to prevent popula

Spatially variable selection has the potential to result in local adaptation unless counteracted by gene flow. Therefore, barriers to gene flow will help facilitate divergence between populations that differ in local selection pressures. We performed spatially and temporally replicated reciprocal field transplant experiments between inland and coastal habitats using males of the common blue damsel

Ecological intensification has been embraced with great interest by the academic sector but is still rarely taken up by farmers because monitoring the state of different ecological functions is not straightforward. Modelling tools can represent a more accessible alternative of measuring ecological functions, which could help promote their use amongst farmers and other decision-makers. In the case

Managed honey bees (Apis mellifera L.) are increasingly used worldwide to meet the growing demand for agricultural pollination services and honey production. The spillover of managed honey bees into natural habitats can strongly transform wild plant-pollinator communities, resulting in mixed consequences for plant reproduction. To effectively predict and cope with the impacts of managed honey bees

Pangenomes are collections of annotated genome sequences of multiple individuals of a species1. The structural variants uncovered by these datasets are a major asset to genetic analysis in crop plants2. Here we report a pangenome of barley comprising long-read sequence assemblies of 76 wild and domesticated genomes and short-read sequence data of 1,315 genotypes. An expanded catalogue of sequence

Key recommendationsPastureland restoration must be implemented to reduce dependency oncoping mechanisms such as emergency feeding, mechanized transport andintense workloads. These coping mechanisms are increasingly used to dealwith the cumulative effects of encroachments from competing land uses,predator pressure, and the impacts of climate change on snow conditions.Vigorous thinning of dense, man

"Att förstå rådgivning till småföretagare" is a study concerning aspects on advising small-firm managers. The strategy is to penetrate different aspects of the advisory fundtion in order to understand it better. Three distinct aspects have been chosen. On a basis of the consulting literature and the author´s own experience as an advisor to small firms a normative/pragmatic perspective on advising
