The relationship between the indoor environment and health is complex as people in modern societies spend more than 90% of their time indoors. Long -time and follow-up assessment of indoor environmental quality is important in reference to the health and wellbeing of those who occupy space within it. Physical factors such as temperature, air drag, noise and lighting affect our health and well-bein
Policy Coherence for Development is a concept, framework and tool for achieving a more effective and organized global development agenda. Under the principles of Policy Coherence for Development (PCD), the potential conflicts of objectives between various policy areas should be identified and preferably resolved – with developmental objectives in mind. The PCD has named some policy areas as “expec
In recent years, the Women, Peace and Security (WPS) agenda have paid a higher degree of attention to the gaps in implementation and lack of financing that have characterized the agenda since the adoption of UNSCR 1325 in 2000. This development has also included more attention given to implementation through civil society organizations, and the establishment of a new financing instrument – Global
The aim of this dissertation in the field of Sociology of Law, is to investigate how much participation patients of involuntary treatment have in judicial decisions about their care. This investigation was prompted after reading a recent proposition from the department of health in Sweden, that suggested that the laws of involuntary treatment (LPT) were changed to allow the affected patients more
Anion exchange membranes consisting of a Poly(phenylene oxide) polymer backbone functionalized with various imidazolium cations, 1-methylimidazole, 1,2,4,5-tetramethyl-1H-imidazole, imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine, 1-methylbenzimidazole and 1-methyl-mesitylbenzimidazole, via alkyl spacer units were prepared and analyzed for anion conductivity, water absorption properties, cation aggregation, thermal stabil
I föreliggande studie vill vi med hjälp av professionella aktörers erfarenheter undersöka unga mäns psykiska ohälsa och därigenom uppmärksamma ett perspektiv på ungas psykiska ohälsa som vi menar saknas i svensk forskning. Att statistiken visar att unga män söker hjälp i mindre utsträckning än unga kvinnor, men ändå begår självmord i dubbelt så hög grad som unga kvinnor menar vi kan vara en indika
In March this year, 2017, the Swedish government launched a new national crime prevention program. This program and available statistics indicate a need for more work to be done in the field of crime prevention in Sweden. Therefore, this essay examines this field, narrowed down to focus on juvenile and situational delinquency. The situational aspect of the delinquency is based on the Routine activ
This thesis in the field of sociology of law examines the legal consciousness of unaccompanied asylum seeking minors. Taking inspiration from Ewick & Silbey (1998) the theoretical concept of legal consciousness, I trace the presence of law in the community of the unaccompanied minors in Denmark. Unaccompanied asylum-seeking minors are recognized as a particularly vulnerable group due to their
With today’s consumption trends it has become important to use resources more efficient and work towards a more circular economy. Municipalities may do so by using a re-use system for furniture, which means that they can mediate their furniture via an IT software and re-use them within the organization. It is also possible to connect services to the system, e.g. reparation and transportation servi
Nicaragua has a geothermal potential of 1519 MW (CNE 2001) due to its volcano chain created by the tectonic activity between the Cocos plate and the Caribbean plate. The Ministry of Energy and Mines in Nicaragua has the ambition to have 91% of Nicaraguas energy consumption from renewables energy for 2027 where geothermal energy will constitute 22%. In June 2016 an earthquake of magnitude 6.1 occur
Kommuner har stora kostnader för sitt planarbete, vilka idag täcks på olika sätt. Lagstiftningen ger kommuner rätt att ta ut planavgift från de fastighetsägare vars fastigheter får nytta av planarbetet genom att bygglov ges i enlighet med planen. Planavgift kan tas ut i förskott, vilket har gett en kommunal praxis där så kallade plankostnadsavtal tecknas med den som ansöker om planläggning. ExamMunicipalities have large costs for their work with detailed development plans and area regulations. These planning costs are funded in different ways. Legislation permits municipalities to charge property owners for the planning costs of a certain plan, if the properties benefit from the plan by receiving building permits. Municipalities can charge a fee of planning when the building permits are
This paper investigates nonlinear transmissions between financial stress, monetary policy and the business cycle. Using a threshold VAR model on Swedish quarterly data the presence of nonlinearities in aforementioned transmission is corroborated by the nonlinearity-test suggested by Hansen (1996). Further, a nonlinear impulse-response analysis reveals several results worthwhile mentioning; (i) sho
Det politiska styrelseskickets inverkan på länders ekonomiska tillväxt har undersökts kvantitativt med paneldata för perioden 1960-2014. Som demokratimått användes det index som tillhandahålls av Polity IV. Analysen grundades i ett antal teoretiska resonemang kring hur politiska styrelseskick kan tänkas påverka tillväxt. Med förväntad livslängd, humankapital, befolkningstillväxt, investeringar och
Statistical arbitrage is widely used in the quantitative based trading strategies. In this paper, we mainly use Ornstein-Uhlenbeck (O-U) process model and the GARCH model to estimate the parameters and verify trading signals for the statistical arbitrage. In addition, a new model is created through the combination of O-U model and GARCH model. To estimate the models, HuangXia Bank and Industrial B
During the last three decades, the number of NGOs within the educational field in India has increased dramatically due to the Indian government struggling with providing free quality education. NGOs in India have been praised for their contribution to development, but also criticized for inefficiency and lack of accountability. This case study provides an empirical example of a NGO called Mother M
The European Unions (EU) policies’ regarding animal welfare is a complex topic to analyze in its influence on the EU Member States. There are countless studies on its implementation and influence on the countries within the EU. These studies highlight the complexity in adopting joint animal welfare legislation in countries that has different economic, political and cultural incentives. This resear
The fouling of an ultrafiltration plant, separating bleach plant effluent coming from a sulfite pulp mill, was evaluated depending on the pH value of the feed stream for both softwood and hardwood. The objective was to decrease the dosage of the alkaline substance NaOH in the first bleaching stage, without altering the performance of the ultrafiltration. Incoming feed streams, as well as permeate
By using the site-selectivity enabled by synchrotron radiation, we can choose the ionization site on a molecule. Core-ionization can result in that the molecule dissociates into charged (and uncharged) ions. With mass spectroscopy, the dissociated fragments’ mass-over-charge can be identified in a time-of-flight spectrum. Pyridine dissociation was studied for pyridine and for pyridine mixed with p
Bakgrund: På operationsavdelningen är patientsäkerhetsarbetet extra viktigt då patienten där vårdas i en högteknologisk miljö vilket gör att det ställs höga krav på dess utformning och innehåll. Arbetsdräkt, steril operationsrock, sterila handskar och specialutformad mössa som döljer allt hår är grundläggande riktlinjer för klädkoden som krävs i sterilt arbete på en operationsavdelning i Sverige.
Kristianstadsbassängen är ett område i nordöstra Skåne med sedimentära avlagringar från kritaperioden. Avlagringarna har avsatts i marin miljö genom upprepade transgressioner av havsytan, vilket har resulterat i en kalksten som bland annat utgörs av fossil från den fauna som en gång i tiden existerade. Ullstorp är en lokal i Kristianstadsbassängen och fungerar i dagsläget som ett aktivt kalkbrott.
