Uppsatsen försöker att ta ett samlat rättssociologiskt grepp om kränkningsersättningen som är den viktigaste formen av brottsskadeersättning (under år 2006 betalade Brottsoffermyndighe-ten ut över 81 miljoner konor i kränkningsersättning). Hur dessa skador värderas och konstrueras speglar samhällets rättskultur och ger upphov till en rad rättssociologiska frågeställningar om rättens roll och samsp

The influence of temperature, salts, pH, and various pre-treatments and cleaning on the nanofiltration (NF) performance of thin-film polyamide (PA) composite membranes has been investigated. The change in membrane performance was correlated to membrane swelling or/and electroviscous friction. Aspects of costs and energy demand while using NF at elevated temperatures were also evaluated. The increa

Popular Abstract in Swedish Hos människan lever en rad mikroorganismer som tillsammans utgör normalfloran. Normalfloran återfinns på alla kroppsytor, det vill säga huden och slemhinnorna i munnen, svalget, magsäcken, tunn- och tjocktarmen, vagina och urinrörsmynningen. Samspelet mellan människokroppen och mikroorganismerna utsätts dagligen för påfrestningar. En sådan naturlig påfrestning är de sjuThis thesis is concerned with a family of bacterial surface proteins expressed by different strains of the anaerobic Gram-positive, commensal and human pathogen Peptostreptococcus magnus. These proteins have been studied with respect to their role in virulence, function, structure, and evolution. Strains isolated from patients with vaginosis have previously been shown to be associated with express

This chapter introduces basic differences between Free/Open Source Enterprise Resources Planning systems (FOS-ERP) and Proprietary ERP (P-ERP), revisiting the previous work of Carvalho (2008). Taking into account that some years has passed and the economic downturn came, it updates key aspects of FOS-ERP under both vendor and adopter perspectives. Like its predecessor, this chapter contributes to

We develop a representation of reverse-time migration (RTM) in terms of Fourier integral operators, the canonical relations of which are graphs. Through the dyadic parabolic decomposition of phase space, we obtain the solution of the wave equation with a boundary source and homogeneous initial conditions using wave packets. On this basis, we develop a numerical procedure for the reverse-time conti

Cinnamoyl-CoA reductase (CCR), an enzyme central to the lignin biosynthetic pathway, represents a promising biotechnological target to reduce lignin levels and to improve the commercial viability of lignocellulosic biomass. However, silencing of the CCR gene results in considerable flux changes of the general and monolignol-specific lignin pathways, ultimately leading to the accumulation of variou

Although the main aim of clubfoot correction is to create a foot without limitations in daily activities and sport, studies on the walking capacity of children with corrected clubfeet are rare. In this cross-sectional study, the outcome of the six-minute walking test in 44 children with clubfeet (16 unilateral and 28 bilateral, mean age 8.57±2.45 years) was compared with the reference values of Ge

Abstract To estimate the timescale of hepatitis B virus (HBV) evolutionary history and analyzing its phylogeographic patterns, publically available HBV sequences were collected from GenBank. Among those, 412 sequences were from genotype A and 566 sequences were from genotype D. These sequences comprised the entire genome and represented samples obtained between 1982 and 2009 from different parts

Att ha en religion, tro eller övertygelse är en absolut mänsklig rättighet och får inte begränsas på något vis. Friheten att utöva sin religion eller övertygelse är också en skyddad rättighet, dock behöver den begränsas för att inte kränka andra individers friheter och rättigheter. I vilken utsträckning en arbetsgivare kan begränsa en arbetstagares religiösa uttryck på arbetsplatsen är ett omdebat

Forest plantations play a crucial role in the livelihoods of Rwandan people. They provide valuable wood resources, such as timber and biomass energy. The first plantations created in the colonial period from 1920 to 1948 contained only exotic Eucalyptus species, which is thought to out-perform native species in terms of more rapid wood production. Over time, this resulted in the domination of non-

Esta investigación analiza la feria agroecológica UNIMINUTO, un ejemplo destacado de economía solidaria y de consumo sostenible en Bogotá, Colombia. Al utilizar la teoría de las prácticas sociales y entrevistas semi-estructuradas con 10 consumidores frecuentes, este estudio identifica las principales motivaciones de los consumidores para asistir a este espacio, que incluyen el apoyo a los productoThis research examines the UNIMINUTO agroecological fair, a prominent example of solidarity economy and sustainable consumption in Bogotá, Colombia. Employing a social practice theory lens and semi-structured interviews with ten frequent attendees, this study identifies key consumer motivations, including support for local producers, product quality, health benefits, knowledge acquisition, and the

As climate change and unsustainable waste practices present major global challenges, effective waste management in developing countries becomes critically important. In South Africa, organic waste constitutes a significant share of general waste and is often landfilled, contributing to methane emissions and serious health risks for the population. In response, the Western Cape province has introdu

Carbon emissions from buildings have inherently dynamic characteristics since buildings evolve over time. Most previous studies, however, implemented static building carbon regimes, ignoring the temporal variation of many factors that govern carbon emissions of buildings. This research explores the influences of four dynamic factors acting on building carbon emissions: dynamic climate change data,

Municipal biowaste has a high potential for agricultural use. However, it requires an additional amendment to increase the nutritional content used during the composting process. The purpose of this study was to investigate the selection of compost-enhancing amendments from municipal biowaste using bibliometric and multicriteria analysis. The municipality of Yopal (Casanare, Colombia) was chosen a

Active learning is increasingly implemented in higher education, yet students' perspectives on this pedagogical approach remain diverse. This study explores geoscience students' views on active learning within a course at the University of Bergen (UiB) and in relation to their broader study program. Through longitudinal qualitative interviews with two student cohorts, we identified seven main cate

Introduction: Falls among hospitalized older adults increase morbidity, prolong hospital stays, and raise healthcare costs. Sensor-based technologies and medical devices are emerging tools for fall prevention, but their clinical effectiveness remains uncertain. This systematic review aimed to assess their effectiveness in reducing inpatient falls, staff workload, and physical restraint use in hosp
