For people with learning disabilities care in institutions has been replaced by a life in community settings e.g. group homes, where a number of persons (4-5) are living with staff support. My case-studies cover three elderly and three more lately produced such units as well as a ward in a nursing home. Data were gathered through participant observations and semistructured interviews with staff an

This Norm focussing article starts exploring the various influence processes that take place in connection with the dawn of a new theme - the environment and then sustainable development - in today's society. The Swedish society has in the early 1990-ies declared that educational institutions, places designed for the intentional influence, shall utilise the new environmental theme in its practice.

My paper is the introduction to my next book in the series 'The humanist as Engineer'. In my work, I have been deeply influenced by Don Ihde and his postphenomenological approach to the philosophy of technology. As Ihde’s postphenomenology, my approach is historical and differs strongly from the 'pure' phenomenological approach in spite of being connected with it through many common references. In

Lubyanka- IIIrd Floor. Memoirs of the KGB-chairman Vladimir Semichastny This book (published in Czech language in 1998) gives the reader a chance to follow the development of those times as seen by one of the most powerful men of his days - the highest predecessor of the Commitee for State Security at the Council of Ministers of the USSR (better known under the abbreviation KGB). Considering his

Recently, intense research activities have been focused on solution-processed hybrid lead halide perovskite semiconductors which are being developed for the solar-cell, light emitting diode (LED), and lasing applications. To optimize and fabricate a competitive perovskite-based optoelectronic device, the fundamental studies of the electronic structure, photo-generated carrier dynamics as well as t

As researchers we are often faced with the difficult and demanding task of preparing models, and their computer implementations, for decision making, or, more recently, for integrated assessment. Such assessment often involves large scale problems, where the decisions to be made can deeply affect the environment, the social context and the economic background of regions and even nations. Yet, we f

During the 1980s the word ’postmodernism’ was inserted into the dicourse of Swedish literature in a curious way. Even though both writers and critics found the word bewildering – or deemed it a buzzword devoid of meaning – it sparked fierce debates. Despite this, and despite the fact that few wanted to be associated with the word, it has become common to describe the 1980s as the era of Swedish li

Adult neural stem/progenitor cells (NSPs) are multipotent and self-renew over an extensive period of time. Transformation events in such cells, such as genetic or epigenetic alterations can result in brain tumors. One goal of research on brain tumors is to identify which regulators are impaired during tumor initiation, development and maintenance in order to understand the origin of brain tumors a

Diversity in lifestyles and socioeconomic status among European populations, and recent socio-political and economic changes in transitional countries, may affect changes in adiposity. We aimed to determine whether change in the prevalence of obesity varies between the socio-politically transitional North-East European (Łódź, Poland; Szeged, Hungary; Tartu, Estonia), and the non-transitional Medit

Soon after the annexation of Crimea by the Russian Federation in March 2014, a peak moment in the events commonly referred to as the Ukraine crisis (Wilson A, Ukraine crisis. What it means to the West? Yale University Press, New Haven, 2014), media in Estonia and abroad started to speculate about whether Russia would stop at Crimea, or if Estonia, with its sizable Russian-speaking minority, would

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is the most common form of acute leukemia in adults, with mutations in the NPM1 gene occurring in almost one third of all cases. The ability to detect residual leukemia below the resolution of conventional microscopy is crucial for evaluation of relapse risk after therapy. In principle, this can be achieved by measuring residual disease (MRD) with two different approac

The topic of human migration and displacement has become more important in recent years and will continue to do so in the following decades. Voices become louder claiming that climate change is a driving factor for increased displacement and migration. Increasing unsuitable living conditions due to unpredictable weather patterns and increased number of extreme events are putting pressure on the so

Rättegångskostnadernas fördelning i tvistemål regleras sedan 1948 i 18 kap. RB. Av 18 kap. 4 § framgår hur fördelningen ska ske då part har flera yrkanden, eller då part endast har ett yrkande, men talan endast delvis bifalls. Innan RB:s införande reglerades fördelningen av rättegångskostnaderna i 21 kap. ÄRB. Bägge lagarna bygger på samma huvudregel, att tappande part ska betala vinnande parts räThe distribution of costs in civil proceedings are, since 1948, governed by Chapter 18 of RB. Paragraph 4 regulates how the distribution should be made when the case of one of the parties consists of several claims, or when one of the parties only have a single claim, but the case is only partially upheld by the court. Before the introduction of RB, the allocation of costs were in Chapter 21 of ÄR

-The purpose of this work is to investigate and identify the most efficacious methods to optimize train maintenance and operations during winter months. The study analyzes scheduled and unscheduled maintenance problems during winter months and considers various options on how to streamline current methods and procedures by identifying key areas and addressing optimization. This study presents prop

Under de senaste 10 åren har cirka en miljon människor sökt asyl i Sverige varav hela 163 000 enbart under 2015 när den stora flyktingvågen tog fart i världen. Detta satte stor press på Sveriges hantering av flyktingar och framförallt kommunernas bostadsförsörjningsansvar. Den 1 mars 2016 införde regeringen beslutet att kommunerna är skyldiga att ta emot ett visst antal nyanlända i syfte att ge deDuring the last 10 years approximately one million people have applied for asylum in Sweden and 163 000 only during the big stream of immigrants in 2015. This put a huge pressure on the Swedish management of immigrants and the housing for this group of people. The 1st of March 2016 the Swedish Government introduced a law where the Swedish municipalities are obligated to receive a certain number of

Att det dödliga våldet har ökat de senaste åren är svårt att undgå. Speciellt har våldet ökat inom den kriminella miljön. Detta ställer högre krav på både de brottsbekämpande myndigheterna och lagstiftaren i att skapa nya och fler åtgärder för att bekämpa denna brottslighet. En av dessa åtgärder har varit att utöka möjligheten för bland annat polisen att använda sig av hemlig avlyssning av elektroThe fact that the deadly violence has increased in recent years is hard to circumvent. It is within the criminal environment that the deadly violence has increased particularly. This places higher demands on both the law enforcement authorities and the legislature in creating new and more measures to combat this criminal behavior. One of these measures has been to expand the possibility for the po

I den rättspolitiska debatten pekar vissa åklagare på ett växande problem – att misstänkta utnyttjar rätten till tystnad genom att framföra sin berättelse först under huvudförhandlingen då de fått ta del av all bevisning. Detta sägs leda till felaktiga frikännande domar på grund av omedelbarhetsprincipen. I denna kontext har förslag om att införa en variant av Danmarks grundlagsförhör och deras beIn the ongoing legal debates, some prosecutors highlight a growing problem – that suspects seem to be exploiting the right to silence by holding back their statements until the main hearing after they've seen all the evidence. They argue that this tactic leads to wrongful acquittals due to the principle of immediateness. In this context, proposals to introduce a variant of Denmark's consti
