The project examines how a dog carrier for the rear seat of the car can be designed to provide safety and improve user experience, for dog and human. To include both of the users throughout the process, an animal-human centred design approach was applied. The report presents the concept development process of the dog carrier and evaluates how selected methods fulfil the design approach. Initially
Den 1 januari 2020 inkorporerades barnkonventionen till svensk lag. Inkorporeringens bakomliggande syfte ska ha varit att beslutsfattare nu ska ta barnets bästa i större beaktning än vad som tidigare har gjorts. Ett område där barnets bästa har en stor betydelse är beslutsfattande inom LVU. Uppsatsens syfte är att utreda hur beslutsfattandet inom LVU förhåller sig till barnets bästa. I LVU liggerOn the 1st of January 2020, the UN convention on the Rights of the Child was incorporated into Swedish law. The purpose of the incorporation was to make the decision maker officers take the best interest of the child in a bigger consideration than they have done before. One area where the best interest of the child has a big meaning is within the law (1990:52) with special regulation regarding the
Att straffa eller att inte straffa unga lagöverträdare och i vilken utsträckning; det är den pågående debatten i Sverige idag. Mer specifikt, huruvida man ska lagföra 18-21 åringar som vuxna snarare än ungdomar. Det torde sig naturligt att individer som anses vara vuxna, lagligen om inte annat, också skall betraktas vuxna nog att kunna stå inför anklagelser i sin fulla omfattning för deras begångnTo punish or not to punish young offenders and to what extent; that is the ongoing debate in Sweden as of today. More specifically, whether or not to prosecute 18-21 year olds as adults rather than youngsters. It would deem natural that individuals considered adults, legally at least, should also be considered adult enough to face charges in its full extent for their committed crimes. However, thi
The political participation of women is an important indicator of the degree of gender equality in certain country. In India, which is often referred to as the world’s largest democracy, the national parliament consists of only 11 % women. In a vast majority of India’s 28 states the female representation in their respective legislative assemblies is even less. However, when five states were holdin
Bakgrund: Äldre är en stor och växande grupp i befolkningen. Brister inom slutenvård är ett problem då det saknas rätt kompetens och bemanning på landets sjukhus. Det krävs professionell vård och ett etiskt förhållningssätt i vårdmötet med den äldre patienten. Den kunskap som sjuksköterskan har och den vetenskap som inhämtas är en förutsättning för att kunna tillgodose patienten den mest adekvata Background: The elderly are a large and growing group. Deficiencies in patient care is a problem as there is a lack of the right skillset as well as staffing level in hospitals around the country. Professional care and an ethical approach are required in the care-meeting with elderly patients. The scientific knowledge that the nurse has acquired is a prerequisite for being able to provide the pati
The effects of self-assembly on the hydrolysis kinetics of surfactants that contain ester bonds are discussed. A number of examples on how reaction rates and apparent reaction orders can be modulated by changes in the conditions, including an instance of apparent zero-order kinetics, are presented. Furthermore, it is shown that the examples on reaction kinetics display parallels and connections to
Software inspection is a method to detect faults in the early phases of the software life cycle. In order to estimate the number of faults not found, capture-recapture was introduced for software inspections in 1992 to estimate remaining faults after an inspection. Since then, several papers have been written in the area, concerning the basic theory, evaluation of models and application of the met
This thesis reports the work done in the development of a modified Lean Premix Prevaporised (LPP) burner for the use in Alstom Power Sweden’s industrial gas turbines. Incentive for the development of the modified burner have been the need to increase the flame stability over the operating range for the burner, especially for the liquid fuel but also the gaseous fuel operation. Foundation for modif
Popular Abstract in Swedish Att ha en allvarlig hjärtsjukdom är oftast förknippat med oro och rädsla. När det bestäms att patienten ska genomgå en planerad hjärtoperation, kan det vara avgörande för patientens och de närståendes välbefinnande hur de bemöts av all hälso- och sjukvårdspersonal, som de kommer i kontakt med under väntetiden samt vilket stöd de då upplever. Att korrekt och saklig inforPatients waiting for cardiac surgery often consider the period from the decision for surgery to the time for the operation as long, heavy and dreary. Therefore, it is important that patients are supplied with structured oral and written information regarding their disease and its treatment, so that they are able to understand and discuss the forthcoming operation, the risk of complications and the
Common diseases such as type 2 diabetes are phenotypically heterogeneous. Obesity is a major risk factor for type 2 diabetes, but patients vary appreciably in body mass index. We hypothesized that the genetic predisposition to the disease may be different in lean (BMI<25 Kg/m(2)) compared to obese cases (BMI >= 30 Kg/m(2)). We performed two case-control genome-wide studies using two accepted cut-o

The scientific study of mysticism includes at least the following dimensions: the mystical experience, its consequences in the life of the mystic, ritual behavior, and intellectual and traditional aspects. The author distinguishes between two types of mystical experience: the cataphatic type and the apophatic type, also know as via affirmativa and the via negativa. The study is psychological in th
To provide a new reconstruction of the deglaciation of the Fennoscandian Ice Sheet, in the form of calendar-year time-slices, which are particularly useful for ice sheet modelling, we have compiled and synthesized published geomorphological data for eskers, ice-marginal formations, lineations, marginal meltwater channels, striae, ice-dammed lakes, and geochronological data from radiocarbon, varve,
The aims of this study were to explore and generate an understanding of the meaning of body awareness through explanations of the experience of body awareness given by professionals and patients in psychiatric rehabilitation. A total of 20 strategically selected healthy informants were interviewed individually and in groups. Thirteen previous interviews with physiotherapists and 11 previous interv
Large increases in regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) have been measured in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) following the administration of L-DOPA, but the underlying mechanisms have remained unknown. In this study, we have used rats with unilateral 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) lesions as a model of PD in order to compare the patterns of rCBF and regional cerebral glucose utilisation (rCGU)
Phytase production using Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3), a recombinant strain harboring a plasmid encoding thermostable Bacillus phytase, in semi-industrial scale was studied in this work. Among the factors needed to be considered in order to achieve high enzyme yield, aeration rate plays an important role. Suitable aeration is required to supply cells with sufficient amount of air for cell and phyta
Petrostates face an unprecedented crisis as oil and gas revenues, on which their economies and states are built upon, are set to diminish rapidly the coming 20 years. The decline in revenues is an effect of the adopted climate policies in the major oil consuming countries that, together with a strong development of renewable energy, reduces the future demand for oil and gas.

Context. The Large and Small Magellanic Clouds (LMC and SMC, respectively) are the brightest satellites of the Milky Way (MW), and for the last thousand million years they have been interacting with one another. As observations only provide a static picture of the entire process, numerical simulations are used to interpret the present-day observational properties of these kinds of systems, and mos
This thesis emanates from the discursive gap between a medical discourse andexperience-driven knowledges in mental health aspects of hormonal contraceptives.The tensions and fractures between a medical discourse focusing on contraceptiveeffectiveness and largely refuting any significant adverse outcomes, and experiencebasednarratives of commonplace detrimental, or at least unwelcome and unpleasant
