Information and communication technology (ICT) is ubiquitous in tourism and this changes not only tourists’ immediate behaviour, but also what tourism is. In this way, digitalisation is shifting perceptions of when tourism starts and ends, and how we can understand the term in principal ways. The aim of this working paper is to contribute to the debate about the consequences of today´s fast digita
Most of the care in nursing homes is palliative in nature, as it is the oldest and the frailest people who live in nursing homes. The aim of this study was to explore next of kin's experiences of participating in the care of older persons at nursing homes. A qualitative design was used, based on semi-structured interviews with 40 next of kin, and analyzed using qualitative content analysis. An ove
A tender offer is basically a technique to attain corporate control. It could be characterised as an offer to acquire shares of a company, whose shares are not closely held, addressed to the general body of shareholders, usually at a premium, with a view to obtaining at least sufficient shares to give the offeror voting control of the company. In the United States tender offers are governed by the
Antibiotic resistance is an ever growing problem, and is considered one of the major challenges of modern medicine. In order to avoid further development and spread of multiresistance among bacteria, the use of antibiotics should be more restrictive, and more tailored to individual cases of infection. To facilitate more directed treatments, it is crucial to be able to quickly and reliably identify
Försiktighetsprincipen har utvecklats ur insikten att då vetenskaplig säkerhet väl uppnåtts kring vad som orsakar miljöproblem, har skadan ofta redan inträffat. Principen tar därför sikte på att agera mot skada innan den uppstått, trots brister i kunskapen gällande vad som orsakar den. En mängd definitioner av principen finns till följd av det genomslag principen fått i internationella instrument The precautionary principle emerged from the insight that once scientific certainty is eventually reached concerning the causes of environmental issues, damage has often already occurred. The principle aims at acting against damage before it takes place, even though lack of knowledge about its causes exists. There are many definitions of the principle as a result of the breakthrough it has had in
Summary: Floodwater mosquitoes occur in temporary flooded areas and can cause tremendous nuisance in the near and far surroundings. In the Nedre Dalälven region in Central Sweden, mosquito control is based on application of the biological larvicide Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis (BTI) by helicopter. Precise mapping of the floodwater mosquito breeding sites, a prerequisite for successful BTI tr
Reglerna i rättegångsbalken (1942:740) som reglerar användandet av sakkunnigbevisning har i princip inte förändrats sedan balken trädde ikraft på början av 1940-talet. Detta har skapat en slags obalans mellan hur rättsordningen föreskriver att sakkunnigbevisningen ska tillämpas och hur användandet av sakkunniga faktiskt ser ut i praktiken. Uppsatsen inleds med en historisk tillbakablick där blandThe rules in the Swedish Code of Judicial Procedure that regulates the use of expert evidence have not been revised since The Code entered into force in the early 1940s. This has created a sort of imbalance between how the legal system intends the rules on expert evidence to be applied and what the use of trial experts actually looks like in practice. The essay begins with a historical background
Uppsatsen syftar till att undersöka i vilken utsträckning en arbetsgivare kan bestämma vad en arbetstagare ska ha på sig på arbetsplatsen utan att inskränka på den anställdas skydd mot att bli diskriminerad. Fokus ligger på att bena ut vad som ryms under begreppet arbetsledningsrätt när det gäller arbetstagarens utseende på jobbet samt vilka begränsningar som finns i denna fråga. En vinkel som undThe aim of this essay is to investigate the extent to which employers can decide what employees wear at work before restricting the employee's right not to be discriminated. The main focus lies in figuring out what the term managerial prerogative entails when it comes to the employee’s appearance at work including the juridical limitations in this question. One angle of the matter is consideri
Genom Europakonventionen och regeringsformen tillförsäkras den enskilde ett flertal rättigheter. Varje medborgare åtnjuter bland annat skydd till frihet och personlig säkerhet samt till privat och familjeliv, sitt hem och sin korrespondens. Dessa friheter får begränsas genom lag under förutsättning att begränsningen tillgodoser ändamål som är godtagbara i ett demokratiskt samhälle. Att utreda brotThe Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms (ECHR) and the Swedish constitution guarantee everyone a number of civil rights. Every citizen has the right to respect for his private and family life, his home and his correspondence. These rights may be limited by law, presumed that these limitations have a righteous purpose in a democratic society. Investigating crimes
There are competing standards regarding the definition of the crime of “enforced disappearance” under international law. When criminalizing enforced disappearance at the national level as part of their obligations under international law, States which adopt a more narrow definition of enforced disappearance provided in the Rome Statute require victims of enforced disappearance to prove the existen
Six-legged robots, also referred to as hexapods, can have very complex locomotion patterns and provide the means of moving on terrain where wheeled robots might fail. This thesis demonstrates the approach of using Model-Based Design to create control of such a hexapod. The project comprises the whole range from choosing of hardware, creating CAD models, development in MATLAB/Simulink and code gene
This thesis investigates how algorithmically driven features of social media platforms, specifi cally personalized recommendations, infinite scroll, auto-play and push notifications affect university students’ emotional states and academic performance. Drawing on the Stimulus - Organism - Response (SOR) framework, the study explores how these features act as digital stimuli that provoke cognitive
It is a common and tenacious understanding that the best treatments of the ill during the Middle Ages in Sweden was offered in the monasteries. In this article, this view is problematised. By introducing the anthropological concept of medical cultures, the author suggests an understanding of Middle Age leach craft and medicine as a complex web of several co-existing medical cultures. Three major m
The energy transition of housing is accelerating in parallel with economic inequality reaching historically high levels. There is thus an opportunity to reduce inequalities in living conditions, but also a risk that the costs of the transition are unequally distributed and aggravate existing inequalities. In order to seize the opportunity for a just transition, and in tandem enable a meaningful in
Background: Learning is a lifelong process and the workplace is an essential arena for professional learning. Workplace learning is particularly relevant for midwives as essential knowledge and skills are gained through clinical work. A clinical practice known as ‘Collegial Midwifery Assistance’ (CMA), which involves two midwives being present during the active second stage of labour, was found to

Objectives: This study aims to determine the independent impact of definitions of remission/low disease activity (LDA) on direct/indirect costs (DCs, ICs) in a multicentre inception cohort. Methods: Patients from 31 centres in 10 countries were enrolled within 15 months of diagnosis and assessed annually. Five mutually exclusive disease activity states (DAS) were defined as (1) remission off-treat
Moving into a nursing home is a significant transition for older people which can be emotional and stressful. The literature on the decision to move and subsequent residential stress focuses on the time after admission; however, there is less understanding of older people’s management of the process.
