Denna uppsats ämnar undersöka om och i vilken utsträckning blivande mödrar har möjlighet att begära att förlösas med hjälp av kejsarsnitt då det inte föreligger någon medicinsk indikation. Uppsatsen undersöker hur kvinnors begäran om kejsarsnitt hanteras i praktiken av de nationella vårdinrättningarna. Vidare undersöker uppsatsen vilken lagstadgad rätt blivande mödrar har att välja förlossningsmetThis thesis investigates whether and to what extent expectant mothers have the opportunity, to request to be delivered by caesarean section when there is no medical indication. The thesis examines how women’s request for a caesarean section is handled in practice, by the national health care institutions. Furthermore, the thesis examines which statutory right expectant mothers have to choose the m

Popular Abstract in Swedish Inom kemin kan uppbyggnaden av molekylära aggregat styras genom att använda sig av kovalenta bindningar eller genom att utnyttja svaga växelverkningar. Den moderna kemin baseras på många års grundforskning på reaktionsförlopp där bildningen av en kovalent bindning stått i fokus vilket har gjort det möjligt att förutsäga utfallet av en sådan reaktion. Däremot är det betyThis thesis is devoted to the development and investigation of a supramolecular system used to catalyze Jacobsen-Katsuki epoxidations with the aim to attain substrate selectivity without product inhibition. The supramolecular catalyst is composed of two well-defined entities or units: a catalytic and a receptor. The keyword for the design was flexibility. The interactions foming the supramolecula

Popular Abstract in Swedish Det mesta i min avhandling handlar om utveckling av uppreningsprocesser i läkemedelsindurstin. Den stora kostnaden för läkemedelsföretagen ligger oftast inte i att producera ett läkemedel, utan att ta fram en produkt. Det är också långt ifrån alla kandidater till läkemedel som till slut blir en produkt. Detta kan till exempel bero på att kandidaten inte var tillräckligtIn my thesis, I have modeled adsorption chromatography and simulated, calibrated, and analyzed models of adsorption chromatography. While my main focus has been modeling and calibration of the models by estimating the parameters, the models used have been partly new. The simulations are differentiated from the modeling in that the modeling describes the partial differential algebraic equation, whi

Andris Blekte säger att man inte kan lära sig avspänning genom att läsa om den. När folk genom åren har frågat honom om litteratur i ämnet avspänning, har han alltid svarat att de borde lägga sig ner på golvet istället för att leta i böcker. Och ändå är detta en skrift om avspänning. Men inte någon handbok! Det går inte att med denna skrift i sin hand göra alla de övningar som skriften beskriver.

Popular Abstract in Swedish Till alla de som har undrat vad det är som jag har hållit på med under alla dessa år men inte vågat att fråga. Jag har arbetat med kloning av gener som kodar för olika enzymer. Enzymer finns i alla levande celler och fungerar som katalysatorer (hjälpare) i olika biokemiska reaktioner. Deras uppgift är att påskynda reaktionshastigheten utan att själva förbrukas i reaktiPart I: Plant peroxidases are useful in many areas of application e.g. as tracer enzymes for clinical applications and in biosensors as well as for industrial purposes like in waste water treatment and bleaching processes. A gene encoding a new, neutral horseradish peroxidase isoenzyme, HRP-n, was isolated. The encoded protein shows only 50% sequence identity with the classical HRP-C and lacks the

How should we respond to a criminal offence committed by a young person? It is obvious that this is a very complex question. Multiple factors play important roles: the offence itself, but also the juvenile’s background in terms of education, socialization, prior convictions, etc. Every case is unique, but the criminal legal system has to follow the principles of legal certainty and predictability.How should we respond to a criminal offence committed by a young person?

The current use of a 30 million year dateline for accepting genera in the Parmeliaceae is evaluated. Its value is doubtful since evolution obviously went quicker in some lichen groups compared with others. Parallel evolution is also very common among lichens. Polyphyletic genera should always be split, while sister groups may remain split or be combined after considering non-molecular characters.

The topic of social equity in transport planning has been dealt with in particular by authors such as Martens (2012) and Martens and Golob (2012) using a social justice based approach. However, such an approach, whilst valuable and analytically rigorous (based as it is on accessibility modelling), does not consider a wide range of possible other social impacts of transport, as set out in a framewoThe topic of social equity in transport planning has been dealt with in particular by authors such as Martens (2012) and Martens and Golob (2012) using a social justice based approach.

Delegating tasks from a human to a robot needs an efficient and easy-to-use communication pipeline between them - especially when inexperienced users are involved. This work presents a robotic system that is able to bridge this communication gap by exploiting 3D sensing for gesture recognition and real-time object segmentation. We visually extract an unknown object indicated by a human through a p

For metallic glasses, it is of vital importance to understand the glass formation properties and to be able to predict the crystallization process in the supercooled liquid. In the present work, we model the process of nucleation and growth using a combination of classical nucleation and phase-field theory. A diffusion coupled phase-field model is used to evaluate the work of formation and the gro

We examine the causes and policy implications of strategic (willful) ignorance of risk as an excuse to overengage in risky health behavior. In an experiment on Copenhagen adults, we allow subjects to choose whether to learn the calorie content of a meal before consuming it, and measure their subsequent calorie intake.

Ökande rovdjurspopulationer innebär att fler människor kommer att beröras av de stora rovdjurens närvaro. Detta skapar hos en del människor oro och rädsla. Rovdjursförvaltningen behöver hitta olika vägar för att svara på allmänhetens oro. Syftet med föreliggande projekt var att utvärdera hur informationsmöten utformade enligt psykologiska principer inverkar på allmänhetens rädsla för att möta björ

Varje år ökar världens energiförbrukning på grund av befolkningstillväxt och ökande levnadsstandard. Vi står inför många stora problem, till exempel klimatförändringar, uttömning av fossila energikällor (t. ex. petroleum, kol och naturgas) och miljöföroreningar. Därför är det brådskande att söka efter förnyelsebar energi och hur människor kan använda energi så effektivt och ändamålsenligt som möjlThe demand and consumption of energy is increasing dramatically all around the world. Broad adoption of fossil fuels has triggered an enormous threat to the environment. To ensure sustainability of our species and habitat, new solutions to fulfill the energy demand have to be found. Innovative materials offer the possibility to generate scalable renewable energy, which is efficient and environment

The Syrian civil war has been described as a first example of the conflicts expected in the wake of climate change. The conflict, which started in 2011, was preceded by a severe drought in 2007–2009 that hit agriculture and the rural population hard. But what do we really know about what happened to Syria’s climate and agriculture before and after the start of the conflict? In this article, I summ

Since the 1990s, economic policy instruments have become increasingly important to Swedish climate policy. To understand the characteristics of current systems, this paper presents an analysis of the development of economic policy instruments since the 1950s, with a focus on Swedish industry. Since the introduction of energy taxation, industry has received preferential treatment in the interests o
