Denna studie undersöker hur syriska och ukrainska flyktingar är representerade i svensk media. Frågorna som ställs är hur medias representation av flyktingar 2015 och 2022 skiljer sig åt, och i vilken utsträckning de representeras som individer med mänskliga rättigheter. Studien använder sig av tryckta nyhetsartiklar publicerade av den svenska nyhetstidningen Aftonbladet under de två tidsperiodernThis study examines the ways Syrian and Ukrainian refugees are represented in Swedish media. The questions posed are how media’s representation of refugees in 2015 and 2022 differentiate, and to what extent they are represented as subjects of human rights. The study makes use of printed news articles published by the Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet during the two time periods. The theoretical framew

Assistive robots have received considerable research attention due to the increase of the senior population around the world and the shortage of care-givers. However, limited attention has been paid to involving seniors in the de-sign process in order to elicit their attitudes and perceptions of having their own robot. This study addresses this issue. We conducted a workshop with 14 Swe-dish senio

Syftet med studien var att utreda vilka behov av stöd och information som uppstår hos kvinnor med nydiagnostiserad bröstcancer samt att reda ut hur sjuksköterskorna kan tillgodose dessa behov. Metoden bestod av granskning och analys av tio vetenskapliga artiklar, vilka hämtades ur PubMed, Cinahl och genom manuell sökning. Resultatet visade att det finns ett stort informationsbehov. Vid diagnostill

Storm surges combine the power of two natural hazards, strong winds and flooding, and can have devastating effects on people, infrastructure, and nature in coastal areas. Ongoing global changes, including rising sea levels and shifting storm patterns, are expected to increase both the frequency and amplitude of such events in the future. There are, however, significant regional variations and some

The DNA ploidy level of 673 accessions belonging to 238 species of Hieracium have been analyzed by flow cytometry. 222 of the species were of Scandinavian origin as members of the exclusively apomictic H. sectt. Bifida, Hieracium, Oreadea, Tridentata and Vulgata. For the overwhelming majority of the species, the ploidy level (or chromosme number) has never been investigated before. Approximately 5

Background: Whether correction of anemia in patients with stage 3 or 4 chronic kidney disease improves cardiovascular outcomes is not established. Methods: We randomly assigned 603 patients with an estimated glomerular filtration rate (GFR) of 15.0 to 35.0 ml per minute per 1.73 m(sup 2) of body-surface area and mild-to-moderate anemia (hemoglobin level, 11.0 to 12.5 g per deciliter) to a target h

In this paper, a system level model for a polymer electrolyte fuel cell (PEFC) system, which is capable of characterizing transient behavior using the control volume method, is developed. Three different cases based on different mass transfer assumptions in the cathode channel are explicitly discussed, i.e., considering the presence of 1) only oxygen, 2) both oxygen and nitrogen or 3) oxygen as we

Burkholderia pseudomallei is the etiological agent of melioidosis, a severe infectious disease of humans and animals. The role of the bacterium's proteins expressed in vivo during human melioidosis continues to remain an enigma. This study's aim was to identify B. pseudomallei target proteins that elicit the humoral immune response in infected humans. A small insert genomic expression library was

The information of water level variations in lakes and reservoirs is essential for many applications such as water resources management. The conventional in-situ measurements of water levels based on gauge station are often rarely available or difficult to be shared to the public especially for lakes in the developing countries and transboundary basins. Satellite altimetry provides an alternative

A method for calculating energy levels and wavefunctions of bound states associated with deep impurity centres in semiconductors is presented. The impurity system is replaced by a crystal, whose unit cell consists of the impurity surrounded by a large number of host crystal atoms. The impurity bands for this crystal, represented by a real potential, are calculated by expanding in orthogonalised Bl

It has been a common practice both in Sweden and worldwide to enclose nuclear reactors with prestressed concrete structures. The prestress level decreases with time from its initial value due to various degradation mechanisms. To ensure that the prestress level is sufficient the tendon force is measured at regular in-service inspections. The intention with this paper is to present a reliability-ba

A brief review is given of some fundamental aspects of high-resolution core-level photoemission and of its application to studies of pure and adsorbate covered metal surfaces. We first give a short description of the basic theory and then turn to a number of examples. The first group of examples is aimed at demonstrating the use of core-level binding energy shifts for deriving the surface and inte

Lake Poopo, within the large Altiplano basin of Bolivia, is connected upstream to Lake Titicaca and downstream to the salares, the big salt fields. Small changes in precipitation and river inflows strongly affect the extent of the lake surface area. For times when there are no satellite images, it is difficult to determine the extent of the lake from observations. Water balance computations were p

Current optical space telescopes rely upon silicon charge-coupled devices (CCDs) to detect and image the incoming photons. The performance of a CCD detector depends on its ability to transfer electrons through the silicon efficiently, so that the signal from every pixel may be read out through a single amplifier. This process of electron transfer is highly susceptible to the effects of solar proto
