The prejudice states that socially corrosive behaviour (socialt nedbrytande beteende) that can be viewed as a symptom of a psychiatric disability, e g ADHD and disability in the austism-spectra, not can be used to define socially corrosive behaviour in the meaning of 3 § LVU. From that starting point this pape
Today the amonut of new construktions are almost at the same level as in the “miljon program” therfore the way of building the construktions have gone to more and more prefabricated. The construcktionsite have more and more gone to become a place there finsiched elements comes and are being merged with others. This demands that we hold tolerances of every element/ field very well. Scientific assi
Where there are humans there is also waste. When studying archaeology waste is one of the most important objects to analyse. In our society waste is however far from treasured, or is it? Sweden imports more waste than it produces and turns it into energy. The density of minerals is higher in landfills than at its original source with waste being transported all over the world there is a seemingly
At Lund University Faculty of Technology a growing number of teachers develop active student learning methods. These methods can have some advantages in obtaining certain objectives with higher education. To take responsibility for the own learning process and also to learn how to independently handle information and use it in an adequate way are important skills to achieve during an university ed
Syftet med denna avhandling har varit att undersöka tvångsvårdens legitimitet. För det ändamålet har jag genomfört, spelat in och transkriberat kvalitativa intervjuer med 80 klienter – som var föremål för LVM-vård våren 2006 – samt deras socialsekreterare när klienterna dels var intagna på LVM-hem och dels vid en uppföljning cirka sex månader efter tvångsvårdens slut. Avhandlingen utgår från fem The aim of this dissertation was to examine the legitimacy and the legitimizing of compulsory care for substance abusers according to LVM. For this purpose I have conducted, recorded and transcribed qualitative interviews with 80 clients – taken into such care in spring 2006 – and their social welfare officers when the clients were in compulsory care and then again about six months after its termi
he present research examines the impact of temporal distance on moral concerns in situations where selfish motives clash with altruistic considerations. Drawing upon Construal Level Theory (Trope & Liberman, 2003) which posits that abstract, high-level features of events and social values take on more weight with greater temporal distance, we hypothesized that moral concerns should be higher f
This article explores the ever-shifting semantics and semiotics of the concept “indígena” in the Bolivian Andes, and argues that “indigeneity” is charged with different meanings by different actors in changing contexts of territorial and social struggles and state governance. The article focuses on the discourse and politics of the indigenous Andean organization CONAMAQ and its response to changi
One consequence of migration of large populations from Middle East and North Africa to Europe is that European legal systems meet various forms of Islamic law. In some cases, for example the dissolution of a marriage entered in a foreign state, European courts in some circumstances have to take foreign laws based on the Islamic tradition into consideration within the framework of international pri
Infections and technical problems are the most frequent complications when using implantable central venous access devices in patients with haemophilia. There are two major experiences reported concerning infections in noninhibitor patients: one is approximately 0.2 infections per 1000 days and the other approximately 1.0 (0.7-1.6) per 1000 days. Infections are more frequent in inhibitor patients
Elasticity is the ability of a cloud infrastructure to dynamically change the amount of resources allocated to a running service as load changes. We build an autonomous elasticity controller that changes the number of virtual machines allocated to a service based on both monitored load changes and predictions of future load. The cloud infrastructure is modeled as a G=G=N queue. This model is used
This paper will present an ongoing survey of the production and distribution of commercial paper patterns for home sewing in Sweden, focusing on three different pattern magazines. Two of the magazines initially offered paper patterns until the 1960s when they changed to offering patterns cut out in fabric. The survey is the first part of the research project, titled, Reading Patterns: Women, Cloth
Background: Mental health problems are prevalent among adolescents with severe obesity, but long-term mental health outcomes after adolescent bariatric surgery are not well known. We aimed to assess mental health outcomes over 5 years of follow-up after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery in adolescents who participated in the Adolescent Morbid Obesity Surgery (AMOS) study. Methods: This was a non-ra
Ultrafast fluorescence spectroscopy was used to investigate the hole injection in CdxSeyZn1-xS1-y gradient core-shell quantum dot (CSQD) sensitized p-type NiO photocathodes. A series of CSQDs with a wide range of shell thicknesses was studied. Complementary photoelectrochemical cell measurements were carried out to confirm that the hole injection from the active core through the gradient shell to
It is well known that the electricity price varies between days but also withinthe day, sometimes even resulting in negative prices. Flexible production unitscould take advantage of those variations by adapting the production accordingly. However, few studies exists that compare the cost effectiveness of different types of production units while taking these within day price variations into accoun
In the last decade, many museums that were established in the 20th century by immigrants from the Nordic countries have become increasingly concerned with broadening their audiences and more actively engaging their visitors. Efforts to do this have varied from offering cocktail hours, culinary conferences, and sauna sessions, to striving to appeal to people who may not identify as Nordic or do not
We argue that the neoliberal tradition and new public management reforms of the public sector effectively erode the core (liberal) democratic values of the rule of law and transparency. The tension between public law and managerially-influenced governmental policy is in practice resolved by the emergence of what we call “shadow management” in public administration, whereby managerial decisions tha
