Nursing homes are a setting in which death and dying is common. How death and dying is articulated and the actions that take place in a nursing home constitute a discourse that guides the staff in their work. The aim of this study was to explore the discourse of death and dying in nursing homes from the perspective and understanding of the staff. The study draws on Foucault’s discourse analysis. D
The difficulty of predicting returns has recently motivated researchers to start looking for tests that are either more powerful or robust to more features of the data. Unfortunately, the way that these tests work typically involves trading robustness for power or vice versa. The current paper takes this as its starting point to develop a new panel-based approach to predictability that is both rob
Turbulent flow and thermal field were predicted in a square-sectioned 180° bend at a Reynolds number of 56000. Suga's low-Re cubic k-ε model [5-6] and the RSM [7-8] were used. The results were compared to experimental data [1]. Identical inlet boundary conditions were used in both cases. The inlet length impact on the flow-heat transfer in the bend was investigated. The velocities are higher near
In a society facing rising sea levels and the associated challenges, such as flooding, there is a growing need for climate adaptation measures. This thesis aims to examine climate adaptation efforts in the region of Skåne, Sweden, by exploring the role of insurance companies – an important stakeholder in the housing market as insurance is a requirement for most bank loans – in urban planning. Addi
This bachelor's thesis focuses on how scaling the pool diameter affects flammable liquids in an oxygen reduction system (ORS). This topic in the study of pool fire behavior in hypoxic air has been only lightly discussed in previous literature. Therefore, the goal of this thesis work is to further broaden the understanding of hypoxic air. This is done through experimental studies, examination o
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
Detta arbete behandlar frågan ifall det endast krävs att en människa är medborgare i en stat för att hen ska få ta del av alla de medborgerliga och mänskliga rättigheterna, eller om det finns ytterligare villkor så som skötsamhet? I Sverige lever 34 000 medborgare i hemlöshet, varav 40% av dessa har någon form av missbruks-eller beroendeproblematik. Jag försöker få svar på hur den svenska staten f
Sustainable development as a policy concept has during the last twenty years developed into a huge field where the environmental, economic and social areas of society are being intertwined. And the aim of these policies is to reach the goal of a global sustainable future for all. Even though, the social aspects of sustainable development has been shown to often be neglected in the analysis, and no
Riskkapitalmarknaden kan härledas så långt tillbaka som till 1940-talet då de första private equity-investeringarna genomfördes i USA, och sedan dess har branschens utsträckning ständigt förändrats i takt med det rådande ekonomiska klimatet, både hög- och lågkonjunkturer, och är idag ett starkt etablerat fenomen även i Sverige. Private equity är den investeringsform som inom samlingsbegreppet risThe risk capital market can be traced as far back as the 1940s when the first private equity investment was made in the United States, and since then, the industry has constantly changed along with the current economic climate, and is today a strongly established phenomenon even in Sweden. The term private equity covers all investments that are made in unlisted companies and they typically involv
This thesis seeks to reveal the relationship of language and content in a Moroccan short story. These relationships are defined as such by pointing out single linguistic elements in the story’s language which reproduce a certain component of the story’s content. The main question hereby asks for the effect of the author’s language on the message itself – for, as the carrier of information, languag
Elektrifieringen av fordonsflottan kräver installation av laddinfrastruktur längs vägarna för resor då hem-eller depåladdning inte täcker behoven. Elvägar kan vara en lösning genom att förse bilar med ström under färd, också kallat dynamisk laddning. Dessutom kan elvägar hjälpa till att minska behovet av stora batterier i elbilar. Det är dock viktigt att ta hänsyn till att laddning av eldrivna foElectric road systems (ERS) provide electric power to vehicles en route (dynamic charging) and can reduce the need for onboard battery capacity. This thesis sets out to examine the power demand of an ERS and the integration of energy storage in its power supply for grid load alleviation and backup power. Specifically, the analysis is based on the ongoing project to build a permanent ERS on a 21 km

The overall aim with this essay was to study how counsellors at upper secondary school work with mental illness among youths and compare this with what research and theories advocate. This because there has been a rise in the number of people, especially in the age-group 16-24 years, suffering from different degrees of mental illnesses. The school can in some aspect contribute to cause mental illn
This paper has bearing on the subject of foreign policy analysis and decision-making, but is nonetheless important to peace and conflict studies due to its emphasis on nuclear weapons and deterrence. I have constructed a theoretical framework for the analysis of foreign policy decision-making that I set out to test on a crucial case. The framework is crosscutting, and takes into consideration
In this thesis, I compare the economic development between one democracy, India, and one autocracy, China. The idea is to see whether democracy has anything to do with economic development in terms of growth and welfare. To my disappointment, I have found that democracy does not have a big impact on economic development. Instead, it seems that the economical development depends on the economical p
The purpose of this study was to find out why the law that regulates downloading copyrighted material does not work and which of the most important main reasons lies behind downloading behaviour. The phenomenon being well investigated earlier has actualized a new demand for normative investigation in connection with the hot debated IPRED-law. Using qualitative method comprising of interviews with
När de svenska riksdagskamrarna 1963 beslutade att kvarvarande fideikommiss skulle avvecklas infördes ett undantag från avveckling i 6 § lag (1963:583) om avveckling av fideikommiss, i de fall egendomen är av synnerligen kulturhistoriskt värde. I sådant fall kan regeringen besluta om förlängning av fideikommisset i det enskilda fallet. Tanken med undantaget var vid införandet att sådant var en sisWhen the Swedish Parliament in 1963 decided to abolish the still existing entails an exception was made in 6 § lag (1963:583) om avveckling av fideikommiss (”the abolition act”) regarding cases when there is a great cultural property value. The Swedish government can under some circumstances decide to in the specific case extend the entail. The intention behind this exception was for it to be used
Regional innovation policies are often applied in a standardized way oriented at best practice models developed elsewhere. These policies fail to take specific sectoral and regional characteristics sufficiently into account. However, innovation processes and problems vary for firms in particular sectors since these exhibit distinct features dependent on their knowledge base. Also, companies are lo
