This thesis was written to bring attention to a group that is still largely invisible in our society - nonbinary people - and examine how nonbinary identities are characterized in children’s literature. It does so by comparing the books Månen, Varelsen och Jag and Euphoria Kids, and discusses them from the perspectives of the intended reader, trans theory, as well as “skev och monster” theory. Thi

The purpose of the report is to study the yellow cycle route in the city of Lund and investigate the inadequacies that could be found on today's route. The yellow cycle route goes from Dalby in the south to Gunnesbo in the north. The method used to answer the questions of this report is literature study and a technical inventory. The analysis of the studied route is based on Lund’s cycle strat

En näringsidkares garantiutfästelse utgör en kraftig förstärkning av det konsumentköprättsliga skyddet. I Konsumentköplagens 21 § stadgas det att en näringsidkare skall svara för såväl ursprungliga som uppkomna fel hos varan under hela den angivna tiden. Lägg därtill till att Konsumentköplagen redan, i form av dess 20a §, innehåller en form av lagstadgad garanti där fel som visar sig inom sex månaA warranty in B2C-relations regarding constitutes a major increase of the consumers rights. It Is stated in the KKL 21 § that a businessman should be held liable for original- as well as later occurring faults in the product for the entirety of the prearranged course of time. In addition to this, the KKL in its 20a § does already contain a form of warranty regulated in law where defects who appear

Användandet av fossila bränslen är utbrett och någonting som genomsyrar hela det moderna samhället. Fossila råvaror, som olja, naturgas och kol har många användningsområden och används bland annat vid produktion av plast, som drivmedel för transport och för att producera elektricitet. Att nyttja fossila råvaror är däremot inte oproblematiskt då dessa bidrar till ökande halter av växthusgaser i atmThe waste management and production of plastic play a concerning part in global warming and continues to have a negative effect on the environment. A promising strategy to address this challenge is to develop new sustainable materials, to replace current fossil-based plastics. Cellulose is of interest to be used for bio-based materials since it has many desired properties. However, it lacks the fo

The European Green Deal and the subsequent action plans, including the “Action Plan on Circular Economy” and “A new Industrial Strategy for a globally competitive, green and digital Europe”, recently adopted by the European Commission, indicate that sustainability and environmental concerns, among others, are becoming more and more important in the eyes of the legislator. Sustainable development i

Primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) is a major blindness-causing disease, characterized by elevated intraocular pressure due to an insufficient outflow of aqueous humor. The trabecular meshwork (TM) lining the aqueous outflow pathway modulates the aqueous outflow facility. TM cell adhesion, cell-matrix interactions, and factors that influence Rho signaling in TM cells are thought to play a pivotal

Regler om anställningsskydd finns i LAS. Centralt är att arbetsgivaren måste ha saklig grund för att säga upp arbetstagare. De skäl som utgör saklig grund delas upp i kategorierna uppsägning av personliga skäl och uppsägning p.g.a. arbetsbrist. I den förstnämnda kategorin hamnar uppsägningsskäl hänförliga till arbetstagaren personligen. I kategorin arbetsbrist hamnar övriga uppsägningsskäl, d.v.s.The labour law regulation is mainly found in Employment Protection Act (SFS 1982:80). It says that an employer needs to have just cause for a dismissal. Just causes for dismissal are divided into two categories: circumstances relating to the employee, also called personal reasons, and circumstances relating to the enterprise, so called redundancy. Reduced working capacity because of disability is

This thesis describes the development of a discrete event building evacuation simulator using the Java programming language and the various results that were produced from the simulations that were done. The simulator allows people to evacuate a building which has been defined via a graphical interface. People are then split into two groups, those who use elevators and those who do not. The progra

Frågan om vilken verkan ändrade förhållanden har i en avtalsrelation har alltid varit ett av kontrakträttens mest uppmärksammade problem. Vid långvariga avtal blir utvecklingen inte sällan annan än vad parterna kunnat förutse vid avtalets ingående. Ett långvarigt avtal kan sålunda under en stor del av giltighetstid ha varit förmånligt för bägge parter, men sedan på grund av ändrade förhållande bliThe significance of changed conditions for contractual obligations and liabilities has always been one of the most debated contract law issues. In long-term agreements it is often extremely difficult to forecast all possible effects of a contract due to the fact that conditions under which the contracting parties have entered into such contract may drastically change. The substance of a long-term

In QY v Bundesrepublik Deutschland (Effect of a decision granting refugee status) the Court of Justice held that Member State are not required under EU to automatically recognize the positive decision issued by another Member State. Such a positive decision does have some significance, but very far from being anything close to automatically binding as to the positive conclusion that the applicant

During the last few years the countries in the African continent have experienced an enormous increase in female politicians on a national level. Rwanda is even the country with the highest number of female politicians in its parliament in the world. Despite this development in Africa, the quantitative research on women's political representation in the world has not yet paid attention to the

The purpose of this study was to increase the understanding of the phenomenon that there are so many young people placed in institutions in Sweden despite the valuable knowledge regarding the problems and risks of doing so. The questions that follow in the essay were what guided the social workers to choose institutional placement for youngsters. It went on to also ask if this knowledge could cont

The reasons for the high risk of contralateral breast cancer are not understood, although polygenic mechanisms have been suggested to be involved. The nationwide Swedish Family-Cancer Database was used to examine the interaction of the risks for contralateral and familial cancer. Relative risks were separately determined for contralateral and familial breast cancers, and these were tested for addi

Background: Hip pain is prevalent in children with cerebral palsy (CP). Hip displacement is a known risk factor for hip pain. However, many children do not have displaced hips but still have hip pain and the aetiologies are poorly understood. The aims of this study were to investigate: 1. the prevalence of hip pain related to age, gender, gross motor function, degree of hip displacement and 2. the

Left ventricular (LV) stroke work (SW) is calculated from the pressure-volume (PV) loop. PV loops do not contain information on longitudinal and radial pumping, leaving their contributions to SW unknown. A conceptual framework is proposed to derive the longitudinal and radial contributions to SW, using ventricular force-length loops reflecting longitudinal and radial pumping. The aim of this study

Police crash reports are often the main source for official data in many countries. However, with the exception of fatal crashes, crashes are often underreported in a biased manner. Consequently, the countermeasures adopted according to them may be inefficient. In the case of bicycle crashes, this bias is most acute and it probably varies across countries, with some of them being more prone to rep

The aim of this theoretical paper is to critically reflect on the ethical and methodological issues that arose during a study that observed nurses’ care-giving in an intensive care unit setting. The authors critically discuss the methodological and ethical issues as well as the practical realities that were encountered when evaluating a complex intervention using unstructured qualitative observati

Although it is vital for organizations to learn in order to be competitive, efficient, and innovative, it is one of the profound organizational dilemmas: organizations understand and have learnt that it is important to learn and yet it is difficult to ensure organizational learning. This is a personal and reflexive note about what I have learnt from research and practice about various attempts to
