Abstract Authors: Emelie Karlsson Ånhed and Ellinor Wisjö Title: Collaboration – Maybe, maybe not? Supervisor: Christina Erneling The aim of this study was undertaken with the aim of examining if there is any working collaboration between schools, social services, child/youth psychiatry and the police in the chosen community. We have not implicated a survey with pre-chosen answers, as we feel giv

Breast cancer is the most common cancer type among women. The 5-year survival rate for invasive breast cancer is generally good at approximately 80-85%, however it is not uncommon for late recurrences to develop – the relative survival at 15 years is approximately 60%, in contrast to for example uterine cancer where the 5-year is about 80% and very few late deaths occur (80% survival at 15-years).

Problem definition Since 1995, the vehicle-gas market has been growing at a rapid pace. One segment that has not kept up with this development is the heavy gas-powered trucks. One explanation is that the existing gas-powered trucks cannot compete against the traditional diesel trucks. Some examples of attributes that makes the gas alternative less attractive are engine power, efficiency, driving d

Tracking migratory movement of small animals with variable migration patterns is difficult with standard mark-recapture methods or genetic analysis. We used stable hydrogen isotope (delta D) measurements of wings from European red admirals Vanessa atalanta to study several aspects of this species' migration. In the central part of southern Europe we found large differences in delta D values betwee

Popular Abstract in Swedish Det görs en rad försök till demokratisk förnyelse ute i kommunerna. I denna avhandling är det min ambition att analysera ett sådant försök; medborgarutskotten i Helsingborg. De frågeställningar avhandlingen behandlar är 1) vad ligger bakom samtalets betoning i medborgarutskottens deltagardemokratiska aktiviteter? 2) Hur positioneras kommuninvånare som medborgare då medThis is a study of civic communication in a municipal setting. In the south Swedish municipality of Helsingborg operated Civic Committees between 2003 and 2006. The Civic Committees organized different kinds of activities together with the citizens out in the different neighbourhoods of the municipality, such as open meetings, neighbourhood walks, workshops for the future and meetings with specifi

Aims. The aim of this paper is to explore and map the age and abundance structure of the stars in the nearby Galactic disk. Methods. We have conducted a high-resolution spectroscopic study of 714 F and G dwarf and subgiant stars in the Solar neighbourhood. The star sample has been kinematically selected to trace the Galactic thin and thick disks to their extremes, the metal-rich stellar halo, sub-

Mexico has the most transited migratory corridor in the world . The complex migratory flows transiting the country—mainly Mexican, Central and South Amer- ican—have historically been perceived as economic and male . Scholars have not- ed as problematic the categorisation of the ‘labour migrant’ as being exclusive- ly voluntary. It has been demonstrated that framing agency through simplified unders

BACKGROUND: Acute myocardial infarct (AMI) size depicted by late gadolinium enhancement cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) is increasingly used as an efficacy endpoint in randomized trials comparing AMI therapies. Infarct size is quantified using manual planimetry (MANUAL), visual scoring (VISUAL), or automated techniques using signal-intensity thresholding (AUTO). Although AUTO is considered

As a part of the greening of the EU's Common Agricultural Policy in 2013, Ecological Focus Areas (EFA) became mandatory for many European farmers, with the aim to enhance on-farm biodiversity. However, their effects on biodiversity have been disputed. In this interdisciplinary effort, we assessed the effects of current and alternative formulations of EFA regulations in Sweden. By complementing eco

The circumpolar Arctic is currently facing multiple global changes that have the potential to alter the capacity of tundra soils to store carbon. Yet, predicting changes in soil carbon is hindered by the fact that multiple factors simultaneously control processes sustaining carbon storage and we do not understand how they act in concert. Here, we investigated the effects of warmer temperatures, en

Precipitation is a major component of the water cycle. Accurate and reliable estimation of precipitation is essential for various applications. Generally, there are three main types of precipitation products: satellite based, reanalysis, and ground measurements from rain gauge stations. Each type has its advantages and disadvantages. Recent efforts have been made to develop various merging methods

This paper sets out to estimate expected lifetime of revolving credit facilities (e.g. credit card products) and is motivated by the introduction of the International Financial Reporting Standard 9 (IFRS 9) and its requirements for loan impairments. The reporting entity is required to estimate lifetime expected credit losses for certain nancial instruments. In practice, maximum contractual period What period should credit losses be estimated over in IFRS 9? When the standard on how to account for credit losses moves to an expected loss approach, there is a need to find out how far into the future to look for losses. This is known as the expected lifetime, and I have dived into interpreting how the IFRS 9 standard can be implemented in a model for expected lifetime for credit cards and simi

The aim of my thesis is to provide research-based insight into AI technologies for information seeking’s place in future school library operations. To achieve this aim, I am looking at Swedish school librarians’ perceptions and views on AI technologies for information seeking, especially in connection with their work on media and information literacy. My research questions are as follows: (Q1) How

Macaque politics and influential infants How infants influence social behaviour in adult Barbary macaques To befriend or not to befriend? Under what circumstances do animals act friendly to each other, and when do they act aggressively? Amid the dynamic and turbulent social landscape of macaque societies, individuals need to constantly evaluate their ever-changing social landscape. Family ties, f

Lojalitetsplikten i kommersiella avtalsförhållanden kan definieras som skyl-digheten för parterna i relationen att tillvarata motpartens intressen utöver sina egna. Lojalitetsplikten kan härledas långt tillbaka i historien men det är först under 1900-talets andra hälft som saker började hända och denna utveckling tog rejäl fart under de senaste ca 20 åren. Lojal samverkan mellan parterna står iblaThe principle of loyalty in commercial relations can be defined as an obliga-tion for the parties to safeguard the other party’s interests in addition to their own. The principle of loyalty can be derived far back in history, but it was only during the second half of the 20th century that things started to happen, and this progress took off in the last 20 or so years. Loyal collaboration be-tween

The thesis examines the economic strategies which two private museums of Meteora, the Hellenic Culture Museum and the Natural History Museum of Meteora and Mushroom Museum implement, so as to grasp the economic strategies that private museums in Greece adopt. Utilizing Varbanova’s (2013) framework which places specific emphasis not only on the open-system theory as an efficient way to comprehend t

Bygg- och fastighetsbranschen utgör i dagsläget en betydande andel av Sveriges naturresursutvinning samt klimatpåverkan, där påverkan från traditionella stommar av betong och stål länge har dominerat. Klimatintensiva processer såsom cement- och stålproduktion är bidragande faktorer till att branschen är i behov av en hållbar och cirkulär omställning. Återbruk och cirkulärt byggande erbjuder hållbaToday, the construction and real estate industry accounts for a sizable portion of the market´s material consumption and climate impact, with traditional structural materials such as concrete and steel long dominated. Processes such as cement and steel production contribute to the industry´s need for a sustainable transition and circular transition. Reuse and circular construction offer sustainabl

Importance: Persistent disparities in mortality across countries suggest uneven improvements in living standards and access to life-extending health technologies, as well as context-specific obstacles. Studies have analyzed cross-country inequality in mortality but have not widely contextualized those disparities in terms of developmental progress relative to a frontier representing a level of mor

Context. The formation and evolution of ultra-short-period (USP) rocky planets is poorly understood. However, it is widely thought that these planets could not have formed at their present-day close-in orbits, but instead migrated inwards through interactions with outer neighbours. Aims. We aim to confirm and characterise the USP Earth-sized validated planet K2-157 b (Porb = 8.8 h) and constrain t
