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
Over a 15-year period, mobile phones have evolved from providing one single feature - the mobile voice call - to multi-featured multi-media communication and entertainment devices. Customer value has been added through successive integration of features previously conveyed by dedicated devices, as clock, timer, camera, media player, radio, etc. This continued integration strategy now poses several
Reppe, a starch factory within the concern of Lantmännen is mainly producing starch from wheat but also gets gluten as a product in the process. Currently, the wheat gluten is primarily used to improve the properties of flour for bread-making and as an additive in the baking industry. But there is an interest to explore new uses of the product. To make this possible, the solubility of gluten has t
The aim of this study was twofolded; on one hand I have been studying how the social services and the women’s crisis center work to contribute to assaulted women’s need of support and protection, while on the other hand I have been analyzing how discursive categories from the group of women addicted to alcohol is being made by professionals. The reason for this purpose was that I would like to see
This master thesis work comprises 20 academic credits (20 weeks) and was carried out in a time period beginning autumn 2004 ending early 2005 at the department of Industrial Management and Logistics under the division of Production Management at Lund Institute of Technology (LTH) in cooperation with IdeonCenter AB. The problem being investigated was how to measure the development of the new techno
Objectives Evidence suggests that certain occupations and related exposures may increase the risk of malignant lymphoma. Farming, printing and paper industry, wood processing, meat handling and processing, welding, shoe and leather manufacturing and teaching profession are among the categories that have been implicated in previous studies. The relationship between occupation and malignant lymphoma
The studies in this thesis are based on questions raised in the clinical setting. Perioperative myocardial ischemia occurs more often than recognized. This may lead to myocardial infarction, increased morbidity, mortality, and health care costs. In the first study, myocardial metabolism was investigated before, during, and after 30 min of regional coronary artery occlusion, utilizing the microdi
Aim Understanding what constituted species ranges prior to large-scale human influence, and how past climate and land use change have affected range dynamics, provides conservation planners with important insights into how species may respond to future environmental change. Our aim here was to reconstruct the Holocene range of European bison (Bison bonasus) by combining a time-calibrated species d
The purpose of this study was to examine whether the success of theconcept of empowerment in the field of social science can be explained by referring to it as the new paradigm replacing the former paternalistic era. Therefore, I investigate if the character of its history, domicile and practice has the same distinguishing features as the scientific progress. The analysis is based on Thomas Kuhn&#
In order to achieve the goal of sustainable banking, banks such as commercial banks have to adopt proactive strategies for reducing internal operation risks from environmental issues thereby realizing long-term profitability by external financing of environmentally friendly products and services. As a general pathway to sustainable banking, environmental risk management (ERM) is regarded as a prev
Sen ankomst för arbetstagare är ett problem som sällan tvistas om i domstol, och avgörs inte särskilt ofta till arbetsgivarens favör när denne vill säga upp arbetstagare på denna grund. Uppsatsens syfte är att utreda vad som gäller angående arbetsgivarens uppsägningsrätt i fall av denna typ utifrån diverse rättskällor, och hur frågan hanteras i praktiken av företag och fackliga ombudsmän då det kaLate arrival for work by an employee is an issue that is rarely tested in trial, nor does the employer win cases of this type very often. The purpose of this essay is to investigate the employer’s right to dismiss an employee on this ground. Different sources of law will be used to assess this, coupled with an insight into how the matter is handled in companies and trade union solicitors since thi
Heterogena katalysatorer för användning i bränslecellssystem har undersökts baserat på aktiv fas och tillverkningsmetoder för granulat- och monolitkatalysatorer. Katalysatorerna tillverkades genom att använda θ – aluminiumoxid som bärare, dopad med lantan och cerium, där den aktiva fasen bestod av ädelmetall X och nickel i varierande halter. Analys gjordes genom att låta en blandning av vattenångaHeterogeneous catalysts to be used in a pre-reformer for fuel cell systems have been investigated based on active phase composition and catalyst preparation methods for granulate and monolithic catalysts. The catalysts were manufactured using θ – aluminum oxide as carrier, promoted with lanthanum and cerium, with active phases consisting of noble metal X and nickel in various concentrations. Analy
The response of concrete structures subjected to blast load can be studied numerically using commercial finite element programs. The complexity of reinforced concrete makes modeling and simulation of large structures time and computer power consuming. Consequently, The Swedish Defense Research Agency, FOI, has an interest in finding a fast and numerically efficient model to study this response to

Due to the increase in numbers of sick people weighing financia
Social Work Education today places great importance to convey values such as respect in the relation between social worker and client, and to embrace a user perspective in the professional practice. Yet, many clients find themselves mistreated and ignored and experience social service work as arbitrary and inaccessible. The purpose of this study is to examine what takes place in the encounter betw
Background: Middle Eastern (ME) immigrants to Europe have a higher prevalence of type 2 diabetes (T2D) as compared to Europeans. Previous findings from the MEDIM population-based cohort (Impact of ethnicity and migration on diabetes in Malmö) have shown that ME immigrants are more insulin resistant before developing T2D as compared to native Swedes. However, knowledge is still lacking if there are
Advancements in AI and Robotics have made it possible, at least to some extent, for technology to interact with humans in humanlike ways, such as being able to use natural language. Some of these technologies have rapidly overtaken the consumer market in the form of services such as ChatGPT, which in 2022 became the fastest growing user-base in history by acquiring 100 million users within two mon
OBJECTIVES: Analyses performed by the Sarcopenia Definitions and Outcomes Consortium (SDOC) identified cut-points in several metrics of grip strength for consideration in a definition of sarcopenia. We describe the associations between the SDOC-identified metrics of low grip strength (absolute or standardized to body size/composition); low dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) lean mass as previo
The central role that ectomycorrhizal (EM) symbioses play in the structure and function of boreal forests pivots around the common assumption that carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) are exchanged at rates favorable for plant growth. However, this may not always be the case. It has been hypothesized that the benefits mycorrhizal fungi convey to their host plants strongly depends upon the availability of C
Woody plants play a major role for the resilience of drylands and in peoples' livelihoods. However, due to their scattered distribution, quantifying and monitoring woody cover over space and time is challenging. We develop a phenology driven model and train/validate MODIS (MCD43A4, 500 m) derived metrics with 178 ground observations from Niger, Senegal and Mali to estimate woody cover trends from
