The literary genre of dystopian fiction grew out of the larger science fiction genre during the first half of the 20th century. Distinctive of dystopian fiction is a tendency towards allegory. Books in the genre use allegory to make statements on a wide range of subjects. Dystopian novels often tackle political and religious issues, as well as societal issues more generally. Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenh

The indoor climate conditions in buildings have changed in the last decade due to more efficient climatic systems, floor heating systems and larger open floor areas with more natural light. These factors all give increased annual variations in the humidity and the temperature in parquet floors. Such variations can result in troublesome deformations, glue line delamination and development of cracks
Since 1766 the principle public access to official documents have been the main rule and secrecy the exception within the Swedish State. During the early 20th century this principle however became challenged by the emerging welfare state and its need to collect integrity sensitive data to achieve its goal of creating equal opportunities for all its citizens. As a result of this development several

The goal for this essay was to achieve knowledge about the discoveries and experiences with the Marte Meo- method through the interviews with professional social workers and a client. The four questions in the essay were: · What expectations did the social workers have of the lessons in the method? · What experiences did they have of the lessons in the method? · What expectations did the social wo
A USLE/GIS approach was applied to estimate soil loss for the two catchments ‘Mrichet’ and ‘Sadine2’ in the semi-arid Tunisian Dorsal. The approach is inspired by the doctoral thesis ‘Water erosion modeling using fractal rainfall disaggregation – A study in semiarid Tunisia’ by Dr. Sihem Jebari. The Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE) was applied to predict soil loss magnitude and Geographic Infor
The laws of “secret room interception” and “actions to prevent certain serious crimes” took effect in January 2008. A year later the law of “actions to investigate certain crimes that are dangerous to society” was enforced. All three laws gave the law enforcement authorities new conditions for the use of secret coercive measures. The law enforcement authorities are entitled to use secret room inte

The project examines how a dog carrier for the rear seat of the car can be designed to provide safety and improve user experience, for dog and human. To include both of the users throughout the process, an animal-human centred design approach was applied. The report presents the concept development process of the dog carrier and evaluates how selected methods fulfil the design approach. Initially
Den 1 januari 2020 inkorporerades barnkonventionen till svensk lag. Inkorporeringens bakomliggande syfte ska ha varit att beslutsfattare nu ska ta barnets bästa i större beaktning än vad som tidigare har gjorts. Ett område där barnets bästa har en stor betydelse är beslutsfattande inom LVU. Uppsatsens syfte är att utreda hur beslutsfattandet inom LVU förhåller sig till barnets bästa. I LVU liggerOn the 1st of January 2020, the UN convention on the Rights of the Child was incorporated into Swedish law. The purpose of the incorporation was to make the decision maker officers take the best interest of the child in a bigger consideration than they have done before. One area where the best interest of the child has a big meaning is within the law (1990:52) with special regulation regarding the
Att straffa eller att inte straffa unga lagöverträdare och i vilken utsträckning; det är den pågående debatten i Sverige idag. Mer specifikt, huruvida man ska lagföra 18-21 åringar som vuxna snarare än ungdomar. Det torde sig naturligt att individer som anses vara vuxna, lagligen om inte annat, också skall betraktas vuxna nog att kunna stå inför anklagelser i sin fulla omfattning för deras begångnTo punish or not to punish young offenders and to what extent; that is the ongoing debate in Sweden as of today. More specifically, whether or not to prosecute 18-21 year olds as adults rather than youngsters. It would deem natural that individuals considered adults, legally at least, should also be considered adult enough to face charges in its full extent for their committed crimes. However, thi
The political participation of women is an important indicator of the degree of gender equality in certain country. In India, which is often referred to as the world’s largest democracy, the national parliament consists of only 11 % women. In a vast majority of India’s 28 states the female representation in their respective legislative assemblies is even less. However, when five states were holdin
Bakgrund: Äldre är en stor och växande grupp i befolkningen. Brister inom slutenvård är ett problem då det saknas rätt kompetens och bemanning på landets sjukhus. Det krävs professionell vård och ett etiskt förhållningssätt i vårdmötet med den äldre patienten. Den kunskap som sjuksköterskan har och den vetenskap som inhämtas är en förutsättning för att kunna tillgodose patienten den mest adekvata Background: The elderly are a large and growing group. Deficiencies in patient care is a problem as there is a lack of the right skillset as well as staffing level in hospitals around the country. Professional care and an ethical approach are required in the care-meeting with elderly patients. The scientific knowledge that the nurse has acquired is a prerequisite for being able to provide the pati
The effects of self-assembly on the hydrolysis kinetics of surfactants that contain ester bonds are discussed. A number of examples on how reaction rates and apparent reaction orders can be modulated by changes in the conditions, including an instance of apparent zero-order kinetics, are presented. Furthermore, it is shown that the examples on reaction kinetics display parallels and connections to
Software inspection is a method to detect faults in the early phases of the software life cycle. In order to estimate the number of faults not found, capture-recapture was introduced for software inspections in 1992 to estimate remaining faults after an inspection. Since then, several papers have been written in the area, concerning the basic theory, evaluation of models and application of the met
