Popular Abstract in Swedish Under de senaste decennierna har en omfattande omstrukturering ägt rum av den psykiatriska vården. Verksamheterna vid de gamla mentalsjukhusen har avvecklats genom en omfattande nerdragning av slutenvårdplatser. Psykiatrins långtidssjuka patienter skulle återföras till det sociala liv de under lång tid varit avskärmade ifrån. I samband med omorganiseringen till den s k
Popular Abstract in English We won’t give up Anatolia! Shouting this slogan, thousands of villagers marched towards Ankara, protesting against the projects that threaten to channel Anatolian rivers into hydro-power plants. The majority of demonstrators did not reach Ankara. The police stopped them at the city gates for disturbing the public order: hydroelectricity development is a national prioritPrivate Rivers is a study of contested processes whereby use rights to water are privatised for electricity production. It engages with the issues of renewable energy solutions and the sustainability of run-of-river hydro projects in Turkey by investigating the connection between these policies and justice for rural populations, whose livelihood depends on the rivers. Since 2001, water privatisati
Popular Abstract in Swedish Denna avhandling handlar om arbetarförfattaren Ivar Lo-Johanssons modernitet, sådan den kommer till uttryck i de sk. statarromanerna: Godnatt, jord (1933), Bara en mor (1939) och Traktorn (1943). Först undersöks hur modernisering och modernitet skildras i romanerna och därefter hur författaren förhåller sig till den litterära riktning som kommit att symbolisera den esteThis dissertation examines the modernity of the Swedish proletarian author Ivar Lo-Johansson (1901-1990), as manifested in the so-called 'statare' novels: Godnatt, jord (Breaking Free, 1933), Bara en mor (Only a Mother, 1939), and Traktorn (1943). The dissertation examines, on the one hand, modernisation and modernity as the topoi of these novels, and on the other, how the author relates to the li
Popular Abstract in Swedish Under de senaste par decennierna har en specifik tolkning av döva och dövhet blivit alltmer etablerad på det ”officiella” dövområdet i Sverige, tillika anammat av såväl professionella som föräldrar till döva barn. Döva ska enligt detta synsätt hellre betraktas som tillhörande en kulturell och språklig minoritet än som handikappade. Medicinska strävanden att “laga defekt
Popular Abstract in Swedish Det övergripande syftet för den här avhandlingen var att identifiera miljöfaktorer som påverkar barn med ADHD, autism och Downs syndrom och deras förmåga att koncentrera sig i sin lärmiljö i skolan. Målet med den forskning som gjorts här är inte att avskriva några av de extraresurser som barnen ifråga behöver, utan i stället att ge förslag på hur man kan utforma deras lThe overall aim of this thesis was to identify environmental factors that affect children with ADHD, autism, and Down's syndrome and their ability to concentrate in their learning environment at school. The issue of this research is not to dismiss any of the additional resources these children are in need of; instead it is to suggest how to arrange learning environments in the most supportive way
The deep sea is the largest habitat on earth. Its three great faunal environments - the twilight mesopelagic zone, the dark bathypelagic zone and the vast flat expanses of the benthic habitat- are home to a rich fauna of vertebrates and invertebrates. In the mesopelagic zone (150-1000 in), the down-welling daylight creates an extended scene that becomes increasingly dimmer and bluer with depth. Th
Sudden pipe bursts occur in high-pressure water transmission pipelines and water distribution networks. The consequences of these bursts can be very expensive due to the outage time while the burst pipe is repaired, the cost of repair, and damage to surrounding property and infrastructure. As a result, it is advantageous to minimise the detection and location time after the burst occurs. Currently
Singular perturbations of Schrödinger type operators are of interest in mathematics, e.g. to study spectral phenomena, and in applications of mathematics in various sciences, e.g. in physics, chemistry, biology, and in technology. They also often lead to models in quantum theory which are solvable in the sense that the spectral characteristics (eigenvalues, eigenfunctions, and scattering matrix) c
Popular Abstract in English Vernacular (local) architecture is in danger and about to disappear in several parts of the world. What we call native, traditional and handmade will disappear gradually and then the true meaning of vernacular vanishes. The present thesis shows that the disappearance of vernacular traditional skills creates an increasing threat to the existence of desert vernacular arch
A systematic assessment of radiotherapy for cancer was conducted by The Swedish Council on Technology Assessment in Health Care (SBU) in 2001. The assessment included a review of future developments in radiotherapy and an estimate of the potential benefits of improved radiotherapy in Sweden. The conclusions reached from this review can be summarized as: Successively better knowledge is available o
Background: Over the past couple of decades, measuring immunological parameters has become widespread in studies of ecology and evolution. A combination of different immunological indices is useful for quantifying different parts of the immune system and comprehensively assessing immune function. Running multiple immune assays usually requires samples to be repeatedly thawed and re-frozen. There i
DLE (Dry Low Emission) technology is widely used in land based gas turbines due to the increasing demands on low NOx levels. One of the key aspects in DLE combustion is achieving a good fuel and air mixing where the desired flame temperature is achieved without too high levels of combustion instabilities. To experimentally study fuel and air mixing it is convenient to use water along with a tracer
This thesis investigates how reliance on ONVIF certification, a global interoperability standard in the network video industry, influences how a large technology company organises its internal organisational structures, roles, responsibilities and resource allocation. Technical standards such as ONVIF, with adherence validated through certification processes, are widely used to promote interoperab
The enormous production and consumption of fossil-based plastics has caused severe environmental challenges such as pollution of the ocean, increased CO2-emissions, and various health problems. Many ofthese concerns are intimately connected to the use of fossil fuels in the production of polymers. For this reason, there is a considerable interest to develop bio-based monomers to mitigate some of t
Background Several pressing issues face municipal planners including increased land use and climate change. Managing these issues requires a balance between different actions to accommodate citizen’s demands of ecosystem services (ES) and development projects. The implementation of ES as a new tool for assessments needs to be contrasted by research considering existing tools such as Environmental
