Enligt 2 kap 2 § socialtjänstlagen (2001:453) har kommunen det yttersta ansvaret för att de som vistas i kommunen får det stöd och den hjälp som de behöver. Det innebär bland annat att vård och omsorg är en offentlig angelägenhet och ett offentligt ansvar. Trots det är den vård som utförs av anhöriga och andra närstående personer en betydande och, till följd av nedskärningar i den kommunala omsorgArticle 2 § 2 in the Social Services Act (2001:453) declares that the municipality has the ultimate responsibility to see to that the individuals in the municipality receive the support and help they need. This means that health care is a public concern and a public responsibility. Despite this regulation, the care provided by relatives is, as a result of cuts in municipal care, a significant and

This study presents a fresh, humanistic perspective into the worldview of a rarely studied group: The Sweden Democrats. Having entered the Swedish Parliament in 2010, the Sweden Democrats are a controversial nationalist-populist party, and they are currently the only major party in Sweden rejecting the country’s famed multiculturalism model. The Sweden Democrats, and other Swedes who are openly cr

För att uppfylla samhällets krav på ett bra inomhusklimat i lokaler och byggnader krävs det korrekt dimensionerade ventilationssystem. Ett korrekt dimensionerat ventilationssystem är ett system som levererar rätt flöde vid låga hastigheter och låga tryckfall. Detta innebär utöver energi- effektiv distribution också reducerat buller från både luftbehandlingsaggregat och ventilations- kanalsystem.

Det finns idag cirka 160 miljoner byggnader inom EU och energianvändningen hos dessa står för cirka 40 % av unionens totala energiförbrukning. Detta gör byggnadsbeståndet inom EU till den enskilt största källan till koldioxidutsläpp. Dagens krav om energieffektivitet på moderna byggnader såsom bostadshus, kontorshus och andra lokaler är ett steg i ledet om att minska energianvändningen inom sa

I takt med att det offentliga i allt större utsträckning väljer att köpa in varor och tjänster från marknaden ökar också risken för anbudskarteller. I arbete med att förhindra och beivra uppkomsten av dessa otillåtna samarbeten kompletteras upphandlingslagstiftningen av konkurrensrätten. Den förstnämnda kan i detta hänseende sägas reglera den miljö vari vilken anbudskarteller uppkommer medan den sAs the public sector increases the sourcing of goods and services from the market place rather than providing them in-house, the risk for collusive behaviour in the form of bidding cartels increases. To prevent such illegal collaboration, public procurement law are supplemented with competition law. The role of the public procurement law is to regulate the environment where cartels may emerge, whi

The majority of the deaths when a fire takes place are due to the smoke. The fire gases can easily spread through the ventilation system if it is not properly designed and some safety measures are taken. The current legislation suggest as solution to install independent ventilation systems or smoke barriers. However, the new Swedish legislation will offer new possibilities base on smoke dilution

Most Swedish housing is ventilated by a mechanical exhaust ventilation or natural ventilation. In both of the ventilation system the fresh air is usually added through vents in the outer wall straight into the bedroom and living room. The solution may involve a risk of draft experience and poor thermal comfort in the vicinity of the inlets. One measure that the residents can then take is to

We propose an approximate scheme based on a saddle point approximation of propagators in higher order perturbation calculation. This scheme is applied to a general expression for one-loop scalar functions, and thereafter used to calculate the anomalous magnetic moment of the electron. The scheme is shown to be increasingly precise as the number of propagators increase, spanning a precision of 0.72

Godly Play is a method for Christian Education inspired by Maria Montessori’s work. It aims to give children a language for their religious experiences. In the same way as Montessori used children’s play and eagerness to learn as means to an end – education, Godly Play uses play to explain the relationship with God. However, Godly Play stresses the importance of playing for the sake of playing, no

This thesis examines how the Free Trade Agreement (FTA) that India is currently negotiating with the European Union (IndEUFTA) may impede the production of Indian generic version of HIV/AIDS medicines and thereby hinder access to HIV/AIDS medicines. The reason for discussing specifically HIV medicines in the context of Indian generic manufacture is important in two ways. First, considering the dis

The concern raised in this paper is whether the cone of diversification for EU to its low income trading partners has become more similar over time, as this would imply a risk for a Stolper- Samuelson effect. In order to assess this risk, the methodology in this paper is designed to capture any rising similarities of EU to its trading partners since a Stolper- Samuleson effect infers that the good

A Spark Discharge Generator is a versatile device which can be used to generate nanoparticles from any two conducting sources. The device constructed during this thesis project was to make metallic mono-disperse aerosol nanoparticles towards applications in catalysis and nanowire growth. The operating principle is two electrodes separated by a gap with an applied voltage above the discharge voltag

Pore water pressure is defined relative to atmospheric pressure and it is cero kPa at the water table. Under the water table the pore water pressure rises linearly at a hydrostatic pressure distribution and above the water table it sinks. How the pore water pressure profile above the groundwater table develops in practice depends on the soil water content. The relationship between water content an
