Uppsatsens övergripande syfte är att identifiera, systematisera och problematisera de objektiva förutsättningarna för underlåtenhetsansvar i svensk skadeståndsrätt. Avsikten är därtill att konstruera en teoriram kring dessa förutsättningar, med en ytterligare ambition att analysera de språkliga företeelser som bygger upp rätten på underlåtenhetsområdet. Uppsatsen utgår därför från frågeställningarThe general purpose of this research paper is to identify, systematise and problematise the objective criteria for liability in relation to omissions in Swedish tort law. In addition, the paper aims at constructing a theoretical framework around these criteria, with a further intention to analyse the legal-linguistic aspects of the issue. Hence, the paper is based on question formulations regardin

The aim of this qualitative study was to investigate and shed light on how care workers perceive their care work and the dilemmas they encounter in the work of adults diagnosed with severe intellectual disabilities. I conducted six semi-structured interviews with care workers working with the study target audience. For my analysis, I have applied the theoretical perspectives ethics of response, pr

In a small and confined one dimensional geometry of nanowire, even few defects can influence the performance of the devices. Main objective of this thesis is to conduct photoluminescence study of such defect states in GaAs nanowires, which we will first introduce by diffusing copper impurity atoms, in very low concentrations. In low concentrations, ideally single atom in a wire, the photoluminesc

Lysdioder används nuförtiden i många sammanhang, som indikatorljus, i trafikljus, till allmän belysning och i kommunikationstillämpningar. Lysdioder har flera fördelar som att man kan välja färg, att dom är stöttåliga men framförallt att dom är energisnåla, dom omvandlar effektivt elektrisk energi till ljusenergi. En flaskhals när det gäller att utnyttja allt ljus som genereras i en lysdiod är attThis work concerns the light extraction from InGaAlP LEDs. Two possible improvements are studied. Resonant cavity LEDs with a long cavity (optical path >> lambda) are simulated and improvements in light output are found, but with possibly unwanted effects, such as the spectrum splitting into different peaks at different wavelengths, on the emission pattern. Also, measurements are done on four diff

I denna uppsats undersöks hur två noveller “Spökhanden” av Selma Lagerlöf och “The Yellow Wallpaper” av Charlotte Perkins Gilman förhåller sig till genren Female Gothic och till varandra. En signifikant skillnad mellan de två novellerna är fokaliseringen vilket öppnar upp för en intressant komparativ analys. Därav är fokuset i den komparativa analysen fokalisering. Syftet med uppsatsen är att unde

Ett av Sveriges klimat- och energipolitiska mål avser effektivare energianvändning. Ett sätt att uppnå målet är genom kravställning på energihushållning vid renovering av byggnader. I de fall då det med hänsyn till byggnadens kultur- och arkitektoniska värde inte går att tillämpa beprövade metoder får andra alternativa metoder sökas. En sådan annan alternativ metod är en dubbelskalfasad och innebäOne of Sweden's political objective is to increase energy efficiency. One way to achieve the objective is by making demands on the use of energy after a building has been renovated. Regarding the building's cultural and architectural values there are cases where it is not possible to apply proven methods to meet the demands, and other alternative methods must be sought. Such an alternative

In this report the fire safety on board vessels in the so called Victoria-class has been evaluated. A series of tests were conducted in a container at Revinge with the purpose to analyze the self-activation temperature and extinguishing effects of pyrotechnically generated aerosol (PGA) devices. The ventilations influence on the fire behavior and how the hull material is affected by fire were also

Att hantera det växande antalet vårdsökande patienter är en stor utmaning för svensk sjukvård idag. För att säkerställa att vårdsökande får en korrekt och likartad bedömning, oavsett var kontakt med sjukvården sker, har Region Skåne tagit fram Triagehandboken. Det är ett verktyg som hjälper sjuksköterskor att, utifrån den vårdsökandes beskrivna symtom, hänvisa patienten till rätt vårdnivå. En digi

Despite the growing volume of available transportation data and the efforts of many cities to increase cycling levels, there remains a lack of data on where people cycle. The use of GPS trajectories have now been used in cycle studies for several years, and more recently large, crowdsourced datasets of GPS recorded cycle trips have become available and of interest to transportation and planning de

Vårt svenska samhälle har förändrats i rasande fart och förändringstakten går snabbt och människors tillvaro har blivit allt stressigare och tuffare. S.Blomberg (2016) skriver att anmälningar om mobbning på arbetsplatserna ökar och han kopplar det till den allt tuffare arbetsmarknaden (S.Blomberg 2016-04-10). Leymann har hävdat att trakasserier på arbetet kan vara en viktig orsak till självmord oc

This paper uses an explorative case study approach to study the potential of export-led growth in the Ethiopian economy by focusing on the agribusiness sector of the economy. The paper draws on a GVC framework to analyse Ethiopian agribusiness exports and the use of the preferential trade agreement, Everything but Arms, as a potential enabler for further export growth. The aim of the paper is to s

The purpose of this thesis is to describe and analyze the development of the agriculture in the county of Skåne (Scania) and to see if there are explanations to be found why the agricultural land is exploited today. By theories from human ecology I discuss the interconnections between human, nature and society both in a historical and a present perspective. Focus is on how the landscape, humans an

In September 2015, China ended the one child policy and opened the two-child policy. However, the focus on fertility and family in public and government discourse is still links to issues of national survival and economic development. This means that women’s social roles are still defined according to the needs and interests of the state, and scripted, first and foremost, as familial. Women are ma

This thesis investigates the relationship between the human being and nature and how it emerges through the relationship between birdwatcher and bird. The aim is to study a potential contradiction in bird watching, between perceptual proximity and detached objectification that potentially inheres in the activity. Six birdwatchers are interviewed about their experiences of watching birds, in terms

Studiens syfte var att nå en fördjupad förståelse för de föreställningar som kan finnas om mobbning i skolan. Semistrukturerade intervjuer genomfördes med två deltagargrupper på fyra personer vardera, en grupp bestående av individer som blivit utsatta för mobbning under skolåren och en grupp bestående av individer som inte blivit utsatta för mobbning under skolåren. Deltagarna i den utsatta gruppeThe purpose of the study was to achieve a deepened understanding for the ideas and conceptions of bullying in a school environment. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with two groups of participants, one group made up of select individuals with experiences of school victimization and one group made up of select individuals lacking those same experiences. The participants in the former group

Lowering of groundwater level may cause saltwater intrusion in coastal aquifers. Since decrease in groundwater recharge rate and overpumping lower groundwater level, recharge rate and pumping rate are main factors of saltwater intrusion In the study area, the land-use has been changing since a university campus was newly constructed. Therefore, there is concern that this rapid land-use change will
