Våld i nära relation, och i synnerhet mäns våld mot kvinnor, är ett angeläget samhälls- och folkhälsoproblem. Det förebyggande arbetet mot denna brottstyp har tidigare riktats mot den våldsutsatta, snarare än våldsutövaren, vilket kan leda till offerbeskyllande tendenser. Samverkansmetoden “Intimate Partner Violence Intervention” (IPVI) har därför vuxit fram, där våldsutövarna ställs i myndigheter

This study examines the impact of monetary non-integration on trade flows, specifically focusing on Denmark and how Danish trade with the founding members of the Eurozone would have developed if Denmark would have adopted the Euro in 1999. We turn to the Synthetic Control Method (SCM) to create a synthetic Denmark that adopted the Euro in 1999 and find significant negative effects for Danish trade

Nova Lund köpcentrum har årligen närmare 3 miljoner besökare. Här finns stora publika ytor där allmänheten kan röra sig kombinerat med ytor som vanligtvis enbart nyttjas av verksamheterna i fastigheten. Med stora öppna ytor och volymer finns det en utmaning i att göra det tydligt för allmänheten var möjlighet till utrymning finns i händelse av brand. Hänsyn måste tas till bland annat besökarnas peNova Lund Shopping mall is frequently visited by a large number of people, up to 3 million every year. With large areas where the visitors can move freely, combined with spaces commonly used by staff members, there will be challenges regarding making the egress routes both visible and understood – in case of fire. The mobility, perception, and knowledge of the guests, as well as the employees, mus

Optimera inhalationsbehandlingen: Så påverkar bärarpartikelstorleken och blandningsprocessen läkemedelsprestandan Inhalering har använts som en metod för administrering av läkemedel i över 2000 år och har många fördelar mot lungsjukdomar som exempelvis cystisk fibros och astma. Lungorna är avgörande för vår andningsfunktion och ansvarar för gasutbytet mellan luft och blod. Genom att leverera läkInhalation as a method for drug delivery has been employed for more than 2000 years and serves many advantages for diseases in the respiratory tract, like cystic fibrosis and asthma. When administrating the drug directly to the respiratory tract it results in rapid effects and elimination of systemic side effects due to more targeted delivery. Dry powder inhalers (DPI) typically consist of the act

Varje svenskt hushåll slänger 500 kg avfall per år vilket genererar ett utsläpp på 0,9 miljoner ton koldioxidekvivalenter, därav är det av största vikt att återvinningscentraler är tillgängliga och attraktiva för befolkningen att besöka. En kvantitativ studie har därför genomförts i syfte att, dels undersöka hur besökare upplever de befintliga svenska återvinningscentralerna, dels för att se vilka

Enhancing the physicochemical and sensory properties of flavoured vodkas using hydrocolloids is of significant interest to the beverage industry. Hydrocolloids like xanthan gum and carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) can influence texture and stability, yet their specific impacts in alcoholic systems are underexplored. This study aims to evaluate the effect of hydrocolloids on the viscosity, turbidity,

Synthetic data is becoming more accessible and presents several benefits over traditional human-derived data for developing healthcare technology, especially in medical imaging systems. The primary reasons for using synthetic data are to minimise the potential privacy risks associated with real human data and to substantially increase the overall volume of available data. Previous research has lar

Bakgrund: I takt med utvecklingen av avancerade och tidskrävande undersökningar och behandlingar utsätts röntgensjuksköterskan för ökad exponering av joniserande röntgenstrålning. Trots tydliga föreskrifter finns brister i användning av strålskydd. Syfte: Att beskriva röntgensjuksköterskans användning av strålskyddsutrustning vid angiografier och interventioner. Metod: En kvantitativ enkätstudie

Ozon kan användas för att reducera koncentrationen av organiska mikroföroreningar i avloppsvatten och därmed förhindra att dessa sprids i hav, sjöar och vattendrag, där deras närvaro kan medföra en rad negativa konsekvenser. Vid tillsats av ozon till avloppsvatten oxideras de organiska mikroföroreningarna, tillsammans med andra ämnen i vattenmatrisen, och bildar olika transformations- och biprodukOzonation can be applied to reduce the concentration of organic micropollutants in municipal wastewater, and thereby mitigate any adverse effects these compounds may have in natural waters. As ozone is applied to wastewater, organic micropollutants, as well as other compounds present in the water matrix, will be oxidized, resulting in the formation of transformation- and byproducts. Some of these
