Bakgrund: Cerebral pares [CP] är en hjärnskada som kan påverka funktionen i övre extremiteten. CP är den vanligaste diagnosen hos barn med motoriska funktionsnedsättningar. Arbetsterapeutiska interventioner behövs för att kompensera, alternativt förbättra, arm- och handfunktion, med avsikt att främja aktivitetsförmågan samt delaktighet i aktiviteter. Syfte: Att kartlägga och undersöka vilka ortosbBackground: Cerebral Palsy [CP] is a brain injury which may lead to impaired hand function and is the most common diagnosis in children with motor disabilities. Occupational therapy interventions are needed to compensate or improve function in the upper extremity to promote occupational performance and participation in activities. Aim: To review and investigate the orthotic interventions used for

The option between mandatory and voluntary approaches become an unfinished debate in order to reach corporate compliance in the global supply chain on environmental, labour, human rights and anti-corruption issues. In this situation, this thesis proposes an alternative strategy that combines both approaches. For this aim, with the doctrinal and empirical legal approaches, this research scrutinizes

Technology has revolutionized various industries, including the mobility sector. While many new mobility services have entered the market, the shift towards a more digitalised environment fostered the digital divide, making various mobility services more accessible for those that are tech-savvy. Especially elderly people however often face significant challenges adapting to new technologies. So fa

This thesis contributes to the exploration of business models with an aspect of change, by ap- plying the concept of dynamic capabilities. The aim is to explore how entrepreneurial firms utilise dynamic capabilities in order to create resilient business models in times of technological change and uncertainty. Therefore, a multiple case study was conducted on the lab-grown food and dairy industry.

The increasing importance of technology in everyday life demands to look at this matter in the context of education as well. Whereas Educational Technology (EdTech) has been re-searched mainly in higher education, there is only little research focusing on primary schools. The education of students should not suffer from an inadequate engagement with EdTech. Nevertheless, there are countries like

Buildings are one of the main contributors to climate change as they consume a significant part of the total energy produced. The reduction of the energy consumption and carbon emissions of the buildings is vitally important for our environment. Building performance simulations (BPS) play an important role when it comes to energy-efficient building design. There are various BPS tools on the market

As the environmental issues such as climate change and air pollution are increasing, the awareness and interest for sustainability has grown as well. Due to this, manufacturing organizations are put under more pressure from stakeholders, to manufacture products that have less negative impact on the environment. One of the stakeholders are the consumers who want to live more sustainably. However, t

This thesis aims to analyse the borderline between private importation and retail sales of alcohol on the EU internal market. This thesis shows that according to the case-law of the Court of Justice of the European Union, the definition of private import is a complex assessment that depends on several factors. Among other indicators, it depends on the shipping and logistics procedure. To be classi

Reaching the targets of the Paris Agreement requires acceleration of low-carbon energy transitions. At the same time, it is not fully understood why some technologies spread more rapidly and widely than others. This thesis advances our understanding of the diffusion of large-scale low-carbon technologies by bridging technology diffusion studies and political economy of transitions. Through combini

Recent research suggests that it is the decline in the frequency of ‘shrinking’ episodes, and not higher growth rates, that are more important for long-term development. A growing body of literature also focuses on how income inequality and poverty affect economic growth rates, with a consensus emerging about their negative impacts. By employing a framework centred around social capabilities, this

The sustainable production and consumption of foods is gaining traction and globally, it is believed that there is nutritional transitional taking place from animal-based protein to plant-based protein. Product requirements, supply chain conditions, and consumption patterns for animal-based proteins and plant-based proteins will vary. This ensures that the packaging of plant-based foods must now m

Decision making is one of the most critical tasks that can have an impact on organisations’ performance. To rely on decisions, organisations need to consider effective decision making. Hence to make effective decisions, most organisations are moving towards data driven deci-sion making with the aim to increase profits and reduce costs that can lead them to a compet-itive advantage. However, adopti

1957 var det år som kvinnor fick börja utbilda sig till poliser, 60 år senare, år 2017 så uppmärksammar #metoo-uppropet den kamp mot sexism och trakasserier som kvinnor fortfarande behöver kämpa. #nödvärn riktar ljuset mot just polisyrket och den sexism, ojämställdhet och tystnadskultur som kvinnliga poliser möter i sitt yrke. Syftet med den här uppsatsen är att undersöka kvinnliga polisers upplev

This research provides an overview of some of the frequently occurring themes in discussion of academic criticism toward child sponsorship with Swedish sponsorship staff. The study aims to provide a deeper understanding of child sponsorship, their purpose, and critique, than the one that can be draw from the existing literature which remains largely detached to the perspectives of the people on th

The aim of this study was to examine and analyze social workers' views on working with individual plans and how they use them in working with their clients. Further, the aim was to emphasize and problematize how the client’s self-determination, responsibility, and effort to change are discussed and can be understood using different theories regarding power and by examining the organizational c

Bakgrund: Diabetes typ 2 är en långvarig fysisk sjukdom och beskrivs vara en av de ledande dödsorsakerna i världen. Det är därför viktigt att personer med diabetes typ 2 har en god glykemisk kontroll och ett hälsosamt levnadssätt. Med hjälp av E-hälsa kan god hälsa uppnås både kostnadseffektivt och flexibelt. Syfte: Syftet var att via en litteraturstudie beskriva hur patienter med diabetes typ 2 u

The legal rule gross violation of women’s integrity is structured in such a way that it firstly gets it’s content through the application, and secondly it opens up for a subjective assessment which can provide scope for a standard assessment of the woman in a specific case. This study aims to examine, from a legal realist perspective, how the court frames the offence and portrays the female victim

A large part of the greenhouse gas emissions and energy use comes from the construction industry. This thesis addresses some of the environmental and energy challenges the construction industry faces regarding renovating buildings. The examined building is Trelleborg Energi´s headquarters. Programs such as IDA ICE, Espoo, Renobuild and Miljöbyggnad 3.1 have been used to review and obtain results.

Hadfield Steels make up a significant group of steels that can perform with their higher strength, excellent wear resistance, and good formability. To achieve this distinctive behavior along with the alloy compositions, heat treatment is also a vital factor. Alloy carbides can be controlled with various heat treatment techniques, as they directly affect the loss in strength, which eventually leads
