The purpose of this study is to examine how young women construct their identity in biographies in relation to their own mental health state, their self harm behavior and the psychiatric institution. Self-harm behavior is a growing problem, primarily for young women. I’ve used a narrative text-analysis to investigate how women construct their identity and to examine the differences between the aut

Informationssamhällets framväxt bidrar med nya utmaningar för rättsliga regleringar utformade efter traditionella gränser när dessa ska upprätthållas i en gränslös digital miljö. Digitaliseringen av samhället ger upphov till rättsfrågor som inte nödvändigtvis är nya men som placerar dessa i en ny miljö, vilket bidrar till en viss osäkerhet kring rättsläget i många fall. Mot bakgrund av detta behanThe development of the information society brings new challenges to legal constructions created in a landscape of traditional boundaries when these are to be upheld and enforced in a borderless digital environment, mainly due to a technical development that is constantly pushing the boundaries. An increased digitalisation of the society gives rise to not necessarily new legal questions but put the

Varumärkets växande betydelse för företagens framgång och värde, de effekter som varumärkesrätten har för en sund marknadskonkurrens och det stundande europeiska varumärkesrättsliga reformpaketet skapar flertalet potentiella infallsvinklar för en juridisk framställning. En av dessa är den grundläggande regeln om användningstvång, i synnerhet kravet på verkligt bruk däri, som ständigt varit föremålThe continuous growing importance of trademarks in relation to the value and success of a business, the effects of trademark law on sound market competition and the forthcoming legislative EU trademarks reform package create several potential judicial aspects. One aspect is the use requirement and in particular the genuine use requirement, which has been the subject of constant debate. The use req

Lagen (1915:218) om avtal och andra rättshandlingar på förmögenhetsrättens område, AvtL och Internationella köplagen eller United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods, CISG, innehåller båda bestämmelser om ingående av avtal som bygger på en anbud-acceptmodell. Även om båda regelverken har samma grundstruktur, skiljer de sig åt i några avseenden, särskilt ifråga om möLagen (1915:218) om avtal och andra rättshandlingar på förmögenhetsrättens område, AvtL, and the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods, CISG, both contain provisions on the conclusion of contracts based on an offer-acceptance model. Although both legal systems have the same basic structure, they differ in some aspects, especially regarding the possibility to re

Skåne kan ha dubbelt så höga utsläpp av växthusgaser. Ett nytt examensarbete visar att länet har mycket högre utsläpp än tidigare rapporterat. Beroende på hur man räknar verkar utsläppen dessutom inte minskat som man tidigare har rapporterat. Det kan finnas en risk att rapporterade utsläppen sjunker medan de indirekta utsläppen som inte rapporteras istället ökar. Denna risk bygger på att vi säljeThis report will analyse an emission monitoring strategy for Skåne in Sweden, as anthropogenic global warming will have a significant environmental impact on the society. Sweden has a great potential for lowering greenhouse gas emissions as a nation. The monitoring of greenhouse emissions within Sweden shows that the trend is slowly coming down. However, new methodologies of monitoring show that c

Nowadays, number inversion is of great significance and a complex arithmetical operator, especially the implementation in hardware. It provides a higher speed performance and lower power consumption. Initially, the conversion of the inputs to floating-point numbers contains sign, exponent, and mantissa parts. The scope of the project is to perform an approximation of the number inversion function.

Syftet med studien är att undersöka konsumenters mobilanvändande i fysisk butik samt diskutera och analysera vilken roll digitaliseringen, genom mobiltelefonen, kan anta i butik. Uppsatsen bygger på en kvalitativ studie med ett abduktivt förhållningssätt. Det empiriska underlaget består av observationer i modebutiker. Vi har utefter våra observationer, och sedermera det empiriska materialet, iden

During 2014, an attack called the BadUSB attack surfaced. This attack allows the attacker to reflash the firmware of a USB devices and make it perform malicious tasks. One particularly interesting attack whose source code has been released recently includes modifying a USB flash drive into also acting as a keyboard thus enabling it to send malicious keystrokes. This thesis presents a modified ver

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning av examensarbetet Utveckling av karaktäriserings-metoder för lignocellulosarika biogassubstrat. Smältande isar, extrema naturkatastrofer och rekordhöga temperaturer; det rapporteras daglig-en om nya händelser som påstås ha orsakats av den globala uppvärmningen. De flesta svenskar är numer familjära med uttrycket och miljömedvetenhet är något som blir mer och mer As the need of environmentally friendly alternatives to fossil fuels is growing bigger, so is the need for knowledge and research around possible new raw materials that could serve that pur-pose. One discussed product is biogas. Since biogas can be produced from not only food waste and wastewater residue, but from any substrate that contains fats, proteins and/or car-bohydrates, with the help of d

The aim of this thesis is to examine how a successful rhetorical strategy should take form, when politicians try to convince the voters to support what they’re advocating for. The case of this study is a newly held referendum in Denmark, where the voters should decide whether to reject or vote for a law, that would give more sovereignty to the European Union in judicial matters. By examining three

The aim of this thesis is to analyse how the Commission has managed to successfully set its EU energy policy as high priority policy on the EU policy agenda. The empirical material used in this study were analysed through the lens of Multiple Stream Approach theory, the Framing Theory, and the securitization concept. Several events leading up to the EU Energy Union from 2000 and onward are discuss

Denna studie har till syfte att belysa xenofobi i dagens Sydafrika samt bidra med förståelsen för bakomliggande orsaker till uppkomsten av främlingsfientlighet. Dessutom önskar vi att bidra med en ökad och utvecklad förståelse för teorierna Etablerade och outsiders av Norbert Elias och John Scotson, Moralisk Panik av Erich Goode & Nachman Ben-Yehuda samt teorin om Ny xenofobi, av Tabish Khair.

The efficiency in an internal combustion engine ranges from 25% to 45%. About 50% - 85% of the overall energy losses in a combustion engine is heat which is either cooled away by the vehicle's radiator or blown out with the exhaust gases. The heat has to be cooled off by the vehicle's cooler and this energy is never put into use again and is therefore called 'waste heat'. Even if a

The SMErobot$^\texttrademark$ is an EU project aiming at giving small and medium enterprises the benefits of robotic automation. This thesis tries to solve the problem of teaching a robot how to grind a surface. The algorithm presented in this thesis reconstructs a surface by triangulating a point cloud. From this surface a path, covering the whole surface, is computed and translated into a RAPID

The 1131-tasks that execute within the 800xA controller have been visualized by implementing three components extending the functionality of the 800xA control and automation platform. The components named TaskVisualizerCommServer (TSCS) and TaskVisualizerCommClient (TSCC) have been added to the controller and control builder respectively and are responsible for data collection and networking. The

For the performance of the Haldex Active Yaw Control, accurate information about vehicle's lateral dynamic is important. It is for practical reasons not possible to measure the vehicle's lateral velocity, wherefore this state has to be estimated. Previous work [1] with an observer based on a single track bicycle model show promising results but with limited accuracy at high lateral acceler

This thesis presents an implementation of a positioning and navigation system for a mobile robot using ultrasonic pulses and passive sensors that are part of a sensor network. The system uses the Telos Tmote Sky sensor-boards running Contiki. In addition to the Tmote Sky the mobile robot consists of a number of processors and is equipped with position encoders for the wheels in order to be able to
