This essay investigates evidence-based practices in residential care units (RCU’s) for children and youth in Sweden using a quantitative approach. It is based on Sackett’s model of critical appraisal and focuses on evaluating performance in evidence-based interventions; as well as how evaluation practices correlate with assessing scientific evidence, good documentation routines, and RCU orientatio

Genom Norrköpings stadskärna rinner Motala Ström, även kallad Strömmen i folkmun. Strömmen, tillsammans med det karaktäristiska industri-landskapet som stoltserar längs vattenkanten, är det som givit staden dess säregna och unika karaktär. På flera ställen i stan kan man komma i närkontakt med vattnet via bryggor, broar, slussar och promenadstråk – men överallt råder totalt badförbud. I en stad däMotala Ström, also known as Strömmen, flows through the city centre of Norrköping. Strömmen, together with the characteristic industrial landscape that struts along the water’s edge, is what has given the city its peculiar and unique character. There are several places where the urban landscape brings you into close contact with the water via jetties, bridges, sluices and walking paths - but every

In today’s society, sudden cardiac arrest is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Automated External Defibrillators are often found in public spaces, but a majority of sudden cardiac arrests occur in home environments. Even so, the current options for personal defibrillators are severely limited and not adapted for everyday portability. The purpose of this project was to design an Automat

The Yellow Vest movement have been covered extensively in the media since the French grassroot movement had its start back in late 2018. The outrage started with a strong opposition to tax raises on fossil fuels but since then the movement have become something much larger. In a much broader sense the movement have become a strong opposition to Macron and his party and En Marche. Some would even s

This study aims to examine how NATO-states overtly responds to cyberattacks committed by the believed Russian government sponsored hacker group Fancy Bear. After the end of the Cold War the regulation and acceptance for different kinds of covert actions changed in turn with the change in global power dynamics. The current digital environment develops new ways in which states can spy, gather inform

Despite its sandy beaches, lush forest, and many sunshine hours, Bornholm was placed on a list along with 23 other municipalities as a peripheral area by Erhvervsstyrelsen in 2014. This designation means that the municipality’s income per capita is less than 90 percent of the national average and over an hour away from a large city. Being called a peripheral area can come with many negative assump

About 15-20% of all pregnancies end in miscarriage. The phenomenon is common throughout the population, but bereaved women and couples struggle nonetheless. Lang et al. (2011) have shown that a miscarriage can cause shock, grief and pain and lead women into questioning their reproductive abilities. Hiefner (2012) has argued that pregnancy loss is surrounded by a norm of silence, making it difficul

I dagens samhälle finns en ökande trend avseende användning av trä som bärande konstruktionsmaterial, särskilt i bostadshus. En relativt ny träprodukt är korslimmat massivträ (KL-trä). De olika KL-träskivorna inom en golv- eller takkonstruktion ansluts vanligtvis till varandra med skruvförband. Såväl skivans styvhet som anslutningens styvhet påverkar konstruktionens beteende vid horisontell belastSince ancient times, buildings have been constructed with the use of timber and during the modern era, new types of timber products have been developed. Today, more constructions, especially residential buildings are being built with timber as the main load-bearing material. By utilizing timber in buildings, the amount of greenhouse gases emitted in production decreases compared to other common ma

The study also aims to understand men’s point of view in using #metoo to share their experience of sexual harassment or abuse. I have conducted four qualitive interviews with men on a virtual site which extends to the LGBT community

Dramatiska floraförändringar i Skåne Floran i centrala Skåne har förändrats dramatiskt de senaste 60 åren. I mitten av 1900-talet dominerades landskapet av ängs- och betesmarker, högmossar och lövskog. Idag har både jordbruket och skogsbruket intensifierats, och många av ängs- och betesmarkerna hävdas inte längre, samtidigt som införda växter, förvildade från trädgårdar, har spridits i landskapeChanged land-use, nitrogen deposition, climate change, and the spread of non-native species have repeatedly been reported as the main drivers of floristic changes in northern Europe. However, the relevance of the geographical scale at which floristic changes are observed, is less studied and understood. Here, I assess the changes in species richness and species composition in the central parts of

Uppsatsens primära syfte är att besvara vad som avses med begreppet penninglån. Subsidiära frågeställningar som besvaras är när en transaktion innebär en överträdelse av det generella låneförbudet. Låneförbudet innebär i huvudregel att ett aktiebolag inte får lämna penninglån till aktieägare, styrelseledamöter och andra som ingår i ”den förbjudna kretsen”. En stor del i bedömningen av vad som utgöThe primary aim of the paper is to answer what is meant by the concept of money lending. Secondary questions to be answered are when a transaction constitutes a violation of the general prohibition of lending. As a general rule, the prohibition on lending means that a limited liability company may not make loans of money to shareholders, directors and others who are part of the "prohibited ci

En av de viktigaste frågorna för bolag gäller möjligheter till förlustutjämning, dvs. kvittning av en förlust som redovisats för ett beskattningsår mot inkomst för ett annat beskattningsår. Genom möjligheten till förlustutjämning kommer den skatteskyldige att beskattas för en genomsnittsinkomst i stället för de enskilda beskattningsårens varierande resultat. Möjligheter till förlustutjämning medOne of the most important concerns for a company is balancing loss, i.e. loss reported for one year, against future profits in following years. Through the possibility of loss compensation, the taxpayer will be taxed for an average income instead of the varying results of individual tax years. Loss balancing begets a problem - that it can be used for tax evasion. A new company owner can pay less

Gängkriminaliteten låg i mars 2022 i topp tre viktigaste valfrågor för väljare inför valet. Regeringen lade 2019 fram en 34-stegsplan för att bekämpa den gängkriminella situation som råder i Sverige och av förslagen att läsa, ses i vissa grund i den vetenskapliga forskning som finns, samtidigt som en del förslag går rakt emot den. Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka den kriminalpolitiska situ

The aim of this study is to determine how employees at the Swedish police describe witness security measures, how well these perform as well as their connection to legislation. Furthermore it aims to understand these chosen individuals' social norms about witness security and the existing measures. To provide a background on the subject certain concept definitions were made and the relevant le

Black Carbon är resultatet av ofullständig förbränning av fossila bränslen och biomassa. Partiklarna blir luftburna i samband med förbränning och sprids över hela jorden. Utsläpp och spridning av BC är problematiskt, eftersom partiklarna har stor påverkan på människors hälsa och miljön. Metoder för utvinning och kvantifiering av BC ur olika material finns. I studien används en variant av CTO-375-mBlack Carbon is the product of incomplete combustion of fossil fuels and biomass. The particles become airborne during combustion and are effectively distributed all around the world. The release and distribution of BC is of concern because of the effect it has on our health and the environment. To be able to separate BC from sediment and quantify the amount, different methods have been developed.

Bakgrund: Kontroll av gastrisk residualvolym (GRV) via aspiration sker på intensivvårdsavdelningar med syfte att säkerställa tillräcklig nutritionstillförsel och utvärdera risken för komplikationer relaterade till enteral nutrition (EN). Studier visar på oenighet huruvida stor GRV faktiskt ökar risken för negativa effekter, dessutom varierar rutiner för GRV-mätning gällande teknik, frekvens och mBackground: Checking gastric residual volumes (GRV) by aspiration is a method practiced on intensive care units with the purpose of lowering the risk of complications due to enteral nutrition (EN) as well as to ensure adequate delivery of EN. Studies have shown disagreement whether large GRVs increase the risk of negative effects, also the methods of measuring vary by technique, frequency and amou
