The aim of this thesis is motivated by three parallel discussions; the popular Lutheran rhetoric in placing law against grace, the discussion in contemporary moral philosophy where a neutral perspective on ethical assessments is assumed, and a recent Swedish case and public debate in which a minority group's need for bodily integrity was breached with reference to universal principles. These d

Phantoms mimicking the specific mechanical and acoustic properties of human tissues are essential in the development and evaluation of novel ultrasound methods. In this work, various ultrasound phantoms are proposed to be used in the development of ultrasound methods to investigate the arterial walls longitudinal movements influence on the vasa vasorum circulation. The longitudinal movement of art

Companies want to keep their customers. Especially, when they offer subscription based services instead of one time purchases. In the former case, if customers want to leave the company, they need to cancel their subscription. This is called customer churn. On the example of One.com, a company that offers subscription based web hosting, a mathematical model is developed to predict customer churn,

De senaste åren har svensk transvård varit ämne för skarp kritik från såväl enskilda transpersoner som organisationer engagerade i transfrågor. Hösten 2017 publicerade Transgender Europe en omfattande internationell rapport som visar på betydande skillnader mellan patienters och vårdgivares uppfattning av den vård som erbjuds transpersoner i bland annat Sverige. Förutom i denna rapport har det docA large-scale international report recently published by Transgender Europe shows great discrepancy between the patients’ and the caregivers’ views on transgender care. Apart from this report, those working in transgender care have yet to make their voices heard. However, transgender individuals as well as organizations working with issues of the transgender and queer communities in Sweden have be

In this thesis I investigate the notion of imagination in Romantic thought and in the visual art of William Blake with the aim of making a contribution to theological methodology. In early German Romanticism, as well as in the art of William Blake, the concept of imagination plays a central role in the relationship between the Absolute and the perceiving and knowing subject. My thesis takes its st

Tillförlitliga modeller för gröna tak kan minska risken för översvämningar I framtidens städer kommer risken för översvämningar att vara större, men gröna tak kan eventuellt bidra till att förhindra dessa problem. För att veta var dessa kan göra störst nytta kan man använda sig av modeller, förutsatt att de ger tillförlitliga resultat. I framtiden kommer allt fler människor att bo i städer, vilkDue to the ongoing urbanisation, the urban environment will consist of extended impervious areas, such as roof tops, roads and parking lots. During rainfall events these kinds of impermeable areas will cause a faster and larger response in runoff, which can lead to an increased load on the storm-water system and thus increase the risk of flooding. In certain areas, the situation will be further wo

Det kan i dagsläget vara svårt att veta hur många som vistas i en byggnad. Detta är problematiskt sett ur räddningstjänstens perspektiv. Om räddningstjänsten under räddningsinsatser vet hur många personer som finns kvar i en byggnad samt var de befinner sig, kan räddningsinsatsen effektiviseras. Utrymningssystem som har kännedom om personers position i en byggnad medger möjlighet att i realtid vägIf during an emergency, the rescue service have knowledge of how many people are left in a building and where they are located, the rescue service’s response could be more effective and reduce the overall risk. Dynamic crowd management is a new way of managing crowd movements during an emergency. For this system to work,sensors capable of tracking people in need of evacuation, is required. In Octo

Vi studerar en särskild typ av lösningar till den endimensionella kubiska icke-linjära Schrödingerekvationen (NLS). Denna ekvation dyker upp inom fysiken, t.ex. då man vill modellera Bose-Einstein kondensat. Detta är ett aggregationstillstånd som en gas bestående av bosoner med låg densitet kan övergå till vid nedkylning till temperaturer nära den absoluta nollpunk- ten, varvid bosonerna delar samWe consider quasi-periodic standing wave solutions U(t, x) = exp(i(ωt−px))Ψ(x) to the one-dimensional defocusing cubic nonlinear Schrödinger equation, where we assume that Ψ : R → C is 2π−periodic. We study a constrained minimization problem associated with these solutions, and we show that solutions with minimal period of Ψ(x) strictly less than 2π cannot be minimizers, whereas locally the minimu

Varje dag pågår parallellt ofantligt många kemiska reaktioner i vår kropp vars funktion är att bryta ner och bygga upp olika typer av molekyler. Ett samlingsnamn för de molekyler som både bryts ner och används som byggstenar i kroppen är metaboliter och disciplinen som fokuserar på studien av dessa metaboliter kallas för metabolomik. Metabolomik kan användas för att få en fördjupad förståelse för Instrumental analysis in metabolomics has proven to be a challenging topic due to metabolites having a wide spectrum of physiochemical properties and concentrations. The more conventional techniques in metabolomics include gas chromatography and liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometric (MS) detection. In most cases these techniques provide methods that are adequate for metabolomic res

Effekterna av mikroplaster är ännu inte helt utredda och därför kan de vara mycket farligare än vad vi vet idag. Plastpartiklarna kan finnas överallt i miljön och en hittills outforskad spridningskälla är deponier och dess lakvatten. Det har inte undgått allmänheten att större plastskräp, det vill säga makroplaster, både förfular samt förstör natur och miljö. Mindre plastskräp, så kallade mikropAlthough most microplastics (<5 mm in length or diameter, depending on shape) are not visible they can be found everywhere in the environment. The effects can be devastating and much greater than what has been proven so far, as there is a lack of knowledge about the impact, spread and extent of microplastics. The Swedish EPA published a report in June 2017 which reveals a number of major microplas

Syfte: Syftet med denna uppsats är öka förståelsen för vad som bidrar till ett högt organisatoriskt engagemang hos medarbetare. Metod: En kvalitativ fallstudie på företaget Carl F. Datainsamling har primärt genomförts genom semistrukturerade intervjuer och det analytiska ramverket som har använts är kategorisk reducering genom ett tolkande synsätt. Teoretiskt perspektiv: Studien utgår från Meyer

Droplet microfluidics is a technique that can improve biochemical analyses through higher throughput, lower sample volumes, and reduced costs. For several applications of droplet microfluidics, manipulation of the droplets is required. Trapping is one technique to manipulate the droplets, and can be used for incubation and monitoring of the droplets, allowing enough time for chemical processes to

The aim of this study is to, with depth in the coping theory presented by Lazarus and Folkman, analyse two different self biographies written by people brought up in families with an alcoholic mother. Namely “Vi har inga hemligheter i den här familjen” by Therése Eriksson and “Glöm mig” by Alex Schulman. The focus is to investigate which coping resources the authors used to deal with their life si

The aim of the study has been to examine how young men describe training habits, eating habits and good health. In order to achieve this, six qualitive semistructured interviews were held with six men between the age of 20-30 who are practising or have been practising some sort of exercise. The interview contained questions regarding training habits, eating habits and view of good health, but also

This thesis argues for the significance of worry in Mark Haddon’s A Spot of Bother (2006) and The Red House (2012). All of Haddon’s novels can be said to be a study of the human consciousness, containing a variety of worried characters, but it is notable that worry is most predominantly present in the two novels that centre around complex family dynamics. For this reason, these two novels will be

Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka sambandet mellan premenstruella symptom och premenstruell relaterad nedsättning, premenstruell coping, psykologisk flexibilitet, socialt stöd och livskvalitet hos svenska kvinnor som lider av premenstruellt syndrom (PMS) och/eller premenstruell dysforisk störning (PMDS). Denna studie syftar till att fylla en lucka i litteraturen där dessa samband undersöksThe aim of this study was to examine the relationship between premenstrual symptoms and impairment, premenstrual coping, psychological flexibility, social support, and quality of life (QoL) in a sample of Swedish women who suffer from Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) and/or Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD). This study seeks to address a gap in the literature where these relationships are under-in

Bullying is a daily recurring event in Swedish workplaces. Previous research show that the leader of the workplace is often pointed out as one of the most common reasons for workplace bullying, and that leaders often lack knowledge on what expressions bullying might take, and also how to prevent it. Previous research is mainly based on statements from employees, which is why this study aims to inv

This study examined the knowledge and attitude of social workers working with preliminary assessments and investigations regarding children aged 0-20 diagnosed with ADHD. The theoretical framework which has been used to analyze the open questions in our survey are profession theories. 340 social workers in Götaland completed a questionnaire examining their knowledge and attitudes towards children
