Popular Abstract in Swedish Denna avhandling behandlar sociala utredningar om barn. Avhandlingens övergripande syfte är att ur ett kritiskt perspektiv analysera och diskutera hur de rättsligt givna handlingsdirektiven för utredningsförfarandet och det därmed integrerade stöd- och behandlingsarbetet tillämpas i socialtjänstens faktiska utredningsverksamhet, i förhållande till föräldrarna. Frågan bThis thesis is about the social services’ investigations into childrens need of protection and support. The principal purpose is, from a critical perspective, to analyse and discuss how the legally-accorded procedural directives for the execution of an investigation, and therein the integrated support and counselling work, are adapted in the social services’ actual investigation work in relation t

We characterize the varieties in which all soluble groups are torsion-by-nilpotent as well as the varieties in which all soluble groups are locally finite-by-nilpotent.

The objective of this thesis was to find ways of improving part-load efficiency for a spark ignition engine by studying the effects of variable-valve actuation on fluid flow and combustion. The in-cylinder flow was measured with laser doppler velocimetry, LDV, and particle image velocimetry, PIV. A piezo-electric pressure transducer was used to measure the in-cylinder pressure, which was used for

Contemporary society is characterized by processes of fundamental change (keywords: multiple modernities, globalization, mobilization, individualization, transgression of cultures and identities). At the same time, the production of knowledge undergo swift transition and pluralization. By way of discussing sociology’s history as well as some of its non-scientific interfaces, this article deals wit

Different methods of real-time fibre-network visualisation have been studied. Using an extrusion-based method yields very good results, but for large networks the frame rate becomes unacceptably low. To increase the number of fibres that can be visualised in real time, a textured billboard method has been implemented. With this method, an average performance gain of 60% has been achieved, using an

Wafer-level packaging (WLP) technology offers novel opportunities for the realization of high-quality on-chip passives needed in RF front-ends. This paper demonstrates a thin-film WLP technology on top of a 90-nm RF CMOS process with one 15-GHz and two low-power 5-GHz voltage-controlled oscillators (VCOs) using a high-quality WLP or above-IC inductor. The 5-GHz VCOs have a power consumption of 0.3

The heavy metals in mosses survey was originally established in 1980 as a joint Danish-Swedish initiative under the leadership of Angstromke Ruhling, Sweden and has, since then, been repeated at five-yearly intervals with an increasing number of countries and individuals participating. Twenty-eight European countries, almost 7000 sites and about 100 individuals have been involved in the most recen

The development of chronic bronchitis (CB) and chronic obstructive airway disease (COAD) seems to be related to inflammatory changes of airway structure. However, the cause and the exact location and type of these changes resulting in altered airway function are not known. Mucosal inflammation is characterized by the recruitment of granulocytes, macrophages and lymphocytes as well as by the sheddi

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is characterized by various combinations of ?-cell failure and insulin resistance leading to hyperglycemia and glucose intolerance. In order to maintain glucose tolerance in the insulin resistance state, increased insulin secretion is a requirement and it is because of inadequate islet adaptation that glucose intolerance develops in T2DM. The pathophysiology of T2DM

Studies of developmental stability can provide insights into the amount of genetic or environmental stress experienced by individuals or populations. In the present study, we used young plants of Acer platanoides (Norway maple) and Betula pendula (silver birch), two distantly related tree species with widely different leaf morphologies, to compare the expression of developmental instability in two

Syftet med projektet var att jämföra egenskaper hos s k högpresterande betong, d v s betong med mycket låga vattenbindetal (vbt) med motsvarande egenskaper hos normala betongkvaliteter. Studerade egenskaper är hydration, hållfasthetstillväxt och fukttransportegenskaper. I hydrationsstudierna ingår analys av hydratvattenmängd, kemisk krympning och värmeutveckling.

Background: The late-phase reaction (LPR) of the skin is an in vivo model of allergic inflammation. Objective: We sought to identify disease-associated pathways in the LPR using a network-based analysis. Methods: The LPR was examined by means of DNA microarray analysis of skin biopsy specimens from 10 patients with allergic rhinitis and 10 healthy control subjects. The results were further analyze

We present extensive density-functional theory (DFT) based calculations of the clean Rh(111) surface and of CO/Rh(111) overlayer systems. We study both ground-state structural properties and core-level shifts from differences in total energies at different coverages and adsorption sites. Most results are obtained using using norm-conserving or ultrasoft pseudopotentials. The overall reliability of

BACKGROUND: Almost every country in the Western world has great difficulties allocating enough financial resources to meet the needs in the care of the increasing elderly population. The main problem is common to all countries and concerns the efforts to meet elderly persons' needs on an individual level while still maintaining society's responsibility for distributing justice. The aim of this stu
