Forty species from 22 families were recorded across 89 sample sites across three habitat ty

Abstrakt Antalet vårdplatser per invånare i Sverige har minskat de senaste 20 åren. Akutmottagningarna har fått en ökad belastning. Sjuksköterskornas arbetsuppgifter är många och av olika karaktär, allt från att ta hand om enklare symtom till plötslig död. Arbetet kan vara kroppsligt tung och psykiskt påfrestande. Akutmottagningarna har hög personalomsättning och sänkta kompetenskrav vid nyanställAbstract The number of care places per resident in Sweden has decreased in the last 20 years. A consequence of this has been that the emergency department have had an increased work load. The tasks of an emergency room nurse are stimulating as well as challenging. Multiple tasks of various nature ranging from addressing simple symptoms to acute and sudden death. The work may be physically hard

High intensity focused ultrasound is a growing technique for tissue ablation, among other uses, and given its destructive capabilities, there is a need for control of where the energy is delivered. There exist a number of methods for focusing such ultrasound arrays, but these often assume prior knowledge of the impulse response, or require extensive full-system simulations. This thesis explores sc

This study arises from an existential concern that there is an obliviousness in academia with regards to the recent eruption of the transhumanist movement–an ideological force imbued with potentially calamitous socioecological consequences. With the support from recent claims that the transhumanist ideology exerts powerful influence on Western politics, this study seeks to investigate how the tran

This paper examines constructions of nature as communicated in three films by outdoor company Patagonia. By employing discourse analysis and the theory of spectacle, the films are seen to construct nature as wilderness and thus apart from humans. Speaking as an authority on the matter, Patagonia suggests wilderness ideals as a method of conservation. Together with representations of nature as spec

Both C-N and C-C bond formation reactions are fundamental part of synthetic chemistry and have been widely studied for the past several decades and will most likely continue to do so in the future. In this project, I report a base catalyzed transition metal-free C-N and C-C bond formation reactions from abundant and green substrates with sustainable chemistry in mind. Previous methods uses either

Dagens byggbransch har problem med att effektivt förvandla erfarenheter till kunskap som används till att driva mer produktiva byggprojekt. Byggherren spelar en central roll i hur byggprojekt utformas och genomförs och har därmed stora möjligheter att påverka byggbranschens arbetssätt och normer. En stor del av byggbranschens projektkostnader utgörs av felkostnader, något som primärt är byggherren

Bakgrund: Det finns mycket forskning som belyser vikten av god kommunikation vid överrapportering av patienter från olika enheter och mellan arbetspass. Många av de fel som begås inom sjukvården är kopplade till brister i kommunikationen. Ett riskmoment för att drabbas av vårdskada är bristande överrapportering av patienter mellan vårdpersonal Syfte: Syftet var att undersöka sjuksköterskors uppleBackground: There is a lot of research that highlights the importance of good communication when handover patients from different units and between work shifts. Many of the errors committed in healthcare are due to deficiencies in communication. A risk factor for suffering a health care injury is a lack of communication during handover of patients between health care personnel Aim: The aim was to

Sweden has a high number of bomb shelters per capita when compared to other nations. After the end of the cold war, Sweden began to construct bomb shelters and continued to increase their number until 2002. However, because Sweden has not experienced a crisis or war since then, these bomb shelters have aged and some are even past their due date. Formerly, it was determined that other countries co

Values are a crucial aspect of human–nature relationships, and they play important roles in policies on land use and environmental management. However, our current decision-making systems tend to take inadequate account of the diversity of values associated with human relationships with nature. Instrumental, monetary values dominate the political systems following the Western neoliberal hegemony.

In recent years, carbon dioxide removals have gained significant attention as a potential solution to address the climate crisis, and the IPCC considers it an important component of staying within 1.5 degrees of warming. Start-ups are actively working to translate theoretical approaches into tangible biophysical actions. Many of these start-ups offer their services as carbon credits, which allow c

Under de senaste åren har en ny invändning i våldtäktsmål uppkommit i de svenska domstolarna; sexsomniinvändningen. Med denna invändning påstår försvarssidan att den sexuella handlingen har begåtts i sömnen, vilket medför avsaknad av medvetenhet och uppsåt. I brottsbalken stadgas att om inget annat är föreskrivet är en gärning endast ett brott om den företas med uppsåt. Om åklagaren inte lyckas moIn recent years, a new objection in rape cases has arisen in the Swedish courts; the sexsomnia objection. With this objection, the defense claims that the sexual act was committed during sleep, leading to the perpetrator lacking awareness and intent. The Swedish Criminal Code stipulates that, unless otherwise prescribed, an act is only a crime if committed with intent. Granted that the prosecutor

This thesis analyzes the effects of mountain tourism on local people and communities in Nepal with a focus on three main questions: the equity of mountain jobs, the impacts of Western mountaineering’s dominance on local cultures, and the respect and lack of respect for local workers' lives. Despite repeated accounts of precarious and dangerous working conditions the adventure and mountain tour

As electrification of vehicles moves past its infancy and large-scale adoption of the technology becomes reality, application areas within different industries need to be scrutinized. The shift within the transportation sector, especially trucking, can have unidentified economic benefits; which is the focus of this thesis. The purpose of this thesis is to develop a decision model with regard to th

Makar har möjlighet att reglera sina egendomsförhållanden i händelse av skilsmässa, genom ett äktenskapsförord. Ett äktenskapsförord kan, vid tidpunkten för bodelning, framstå som oskäligt för den ena maken. Denne kan i sådana fall åberopa bestämmelsen om jämkning av oskäliga äktenskapsförord i 12 kap. 3 § äktenskapsbalken (1987:230) (ÄktB). Nyare rättspraxis rörande bestämmelsen om jämkning av äkSpouses have the opportunity to regulate their economical relations in case of a divorce, through a prenuptial contract. The contract could, at the time of the partition, appear as inequitable for one of the spouses. In such cases can that spouse invoke the provision on adjustment of prenuptial contracts in chapter 12 section 3 of the Swedish Marriage Code (1987:230). There’s yet a lack of recent

This paper is a cross-country study on how national culture affects institutional private equity and venture capital investments in Europe and is based on the previous works of Groh, Liechtenstein and Lieser (2010) and Hofstede, Hofstede and Minkov (2011). We argue that national culture affects capital allocation and that this parameter is often missing in the contemporary discourse on the drivers
