Trycksår är vanligt förekommande bland äldre och multisjuka patienter. Den högre prevalensen av trycksår finns inom intensivvården. Det är begränsning i rörelseförmåga, orsakad av patientens multisjuka tillstånd och högteknologisk miljö på intensivvårdsavdelningen samt känselbortfall och sänkt medvetandegrad till följd av sedativa läkemedel som bidrar till utveclingen av trycksår. Det är av stor v

The presumption of parental liability is an important tool for the Commission, enabling it to hold parent companies jointly and severally liable with their subsidiaries. Parent companies claim however, that they cannot rebut the presumption and are thus rendered strictly liable for their subsidiaries’ conduct. Due to the fact that parent companies repeatedly failed rebutting the presumption with e

The Chua circuit, known to exhibit chaotic behaviour, has been constructed and studied. The goal was to investigate the experimental underpinning of the theory. The component relationship of the resistors, capacitors, inductors and operational amplifiers have been measured and established within their domain of validity. The system equations themselves cannot be directly validated through a tradit

Pursuing Universal Health Care in a developing economy like Ghana is a bold, laudable idea. Given the immutable benefits of Social Health Insurance in this pursuit, the long-term performance of Community-Based Health Insurance (CBHI) Schemes in developing countries remains a conundrum when viewed from the predominant economic and health system frameworks. In the context of a weak state with a larg

The requirements of Fairtrade labeled goods often means a higher price in stores than the corresponding conventional products. The quest of this essay is to investigate the willingness-to-pay for goods that are considered ethical and fair, with Fairtrade

Synthetic estrogens that originate mainly from oral contraceptive pills reach our waters through sewage effluent and potentially affect organisms in the natural environment. This study focused on the effects of the synthetic estrogen 17-alpha-ethinylestradiol (EE2) on the foraging and predator avoidance behaviors of the planktivorous fish roach (Rutilus rutilus), a common fish in Swedish lakes and

Som ett steg i utvecklingen av nästa generations hjullastare görs studier av olika delsystem för att se var energiförbrukningen ligger. Denna masteruppsats har som mål att ta reda på energiförbrukningen för fyra länkage med olika konstruktion. Den kommer även att undersöka hur energiförbrukningen förändras när en elektro-hydraulisk kompensering introduceras för att hålla lasten parallell samt vad As a stage in the development of the next generation of wheel loaders, all systems are evaluated in order to minimize the energy consumption. This master thesis aims to investigate the energy consumption for four linkages with different design. It will also investigate how the energy consumption changes when an electro-hydraulic compensation is added in order to keep the load parallel and what the

To be able to change gears in a transmission it is necessary to remove the torque when disengaging and engaging gears in order not to damage the teeth of the cogs. If the driving torque from the engine to the wheels is interrupted for a longer period of time it can be perceived as very uncomfortable for both the driver and passengers in the vehicle. A gear change can be divided into three main sta
