Our objective was to study the knowledge of children's rights among seventh graders, and it dif¬fered between various economic areas. Our selection was all seventh graders in Helsingborg. Our approach was the quantitative approach with survey as an instrument. We found that there are differences and that some of these are connected with which economic area the children belong to. We had hypoth

Smärta är vanligt förkommande efter ortopediska operationer och behöver behandlas för att minska lidande och risken för postoperativa komplikationer. Trots att vikten av smärtlindring är känd existerar hinder för att uppnå god smärtlindring. Syftet var att belysa patienters erfarenhet av smärta med huvudfokus på smärtlindring efter en ortopedisk operation. En litteraturstudie med integrerad analy

Analogue atomic spectral lines from different isotopes display a small shift in energy, commonly referred as the frequency isotope shift. One of the components of the isotope shift is the field shift, which depends on the extent and the shape of the nuclear charge density distribution. In this work, we investigate how sensitive field shifts are with respect to variations in the nuclear size and sh

There is an ongoing shift to mobility in business IT, as well as in the consumer space. Users do not demand mobile availability anymore, they simply expect the ability to access business IT with consumer devices. Stemming from this demand, mobile business intelligence (BI) has emerged as a response from the BI industry. Thus, mobile BI is an extension of traditional BI into mobile devices. In line

A proteoglycan is a protein with at least one glycosidic chain or glycosaminoglycan (GAG) covalently bound to it. Since a common linker between the core protein and the GAG chain has a xylose present, the biosynthesis of GAGs can be primed using xylosides containing hydrophobic aglycons providing that these xylosides are capable of penetrating the cell membrane. 2-naphthyl β-D-xylopyranoside prim

Chitosan films for food packaging applications were prepared from shrimp and cricket chitosan, enriched with Schisandra chinensis extract. Physicochemical and antibacterial properties of the films were studied and compared with references studying similar chitosan films. Chitosan is a biodegradable polymer, mostly harvested from shells of crustaceans, which has been studied for packaging applicati

Katalysatorer är viktiga för effektivisering av både industri och spetsforskning. Att se enstaka atomer är inte möjligt i vanliga ljusmikroskop, så högupplösande elektronmikroskop har använts för att bestämma storlek hos katalytiska guldnanopartiklar mellan 5 och 20nm.In this project catalysts have been analyzed, in the sense of size and composition, using a Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM). This important class of substances are used to facilitate chemical reactions, in everything from specific molecular research to conversion car emissions which explains the importance of research. Nanoparticles of gold (Au) have been shown to have good catalytic perfor

Uppsatsen behandlar om normer kring kön påverkar tillämpningen av rekvisitet socialt nedbrytande beteende i Lag (1990:52) med särskilda bestämmelser om vård av unga (LVU). Tanken är att med hjälp av teori och kvalitativa studier i form av intervjuer belysa om normer om kön påverkar flickors och pojkars bedömningar och då också indirekt deras rättssäkerhet i de här fallen. Och om det kan vara så atThis thesis examines if there are any differences depending on gender in interpretation of the procedural requirement ”socially destructive behaviour” in the LVU. Furthermore, if ethics and expectations about gender influence transpiracy and legal certainty in these cases. The purpose is to find out if there are moral codes and expectations about how a girl or a boy should behave, which are not a

This meta-analysis synthesized 60 effect sizes from 41 papers (overall N = 17.226), about the relation between self-efficacy beliefs and creativity. Taken as a whole, the relation between those two constructs, assuming a random-effects model, is with r = .39 of medium size, as was proposed. Further subgroup analyses revealed a pattern of self-rated creativity measures (r = .53) those which use ite

Syftet med denna uppsats är att studera mediala fenomen i Gertrud Hellbrands romaner vinthunden (2004) och Scenario X (2008). Analysen är i huvudsak baserad på perspektiv hämtade från det intermediala och queerteoretiska forskningsfältet. För att studera mediala inslag, samband och samspel använder jag mig av en medialitetsmodell som fokuserar på intra-, inter- och transmediala fenomen, mellan med

Drones used for illegal purposes is a growing problem and a way to detect these is needed. This thesis has evaluated the possibility of using sound analysis as the detection mechanism. A solution using linear predictive coding, the slope of the frequency spectrum and the zero crossing rate was evaluated. The results showed that a solution using linear predictive coding and the slope of the frequen

This paper examines the impact of years of schooling on female employment decisions and on the intensity of employment by using the variation across countries and over birth cohorts in compulsory schooling reforms. The sample includes women aged 25 to 64 from five eurozone countries and the data covers the year of 2010. The findings suggest that years of schooling do not have a significant effect

Thermoelectric elements have long been anticipated to challenge conventional solutions for converting heat to electricity. However, the revolution has been stalled due to the inability to reach efficiencies comparable to their conventional counterparts, while retaining a high output power. In this work we will model a thermoelectric element based on nanowires embedded with a quantum dot superlattice

The purpose of this thesis Conducted Improvisation is to study how a musical sign language can effect creativity, musical interaction and sense of freedom in ensemble playing by analyzing Extemporize, a sign system I have developed, with the further goal to explore the pedagogical potential in this practice. The research questions that drive this study are: In what ways does the sign system effect

This thesis aims to provide a suggestion to how a chair could be designed to have less negative impact on the environment. At many offices the turnover of furniture is big. By conducting interviews and study visits, it was indicated that chairs used in lunch areas and meeting rooms are the type of furniture that gets exchanged the most in office environments. Many of the existing chairs used for t

Hegemonic feminism have often been criticised for organising from a white, heterosexual, able-bodied, middle-class perspective. As a counteracting of this many minority groups have chosen to organise separately, based on common interests or experiences. This thesis explores the politics of minority women and groups’ organising practices. It also discusses the compatibility of civil society and fem

Denna uppsats undersöker huruvida en nedskrivning av goodwilltillgång har störst samband med framtida eller historiska kassaflöden. Detta för att försöka besvara om nedskrivningar i svenska bolag skjuts på framtiden. Genom en kvantitativ undersökning finner uppsatsen att de historiska kassaflödena har ett större samband. Det betyder därmed att nedskrivningar sker senare än de borde. Detta fenomen
