The purpose of this study was to examine drug availability and social risk- and safety factors regarding adolescents' drug use. The method used for this study was a survey, with 140 students from Helsingborg's high schools as respondents, allowing a quantitative analysis. The theory used in this study was Albert Bandura's social learning theory. Previous research shows that there are s

In this article, we compare two compounding structures in Spanish and Italian that have been described as consisting of a noun and a predicate, where the former has been argued to be interpreted as an argument of the latter: the VN structure (Sp. lavaplatos It. lavapiatti “dish washerµ) and the NV structure (Sp. videovigilanci It. videosorveglianza, “video surveillanceµ). We show that the differen

In this Letter, we manipulate the phase shift of a Josephson junction using a parallel double quantum dot (QD). By employing a superconducting quantum interference device, we determine how orbital hybridization and detuning affect the current-phase relation in the Coulomb blockade regime. For weak hybridization between the QDs, we find π junction characteristics if at least one QD has an unpaired

All of our toothbrushes are de- signed to be thrown away. all the corner and delicate details suit the purpose of becoming fast unappeling. even the electric components are desgined with planned obsoleszenz in mind.

Dagens produktion och användning av plaster är omfattande. En mycket stor del av de plaster som produceras används som förpackningsmaterial, vilket används enbart en gång innan det slängs och hamnar på deponier eller i naturen. Väl i naturen kan plasterna fastna omkring eller i sin helhet ätas av djur, som sedan går ett mörkt öde till mötes. De plaster som hamnar i vattendrag, sjöar och hav utsättPlastics are widely used and get degraded to micro- and nanoplastics once entering the environment. Nanoparticles have different properties compared to the bulk form of the material. Protein coronas are formed in biological systems and cause structural changes to the bound proteins. The effects following the nanoparticles’ interactions with the biological systems are worth studying to find possibl

När en himlakropp med hyperhastighet kolliderar med jorden skapas nedslagskratrar. Nedslags- kratrar ger oss en inblick i hur jordens geologi har blivit påverkad av dessa storskaliga event. När nedslag sker om- vandlas projektilens rörelseenergi till chockvågor som rör sig genom berggrunden och deformerar mineral. Detta fenomen har kommit att kallas för chockmetamorfos. Chockvågen skapar chockm

I denna uppsats har jag undersökt hur regleringen kring visselblåsning och företagshemligheter har inneburit en kompromiss mellan två olika intressen. Utifrån detta har följande frågor besvarats. Hur skyddas visselblås-ning/visselblåsare i gällande rätt? Vilka intressen ligger bakom skyddet för visselblåsning och hur återges dessa i förarbeten och EU-direktiv? Hur regleras skyddet för företagshemlIn this essay, I have examined how legislation on whistle blowing and trade secrets and the ways in which it has resulted in a compromise between two different interests. Based on this purpose, the following questions have been answered. How are whistleblowing and whistleblowers protected by current law? What are the fundamental interests that motivates the protection of whistleblowing and how are

The Neumann--Neumann method is a commonly employed domain decomposition method for linear elliptic equations. However, the method exhibits slow convergence when applied to semilinear equations and does not seem to converge at all for certain quasilinear equations. We therefore propose two modified Neumann--Neumann methods that have better convergence properties and require less computations. We pr

Ett av de viktigaste målen inom experimentell fysik, om inte det viktigaste, är att utföra precisa mätningar för att nå bästa möjliga resultat. Inom högenergifysik görs mätningarna med hjälp av specialbyggda detektorer som bland annat finns vid världens största partikelaccelerator the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Vid LHC utförs flera experiment och ett av dessa är A Large Ion Collider Experiment This thesis deals with the physics performance of an approved inner tracker upgrade of the ALICE experiment involving a novel and ultra-thin silicon detector with a cylindrical geometry. During the thesis work, a method was developed in simulations to induce distortions to the detector’s geometry, and the resulting loss in physics performance was evaluated. A strategy was also developed to be able

Uppsatsen syftar till att undersöka definitionen av handelsagent i 1 § Lag (1991:351) om handelsagentur och hur denna förhåller sig till motsvarande definition i Direktiv 86/653/EEG om samordning av medlemsstaternas lagar rörande självständiga handelsagenter och dess tillämpningsområde. Uppsatsen tar sin utgångspunkt i det faktum att den svenska definitionen av handelsagent förefaller innehålla eThe purpose of the thesis is to examine the definition of commercial agent in 1 § of the Swedish Commercial Agents Act and how it compares to the corresponding definition in the Council Directive 86/653/EEG on the coordination of the laws of the Member States relating to self-employed commercial agents and its scope of application. The thesis starts out from the fact the Swedish definition of com

Bakgrund: Människor använder sina händer i de flesta aktiviteter för att exempelvis kommunicera, undersöka med känsel och utföra finmotoriska rörelser. Handen spelar därför en viktig roll i vardagen. En handskada kan resultera i stora problem att utföra vitala aktiviteter. Rehabilitering efter en handskada innefattar att gradvis använda den skadade handen i vardagen igen och därför behövs åtgärderBackground: People use their hands often in most daily activities to for example communicate, explore with touch and perform fine motor movements. The hand is therefore an important part of daily living. A hand injury can result in problems performing vital activities. Rehabilitation after a hand injury includes gradual use of the injured hand in daily living again and thus there is a need for st

Why are Western governments not retrieving detained minor nationals from Al-Hol’s purgatory-like conditions? This article shows, under international human rights law, that the status of detained children as rights bearers is uncontroversial, as is their right to positive protection. We raise issues from recent debate on the securitisation of geopolitics in the relationship between the Middle East

Low-and-middle-income countries (LMICs) bear a high burden of intimate partner violence (IPV). However, there are no reviews assimilating the factors affecting risk of IPV in LMICs. This systematic review (2010–20) identifies risk and protective factors of IPV in LMICs. We followed the PRISMA guidelines to review 399 studies and included 32 studies. Studies were of ever-partnered women living in a

I uppsatsen granskas Europakonventionen i syfte att undersöka om det kan finnas positiva materiella skyldigheter kopplade till klimatförändringar samt rätten till liv och hälsa uttryckta i artikel 2 och 8 i konventionen. Den börjar med att sammanställa hur en positiv materiell skyldighet kopplad till Europakonventionen uppkommer. Slutsatsen är att det krävs ett hot om kränkning av rätten till liv This thesis examines the ECHR with the aim of exploring the possible existence of positive substantive obligations connected to climate change and pertaining to the right to life and right to health as expressed in article 2 and 8 of the Convention. It departs by compiling how a positive substantive obligation is found in the ECHR system. It concludes that there must be a threat of harm to the rig

I mål om våldtäkt mot barn kan särskilda bevissvårigheter uppstå då ord ofta står mot ord. Det centrala i domstolarnas bevisvärdering i sådana situationer är att värdera tillförlitligheten i barnets muntliga utsaga. Situationen försvåras ytterligare av att barn, enligt rättspsykologisk forskning, har särskilda svårigheter med att framföra muntlig bevisning i fråga om sexuella övergrepp. ExempelvisIn cases of child rape, evidentiary difficulties can arise as one person’s word often stands against another’s. The courts’ primary task in these situations is to assess the reliability of the child’s oral statement. These situations are further complicated by the fact that children, according to forensic psychology research, face difficulties in presenting oral evidence of sexual abuse. For insta

Vi människor har ett behov av sociala interaktioner för att må bra och trivas med vår tillvaro. Inom såväl organisationskultur som i team är de mellanmänskliga relationerna centrala. Denna kvalitativa intervjustudie syftar till att, genom en hermeneutisk metod, analysera hur team i en bank uppfattar sin organisationskultur samt hur arbete i team påverkar denna uppfattning. Studiens resultat visar We humans need social interaction to feel well and thrive in our existence. Within organizational culture as well as in teams, interpersonal relationships are central. In this qualitative interview study, the purpose is to, through a hermeneutic method, analyze how teams in a bank perceive their organizational culture and how working in teams affects this perception. The study results show that wo
