Popular Abstract in Swedish I denna avhandling undersöks på vilka sätt en juridisk och individuell rättighet som personlig assistans för människor med omfattande funktionshinder, kan förverkligas. Personlig assistans infördes 1994, som en del av lagen om stöd och service till vissa funktionshindrade (LSS). Avhandlingen fokuserar på hur förverkligandet kan ske främst genom lagstiftning, men också iThis thesis examines in what way a legal and a personal right can be realized regarding Personal Assistance to people with severe impairments. Personal Assistance was introduced in 1994 as part of Act concerning Support and Service for Persons with Certain functional Impairments (abbreviated LSS after the Swedish title of the Act). The investigation is focused on how this can be done particularly

Popular Abstract in Swedish Miljömarknadsföring och miljömanagement. En undersökning av sambandet mellan miljöorientering och försäljning av ekologiska produkter samt försäljning generellt inom svensk dagligvaruhandel.The purpose of this thesis was to develop a conceptual framework of food retailers’ ecological orientation that considers the interaction between ecological marketing and ecological management. In this context, the relationship was examined between ecological orientation and sales of ecological food products and the overall store performance of Swedish food retailers. To fulfil this purpose eco-or

A simple analytical model for the link loss between two very low profile wireless body area network transceivers located at the same level on the human torso is presented. The model is based on the attenuation of the creeping waves on an elliptical approximation of the human torso. A good agreement between the model and the FDTD simulations on realistic heterogeneous phantoms of different age and

Debates around gender and sexuality currently inform important negotiations of citizenship and belonging in Canada. In this chapter, we broadly outline main areas of research in the social sciences for Canadianists from German-speaking countries. We focus on two separate but interrelated themes that have recently gained a particular salience in Canadian society and politics: 1) Gender and the oste

Popular Abstract in Swedish Alla levande celler omges av membran, som reglerar dess kontakt med omgivningen. Cellmembran består av flera sorters lipider men även av kolhydrater och ett stort antal proteiner med olika funktion. Lipider är en grupp av molekyler som har ett hydrofilt (vattenälskande) huvud och en hydrofob (vattenavstötande) svans. I en omgivning lik den i kroppens celler d.v.s. beståThe work presented in the thesis “RNA in model lipid membranes- interactions in bulk and at surfaces” aims to characterize the interaction between RNA and model membranes with different properties as well as to determine if ssRNA associate with model membranes in different ways. Several techniques have been used to characterize these systems, including quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation

High-throughput technologies have led to an explosion in the availability of data at the genome scale. Such data provide important information about cellular processes and causes of human diseases, as well as for drug discovery. Deciphering the biologically relevant results from these data requires comprehensive analytical methods. In this dissertation, we present methods for gene and protein expr

Popular Abstract in Swedish HIMMELSKOMPASSEN En orienterare förlitar sig på karta och kompass för att finna sin väg genom skogen. När solen börjar gå ner blir det allt svårare att urskilja den röda kompassnålens riktning och detaljerna på kartan. Orienteraren slår slutligen på sin pannlampa och fortsätter springa mot sitt mål. Han är inte ensam. Många andra varelser har också ett mål att nå under The polarization pattern of skylight offers many animals a reference for visual compass orientation. In those cases when this optical compass is identified, the receptors involved are often confined to a small part of an eye built predominantly for other visual tasks. This thesis reports the discovery of a unique compass organ in the spider Drassodes cupreus, where a pair of specialised secondary

Abstract in UndeterminedFor centuries rammed earth has been a method of construction in various parts of the world. It is an economical building technique as earth is an abundant cheap resource. It is durable, safe and a desirable building technique for hot climates. This paper is discussing a workshop activity in building with sustainable rammed earth construction methods in Egypt. It adds to pre
