The socio-physical qualities of built environments are, in several ways, of imperative importance for children growing up. The Child-Friendly Cities initiative by UNICEF, an implementation of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, has made local governments strive toward child-friendliness. The participation of children and young people is often the focus of such projects, with a potential The socio-physical qualities of built environments are, in several ways, of imperative importance for children growing up.

Recently, there has been an increase in apartments with a large number of inhabitants, i.e., high residential density. This is partly due to a housing shortage in general but also increased migration, particularly in suburbs of major cities. This paper specifies issues that might be caused by high residential density by investigating the technical parameters influenced in Swedish apartments that a

Audio description (AD) provides access to audiovisual materials for people with visual impairments and blindness (BVI) and offers a richer and more detailed understanding and experience. The cognitive approach to AD concerns perceptual, cognitive and meaning-making processes underlying production and reception of AD. By meaning-making, we mean multimodal textual and contextual processing, understaAudio description (AD) provides access to audiovisual materials for people with visual impairments and blindness (BVI) and offers a richer and more detailed understanding and experience.

The oeuvre of the recently deceased Chilean writer Pedro Lemebel (1952–2014) can be described as an expression for systematically persecuted, repressed, censored minoritarian voices, both during the Chile of the dictatorship, that is during the 1970s and 1980s, as well as afterwards, in democratic Chile, that is from the 1990s onwards. These voices build discourses where gender, class or ethnic idThe oeuvre of the recently deceased Chilean writer Pedro Lemebel (1952–2014) can be described as an expression for systematically persecuted, repressed, censored minoritarian voices, both during the Chile of the dictatorship, that is during the 1970s and 1980s, as well as afterwards, in democratic Chile, that is from the 1990s onwards.

Promoting resource- and energy-efficient home lighting through technology and behaviour change requires an understanding of how residents currently use lighting and what they want from it. However, users’ needs and desires relating to lighting in homes are poorly understood, as research is still limited. This paper aims to provide a fuller picture of residents’ experiences with their homelighting.Promoting resource- and energy-efficient home lighting through technology and behaviour change requires an understanding of how residents currently use lighting and what they want from it.

Previous research has shown that it is possible to decarbonise Sweden's road transport sector. This study develops a scenario based method and analyses the influence of external factors on energy security, focusing on passenger and freight transport. It does so by analysing the vulnerabilities and capabilities of five different climate mitigation strategies, investigating previous security scenariPrevious research has shown that it is possible to decarbonise Sweden's road transport sector.

The requirement of flexibility in the modern industries demands robots that can be efficiently and quickly adapted to different tasks. A way to achieve such a flexible programming paradigm is to instruct robots with task goals and leave planning algorithms to deduct the correct sequence of actions to use in the specific context.

The micro-mechanisms of fracture in a laminate composed of an aluminium foil and a polyethene film are considered. Thelaminate as well as the freestanding layers were fracture mechanically tested. Inspection of the broken cross-sections shows thatfracture occurs through necking, i.e., localised plastic deformation leading to a decreasing and eventually vanishing cross-section.T

Syftet med detta arbete är att undersöka om rullande bärighetsmätningar RWD är ett alternativ till fallviktsmätningar FWD i arbetet kring vägbärighet i vägprojekt. Bärighet beskrivs av Trafikverket som ” Den högsta last, enstaka eller ackumulerad, som kan accepteras med hänsyn till uppkomst av sprickor eller deformationer”. Det vill säga hur tunga fordon en väg eller en bro kan belastas med s

Emotionsreglering (ER) innebär en förmåga att moderera varaktigheten och intensiteten av negativa känslomässiga upplevelser. Den aktuella studien utökar tidigare kunskap om ER i tonåren genom att anta en personcentrerad ansats för att undersöka profiler karaktäriserade av olika användning av följande ER-strategier: ruminering, socialt stöd, positiv omorientering, distraktion, kreativitet och aggreEmotion regulation (ER) refers to the ability to moderate duration and intensity of negative emotional experiences. The current study extends existing knowledge of ER in adolescence by adopting a person-centered approach to examine ER profiles characterized by different uses of the following ER strategies: rumination, social support, positive reorientation, distraction, creativity and aggression,

I denna rapport jämförs två olika grundläggningsmetoder med fokus på deras praktiska tillämpning och tillhörande klimatpåverkan i urbana miljöer. Syftet är att undersöka, belysa och öka kunskapen om mindre beprövade grundläggningsmetoder i Sverige, samt öka förståelsen för deras potentiella fördelar. Jämförelsen fokuserar på hur en permanent bärande sekantpålevägg utförd med CCFA-metoden kan vara This report presents a comparative analysis of two foundation methods, focusing on their practical implementation and environmental impact in urban environments. The aim is to examine and enhance understanding of less commonly used foundation techniques in Sweden, while also evaluating their potential advantages. The comparison specifically investigates whether a permanently load-bearing secant pi

Bakgrund Tidigare studier indikerar att det kan finnas en fördel med att utföra konditionsträning under rehabiliteringen för patienter med främre korsbandsskada. Kunskapen om hur mycket konditionsträning som ingår i rehabiliteringsperioden för patienter med främre korsbandsskada är inte tillräckligt beskriven i litteraturen. Syfte Huvudsyftet med denna studie är att undersöka om och hur kondition

Testamentet uppstod i Sverige på 1200-talet, som resultatet av kyrkligt inflytande. Testamentsrätten, som idag finns i ärvdabalken, har formats långsamt sedan dess. Först på 1930-talet fick testamentet sin nuvarande form i testamentslagen. Enligt gällande rätt utgörs ett ordinärt testamente av en skriftlig handling som undertecknats av testatorn och bevittnats av två vittnen. Vid nödfall eller sjuThe Swedish will first appeared in Sweden during the 13th century as a result of the church’s influence. The law of wills, a part of the Swedish inheritance code, is the result of an evolution extending from the 13th century into the 1930’s when the will was given its current form prescribed by law. An ordinary will requries a written document, signed by the testator and witnessed by two wittnesse

I mars 2015 nådde den globalt genomsnittliga koldioxidhalten 400 ppm för första gången på tre miljoner år. Därför satte den svenska regeringen, år 2017, upp målet att Sverige ska vara klimatneutralt år 2045. Samtidigt står den svenska byggindustrin för 18,1 miljoner ton växthusgasutsläpp, vilket motsvarar 19 procent av Sveriges totala utsläpp. Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka och analyserThe global average carbon dioxide concentration reached 400 ppm for the first time in three million years, in March 2015. This calls for drastic measures so in 2017 the Swedish government set up the goal of making Sweden climate neutral by 2045. Meanwhile, the construction sector in Sweden accounts for 18.1 million tons of green- house gases which is 19 percent of Sweden’s total emissions. The pur

I denna uppsats observeras först den historiska bakgrunden till konflikten kring visstidsanställningar och rättsutvecklingens stora drag med särskilt fokus på anställningsformerna. Efter detta lyfts den fackliga kritiken mot visstidsanställningar i allmänhet och behovsanställningar i synnerhet. Kritiken påpekar att anställningssäkerheten minskas av visstidsanställningar. Efter det radas metod, syfThis paper first observes the historical background of the conflict surrounding fixed-term employment contracts and the legal history of the matter, focusing especially on the formal types of employment. Following that the critisism leveled at fixed-term contracts by trade unions is noted. The criticism concerns fixed-term contracts in general, and zero-hour contracts in particular. It is pointed

Under metoo-hösten år 2017 publicerade pressen namn på flera kända män som blivit anklagade för olika typer av sexualbrott. En av dessa män var stjärnjournalisten Fredrik Virtanen som från en dag till en annan pekades ut som våldtäktsman i Sveriges största tidningar. Pressen publicerade namn och detaljer om anklagelserna, trots att anklagelserna grundades på bristfällig bevisning. Hur kunde detta

Cambodia’s ruling elite has now remained in power for over 30 years. Today, many scholars believe that this could be attributed to a set of complex and context-specific patron-client relations that intertwines to form the patronage structures that underpin the political system. However, despite this, the specific dynamics of Cambodia’s patronage structures are still considered underexplored. Here,
