This thesis intends to analyse conditions for a successful implementation of consociational democracy, as a democratic model in Afghanistan. The lack of critical reviews regarding the democratisation-process in Afghanistan initiated the purpose of this study.Lijpharts democracy model was used as the basis in the comparative study. Along with empirical evidence regarding how the complex process of democracy in Afghanistan is progressing, the study investigated whether the identified conditions occurred or not.The choice of which democracy model to use can be crucial for the democratic possibilities to even survive and become established in conflict-affected communities. The principle of consociational democracy is that it is an empirically based normative model that aims to organise the state in a way that works against the risks of majority domination and oppression against the minority.The empirical case study revealed that a majority of the conditions were not met, which then can counteract the possibilities for consociational democracy in Afghanistan. The study has critically examined the prospects for the success of consociational democracy in Afghanistan, and it can be assessed that there is a limited probability for a successful applying of this model..

IT is a natural part of the work today when it comes to projects. There are many aspects that are wholly or partly dependent on IT support actions to proceed efficiently. Although there is still situations where IT is deselected as a tool. The factors that make it look like this is not always included in the calculation, which resulted in the failure that could have been remedied with the right tools to solve the problems. The project form which today is increasingly common with all major groups involved enables IT tools' impact also becomes an increasingly provided they are used properly.

Varje år i Sverige sker ca 24 000 skallskador på grund av yttre trauma och 30 000 strokeskador. Ett betydande antal får sekundära skador på grund av den ökade vattenhalten kring den skadade hjärnvävnaden. Föreslagen metod är att inducera vattenflöde från skadad till frisk vävnad baserat på teorin om elektroosmotiskt flöde. Teorin bakom elektroosmotiskt flöde är att ett flöde induceras då en spänning läggs över ett medium. Elektroosmotiskt flöde tillämpas i industrin och kallas då electro-osmotic dewatering (EOD).

This study is qualitative and will show what?s causing anxiety in a class. Further it will describe how teacher?s act and how they handle when anxiety becomes a problem in the education. How can one as a teacher handle and act in to these disturbing situations? The children, who are anxious, take important time from those students who really need help in their learning.

This is a sociological jurisprudence study which focuses on "child perspective" in Law of Support and Service with Certain Functional Impairments, LSS. The purpose of the study was to clarify the meaning of child perspective in LSS and analyze it in relation to practice. The study was conducted with mixed strategies combining qualitative and jurisprudential methods. Both LSS and Law of Social Welfare, SoL, were studied. Social workers from dirrerent muncipalities in Sweden were interwiewed.

Bakgrund: Smärta är ett vanligt problem hos intensivvårdspatienter till följd av kirurgi, trauma, invasiva procedurer och omvårdnadsåtgärder. Sjuksköterskan har ett viktigt ansvar att bedöma smärta och utvärdera smärtbehandling. Bedömningen försvåras av att många patienter har svårt att kommunicera för att de är intuberade, trakeostomerade, sederade, medvetandesänkta och/eller kognitivt påverkade. Flera bedömningsinstrument och publicerade rekommendationer finns tillgängliga, ändå visar tidigare studier på brister i sjuksköterskors bedömning och dokumentation av smärta samt utvärdering av smärtbehandling. Syfte: Att undersöka intensivvårdssjuksköterskors uppfattning om bedömning av smärta hos patienter med kommunikationssvårigheter.

This thesis highlights the complex relationship between social movements and the mass media. The new social movements really have to struggle to get access to the media sphere, often enforced to use spectacular media strategies, and at the same time maintain their political messages. This struggle gives us reason to question the liberal notion of the media as a neutral arena for political communication and debate. In fact we argue that the media industry should be seen as a powerful actor and that the mass media serves to maintain and enforce an ideology that serves the political and economic elites in the liberal capitalist democracy. The Social movements that seek to question these elites and present an alternative, as they did during the EU-meeting in Gothenburg 2001, quite clearly gets far from neutral media image of the political actions taking place instead the are portrayed as violent or associated with violence and not presented as legitimate or believable political subjects..

Syftet med studien var att beskriva självskadebeteende hos ungdomar i åldrarna 13-18 år, samt vad sjuksköterskan kan uppmärksamma för att bemöta ungdomarna på ett professionellt tillvägagångssätt. Syftet var även att granska kvalitén av datainsamlingsmetoden hos de inkluderade artiklarna. Metoden var en deskriptiv litteraturstudie med artiklar publicerade mellan år 2009 och 2014. Resultatet till föreliggande studie baserades på 15 artiklar, både kvalitativa och kvantitativa. Artiklarna söktes i databaserna PubMed och Cinahl.

Tarmstomi är en kirurgiskt skapad öppning till tarmen, där mynningen sys fast på utsidan av buken. Antalet personer som lever med en stomi i Sverige idag uppskattas till cirka 20 000. De vanligaste orsakerna till att en tarmstomi anläggs är tumörsjukdom, inflammatorisk tarmsjukdom eller trauma. Att ha en stomipåse på utsidan av buken innebär att kroppen förändras till utseende och funktion, vilket kan påverka livskvaliteten. Syftet med denna uppsats var att belysa hur personers dagliga liv och livskvalitet påverkas av att leva med en stomi.

Many homeless and private owned cats are relinquished to cat shelters. Shelters are often a very stressful place for cats and their welfare may be endangered. Today it is common that cats are housed in groups at cat shelters and there are some perceived problems in housing cats in groups. The social structure of the cat is very complex and although cats are basically solitary they can be kept in groups under the right conditions. The aim of this study was to investigate how cats in groups interact with each other at a cat shelter.

Computational thinking was brought to the forefront in 2006 by Jeannette Wing. Computational thinking is a problem solving method that uses computer science techniques.The thesis is analyzing computational thinking and how it could be applied to graph theory. Characteristics and main fields from computational thinking is being analysed. This analysis is applied to graph theory to see the potential in developing a proposal for how an exercise can look for an introductory course in discrete data types. Only basic knowledge of graphs is required to perform the exercise.

The purpose of this randomized controlled study was to investigate the effect of internet- administered guided self-help for women suffering from psychological problems following traumatic childbirth. The eight-week treatment program consisted of written chapters based on cognitive behavioral therapy. 56 participants were randomly assigned to a treatment group (n = 28) or a waiting list group (n = 28).The results showed that post-traumatic symptoms decreased as a result of the treatment, with large within-group effects measured by both the Traumatic Event Scale (TES) (d = 1.33) and the Impact of Event Scale-Revised (IES-R) (d = 1.3). The difference between the groups was only significant when measured by the IES-R in which case the between-group effect was large (d = 0.97). The proportion of the participants who showed clinically significant improvement was considerably greater in the treatment group than in the waiting list group.

The purpose of this thesis is to find out how clients at Effect Reklambyrå (an advertising agency) view the communication and relationship with Effect. Conclusions are then drawn based on what the clients say. The conclusions show how Effect can improve in these areas.The study uses a qualitative research method since the phenomenon studied is complex and requires deep understanding. A total of 16 interviews took place. Seven clients were interviewed by phone and nine clients participated in a personal interview face-to-face.

Dagens industrirobotar är mycket mer komplexa än vad de var för några år sedan. Regleringen baseras på matematiska modeller och för att prestandan ska var lika bra eller bättre än förr krävs det att modellerna är anpassade till individen. Det krävs därför att modellparametrarna justeras för att stämma överens med den aktuella roboten.Rapporten handlar om hur de flexibla modellparametrarna ska trimmas för robotens leder så att verktygets svängningar minskar. På grund av att en rörelse på en axel påverkar de övriga axlarna, blir detta ett sexdimensionellt minimeringsproblem. Detta kan dock lösas genom att låsa vissa leder i olika positioner och på så sätt delas minimeringen upp i flera steg med som mest tre variabler att minimera över.

Allmänläkare i primärvården är den första vårdgivare som människor i behov av psykisk hjälp möter. Det saknas forskning om behandling av psykiskt sjuka inom primärvården i enskilda länder. I syfte att hitta nya frågeställningar och få djupare förståelse av hur primärvården fungerar med avseende på psykiskt sjuka intervjuades elva allmänläkare i en kroatisk stad. Insamlade data från intervjuerna strukturerades och bearbetades genom en induktiv tematisk analys. Resultaten visar att allmänläkare upplever en hög arbetsbelastning.
