Syftet med denna uppsats har varit att utvärdera effekten av korttidsfamiljebehandling med fokus på förändringar i familjens känslomässiga klimat och förändringar av symtom hos det barn som är identifierad patient. Arbetet utgick från frågorna: Hur förändras upplevelsen hos de olika familjemedlemmarna avseende familjens känslomässiga klimat? Upplever barnet en symtomminskning? Upplever föräldrarnaThe purpose of this paper was to evaluate the effect of a short-term family treatment regarding changes in the family's emotional climate and changes in the symptoms of the child. The work was based on the questions: How does family members experience the family's emotional climate? Does the child experience a decrease in symptoms? Do the parents experience a decrease in the symptoms of th

Lojalitet är en viktig beståndsdel i alla komplexare IT-outsourcingprojekt. I ett outsourcingförhållande där parterna inte agerar lojalt mot varandra kan relationen dem emellan störas vilket i sin tur kan leda till stora kostnader. Vested är en amerikansk modell för bl.a. komplexare outsourcingförfaranden i vilken lojaliteten mellan parterna särskilt betonas. Vested-modellen är ännu relativt oanväLoyalty is an important feature in a complex IT-outsourcing, without it the relationship will deteriorate eventually resulting in economic loss for both parties. Vested is an American loyalty centered cooperation model designed to be applied on complex outsourcing procedures. Vested is still relatively unknown in Sweden today, but the model can be predicted to surge in popularity in the future. T

Denna kvalitativa studie har haft som syfte att förstå hur den globala kampanjen #metoo har påverkat intervjupersonerna och deras inställning till sexuella övergrepp. Avsikten med #metoo har varit att uppmärksamma omfattningen av kvinnors utsatthet för sexuella övergrepp. Tidigare undersökningar och statistik visar på ett stort mörkertal när det kommer till offer för sexuella övergrepp och det är

The purpose of this study was to examine narratives from people who went from the assigned gender boy or girl, to the opposite binary gender identity, concerning differences in treatment from others, before and after a transition. Data were collected through a survey administered online, a total of fourteen questions about how their emotions were met before and after the transition. Questions were

IMPORTANCE: Chronic breathlessness is common in people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Regular, low-dose, extended-release morphine may relieve breathlessness, but evidence about its efficacy and dosing is needed.OBJECTIVE: To determine the effect of different doses of extended-release morphine on worst breathlessness in people with COPD after 1 week of treatment.DESIGN, SETTING

BACKGROUND: Guidelines recommend measuring blood pressure (BP) in both arms, adopting the higher arm readings for diagnosis and management. Data to support this recommendation are lacking. We evaluated associations of higher and lower arm systolic BPs with diagnostic and treatment thresholds, and prognosis in hypertension, using data from the Inter-arm Blood Pressure Difference - Individual Partic

Background: Mycotoxins have been suggested to contribute to a spectrum of adverse health effects in humans, including at low concentrations. The recognition of these food contaminants being carcinogenic, as co-occurring rather than as singularly present, has emerged from recent research. The aim of this study was to assess the potential associations of single and multiple mycotoxin exposures with

BACKGROUND: As mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is typically used to identify prodromal stages of dementia, it is essential to identify MCI criteria with high diagnostic stability and prediction of dementia. Moreover, further investigation into pinpointing key factors for reversion is required to foresee future prognosis of MCI patients accurately.OBJECTIVE: To explore disparities in diagnostic sta

Background: Over the past decade, the use of organophosphate insecticides including chlorpyrifos has faced increasing restrictions due to health concerns, leading to a rise in use of pyrethroids. Concerns about neurodevelopmental insults following pyrethroids exposure exist, but few studies have examined the long-term effects of childhood exposure to chlorpyrifos and pyrethroids on IQ. Objective:

Haemolysis occurring during cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is assumed to be a risk factor for postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI). Plasma alpha-1 microglobulin (A1M) may have a protective role as haem scavenger. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between AKI and the degree of haemolysis and the course of A1M concentrations during cardiac surgery, respectiv

Since life emerged on Earth, organisms have had to handle threats and stressors of different kinds. In freshwater ecosystems, one of these ancient stressors is the solar ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Life has been continuously exposed to it, and various behavioural and morphological adaptations have evolved to cope with the stressor. On the other hand, human activities have introduced novel stressor
