Det saknas, så vitt vi vet, information om hur barn upplever svåra situationer i vardagen, och framförallt hur de upplever känslor som skam och skuld när de har en förälder med långvarig smärta. Dessutom finns det i Sverige inte någon insats inriktad på barnen under dessa förhållanden. Syftet med denna uppsats är att beskriva barnens upplevelse av skam och skuld av att leva med en långvarigt smärtThere is a lack, as far as we know, of information about how children experience difficult situations in everyday life and most importantly how they experience emotions such as shame and guilt when they have a parent with chronic pain. Moreover, in Sweden there is no effort focused on the children in these circumstances. The purpose of this study is to describe the children's experience of sha
The purpose of this thesis was to explore gender norms, beauty ideals and social practices and the way these become ‘visible’ on the Japanese female body as (re)producing the ideal Japanese femininity and skin color in particular. In order to achieve that, I investigate and identify these norms, the mechanisms that implement them on the body and the attitudes and expression of resistance against t
The concept of sustainable development has repeatedly been criticized for being vague. Scholars have all but agreed to disagree on a possible definition. This study constitutes an attempt to define the concept of environmental sustainability. The main objective is that present-day ambiguity and vagueness of the concept is turned into an intelligible communication and constructive discussion (jfr S

One of the biggest question in physics is to investigate the early universe or big bang. 10 µs after big bang, there existed a phase of transition called QGP (Quark Gluon Plasma). In this phase of transition quarks and gluon were free from each other. In normal life neutron and proton consist of three quarks with exchanging gluons. To simulate QGP scientists has built the large accelerator at CERN
This thesis offers a study on how well the standard GARCH(1,1) model, the GJR-GARCH(1,1) model and the QGARCH(1,1) model, were able to model (in-sample) and forecast (out-of-sample) the volatility of copper spot price returns in four equally large subsamples within the period July 21, 1993 to 22 Mars, 2012. The results shows that the GARCH models' ability to model the conditional variance (in-
När maten blir en risk: Om smittskydd och ansvar inom äldreomsor gen Livsmedelsburna sjukdomar förekommer över hela världen och kan orsaka sjukdom hos alla människor.
