In this study a prospective design was used to investigate the interaction between baseline trait anxiety and exposure to traumatic situations on post-trauma symptoms of anxiety and insomnia in a sample of Swedish peacekeeping soldiers serving in Kosovo. The result showed that pre-trauma trait anxiety interacted with exposure to traumatic situations predicting a higher post-trauma distress. Furthe
Denna uppsats utgår från premissen att barns rätt till integritet är en del av barns rätt till deltagande online. Barnrättslagstiftning presenterar i sig ett di-lemma som rör barns rätt till delaktighet och skydd, där en rättighetsbaserad strategi anses vara det mest effektiva sättet att ta itu med dilemmat. En rättig-hetsbaserad strategi förespråkar en balans mellan barns behov av skydd online ocThis thesis starts from the premise that children’s right to privacy is a part and parcel for children’s right to participation online. Children’s rights law inher-ently presents a dilemma relating to children’s right to participation and protec-tion, where a rights-based approached is considered the most effective way to address the dilemma. A rights-based approach is legal framework that can bal
In yet another alarming development in Syria, the waters of the Euphrates River have declined to critically low levels in 2021. The unprecedented low water levels of the Euphrates put nearly 5.5 million Syrians at risk as they depend on the Euphrates basin for drinking water and agricultural production. This study examines the phenomenon of water shortages in the Euphrates River whilst utilising t
Supported lipid bilayers are a popular in situ artificial bilayer model where a lipid solution is deposited on a surface. Usually the supported lipid bilayers consist of only 2-3 lipids and the problem with that is that they do not represent the biological membrane very well. In this project Pichia pastoris lipids were used to form supported lipid bilayers at different pH, temperature and differen
Changing environmental conditions can generate physiological stress in birds, which subsequently can lead to the development of an altered diet. In addition to their energetic properties, dietary fatty acids (FAs) have been linked to several important physiological processes in birds, but still the knowledge of their effect on avian ecology is limited. In this study, I examine the fatty acid compo
This thesis seeks to reveal the relationship of language and content in a Moroccan short story. These relationships are defined as such by pointing out single linguistic elements in the story’s language which reproduce a certain component of the story’s content. The main question hereby asks for the effect of the author’s language on the message itself – for, as the carrier of information, languag
The exemptions for certain activities in the public interest of art.132(1) of the VAT Directive are confined to those supplies of goods and services carried out by bodies governed by public law. Article 133 of the Directive enables the Member States to grant to bodies other than those governed by public law, in accordance with certain conditions, the exemption of those transactions related to hosp
With the eruption of the sovereign debt crisis, a huge threat and disaster had been brought to the European Union, the member states and the entire euro zone. The ongoing financial crisis has made it very difficult or even impossible for some member states within the euro zone to re-finance the government debt without the third party’s assistance. Greece being one of those states is experiencing t
Creativity has been of research interest for centuries and its relationship with other constructs has been established; however, these links mostly study creativity with a single other construct. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between psychological safety, tolerance of ambiguity, playfulness and creativity; they have been individually linked together but no complex m
Outdoor climate has considerable impact on the indoor climate and it is therefore important to adapt the buildings to the climate. This thesis shows how to improve indoor climate in a climate which it is hot, dry in the summer and cold in the winter. My investigative unit is a middle class house in the town Baalbek in Lebanon and the purpose of the study is to come up with proposals on possible so
Leaving a sustainable society for our children is considered an arbitrary goal for the environmental work that is currently taking place in Sweden. Today, 140 million tonnes of non-hazardous waste is generated in Sweden, which is unsustainable. 31% of the non-hazardous waste is traced to the construction industry, the mining industry excluded. Today, the waste is an unused resource that is purchas
In the last decade, news reports about an overall doomed brick-and-mortar retail landscape have grown. The field of commerce has experienced a digital boom, causing an increased shift of businesses from traditional brick-and-mortar retail to the internet. This structural transformation is changing the commercial landscape, putting serious pressure on city centre retail and urban development. Store
In the central Himalayas, water dynamics are expected to change due to multiple factors like climate change, hydro power development and shifting land use practices. This thesis looks at possible changes in water dynamics in Marsyandi river basin, Nepal, as well as causes to those changes and how they are perceived locally. Grounded in critical physical geography, the study uses mixed methods an
This is a thesis project, analysing data from high-resolution imaging observations, specifically speckle imaging, as a follow up study of exoplanet host stars observed with K2, the second operational phase of the space telescope Kepler. The project was accomplished at NASA Ames research center under the guidance of Rachel A. Matson, during an internship in collaboration with the Swedish National S
Introduction: The prevalence of overweight and obesity in children and adolescents continues to rise, and there is a lack of long-term follow-up to clarify health and well-being trajectories into adolescence and adulthood. This study investigated anthropometry and quality of life (QoL) trajectories in 7-14-year-old vulnerable children three years after attending a lifestyle camp. Methods: Vulnerab
This paper examines a few of the fundamental principles in traditional and modern crisis analysis based on models of liquidity risk and moral hazard. The greatest emphasis in placed on moral hazard as it is concluded that this aspect was a central dilemma to the onset of the crisis in Thailand. The theory is analyzed through a Minskian fragility hypothesis and taken further with the Foley model as
The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is of great interest to me for many reasons; particularly, I want to stress the Palestinian Christian’s position in the current situation. The Palestinian Christians belong to several denominations, of which I have chosen to focus on two minority churches: the Lutheran and the Anglican. My intention is to find if, and how, the situation affects the liturgy of these
