Oxytocin (OT) is a small neuropeptide, which is present in human plasma at extremely low endogenous levels of only a few pg/ml. It is mainly involved during labour and lactation but it has recently also been found that OT is involved in social behaviours like bonding and feeling empathy. During the last couple of years, the interest in OT has been raised and due to the matrix complexity, it is ver
The direct involvement of S100 calcium-binding proteins A8 (S100A8) and A9 (S100A9) in numerous human diseases have been discovered more than 20 years ago, and they have ever since emerged as a very potent biomarker. Increased levels of S100A8 and S100A9 have been found in inflammation and various cancers. As complexes, they become crucial danger signals and act as endogenous activators of TLR4 (T
Even though human rights and human rights education are generally viewed as something worth achieving, unfortunately the extent of which human rights is implemented in education in the Swedish school system is a poorly researched area. This study sets out to change that and to discover the ideas and reflections upon human rights as a subject of four pre-service upper secondary school social scienc
Normalt åldrande kan innebära att den äldre människan drabbas av ohälsa som kan leda till minskat välbefinnande. Djur kan ha ett vårdande syfte och används på följande sätt: Animal-assisted activity (AAA), animal-assisted therapy (AAT), animal-assisted intervention (AAI). Studiens syfte var att beskriva hur interaktion med djur kan användas som en omvårdnadsåtgärd för att den äldre människan inom

The ecological footprint of Denmark has been rising since (and likely even before) 1961, which signifies an unsustainable living by the Danish population. Global footprint reports show Denmark as one of many countries on earth which has exceeded its biocapacity (BC), which means natural resource consumption in Denmark is faster than the land’s regenerative capacity. The residents of Denmark are co
It is well-known that long memory and regime switching in the first moment of a stochastic process are easily confused. But the relation between long memory in the second moment and regime switching in the second moment is less well understood. We perform a simulation study in which we assess the possibility to distinguish the two properties in the case that data with long memory in the second mom
The purpose of this thesis is to explicate different strategies that states can, and do, use to negotiate with challenging partners in conflict situations. A challenging partner, as defined in this thesis, refers to a key player in minority position who is blocking negotiations from reaching consensus agreements. A theoretical model containing five different strategies is developed using theories
This thesis addresses the highly topical subject of global income inequality within the developed economies. A constructive analysis approach inspired by Swedish political scientists Bo Rothstein, Lennart Lundquist and Björn Badersten is employed analyze the economics blockbuster Capital in the Twenty-First Century by French economist Thomas Piketty. Empirical, normative and constructive theories
Bakgrund: Användning av tröstnapp är ett omtvistat och väl omdiskuterat ämne. Barn som vårdas på sjukhus utsätts för procedurer och undersökningar som inte sällan kan upplevas som obehagliga och smärtsamma. Det sjuka barnet orkar inte alltid äta/amma helt och har kanske inte heller tillgång till sin mamma dygnets samtliga timmar. Även det förtidigt födda barnet gynnas av tröstnappen och fördelarna
Uppsatsen fokuserar på Bangladesh, ett land vars välfärd bygger på klädindustrins import och export. Uppsatsen önskar belysa hur barnarbete påverkar barnen, både deras vardag och framtid. Travis Hirschis teori om sociala band är relevant eftersom den bland annat pekar ut "legitima aktiviteter" såsom arbete eller skola som brottspreventivt. Mitt syfte är att utreda vad som talar för och v
Den inre strukturen och vävnaden hos ben ger information om livsstil hos nutida och utdöda djur. Mosasaurier (familj Mosasauridae) är en grupp sekundärt anpassade marina reptiler som utvecklades och spred sig under sen krita, vilket resulterade i en kropp väl anpassad för marina miljöer. Marina anpassningar hos den här gruppen kan observeras på olika nivåer i skelettanatomin, exempelvis mikrostrukThe inner bone architecture and histology provide information about life history traits of extant as well as extinct animals. Mosasaurs (family Mosasauridae) are a group of secondarily adapted marine squamates that radiated in the Late Cretaceous, resulting in the evolution of a body plan adapted for pelagic habitats. Specialisa-tions in this group can be observed at different levels of skeletal a
The purpose of this paper is to critically examine documents setting down standards for EU asylum policies, in order to see if the power structures and actions called for therein can give a hint as to why declared human rights goals are not fully accomplished by the EU and its member states when implementing the policies. Methodologically this research is done by carrying out a Critical Discourse
Denna studie undersöker tillståndsprocessen för stora landbaserade vindkraftverk i Sverige. För att bygga en gruppstation med fler än sju vindkraftverk som är högre än 120 meter eller enstaka verk högre än 150 meter krävs tillstånd från Länsstyrelsen. Tillståndsansökningar till Länsstyrelsen kräver att den kommun där vindkraftverken ska placeras ger sin tillstyrkan enligt 16 kap. 4 § i Miljöbalken
