Depression, ångest och stress är närliggande former av psykisk ohälsa som ofta uppvisar betydande symtomatisk överlappning. Föreliggande studie undersökte hur enskilda frågor inom självskattningsinstrumenten PHQ-9, GAD-7 och PSS-10 relaterade till respektive skala samt till varandra bland universitetsstudenter, med fokus på vilka frågor som framstod som mest centrala och indikativa för variation iDepression, anxiety, and stress are closely related forms of psychological distress that often exhibit substantial symptomatic overlap. The present study examined how individual items within the self-report instruments PHQ-9, GAD7, and PSS-10 were related to their respective scales as well as to each other among university students, with a focus on which items appeared most central and indicative

The central area of Stenshuvud national park in southern Sweden was surveyed regarding the lichen species composition and distribution. Similar qualitative investigations of the area have been carried out in the years 1934 and 1987, although this survey further included a quantitative survey of relative frequency per species to enable more accurate monitoring in the future. Together, the three s

In biological observation of small flying animals, structured light methods can be used in order to make high frequency, no contact measurements in flight. Using a laser pointer that projects a 5625 point mesh pattern, as well as two high-speed cameras, three different methods for estimating the shape of 3D objects have been developed and evaluated. The cameras were calibrated, as well as the lase

The construction sector is undergoing substantial growth and there are many challenges to address. One challenge is building defects, which affect the structural integrity and put the structure at risk. A common and intrusive building defect is moisture, which can slowly expand and lead to complicated defect detection. Moisture intrusion can cause many issues in the structure of the building and p

Insect pollinators provide an essential ecosystem service, but recently declines in pollinator groups have been reported. Urban areas are expanding rapidly world-wide and have been suggested to be a major cause behind insect declines, but the effect of urbanization on pollinators is still inconclusive. In this study, the number of flower-visitors on the plant species peached-leaved bellflower and

In Stockholm, Sweden commuters are spending 17 working days a year stuck in traffic, polluting our climate and wasting their time. Commute by train could be a great replacement if the connections to the stations were not lacking. By adding the adult kick bike Pendla to the train you will be more flexible, healthy and eco friendly. The kick bike is foldable and free to bring on the train. My produc

Människor spenderar mycket tid inomhus, närmre 90 % av sin livstid. För att erhålla ett bra inneklimat med god luftkvalité krävs att byggnader ventileras. Därför utrustas de ofta med mekaniska ventilationssystem. Trots detta är SBS (Sick Building Syndrome) ett allvarligt problem. Orsaken till att vissa byggnader blir ”sjuka” tros bero på bland annat dålig ventilation. För att avgöra om ett ventilaPeople spend a lot of time indoors, closer to 90% of their lifetime. To obtain a good indoor climate with good air quality buildings need to be ventilated. Therefore, they are often equipped with mechanical ventilation systems. Nevertheless, SBS (Sick Building Syndrome) is a serious problem. The reason that some buildings become "sick" is believed to be due to, among other things, poor v

Consumers’ knowledge that unsustainable consumption has a negative effect on the environment does not hinder their engagement in unsustainable consumption patterns. Applying system justification theory, it was of interest to investigate its impact on Swedish citizens’ attitudes and behaviours related to sustainable consumption. This study intended to discover why Swedish consumers do not always en

All viruses are composed of both genetic material and a capsid. The capsid is composed by identical protein subunits and the purpose is protection of the genetic material, in this case RNA. This project is about cowpea chlorotic mottle virus, also called CCMV, which is a plant virus and the disassembly and reassembly mechanisms of the capsid are investigated to understand how the capsid proteins a

The aim of this study was to investigate how gender norms are represented in formal court decisions regarding the taking into compulsory care of young persons according to 3§ LVU (Care of Young Persons Special Provisions Act). The empirical material consisted of 30 court cases, whereof 15 cases concerned girls and 15 concerned boys. The method used was a qualitative content analysis. This method f

Bakgrund: Arbetsterapeuter och deras arbete i skolor i Sverige efterfrågas mer och mer men kunskapen kring hur arbetet upplevs och beskrivs är ett förhållandevis outforskat område. Syfte: Syftet med studien var att beskriva arbetsterapeuters arbete i skola samt hur detta upplevdes av arbetsterapeuter och andra yrkesverksamma i skola. Metod: Studien var en kvalitativ tvärsnittsstudie. Nio semistruBackground: Occupational therapists and their work in schools are being inquired for more and more in Sweden but the knowledge around how their work are perceived and described are a relatively unexplored area. Aim: The aim of the study was to describe the work of occupational therapists in school, as well how this is experienced by occupational therapists and other professions in schools. Method:

This thesis is based on my interpretation of three particular visual examples that were created in relation to the racial tensions that were occurring at the time of their production. My visual examples are (1) the 2016 campaign advert commissioned by Operation Black vote (2) The music video I’m not Racist by the American rapper Joyner Lucas relaesed in 2017 (3) Sir Davey’s Proclamation Board to t

The study was carried out to identify critical factors for processed fruit shelf life in Tetra Recart packages. To investigate the importance of package volume and headspace volume, vitamin C was chosen to be the indicator. Oxygen in headspace, headspace volume, dissolved oxygen in product, oxygen transmission rate (OTR) and the concentration of vitamin C along storage time were measured to unders

Introduction: There are major limitations in the current methods for screening and diagnosis of prostate cancer. In this project, the implementation of new tests has been researched. The assessed tests in the screening phase are the 4Kscore, Prostate Health Index (PHI), Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Prostarix. The assessed tests for use after a negative biopsy are Prostate Cancer gen 3 (PCA

The World Heritage Site the Vredefort Dome in South Africa is an area that is continuously exposed to the dangers of veldfires. In this study it was investigated how risk communication is used to raise public awareness about safe fire use, fire hazards, and veldfires. To what extent the community is reached by the communication and their level of knowledge about fire hazards and risks was also stu

In this paper, the viability of integrating solar power with an already running wind power plant is examined. The study, conducted in cooperation with Eolus, takes place in Anneberg, Sweden, home to three wind turbines with a combined capacity of 10.8 MW. This study examines whether or not it would be profitable to integrate an additional intermittent power source to the wind power plant’s existin

In the Iron Age AD, ringforts were constructed on the Swedish island Öland. Most of them contained a settlement inside. The remains of 15 of these ringforts are still preserved in the landscape. This thesis gives a general overview of the known and the possible Ölandic ringforts and their historical and constructional context, before analysing and comparing the settlements inside the ringforts Eke

In response to the pressing need to address climate change and reduce global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, this study implemented Gaussian Mixture Models Clustering to detect the levels of GHG emissions and related socio-economic factors in 174 countries. To handle the panel data, Principal Component Analysis was conducted to achieve dimension reduction. Based on the algorithm, countries were gr
