There are spatial elements and factors in every social activity. Physical environment in particular and its characteristics has a significant effect in the social decisions and outcomes of a location and of the residents of disadvantaged areas. These spatial elements and factors have been the main focus in many researches and studies about young people’s socio-economic statuses and achievements. T
Människans bröd, fiskens död? Metaller förekommer naturligt i berggrund, jord och vatten. Varje ny metall som upptäckts har medfört nya möjligheter för människan och samhället. Mänsklig aktivitet medför att metaller som länge varit bundna till mineral får en ökad mobilitet. Metallhalten har därför ökat på vissa platser, särskilt vid industrier, vilket medför en ökning av metaller i våra kretsloppThere are around 80, 000 polluted areas in Sweden, of which 1, 000 are classified as very high-risk areas and in need of decontamination. From the Gullspångs Elektrokemiska Fabrik AB in Sweden there is a great risk of metals, aliphatic and molybdenum spreading to the Gullspångs River. The river is a Natura 2000-area and in the river the so called Gullspång salmon is found, which is protected. Her
Denna studiens syfte var att undersöka och försöka precisera vad för specifika egenskaper och förmågor hos en psykoterapeut som forskare och teoretiker hitintills har beskrivit vara eftersträvansvärda för att kunna ge en god terapeutisk effekt i psykoterapeutiska behandlingar. Syftet var också att i möjligaste mån skapa en tydlig översiktlig kartläggning och sammanfattning genom att samla ihop mycThe aim of this study was to investigate and try to specify what specific characteristics and abilities of a psychotherapist that researchers and theorists have so far described to be desirable in order to provide a good therapeutic effect in psychotherapeutic treatments.

The project emerged from a fascination of light and darkness. With developing technologies and more knowledge about the health aspects of light and darkness, the field of lighting is becoming more elaborate. Jun'ichirō Tanizaki once said “we find beauty not in the thing itself but in the patterns of shadows, the light and the darkness, that one thing against another creates”. I could not agr

År 2015 samlades världens ledare och antog 17 globala hållbarhetsmål för att bidra till en social, ekonomisk och miljömässigt hållbar utveckling. De 17 globala hållbarhetsmålen utgör Agenda 2030 och ansvaret för genomförandet av agendan vilar på medlemsländernas regeringar. För att uppnå agendan måste alla sektorer engagera sig. Det innebär att kommunal räddningstjänst som är en del av den kommunaThe importance of sustainability is constantly increasing in today’s society and 2015 the United Nations adopted 17 global sustainable development goals (SDGs), summarized as the “2030 Agenda”. To achieve the 2030 Agenda all sectors must become involved which means that the Fire and Rescue Services (FRS) must contribute to this sustainability work. It is therefore important to map how the Swedish

Abstract Aim: The purpose of this research is to investigate cultural differences in the perception of brand image when portraying gay lifestyle in advertising in Sweden and Spain. Approach: This study is based on a qualitative approach. One round of focus groups has been conducted, with one group of Spanish participants and one group of Swedish participants. The insights of each group have been
Bakgrund: Klientcentrering är centralt både inom arbetsterapi och andra professioner inom hälso- och sjukvård. Inom Barn- och ungdomshabiliteringen samt Vuxenhabiliteringen finns det ärenden med klienter där klientcentreringen kan kompliceras av att klienten är i behov av en sekundär person som hjälper till med kommunikation och delaktighet. Det saknas studier på hur arbetsterapeuter arbetar klienBackground: Client-centered care is significant in both occupational therapy and other professions within healthcare. Client-centered care can become complicated in errands within pediatric and adult habilitation services when the client is in the need of a secondary person to enable communication. Studies are scarce on how occupational therapists work client-centered in these errands. Aim: The st
In this study, I have researched how a teacher at an upper secondary school in Sweden teaches critical theory to her students. The questions that were the base for this study included: how the teacher taught critical theory to her students and which theories they use, as well as how they use it and if the teacher includes critical theory when she plans her lessons. There are a lot of previous rese
The following paper examines discussions of feminism online and how participants orientate themselves in these. The specific case consists of a swedish separatist Facebook group for women and non-binary people. The group has over 100000 members and has a constant flow of activity where members interact with each other in different ways. Among this activity there is discussions of feminism, often l
The thesis aims to understand if seed saving practiced by oppressed small-scale farmers and peasants who are affiliated with Navdanya can be seen as a technology of resistance against the dominant agri-food industrial paradigm. Another aim is to find out how political and cultural meanings are attached to seed saving. It also aims to challenge this aforementioned paradigm. The inquiry is exemplifi

The theoretical data was collecte
En sedimentsekvens från Kap Farvel området på Sydgrönland undersöktes med avseende på polleninnehåll, magnetisk suseptibilitet och organisk halt. Sedimentens ålder bestämdes med 14C-dateringar, vilka visade att sedimentationen i sjön började kort tid före 12 300 cal B.P. och därmed inkluderar övergången Yngre Dryas till Preboreal. Syftet med studien är att studera övergången från den förmodat kallA sedimentary sequence from a small lake situated on Taterakasik peninsula in the Kap Farvel area, South Greenland, was investigated with respect to pollen and other microfossil content, as well as loss-on-ignition and magnetic susceptibility values. The 14C dates suggest that the sedimentation started shortly before 12 300 cal yrs. BP. and thus cover the transition from the supposedly cold Younge
Bergmaterialindustrin i Sverige befinner sig just nu i en omstruktureringsfas då nya regler starkt begränsar möjligheten att använda sig av naturgrus för så väl bygg- och anläggningsändamål som för betongindustrin. Detta har även lett till att teknikutvecklingen stävar mot en övergång mot krossat berg, och inte sällan har det lett till bergmaterial med egenskaper som överträffar dem för naturgrus.The Swedish rock-mass industry is currently in a transition period because new rules and regulations strongly limit the possibility to use naturally sorted aggregates for construction and concrete purposes. Furthermore, research and development within the industry is more oriented towards crushed bedrock aggregates. Whilst the crystalline bedrock of Scandinavia mostly consists of Precambrian gneis
This paper argues that expected utility theory for actions in chancy environments should be formulated in terms of centered chances. The subjective expected utility of an option A may be seen as a weighted sum of the utilities of A in different possible worlds, with weights being the credences that the agent assigns to these worlds. The utility of A in a given world is then definable as a weighted
Glioblastoma multiforme is the most common and aggressive malignant brain tumor in humans, and the prognosis is very poor despite conventional therapy. Immunotherapy represents a novel treatment approach, but the effect is often weakened by release of immune-suppressive molecules such as prostaglandins. In the current study, we investigated the effect of immunotherapy with irradiated interferon-γ
Background: The decreasing range of joint motion caused by insufficient muscle length is a common problem in children with cerebral palsy (CP), often worsening with age. In 1994 a CP register and health care programme for children with CP was initiated in southern Sweden. The aim of this study was to analyse the development of the passive range of motion (ROM) in the lower limbs during all the gro
