Syftet med denna uppsats har varit att ur ett genusperspektiv belysa hur unga kvinnor som har eller har haft anorexi uppfattar att könsnormer har påverkat deras insjuknande och vidmakthållande av sjukdomen. Studien baserades på en kvalitativ innehållsanalys av sex självbiografier skrivna av kvinnor som har eller har haft anorexi. Självbiografierna är skrivna av kvinnor i Sverige år 2000–2019. AnalThe aim of this study was to examine and explore women's experiences of how gender norms affect the onset and duration of anorexia nervosa in young women from a gender perspective. The focus of the study was on the women’s own story of the role gender norms played in the course of their illness. The study was based on a qualitative analysis of a selection of six autobiographies written by wome

The topic of financial inclusion has attracted attention from several researchers and policymakers in the recent years. However, there has been limited number of studies in the context of Vietnam, especially to explore the factors driving financial inclusion in the country. The thesis aims to investigate the determinants of financial inclusion in Vietnam with a focus on a special group: the remitt

Vikten av resurseffektivitet i livsmedelskedjan är tydlig, eftersom denna sektor är en av de största bidragarna till negativ klimatpåverkan globalt. Målet med den här uppsatsen var att utforska sidoströmmar av mat inom livsmedelskedjan i Västra Götaland, för att kartlägga hur mycket som redan är täckt i statistiken och vilka luckor i datamaterialet som finns för framtida forskning att täcka. DessThe importance of resource efficiency in the food supply chain is clear, since this sector is one of the biggest contributors to the negative environmental impacts globally. This thesis project aimed to examine food side streams throughout the food supply chain in Västra Götaland, to map out how much has already been covered statistically and what gaps there are in the data for future research to

The objective of this study was to assess the influence of user behaviour on the Smart Grid performance and to identify possible interfaces between end-users and the energy network. In order to get an image of the electricity customers attitude to Smart Grids and energy-efficiency, a questionnaire was conducted as a first step. Afterwards, a combination of thermal building simulations and the deri

How to best organize the social services unit of individual and family care (IFO) has been in question since the 1980ies. Two principal ways of organization have been used, called integrated and specialized organization. In an integrated organization, the social secretary works with all parts of the clients' problem picture. This structure used to be the norm but is today only employed by a fe

Familj och föräldraskap är relativt vanliga begrepp i våra liv. Deras innebörd i vardagliga sammanhang är dock betydligt mer omfattande än den rättsliga definitionen. I rätten har familjeband och föräldraskap historiskt sett grundats på äktenskap och genetik; moderskapet fastställs enligt Mater est-principen och faderskap genom presumtion, bekräftelse eller dom. Europakonventionen tillförsäkrar Family and parenthood are concepts commonly used in our day-to-day life, where the purports of the two also seem to be more including in comparison to the judicial definition. In legal history family ties and parenthood were marriage-based and due to reproduction. Maternity was simply a consequence of carrying a child while paternity would, in Sweden, be established by presumption, confirmation or

Increasing nitrogen(N) deposition due to anthropogenic activities has become a significant global change threat to N-poor terrestrial ecosystems. We compared bacterial growth and nutrients limiting bacterial growth in one of the longest running experiments on increasing N-deposition to a temperate forest, the Chronic Nitrogen Amendment Study at Harvard Forest, USA. Soil samples were collected in f

BackgroundA common genetic variant (rs10993994) in the 5' region of the gene encoding β-microseminoprotein (MSP) is associated with circulating levels of MSP and prostate cancer risk. Whether MSP levels are predictive of prostate cancer risk has not been evaluated.MethodsWe investigated the prospective relationship between circulating plasma levels of MSP and prostate cancer risk in a nested case-

The possibility to study variations in the oxygen isotopic ratio with photon tagged nuclear reaction analysis (pNRA) is evaluated in the current work. The experiment described in the article was performed at Lund Ion Beam Analysis Facility (LIBAF) with a 2 MeV deuteron beam. Isotopic fractionation of light elements such as carbon, oxygen and nitrogen is the basis of many analytical tools in hydrol

A measurement of angular correlations in Drell-Yan lepton pairs via the phi(eta)* observable is presented. This variable probes the same physics as the Z/gamma* boson transverse momentum with a better experimental resolution. The Z/gamma* -> e(+)e(-) and Z/gamma* -> mu(+)mu(-) decays produced in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of root s = 7 TeV are used. The data were collected

Popular Abstract in Swedish Endokrina och metabola sjukdomstillstånd har många gemensamma komponenter. Att förstå de signalvägar som ligger till grund för dessa sjukdomar hjälper oss att utveckla bättre behandlingsmetoder. Det övergripande syftet med min forskning är att undersöka den roll s.k. G-protein kopplade receptorer spelar i endokrina metaboliska sjukdomar, mer specifikt de signalvägar somThe aims of this dissertation were to investigate the effects of extracellular purines on insulin secretion, and apoptosis in mouse pancreatic islets and β-cells; to examine if high glucose and free fatty acids induces β-cell apoptosis via autocrine effects of ADP acting on the P2Y13 receptor; and to investigate the modulation of extracellular purines in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) throug

Low bone volume and changes in bone quality or microarchitecture may predispose individuals to fragility fractures. As the dominant component of the human skeleton, cortical bone plays a key role in protecting bones from fracture. However, histological investigations of the underlying structural changes, which might predispose to fracture, have been largely limited to the cancellous bone. The aim

The aim of this study is to investigate the working conditions for the cabin crew, if they are subjected to power oppression, like harassment, and how gender-coded practitioners and gender conceptions are made as processes within the organization. We have created this study as a feminist contribution to the labor market studies, gender studies and law studies since harassment crosses all these dis

Swedish municipalities carry the main responsibility for adapting to a changing climate, but receive little guidance from regional or national authorities. A municipal climate change adaptation plan can be used to get a comprehensive look at all areas of the municipality’s activities that will be affected by climate change and to better understand the implications and how to lessen the extent of d

To further our understanding of incel aggression this current study aimed to develop a new psychometric tool for measuring the incel identity through underlying incel values and exploring the potential relationships between incel values, masculinity threat, narcissism, and violent fantasies. The incel value scale (IVS) was developed through exploratory factor analysis on a population of N = 99 men

Abstract The aim of this thesis is to discuss the tools needed to work with environmental issues in a condominium. This includes what the tenants can do to reduce their environmental impacts, and what can be expected in their voluntary work from an environmental perspective. Through a case study in the form of an environmental review of the condominium association Malmöhus 49, a model has been dev
