The aim of this study was to develop and psychometrically evaluate an instrument for measuring the impact from chronic pain on daily life. Traditionally psychometric evaluation is done with parametric methods even if the items are ordinal data. In this study the instrument to be developed is solely based on ordinal data, and the psychometrically evaluation is done with both traditional methods (i.

Problem formulation: Recent results from the European Food Information Council’s consumer research on nutrition information and food labelling revealed that most consumers have little understanding of the nutrition information found on food products, feel that there is little authority regulating these matters and wish for a more trusted source of information and regulation and lastly it was found

The purpose of this paper was to study how the death is described in some books for children and how the books may affect the readers. I chose five books where the leading character was a child who lost a close relative like a parent or a sibling. I asked the book questions like you would do at an interwiew. The main questions were: · What do the children think about the death? · How does the c

I media såväl som i mer forskningsbaserade sammanhang förs en debatt om huruvida barnen i Sverige mår sämre psykiskt idag. Denna studie närmade sig frågan utifrån aspekten självkänsla och utgick ifrån hypotesen att barns och ungdomars självkänsla hade försämrats år 2010 jämfört med år 1981-83. I studien deltog 235 pojkar och flickor från årskurs tre, fem och sju genom att fylla i självskattningsfThere is a debate going on in both media and research-based contexts concerning the mental health of children in Sweden and whether they feel worse today than they did before.

Matsvinn är ett stort globalt problem som för närvarande saknar tillräckliga politiska och lagstiftande åtgärder för att förstå och hantera problemet. Skåne län, har ambitiösa och högt satta klimatmål, där minskat kommunalt matsvinn kan vara ett sätt för att uppnå dessa mål. Jag ville bättre förstå vilken forskning som redan existerar, var forskningsbrister ligger och hur matsvinn reduceras i verkFood waste is recognized as a major global issue that currently lacks sufficient political and legislative action in order to understand or address it adequately.

This thesis explores the information-related needs and practices of Syrian refugees in Sweden as represented by six Syrians living in Scania County, Sweden, both during their journeys and after arrival in Sweden. The research adopts a qualitative approach through conducting semi-structured interviews in informal Arabic with Syrian refugees. The interviews were then thematically analyzed from the t

Support from a midwife through labour is unique for its ability to empower women to trust their own physical and mental capacities. The purpose of this thesis was to highlight the role of midwives in providing support to mothers during childbirth. In this qualitative study, ten midwives from two clinics were interviewed, and the data was collected via semi-structured, group-focused interviews. The

I denna uppsats utreds de arvsrättsliga skillnaderna mellan efterlevande make respektive sambo och problematiserar dessa utifrån ett äldrerättsligt perspektiv. Förutom att medellivslängden har ökat i Sverige så har dessutom antalet samboförhållanden sedan 1960-talet ökat. 1,5 miljoner svenskar i blandade åldrar antas idag leva som sambo. Oavsett om man valt att leva som gift eller sambo så blir reThe purpose of this thesis is to, from an elder law perspective, study the differences in inheritance law between the surviving spouse and the surviving cohabitant. Apart from the fact that the average life expectancy has increased in Sweden, the number of relationships of unmarried cohabitants has also increased since the 1960s. Approximately 1.5 million Swedish couples in miscellaneous ages are

Many university students feel that their sexual activity is either not sufficient or that it is too high. This leads to dishonesty and discomfort concerning the subject when it is discussed. This can be seen as a sign of conformity. The goal of this quantitative study was to explore a possible correlation between conformity and sexual activity in two university programs at Lund University, Sweden.

By the end of the 1960s there was a growing environmental concern all around the globe. As a part of an answer to this challenge the need was recognized for a reorientation of the education processes towards developing knowledge, attitudes and skills for resolving the issues. This was the birth of the concept of Environmental Education (EE). However, this notion is far from being static as it went

The Swedish implementation of the EU's Data Retention Directive, entailing mandatory retention of electronic communications data concerning all individuals for the purpose of law enforcement, was passed in 2012. In 2014 the directive was ruled invalid by the Court of Justice of the European Union on the basis of its alleged infringements on fundamental rights. Implementations of the directive

In this paper the laminar burning velocities of nitromethane, ethanol and nitromethane-ethanol mixtures has been determined by using heat flux method. The laminar burning velocity of ethanol was measured at atmospheric pressure, initial temperatures range 298-358 K and equivalence ratio 0.7-1.6. The flame speed of ethanol shows a satisfactory agreement with previous available data. The burning vel

Erosion of coastal areas is experienced in many countries around the world. The natural beach dynamics is caused by hydrodynamic processes, variations in sediment transport rates and frequency of storm events but anthropogenic influences may also contribute to an increased erosion/accretion of the shoreline. Maputo city, located in the southeastern part of Mozambique, have during the last decays e

The purpose of this thesis is to produce an example of a solution to the problem with varying space requirements in divorced families living one-and two-family houses in Sweden. We have focused our work on solving this with a stand-alone complementary building which contains all the critical functions a dwelling should have. To facilitate and make the investment more realistic the building should
