Previous research shows that children

While there is a degree of homogeneity in the physical impact that volcanic hazards can cause, the experience of volcanic risk and the politics of exposure are far from equal. The purpose of this thesis is to expand on research citing population growth and property price dynamics as factors encouraging settlement in the Mauna Loa and Kīlauea lava hazard zones. It seeks to determine if high-hazard

According to a recent report by “Syria Relief” organisation, 75% of the Syrian Refugees who left Syria in the last six years are suffering from at least seven symptoms of Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Youth refugees are not finding the support they need; some of them are not even aware that they need it, which leads to a lack of communication and understanding in the evaluation of t

Ex vivo organ perfusion is a technique that aims to increase the amount of organ donors by treating an otherwise nonfunctional organ with a perfusion fluid outside of the body to restore its function. UGLK Science is an ex vivo organ perfusion company outside of Lund specializing in kidney transplantation. The organ is perfused in a machine which restores kidney function, allowing the organ to sur

Same-sex marriage has made its trend on social media in Thailand especially on Twitter under the #MarriageEquality hashtag as the topic was being brought up to the Parliament on February 9, 2022. Currently, though there are studies on LGBTQ in Thailand no recent study focuses on revealing the connection between hashtag activism, personal action frames, and LGBTQ movements.

Livsmedelsinspektörer spelar en avgörande roll för att se till att maten vi äter är säker och hälsosam. Genom att inspektera livsmedelsanläggningar, restauranger och andra matinrättningar hjälper de till att förhindra spridning av matburna sjukdomar och skyddar allmänheten från osäkra matpraktiker. Deras arbetsmiljö är dock ofta utmanade med ett både fysiskt och mentalt krävande arbete där detHow do we know that the food we eat is safe and healthy? Sweden is high on the charter over countries which have the highest food safety standards. Food health inspectors play an absolutely crucial role in maintaining these standards and systems. By inspecting food processing facilities, restaurants, and other food establishments they help prevent the spread of foodborne illnesses and help pro

Pramipexole is a medication that normalises dopamine signalling in the brain. Previous studies have suggested that pramipexole is an effective treatment option for depression and anhedonia because it targets the dopaminergic pathways within the brain’s reward network. The nucleus accumbens is a crucial region for dopamine signalling in reward processing. Both task-based and resting-state fMRI evid

Det finns till dags dato inget entydigt svar på vad som ger ett bra utfall i psykoterapeutisk behandling, faktorer som anses gemensamma för alla sorters terapi, så kallade Common Factors (CF) eller den specifika terapimetoden. Definitionen av CF varierar och kan härledas till alla delar av terapi såsom patientfaktorer, förändringsprocess och terapeutfaktorer. Som en del av POSE-projektet undersöktUnderstanding what constitutes a positive outcome in psychotherapeutic treatment remains a challenge, whether attributed to Common Factors (CF) shared across therapies or specific therapeutic methods. The definition of CF varies and can be traced to all aspects of therapy, including patient and therapist factors and the process of change. This study, as part of the POSE-project, examined the psych

The purpose of this master's thesis is to study how the public library can contribute to the transition into a more sustainable, resilient society. Through the phenomenon of the seed library, this thesis examines the library's ability to engage and communicate with the local community about environmental and climate related issues.

Knowledge brokerage and science communication are roles prone to forming “certainty troughs” (MacKenzie, 1990) between scientists and science’s downstream consumers. This has been studied as pertaining to in particular the geoscience area of CO2/climate, with an eye for the security domain’s use of science’s knowledge vertical. As background, the areas of knowledge acquisition, undue politicizatio

Soil temperature fluctuations are typical at high latitudes in early spring or late autumn. Freeze-thaw cycles (FTCs) occur when the soil temperature fluctuates around 0°C, causing a change in the state of the soil solution. Due to climate change, FTCs are predicted to become more frequent and intense, especially in the Arctic, Antarctic, and cold temperate regions. In this study, two experiments

Bakgrund: Personer med autism har annorlunda sensorisk bearbetning vilket påverkar vardagsaktiviteter i hemmet och samhället. Omfattande forskning om barn med autism speglar hur sensoriska problem påverkar skolaktiviteter och fritidsaktiviteter som bidrar till stress, sämre deltagande i sociala umgängen och arbetsuppgifter. Även om vuxna personer med autism har sensoriska svårigheter belyser forskBackground: People with autism have a different sensory processing which affects daily occupations at home and in society. Extensive research about children with autism reflects how sensory difficulties affect school and leisure activities which contribute to stress, poorer participation in social gatherings and tasks. Although adults with autism experience sensory difficulties, research rarely hi

One of the main qualities of life in Icelandic society is the earth’s heat that has been harnessed and fed into the homes of the citizens. The swimming pool is the clearest and most visible manifestation of these qualities of life. Bathhouses are a regular part of many people’s daily lives, and human life in the pools is a fascinating part of Icelandic society. Architecture plays a key role there,

Energifrågan gällande tillgång, kapacitet och kostnad för el har under de senaste åren blivit en aktualitet i det svenska men även europeiska samhället. Bakgrunden till att energifrågor har blivit angelägna i nuläget är främst en ökad elektrifiering av samhället, ökade kostnader på grund av kriget i Ukraina 2022 och kapaciteten som inte har motsvarat efterfrågan. I samband med en osäkrare omvärld,The purpose of this study was to investigate whether a single-family house can, in the event of a possible crisis when electricity is not available, manage the heating of a house during the worst week of the year when the house is off-grid. Furthermore, to calculate the potential climate impact for the house's energy demand during that week. Thus, three different heating scenarios have been ch

English teachers in Swedish upper secondary school often focus on Standard British and American English, although they agree with the syllabus that different varieties of English should be included in teaching. This study aimed to investigate to what extent English teachers include different varieties of English in the classroom. Previous work has failed to provide a comprehensive overview of the

När maten blir en risk: Om smittskydd och ansvar inom äldreomsor gen Livsmedelsburna sjukdomar förekommer över hela världen och kan orsaka sjukdom hos alla människor.

During the second half of August and the first part of September 2017, I radiotracked several European nightjars (Caprimulgus europaeus) around the Stensoffa area in Southern Sweden. Several locations were taken for each bird each night, including diurnal roost and nocturnal points composed by flying and resting behaviours. Being a long-distance migrator already on the way south during autumn migr
