Vår kultur är i hög grad en terapeutisk kultur; i teve, radio, på Internet och i tidningar pågår terapier av olika slag. Bland dessa är parterapin en av de mer populära. Syftet med den här uppsatsen är att undersöka en samtida diskurs om kärlek.

A great part of the soil remediation projects in Sweden today are being carried out on heterogeneous contaminated areas where for example industrial activities have been going on for a long time. In many cases waste from the industrial processes have been dumped or spread out on the property, and there is no pattern in the occurrence of contaminants. The distribution of the concentration of the co
Within the field of ecotoxicology there is a concept called combination effects. There are two different approaches to combination effects, independent action (IA) and concentration addition (CA). The common assumption in both approaches is that there are no interactions between the substances within the mixture. These approaches are used for predicting the toxicity of whole mixtures and also to e
This master thesis started off as a project to build a product platform for the product category of built-in ovens with the Swedish white goods brand Cylinda.

Endocrine disruption from synthetic human estrogens in molluscs has not been investigated as closely as in vertebrates. This has led to a missing piece in the important puzzle investigating the differences in effects between diverse animal groups after exposure to endocrine disrupting chemicals, EDCs. The Mollusca is one of the largest phyla in the world and the different species can be found in m

Many streams in Scania have been regulated to increase the agricultural potential. Erosion of suspended particles and leakage of nutrients have increased, which gives a higher turbidity in streams. Water samples have been taken in Stream Segeå which has very turbid water. Samples have been taken both in the stream and inflowing ditches, to investigate where particles come from. The stream is very

Patienter som vårdas på intensivvårdsavdelning får ofta sedering. Genom att använda sederingsskalor och införa rutiner kan översedering undvikas och tid i respirator och vårdtid minskas. RASS är en sederingsskala som nyligen blivit översatt till svenska och som nu används på flera svenska intensivvårdsavdelningar. Denna retrospektiva journalstudie undersökte följsamheten till sederingsrutiner på e
Sverige behöver ett förbättrat konsumentkreditskydd. Fler sms-lån än någonsin har hittills i år hamnat i Kronofogdemyndighetens register som obetalda. Konsumenternas skydd är i stort sett verkningslöst, många sms-långivare missköter kreditupplysningarna och ger ut lån till människor som redan är skuldsatta.

En trend inom Sveriges, EU:s samt delar av övriga världens bolagsrätt är att förenkla reglerna för aktiebolag. I detta ligger att revidera kravet som ställs på att aktiebolagens stiftare ska tillskjuta en viss summa pengar som ekonomisk buffert till bolaget, ett så kallat aktiekapital. Den minsta nivå av aktiekapital som behöver tillskjutas bolaget vid bildningen utgörs av minimikapitalet.
