Spring ifrån Stressen - en studie om den fysiska träningens påverkan på kognitiva förmågor

Hälsa och välmående diskuteras flitigt i olika medier och allt fler människor i arbetslivet uppger att de är stressade. Många arbetsplatser har implementerat träning i det dagliga schemat för att minska stressen och effektivisera arbetet. Syftet med vår studie har varit att genomföra en sambandsstudie mellan fysisk aktivitet och kognitiva egenskaper för att se hur dessa egenskaper samverkar. Vi ha

Production of K0S and Lambda in p-Pb Collisions at sqrt(s_NN)=5.02 TeV Measured with the ALICE Detector at the LHC

Många har hört talas om The Big Bang – den stora smällen – det ögonblick där det Universum som vi känner till idag föddes. Även om vad som fanns innan Big Bang ännu förblir en gåta, tyder observationer på att alla galaxer, stjärnor och planeter som idag existerar – även rumtiden själv – började i en enda punkt. Denna punkt måste ha varit oerhört tät och het, vilket innebär att den materien vi ser This thesis presents an analysis of the production of K_S^0 and Λ particles in p-Pb collisions at a center of mass collision energy of sqrt(s_NN) = 5.02 TeV, measured with the ALICE detector at the LHC, CERN. The p_T spectra as well as the baryon-to-meson yield ratio Λ/K_S^0, for p_T

Application of CO2 expanded liquids as green solvents for the extraction of antioxidants

Antioxidants are compounds present in plant, fruit, and vegetables, and they are known for their medicinal benefits such as anti-carcinogenic and anti-fungicidal activity. Most commonly used methods for extractions of such compounds are lengthy due to mass transfer limitations. This study proposes the use of carbon-dioxide expanded liquids (CXLs) as solvent to improve these limitations. Such solve

Från vardag till vardag

I Sverige får cirka 3000 kvinnor/år en gynekologisk cancer och antalet kvinnor som överlevde och återhämtade sig från gynekologisk cancer ökade, på grund av bland annat en förbättrad diagnostik och behandling. Kvinnor som drabbades av gynekologisk cancer kunde få en påverkan på vardagen och därför ville studien belysa hur personer med gynekologisk cancer adapterar till vardagen före, under och eft

Information inför cytostatikabehandling - ur ett patientperspektiv

Gastrointestinal cancer (GI-cancer) betyder cancer i mag-tarmkanalen. Studier visar att patienter har ett behov av att förstår och ta till sig information för att vårdupplevelsen ska bli god, vilket inte alltid sker inom onkologisk vård. Syftet var att undersöka informationen patienter med GI-cancer fått i samband med deras första cytostatikabehandling av sjuksköterskor och betydelsen av denna, ur

Att tampas med människor som själva tampas med livets vedermödor - vad motiverar socialsekreterare att arbeta med missbrukare

ABSTRACT The aim of this exploratory study was to examine what motivates social workers in the drug abuse field to remain in their jobs for longer than five years. Data was collected via semi-structured face-to-face interviews with five social workers in a municipal social services administration in south-western province of Scania. The analysis empolyed qualitative approach using Herzbergs two-

Consequences of a flood in Kristianstad, Sweden : a GIS-based analysis of impacts on important societal functions

According to a recent report from the Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency, the city of Kristianstad is considered as one of the most vulnerable in Sweden regarding consequences of a flood. Being protected by a barrier system, a failure would most likely have serious impact on the city. As parts of the city are situated below sea level, a heavy rainfall may cause considerable consequences since ther

Expanding the Campscape - En antropologisk studie av palestinska flyktingläger i Libanon

This Bachelor’s thesis aims to understand how symbolic boundaries between Palestinian refugee camps and neighbouring urban neighbourhoods are constructed and maintained. It builds on secondary sources in the form of mostly anthropological studies on Palestinian refugee camps in Lebanon, Jordan, Syria and Palestine. The study examines how the urban refugee camp Shatila, in the outskirts of Beirut,

"Don't think twice, it's all right": a corpus-based study on 3rd person singular verb inflection in relation to emerging international varieties of English

In the general syllabus for English at upper-secondary level in Sweden, Skolverket (2012) provides no defined standard of English for teachers to use. Simultaneously, the term ‘correctness’ is posed as one of the requirements that students must accomplish in their upper-secondary English studies. What is inferred by correctness in this context? Can use of grammatical phenomena, such as the 3rd per

Öresundsidentitet - En studie om regional identitet och identitetsskapande i en transnationell kontext

The Öresund region, or Greater Copenhagen as it also is represented as, is a cross-border region connecting Skåne with Copenhagen. Political initiatives have forced development towards a more integrated region with one regional identity. This has been complicated by border controls, redefining the national borders in an inconvenient way, especially for everyday transnational commuters. Through sem

The Europeanization of Turkish Asylum Policy: An Intensive Case Study on the European Union Accession Process Effect on the Evolution of Turkish Asylum Policy and the Adoption of the Law on Foreigners and International Protection

This thesis aims to explain the effect of Turkey’s accession process to the European Union on its asylum policy’s evolution. By applying two branches of new institutional theory––rational choice and social institutionalism––the thesis analyzed the Europeanization phenomenon of the European Union’s accession effect on domestic policy change. In order to do so, process tracing and document analysis

Spridning av PCB från byggnaders fogmassor till mark genom förångning, bindning till partiklar och vattenlösning

PCB sprids från byggnaders fogmassor till mark genom en rad olika processer Polyklorerade bifenyler (PCB) har bland annat använts för att mjuka upp fogmassa, vilket är ett tätningsmaterial för byggnader. Vetskapen om dess negativa påverkan på oss och vår miljö ledde slutligen till ett förbud under 1970-talet, men skadan var tyvärr redan skedd, PCB från dessa fogmassor har på olika sätt spridits, The use of PCB has been forbidden since the seventies, but due to the persistence of this organic pollutant it is still found in air, soil and ecosystems. Building sealants is one important source of PCB in the society, and through the survey "PCB in sealants–Big or Small Problem?" conducted by the Swedish environmental protection agency 1997, it was revealed that PCB in building sealant

The case of Volkswagen and the meaning of their reputational crisis in digital rhetorical arenas

This study explores how crisis communication concerned with reputation repair can gain a deeper understanding for how the meanings of organizations’ reputa-tional crises are constructed in digital rhetorical arenas. The problem stems from a dominant organicentric perspective that has overlooked the communicative activi-ties between stakeholders that have received crisis responses from organization

Public Expenditure Tracking Survey - A tool for empowerment?

Empowerment is a well-known slogan that symbolizes the struggle of marginalized groups against social injustices. This thesis is another contribution to the field of empowerment, addressing the issue of misusing public funds. Public Expenditure Tracking Survey, PETS, is a methodology that has been carried out in order to fight against this issue. In this study, the aim is to scrutinize whether PET

Beijing faded into smog-Beijing Five Year Clean Air action plan (2013-2017) transportation plan

Smogen i Peking har varit ett hett ämne under de senaste åren. För att kunna tillgodose lokala invånares begäran och att ha en god internationell image skapade stadens styrande en handlingsplan på fem år för att få renare luft (2013-2017).
