Studiens syfte var att undersöka varför patienter valt att ensidigt avsluta sitt deltagande i KBT i grupp, vilka förväntningar de avhoppade patienterna hade haft på behandlingen, hur de upplevde behandlingen och om dessa upplevelser var relaterade till avhoppet. Semistrukturerade intervjuer utfördes med sju personer, vilka alla hade hoppat av från KBT-grupper innan behandlingen var slutförd. Reasons behind patients’ decisions to unilaterally terminate Cognitive Behavioral Group Therapy (CBGT), and whether the experience of the therapy was related to the termination of the treatment were examined. In addition to this, the patients’ expectations on the treatment prior to commencement and patients’ experiences of the treatment were examined. Semi-structured interviews were conducted

Bevis från terrestriska sedimentära lagerföljder indikerar att inflödet av extraterrestriskt material till Jorden inte är konstant, utan har varit förhöjt under perioder av Jordens historia. Ett ökat flöde av extraterrestriskt material till Jorden har föreslagits för perioderna mellanordovicium och sen eocen. Orsaken tros vara asteroidskurar orsakade av uppbrytningar av asteroider i asteroidbältetEvidence from terrestrial sedimentary successions indicate that the amount of extraterrestrial material reaching Earth is not constant, but has been increased during parts of the Phanerozoic. An increase in the flux of extraterrestrial material to Earth has been proposed for the Middle Ordovician and the Late Eocene. These showers of extraterrestrial material on Earth are thought to have resulted
