Religionens undanskymda plats inom familjerådgivning: en kvalitativ studie där åtta familjerådgivare delar med sig av sina erfarenheter

Amerikansk kurslitteratur och internationell forskning som förekommer på psykoterapeutprogrammets familjeinriktade gren poängterar inte sällan vikten av klienternas religiösa tro och att denna omtalas under terapeutiska sessioner med par. Motsvarigheten i svensk kurslitteratur och praxis upplevdes inte gå att finna, varför det har känts meningsfullt att undersöka hur ämnet talas om inom svensk faU.S. course literature and international research that appears at the psychotherapy program's fam. It is not uncommon for the discipline to emphasize the importance of the clients' religious beliefs and that this is brought up during therapeutic sessions with couples. The correspondence in Swedish course literature and practice was not perceived to be found, which is why it has felt meanin

Röntgensjuksköterskans upplevelse i mötet med barn som misstänks fara illa

Bakgrund: Det finns en underrapportering från hälso- och sjukvårdspersonal avseende barn som misstänks fara illa, trots en lagstadgad anmälningsplikt. Röntgensjuksköterskor har en central roll i att identifiera barn som far illa och motverka att det existerande mörkertalet växer. Syfte: Att beskriva röntgensjuksköterskors upplevelser vid möten i den radiologiska verksamheten med barn som misstän

The Lifetime and Future of Double Clusters – Why There are so Few Observed Binary Star Clusters

Binary open star clusters within the Milky Way are rare. Only 14 candidates have been confirmed with new Gaia data (Song et al. 2022). The number of binary clusters expected to form from stellar aggregates in the Milky Way is likely more than five times higher than this (Darma et al. 2021), (Kharchenko et al. 2012). Using the N-body simulation program NBODY6 we simulate two known open clusters; th

Comparison of two software toolboxes for the simulation of quantum systems in the context of coherent multidimensional spectroscopy

Simulations are an indispensable tool in physics because they complement experiments, especially complex ones. Coherent multidimensional spectroscopy (CMDS) is such a complex experimental setup. In CMDS, the molecular system of interest interacts with two to four coherent laser pulses and the generated emission provides information about the energetic structure and the relaxation dynamics of the p
