I föreliggande psykologexamensuppsats undersöktes adaptivt beteende hos 52 extremt prematurfödda barn vid 6.5-års ålder. Deltagarna följdes upp i den nationella studien Extremely Preterm Infant Study in Sweden (EXPRESS). Barnens adaptiva beteende jämfördes med 41 jämnåriga födda efter fullgången graviditet. Föräldraskattningar med Adaptive Behaviour Assessment System-II (ABAS-II) användes för att

Erosion och översvämningar – effekter av klimatförändringarna. En stor del av befolkningen bor idag längs kusterna, vissa även på kustnära områden som ligger under dagens havsnivå. Kommer effekterna av erosion och översvämningar att öka kommer detta ha förödande effekter och kommer att påverka många människor. Landskrona är ett exempel på en stad som ligger längs kusten och redan idag upplever svThe global climate is changing, mostly due to human impacts of greenhouse gases emissions. These changes in climate have lead to an increase in global warming, increasing extreme storm events and an increase in sea-level etcetera. Areas located along the coast will suffer from coastal erosion and flooding as a result of the impact from the climate changes. These impacts can lead to major socio-eco

Credit rating agencies’ influence on capital markets has been a highly debated topic in the last decades, as their power and impact have not been established with clarity. Different characteristics have been found especially between larger and smaller markets, which makes it interesting to investigate how the Nordic market as a smaller market reacts to credit changes. This study investigates how t

I denna studie har 14 olika artiklar från Expressen och Aftonbladet analyserats. Artiklarna har publicerats mellan februari 2015 och mars 201 6. Genom att analysera ord, koncept, teman och innehåll generellt, har det hittats tre olika diskurser rörande missbruk och missbrukare i Sverige. Den första diskursen som hittades handlade om kriminalitet och visade en klar bild av hur missbruk var förbunAbstract Title: We and them: A discourse analysis of the media`s representation of addicts. Supervisor: Janicke Andersson Author: Therese Benjaminsson Assessor: Eva Palmblad This study analyzed 14 different articles from Expressen and Aftonbladet from a time period between February 2015 and March 2016. By analyzing vocabulary, concepts, themes and content in general, three different discou

This study examines the implementation of carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology, specifically the monoethanolamine (MEA) chemical absorption method, in a biomass power plant. The aim is to assess the energy requirements and optimize the solvent processes to improve the overall efficiency of the carbon capture process. The use of bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (Bio-CCS) is pro

Nature-based solutions (NbS) are gaining popularity as tools to address societal challenges while providing social, economic, and environmental benefits. Given that NbS is a relatively new concept, there is a lack of guidance on how NbS in urban areas can be adapted to fit their socio-spatial context and provide benefits. This research uses an exploratory comparative case study between Rotterdam,

Effectively utilizing Big Data can be a challenge for many companies. Due to its volume, many aspects of the data processing pipeline such as storage, retrieval and usage may quickly become problematic. For example, it could be difficult identifying the relevant metrics when analyzing a service failure. Visualizing and deriving insights from the data could also prove to be quite onerous. Immersive

Studies has shown that adherence to prehospital treatment guidelines, for patients with non-traumatic chest pain is inadequate and that there is a treatment difference between genders. The aim of this study was to examine prehospital caregiver¡¯s adherence to treatment guidelines for patients with non-traumatic chest pain and compare treatment frequencies between men and women in a region in south

Androgen-deprivation therapy (ADT) for prostate cancer has been associated with increased risk for development of cardiovascular events and recent pooled analyses of randomized intervention trials suggest that this primarily is the case for patients with pre-existing cardiovascular disease treated with gonadotropin-releasing hormone receptor (GnRH-R) agonists. In the present study we investigated

Type 1 diabetes is diagnosed at the end of a prodrome of β-cell autoimmunity. The disease is most likely triggered at an early age by autoantibodies primarily directed against insulin or glutamic acid decarboxylase, or both, but rarely against islet antigen-2. After the initial appearance of one of these autoantibody biomarkers, a second, third, or fourth autoantibody against either islet antigen-

Genetic and epigenetic factors may predispose women to polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), a common heritable disorder of unclear etiology. Here we investigated differences in genome-wide gene expression and DNA methylation in adipose tissue from 64 women with PCOS and 30 controls. In total, 1720 unique genes were differentially expressed (Q < 0.05). Six out of twenty selected genes with largest exp

Discussions of the cultural economy often focus upon the movement of such things as signs, media images, fashion and their entanglement in economic processes, but less attention has been paid to the concrete ways in which cultural heritage is affected by the processes and conditions of commoditization. This paper focuses upon how two museums of Scandinavian heritage struggle with very different cu
