Data was collected from two Swedish national registries on pharmaceutical consumption and municipality socioeconomic factors for groups of ages 17 and 19, from January 2013 to June 2018. I use a difference-in-difference strateg

Syftet med studien är att öka kunskaperna om hur elever, som har valt att gå gymnasieprogram med klassisk musik som inriktning eller fördjupning, resonerar kring sina framtida yrkesval. Studien syftar även till att kartlägga de uppfattningar om musicerande och yrkesval som eleverna ger uttryck för under gymnasietiden samt undersöka vilka faktorer som har bidragit till deras fortsatta musicerande. This study aims to deepen the knowledge of how students reflect on their future career choices. The students all attend a high school program with special focus on classical music on an intermediate or advanced level. The purpose of this study is also to map the opinions of the students concerning musicianship and career choices, as well as determine which factors have contributed to them continui

Sammanfattning Introduktion: Studier som författarna tagit del av visar att bristande kommunikation med uteblivet ledarskap som följd legat bakom flera situationer som lett till risk för eller faktiska vårdskador. Till stor del har de studier som hittats som beskriver sjuksköterskans ledarroll utförts i somatisk vård, varför författarna såg en kunskapslucka i psykiatrisk omvårdnad. Bakgrund: För

Lateralmoräner är karaktäristiska för glaciala landskap bildade i höga bergsområden med dalglaciärer. Forskningen om lateralmoräners bildning är dock ofta begränsatsade till glaciärisar med lågt materialinnehåll. När lateralmoräner bildas längs kanten av materialrika glaciärer, med det glaciala materialet i sin senare fas huvudsakligen transporterat över glaciärens yta tillkommer sedimentationsproLateral moraines are key features of glacial landscapes in high-alpine mountain areas. Research on lateral moraine formation is mostly limited to clean-ice glaciers; lateral moraine formation at the margins of debris-covered glaciers is currently poorly understood in an Alpine and sedimentological context. This thesis focuses on the reconstruction of processes of lateral moraine formation at the d

For the last two decades, international investment arbitration has been the most effective and reliable mechanism utilised by investors as a shield under the international protection against excessive states’ intervention. Acknowledging the significance of preserving a safe environment for conducting investments as well as promoting foreign direct investment was the leading element in the process

The formation of the suspected carcinogenic compound acrylamide has become a noticed problem in the heat processing of several types of carbohydrate rich food items. The European Union is currently working to mitigate these levels, where one strategy is to implement a new regulation with benchmark levels for acrylamide in different products. The regulation also includes recommendations on how to r

The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of mobile financial services on the behavior of young adults on the financial market, particularly how mobile financial services effect the distribution of risk amongst consumers. The risk examined are twofold; how the risk of a financial transaction looks like for both the consumer of the financial instrument and the distributor (Avanza) and how

Den moderna globaliserade arbetsmarknaden kännetecknas av att anställningsförhållandena blivit tillfälliga och flexibla. Konsekvenserna av de nya anställningsförhållandena är ämnet för denna studie. Syftet med studien har varit att få en djupgående förståelse av unga kvinnors upplevelser som behovsanställda inom vård- och omsorg och anställningsformens effekt på deras upplevelser av arbets- och li

Tubular heating elements, produced by Backer AB are today commonly used, serving as systems for intelligent heating in automotive, medical and household industries. Tubular heating element consists of a mantle, resistance wire, electrical insulation (magnesium oxide) and a sealing. When active, an electric current transfers heat from the resistance wire of the heating element to the surroundings w

Another link in the immune cell chain Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the number one cause of death in the western world. The main cause of CVD is atherosclerosis, a chronic inflammatory disease of the major arteries. Atherosclerosis can be described as by a build up of plaque in medium to large arteries. Clinical complications, such as heart attack and stroke, occur when plaques rupture and form

The consumption of single use and disposable packaging has led to significant amounts of waste. A large share of food and beverage packaging products are multi-layered aseptic cardboard packages laminated with aluminium and principally with the Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE) plastic material. This multilayer design makes them poorly recyclable and causes that aluminium and LDPE layers are often i

The expansion of large-scale wind energy projects in the name of climate change mitigation has led to numerous social conflicts in Oaxaca. The Mexican government has put forward environmental policies that envision 35% of the national electricity to be generated by renewable sources in 2024. The urgency to achieve these climate change goals has been used to favor corporate projects that have been

We study orthogonal decompositions of complex special linear Lie algebras or, in other words, linear spaces consisting of complex matrices with zero trace. The conjugacy of the component subspaces give rise to change of basis matrices with a particular form that we, for the moment, call "nice". We prove a necessary and sufficient condition for this form, which allows us to characterize o

The presence of informal settlements in large cities of the developing world is a concrete expression of urban poverty. The residents of Brazilian favelas are more likely to be exposed to environmental risks, lower life quality and risks of eviction. Additionally, there is a common generalization of associating favela residents with illegality, criminality and pollution. Using a political ecology

This report reviews the fire safety of the thorax intensive care unit of Skåne University Hospital in Lund to validate the safety of persons in the ward during fire. By identifying 16 possible fire scenarios and ranking them by probability and consequence the three most complicated and probable scenarios were chosen – fire in a recycle bin, storage room, and unoccupied patient room. Through simula

Under senare tid har bristande patient-läkarkontinuitet uppmärksammats allt mer i debatter, nyhetsartiklar och myndighetsrapporter. Samtidigt redovisar landstingen och regionerna allt större utgifter för hyrpersonal i vården. Denna uppsats ämnar undersöka om det finns ett samband mellan ökad användning av inhyrd vårdpersonal och minskad kontinuitet i vården. Utifrån landstingens/regionernas årliga

Den här uppsatsens syfte är att uppmärksamma och analysera om och hur muslimerna på ön blir förtryckta samt att försöka bidra med medvetenhet och forskning. Iris Marion Youngs teori om förtryck vid namn Förtryckets fem ansikten används för att kunna studera materialet som utgörs av nyhetsartiklar och dokument från Amnesty. En innehållsanalys utförs på materialet där ett flertal förtryckande maktst

I Sverige möts vi allt oftare av rubriker om organisationer som hamnat i blåsväder på grund av o lämpliga uttalanden, kränkande reklam eller oetiskt handlande. Dessa firestorms, som ofta uppstår utan förvarning på nätet, medför stora utmaningar för organisationers marknadskommunikationsavdelningar. Denna studie är skriven inom fältet för kriskommunikation och har ämnat att studera dynamiken inom sIn Sweden, we increasingly face headlines where organizations are accused of inappropriate statements, offending ads and unethical actions. These firestorms, which emerge without any warnings, cause major challenges for organizations’ marketing communication. This thesis is written within the field of crisis communication, with an aim to study the dynamics of different Swedish paracrises. The rese
