Slipp allvarliga konsekvenser av rökning – med rätt gener Kronisk obstruktiv lungsjukdom (KOL) är en av världens främsta dödsorsaker. Mer än 200 miljoner människor tros lida av KOL och antalet som utvecklar sjukdomen ökar för varje år. Av all världens rökare utvecklar ungefär 20% KOL under sin livstid. Varför vissa inte utvecklar KOL tros bero på ens gener och hur dom uttrycker sig. Kronisk obstChronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is an untreatable lung disease primarily caused by cigarette smoke. Long-time smoking causes oxidative stress which creates an imbalance in the protein machinery that cause accumulation of misfolded proteins in the cells. Approximately 20% of long-time smokers develop COPD. The reason why some develop COPD while others do not, is believed to be dependen

Syftet med den här studien är att genom en analys av sekundärdata insamlat via en enkätstudie undersöka om det fanns någon korrelation mellan utbrändhet och social gemenskap, känslomässiga krav eller erfarenhet inom yrket. Analysen visar att endast en av dessa faktiskt hade någon korrelation med utbrändhet i det aktuella data setet. Denna korrelation låg mellan de känslomässiga kraven och den känsThe aim of this study was to determent the relationship between the burn-out syndrome and the respective variables, time in the profession, social support and emotional demands.

Skillnader i kultur mellan länder är sedan länge väldokumenterade (Hofstede, 1998). I en allt mer globaliserad värld där det blir vanligare att personer flyttar mellan länder har det blivit aktuellt att studera huruvida dessa personer “akulturaliseras” (Berry, 2003), alltså anpassar sig kulturellt, till sin nya hemmiljö. I denna studie undersöks huruvida personer från ett land som Hofstede (1998) Differences in culture between countries have been well documented (Hofstede, 1998). But in an increasingly globalized world, where it becomes ever more common for people to move between countries, it has become more relevant to study whether these people "acculturise" (Berry, 2003), thus adapting culturally, to their new home environment. In this study, it is examined whether people fro

I denna uppsats undersöks hur gerundium och enledade satser överförts från en och samma ryska källtext till tre olika svenska måltexter skrivna av tre olika översättare. Källtexten utgörs av Anton Tjechovs novell Anna na sjeje, ‘En Anna om halsen’. Undersökningen utgår från de kontrastiva skillnader mellan ryska och svenska som torde föranleda explicitering vid översättning av dessa språkdrag, sam

The respondents were selected by their profession, and we chose bo

Determining eligibility for financial aid is an ambiguous task for social workers, according to research. Social workers are expected to support clients in taking part of social welfare, while at the same time ensuring work requirement participation. The aim of the study was to investigate this ambiguous task from a client perspective. The study was based on data that was gathered from seven semi-

Sammanfattning Religionsfrihet är en grundläggande mänsklig rättighet och har ett vidsträckt skydd i såväl nationell som internationell rätt. Rätten att utöva och ge uttryck för sin religion kan dock begränsas. I situationer då religion kolliderar med arbete kan intressemotsättningar mellan olika aktörer uppstå. Vid en bedömning i en sådan intressemotsättning kan det vara svårt att avgöra gränsernAbstract Freedom of religion is a fundamental human right and has extensive protection in both national and international law. The right for an individual to express and exercise religion is however limited. In situations where religion collides with labour and working life contradictions between different actors can arise. When assessing such contradictions, it may be difficult to determine the b

This study focus on the six largest minable cryptocurrencies: Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, Litecoin, Ethereum, Monero and DASH, and puts forward determinants that explain large parts of the price value formation in the markets. This is done by Ordinary Least Squares linear regression with intent to validate or question previous research regarding explanatory factors driving the market price. These facto

The most extreme subgenre of metal, black metal, is famous for its anti-Christian and Satanic aesthetics. Violent incidents connected to the formation of the Norwegian black metal scene in the early 1990s, such as Church-burnings, murders, and arsons, would make the genre notorious and solidify the perception that its fans and musicians reject religion. However, since black metal is born out of a

Tidigare forskning beskriver såväl dåliga arbetsvillkor som en otydlighet kring vad arbetet som personlig assistent innebär. Denna studie syftade till att undersöka hur personliga assistenter själva upplever sin psykosociala arbetsmiljö. Studien byggde på en enkät som undersökte hur personliga assistenters skattade sin upplevelse av obalans mellan ansträngning och belöning, samt deras arbetsengagePrevious research has described poor working conditions as well as ambiguity regarding job tasks for personal assistants. The purpose of the study was to investigate how personal assistants experienced their psychosocial work environment. The survey examined the respondents’ experience of ERI and their levels of UWES, if ERI and UWES correlates, and if the respondents age had an impact on the resu

This essay is concerned with whether the progressive aspect is overgeneralized by children, using it with stative verbs. The study targets the age interval 1 to 10 years and adults. The matter was investigated in several child corpora and adult corpora. The interval 1 to 5 years was covered by the Brown (1973b) corpus with Eve, Adam and Sarah. Data for the interval 6 to 10 years were obtained from

Intresset för probiotika har vuxit de senaste åren. Förutom att vara ha en förebyggande effekt och vara en effektiv behandling mot akut diarré, finns det forskning som indikerar att probiotika kanske kan användas för att förebygga andra sjukdomar, t.ex. tjocktarmscancer. Utmaningen med probiotika är att för att den ska ha någon effekt, krävs det att tillräckligt många levande bakterier når tjocktaThe interest in probiotics has grown in the last few years. In addition to being effective in treating and preventing acute diarrhea, there are indications that it might be possible to use probiotics to prevent other diseases such as colon cancer. The challenge with probiotics is that for it to have any effect, enough viable bacteria must reach the colon. To deliver live probiotics to the colon, i

Håravfall vid cytostatikabehandling kan vara traumatiskt, både på grund av att det är kopplat till den cancersjuka kvinnas identitet, men även för att det oftast inte stämmer överens med normerna kring en kvinnas utseende. Det finns mycket forskning kring upplevelsen av att tappa sitt hår under cytostatikabehandling, men bara ett begränsat antal studier om hur kvinnor bemästrar håravfallet. Syftet

The aim of this study is to investigate how undocumented migrants in Sweden describe their situation and which strategies they develop to handle their situation.

The theoretical framework of th

In this thesis I will interpret the ​Ars amatoria ​ and ​Tristia ​ written by the Roman poet Ovid. He is mostly known for his poems about love and metamorphoses, and his life is closely linked with that of the emperor Augustus. That is why I have chosen to focus on how Ovid expressed himself on subjects such as love, marriage and the imperial power. The aim of this thesis is therefore to investiga

Nya system skapar svårigheter då man inte kan använda redan etablerade metaforer, designer eller sätt att beskriva och prata om systemet. Detta arbetet ämnar att underlätta arbetet med sådana system genom att erbjuda designprinciper och metodiker för att jobba med dem och undersöka vilka svårigheter man behöver vara medveten om. För att forma och testa nya designprinciper och metodiker så genomföOne of the difficulties in designing new products is the absence of already tried metaphors, designs or ways to talk about the system. This thesis focuses on methods and practises one could potentially use when designing something new - and if there are any challenges one need to aware of as a designer of such a system. In order to devise, and test, these practices and methods, an example system
