Tidigare forskning har framhävt vikten av "self-efficacy" vid rehabilitering. Vilka faktorer som påverkar upplevd "self-efficacy" under rehabilitering är situationsspecifikt. Då elitidrottares och motionärers förutsättningar inför en rehabiliteringsprocess har visat skilja sig åt, är även de faktorer som avgör "self-efficacy" olika för de båda grupperna. Syftet med st

Hur skulle stjärnytor se ut om vi kunde observera dem på nära håll? Vanligtvis analyseras stjärnor som om de vore sfäriska gasbollar, men egentligen är deras ytor mer lika ytan i en kastrull med kokande vatten. Detta ”kokande” ger upphov till fina strukturer över hela stjärnans yta. Fysiska egenskaper hos en stjärna, som temperatur och kemisk sammansättning, bestäms vanligtvis genom att mäta stjärStars as we observe them are point source objects and their measured spectra are integrated over the stellar disk. Since the beginning of stellar spectroscopy, stellar parameters are calculated from these spectra. However recently, simulations of stellar atmospheres show that it is not possible to determine stellar parameters in a unique way from disk-averaged data. These 3-dimensional simulations

It is told that there are 366 instances of different forms of ”do not be afraid” in the Bible, one for every day of the year including leap years. It sounds like a nice thought; however, proving it would probably require a lot of time. Nevertheless, fear is a recurring topic in the Bible and can be interpreted in many different ways. The Bible is with no doubt a huge source of knowledge for Christ

The current debt crisis in Europe has led to demands for greater financial integration in the EU in the form of the creation of a banking union. This paper discusses the proposal of a banking union along with five other proposals for changes to the current system of home-host-country supervision. The dual banking system in the US is also discussed in this paper, as an example of supervision among

Kvicksilver, Hg, är ett farligt grundämne i miljön då Hg är ett flyktigt ämne. Hg blir farligt för oss människor om det ansamlas i kroppen i form av metylkvicksilver och kan orsaka skador på nervsystemet, njurar och fortplantningsorgan mm. Kvicksilver förs in i vår närmsta livsmiljö i allt större omfattning genom industriprocesser; vanligast är då förbränning av kol och användning i lampor, vulkanMercury is a a heavy metal and its presence in our environment constitutes an health-hazard for example in the form of methyl-mercury. Therefore, it is important to construct sensors to detect this pollutant. Research is also being performed on developing optical sensors and mercury can be detected through a range of methods, from point monitoring using Zeeman absorption to 3-D scanning of the atm
