I denna experimentella studie undersökte vi hur en-session-behandling med exponering och responsprevention (in vivo) fungerar för individer diagnostiserade med OCD enligt DSM-5. Effekten av en-sessionens-behandling med ERP jämfördes med en kontrollgrupp som fick psykoedukation i form av att läsa en text om kognitiv teori och emotionsteori. Baslinjemätningen, som bestod av självskattningsformulär BIn this experimental study, we investigated how one-session treatment with exposure and response prevention (in vivo) works for individuals diagnosed with OCD according to DSM-5. The effectiveness of the one-session treatment ERP was compared with a control group who received psychoeducation in the form of reading a text on cognitive theory and emotion theory.

Sulfaterade peptidkedjor som framtida läkemedel I kroppen finns det många biologiska processer som ständigt måste hållas igång för att den ska fungera. Glykosaminoglykaner (GAGs) är långa, linjära polysackarider som utgör en viktig del i kroppen där de bland annat reglerar cellulär tillväxt, celldifferentiering och sårläkning. Många av dessa GAGs är i hög grad sulfaterade och karboxylerade vilketGlycosaminoglycans (GAGs) are polysaccharides that are involved in many biological processes. Heparin and dermatan sulfate are highly sulfated GAGs that are involved in the coagulation cascade by regulating thrombin and are used as anticoagulatory drugs. Various peptides have been suggested to constitute the foundation of GAG mimetics to find alternative drugs. This bachelor thesis is focusing on

Today's society is in constant change and development where globalisation and technology have affected the labour market. As a result, the labour market is different and the employees set higher demands with new requirements for the employer to satisfy.

År 2019 överlämnade en särskild utredare, utsedd av regeringen, ett betänkande till regeringen där denne föreslår att en ny bestämmelse ska införas i Brottsbalkens 4 kapitel som ska göra det straffbart att hetsa, uppmana eller på annat sätt psykiskt påverka annan att begå självmord. Frågan som aktualiseras är om denna kriminalisering är lämplig. Det finns vissa centrala straffrättsliga teorier iIn 2019, a special investigator submitted a report to the Swedish government advocating that the incitement of suicide be made a criminal offence. To accomplish this, the investigator proposed that a new provision should be introduced in Chapter 4 of the Swedish Penal Code which would make it a criminal offense to incite, or otherwise psychologically influence, an individual to commit suicide. W

Bodelningar mellan sambor respektive makar kan vara problematiska. Det kan uppkomma frågor om hur ett ekonomiskt mellanhavande mellan parterna ska betraktas. I sådana situationer är det vanligt att parterna är oense huruvida mellanhavandet utgör en försträckning, en gåva eller ett bidrag till den ekonomiska gemenskapen. Karaktären av mellanhavandet kan få betydelse för vad vardera parten erhåller Division of property between cohabitants and spouses could be problematic. Questions regarding financial dealing and unsettled matters between the parties may arise. In these situations, it is common that the two parties are in disagreement whether the unsettled financial matters should be seen as a claim, a gift or contribution to the economic kinship. The type of unsettled matters may be of sign

Denna uppsats handlar om bästsäljande facklitteratur. Syftet är att få en bättre förståelse för den facklitterära delen av bokbranschen samt för den stora gruppen böcker som faller under begreppet facklitteratur. Frågor som diskuteras är: Vilka facklitterära genrer sålde bäst de senaste fem åren? Vilka förlag hade givit ut denna bästsäljande facklitteratur? Och fanns det några särskilt populära fö

This paper examines the efficiency of Bitcoin by studying the impact of Bitcoin’s so-called halving dates. To test for weak-form market efficiency, we check for the random walk, in addition to employing statistical
