Utländska studier gör gällande att depersonalisationssyndrom (DPD) är lika vanligt som bipolär sjukdom eller tvångssyndrom. Trots detta betraktas DPD som ett ovanligt tillstånd inom psykiatrin. Det anses inte vara en självständig diagnos, utan endast symtom vid andra störningar. Depersonalisationssyndrom uppges därför av forskare vara en av den moderna tidens mest förbisedda diagnoser. Ingen svensStudies claim that depersonalization disorder (DPD) is just as common as bipolar disorder or obsessive-compulsive disorder. DPD is, despite this fact, seen as a rare condition within psychiatry, and not considered to be a diagnosis on its own. Instead it´s just regarded as symptoms that accompanies other psychiatric conditions. For that reason scientists claim that depersonalization disorder is on

Hur vet vi att det inte finns en annan planet i vårt solsystem bakom solen som alltid är dold för våra ögon? Eller om det fanns en planet där, hur skulle den i så fall påverka vårt solsystem? Dessa två frågor är motivationen bakom det här arbetet, som ger både intressanta och förvånande förklaringar till hur vi skulle märka av en extra planet. I projektet används ett datorprogram som simulerar plaThe motivation for the project is to investigate what happens if I add a second Earth in the Solar System and project it forward in time. I add an Earth mass planet (called Earth two) in the same orbit as the Earth on the other side of the Sun (i.e. six months ahead of the original Earth). I then investigate how the perturbation of the second Earth effects the Solar System in the short and the lon

Naturens resurser är inte oändliga och förnyas inte i samma hastighet som vi förbrukar dem. Genom att återvinna, minskar inte bara avfallsmängden som deponeras, utan råmaterial behöver inte förbrukas i samma utsträckning. I Sverige har vi idag en väl utbyggd återvinning där ansvaret för omhändertagande och insamling av avfall från hushåll ligger hos kommunerna, med undantag för de produkter som omEmeli Magnusson (2015) MVEK03 Natural resources are not infinite and are not renewed in the same rate as we consume them. Recycling outweighs a part of the consumption of resources, and the environmental impacts, resulting from the manufacture of new products. Recycling is an important part of getting a sustainable society, it brings us an opportunity to recycle material resources. This study exa

Amartya Sen has proposed a holistic approach to development, poverty and inequality that does not see an increase in income as the aim of development. For this author, interpersonal inequality matters for the prospects to live a valuable life. Moreover, the concept of ha

In four interviews care managers in two municipalities describe how they would act from two given scenarios from a perspective of conflict when the user’s partner and the care manager did not agree on the needs of the user. The study also focuses on the general work t

Global Citizenship Education (GCE) has gained increasing conceptual popularity in recent years. The term has been used by governments, NGO’s and international agencies alike to promote a larger inclusion of global skills, values and attitudes in curricula across the world. However, GCE as practice is not a clearly defined framework and may involve many distinct themes and rationalities in its diff

The essay estimates the relation between population size and municipal costs. Whether the efficiency in service provision in municipalities is depending on population size is discussed in Sweden as well as other countries. The relation is measured using two measures for total costs and two measures for “fixed costs” associated with having an additional decision level. The result give some support

This thesis examines young people’s “lived citizenship” in the occupied West Bank and is based on qualitative research, including visual methods, carried out with a group of adolescents in Nablus. Young people’s ordinary experiences and everyday encounters with the notion of citizenship are at the core of my analysis, which adopts a micro-sociological approach in order to go beyond the “passive/en

It should also reduce accidents with benefits for both property damages and personal injuries. The work methods and organisational structure of winter road maintenance is described through literature studies and interviews. The interviews are d

The aim of this project is to inspire children to natural science, innovation and engineering at a young age. This to show what different possibilities the future has to offer, no mat

The empirical, qualitative material is analyzed within an interdisciplinary framework consisting of feminist, queer, anti-racist, affect and critical diversity theories. The focus of the thesis concerns resistance fro

Med anledning av att flera centralbanker baserar sin penningpolitik på ett inflationsmål, och att det med utgångspunkt från centralbankers agerande finns en större aversion mot deflation, i förhållande till inflation, undersöker vi i denna studie sambandet mellan deflation, inflation och ekonomisk tillväxt. Vi utgår från både teorier som menar att deflation är skadligt för ekonomisk tillväxt och t
