The Cognitive Activation Theory of Stress (CATS) suggests that the cognitive appraisal of a stressor determines whether a psychological and physiological stress response will take place. Coping is hence equated to positive outcome expectancy, i.e. the perceived ability to handle the stressful situation with a positive outcome. A short, temporary stress response can provide learning (train) and pre

Inom ett demokratiskt samhälle är likhet inför lagen en av de viktigaste principerna. Men är den möjligt att uppfylla i praktiken? Går det överhuvudtaget att behandla människor lika trots att vi ständigt delar in varandra i olika kategorier? I Sverige idag tilldelas alla barn ett juridiskt kön redan vid födseln. Beroende på om barnet anses vara en flicka eller en pojke följer sedan helt olika förvEquality before the law is one of the most important principles within a democratic society. But can it be put into practice? Is it at all possible to treat people equally in a society where we constantly divide each other into different categories? Today in Sweden, all children are assigned a legal sex at birth. We have different expectations on what qualities a child is supposed to have dependin

I och med införande av 1920 års giftorättsbalk gavs mannen och hustrun en mer likvärdig ställning i äktenskapet då mannens dominans över kvinnan och boets ekonomiska delar bröts. Principen om att var och en av makarna äger sin egendom och svarar för sina skulder infördes och giftorätten kunde likställas med en latent rätt till del av den andra makes egendom. Synen på äktenskapet förändrades under The introduction of the 1920 Marriage Code created a more equal marriage, as the husband’s dominance over the wife and their shared marital estate was dissolved. A new principle was created to replace the old system. This entailed each of the spouses to own their own property and to be responsible for their own debts. The new systems main principal was that the property between husband and wife sh

Background: Routine oxygen therapy has for a long time been used as part of the standard treatment for myocardial infarction (MI), despite a lack of randomized controlled trials (RCT) to support the use. A recent Cochrane review on oxygen treatment for normoxic MI patients found no evidence supporting the use, rather the trend pointed towards possible harm for oxygen. The SOCCER-study (Supplementa
