The cards can, for example, represent images of bears that express different emotions, but there are also card decks that represent people, situations, or text that the social

Utveckling av bakteriella lyseringsbuffertar för snabbdiagnostik Bakteriella infektioner utgör ett stort hot till den allmänna folkhälsan. Därför krävs det en snabb och korrekt diagnostik som är tillgänglig i olika miljöer. Traditionella metoder är ofta långsamma och opålitliga, medan molekylära metoder så som PCR erbjuder precision men är kostsamma och komplexa. Efterfrågan för en användarvänlig

The thesis has its theoretical starting point in environmental peacebuilding and is drawing and build

Den här uppsatsen syftar till att undersöka fandomen bland så kallade “swifties”, det vill säga Taylor Swift-fans. Taylor Swift är en av världens största artister och är i skrivande stund den mest streamade artisten på musikplattformen Spotify. Uppsatsen har haft som utgångspunkt att undersöka den interna kulturen bland swifties och hur fansen förhåller sig inom subgruppen såväl som till utomståen

Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) infections are still prevalent in humans, more prominent in immunocompromised individuals. These environmental mycobacteria are widely distributed in soil and water sources, making their exposure very common. In various organisms, phase variation enables reversible switches between avirulent and virulent states. Some strains of M. avium exhibit this visible phase

Mobile devices have expanded and increased flexibility in communication, but at the same time, they can disrupt presence and create distance and isolation between people. With the help of a qualitative interview study, the purpose of this study is to examine how mobile devices can impact communication and relationships within a family in various ways, based on the perspectives and experiences of y

This study aims to analyze how corruption affects the relationship between international trade and child development. Geographically, this study focuses on Sub-saharan Africa, since it has the highest levels of child mortality as well as the highest perceived corruption levels in the world. To evaluate this relationship, a fixed-effects model with robust standard errors has been implemented. The p

Huvudsyftet med föreliggande uppsats var att studera sambandet mellan deltagande och engagemang i studentnationer och studenters känsla av sammanhang (KASAM) utifrån ett hälsofrämjande perspektiv. KASAM har i tidigare studier visats gynnas av stödjande sociala relationer och miljöer samt har en positiv effekt på psykisk hälsa. Föreliggande explorativa studie genomfördes som en webbenkät riktad tilThe main purpose of the present study was to investigate the relationship between participation and involvement in student nations and students’ sense of coherence (SOC) from a health promotion perspective.

This thesis explores the discursive constructions of the contemporary Swedish media debate about gangsta rap, as expressed in three debate articles published in Dagens Nyheter, Aftonbladet and Expressen. The study draws upon the framework of audience theory, moral panic, power and representational practice theory and othering. Through a hybrid discourse analysis, the problem representations and th

This study aimed to provide further understanding of how social workers use their own and client’s emotions in the relationship-based practice of social work. Further, we wanted to explore in which way social workers’ experiences of emotions can be understood as part of their professional practice. The study is based on a qualitative interview with eight social workers from several practices in so

Breviates are free-living, heterotrophic, anaerobic or microaerophilic amoeboflagellate protists, closely related to Opisthokonta. They possess hydrogenosomes, a subtype of anaerobically functioning, hydrogen-producing mitochondrion-related organelle, and the breviate Lenisia limosa has been reported to facultatively establish hydrogenotrophic syntrophy with Arcobacter. We believe that the interac

Lakes with increased water colour levels have been observed in many locations in the northern hemisphere, a phenomenon that is called brownification. The driving components of brownification are dissolved organic matter (DOM) and iron, which are affected by rainfall patterns as a large fraction originates from terrestrial sources. Brownification has many detrimental effects for the ecosystem, amon

Habitat specialists are particularly vulnerable to habitat loss and disturbances because they are adapted to a narrow range of ecological conditions and food sources. The lesser spotted woodpecker is closely linked to attributes of deciduous forests that are negatively affected by intensive management. This is because it is specialised in foraging on wood-living insect larvae found in thin dead br
