Vår kultur är i hög grad en terapeutisk kultur; i teve, radio, på Internet och i tidningar pågår terapier av olika slag. Bland dessa är parterapin en av de mer populära. Syftet med den här uppsatsen är att undersöka en samtida diskurs om kärlek. För detta används en Foucault-orienterad förståelse av diskurs och makt, och sociologiska teorier om individualisering och kärlek. I en diskursanalys av b
Streams in Norrbotten County, near the coast of the Gulf of Bothnia in northern Sweden, suffer from recurrent episodes of low pH and high metal concentrations, which have resulted in fish kills and cadmium levels exceeding environmental quality standards defined in the EU Water Framework Directive. The cause of these acid episodes is that sulfide sediments, which are quite common under the highest
A great part of the soil remediation projects in Sweden today are being carried out on heterogeneous contaminated areas where for example industrial activities have been going on for a long time. In many cases waste from the industrial processes have been dumped or spread out on the property, and there is no pattern in the occurrence of contaminants. The distribution of the concentration of the co
Within the field of ecotoxicology there is a concept called combination effects. There are two different approaches to combination effects, independent action (IA) and concentration addition (CA). The common assumption in both approaches is that there are no interactions between the substances within the mixture. These approaches are used for predicting the toxicity of whole mixtures and also to e
This master thesis started off as a project to build a product platform for the product category of built-in ovens with the Swedish white goods brand Cylinda. But as a part of Cylinda’s work in adapting a new brand value platform this thesis also became a part of the process of adding the brand value in to the products without moving away too much from the present product range of built-in ovens b
Endocrine disruption from synthetic human estrogens in molluscs has not been investigated as closely as in vertebrates. This has led to a missing piece in the important puzzle investigating the differences in effects between diverse animal groups after exposure to endocrine disrupting chemicals, EDCs. The Mollusca is one of the largest phyla in the world and the different species can be found in m
Unsustainable consumption and production patterns is one of the main contributors to environmental degradation and one of the key areas are food consumption together with housing and transport. Because of the retailers strategic position between the consumers and producers they are appointed a key role in the transition to more sustainable consumption. The purpose of this study is to contribute to
Many streams in Scania have been regulated to increase the agricultural potential. Erosion of suspended particles and leakage of nutrients have increased, which gives a higher turbidity in streams. Water samples have been taken in Stream Segeå which has very turbid water. Samples have been taken both in the stream and inflowing ditches, to investigate where particles come from. The stream is very

Patienter som vårdas på intensivvårdsavdelning får ofta sedering. Genom att använda sederingsskalor och införa rutiner kan översedering undvikas och tid i respirator och vårdtid minskas. RASS är en sederingsskala som nyligen blivit översatt till svenska och som nu används på flera svenska intensivvårdsavdelningar. Denna retrospektiva journalstudie undersökte följsamheten till sederingsrutiner på e
Sverige behöver ett förbättrat konsumentkreditskydd. Fler sms-lån än någonsin har hittills i år hamnat i Kronofogdemyndighetens register som obetalda. Konsumenternas skydd är i stort sett verkningslöst, många sms-långivare missköter kreditupplysningarna och ger ut lån till människor som redan är skuldsatta. Förslag till förbättringar för konsumenternas skydd på sms-lånemarknaden finns. Nu återstårSweden needs an improved consumer credit protection. More SMS-loans than ever, so far this year has ended up in Kronofogdemyndighetens records for unpaid SMS-loans. Consumer protection is very ineffective; many SMS-lenders mismanage credit checks and give out loans to people who are already in debt. Proposed improvements to consumer protection on the SMS-loan market exist. Now it only remains to s

Uppsatsen behandlar idiotbegreppet och vilken påverkan förståelsen för begreppet har, för förståelsen av protagonisten och följaktligen, romanen. Stort fokus läggs också p
New Zealand director Peter Jackson’s film style is primarily focused on a technical level. Special effects and progressive filmmaking are some of Jackson’s main characteristics. His trial and error methods have enabled him to be independent and inventive, resulting in unconventional techniques and original technology. Much of the research made on Jackson and The Lord of the Rings treat subjects l
Sex addiction is a term that was introduced during the 1980s. Since then it has caused a long-standing debate about whether or not it should be an official diagnosis and the psychology and sexology groups are split. It is regarded similar to alcohol and drug addiction while there is also another group of researchers and therapists who argue for a disorder distinguished from the concept of addictio
In Deuteronomy the triad of gēr (sojourner), yātôm (the fatherless) and ‘almānâ (widow) is frequently cited. In my essay I explore the reason for its recurrence and come to the conclusion that the author of Deuteronomy attached the group gēr with the almānâ and yātôm – two grups that were traditionally regarded as vulnerable in Ancient Near Eastern societies. My explanation to the frequent mention
This paper is a critical discourse analysis aiming to examine how the Migration Court in Malmö uses children's own reasons for asylum and the concept of the best interest of the child in a selected number of decisions from January to March 2012th. We have investigated how the court formulates its decisions in order to under¬stand if a child’s claim for asylum is tested on its own merits and ho

Igenkänningsminne brukas beskrivas utifrån två typer av processer, familiarity som kännetecknas av en bekanthetskänsla utan framplockning av detaljer och recollection där detaljer kopplade till inlärningstillfället kan erThe fact that people in general tend to remember faces from their own ethnic group better than faces from other groups is a well-known phenomenon, called the otherethnicity effect. Recognition memory is commonly described as based on two processes, familiarity characterised by a sense of knowing without remembering details, and recollection, where details related to the original learning event can
