Bakgrund: Utbrändhet har blivit ett populärt ämne som det forskas allt mer på. Internationellt har många studier om läkares utbrändhet gjorts och de har visat att läkare har en hög nivå av utbrändhet. Dessa studier samt andra studier inom stressforskningen har visat på att det finns många olika orsaker som kan leda till stress och utbrändhet. Mycket lite forskning är dock gjord på svenska läkare fTheory: Burnout has become a popular research field with lots of studies being done within the area. Internationally, many studies on physician burnout have been made and they show that physicians have a high level of burnout.

This Master’s thesis project concerns developing statistical methods to examine sea level data provided by the Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute (SMHI). The data comes from sea level gauges located in the harbours of Uddevalla, Ängelholm and Åhus along the Swedish coast.

I takt med utbyggnaden av vindkraft har artskydd av fåglar blivit en ofta förekommande fråga i tillståndsprövningarna. I dessa förefaller 4 § artskyddsförordningen medföra tolknings- och tillämpningsproblem. Enligt dess ordalydelse ska bestämmelsen nämligen tillämpas på alla vilda fåglar, oavsett art, samt på vissa djurarter. Bestämmelsen föreskriver bland annat förbud mot att avsiktligt döda och In line with the expansion of wind power projects species protection of birds has become a frequent issue in permit procedures. In this context section 4 of the Species Protection Ordinance (2007:845) appears to result in difficulties when interpreted and applied. According to the provision, it should apply to all wild birds, regardless species, and some animal species. The provision stipulates, i

I have studied the results that Stanislav Grof reports from his research into nonordinary states of consciousness induced by LSD. The focus has been on the transpersonal domain, which mediates experiential identification with other species and mythic figures, visits to archetypical realms, access to past life memories, and union with the cosmic creative principle. Many of these experiences have a

The current literature on community-based natural resource management (CBNRM) programmes in Sub-Saharan Africa is mostly concerned with discussing the failure of the programme. This is mainly done from a Western perspective with the underlying assumption that Western institutions need to be in place in order for CBNRM to become successful. This leads to the question of whether the underlying assum

This increased understanding, if addressed, should lead to higher staff retention and improved working (living) conditions for employees. A theoretical model to capture these factors was proposed. Method: A qualitative and exploratory approach was applied in this stu

Popular science summary: How do bacteria divide? Cell division is an absolute requirement for proliferation of all bacteria and results in the bacterium being split into two by a septum. FtsZ is a protein that plays a key role in bacterial cell division. In this project, one part of the FtsZ protein was investigated with genetic methods to understand how it affects the division process. Previou

The title, “for she loved much”, stems from Luke 7:47.
