The purpose of this study is to examine depression in regard to the shifting paradigms of psychiatry, which could possibly be tied to the shifting economic policies in western society at large. The methodological approach in doing this has been one of studying literature regarding past and present psychiatric paradigms, as well as literature on the economic paradigms of recent history, and interpr

This master thesis studies what happens when the labour market norms and the society norms meet law in the labour law books. Despite "law in the books" ensuring equal treatment of workers and non-discrimination in the access to jobs, research seems to indicate that societal norms play a role when persons try to enter the labour market. This thesis focuses on racial minorities, who are la

To this date, a growing body of scientific literature has emerged focusing on the effects of sport for development programs towards the intended primary beneficiaries. Less is known, however, about the effects on those individuals tasked with delivering those interventions in the field. The use of peer-education for intervention delivery has been widely adopted within the field of sport for develo

This essay studies the Swedish law on dangerous asocial behaviour, lagen om åtgärder mot samhällsfarlig asocialitet (SFS 1964:450). The law was passed during a period of time in Swedish social political history characterized by a growing social state and a greater focus on individual rights than before.

Popular Abstract in English The cell is the basic unit in all organisms. The molecular machinery in cells converts the energy in sunlight or food into a form of energy that the cell can use for physiological processes in the organism. In humans, this molecular machinery is located in the mitochondria; therefore they are often called the power plants of the cell. The molecular machines are actuallyNADH:quinone oxidoreductase, or complex I, is a large membrane bound enzyme in the respiratory chain of living organisms, that has evolved from the combination of smaller functional building blocks. The enzyme has a conserved core structure, comprising 14 protein subunits: Seven subunits protrude from the membrane and contain a flavin and eight iron-sulfur clusters. The remaining seven subunits in

Bakgrund: Sexuell hälsa är starkt förknippad med livskvalitet. Kvinnans sexualitet påverkas och förändras genom hela livet. Förlossning och övergången till att bli förälder innebär en förändring som påverkar den sexuella hälsan. Metod: En kvalitativ intervjustudie med induktiv ansats har genomförts med semistrukturerade intervjuer. Urvalet skedde i sociala medier. Data analyserades med kvalitativ

Clothing evaporative resistance is one of the most important inputs for both the modelling and for standards dealing with thermal comfort and heat stress. It might be determined on guarded hotplates, on sweating manikins or even on human subjects. Previous studies have demonstrated that the thermal manikin is the most ideal instrument for testing clothing evaporative resistance. However, the repea

The national day of Australia is Australia Day; a contentious public holiday that sparks a national debate on identity and multiculturalism every year. There are many different narratives that make up the Australian story, which encapsulates Australia’s diverse and multicultural history. Media plays a pivotal role in the representation of the national narrative; however, evidence of systemic power

The Swiss foreign policy offers a deviant case. Most countries that were neutral during the Cold War have during the last decades become more cooperative, while Switzerland on the other hand still contains a rather stable foreign policy. Because traditional theories in International Politics offer no concrete explanation to this puzzle, I have been oriented towards decision-making theories in dome

This report aims at finding methods for reducing the errors in district heating load forecasts by suggesting a method for online correction of the base forecast. Online correction is generally carried out by utilizing patterns in the historic prediction errors. Traditionally the correction has been made using a correction method detailed by a few governing parameters. Values for these parameters a

This report contains an analysis of major fatal fires. The analysis is carried out using the methodology in the conference article "Learning from real fire incidents - A methodology for case studies." The methodology is used to systematically introduce, analyse and draw joint conclusions of the various events. The aim is to find the key factors leading to the development of the events, i

Right now, the world is facing the largest wave of urban growth in history. The cities depend on nature’s ecosystem to function properly. The aim is to build dense, green and sustainable. In the future we must find new ways to integrate green structure into the cities more efficiently. Green to Grey is a series of paving stones that can host vegetation. The product and the vegetation can flexibly

The aim of this quantitative study was to investigate the relationship between personality traits, motivational types, perceived academic performance and well-being. The data collection was carried out via a digital survey which was answered by university students in Sweden (N=67). The students estimated personality traits, type of motivation, perceived academic performance and well-being through

Since 1766 the principle public access to official documents have been the main rule and secrecy the exception within the Swedish State. During the early 20th century this principle however became challenged by the emerging welfare state and its need to collect integrity sensitive data to achieve its goal of creating equal opportunities for all its citizens. As a result of this development several

The thesis departures from concepts from conflict transformation and resolution literature and peace research in order to analyse the situation in the Northern Region of Ghana and establish the possibilities of work for the Commission on Human Rights and Administrative Justice in the Northern Region. Further, the Paris Principles are studied and the basis for work of national human rights institut

Sporulation in Ashbya gossypii is induced by nutrient-limited conditions and leads to the formation of haploid spores. Using RNA-seq, we have determined a gene set induced upon sporulation, which bears considerable overlap with that of Saccharomyces cerevisiae but also contains A. gossypii-specific genes. Addition of cyclic AMP (cAMP) to nutrient-limited media blocks sporulation and represses the
