I denna artikel analyseras muntligt gestaltade erfarenheter hos 27 överlevande efter kriget i nordvästra Bosnien under 1990-talet. Syftet är att dels beskriva hur de intervjuade framställer det sociala fenomenet «offerskap», dels analysera diskursiva mönster som medverkar i konstruktionen av kategorin «offer». Aktörernas anspråk på statusen «offer» skapar en konkurrens om offerrollen efter kriget.The aim of this article is to analyse verbally portrayed experiences of 27 survivors of the 1990’s war in northwestern Bosnia. My focus is on describing how the interviewees portray the social phenomenon of «victimhood» and on analysing the discursive patterns that contribute to construction of the category «victim». When, after the war, different actors claim this «victim» status, it sparks a com

This paper provides a systematic review of scholarly literature concerning the enforcement of children’s rights in the classroom context and school management. The literature review is based on a systematic review methodology the authors developed drawing on the methods and guidelines used in the medical sciences over the last 15 years. Forty-two articles published between 1990 and 2014 were selec

Solvents are commonly used in pharmaceutical and cosmetic formulations and sanitary products and cleansers. The uptake of solvent into the skin may change the molecular organization of skin lipids and proteins, which may in turn alter the protective skin barrier function. We herein examine the molecular effects of 10 different solvents on the outermost layer of skin, the stratum corneum (SC), usin

Background: Mild induced hypothermia (MIH) was introduced for post cardiac arrest care in Sweden in 2003, based on two clinical trials. This retrospective study evaluated its association with 30-day survival after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) in a Swedish community from 2003 to 2015. Methods: Out of 3680 patients with OHCA, 1100 were hospitalized after return of spontaneous circulation an

Cells of the exocrine pancreas produce digestive enzymes potentially harmful to the intestinal mucosa. Dopamine has been reported to protect against mucosal injury. In looking for the source of dopamine in the small intestine, we found that the duodenal juice contains high levels of dopamine and that the pancreas itself has a high dopamine [and dihydroxyphenylalanine (dopa)] content that does not

Vid tiden för Göteborgs 400-årsjubileum var ordet trygghet på många av göteborgarnas läppar. Göteborgs Stad hade sedan några år inlett ett tydligt fokus på att försöka öka invånarnas trygghet genom projekt som ”Trygg i Göteborg” och genom polisiära insatser för att minska den organiserade brottsligheten. Med tanke på sådana insatser tedde det sig kanske inte underligt att hela 15 procent av de sva

HAMLET (human alpha-lactalbumin made lethal to tumor cells) is a tumoricidal complex consisting of partially unfolded protein and fatty acid, and was first identified in casein fractions of human breast milk. The complex can be produced from its pure components through a modified chromatographic procedure where pre-applied oleic acid binds with partially-unfolded alpha-lactalbumin on the stationar

Lanthipeptides are ribosomally synthesized and post-translationally modified polycyclic peptides. Lanthipeptides that have antimicrobial activity are known as lantibiotics. Accordingly, the discovery of novel lantibiotics constitutes a possible solution for the problem of antibiotic resistance. We utilized the publicly available genome sequences and the bioinformatic tools tailored for the detecti

Encounters between patients in homecare and nursing students are cultural events where students, in principle, are in unknown territory. This study illuminated how nursing students recount (inter)actions in social relations in Danish homecare settings, illustrated by students with a self-appointed immigrant background. The study consisted of semi-structured interviews with eight nursing students.

The study makes an inventory of learning opportunities young people were offered in connection with CEI 2016, one of the annual international conferences organized by the NGO named Caretakers of the Environment International (CEI), which year 2016 took place in Aalborg in Denmark. The learning opportunities offered by this transnational learning community are discussed in relation to some essenti

A large literature documents how intergenerational mobility—the degree to which (dis)advantage is passed on from parents to children—varies across and within countries. Less is known about the origin or persistence of such differences. We show that US areas populated by descendants to European immigrants have similar levels of income equality and mobility as the countries their forebears came from

During 2012 - 2013 a study to evaluate conventional X-ray procedures and patient doses in Klintzi and Novozibkov areas of Bryansk region, Russia, was conducted. X-ray operation parameters included quality assurance of equipment, collection of procedure parameters and clinical practice evaluation. Effective doses were calculated for each selected procedure and dose distributions were established. 7

Purpose: Elevated copeptin, a vasopressin marker, is linked to metabolic disease, and obese rats with low-vasopressin concentration had a decreased risk of liver steatosis. We here investigated the association between copeptin and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and possible differences in copeptin concentration between ethnicities. Methods: In this cross-sectional study of 361 South Afri

Syftet med denna masteruppsats i praktisk teologi, inriktad mot hymnologi, är att undersöka hur psalmförfattarens liv och omvärld påverkar psalmskrivandet av nutida psalmtexter inom Svenska kyrkan, genom kvalitativa intervjuer med några etablerade psalmförfattare. Urvalskriterier för studien var att psalmförfattaren är representerad i Den svenska psalmboken 1986 eller Psalmer i 2000-talet, kan välThe purpose of this master's thesis in practical theology, with a focus on hymnology, is to investigate how the life and environment of hymn writers influence the composition of contemporary hymn texts within the Church of Sweden. This is achieved through qualitative interviews with established hymn writers. The selection criteria for the study included the hymn writer’s representation in the

Purpose: The purpose of this research paper is to study the promotion of non-profitable products by exploring the greater good initiatives of country branding in terms of brand identity and brand image. Design/methodology/approach: The research paper takes a qualitative approach and combines primary and secondary data. The primary data was collected through an interview. The secondary data is bas

Uppsatsens syfte har varit att kritiskt granska den svenska debatten kring DNA-analys för asylsökande barns rätt till familjeåterförening i Sverige och därmed se ifall principen om barnets bästa, definierat i svenska rättsakter, efterföljs. Genom den vägledande domen från Migrationsöverdomstolen den 18 januari 2012 fastslogs att DNA-analys kan användas för att styrka biologiskt släktskap med förälThe aim of this thesis has been to do a critical review on the Swedish debate concerning the use of DNA-tests to secure the rights of asylum-seeking children to be reunited with their families and if the principle of the best interests of the child is followed. The 18th of January 2012, in a precedent ruling, the Swedish Migration Court of Appeal concluded that DNA-test could be used to prove biol

The aim of this study was to examine support given to adult female victims of human trafficking for sexual purposes, by interviewing Swedish professionals within the organisation field. The focus was on how the support given in Sweden is adjusted to meet the women’s needs according to the professionals. We also examined the follow-up within other countries and their collaboration with Swedish orga

The aim of the thesis is to explore the relevance and the values related to physical books for students in the library room. The thesis addresses questions of how students use the physical books in the library room and if the physical books are perceived by the students as a source of formal and informal learning and serendipity. It will also try to find out what impact physical books have on stud

We report the use of multinodal acoustic trapping for high throughput and high capacity capturing of EV's (extracellular vesicles) for quantitative mass spectrometry analysis. The multinode trapping unit was shown to isolate sufficient amount of EV's from dilute biological samples (urine and cell culture supernatant) at flow rates of 500 ul/min within minutes, enabling EV proteome profiling.
