Background: Less than half of patients with major depressive disorder (MDD) respond to their first antidepressant trial. Our understanding of the underlying mechanisms of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) remains poor, and there is no reliable method of predicting treatment response. Methods: Thirty-seven MDD subjects and 41 healthy controls, somatically healthy and medication-free f

The holistic perspective of palliative care is sometimes contrasted with the usual medical focus on organ failure and disease. Palliative consultation teams provide specialist palliative care competencies for staff caring for patients in primary care, nursing homes and in hospitals. Efforts to increa

Antologin ger en bred bild av socialt arbete i civilsamhället, som både ”röst” och ”service”, och i olika grad av organiserade former. Här synliggörs både vad vi kallar ”Vi- för-dem”- organisationer som har hemlöshet, vård och arbetsträning på sin agenda, liksom ”Vi-för-oss”- organisationer såsom kvinnojourer och verksamheter som samlar människor med psykisk skörhet eller annan funktionsvariation.

I tidigare studier har det visats att examinationen i hög grad styr hur studenterna kommer att studera under en kurs. Därför är det viktigt att examinationen inte bara testar ytliga kunskaper och beräkningsförmåga, utan även förståelse. I denna artikel diskuteras olika sätt att utvärdera studenternas förståelse genom att analysera resultaten på skriftliga tentamina. En fallstudie på Institutionen

Denna avhandling undersöker utvecklingen av en tio års engagemang av tillgänglighet i utemiljön. Denna undersöks från två perspektiv; samhällets utmaning och användarens uppfattning. Äldre personer och personer med funktionshinder ska ha lika möjligheter att använda transportsystemet som andra människor. Deras tillgång till transportsystemet är dock ofta begränsad på grund av fysiska hinder i utemIn an inaccessible outdoor environment, older people and people with disabilities can experience environmental barriers. The environmental barriers can restrict them and their abilities to walk. Environmental barriers can be avoided by designing the outdoor environment to meet the needs of older people and people with disabilities. This thesis focuses on accessibility in Sweden from two perspectiv
