The aim of the study was to investigate young people’s attitudes towards people with mental illness. A questionnaire “Stereotypes and facts about mental illness-what do you think about it? School survey” especially developed for adolescents were used. Seventy-three pupils at a high school with health profile at the age of 15-19 participated. The selection consisted to a larger proportion of female

This report contains a study of the deflections of prefabricated reinforced concrete slabs in an effort to obtain acceptable span lengths. The objective of the report is to investigate the parameters that affect deflections and to determine whether it is possible to increase the standard span of these slabs without changing structural properties such as depth, width or the quality of concrete and

As multi-storey buildings with wooden framework are being build, constructors are faced with problems like, for instance, deformation of the wood, that is barely noticeable in a smaller house, but significant in larger buildings. Largest deformations of the wood occur w hen wood with a high original moisture content is loaded perpendicular to the grain and simultaneous allo w ed to dry, for instan

The purpose of this master thesis is to investigate effects of warping and distortion in thin-walled box-girder bridges, see figure below. The master thesis deals with a number of different analytic methods, which are compared to finite element models. Transverse distortional bending moments and direct stresses, caused by torsional and distortional warping, is determined by analytic methods. Simpl

Sammanfattning: Detta arbete består av tre mer eller mindre självständiga delar. I den första delen presenteras de olika systemen för utvinning och lagring av naturvärme. De två andra delarna innehåller en regional och lokal kartläggning, där tillgångarna bedöms. Valda områden är Kalmar län respektive Västerviks kommun. Naturen omkring oss kan användas både för utvinning och lagring av värme. Med

Background: Angioedema is a rare and serious adverse drug reaction (ADR) to angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor treatment. Dry cough is a common side effect of ACE inhibitors and has been identified as a possible risk factor for angioedema. Objective: We compared characteristics between patients with ACE inhibitor–induced angioedema and cough with the aim of identifying risk factors that

Today, commercially used brasses commonly contain 2 to 4 wt.% lead. As the availability of low-lead and lead-freebrass increase, there are environmental incentives for investigating the consequences of replacing thelead-containing brasses with lead-free equivalents. Generally, lead-free brass is expected to have a lowermachinability than its lead-alloyed counterpart, implying a higher manufacturin

Introduction: The purpose of the study was to elucidate the association between smoking and estradiol (E2) and testosterone (T) levels in young healthy women from highrisk families. Cigarette smoke contains multiple carcinogens and is considered a risk factor for breast cancer. However, tobacco also contains aromatase inhibiting substances, but the impact on hormonal levels in young women at the a
