Trots att kunskaperna om och intresset för smärta och smärtlindring har ökat de senaste åren drabbas fortfarande många patienter en inadekvat smärtlindring och många patienter förväntar sig smärta postoperativt. Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka kvinnor i olika åldrar avseende förväntningar och upplevelser av postoperativ smärta och smärtlindring samt hur stor betydelse den preoperativa in
Diarrhoeal disease is the second leading cau- se of death in children under five years old, and is responsible for killing around 525 000 children every year. The spread of diseases is also a problem in our western society. Thanks to our developed me- dical infrastructure not to the extent as in de- veloping countries. Nevertheless the amount of work and school hours missed because of preven
Farm size expansion in some countries in Sub-Saharan Africa, including in Ghana, is a recent phenomenon, and is indicative of the agricultural transformation process taking place in the region. Technology use and adoption level is an integral and complex part of this process, which is studied in relation to the expanding farm sizes and agricultural transformation in this study. It follows an explo
Atmospheric oxygen at the level of present-day Earth (21%) is generally regarded as permissive for the development and survival of complex multicellular life, such as animals. The hypothesis that oxic conditions are conducive for multicellular life has subsequently been applied to the search for life elsewhere in the universe, with planets exhibiting atmospheric oxygen of a similar level to Earth
Extreme geomagnetic variations such as excursions where the magnetic poles shift, and return are not fully understood. 10Be, used as a proxy for the magnetic field studies has been proposed as a compliment to paleomagnetic models, allowing adjustments. LSMOD.2 is a sediment and volcanic based magnetic model encompassing the Laschamps excursion ~41 000 years ago. LSMOD.2 is limited due to lacking d
This research is about unmarried cohabitation in Thailand, a country experiencing rapid economic modernization and social change. The primary aim of this research was to understand "the meaning of living together" in Thai society and societal perception toward this phenomenon from the migrant workers' point of view. The project examined the relationship of migrant workers living toge
This thesis investigates the process of innovation in environmental technology and the role that government interventions can play in fostering this innovation, using a cross-sectoral perspective based on three Nordic sectors - mobile phones, pulp and paper, and buildings. Using an analytical framework based on innovation and environmental policy and their interactions with three preconditions for
Source reduction and source separation are important ingredients for sustainable municipal solid waste management. They facilitate waste reduction and valorisation. However, waste managers find that it is challenging task to promote source reduction and source separation. The situation is even more difficult in developing countries and lack of environmental awareness and lack of public cooperation
This thesis is concerned with the problems that the monopolist is facing under the second-degree price discrimination where he does not possess the complete information about the preferences of the different consumer groups and as result he is not able to recognize different consumers prior to the consumption. The aim is to investigate what is, under those circumstances, the best possible strategy
Det här examensarbetet ger en översikt över organiskt material (kerogen) i Jordens yngre lagrade berggrund och hur detta material omvandlats till olja och naturgas genom olika geologiska processer. De viktigaste är tryck, temperatur och tid. Med fortskridande sedimentpålagring förs det organiskt rika sedimenten successivt ned på större djup, där de genomgår en så kallad mognadsprocess till följd aThe origin, composition and maturity of kerogen, and its conversion to petroleum is reviewed. Various methods for estimating the maximum temperature to which kerogen and potential source rocks were subjected are also reviewed. Several kerogen maturation parameters can be distinguished and grouped into two categories: chemical paleothermometres and biological paleothermometres. Biological paleother
SLU (Sveriges Lantbruksuniversitet) har ett pågående projekt i ett område i södra Skåne sedan 1989 där de studerar hur bekämpningsmedel i åar korrelerar med vad som används på åkrarna. Ett nytt projekt, initierat av SGI (Statens Geotekniska Institut), kallat PEGASUS (PEsticide occurrence in Groundwater, A Study for sustainable Use in Skåne) har påbörjat en undersökning i samma område för att studeSLU (Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences) have had a project ongoing in a catchment area in southern Skåne for 20 years where they study how pesticide occurrence in surface waters correlate to the sort and amount used on the agricultural fields. A new project started by SGI (Swedish Geotechnical Institute) called PEGASUS (PEsticide occurrence in Groundwater, A Study for sustainable Use in

The Children’s Perspectives Supervisor: Bodil Rasmusson Assessors: Åsa Lundqvist & Katarina Jacobsson This study explored the views of orphaned children about how they perceived and described their wellbeing in an orphanage which is located in the rural area of Kole District in Northern Uganda, Eas
In the Maldives tourism dominates the economy directly and indirectly with 70% of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) making the country’s economy heavily dependent on this sector. This should (theoretically) also imply many job opportunities for the Maldivians; however only 3% of the tourism labour force is made up by Maldivian women as opposed to 51% which are Maldivian men. This low number of female w
This thesis aims to explore to what extent internal branding efforts foster the level of understanding necessary to allow a brand to act as the uniting force of a virtual web. We conclude that focusing on recruitment can establish a baseline for brand understanding, but refined communication processes are necessary to facilitate the level of understanding required to encourage web members to actua
Mätningar av vingar och klor av flygödlefossil från museer i Uppsala och München har gjorts för att försöka förklara hur de morfologiska skillnaderna mellan underordningarna Rhamphorhynchoidea och Pterodactyloidea avspeglar sig i flygödlornas flygfunktion och levnadssätt. Exemplaren av flygödlorna som ingår i mätningarna ligger i kalksten och skiffer från Solnhofen, Eichstätt och Holzmaden som avsTo explain how the morphological differences between Rhamphorhynchoidea and Pterodactyloidea affect flight performances and life styles wings and claws of pterosaur fossils from collections in Uppsala and Munich have been measured. The measured specimens are from Jurassic limestones and shales in Solnhofen, Eichstätt and Holzmaden and include Dorygnathus, Campylognathoides, Rhamphorhynchus, Anurog
Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: De fossila bläckfiskarna är insamlade av paleontologen Gustaf Lindström och hans medarbetare under slutet på 1800-talet. De är funna i de äldre nedlagda kalkbrotten vid Samsugns på Gotland och tillhör en större samling som förvaras på Naturhistoriska Riksmuseet. Dessa fossil omfattar såväl arter som släkten och har varit obeskrivna sedan 1800-talet. På senare tiSilurian oncocerid cephalopods, collected by Gustaf Lindström’s and co-workers at the end of the 19th century on the island of Gotland are described. The material is from the Samsugns quarries and found within large thanatocoenoses in the Wenlock Slite Beds. The investigated material comprises two new genera, Patagiumoceras and Simonssonoceras, and five new species, Patagiumoceras urnulum, Patagiu
Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Echinodermerna räknas som en mycket viktig del av den marina faunan. Bland echinodermerna återfinns djur som sjöstjärnor, sjöborrar, ormstjärnor och sjöliljor. Gemensamt för dessa är att de alla byggs upp av ett skelett av mindre delfragment, plåtar, där byggnadskomponenten för själva "skelettet" är kalcit. Kalcit är ett mineral som förekommer som en vPhosphatization of late Early Ordovician echinoderm fragments from N Öland has resulted in excellent preservation of the echinoderm stereom ultra structure. The stereom investigated shows a close relationship to different types found in recent echinoderms. The several different types of phosphatic preservation found have been controlled by diagenetic relationships. The original stereom structures
