Vår närmaste stjärna: Solen

Vår stjärna, Solen, uppehåller livet här på vår planet och utan den vore vi inte här. Solen sitter i solsystemets centrum och innehåller mestadelen av solsystemets massa. Men nu när vårt samhälle litar sig mer och mer på teknologi måste vi hålla ett vakande öga på solen. Solstormar och rymdväder kan slå ut våra satelliter och även elförsörjningen här på marken.Vi tittar tillbaka och pratar om hur Our star, the Sun, supports all life on this planet and without it we would not be here. The Sun is the heart of our Solar System. But now that our society becomes more and more technological dependent we do need to monitor it closely because solar storms and space weather can affect our satellites in space and even our electronics here on the ground. Travel back to the beginning of time and exper

The meaning of social adaptation after solid organ transplantation

The aim of this study was to investigate the meaning of social adaptation among solid organ transplant recipients one year after transplantation.

Returns to Education in South Africa: Evidence from the National Income Dynamics Study

We utilize two waves of the National Income Dynamics Study in South Africa to estimate the returns to education in 2010 and 2012.

The policy implications include a sugg

Wishing for deburdening through sustainable control after bariatric surgery

The meaning of awaiting bariatric surgery

Background:The understanding of the association between the objective conditions of health and the subjective perceptions of morbidly obese patients appears to be poor. The use of objective indicators alone produces results totally unrelated to the feelings and experiences of the bariatric patients studied. No study has approached the bariatric patient from both an inside and a preoperative perspe

Factors and conditions that have an impact in relation to a successful implementation and maintenance of individual care plan.

Background: The gap between what is stated in legislation about written individualized nursing care plans (ICP) and how they are used in practice is still too wide.Aim: To explore attitudes and experiences among nurses and managers in order to capture which factors and conditions impact on the successful implementation of individual care plans within hospital care, as well as the strategies that w
