Att drabbas av en kritisk sjukdom och vårdas på intensivvårdsavdelning är en traumatisk upplevelse som både patient och anhöriga bär med sig under lång tid. Denna studie utgår från ett patientperspektiv där individens subjektiva upplevelse studeras. Syftet var att belysa intensivvårdspatienters upplevelser av återhämtning efter utskrivning från sjukhuset. En kvalitativ intervjustudie genomfördes o
This thesis is about how social movements write history. Sooner or later most social movements decide to write their own history, even though this is in no way included in their original ambition. Why is that, and what can we learn from it? To make this study possible I have chosen to study the labour movement in Sweden, and its two biggest archives, the ones in Stockholm and Malmö. The periodical
Faro- och riskidentifiering i råvatten - förbises alarmerande miljögifter? I ett land som Sverige borde man kunna känna sig trygg med att myndigheter och dricksvattenproducenter uppbjudit alla krafter för att garantera ett rent dricksvatten. Av denna studie verkar det som att så inte är fallet och att systemet som ska förebygga miljögifter i dricksvatten är för ostrukturerat och oprioriterat. MeThis study examines drinking water producer’s performance of hazard and risk analyses and how they take emerging chemicals into account. The high-profile cases in 2011-2013 with PFOS contaminating drinking water in Kallinge, Botkyrka and Uppsala highlighted the problem of emerging chemicals in sources of drinking water. Through literature study and analysis of performed hazard and risk analyses fr
The purpose of this study is to examine digital information loss at three Swedish archives. Digital preservation is a complex issue and something most archival institutions struggle with today. While there is merit in focussing on successes in this struggle, doing so to the exclusion of failures runs the risk of creating a blind spot for existing problems. We hope that this study will contribute t
Several digital technologies are now available to record and document archaeological excavations. A large number of studies have been published concerning the use of laser scanning, image based 3D modelling and GIS. By integrating different typologies of 3D data from Uppåkra, an Iron Age central place in southern Sweden, this thesis focuses on the development and evaluation of how 3D Geographic In
Denna studie anlägger ett diskurs- och fältteoretiskt perspektiv i syfte att förstå hur offentliga organisationer hanterar spänningen mellan deras till synes oundvikliga interna motsättningar och ambitionen att integrera kommunikationen. Malmö stads samordning i syfte att tala med en röst i relation till det så kallade ”Sorgenfrilägret” studerades som fall. Administrativa tjänstemän och lokalpolitDrawing upon discourse and field theory, this study sets out to understand how public organisations manage the tension between inherent internal contradictions and the ambition to integrate their communications. Malmö city’s work coordi-nating the city’s communication in relation to the so called ‘Sorgenfri camp’ was studied as a case. Administrative employees and local politicians involved with t
During steady state, the intestinal immune system functions to maintain the bowel’s physiological function in the face of constant bombardment by environmental materials (potentially infectious agents, commensal bacteria and foreign proteins). Immune responses thus maintain a delicate balance between immunogenicity against harmful invading pathogens and tolerance of the harmless diet and commensal
Femtosecond pulse shaping is a versatile tool that enables the generation of ultrashort laser pulses with nearly arbitrary temporal shapes. Among others, the technique is of use in ultrafast spectroscopy experiments where it can be employed for dispersion control and the generation of well-defined laser pulse sequences. In this work, a Fourier-transform pulse shaper based on a pixelated liquid crys
This paper investigates the linkages between stock markets of the United States and the Greater China Economic Area including China mainland, Hong Kong and Taiwan. In order to find the effects of the 2008 global financial crisis, we use the weekly stock market indices of Standard and Poor’s 500, Dow Jones China 88, Hang Seng and Taiwan Stock Exchange Weighted for each stock market from January, 20
This master’s thesis is a discourse analysis of a media debate, which mainly took place in the summer of 2015, concerning disturbing situations caused by patrons in public libraries. In the early stages of the debate a lot of attention was spent on defining the patrons causing violent and threatening situations towards librarians and other patrons. Soon the media debate also came to focus on what
This thesis investigates the determinants of tax morale by assessing different channels of tax morale identified in the previous literature. Survey data from the World Values Survey and the European Values Study is combined, and complemented by aggregated data on governance, tax burden and GDP per capita. The data is analysed primarily using ordered probit estimation. Several other estimation meth
Bostäder och lokaler utgör 39 % av Sveriges totala energiomsättning. Enligt EU-direktiv; ”Direktivet om Energieffektivisering”, 2012/27/EU ska energiomsättningen i fastigheter minska med 20 % fram till år 2020. För att detta mål ska kunna nås behöver befintliga fastigheter och nyproduktion börja energioptimeras. I befintliga byggnader görs detta genom en energikartläggning följt av en energieffektToday, residential and facilities represents 39 % of Sweden’s total energy turnover. According to EU directives; "The Directive on Energy Efficiency", 2012/27 / EU the energy turnover shall decrease by 20 % until 2020. To achieve this goal, the existing properties and new construction need to be energy optimized. In existing buildings this is done by an energy audit followed by energy ef
En procent av alla barn i Sverige har ett medfött hjärtfel som ofta kräver en kirurgisk korrigering. De senaste femtio åren har vi sett en kraftig ökning i användandet av evidensbaserad medicin för att upptäcka och behandla medfödda hjärtfel. Detta har varit mycket lyckat men behandlingar är inte anpassade efter individuella behov. På grund av detta har patientspecifik medicin tillkommit som en föOne percent of children have a congenital heart disease, often requiring surgical corrections. The last fifty years have seen a sharp increase in the use of evidence based medicine to identify and treat congenital heart diseases. This has been highly successful but treatments are not customized for individual patients. Because of this, patient specific medicine has emerged as an improvement where
Purpose: To explore the phenomenon of silent dissatisfied customers in an online context. Theoretical perspective: In addition to the strategic brand management a customer perspective is grasped. Furthermore, the study explores areas related to service recovery and consumer behaviour. Methodology: We apply an explorative approach in the form of a case study of silent dissatisfied customers from
This research indicates that wellness initiatives at Improve Digital started as an experiment and evolved into a managerial strategy. Employees see wellness culture within the organization as a reflection of founders and as their strategy to attract and retain employees, create a strong brand image, to motivate employees, and to restrain them. We question if corporate wellness is a managerial stra
Du lyssnade säkert på Johan Rockströms sommarprat förra året. Hans radioprogram vände upp och ner på de flestas uppfattning om klimatkrisen. I samband med klimattoppmötet i Paris tog klimatet och miljön upp mycket plats i media. Vilket inte bara är bra, utan fantastiskt. Att kunskap om vad vi gör med vår planet sprids något av det viktigaste vi har att jobba med för tillfället. Med min studie påviOur planet is facing the largest loss of biodiversity since the extinction of dinosaurs (Chiante, 2016). This great loss will affect our ecosystems which in turn means that humankind and our needs are affected. It is therefore important to know what factors affect the allocation of resources between species. In the future this will decide how the conservation work for different species will turn o
Klockan fem på morgonen den 23 augusti år 1900 avrättades den dödsdömde fången Lars Nilsson på länsfängelset i Malmö genom halshuggning. Det var sista gången i Skåne och tredje sista gången i Sverige som staten ansåg sig ha rätten att verkställa det ultimata kroppsstraffet: att en dömd mördare fick plikta med sitt liv. Nilsson hade mördat butiksbiträdet Katarina Romare i Löderup utanför Ystad två
Denna studie undersöker och problematiserar kommunikatörers föreställningar om mångkulturell kommunikationskompetens. Begreppet tar sin utgångspunkt i det mångkulturella samhället, men det saknas diskussion om vad begreppet innebär. Med utgångspunkt i föreställningar om kulturbegreppet och genom en kvalitativ fallstudie har jag via intervjuer undersökt hur kommunikatörer i Malmö stad konstruerar mThis study examines and problematizes the perceptions of multicultural communication competence amongst communicators. The concept derives from the multicultural society, but there is a lack of discussion of what the term means. Based on the concept of culture I have through interviews examined how communicators in Malmö stad construct multicultural communication competence. Through a critical dis
