Method: The qualitative study used a phenomenological approach. Eight semi-structured interviews were conducted, seven of which were chosen for the study. The participants were young men in the age of 18 to 27 years old, who had undergone talk therapy with a counselor. The interview

Mental illness among Swedish adolescents is increasing, which partly might be a result of an observed increase in stress. Consequently, the number of adolescents seeking and receiving psychiatric care from pediatric psychiatry is higher than ever, and has resulted in a worsened accessibility with longer waiting times for appointments and treatment. As such, preventive care and health promotion int

Syftet med denna experimentella studie var att rikta ett psykologiskt fokus på påverkansmetoden nudging genom att utforska dess förutsättningar, begränsningar och bakomliggande mekanismer. Studien undersökte effektivitet i förhållande till olika typer av nudging baserat på dubbelprocessteorin och olika nivåer av transparens samt dess förhållande till upplevelsen av frihet att välja. Experimentet aThe aim of this experimental study was to put a psychological focus on nudging as a method of influence by exploring its conditions, limitations and underlying mechanisms. The study examined effectiveness in relation to different types of nudging based on the dual process theory and different levels of transparency as well as how transparent nudging affects the experience of freedom of choice.

What is often more important in the international investment agreements between a private investor and the host country is to ensure the investors' economic security in the host country. However, recently, one of the concerns in most of these agreements is human rights. Then one of the host country's obligations is the observance of human rights obligations. The problem is that investors a

This thesis examines how and for what purposes Swedish regional museums are using social media, how they are representing themselves and how they are adapting to the norms and informal standards on social media platforms. The study also examines how the materiality and authenticity of museum collections are portrayed by the museums through social media. By using thematic analysis to examine the s

The aim of this study was to examine the experiences of change in hospital social counselors counseling with patients during the Covid-19 pandemic, based on the topics “use of digital tools” and “the use of infection control equipment and infection control in general”. Furthermore, the study seeks to understand how the change in work methods caused by the Covid-19 pandemic has affected the perceiv

Statistical comparison of single cases to small samples is a methodology that has been extensively used in, for example, cognitive and clinical neuropsychology. This is most often done to determine changes in cognitive processing after an individual has incurred some type of brain damage. In a clinical setting one often wish to infer whether a patient exhibit abnormally low performance on some cog

This master thesis elaborates on the issues of the secondary transfer pricing adjustments that are common yet not regulated in an efficient manner by the states. The core problem of the double taxation issues to follow is the unwillingness of the states to accept the administrative tax decisions of each other in such sensitive fields as transfer pricing. Even though the primary and correlative tra

Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka sambandet mellan mat och skapandet av en kollektiv identitet för svensk-iranier i Sverige. Forskningsfrågorna kretsar kring vad den iranska matkulturen omfattar enligt informanterna, vad den har för betydelse för informanterna, om svensk-iranier känner samhörighet till följd av delad matkultur och om de anser att det är viktigt att föra vidare den iranska

This paper investigates sin stock characteristics through relative return performance compared to the global market index MSCI World, defining stock defensiveness towards market movements (i.e. recession resistance) and abnormal amounts of excess returns. This was achieved by constructing a sin stock portfolio; SINDEX, containing stocks from the alcohol, tobacco, gambling, weapons and defence, fos

This thesis looks at labour market mechanisms for 13 advanced countries and narrows down the focus to the Swedish labour market during the Covid-19 crisis. We concluded that short term unemployment benefits are correlated with a decrease in the unemployment rate while trade union density and public unemployment spending for a longer period is correlated with an increased unemployment rate. The the

This paper examines the ‘why’ and ‘how’ of cynical perceptions towards employee development through qualitative research. Based on a case study, data were gathered through 25 semi-structured interviews with both managers and subordinates at a company within the telecommunication industry. The empirical findings have been studied using the literature topics of strategic human resource management, n

In the cold and dark countries of Scandinavia, light is a precious thing. Furthermore in recent years cycling has become an increasingly popular means of transportation in Scandinavia. The common use of bikes in these dark landscapes results in a high demand on bike lights. An issue is that people have their bike lights stolen. Therefore “be seen” bike lights, that are meant to be attached

Proteiner som hjälper andra proteiner att bevara deras struktur genom att binda in till dem kallas chaperoner. Chaperonet DNAJB6 (se figur nedan) finns bland annat i människokroppen och hjälper till att hindra vissa aggregeringsbenägna peptider, som amyloid-β, från att aggregera till fibriller. Fibriller av amyloid-β är kopplade till neurodegenerativa sjukdomar så som Huntington och Alzheimer. I fThe chaperone DNAJB6 can suppress fibril formation of amyloid-β. This is dependent on functionally important conserved serine (S) and threonine (T) residues located in a C-terminal domain which is dominated by β-strands. Substitution of the conserved ST-residues with alanine residues results in loss of this function. In this thesis two DNAJB6 mimic constructs are examined to see whether or not the

Covid19 pandemin har inneburit stora utmaningar för psykisk hälsa globalt, dels på grund av begränsningar som införts för att minska smittspridningen såsom social distansering, men också rädslan som följer att leva under oroliga tider. Tidigare studier har bidragit till förklaringar av covid19’s effekter på psykisk hälsa genom att fokusera på antingen personlighetsbaserade eller kontextuella faktoThe covid19 pandemic has presented great challenges to mental health globally, in part due to restrictions implemented in the wake of the pandemic; such as social distancing, but also due to the fear and psychological distress associated with living during times of crisis. Prior studies have contributed to explaining covid19’s effects on mental health by addressing either personality-based or cont

This thesis focuses on representation modes among Italian political activists, engaged in multiple fights against globalization and neo-capitalism, by illustrating how participants in the Italian no-global movement build their identity. Through a number of interviews and participant observation, which build the empirical ground of this study, the activist and the group are juxtaposed, their role i

Alzheimers sjukdom är en av de vanligaste neurodegenerativa sjukdomarna som leder till demens. Symptom av sjukdomen är bland annat minnesförlust och en försämrad kognitiv förmåga, vilket orsakas av att nervcellerna i hjärnan dör på grund av aggregering av olika peptider. En av dessa peptider, som aggregerar genom att först bilda toxiska oligomerer och sedan amyloida fibriller, är amyloid-β (Aβ). PThe molecular chaperone DNAJB6 has conserved serine (S) and threonine (T) residues, which are crucial for its ability to efficiently suppress amyloid formation of aggregation-prone amyloidogenic peptides. Substitution of the conserved ST-residues with alanine residues results in loss of this function. These functionally important conserved ST-residues are located in a C-terminal domain, which is c

The purpose of the study is to investigate caregivers' experiences of motivational work under limited conditions for physical meetings with patients who have addiction problems. The intention was to gain a deeper understanding of what advantages and disadvantages this has entailed. Qualitative content analysis of semi-structured interviews was performed.
