Evidence in practice The aim of this study was to discover what professionals within alcohol- and drug abuse care think about alternative treating methods in comparison to evidence based care. Also, the aim was to discover if the professionals think differently about this matter depending of their professional role within the organization. To discover this, the study was based on four qualitative

The presented thesis focuses on dynamics of capital structure decisions of financially constrained and unconstrained firms listed on Stockholm Stock Exchange. It examines the effect of the global financial crisis on the corporate financing decision. The first chapter introduces the topic, discusses its importance and outlines the contribution to the empirical research. The second chapter the relev

Nya behandlingar har implementerats i Sverige för att minska antalet personer med självskadebeteende. En av dessa behandlingar är Emotion Regulation Group Therapy (ERGT). Syftet med denna studie var att utforska sex patienters upplevelser av att genomgå ERGT och vilka förändringar i såväl mående som psykiatriska symptom (mätt med Deliberate Self-Harm Inventory, Depression Anxiety Stress Scale och

Humlor behövs i staden – men vad krävs för att de ska trivas? Humlor är viktiga pollinatörer och utan de skulle pollineringen av våra grödor, bärbuskar och andra vilda växter bli sämre och därmed ge en sämre skörd. De senaste decennierna har humlor påverkats negativt av det intensiva jordbruket och den pågående urbaniseringen i och med att många naturliga miljöer har försvunnit. För att gynna humLand-use changes have led to a decline in suitable habitats for bumblebees, which may affect pollination of crops and wild flowers. Urban green areas such as parks and private gardens have the potential to favor bumblebees and it is thus important to understand how such areas should be designed. The aim with this study is to investigate what is needed to favor bumblebees in the urban environment,

Högerpopulismen är på frammarsch i Europa, nu med en mer omfattande propagandaarsenal än någonsin, i vilken det senaste vapnet är de allt mer populära opinionssajterna. Uppsatsen undersöker hur narrativ konstrueras i högerpopulistiska opinionssajters nyhetstexter och hur dessa förändras över tid. Fallet består av 26 nyhetsartiklar publicerade på den svenska högerpopulistiska opinionssajten, Avpixl

This paper explores the value of judiciously used L1-to-L2 translation in meaning-focused, advanced-level academic language (L2) education. It examines the teacher-led discourse (TLD) arising when translation tasks were used and compares it to the TLD engendered when four other grammar-focused tasks were used with three different groups of students within a functioning university course in English

Insulin resistance results in compensatory increase in insulin secretion to maintain normoglycemia. Conversely, high insulin sensitivity results in reduced insulin secretion to prevent hypoglycemia. The mechanisms for this inverse adaptation are not well understood. We utilized highly insulin sensitive mice, due to adipocyte specific overexpression of the FOXC2 transcription factor, to study mecha

Inhibition of dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) by vildagliptin prevents degradation of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and reduces glycemia in type 2 diabetes, with low risk for hypoglycemia and no weight gain. Vildagliptin binds covalently to the catalytic site of DPP-4, eliciting prolonged enzyme inhibition. This raises intact GLP-1 levels, both after meal ingestion and in the fasting state. Vilda

The development of new therapies for the treatment of type 2 diabetes requires robust, reproducible and well validated in vivo experimental systems. Mice provide the most ideal animal model for studies of potential therapies. Unlike larger animals, mice have a short gestational period, are genetically similar, often give birth to many offspring at once and can be housed as multiple groups in a sin

OBJECTIVES: To examine whether the decrease in IMT progression rate in the carotid bulb induced by metoprolol CR/XL treatment (25mg once daily) observed in the β-blocker Cholesterol-lowering Asymptomatic Plaque Study (BCAPS) was accompanied by an effect on carotid plaque echogenicity. METHODS: Gray scale median (GSM) in carotid plaques, used as a score of echogenicity, was measured at baseline and

Background: Discoid lupus erythematosus (DLE) is restricted to the skin, mostly the face, often chronic and disfiguring. Standard medical therapies include topical corticosteroids and antimalarials. This is a retrospective long-term follow-up of refractory DLE treated with different lasers and intense pulsed light (IPL). Methods and materials : Sixteen patients with histologically confirmed DLE pa

The aim of the study is to analyze how the concept of sportswashing is understood within the context of international championship, as a tool for authoritarian states to legitimize anti-democratic values. To achieve this, a case study was made illustrating how the concept of sportswashing can be understood, both in theory and in practice, in connection to the FIFA World Cup 2022 in Qatar. Addition

Purpose: Small-bites suturing technique for laparotomy closure is now recommended as the standard of care. However, uptake of the practice remains slow. A medical technology called the SutureTOOL has been developed which can facilitate implementation of small-bites. The aim of the study was to compare the economic and clinical outcomes of laparotomy closure for patients using manual needle-driver

Studiens syfte är att primärt att ta reda på vilka behov musiklärare på en gymnasieskola har av fortbildning kring jämställdhet, genus och normkritik i ensembleundervisning. I ett vidare perspektiv syftar också studien till att utgöra grunden för ett normkritiskt fortbildningsmaterial riktat till lärare i ensemble. Bakgrunden till studien bygger på att det svenska samhället år 2014 fortfarande bri
