The purpose of this essay is to validate the standardized selfreport questionnaire Children´s Sense of Coherence (CSOC). This questionnaire is sprung from Antonovsky's salutogenic theory and aimed at measuring children's sense of coherence, which is looked upon as an ability to chose the most suitable strategies in coping with problem situations. In order to ensure the validity of this que

Trade Unions are finding it increasingly challenging to appeal to employees and all trade unions alike are encountering new challenges to attract and retain members. Additionally a more diversified and educated labor market is creating demands for trade unions to better meet individual needs. The purpose of this study was to explore and analyze the role of branding in Unionen, the largest white-co

I samband med askmolnet under våren 2010 ställdes flertalet arbetsgivare inför problematiken hur arbetstagares frånvaro skulle hanteras. Uppsatsen redogör vilken arbetsrättslig reglering som finns när det gäller frånvaro orsakat av en force majeure situation, samt hur några utvalda organisationer tillämpade dessa regler i samband med askmolnet. Den belyser även hur regleringen skiljer sig beroende

Autoimmune thyroid disease (AITD) is associated with other autoimmune endocrine diseases such as type 1 diabetes (T1D) and celiac disease (CeD). Thyroid peroxidase autoantibodies (TPOA) are biomarkers of AITD but may also occur in patients with other autoimmune diseases. We examined cross-sectional correlations between TPOA and an array of immune markers in a cohort of 90 children with exclusively

Background: Alcohol use disorder (AUD) is associated with an enormous burden of disease and cost to society. The dopamine deficiency hypothesis posits that negative reinforcement generated by a low brain dopamine state drives ethanol intake. Here, we evaluated the efficacy and safety of combined administration of two dopamine-enhancing drugs, varenicline (a partial nicotinic acetylcholine receptor

In some languages, prosodic cues on word stems can be used to predict upcoming suffixes. Previous studies have shown that second language (L2) users can process such cues predictively in their L2 from approximately intermediate proficiency. This ability may depend on the mapping of the L2 prosody onto first language (L1) perceptual and functional prosodic categories. Taking as an example the Danis

Introduction: The climate and biodiversity crises are interconnected, unprecedented, existential threats that cause disturbing emotions, such as anxiety, grief, and anger. While there is increasing research about antecedents and outcomes of such eco-emotions, less is known about how to cope with them constructively, to benefit both mental health and pro-environmental action. Objectives: This study

The increasing global concern for greenhouse gas emissions has led to a fast pace in the transition away from fossil fuels in the transport sector. The share of electric passenger cars is increasing quickly, introducing new loads on the power grid. These loads primarily appear at the distribution grid level, where most of the charging occurs in the form of overnight charging at home. Although the

Despite being the leading cause of death worldwide, cancer still lacks precise biomarkers for effective targeting, limiting efforts to reduce mortality rates. This review explores the role and clinical significance of a newly identified long non-coding RNA, MYOSLID, in cancer progression. MYOSLID has emerged as a critical modulator in cancer progression by influencing key hallmarks such as prolife

Climate change is considered to be among the most serious threats to the sustainability of the world's environment, the health and well being of its people and the global economy. The rising levels of greenhouse gases in the global atmosphere are expected to cause a rise in global temperatures. In Kyoto, December 1997, the Kyoto Protocol was written under which industrialised countries have ad

The 17th September 2001 the distributor Schenker started to cooperate with the computer systems manufacturer Dell to deliver Dell's products to the Nordic market. In the beginning of a new cooperation new processes are formed and they are often developed to solve the local, immediate problems without considering the overall picture. In the distribution network from Dell's plants in Ire
