Self-reported annoyance from electrical equipment has been in evidence since the mid-eighties, and the first reports of illness from everyday chemicals arose already in the 1960?s. However, the extent of the problem or the mechanisms behind the development of environmentally related annoyance has not yet been fully established. Increased vulnerability to stress has been suggested to be a possible
The primary ambition of this doctoral thesis is to provide an empirical basis for a better understanding of reading disability among school children. The current consensus in the research community is that most disabled readers fail in the acquisition of fast, accurate and automatic word recognition. The thesis includes a number of studies where normal and disabled readers are compared on various
This dissertation has a dual purpose. Firstly to describe what funeral directors do and how they experience their work. Secondly to see if, and in that case how, funeral directors influence rites around the deceased, both official as well as more private rites. The study is based on text analysis, interviews with 32 funeral directors and field studies on four funeral parlours. Only funeral directo
The phenomenon of stress is often illustrated by means of the demand-control-support model, a model that has inspired many research efforts in the area of psychosocial work environment. According to the model, work that is characterised by high demands, low decision latitude and low social support affects aversively health and well-being. Work control and social support may on the other hand act a
During the last decades, the distribution and abundance of many European species of birds, plants and insects in agricultural landscapes have declined due to agricultural intensification. To be able to mitigate these declines, it is essential to know the relative importance on local and regional ecological processes on population persistence and patterns of species richness. I have studied the ef
Comments are given on the identity of some populations of allotetraploid Dactylorhiza in southern Norway and their relationships to populations elsewhere in Scandinavia and in continental Europe. The most widespread allotetraploid member of Dactylorhiza in southern Norway is D. majalis ssp. sphagnicola. This subspecies is confined to poor and medium-rich fens dominated by peat mosses, Sphagnum, inComments are given on the identity of some populations of allotetraploid Dactylorhiza in southern Norway and their relationships to populations elsewhere in Scandinavia and in continental Europe.

While Gender studies has sometimes been placed in opposition to biomedicine and medical practices in public debate, there is increasing scholarly recognition of the relevance of social factors and relationships for biological and medical phenomena and for the quality and equity of healthcare practices. In Sweden and internationally, medical schools have identified the need to integrate approaches
Sedan januari 2017 bedriver Riksbanken ett projekt vars syfte är att utreda huruvida digitala kontanter vore ett lämpligt komplement på den svenska betalningsmarknaden. Inom ramen för Riksbankens projekt kallas dessa digitala kontanter för e-kronor. Eftersom en övervägande andel av svenska betalningar redan idag görs elektroniskt kan det framstå som obegripligt varför Sverige alls skulle vara i b
Syftet med den här studien är att presentera en analys av Sigurd von Kochs närmast okända tonsättning av dikten Stjärnöga, för att utifrån denna analys utarbeta ett förslag på en didaktisk analysmetod för den klassiska sånggenren, med inriktning mot den individuella sångundervisningen på gymnasiet. Studien utgår från musikforskaren och pedagogen Bo Wallners analysmetoder, vilka också är utgångspun
