Uppsatsens syfte var att undersöka testet Krona/Klaves användbarhet för att identifiera oro och rädsla hos barn. Testet syftar till att identifiera barn som drivs av rädsla och oro i konfliktsituationer genom att undersöka hur deras svarstid förändras när konflikten blir allt viktigare. Testet utgår ifrån teori om Behavioral Inhibition System (BIS) som menar att en central funktion för en individ The purpose of the study was to examine the test KronaKlaves usefulness to identify worry and fear in children. The test aims at identifying children who are driven by fear in conflict situations by examining how the answer latency changes in the child when the conflict gets more important. The core concept of the test is the Behavioral Inhibition System (BIS) which states that a central function

The reality of climate change and the substantial impact it can have on our environment and social systems in the future is globally recognized. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) have acknowledged that global warming will lead to higher temperature and less precipitation and that it will have an effect on food safety, especially in developing countries. The aim of this study is to i

The year was 2012 and we had just started the School of Industrial Design at the Faculty of engineering in Lund and we had no or little idea of what we were to experience. Three years have now passed by and we feel more enlightened than ever before. What we feel is a place where the learning technique has not just given us skills to become great designers, but also made us aware of how to embrace

Studiens syfte var att undersöka vilka utmaningar som upplevs av föräldrar till barn med kongenital binjurebarkshyperplasi (CAH). Vidare undersökte studien hur föräldrarna hanterade dessa utmaningar, samt vad de upplevt som stöttande och hjälpsamt från andra, så som exempelvis vårdpersonal. Studien utgick från en explorativ ansats där semistrukturerade intervjuer med tolv föräldrar till barn med CThe aim of this study was to investigate the challenges experienced by parents with children who had congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH). It also investigated how the parents dealt with these challenges, as well as what they experienced as supportive and helpful from others, for example healthcare professionals. The study was based on an exploratory approach where the data was obtained through se

A number of different experiments on a dielectric elastomer, VHB 4910, were performed: uniaxial tensile strain tests, in situ SAXS/WAXS measurements of a sample under uniaxial tensile loading and DIC measurements of an electrically loaded circular sample with simultaneous force measurements around the circular boundary using a novel method developed in this thesis. The results are presented and an

The Earth’s population is steadily increasing and there is a fast growing urbanization as people move from rural areas to cities. Lack of housing is a big issue in many cities. At the same time, dwellings are growing in size demanding more land and natural resources, a development which is not sustainable in the long run. That is problematic as it occupies land and requires natural resources, whic

Background: As the conflict crisis in the Middle East and West Asia has elevated, simultaneously has Sweden seen a higher level of immigration. Among these groups of people are women who are both physically and emotionally affected. Integrating their old cultural values into the new cultural values often creates problems. However, at present there are not many studies showing how these women exper

Abstract There are numerous definitions for what well-being means to elderly people. Societal laws and guidelines also create a norm for how wellbeing can be achieved within the care of the elderly. Along with research describing and detailing different perspectives on the well-being of the elderly, we have also interviewed a selection of persons currently receiving elderly care and asked them how

The CASA-paradigm, Computers Are Social Actors, was introduced in the book "The Media Equation" by Reeves and Nass. One of their experiments concluded that we tend to be polite to computers in the same way as we are to people. In this study I have replicated Reeves and Nass experiment but instead of a text-based interface I have used a virtual agent in order to find out if we are polit

The age of digital and social media has completely changed how books are marketed, in which format they are consumed and where readers talk about them. Book adaptations are becoming a norm and thus the book market must adapt to the digitalisation as well as the consumers’ behaviours. The media-saturated world that we live in not only allows for more spaces for fans to meet and discuss the object o

I december 2017 lämnade cementproducenten Cementa, som står för cirka två tredjedelar av Sveriges cementproduktion, in en ansökan om fortsatt verksamhetstillstånd för sina kalk- och märgelstenstäkter på Gotland. För att få ett beviljande för sådan verksamhet krävs det att utövaren upprättar ett dokument som beskriver verksamhetens förväntade effekter på miljön, en så kallad miljökonsekvensbeskrivnIn December 2017 the cement producer Cementa, which contributes roughly two thirds of Sweden’s cement production, applied for permission to continue operations at their limestone and marl stone quarries on Gotland. To get approval for such operations, a document describing the expected effects on the environment must be created. This document is called an environmental impact assessment. Cementa

Tourism is one of the fastest-growing economic sectors in the world. Due to that, many developing world’s regions with limited economic activity adapt tourism as a development strategy. The point of departure is a critical consideration why tourism, while producing such immense economic benefits, frequently also perpetuates already existing socio-economic, cultural, and environmental dysfunctions.

This essay discusses how the image of man is presented in government public investigations. In postmodern theory, society and man are shaped on the basis of how social reality is constructed. From a critical discourse perspective, the study intends to shed light on how the vision of the future society affects our notions of what a human being is. The approach has been to discuss the new emerging a

Methodology: This paper has analyzed four case studies in order to get a deeper understanding of the phenomenon stigma. A literature review is conducted where the concepts ‘stigma’, ‘disruptive communication’ and ‘brand identity’ is applied. The theoretical foundations were bas

How does coalition participation influence party membership? We argue that parties that take part in coalition governments are likely to experience less favorable party membership developments than parties governing alone because of the compromises they have to agree on in multi-party cabinets. This should be particularly likely for parties in ideologically diverse coalition governments since part
