Det enda som ska spräckas är myten

Vi har undersökt ifall myten om mödomshinnan lever kvar bland ungdomar. Efter att ha gjort en enkätundersökning bland gymnasieelever kan vi konstatera att den gör det. Syftet har varit att undersöka hur man kan förändra ungdomars föreställningar med hjälp av kommunikation. Vi har intervjuat olika aktörer inom hälsokommunikation för att bredda våra kunskaper i ämnet. Därefter har vi gett förslag påWe have examined whether the myth surrounding the hymen still exists in the minds of adolescents. After a survey amongst high school students we can establish that it does. The purpose has been to investigate how one can change adolescents’ ideas through communication.

Measuring Inequality - What kind of inequality matters and what's the best way to measure it?

This thesis investigates what kind of inequality the world is concerned about today and compares traditional and new measures of inequality to see how these measures relate to current views on fairness and justice. The analysis is based on different theories of justice and measurement princi- ples, and the relationship between each measure and the theory is investigated. Latin America and the

Annat socialt nedbrytande beteende och psykiatriska funktionsnedsättningar - en analys av LVU-domar

This paper takes it starting point in a prejudice sentence from Regeringsrätten in 2010. The prejudice states that socially corrosive behaviour (socialt nedbrytande beteende) that can be viewed as a symptom of a psychiatric disability, e g ADHD and disability in the austism-spectra, not can be used to define socially corrosive behaviour in the meaning of 3 § LVU. From that starting point this pape

Kan en lärlingsutbildning medföra ett positivt arbetsmarknadsutfall?

Lärlingsutbildningen har sedan flera år tillbaka bedömts som ett bra verktyg för att få ungdomar att lära ett yrke. Genom utbildningen ger det praktiska arbetet ett medvetet förhållningssätt hur tillverkningen ska genomföras för att nå den slutliga produkten. Tack vare lärlingsutbildningen utvecklas on-­‐the-­‐job training, dvs. den process som ökar kunskapen, produktiviteten och arbetslivserfaren

Bindemedelsystem för SM2C-material

En stor andel av dagens elektriska maskiner använder så kallade laminatbaserade magnetiska flödesledare. Denna metod begränsar i stor utsträckning utformningen av dessa flödesledare. Konstruktionen resulterar också i relativt stora effekt-förluster. Avdelningen för Industriell Produktion driver därför i samarbete med Magnetic Components Sweden AB (MagComp) ett projekt där dessa laminerade flödesle

Uppfattningar kring manligt och kvinnligt ledarskap

Syftet med denna studie var att se hur anställda ser på kvinnligt och manligt ledarskap och huruvida det stämmer överens med litteratur och forskning i ämnet. Jag genomförde en kvantitativ undersökning med hjälp av en egen utformad webbenkät som distribuerades. I enkäten ingick tre skalor som var: prestationsfrämjande, teamkänsla och nytänkande. Dessa tre skalor var uppbyggda på sammanlagt 52 stycThe main aim of this study was to get a better insight of how employees think of leadership between men and women and whether or not it agrees with science and literature. I conducted a quantitative study, with the help of a custom designed survey that was handed out. The survey concluded three scales: performance, team spirit and innovation. The three of them were constructed with 52 questions,

Determinants of Literacy in Africa - A panel data study

Discrimination Against Undocumented Migrant Workers in Latin America with a focus on Haitian migrants in The Dominican Republic

Intra-regional migration in Latin America is an increasing phenomenon. Many interregional agreements and treaties are being consolidated in the region; however, there are many cases of irregular migration, which leads the migrant worker to be undocumented in the country of destination. The main problem experienced by these undocumented migrant workers is therefore the discrimination experienced by

Using Doppler Ultrasound for Diagnosing and Staging of Rhinosinusitus - Implementation on a Clinical Scanner

Rhinosinusitis is the fifth most common diagnosis for which antibiotics are prescribed- but it is often done in vain. Currently, the only way to fully determine whether or not such treatment is actually needed is an invasive procedure. In order to spare patients from the discomfort that it would involve, this essential step is often skipped and instead, antibiotics are prescribed regardless. Using

Civilrättsliga följder vid brott mot processuella avtal i skiljeförfarandet

Uppsatsen ämnar behandla vilka civilrättsliga följder ett brott mot ett avtal, som på något sätt styr processen i ett skiljeförfarande, kan få. En anledning till att allt fler näringsidkare väljer att lösa sina tvister i ett skiljeförfarande beror antagligen på att möjligheterna att kontrollera processen är större i jämförelse med ett motsvarande förfarande i allmän domstol. Det kan handla om att This essay examines which consequence a breach of contract aimed at dictating the process in arbitration can have under civil law. One of the reasons why more businesses choose to solve their disputes in arbitration proceedings probably depends on the fact that their possibilities to influence this process is greater in comparison to an equal process undertaken in general court. The parties might

För att göra en jämförelse har jag tittat på alla fonder från dessa länder som är tillgängliga för svenska småsp

Retrograde motion in the carotid artery wall, the impact of left ventricle movement of the heart

Cardiovascular diseases, such as atherosclerosis, is a major cause of mortality in, primarily, the western world. To be able to recognize early symptoms of this type of diseases it has proven to be important to investigate the mechanical properties of blood vessels. A few years back from now it became evident that the common carotid artery has a distinct bidirectional movement pattern in the longi
