Abstract: The food consumption of today’s world has led to an overconsumption of the earth resources. It is easy to forget that when we consume we do not only consume a product we are also consuming other peoples labour and landscapes in, many times, far off places. With daily news on environmental damages, people are becoming more aware. Consequently, people are getting more interested in the ori

As previous research on content-specificity of the neural correlates of recollection is inconclusive, event-related potentials were used to assess old/new effects for faces, objects and words. The data demonstrate temporal differences in ERP old/new effects as a function of item type, supporting the notion that material-dependent processes underlie recollection-related neural activity. The results

This thesis will examine the discourse of peak oil understood from a post-political perspective and challenge the un-reflexive assumption of peak oil as a natural challenger to current hegemony. It will do so by constructing a theoretical framework for ‘politics proper’ through which the peak oil discourse will be assessed. The conclusion is that while peak oil offer the potential of a serious rup

Tidigare forskning har påvisat att föräldrar ibland upplever att sjuksköterskor inom barnhälsovården (BHV) har för lite kunskap om för tidigt födda barn och vad det innebär att få ett för tidigt fött barn. Drygt 6 % av alla barn i Sverige föds före graviditetsvecka 38. Studiens syfte var att beskriva sjuksköterskors upplevelser av att möta familjer med för tidigt födda barn inom barnhälsovården. I

The purpose of this work is to evaluate and analyse the fire safety building regulations in Sweden and New Zealand that underwent significant revision in 2012. The aim of this work is to provide feedback as well as showing if the revised building regulations have achieved some of the major purposes and objectives that were the basis for the revisions. The survey method was chosen as the evaluation

Arbetet med patienter i det palliativa skedet är emotionellt påfrestande och kan leda till stress och utbrändhet. Stress i sjuksköterskans arbetsmiljö kan på olika sätt påverka den omvårdnad hon ger patienter. Syftet med den här litteraturstudien var att beskriva hur stress i arbetsmiljön påverkar sjuksköterskors omvårdnadsarbete i samband med palliativ vård. Resultatet är en sammanställning av el

Education is considered to be one of the most important tools for enabling the transition to a sustainable society, and it is commonly agreed that education for sustainable development (ESD) should be pluralistic, democratic and promote critical thinking. However, there are indications that education might be dominated by green consumerist approaches to solving environmental problems. If this is t

Popular science Glaciers are very sensitive indicators of climate change. The major cause of melting glaciers is global warming. This rapid rate of melting has serious negative impact on the earth causing flooding, leaving impact on flora and fauna, resulting in shortage of freshwater and hydroelectricity. The long-term monitoring of glaciers and the knowledge gained from it can help governments,

Bakgrund: En hiv-infektion orsakas av humant immunbristvirus, ett så kallat retrovirus med låg smittsamhet. En hiv-infektion kan inte läka ut av sig själv utan den smittade bär på viruset i kroppen resten av livet och patienten får därmed en livslång interaktion med vården. Okunskap och rädsla hos sjuksköterskeskor ökar risken att patienter med hiv eller aids inte blir bemötta eller behandlade på

Bakgrund: Vårdrelaterade infektioner (VRI) drabbar många patienter, det innebär stora kostnader och mycket lidande för patient och närstående.

It is an on-going debate in the business of fire protection engineering in Sweden whether steel construction in hall buildings (building class Br2) can be performed without technical fire classification or not. The building code, EKS 9, gives some restrictions and methods to determine this and one of these methods is the local fire (Swedish standards institute (1), 2007) which is evaluated and ana

Bakgrund: Depression efter förlossning, postpartum depression (PPD), drabbar idag ca 10-15% av alla nyblivna mammor.

During the past decades there is a growing interest to include a cultural dimension in the debate on sustainable development. In this thesis I explore how culture, and more specifically the Flemish cultural sector, contributes to the transition to a sustainable society. By means of case studies, I examine how cultural organizations perceive their role in the transition process and how they transla

Popular science Domestic energy consumption depends on the weather conditions, how energy efficient a building is and the price of fuel. There is a direct relationship between domestic energy consumption and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions with an increase in energy use resulting in an increase in emissions. Domestic energy consumption and CO2 emissions are closely related to a number of factors in
