This paper problematizes the concept of anorexia and in what forms bloggers create their eating disorder and what consequences the constructions made in blogs will involve. From a discursive text analysis, I have problematized the subject not only based on how bloggers create their eating disorder but also their view on femininity and how it may reflect on themselves. The bloggers are part of an o

Bakgrund: Den äldre människans upplevelse av hälsa och livskvalitet påverkas av tillgängliga resurser samt förmåga att tillvarata dessa. Att bevara den äldre människans resurser är av stor betydelse för ett gott åldrande. Ett långsiktigt engagemang och ömsesidig relation mellan distriktssköterskan och vårdtagaren kan leda till att vårdtagaren upplever ett oberoende och en frihet trots sin sjukdom.

Studiens syfte var att undersöka om det finns skillnader i inre och yttre motivation hos anställda inom den offentliga och privata sektorn samt om inre och yttre motivation varierar beroende på upplevd livstillfredställelse, kön, ålder och inkomst. Data från en enkätundersökning med 88 offentligt och 98 privat anställda bekräftar svagt majoriteten av tidigare forskning som menar att privat anställ

This thesis visits the forefront of algorithmic research on edge coloring of cubic graphs. We select a set of algorithms that are among the asymptotically fastest known today. Each algorithm has exponential time complexity, owing to the NP-completeness of edge coloring, but their space complexities differ greatly. They are implemented in a popular high-level programming language to compare their p

Popular science summary Comparison of ectoparasite load on barnacle geese (Branta leucopsis) in arctic and temperate regions Some birds winter in warm regions, but breed in the arctic. This long migration takes up a lot of energy, which leaves scientists wonder why birds undertake this journey. One of the many hypotheses to explain it, is that there are fewer parasites in the arctic. Therefore,

This thesis presents methods for estimation and autonomous control of a hexacopter which is an unmanned aerial vehicle with six rotors. The hexacopter used is a ArduCopter 3DR Hexa B and the work follows a model-based approach using Matlab Simulink, running the model on a PandaBoard ES after automatic code generation. The main challenge will be to investigate how data from an Internal Measurement

Sammanfattning EU står inför en stor utmaning att kunna ta emot alla flyktingar som är på flykt. Idag är det främst de syriska flyktingar som är på EU:s agenda. Situationen i Syrien har tvingats miljontals människor på flykt och EU har ett stort ansvar att ta hand om de syriska flyktingar som kommer till dit. I EU pågår därför ett intensivt arbete att hitta lösningar på flyktingproblematiken, för Summary The Syrian refugees coming to Europe is a big challenge for the member states in the European Union. The situation in Syria has led to many millions of Syrians have fled their country of origin and they seek protection in nearby countries and in Europe. The European Union is facing a big problem in finding a solution for all these Syrians coming to Europe. During the last year, 2013, it ha

Abstract The present thesis is concerned with the investigation of a metalorganic catalyst, a Pt complex used for C-C or C-N single bond formation in a cross coupling reaction. The investigated catalysts are used in a homogeneous reaction. In this study I have used chemical methods for the synthesis of the catalytic materials, a number of different techniques for the characterization of the catal

Varje enskild bild är underordnad helhetens innebörd - Om det offentliga rummet, karnevalen och aktivismen i Anarkrew: an anti-archives As a part of the Gothenburg International Biennial for Contemporary Art (GIBCA), the art exhibition Anarkrew: an anti-archives examines Gothenburg carnival and counter culture spirit. The purpose of this thesis is to investigate how notions of public space take p

Under stora delar av det senaste århundradet har indelningen i ‘äkta’ och ‘oäkta’ underlåtenhetsbrott varit frekvent förkommande inom den svenska straffrättsvetenskapen. De moderna standardverken, inom straffrättens allmänna del, tenderar till och med att bygga upp sin presentation av underlåtenhetsansvaret kring en dylik indelning. Dessutom associeras det för underlåtenhetsansvar stundvis tillkomThe concepts of ‘authentic’ and ‘inauthentic’ crimes of omission have been frequently used by Swedish criminal law writers during the larger part of the last century. As of today, these concepts tend to be essential for the representation of criminal responsibility for omissions in the legal literature. Their importance cannot be understated, especially since the requirement of a ‘special duty to

This is a study of the implementation of the ALARP-principle in risk analyses performed as a part of land-use planning. Interviews conducted with active parties in the industry shows that the current guidelines for using the ALARP-principle results in a variation of the methods used to decide whether a risk can be considered reduced to ALARP. Furthermore several respondents are of the opinion that

Popular science summary As the climate warms and species move northwards, some species encounter populations of a similar species. In this case, the banded demoiselle damselfly Calopteryx splendens is moving north, further into Fennoscandia than it has been known to go before, and is meeting populations of the beautiful demoiselle damselfly Calopteryx virgo. Males of both species set up and defen

The aim of this study was to understand how school counselors experience mental-illness and self-harm behavior among pupils at junior high schools. The study was qualitative and based on semi-structured interviews with four school counselors at four different schools in a city in southern Sweden. My ambition was to find out how they experience the extent of mental illness and self-harm among adole

Bakgrund: I samband med palliativ vård är symtom såsom smärta, oro och ångest vanligt förekommande, men här framträder också existentiella behov. Dessutom kan existentiell, psykisk och andlig smärta vara mer smärtsam än den fysiska. Omvårdnadsforskning har visat att patienters existentiella behov ofta är försummade och att vårdpersonal undvikit att beröra frågor som gällde dessa behov. Syfte: StudBackground: In palliative care symptoms such as pain and anxiety are common, but also existential needs. Additionally, the existential, psychological and spiritual pain can be more painful than the physical. Nursing research has shown that patients` spiritual needs often are neglected and that health workers have avoided issues related to these needs. Objective: The aim of the study was to explore
