Den här uppsatsen grundar sig i teorier som säger att vi lever i ett må-bra-samhälle. Det innebär att vi exponeras för information som handlar om hälsa, tips för att bli mer hälsosam och nyheter som avslöjar nya rön gällande hälsa. Med dessa teorier i åtanke har en innehållsanalys av artiklar med hälsotema i Aftonbladet undersökts för att se hur tidningen framställer dessa artiklar. Detta för att

Många personers yrke kräver noggrann rengöring av händer flera gånger dagligen, och det är tydligt att huden tar stryk av detta. En mjukgörande kräm som samtidigt innehåller alkohol för att döda bakterierna hade varit en välkommen lösning för dessa personer. Men för att veta om alkoholen kan påverka krämens stabilitet behöver man veta hur de separata komponenterna samspelar.For personnel working in areas where hand disinfection is important, skin irritation on hands is a large and real problem. A solution may be a hand cream, containing ethanol, with moisturizing properties by using a Pickering emulsion. However, the effect of ethanol on a Pickering emulsion is unknown. The objective of this work was to gain understanding of this by mapping the phase diagram of trigl

Tundra ecosystems are generally recognized as globally important carbon sinks, yet the knowledge on threats to such ecosystems is narrow. Climate change is predicted to reduce the number of muskox (Ovibos moschatus) in the arctic, it is therefore essential to understand the effect herbivores induce on the arctic ecosystem. The muskox is known as a keystone species in the arctic tundra. Such keysto

På Göteborgs bostadsrättsmarknad har man under många år observerat bostadsrättsförsäljningar till rekordhöga prisnivåer. Utgångspriserna på bostadsrätter har inte varit med om samma prisutveckling, vilket bidragit till diskussion kring fenomenet lockpriser. Lockpriser innebär att fastighetsmäklare sätter utgångspris som väsentligen understiger marknadsvärde. Marknaden verkar succesivt ha anpassat Gothenburg’s housing market has for many years observed increased price levels for condominium sales. The asking prices have although not observed the same increase which has contributed to a discussion about an ineffective market and the consumers experienced difficulty in valuing condominiums. Realtors in Sweden commonly set the asking price at a substantially lower level than the estimated mark

En persons upplevelse av det psykotiska tillståndets tänkande och språk diskuterades i denna fallstudie i relation till psykodynamiska teorier, däribland Freuds decathexis-begrepp, Anzieus begrepp ”hudjaget” och Hanna Segals teori om symbolisk likställdhet. Som metod användes Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis och den vetenskapsteoretiska utgångspunkten var Heideggers hermeneutiska version aThe experience of thinking and language in the psychotic state of mind was examined using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis. The result was discussed in terms of psychodynamic theories, including Freud’s notion of decathexis, the ”skin-ego” of Anzieu, and Hanna Segal’s theory of symbolic equation. Heidegger’s hermeneutic phenomenology functioned as theoretical basis for this single-case stu

Det här examensarbetet behandlar den akustiska utformningen av simhallar. Fokus ligger på de lösningar som påverkar akustiken, så som väggar, absorbenter och utformningen. Grunden till arbetet är baserat på befintlig litteratur och ny information framtaget för arbetet. Simhallar är en svår akustisk lokal där många hårda ytor och stora volymer försvårar. Detta ger en ljudmiljö med hög ljudnivå ochThe Master thesis considers acoustic design of swimming halls. Focus is put into design solutions affecting the acoustic environment such as walls, absorbents and shape. The basis is gained from literature studies and new information achieved specific for the thesis. Swimming halls are built in a certain way that makes a good acoustic environment hard to achieve. The construction consists of hard

This essay focus on the structure behind policy making in the city of Malmö. Leaning on the theory of Cultural Political Economy it attempts to descirbe Malmö's policy making as a product of the path-dependent and path-shaping nature of the political process. This perspective suggests that researchers take in account not only the contemporary discourse and semiosis, but also examine the materi

A plant’s rain coat Imagine yourself taking a walk on a cloudy day. Suddenly, the sky opens and the rain is pouring down making you totally soaked. Now imagine that you predicted that it would start to rain so you put on a rain coat. When the rain starts to fall, you won’t get wet since the rain drops will strike against the rain coat and get drained. In the same manner, the wax on plants is prot

Under 1900-talet har stormskador på skog ökat vilket är en konsekvens av vårt skogsbruk, en ökad volym av skog, och äldre skogsbestånd. Denna ökning av stormskador har konsekvenser för ekonomi, infrastruktur, skogsägare och samhälle. Samtidigt ändras klimatet successivt, och detta kommer i framtiden att innebära högre temperaturer och ökad nederbörd. Långsamt närmar vi oss ett nytt slags klimat, sDuring the 20th century storm damage in Sweden has increased as a consequence of how the forest has been managed, an increased proportion of forest and older tree stands. The increase of storm damage has consequences for the regional economy, infrastructure, foresters, and the society. At the same time the climate is gradually changing, which means increased temperatures and higher precipitation r

Avian malaria parasites can have severe fitness effects on the host although most infections seem to be mild. Some of the avian malaria parasites are host specific and infect specific bird species while others infect a wide range of species. Avian malaria can serve as a natural model system for studies of the effect of environmental change on parasites distribution patterns. The global changes of

Biological drugs such as tumor necrosis factor (TNFα) blockers are very successful and effective in therapy of chronic inflammatory disease. These blockers bind TNFα and inhibit its pro-inflammatory function. But unfortunately, biological drugs are immunogenic and prolonged treatment triggers the formation of anti-drug antibodies and neutralizing antibodies (NAbs). This reaction is associated with

This bachelor thesis was performed at BorgWarner AB in Landskrona. The assignment was to investigate different methods for external measurement of a permanent magnetized DC motor speed in revolutions per minute when you have no access to the rotor. The task was to examine different measurement methods, to produce a finished circuit that converts the signal frequency to rpm and build a complete too

As a result of the increasing gang criminality, the lethal firearm violence has enhanced since the 1990’s in Sweden which is a development that has in several ways resulted in a social problem. For example are the perpetrator and thereby gang members getting younger, the connection between gang and lethal firearm violence has eventuated in a lower number of solved cases, which is partly due to the
