Following five decades of isolation and ruthless military rule, Myanmar authorities started implementing various nominally democratic reforms. In response to these developments Western governments scaled back sanctions that had made the country anathema to foreign business. Writing within premises of late modernity, and the retreat of the state as primary political-geographical reference, this the

Bakgrund: Postpartum depression (PPD) drabbar cirka 8-15 % av alla nyblivna mödrar. Mödrarna känner ofta skam och när en moder drabbas av PPD påverkas hela familjen och i synnerhet det nyfödda barnet. Syfte: Att belysa PPD ur moderns, barnets och sjuksköterskans perspektiv. Metod: En litteraturstudie genomfördes, baserad på analys av 12 vetenskapliga artiklar. Resultat: Nio teman hittades; Förvrän

Amyotrofisk lateralskleros (ALS) är en obotlig neurodegenerativ sjukdom, som ger upphov till muskelförtvining. Sjukdomen medför ofta en nedsatt livskvalitet och en komplex symtombild med omfattande omvårdnadsbehov som följd, vilket gör omvårdnaden central. Syftet med denna litteraturstudie var därför att beskriva hur sjuksköterskan arbetar i omvårdnaden med patienter som lider av ALS. En litteratu

Denna tvärsnittsstudie undersökte anknytningsstil och omvårdnadsrepresentationsstil hos mödrar som drabbats av postpartum-depression (PPD). Studien inkluderade 20 mödrar som hade sökt professionell hjälp för sin psykiska ohälsa och 25 som inte hade gjort det. Datainsamling skedde genom en semistrukturerad intervju, en berättelsebaserad teknik och flera självskattningsformulär. En majoritet av deltThis cross-sectional study examined the attachment patterns and caregiving representations of women who suffered from postpartum depression (PPD), including 20 mothers who had sought professional help and 25 who had not. Data was collected with a semi-structured interview, a narrative based technique and self-report questionnaires. A majority of the participants were insecurely attached and had ca

När den här rapporten skrivs har forskningsanläggningen European Spallation Source (ESS) börjat byggas i Lund. ESS förväntas bidra till nya upptäckter inom många olika ämnen, till exempel materialforskning, medicin, partikelfysik och arkeologi. I det här projektet har jag undersökt hur datorsimuleringar av neutronflödet på ESS skulle kunna förbättras genom att koppla ihop två simuleringsprogram soThe European Spallation Source (ESS) will be a material research center built around a powerful neutron source. At ESS, researchers will be able to carry out precise measurements using neutron scattering. The quality of the measurements is determined by the signal-to-noise ratio. The signal consists of neutrons with energies that are useful for experiments, while neutrons with higher energies cons

The purpose of this essay was to investigate how exhaustion depression, previously defined as burnout, is presented on blogs on the Internet, what consequences the presence of the blog-readers may have on the self-presentations on the blogs and what consequenses the blog-writers self-portraits may have for the construction of their diagnosis. The study is entirely based on observations of blogtext

This research shows that multiple factors are important when a person is trying to quit an alcohol or drug addiction. Factors that have shown to be important in the decision of breaking up with the addiction and to become alcohol or drug-free are both internal and external. The purpose of the research was to identify which factors that were most valuable to the interviewed persons in terms of quit

This study uses the model of Jamieson, Chapelle and Preiss, along with the extended theories of Chapelle, to evaluate a tool for learning french online, more specifically the Coffee Break French Podcast. The method employed is dual: an expert analysis based on a profound study of the material, and a survey sent to a set of the podcast users. The study finds that the podcasts, along with its supple

Objective: In order to put the class schema of popular sociologist Guy Standing to empirical test, we sought out to define this schema in a large survey database of 15.937 respondents of Swedish people called SLOSH, provided by the Stress Research Institute of Stockholm University. We named the schema standian class. We wanted to investigate the specific theory presented by Standing that the preca

Gender complementarity is an indigenous model of gender relations that values the female position and her tasks by tradition the same way as that of the man. The idea is that the man and woman complement each other as opposite parts of the cosmos. In Bolivia, with 65% of its population and the president being indigenous, the concept is widely used. This thesis will investigate the impact the gende

The purpose of this paper is to examine five interpretations of a type of medieval construction called “clay lined pit” which has been encountered on several locations in southern Scandinavia, and whether the interpretations can still be considered plausible in light of new findings. Initially the construction type is explained and the interpretations are introduced. Three locales, where clay line

As the demand for decreased use of energy increases, new ways of using energy sources are investigated. One of these ways is to be able to use low temperature heat sources, which can be done with a rankine or organic rankine cycle. In a rankine cycle there is a working fluid which is pressurized, evaporated, expanded and then condensed again, and the energy released during the expansion can drive

Bakgrund: Normer är förbundna med sociala värden och ligger till grund för samhällsgruppens attityd gentemot ett godtyckligt beteende inom en viss kontext. I dagens samhälle råder det en tydlig heteronormativitet, vilken tillika genomsyrar mödrahälso- förlossnings och eftervården. Syfte: Att belysa kvinnliga samkönade pars upplevelser av mödrahälso-, förlossnings- och eftervården. Metod: Kvalitati

Finansmarknaden intar en central roll i ett väl fungerande samhälle och banken intar en central roll för en väl fungerande finansmarknad. Bankverksamhetens olika karaktärsdrag bidrar till att det finansiella ekosystemet fungerar vilket innebär att den finansiella stabiliteten på finansmarknaden främjas. Samhällsutvecklingen är ofrånkomligen inriktad mot en globalisering. Detta i kombination med deFinancial markets have a central role in a well-working society and a bank has a central role on a well-functioned financial market.

The conflict between the Turkish military and the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (Partiya Karkerên Kurdistan or PKK) has been ongoing for more than three decades. During 1980s and 1990s, enforced disappea

Militära metoder kan förbättra metoden för förmågebedömning i samhället Ett av syftena med förmågebedömningar inom krisberedskapssystemet, som består av kommuner, landsting, länsstyrelse och centrala myndigheter, är att de ska utgöra ett bra beslutsstöd. Är det möjligt att fatta bra beslut enbart utifrån de resurser som finns tillgängliga i exempelvis en kommun för att hantera kriser? Kanske finnsThe methods for assessing capability in the Swedish emergency management system are mainly based on resources. It is however questionable whether a method should be based only on available resources. The aim of the thesis was to examine if the old MSB method used to assess capability within the Swedish emergency management system can be improved by studying methods for capability assessment in the
