Hälsoångest är ett tillstånd där personen har en stark oro för att bli sjuk eller är övertygad om att de redan lider av en allvarlig sjukdom. Ett av symptomen som ofta nämns, är påträngande inre mentala bilder om sjukdomar, ofta svåra och livshotande sådana som kan innebära egen eller nära släktingars bortgång. Imagery rescripting har visat sig vara en lovande behandlingskomponent när det gäller pHealth anxiety is a condition where the person has a strong concern for becoming ill or believing that they already suffer from a serious illness. One of the symptoms often mentioned, is intrusive imagery about life threatening diseases, the death of oneself or close relatives. Imagery Rescripting has shown to be a promising treatment on intrusive imagery in PTSD and Social phobia. Hence, the curr

In this thesis the III-V semiconductor material GaSb (111) was studied using Scanning Tunneling Microscopy and Scanning Tunneling Spectroscopy. To characterize the surfaces of semiconductors has become more relevant in today society. When semiconductors become so small that they are in the micro scale the surface must be taken into consideration. The sample is first placed in the cleaning chamber

The fundamental diagram indicates the relation between crowd speed and crowd density (or inter-person distance) or flow of crowd a

Bussbolags miljöpåverkan - Hur kan verksamheter och kommun arbeta för en effektivare minskning av miljöpåverkan? Miljöpåverkan innebär all förändring ett företag utgör som påverkar miljön och verksamheten ett bussbolag driver innebär i de flesta fall stor negativ miljöpåverkan. Genom ett företags egna initiativ till ett förbättrat miljöarbete kan miljöpåverkan minska men även kommuner kan bidra tiThis study is on behalf of Röke Buss and aims to identify the significant environmental impacts of the company as well as to review the environmental requirements posted by public buyers. The study is divided in two sections; the first section is a document analysis that analyses RFQs (request of quotation) of school bus services from the municipalities within Scania to identify its environmental

Hur jobbar kommuner egentligen med ekologisk hållbarhet vid planering av externhandel? - En fallstudie av Kristianstad och C4-shopping Planerings- och beslutsprocessen gällande handel involverar miljöfrågor på flera sätt men dessa behandlas ofta separat från andra frågor, många aktörer i processen anser sig inte vara ansvariga och flera miljömål förbises till förmån för familjeshopping. ShoppingOut of town shopping is a growing business that is no longer just about the human need for food and clothes, it has also become an health- and environmental issue. Shopping centres located outside of- and in the outskirts of the city centres are raising the amount of car traffic and also the greenhouse gases. Managing these centres is thus both a global and a local issue which the municipal planne

Studien har tittat på en grupp unga vuxna våldsbrottsdömda män med särskilt fokus på Uppförandestörning (Conduct Disorder/CD) och skillnader i bakgrund samt behandlingsinterventioner (terapi eller medicin) beroende på om personen haft tidig, sen eller ingen CD. Syftet var att kartlägga hur dessa behandlingsinsatser skiljde sig åt mellan grupperna tidig, sen och ingen CD. Material till aktuell studThe study looked at a group of young men convicted of violent crimes and had a particular focus on Conduct disorder (CD) as well as differences in background and treatment interventions (therapy or medication) depending on whether the person had early, late or no CD. The aim was to identify how these treatment measures differed between the groups early, late and no CD. Data to the current study ca

Det individuella valet av diversitetsindex och dess inverkan på det konkreta bevarandet av biologisk mångfald Värden för den biologiska mångfalden i ett område kan mätas på många olika sätt. För att uppnå detta brukar forskare därför ofta använda sig av en eller flera typer av matematiska modeller i form av så kallade diversitetsindex. Då konceptet biologisk mångfald spelar en stor roll i det koAs there currently are not so many known studies which directly evaluate how diversity indices have been used in different contexts, following literature study was made with the purpose of investigating how three of the most commonly used diversity indices (including Shannon-Wiener’s and Simpson’s Indices as well as a certain index measuring taxonomic diversity) are representing different categori

Säkerhet ses oftast som en del av en teknisk lösning vilket gör att företag har en tendens att dedicera mer resurser till teknisk säkerhet, snarare än strategisk säkerhet. Mänskliga faktorer kan ha en avgörande negativ roll för informationssäkerheten inom företag om grunden till informationssäkerheten inte hanteras på rätt sätt. Uppsatsen undersöker kopplingen mellan modellen CIA-triadens olika de

This study aims to investigate the impact of foreign aid on economic growth by using an exogenous instrument identified by Galiani et al. (2015). Researchers have through the years failed to agree on whether aid causes growth, being unable to identify an exogenous instrument that can eliminate the endogeneity problem associated with aid and growth. Galiani et al. (2015) claim to have found such an

Foreign nationals may, according to Swedish law, be placed in detention centers. That means that they are deprived of their liberty for the purpose of being accessible for the migration authorities. The person will thereby be placed in a designated premises provided by the Swedish Migration Agency, although an incapacitation in police custody or correctional facilities can also become a reality. T

During the last decades, there have been tremendous improvements in Silicon-based transistor technologies such as operational speed increase as well as size and cost reduction. However, the bandwidth in modern processors is significantly limited by the data transfer in the metallic interconnects. Inspired by the long-range telecommunication technologies, the industry is developing the field of int

Degrowth is an academic concept and activists' niche project in Europe and other early-industrialized parts of the world aiming to reframe the current sustainability challenge of declining environmental and unjust social conditions. Its emphasis is on the radical transformation of the current societal-economic structure in order to achieve inherently sustainable conditions. There are various d

This thesis concerns the current highly debated issue on the Swedish labour market, regarding the prevailing lack of integration of immigrants. Firstly, it is common that highly educated individuals find themselves at work positions where they are overly qualified in terms of education and experience, for example, when an engineer works as a taxi driver. Secondly, there is a higher rate of unemplo

Den högre utbildningen står inför IT-utvecklingen, digitalisering av salstentamen. Detta innebär att datorn är ett hjälpmedel vid en salsexamination. Inget lärosäte i Sverige har idag infört digital salstentamen fullt ut, utan endast enstaka fakulteter samt vissa kurser använder sig av IT-stödet. Denna uppsats ämnar undersöka studenters upplevda nytta med digital salstentamen samt identifiera vilk

För att minska risk för patientskador och öka säkerheten vid kirurgiska ingrepp utarbetade WHO, år 2008, en checklista som ska bidra till bättre samarbete och kommunikation mellan olika yrkesgrupper inom sjukvården. Trots gott mottagande och goda resultat av checklistans användande, visar både svenska och internationella studier att checklistan inte följs fullt ut. Syftet med studien var att beskr
