Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka hur patienter upplevde deltagandet i en gruppbaserad behandling kallad RAINBOW. RAINBOW är en psykosocial behandlingsmodell för ungdomar med bipolär sjukdom och deras föräldrar. Halvstrukturerade intervjuer genomfördes med fyra ungdomar som tidigare deltagit i behandling enligt RAINBOW-modellen. Intervjumaterialet analyserades med hjälp av grundad teori viThe aim of this study was to explore patients’ experiences of having participated in a group treatment called RAINBOW. RAINBOW is a psychosocial treatment for adolescents with bipolar disorder and their parents. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with four adolescents who previously had participated in RAINBOW. Grounded theory was used to analyze the data and six main themes were identified

The working environment on top of an 80 - 120 meters high horizontal-axis wind turbine isn’t like an average working environment. The high wind speeds, the slippery rain, the limited mobility and the pure height makes it a very dangerous and difficult place to work at. To make sure the service team can feel safe and at ease while working outside on the top of a wind turbine, all the equipment use

Den digitala utvecklingen har skapat nya förutsättningar för hur individer och or-ganisationer kan interagera, där ett exempel är samskapande (eng. co-creation). Syftet med studien är att undersöka de drivkrafter och känslor som ligger bakom individens beslut till att delta i den specifika samskapandeformen rotation curation tillsammans med organisationer och hur detta skapar mening för individen.

Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to increase the understanding of collaboration among local government, business, and NGOs in a sustainable city. This includes identification of prominent driving forces and success factors of such collaborative arrangements. Method: Qualitative case study conducted in San Francisco, with a combination of inductive and deductive reasoning. Firstly, a theoreti

Background: Persons with dementia receive health care and social services from a wide range of professional care providers during the disease trajectory, presenting risks of miscommunication, duplication and/or missed nursing interventions. Accordingly, the aim of this study was to investigate professional care providers' views on conditions for best practice in terms of collaboration and improvem

Modern industrial robots are traditionally programmed to follow desired trajectories, with the only feedback coming from the internal position/angle sensors in the joints. The robots are in general very accurate in tracking the desired motion, and they have become indispensable in many applications, such as spot welding and painting in the automotive industry. In more complex tasks, such as physic

Uncontrollable events such as adverse weather and volatile prices present considerable risks for arable farmers. Soil natural capital, which views the capacity of soil biodiversity to generate ecosystem services as a component of farm capital, could be important for the stability and resilience of arable production systems. We investigate therefore whether managing soil natural capital could be an

Popular Abstract in Swedish Hur lurar mördarbakterier våra celler? Neutrofiler och fagocytos räddar liv Utan vårt immunförsvar så skulle vi snabbt dö i infektioner från mikroorganismer. Det består ett komplicerat system av celler och molekyler som tillsammans kan klara av att stå emot attacker från bakterier, virus, svampar eller parasiter. Cellerna i immunförsvaret utgörs av vita blodkroppar ochNeutrophils are our most numerous and deadly white blood cells and without them we would succumb quickly to infections by pathogens. The main mechanism that the neutrophils employ for our protection is phagocytosis, where they eat and enclose their target inside a membrane-bound organelle, the phagosome. Neutrophil phagosomes are highly dynamic entities, and a large amount of antimicrobial substan

In order to achieve ultra-low emissions of both NOX and CO it is imperative to move the blow out limit towards leaner equivalence ratios and by supplying heat and reactive species to the flame zone the lean stability limit can be lowered. Heat and reactive species can be supplied to the flame zone by use of a pre-chamber combustor. In this study a central body burner, called the RPL (Rich-Pilot-Le

This paper presents a mathematical approach and numerical model that simulates beach and dune change in response to cross-shore processes of dune growth by wind and dune erosion by storms, and by gradients in longshore sand transport that will alter shoreline position. Sub-aerial transport processes are represented, whereas sub-aqueous transport is neglected. The system is tightly coupled morpholo

This article is a way to try to concretize the so-called new economy based on a couple of concrete expressions. The concepts of cultural heritage and consumption are used to describe and analyse some specific service operations in a couple of Swedish retailers. In both are the products manufactured, in one case, stone-baked sourdough bread and in the other handmade chocolates with reference to tra

This paper investigates how river privatisation in Turkey is deployed to expand renewable energy production and the implications this has for issues of ownership, rights to water and community life. Recent neoliberal reforms in Turkey have enabled the private sector to lease the rights to rivers for 49 years for the sole purpose of electricity production. The paper focuses on the re-scaling and re

Objective: The purpose of this study was to describe procedural changes in hospital incident investigations and show the consequences of these changes over time. Methods: A two-stage method was used. First component of the study was a content analysis of 87 incident investigations conducted 1995-2014 by the regulatory authority after adverse events in a Swedish university hospital. Second compone

The origin behind the dipolar order in molecular fluids is investigated by using a simple dipolar fluid and Monte Carlo simulation technique. A penalty function is employed to separately manipulate the positional and orientational structure of the fluid. By considering the distance-dependent Kirkwood function G (k), which in turn is related to the dielectric permittivity of the fluid, it is observ

There are emerging data to support a role for genetic and immune-related factors in the pathogenesis of lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma/Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia. In this article, we review our recently published, large, population-based studies using data from Sweden and from United States veterans and propose mechanisms and pathways underlying our observations. We also discuss future directions
