Background: Physical and environmental factors can affect both job performance and job satisfaction of the workers. Despite of the progress and improvement made for occupational safety and health, work environment especially in low and middle income countries is still hazardous for the workers. A large number of work related injuries and occupational accidents happens around the world each year. T

The purpose of this study was to examine the phenomena of social issues in the media. More specifically the purpose was to find out how the TV-show Nybyggarna addresses homelessness and how they choose to cope with the specific social issue. In the TV-show seven homeless people are offered the opportunity to remodel a barn into their own home with individual flats along with the TV-host Anders Öfv

The purpose of this bachelor thesis has been to discuss the role of the heroine in the movies Alien (1979) and Prometheus (2012). I have also looked at how the roles of ”The Final Girl” and the heroine are portrayed in light of each other. The possibly intriguing meeting between “The Final Girl”, the last surviving woman in a slasher-movie, and the science fiction heroine has been the driving forc

Utgångspunkten för denna uppsats är de problem med grundskolans värdegrundsarbete som Skolverket och Skolinspektionen lyft fram i tidigare rapporter (Skolverket 2009:419, Skolinspektionen 2012:9). De menar att värdegrunden tolkas på olika sätt och att skolor sällan har en plan för hur arbetet ska genomföras. Med syftet att bidra till en större förståelse för detta problem belyser uppsatsen lärarna

We analyse biological switches with the aid of computers and the Gillespie method, a stochastic solver. Stochastic calculations can lead to spontaneous switches which are, in part, determined by a subset of the parameters. In a deterministic description this is hidden. Initial analysis using a deterministic description of the system will reveal that by applying certain constraints on the system we

Vår kultur är i hög grad en terapeutisk kultur; i teve, radio, på Internet och i tidningar pågår terapier av olika slag. Bland dessa är parterapin en av de mer populära. Syftet med den här uppsatsen är att undersöka en samtida diskurs om kärlek. För detta används en Foucault-orienterad förståelse av diskurs och makt, och sociologiska teorier om individualisering och kärlek. I en diskursanalys av b

Streams in Norrbotten County, near the coast of the Gulf of Bothnia in northern Sweden, suffer from recurrent episodes of low pH and high metal concentrations, which have resulted in fish kills and cadmium levels exceeding environmental quality standards defined in the EU Water Framework Directive. The cause of these acid episodes is that sulfide sediments, which are quite common under the highest

A great part of the soil remediation projects in Sweden today are being carried out on heterogeneous contaminated areas where for example industrial activities have been going on for a long time. In many cases waste from the industrial processes have been dumped or spread out on the property, and there is no pattern in the occurrence of contaminants. The distribution of the concentration of the co

Within the field of ecotoxicology there is a concept called combination effects. There are two different approaches to combination effects, independent action (IA) and concentration addition (CA). The common assumption in both approaches is that there are no interactions between the substances within the mixture. These approaches are used for predicting the toxicity of whole mixtures and also to e

This master thesis started off as a project to build a product platform for the product category of built-in ovens with the Swedish white goods brand Cylinda. But as a part of Cylinda’s work in adapting a new brand value platform this thesis also became a part of the process of adding the brand value in to the products without moving away too much from the present product range of built-in ovens b

Endocrine disruption from synthetic human estrogens in molluscs has not been investigated as closely as in vertebrates. This has led to a missing piece in the important puzzle investigating the differences in effects between diverse animal groups after exposure to endocrine disrupting chemicals, EDCs. The Mollusca is one of the largest phyla in the world and the different species can be found in m

Unsustainable consumption and production patterns is one of the main contributors to environmental degradation and one of the key areas are food consumption together with housing and transport. Because of the retailers strategic position between the consumers and producers they are appointed a key role in the transition to more sustainable consumption. The purpose of this study is to contribute to

Many streams in Scania have been regulated to increase the agricultural potential. Erosion of suspended particles and leakage of nutrients have increased, which gives a higher turbidity in streams. Water samples have been taken in Stream Segeå which has very turbid water. Samples have been taken both in the stream and inflowing ditches, to investigate where particles come from. The stream is very

Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka de narcissistiska dragen hos tre romankaraktärer: Dorian Gray i Oscar Wildes Dorian Grays porträtt (1890), dvärgen i Pär Lagerkvists Dvärgen (1944) och Marcel i Björn Larssons Drömmar vid havet (1997). Narcissism definieras som ett personlighetsdrag som utmärks av grandiositet, behov av beundran och bristande empati, och som bottnar i en inre känsla av skaThe purpose of this paper is to explore the narcissistic traits in three fictional characters: Dorian Gray in Oscar Wilde’s The Picture of Dorian Gray (1890), the dwarf in Pär Lagerkvist’s The Dwarf (1944), and Marcel in Björn Larsson’s Dreams by the Sea (1997). Narcissism is defined as a personality trait characterized by grandiosity, need for admiration, and lack of empathy, stemming from an inn

Abstract Authours: Frida Gustafsson & Hanna Öberg Title: Do you dare to get older? A study of media representations of problems in elderly care. [translated title] Supervisor: Malinda Andersson The aim of our study was to examine how Swedish newspapers depict and produce problems about the Swedish elderly care. The purpose was also to examine how the newspapers present the causes of the issu

Patienter som vårdas på intensivvårdsavdelning får ofta sedering. Genom att använda sederingsskalor och införa rutiner kan översedering undvikas och tid i respirator och vårdtid minskas. RASS är en sederingsskala som nyligen blivit översatt till svenska och som nu används på flera svenska intensivvårdsavdelningar. Denna retrospektiva journalstudie undersökte följsamheten till sederingsrutiner på e

Sverige behöver ett förbättrat konsumentkreditskydd. Fler sms-lån än någonsin har hittills i år hamnat i Kronofogdemyndighetens register som obetalda. Konsumenternas skydd är i stort sett verkningslöst, många sms-långivare missköter kreditupplysningarna och ger ut lån till människor som redan är skuldsatta. Förslag till förbättringar för konsumenternas skydd på sms-lånemarknaden finns. Nu återstårSweden needs an improved consumer credit protection. More SMS-loans than ever, so far this year has ended up in Kronofogdemyndighetens records for unpaid SMS-loans. Consumer protection is very ineffective; many SMS-lenders mismanage credit checks and give out loans to people who are already in debt. Proposed improvements to consumer protection on the SMS-loan market exist. Now it only remains to s

Infant mortality is an important indicator to observe the children and public health and also to examine the health policies. It is also used as the best indicator to check the socioeconomic development. It is also one of the major goal of United Nation to reduce infant mortality in developing countries. Now a days it is also the biggest challenge for the policy makers and demographers to introduc

Idioten och protagonisten Furst Lev Nikolajevitj Mysjkin, i Fjodor Dostojevskijs roman "Idioten" (1867-1868), kan förstås utifrån flera perspektiv grundade i olika idéer och uppfattningar om vad en idiot egentligen är. Uppsatsen behandlar idiotbegreppet och vilken påverkan förståelsen för begreppet har, för förståelsen av protagonisten och följaktligen, romanen. Stort fokus läggs också p
