Den svenska arbetsmarknaden har under de senaste decennierna präglats av en ökad andel tidsbegränsade och flexibla anställningsformer. Bemanningsanställningar har blivit en vanlig väg in i arbetslivet för unga vuxna, men denna anställningsform innebär särskilda villkor som kan påverka upplevelsen av trygghet, social tillhörighet och integration på arbetsplatsen. Unga vuxna befinner sig i ett formb
Syftet med studien var att undersöka sambandet mellan religiös coping och situationsrelaterad ångest vid stressfulla livssituationer. Internationell forskning har tidigare studerat användandet av religiös coping vid livssituationer av stressande slag och visat att religiös coping kan påverka upplevd ångest, men i svensk kontext är området tämligen outforskat. Denna studie ämnade således att bidra The aim of the present study was to examine the relationship between religious coping and state anxiety in the context of stressful life events. Previous international research has investigated the use of religious coping in response to stressful life events and has shown that religious coping may influence perceived anxiety. However, this area remains relatively unexplored in a Swedish context. T

Självkonkordansmodellen (The Self-Concordance Model) postulerar att autonom målsättning är en primär drivkraft för välbefinnande. Standardiserade mätmetoder sammanblandar dock ofta närvaron av autonomi med frånvaron av yttre press genom användandet av 'relativa' differenspoäng. Denna studie använde ett aggregerat dataset (N = 429) för att systematiskt pröva två konkurrerande modeller: en BThe Self-Concordance Model posits that autonomous goal pursuit is a primary driver of well-being, yet standard measurement practices often conflate the presence of autonomy with the absence of external pressure via 'relative' difference scores. This study utilized a high-powered dataset (N = 429) to systematically test between a Balance Model (where meaning arises from the net difference b
Interactions between light and matter is one way to study both particles whose small spatial sizes render them irresolvable to our eyes and events where the characteristic time scale is too short for conventional recording and measurement techniques. The advent of free electron lasers allow laser pulses of high intensity and small temporal duration such that ultra-fast dynamics in matter systems a

Bakgrund: Rakelkommunikation sker vid samtliga samverkansärenden mellan ambulans, polis och räddningstjänst. Kommunikationen ska hållas kort och koncis och kan upplevas som svårt för personer som inte har pratat i radio tidigare. God kommunikation är en avgörande faktor för insatsens utfall där avsaknad av kommunikation snabbt leder till ett okoordinerat arbetssätt och en lågkvalitativ vård där pa
