The relation between worship and gender is a hot topic in the Catholic Church. In recent decades, the debate has mostly been about breaking with patriarchal and male dominated liturgical forms and traditions. Yet, in Catholic traditionalist Catholic liturgy, due to the reform after the Second Vatican council, is considered to have lost much of its former masculine character. In my article, I addre
Objectives: In India, cervical cancer is the most common cancer among women and makes up for up to 29% of all registered cancer in females. Cancer-related pain is one of the major distressing symptoms for all cancer patients. Pain is characterised as somatic or neuropathic, and the total pain experience is often mixed. Conventional opioids are the backbone of analgesic treatment but are most often
Background: Informal caregivers may experience high levels burden. Prior to COVID-19, loneliness and social isolation, and especially the discordance between them, were recognized for rapid aging-related cognitive decline. The COVID-19 has significantly increased social isolation and loneliness in caregivers. Thus, we aimed to explore the variables that were associated with higher care burden amon
Background: Mobile app-based tools have the potential to yield rapid, cost-effective, and sensitive measures for detecting dementia-related cognitive impairment in clinical and research settings. At the same time, there is a substantial need to validate these tools in real-life settings. The primary aim of this study was thus to evaluate the feasibility, validity, and reliability of mobile app-bas
Resilience, the ability to withstand or adapt to altered conditions, gets more important as the grave effects of climate change intensify. Individuals’ capacities to respond to disasters are strongly connected to their social capital (e.g. relationships and networks). The aim of this paper is to contribute to the understanding of this connection at a neighborhood level. In the first part of this p
“There is no tool for development more effective than the empowerment of women,” Kofi Annan (UN News Center, 2005). The empowerment of women takes different forms such as pursuit of education, participation in political activities and representation in leadership, equal employment opportunities and wages, access to health care and ability to make decisions on personal reproductive health, economic
Det finns några pågående projekt som provocerar fram väldigt många och starka åsikter men få har involverat så många kvalificerade och uttalanden som Nobelcenter som planerades att byggas på Blasieholmen i Stockholm. Jag vill därför utforska projektet, läsa in vad som utmärkte vinnaren, vad som nu bromsade det samt utforska hur ett alternativ hade sett ut som jobbar med kritiken men ändå är placerIn this thesis I’m investigating the project to build a Nobel centre in central Stockholm. By first studying the competition, the winner and the critique it faced I then want to explore what a Nobel centre that tries to meet both critique and program might look like. The focus of the thesis lies in the investigation and the learning by exploring, the result in the end should be regarded as how far
När ett barn placeras i ett familjehem, med anledning av missförhållanden i ursprungshemmet, är grundprincipen att barnet så snart det är möjligt ska återvända hem. För att omhändertagandet inte ska utgöra en kränkning av barnets rätt till familjeliv, måste myndigheterna arbeta aktivt för att få till ett återförenande. Samtidigt har det i olika rättsliga dokument och rättspraxis utvecklats en prinWhen a child is placed in foster care, the basic principle is that the child should return home as soon as possible. In order for the treatment not to constitute a violation of the child's right to family life, the authorities must work actively to reunite the family. At the same time, a principle has been developed in various legal documents and case law, whereby continuity and stability must
Many animals use visual signals to navigate through their environment, and among the top navigators in the animal world we find insects. Even though their brains are incredibly small, insects are able to find their way using, for example, a strategy known as path integration. By updating the distance and direction travelled the insect is able to find the way back to its point of origin along a str
This master's thesis presents a qualitative analysis of the activity played out by the users in the physical library room. The study focuses users different activities and therefor also some of the activities made by librarians. The aim of this study is to put light on the activity played out by the user of the physical room at the local library. More precisely two smaller library rooms locat
Since its early days, Formula One has been seen as a spectacle. Traditionally, what made the sport spectacular was the drivers who put their lives at risk during every race. However, with the acquisition of Formula One by the American media giant Liberty Media Corporation in 2017, the sport has gone through a significant transformation, where it has evolved from a purely racing-focused championshi
This thesis examines the ongoing violent situation with the criminal networks in Sweden, what the obligations under article 19 of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child entail and to what extent the measures taken by the Swedish government live up to these obligations. Many children today are in various ways being affected by the gang-related violence, especially those who live in the vulner
In this thesis I study depictions of USA in works written by the two Swedish authors Anna Lenah Elgström (1884-1968) and Lars Gustafsson (1936- ). The purpose is to shed light on the expressions of modernity in crisis in their depictions of the USA. To fulfill this purpose I study the material from a phenomenological method approach combined with a theoretical focus. I find that they both give exp
Artikel 101.1 fastställer att avtal eller samordnade förfaranden som har till syfte eller resultat att hindra, begränsa eller snedvrida konkurrensen är förbjudna. På 1960-talet kom två kända avgöranden från EU-domstolen, STM och Consten Grundig, vilka anses ha lagt grunden för bedömningen av artikel 101.1. Genom avgöranden klargjorde domstolen artikelns omfattning och tillämpning. I avgörandena koArticle 101.1 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union provides that all agreements between undertakings or concerted practices, which have as their object or effect the prevention, restriction or distortion of competition, are prohibited. In 1960 the Court of Justice gave its judgment in STM and Consten Grundig, two decisions which are regarded to have laid the foundation for the as
ABSTRACT Author: Malena Cronholm-Nouicer Title: When a parent gets cancer – the family viewed from a resilience perspective (translated title) Supervisor: Bodil Rasmusson Assessor: Mats Hilte The aim of this study was to examine how parents describe family members´ experiences when a parent suffers from cancer, how the family has dealt with the situation, how the parents describe the access to su
Many modern buildings with glass facade have been built in recent years. The idea is often to create a transparent building with an impression of future and development. Glass facades are often being used in office buildings, where workers spend most of their hours of daylight. Because of this, thermal and visual comfort are very important in order to provide a pleasant indoor climate. When the po
I medierna förekommer ofta beskrivningar av utländska arbetstagare som blir utnyttjade av sina arbetsgivare på ett graverande sätt. Exempel på detta har varit de thailändska bärplockarna i Norrland och den kinesiska kock i Malmö som tvingades arbeta fram till att han kollapsade. Eftersom tvångsarbete är ett dolt fenomen utgör dessa fall förmodigen toppen på ett isberg. Tvångsarbete är inte explicThere are often articles in Swedish newspapers describing situations were foreign workers have been exploited by their employers. Well known examples are the Thai berry pickers in Norrland and the Chinese cook in Malmö that was forced to work until he collapsed. Forced Labor is a hidden phenomenon, therefore there is reason to assume that these cases only show the tip of the iceberg. Forced labor
Theoretical studies assessing innovation capabilities often tend to be general. This literature might not be completely applicable in practice when it discussing utilities, which are heavily affected by their external environment. Exploring which factors that drive innovation in a utility would therefore cover a gap currently existing in innovation management literature. A theoretical contribution
The objective of this thesis is to understand how a retail space could facilitate a broader adoption of a novel technology. I aim to respond to the following questions, (i) ‘What characterises the practice of operating a smart technology for the home?’, (ii) ‘Which are the main barriers to reaching out to a broader range of customers, as opposed to only the technology interested customers?’, and (
