It is well recognized that atopic sensitization is an important risk factor for asthma, both in adults and in children. However, the role of allergy in severe asthma is still under debate. The term 'Severe Asthma' encompasses a highly heterogeneous group of patients who require treatment on steps 4-5 of GINA guidelines to prevent their asthma from becoming 'uncontrolled', or whose disease remains
The argument whether women should drink alcohol during pregnancy, has been debated for centuries. Women's drinking behaviour throughout the ages is not a static phenomenon but has changed in compliance with the customs of the time. The purpose of this study was not to evaluate if alcohol damages the unborn child, but rather to explore how women, who have just given birth and hence have become
In his “Dialogue about the Art of Portraiture” (1906), Viennese Art Historian Julius von Schlosser made the following critical observation of the behaviour of visitors in art museums:They [the public] are not interested in the portrait as an expression or disclosure of an artistic personality, but rather the actual human being, one can say, looming behind it, who is known to them in a very particu
This study goes beyond attitudes and behavioral indications as response to risk perceptions and focuses on actual behavior of laypeople. We report the results from a survey, conducted among a sample of Swedish citizens in the spring of 2009, looking at lay actions as responses to the financial crisis of 2008. In total, 3138 respondents were asked whether they had done something to protect their mo
Many people want to play their part to tackle climate change, but often do not know where to start. Carbon Footprint (CF) Calculators pose potential for helping individuals situate themselves in climate impacting systems of which they are a part. However, little is currently known about whether and how individuals who complete CF calculators understand their CF in the context of climate change. Th

This article is opened by explaining a specific type of hate speech: Holocaust denial. I will establish that Holocaust denial is a form of hate speech. The article is concerned with the expression of this idea by educators. I make some constructive distinctions that will help in crystallizing our treatment of teachers who are Holocaust deniers. Should we allow Holocaust deniers to teach in schools
Casey Moir arranged this event in her neighborhood of Bredäng. It was a sound walk, punctuated with improvised music performances. First we encountered Moir, who worked with voice and objects in a pedestrian tunnel, blending unexpectedly and marvelously with a family fair going on nearby. Then we went up a granite hill to listen to Finn Loxbo play extended acoustic guitar, contemplative and still
Political use of history played a pivotal role in legitimizing the war in Iraq, and by taking a closer look at the use of history one can get closer to understanding the reasons for the decision to go to war. The first part of the article argues that former Prime Minister Anders Fogh Rasmussen and the Liberal and Conservative parties legitimized war participation by writing it into a particular in
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to test a potential means of measuring strategic thinking ability (Cognitive Process Profiling) in individuals through a multi-method approach. First, we identify what strategic thinking is in theory by analysing the current literature and then identify the most prominent competencies that enable individuals to think strategically. Following this literature r
Denna uppsats undersöker hur prostitution porträtteras i filmerna American Gigolo (1980) och Pretty Woman(1990). Analysen tittar både på kvinnlig såväl som manlig prostitution. Genom social konstruktionsteori analyseras hur dessa filmer relaterar till verkligheten och populärkultur. Semiotik används för att ’läsa’ tecken i filmerna och för att förstå deras innebörd. Uppsatsen tittar på hur prostitThis investigation will analyze the portrayal of prostitution in the films American Gigolo (1980) and Pretty Woman (1990). The analysis looks at both female and male prostitution. It draws on the theory of social constructionism to look at how the films relate to reality and popular culture.

This bachelor project is about textile crafts traditionally performed in Sweden and the textile crafters who perform the crafts in their homes. The main questions asked and investigated in this project are: HOW CAN THE STATUS OF TEXTILE CRAFTS BE UPLIFTED? & HOW CAN THE ONGOING TEXTILE CRAFTS PROJECTS BE ASSIGNED A CENTRAL PLACE IN THE HOME? The project was carried out using a resea
Less than a decade ago, Swedish law demanded that a person who wanted to change their legal gender had to be without any ability to reproduce. This demand led to many trans people being forcibly sterilized. Even though the demand is now removed from law, lingering effects continues to affect trans people in their reproductive journey. This study examines barriers faced by trans people in three sta
This thesis starts with an interest to explore how I, as an urban designer, can contribute to make the city centre of my hometown more enjoyable for its citizens and visitors. Growing up in Västerås, the city centre was a place of retail. You walked in the large-scale public realm, looking out for cars when crossing the streets, and visiting the large indoor malls. How can the city centre be impro
This paper is a study of Vitruvius and the lifting devices he describes in his work De Architecura. The aim of this paper is to figure out how truthful Vitruvius' statement about the rarity of cranes is. I also explore what sort of education Vitruvius expected an architect to have; thereby stating that a certain level of competence was expected of the people who constructed and handled such li
