The purpose of our study was to explore what it is like to have a distressing near-death experience (NDE) and the aftereffects that follow. Positive NDEs have previously been more extensively studied, whereas research about distressing NDEs is still lacking. There have only been a handful of studies that have used qualitative methods to study both distressing and positive NDEs. We accessed all dis
Sju intervjuer genomfördes i syfte att undersöka hur dissociation upplevs bland transpersoner och om, och i så fall hur, dissociation relaterar till könsdysfori. Deltagarna bestod av transpersoner som hade haft minst en tidigare dissociativ upplevelse, vilken de sedan skulle beskriva under intervjun. Materialet analyserades genom realistiskt grundad tematisk analys där likheter som framträdde blanSeven interviews were conducted to explore how dissociation is experienced among transgender people and, if so, how dissociation is related to gender dysphoria. The participants consisted of transgender people who have had at least one dissociative experience, which they would then describe during the interview. The material was analyzed through a realistic thematic analysis, where similarities be
Upptäcka gener inblandade i diabetes I många sjukdomar, så som diabetes, spelar människans gener en viktig roll i vem som insjuknar och hur utvecklingen sker. Därför är det viktigt att, i den mån det går, identifiera dessa gener så vid insjuknande, ge varje patient en mer specialiserad vård som kan bromsa sjukdomsförloppet. Diabetes är en metabolisk sjukdom där kroppen inte kan reglera glukoshaAbstract Aims/hypothesis Diabetes, a metabolic disease rapidly increasing worldwide, is triggered by both genetic and environmental factors. Longitudinal studies, such as the Malmö Prospective Project (MPP), give a unique opportunity to study life-long risk of developing a disease. In MPP, more than 2,000 individuals developed diabetes during a mean 25-year follow-up time. However, patients with
When a victim is in need, people are less likely to help when there are other persons present. In general, this means that the probability of helping decreases in negative correlation to the number of bystanders affected. In social psychology literature, researchers refer to this phenomenon as the individual Bystander Effect. From another perspective, the decreased probability for the victim to re
Proteiner är kroppens byggstenar och behövs bland annat för att reparera celler, bygga upp vävnader och muskler samt bilda enzymer. Proteinbrist kan leda till försämrad hälsa och därför finns rekommendationer att andelen protein i den dagliga kosten bör utgöra 18 E%. Nedbrytning och upptag av proteiner sker från magsäcken till tunntarmen där bland annat olika enzymer är delaktiga i spjälkningen. TProteins are the building blocks of the body and are needed to repair cells, build tissues and muscles and form enzymes. Protein deficiency can lead to deteriorating health and therefore there are recommendations that the proportion of protein in the daily diet should be 18 E%. Digestion and uptake of proteins takes place from the stomach to the small intestine, where various enzymes are involved.
Stress is a common phenomenon amongst students and can be experienced differently depending on gender. Yoga’s impact on stress and other mental illnesses is now also well-documented. This study sought to examine relationships between students’ perceived stress level at Lund University and yoga-practice, when taking into account gender and stressors relevant to students. The hypotheses were that yo
Background: Little is known about how parental gender equality early in their children lives can influence daughters’ decision to use contraceptive pills. Aim:The study aimed at exploring whether maternal working time and paternity leave in Sweden during the first two years of their daughters’ lives is associated with the use of oral contraceptives when they are adolescents or young adults. Materi
Technological advancements into the nanoscale have made it necessary to perform solid mechanical calculations on devices being produced on this scale. Traditionally, the field of continuum mechanics has been used to perform calculations in the field of solid mechanics, but the ubiquity of faster computers have opened up the field of peridynamics as an alternative. Peridynamic theory models materia
För att brottet narkotikasmuggling ska anses fullbordat måste en gärningsperson passera någon av landets tullkontroller utan att anmäla sin medhavda narkotika. Vid en fullbordad narkotikasmuggling kan sägas att gäringspersonen även per automatik begår narkotikabrott, åtminstone i form av innehav, då denne har narkotikan i sin besittning på svenskt territorium. Syftet med denna framställning har In order to complete the drug smuggling crime, the perpetrator must pass one of the country’s custom checks without reporting the unauthorized drug. When committing the drug smuggling crime, the perpetrator automatically commits drug offence, at least in the form of possession, since the perpetrator has the drug in its possession in Swedish territory. The purpose of this thesis has thus been to
Research Questions: In organizations which do not typically support telecommuting, how do employees experience social interactions while working remotely during a global pandemic? As organizations are forced to work remotely during a global pandemic, how did the experience influence the mentality around remote working? Methodology: The research is an interpretive and qualitative study. We conduc
Tidigare forskning har visat att ett överlapp i kontext påverkar minnet. Vårt minne tenderar att vara bättre när miljön vi lär oss i liknar den miljö vi testas i. Vi har också en tendens att minnas liknande information som ett enhetligt minne, vilket kallas minnesintegraion. Syftet med studien var att undersöka huruvida ett överlapp i kontext skulle öka minnesintegrering. Studien genomfördes via Previous research has shown that context overlap affects memory. Our memory tends to be better when the learning environment is similar to the test environment. We also tend to integrate related information that has been experienced in different occasions into one unified memory, called memory integration. The aim of this study was to investigate if context overlaps helps to facilitate memory inte
Organisationers personalfunktion har sedan dess tillkomst förändrats från att handla om ett mestadels social arbete till ett agerande i företagsledningen tjänst. Detta har inneburit ett ständigt förändrat fokus, från den enskilde medarbetaren till de mer övergripande affärsmålen. Numera vänder sig allt fler HR-praktiker till de senaste vetenskapliga forskningsrönen för hur de bäst kan operera straSince organizations started to include dedicated personnel departments some hundred years ago, its function has gone from mainly social work to acting as a strategic partner to the management team. This has resulted in a steady change in focus, from the individual worker towards the overall objectives of the business. Nowadays, more and more HR-practitioners turn to the latest scientific research
Functional MRI is a method used to map brain functionality, where the blood oxygen level (BOLD) imaging method is frequently used. Stimulation of neurons leads to an increase in energy and oxygen consumption and signal can be detected since oxygen changes the magnetic properties of the blood. In order to measure the signal variation, a fast pulse sequence is required. The purpose of this master th
Background & Aim: The imaging process following the treatment of 177Lu-DOTATATE is in some medical clinics demanding on both patients and the clinic. Usually a number of images are acquired, with different time intervals to the time of injection. To facilitate for the patient and create the opportu- nity to treat more patients it is desirable to simplify the imaging process. At Skåne Universit

The object of the study was to understand the healthy children’s view on the level of support given to them during the course of the disease of their siblings. It was also aimed towards understa
This study aims to examine social work with people that have experience from selling sex and/or sex trafficking, to show the impact of stigma in social work. The analysis is qualitative and based on semi-structured interviews with six people with experience from social work with this group. Our result showed that social work interventions can be found in three levels: community level, group level
Several different methods were used to investigate the vesicle-to-micelle transition induced by the addition of the nonionic surfactant octaethylene glycol n-dodecyl monoether (C12E8) to spontaneously formed vesicle dispersions of dioctadecyldimethylammonium bromide and chloride (DODAX, X = Cl- and Br-). Dynamic light scattering reveals that fast mode micelles are formed upon addition of C12E6. Th
Post-mortem analysis of brains from Parkinson's disease (PD) patients strongly supports microglia activation and adaptive immunity as factors contributing to disease progression. Such responses may be triggered by alpha-synuclein (alpha-syn), which is known to be the main constituent of the aggregated proteins found in Lewy bodies in the brains of PD patients. To investigate this we used a recombi
Popular vetenskapliga sammanfattning: Slemmiga trådar beskyddar blommande alg Att bada i en sjö där algen Gubbslem blommar är ingen trevlig upplevelse. Hur denna art på frammarch har lyckats invadera svenska sjöar förbryllar forskare. En hypotes är att algen försvarar sig med slemmiga trådar som ställer till det för djurplankton som försöker äta den. Den encelliga algen Gubbslem (Gonyostomum sAbstract The harmful algal bloom (HAB) species Gonyostomum semen (Raphidophyceae) has become more frequent in lakes during the past decades and is now referred to as an invasive species. Grazing resistance due to its large size and trichocysts releasing slimy threads has been suggested as a mechanism behind bloom formation in this species. Here, I performed grazing studies with two naturally occu
