Nonspecific, functional, and somatoform (NFS) syndromes is an umbrella term for various diagnoses with medically unexplained symptoms. These syndromes are more prevalent among women than among men, and associated with negative preconceptions that can impede rehabilitation. In two studies, we quantitatively assess how patients’ gender affects the diagnostic assessment of NFS syndromes, as well as t
The right- left dimension is stronger in Sweden than in in most European countries, demonstrated by the distinct bloc division in Swedish politics. However, the political landscape is changing and new tendencies has been pointed out for Swedish municipalities. The amount of municipal executive committees with parties from both political blocs has steadily increased during the last legislative term
Regleringen av det yttrandefrihetsrättsliga ansvarssystemet har gett och fortsätter att ge upphov till komplicerade intresseavvägningar mellan å ena sidan friheten att yttra sig, och å andra sidan möjligheterna att beivra yttrandefrihetsbrott. Efter att det tidigare rättsläget beträffande en utgivares ansvar för databaspubliceringar uppmärksammats som olämpligt genomfördes en grundlagsändring somThe regulation of the freedom of expression liability system has given and continues to give rise to complex balances of interests between the freedom of expression on the one hand, and the possibilities of proving freedom of expression on the other hand. After the previous legal situation regarding a publisher's responsibility for database publications was recognized as inappropriate, a con
Providing adequate climate finance, meaning funding for mitigation, adaptation or loss and damage, has been very high on the global policy agenda recently. The political economy and ecology behind it are much more complex and morally multidimensional than the mainstream finance world likes to present it though, which results in grave colonial injustices, international debt crises, deepened global
The Malay Peninsula is a crossroads for people, languages and cultural influences, apparent in today's vibrant mix of Malay, Chinese, Indian, Thai and European. Yet this modern state of affairs all but conceals signals of much older situations of diversity. Thus, some 140,000 people grouped together under the label Orang Asli (Malay for 'aboriginal people') represent a range of cultural and biolog
I will start out with an overview of common assumptions on the impact of free trade on the environment – assumptions which, very much like the first part of Lamy’s statement, are all-encompassing and deterministic. From there, I will narrow down the scope of examination to specific and immediate hardware-to-hardware impacts: akin to the second part of the above statement, the emphasis shall be put
Bakgrund: Aktivitet och delaktighet är viktigt för hälsa och välbefinnande. En funktionsnedsättning kan medföra inskränkt delaktighet i fritidsaktiviteter. Fritidshjälpmedlet Joëlette, kan beskrivas som en en-hjulad rullstol med två handtag fram och bak. Joëlette används för att möjliggöra för personer med funktionsnedsättning att delta i turer i naturen. Bara ett fåtal tidigare studier finnsBackground: Activity and participation are important for health and wellbeing. A disability may lead to limited participation in leisure activities. The assistive device Joëlette can be described as a one-wheeled wheelchair with two handles at the front and back. Joëlette is used to enable persons with disabilities to participate in tours in nature. Only a few previous studies exist on similar as
Lake sediments have lately been explored as a 10Be archive, complementing previous research on ice cores and marine sediments. 10Be is an important proxy as it can be used to study past solar activity, a factor which affects the climate. Where other methods studying solar activity only cover a brief period of history, 10Be has the potential to go further back in time. The concentrations of 10Be st
The rule of law is one of the founding principles that has accompanied the birth and development of the EU and is considered a shared value among the Member States. However, it is currently facing implementation challenges at national level, and this increasing crisis of the principle in some Member States has affected not only the fundamental rights recognised at EU level, even resulting in the b

UV irradiation is getting increasingly popular as a disinfection step in drinking water production. Ringsjöverket, a drinking water treatment plant in Sweden installed a full-scale UV aggregate in December 2016. However, the effect of UV irradiation on drinking water has mainly been tested on specific pathogens in labscale environment. Heterotrophic plate counts are often used when analyzing drink
This report is a study on placement of accelerometers in a rolling missile. A Kalman filter is used for estimation of some states of the rolling missile. The rolling angle is assumed to be known. The states are fed back to give the missile desired dynamics. Reference signals in the form of desired accelerations are also introduced.
The report shows that one transverse measuring accelerome
Väpnade konflikter och andra oroligheter i världen har lett till att många människor flyr sina hemländer och söker trygghet i något annat land. Många försöker ta sig till Europa. I brist på lagliga vägar tar många irreguljära vägar som ofta medför stora risker. Det vanligaste sättet är att korsa Medelhavet. De flesta båtfärder börjar i Turkiet med mål att ta sig till någon av de grekiska öarna. EUArmed conflicts and other forms of violence has led to an increasing number of people leaving their home countries in search of safety elsewhere. Many try to get to Europe. In the absence of legal ways many people take irregular routes which usually involve high risks. Crossing the Mediterranean is the most common route. Most boats have Turkey as their starting point with the goal to reach one of
The igniting spark to this project was my aching back as I saw a fellow student standing by her height adjustable desk. I thought It would be great to be able to adjust my working position as well, however I already own a vintage desk that I want to keep. This made me think, could I create a solution that gives my desk, as well as most of all other analouge desks, the function of height adjustabil
The average build year for existing multi-family buildings in Sweden is1959, circa 95 % of building built before 1960 uses natural ventilation and circa 45 % of these have failed the obligatory ventilation control that exists in Sweden. In the EU buildings stand for 30 % of the total energy usage and the aim is to get buildings to a near zero energy building. The aim of this thesis is therefore to
Within the Renewable Energy Directive, the European Union has embedded sustainability criteria, addressing sustainable biofuels. Due to criticism, the sustainability criteria have been re-examined by the EU in the light of Indirect Land Use Change (ILUC). This thesis focuses on the sustainability understanding of the EU on biofuels, through assessing the sustainability criteria in the realms of su
According to Disney, “In Tomorrowland, the future is today!” In 2015 Brad Bird’s eco-science fiction film, Tomorrowland: A World Beyond, was released to coincide with the 60th anniversary of the opening of the futuristic theme park land. The film was described as a “a gorgeous, flawed utopia” but flopped at the box office. The Disneyfication of climate crisis for commercial purpose serves as a veh
