Epilepsi är den vanligaste neurologiska sjukdomen efter stroke och huvudvärk, ca 60 000 personer har aktiv epilepsi i Sverige. Vi har idag tillgång till en rad mycket effektiva läkemedel, bara sedan 1989 har åtta nya epilepsimediciner registrerats. Trots den utvidgade behandlingsarsenalen bli bara två av tre patienter anfallsfria av läkemedel, för en tredjedel fortsätter anfallen att komma. Vid fa

Three issues characterise the background to the MECCA study: A) Throughout Europe, most patients with severe forms of psychotic disorders are cared for in the community. The challenge now is to make processes in community mental health care more effective. B) There are widespread calls to implement regular outcome measurement in routine settings. This, however, is more likely to happen, if it prov

Since Abney (1987), generative syntax has invested much interest in the structure of the Noun Phrase, producing numerous theoretical as well as descriptive studies. Within the field of Scandinavian Noun Phrase studies, Delsing (1993) was a groundbreaking work that has since been followed up by several important studies, including Vangsnes et al. (2003) and Julien (2005). This field of inquiry is e

In this study, we explored the implications of a groundwater development project on women's workload and their experience of marital violence in a Bangladesh village. We believe that the project facilitated irrigation water but also that it resulted in seasonal domestic water shortages. Men used deep motorized pumps for irrigation, and women used shallow handpumps for domestic purposes. Many handp

Inom späd- och småbarnspsykiatrin behandlas familjer av en mängd olika anledningar. Det kan bero på dåligt mående hos föräldern, att känslorna för barnet inte är så starka som förväntat, att relationen mellan barn och förälder är konfliktfylld eller att det finns en oro över barnets symtom. Föreliggande studie syftade till att undersöka och beskriva den kliniska populationen inom två späd- och småIn child and infant mental health clinics families are treated for a variety of reasons. It may be that the feelings expressed for the child by the parent may not be as expected, due to the mental health problems of the parent, or that the relationship between the child and parent is filled with conflict, or that there is a parental concern for the child's symptoms. This study aimed at investi

An aim with this master thesis is to evaluate when, according to Swedish building code, design of structural fire protection can be carried out using a localized fire as the design fire, i.e. to determine when flashover is not likely. Another aim of the thesis is to examine how a structure is globally affected by a local failure due to a localized fire. One of the goals is to develop a method that

This paper is a critical discourse analysis aiming to examine how the Migration Court in Malmö uses children's own reasons for asylum and the concept of the best interest of the child in a selected number of decisions from January to March 2012th. We have investigated how the court formulates its decisions in order to under¬stand if a child’s claim for asylum is tested on its own merits and ho

This thesis studies protection as integral to security. Protection has been used to keep women from the ‘public sphere’ and abused by peacekeepers and patriarchs alike, suggesting that being protected is not synonymous with being safe but can cause violence and exclusion. From that contradiction, I ask how the concepts of protection and security are produced, and to what effects for (gender) equal

In the light of (super) wicked problems, as climate change is, a deep transformation of energy and transport systems is needed. Among other technological innovations, liquid biofuels were adopted also in Romania as an innovation that could contribute to the transition towards a more sustainable transport. However, the biofuels sector is not well-developed in Romania, in spite of considerable poten
