The presentation will describe the results of a randomized controlled trial of cognitive therapy for childhood GAD, including analyses of mediation of outcome by changes in intolerance of uncertainty.

It is well known that the water-wave problem with weak surface tension has small-amplitude line solitary-wave solutions which to leading order are described by the nonlinear Schrödinger equation. The present paper contains an existence theory for three-dimensional periodically modulated solitary-wave solutions which have a solitary-wave profile in the direction of propagation and are periodic in t

The “realism of law” tried to dissolve the connections between justice as norm and justice as fact. A severe critic of Legal realism was Halvar G.F. Sundberg. He explained that the Church was not created by the State or its legal order, but the State and the legal order recognized the factual, existing Church as being also a legal institution.

In this context, Göran Göransson was a very knowledgeable and influential jurist who not only practiced ecclesiastical law within the Swedish church but also served as a departmental jurist acti

The worlds shipping must reach a 55 percent reduction in carbon dioxide by 2050. This is a massive challenge that will have an effect on every ship, every shipowner and every yard all over the world. At the same time, it appears to be challenging to implement new technologies and the transition is so far too slow for the industry to reach its target. The purpose of this study examines how shipping

Under 2015 ansökte 162 877 personer asyl i Sverige, detta är nästan dubbelt så många som den tidigare högstanoteringen från 1992, då antalet sökande var 84 018. Av de asylsökande 2015 var 35 369 ensamkommande barn. Behovet av boende för de asylsökande ökade kraftigt under hösten 2015, och migrationsverket anordnade bland annat tillfälliga boplatser för att tillgodose behovet. Ensamkommande barn föThe following study was performed spring, 2016, together with the environmental department at Eslöv municipality, Sweden.
