Purpose: Adolescent and young adult (AYA) cancer survivors have unique psychological needs and require tailored support, as they transition from hospital settings following cancer treatment. This study aimed to evaluate the safety and clinical effectiveness of the online "Recapture Life" program to improve AYA aged survivors' psychological adjustment in early cancer survivorship. Methods: The inte
Striving to contribute to research on child- and youth spirituality and African theology with a contextually grounded, non-western, qualitative youth perspective, the aim of this study is to seek an understanding of the spirituality of male youth that live on the streets in Nairobi. To fulfil this aim, the research task carried out is an analysis of the source material from six focus group intervi
The so-called capitalist crisis of care has been theorized starting since the 80s. It has been and explored by two literature streams: the ‘feminist’ and the ‘mainstream’. New social and economic challenges in relation to welfare state systems trigger the interest of scholars and policy makers who are looking for sustainable responses to care needs. Welfare states have been repeatedly grouped into
Insects have been recommended by the FAO as a sustainable food alternative to meat. Despite their nutritional quality and sustainability, most Western countries still see insects as belonging far away from the dinner table. Although still a niche market, Denmark has been at the forefront of innovation and adoption of edible insects. I used integral theory to map out the structural, cultural and pe
Here a lung-on-a-chip device was developed and fabricated using 3D-printing of molds. The lung-on-a-chip device was used as a lung injury model by overstretching of murine lung epithelial cells (MLE-12) monolayers, resembling the injury during mechanical ventilation. The cells were exposed to 25% strain, representing pathological conditions seen in ventilator induced lung injury of patients with
This paper sets out to investigate what effects healthcare privatisation has on healthcare staffing levels and other healthcare metrics in regional Swedish healthcare. Using econometric techniques and relying on public data of public healthcare spending on private actors as a proportion of total regional healthcare spending, this paper finds that privatisation in general has no significant effects
Olika motiv kan influera individen till att vilja bli vegetarian, men däremot kan olika individer motiveras av olika motiv (Rosenfeld & Burrow, 2017a:85). Denna studie undersöker och behandlar följande motiv: trend-, sociala-, konsumtionskultur-, etiska- och hälsomotiv. En kvalitativ metod har tillämpats och empirin samlades in genom semistrukturerade intervjuer med vegetarianer i Sverige som
There is a growing shift in environmental management tools from the traditional command and control approach to market mechanisms where environmental goods and services are assigned market values to generate incentives for environmental protection. In November 2007, the Sabah state government announced a joint venture with New Forests Pty. Ltd. to set up a Wildlife Conservation Bank at Malua Fores
Parental leave policies for fathers are introduced to promote father’s caregiving and gender equality in childcare. Even though the majority of father-friendly policy reforms were led by social democratic parties, a few conservative catch-all parties also proposed policies to promote father’s caregiving. How did conservative catch-all parties frame father’s caregiving when they propose policy refo
Due to human-induced environmental changes, many natural populations are undergoing extensive fitness declines. Natural or sexual selection could potentially shift the phenotypic mean of critical traits towards new phenotypic optima, promoting evolutionary rescue. However, this process has rarely been studied in natural populations. Furthermore, the population fitness can also be increased by gene
This thesis presents the development and evaluation of a virtual reality (VR) environment designed for integrated EEG, EMG, and joint movement data collection. The system combines immersive VR with biosignal acquisition technologies, including the Unicorn Hybrid Black EEG, the Myo Armband for electromyography and inertial sensing, and the Cyberglove for hand joint tracking. The goal was to create
Syftet med examensarbetet var att undersöka huruvida RFID-tekniken och streckkodsläsning i Androidtelefoner gick att tillämpa i en biblioteksmiljö. Fem bibliotekarier intervjuades för att utreda vilka funktioner som hade varit av värde i det vardagliga arbetet. Utvecklingen skedde i Android Studio med Java där verktyg som Gradle och J-Unit användes. CI/CD tillämpades i utvecklingsprocessen. En we
During the past, land use has changed and still is. It has been recognized that land use changes affect biodiversity all over the world. In Sweden semi-natural grasslands are a habitat with high biodiversity. The topic of this thesis is how land use change has affected the habitat of semi-natural grasslands in the area around Osby, Scania. For that purpose, semi-natural grasslands in a historical
Approximately a quarter of a million women are diagnosed with ovarian cancer annually worldwide. Identifying the genes involved may ultimately lead to the development of corrective and preventive measures to fight this type of cancer. Next Generation Sequencing is a technology that can reveal the genes central to cancer initiation and development, however the analysis of the data is problematic du
Akustophores är rörelse av partiklar/celler under inverkan av ljud. Partikel- och cell separation är en applikation som kan utföras av akustophores. Detta är en viktig teknik eftersom den kan avslöja viktig information om sjukdomar och celler och därigenom förbättra valet av behandling inom sjukvården. Genom att utnyttja ljud, så kan celler och partiklar i en lösning separeras efter deras specifikAcoustophoresis is the migration of particles/cells under the influence of sound. Particle and cell separation is an application that can be performed by acoustophoresis. This is an important technique since it can reveal important information about diseases and cells and thereby possibly improve the choice of treatment in healthcare. By utilizing sound, cells and particles in a suspension can be
This research addresses the potential of political comedy and satire as television genres in the construction of democracy and civic culture in Colombia. Through a set of elite interviews with representative individuals in the media, political humor and media scholarship circles of the country; and through genre-based and political, economical and cultural analyses, this research underscores the r
Den svenska straffrätten har under det senaste århundradet genomgått en mängd förändringar. Allt som oftast har påföljdssystemet varit utformad efter de för tillfället förhärskande bestraffningsteorierna. Det finns en lång tradition av särbehandling av unga lagöverträdare i Sverige och till viss del så tas hänsyn till andra intressen när det gäller ungdomar. Denna framställning ska besvara frågornSwedish penal law has undergone many changes over the last centuries. The sanction system has most often been modelled on penalization theories dominant at the time. Sweden has a long tradition of special treatment of young offenders, and other interest are to some extent taken into consideration when it comes to juvenile offenders compared to adults. This essay will answer the questions of which
