Trots detta har kurderna inte sin egen självständiga stat vilket gör dem till en minoritetsgrupp i Turkiet, Irak, Iran och Syrien. Eftersom kurderna är utspridda över fyra olika stater är det av intresse att undersöka hur de hänvisar till varandra i förhållande till idén om att ha en suvWith a population of around 30 million people, the Kurds are the fourth largest ethnic group in the Middle East. Despite this, the Kurds do not have their own independent state which makes them a minority group in Turkey, Iraq, Iran and Syria. Since the Kurds are scattered over four different states it is of interest to examine how they refer to each other in relation to the idea of having an inde

Wetland Management Programme (WMP) inom Mekongsekretariatet har identifierat satellitbildsfjärranalys som ett viktigt verktyg för att undersöka Mekongflodens våtmarker (Petersen R., Petersen L. och Lacoursière 1990). Denna studie undersöker möjligheterna till storskalig markanvändningskartering av That Luang-Salakhamvåtmarken med omgivningar i västra Laos med hjälp av digitala fjärranalysmetoder oThe Wetland Management Programme (WMP) of the Mekong Secretariat has identified satellite remote sensing as being a valuable tool in conducting surveys of Mekong riperian wetlands (Petersen R., Petersen L. and Lacoursière 1990). This study involves evaluating the feasibility of large scale land use mapping of the That Luang-Salakham wetland and surroundings, Lao PDR, using digital satellite remote

Work-life balance (WLB), especially for female workers is a popular topic being widely discussed in different fields. Yet, there are insufficient studies on how Chinese female workers perceive their own WLB and organizational WLB support. In our research, we hold that WLB is personally interpreted and subjectively perceived. Therefore we conducted interviews with Chinese female workers to explore

In this work the major models for calculating diffusion in simulations of a laminar premixed hydrogen flame, the mixture averaged approximation and the multicomponent model, are explained and compared. This is done in order to see if the accuracy gained in implementing the multicomponent model is enough to warrant the increased workload the transition will cause. The models are used to calculate

This study used qualitative content analysis to explore how social workers work situation is described in the magazine Socionomen between the years of 2014-2017. The purpose of this study was therefore to explore the causes, consequences and solutions presented within the magazine to understand social workers work situation within Sweden. The study also aimed to examine which categories of social

Informationsutbyte och myndighetssamverkan anses vara viktiga redskap för att motverka den organiserade brottsligheten, vilken beskrivs som en stor utmaning för rättssamhället. Personer som tidigare varit kriminellt belastade löper större risk att rekryteras till kriminella grupperingar med kopplingar till den organiserade brottsligheten. Sedan 2009 bedrivs ett särskilt samarbete mellan myndigheteExchange of information and cooperation between public authorities are considered important tools to counteract organized crime, which is described as a great challenge for the society. People with a former criminal record are at greater risk of being recruited to criminal groupings with connections to organized crime. Since 2009, several Swedish public authorities cooperate to counteract organize

The law concerning visitation zones has been widely debated in Sweden. While some see it as a necessary measure to fight the continuous gang violence, others are concerned it will create a divide between the police and the people in the areas they are put up. These presumed areas for the visitation zones are areas of low socio-economic status and with a high crime rate. Therefore, the purpose of t

Upplevt socialt stöd, självkännedom och självmedkänsla är faktorer som tidigare visat sig hänga samman med tonåringars livstillfredsställelse och psykiska ohälsa i flera tvärsnittsstudier. Denna studie hade för avsikt att undersöka hur de ovan nämnda variablerna förhåller sig till varandra över tre år och om sambanden mellan socialt stöd och livstillfredsställelse respektive psykisk ohälsa medieraPerceived social support, self-awareness and self-compassion are factors that have previously been shown to be associated with adolescent life-satisfaction and psychological distress in cross-sectional studies. The aim of this study was to examine how these variables relate to each other over three years and whether the relationship between perceived social support and well-being, as well as psych

There is some evidence that perinatal factors, specifically birth weight (BW), may be related to the onset of prostate cancer (PRCA). This case-control study, nested within the Malmo Diet and Cancer Cohort Study, used archived birth record data from 308 incident PRCA cases diagnosed between 1991 and 2005, and 637 age-matched controls among 4781 men born (1923-1945) in Malmo and Lund, Sweden. We ap

Site-directed mutagenesis of a thermostable alkaline phytase from Bacillus sp. MD2 was performed with an aim to increase its specific activity and activity and stability in an acidic environment. The mutation sites are distributed on the catalytic surface of the enzyme (P257R, E180N, E229V and S283R) and in the active site (K77R, K179R and E227S). Selection of the residues was based on the idea th

Pancreatic cancer (PC) has a poor prognosis, with a 5-year survival of 3-4%. This is mainly due to late diagnosis because of diffuse symptoms, where 80-85% of the patients are inoperable. Consequently, early diagnosis would be of significant benefit, resulting in a potential 5-year survival of 30-40%. However, new technologies must be carefully evaluated concerning effectiveness and healthcare cos

An incorrect, superficial suckling technique in breastfeeding frequently leads to milk congestion and sometimes mastitis. In the present study we have examined whether milk congestion may affect levels of the atypical opioid beta-casomorphin-8 in milk and in plasma. We also investigated whether the rate of acute psychosis during the first half year after parturition has declined in Sweden over the

Background: A worse outcome has been reported for cutaneous malignant melanoma (CMM) patients with low socioeconomic status. We have investigated the association between level of education, clinical stage at diagnosis (stage at diagnosis) and CMM-specific survival in Sweden. Methods: We identified 27,235 patients from the Swedish Melanoma Register diagnosed with a primary invasive CMM between 1990

This retrospective analysis from the Acute Leukemia Working Party of EBMT included 473 de novo Philadelphia chromosome-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia pat

Children diagnosed with noncentral nervous system solid cancers (NCNSSC) experience several adverse late effects, including second malignant neoplasm. The aim of our study was to assess the risk of specific second malignancies after a childhood NCNSSC. Diagnosis and follow-up data on 10,988 cases of NCNSSC in children (0-14 years) were obtained from 13 registries. Standardized incidence ratios (SI
