Body appreciation-unappreciation and body satisfaction-dissatisfaction are in the literature seen as conceptually different, but construct distinction has only been supported using qualitative methods. Because of limits in using Likert-style questionnaires to measure multidimensional constructs, quantitative research has yet to directly demonstrate that it is possible to appreciate the body withou

This study put together a well established statistical model which estimates the expected number of goals being scored in football games in the Swedish 1 division (the third tier). The model is based on a Poisson regression and makes it possible to calculate the relative strength between two teams in terms of how many goals they are expected to score. The study is based on data from 1092 games and

Even though the relative contribution of neutralizing antibodies (Nab) to prevent progression to AIDS during HIV-1 infection is still unclear, the induction of broadly NAb directed against HIV-1 through vaccination is considered to represent an important goal for the development of HIV-1 vaccines. Factors contributing to the induction of NAb may include the strength and duration of antigenic stimu

Abstrakt Denna uppsats syftar till att undersöka hur Albanien har gått från en planekonomi till marknadsekonomi och vilka tillväxteffekter detta har haft. För att undersöka hur transitionen till marknadsekonomi har gått till har jag främst använt mig av teorier från Gros och Steinherr (2004), där de sammanfattat vilka områden i ekonomin som behöver genomgå reformer och därmed anpassa sig till mark

The aim of this study is to understand whether globalization has any effects on modern democracy and if so to see whether it can be replaced by something else – something larger than democracy within the nation-state. The aim was also to find out whether a cosmopolitan democracy is possible among nation-states with the help of cosmopolitan theory. In order to receive this information the author ha

Medierna spelar en viktig roll i hur vi formar våra värderingar och uppfattningar om omvärlden. Mediernas sätt att framställa ett fenomen är i hög grad avgörande för vårt sätt att förstå det. Främlingsfientlighet och rasism är ämnen som har fått stor betydelse på senare tid då extremhögern har varit på frammarsch runt om i Europa. Det är därför viktigt att studera vilken roll medierna har i detta

Denna studie handlar om ett möte mellan Reggio Emilias filosofi och Rytmik. Följande frågor behandlas: Vad händer med barns lärande i mötet mellan Reggio Emilias pedagogiska filosofi och Rytmik? På vilket sätt påverkar förskolans förutsättningar lärandet? På vilket sätt utforskar barnen musik? Vad lär sig barnen? Studien, som genomförts med aktionsforskning, har gjorts på en förskola i en barngrupTitle: A meeting between the Reggio Emilia pedagogical philosophy and Eurhythmics. This study is about a meeting between the Reggio Emilia philosophy and Eurhythmics. The following questions are addressed: What happens to children's learning in the meeting between the Reggio Emilia philosophy and Eurhythmics? How do preconditions affect learning? How do children explore music? What do they lea

This chapter explores how the two contemporary political parties, the Sweden Democrats and the Danish People’s Party, use the Vikings and the Viking Age as symbols in their national mythmaking. It examines the political dimensions of public history and the way in which these parties draw historical parallels between the Viking Age and the present in order to call for action. The relationship betwe

This chapter takes an interest in the world of platforms for creative and cultural work. Platforms for creative and cultural work started to become popular in the late 20th century, and their popularity has grown rapidly over the years. Taking its point of departure from these platforms, this chapter aims to shed light upon and discuss the work of the professionals who handle and manage these plat

It is intended to be gradually filled with miscellaneous information about vascular plant taxa found in, or expected to be found in Swedish nature (i.e. including all kinds of ephemerals and garden escapes).

Sixty-four patients with active distal ulcerative colitis participated in a multicentre, randomized, investigator-blind trial to compare the effect of budesonide enema, 2 mg/100 ml, with prednisolone disodium phosphate enema, 31.25 mg/100 ml. Budesonide is a new potent corticosteroid with a rapid first-pass elimination. The patients were treated for 4 weeks, and the efficacy of the drugs were eval

Recent qualitative and quantitative research on the interrelationships between innovation, job quality and employment shows a strong association between job quality and product, process, and to a lesser extent organizational innovation. This is theorized as the interaction of two systems – job quality and innovation systems. Increased employment and improved job quality are found to result from inRecent qualitative and quantitative research on the interrelationships between innovation, job quality and employment shows a strong association between job quality and product, process, and to a lesser extent organizational innovation.

The concept of green democracy has been advanced in green political theory as a way to include the natural world in the political and, by that, overcome an alleged wall, a fundamental disunity, separating humans and nature in modernity and substitute it with a unity of identity that would bridge the gap between them. It has also been vested with the coupled power to transform society in a sustaina
