The purpose of this paper was to examine how five persons who identify themselves as porn addicts view their addiction in terms of how the addiction have come about, what affective experiences they associate with the addiction, how it affects their relations to others, what makes them continue using pornography, what forms the addiction takes and how they live with their addiction today. Based on

Abstract Our society is facing a changing demographic with an increasing proportion of the elderly, and in addition there is an increased need for housing adapted for this older population. There is much in the physical environment that can be adapted to meet the needs of the coming generation of elderly people. The need of healthcare for today’s elderly will look different from previous generat

Popular Abstract in English Nowadays, the majority of energy production comes from combustion which is universally linked to daily human activities. Public awakening of the environmental effects of combustion pollution evokes extensive research activities in improving combustion efficiency and reducing pollutant production. Development of combustion processes also includes the use of renewable bioThe work presented in the thesis concerns the developments of laser-based diagnostics and its application to the study of turbulent premixed combustion. The diagnostic developments, mainly concerned with planar laser-induced fluorescence (PLIF), are intended to provide instantaneous visualization of the key species originating from the combustion processes involved in the burning of hydrocarbons

When Jane Austen wrote Pride and Prejudice (1813), she created a formula that amateur and professional authors alike would follow. The heroine and the hero undergo a journey of emotional work as they figure out each other’s genuine intents. Two modern novels that are inspired by Pride and Prejudice are The Duke and I (2000) by Julia Quinn and Bridget Jones’s Diary (1996). This essay studies what t

Få blir nog förvånade om någon hävdar att beräkningar inom partikelfysik är invecklade. Bara för att beräkna sannolikheten att den enklaste processen vi tar hänsyn till (vilket är när två elektroner krockar och studsar mot varandra) krävs det åtminstone tre-fyra sidor med ren matematik, och svårigheterna växer snabbt ju mer komplexa processer vi arbetar med. För att kunna ha teoretiska värden att

Since the beginning of statebuilding interventions following the end of the Cold War, they have been strictly focused on rebuilding state institutions, wherever they have taken place. As a growing percentage of states that had experienced civil war relapsed into new intrastate conflicts, it started to dawn on researchers that this approach was inadequate. Focus amongst researchers started to turn

MODELING LAND-COVER USING BIO-CLIMATE VARIABLES Vegetation (land-cover) is an inherent part of the climate system (M.-J. Gaillard et al. 2010). Natural, primarily climate-driven, vegetation and ecosystem processes interact with human land-use to determine vegetation patterns, stand structure and their development through time (e.g. Vitousek et al., 1997). The resulting land surface properties feed

This master thesis is a part of the research project named TESSPA which is carried out at the department of Industrial Production at Lund Institute of Technology. The purpose of this research project is to develop a work methodology and an IT - support to identify different options of production development in order to make production companies more efficient and competitive. Within the TESSPA - p

Research Question: How does international knowledge and its sources impact the strategic entrepreneurship of internationalized Swedish SMEs? Methodology: A qualitative research of Swedish SMEs, where the research was predominantly cross-sectional in nature. 17 firms were investigated and semi-structured interviews were the primary source of data. The data was analyzed in an inductive matter. TheResearch Question: How does international knowledge and its sources impact the strategic entrepreneurship of internationalized Swedish SMEs?

For well over a century, migration researchers have recognized the lack of adequate distance measures to be a key obstacle for advancing understanding of internal migration. The problem arises from the convention of spatially defining migration as the crossing of administrative borders. Since administrative regions vary in size, shape, and settlement patterns, it is difficult to tell how far moverFor well over a century, migration researchers have recognized the lack of adequate distance measures to be a key obstacle for advancing understanding of internal migration.

This thesis consists of two parts. In the rst part, the iterative data-adaptive BIAA spectral estimation technique was extended to estimate lateral blood velocities using ultrasound scanners. The BIAA method makes no assumption on samples depth or sampling pattern, and therefore allows for transmission in duplex mode imaging. The technique was examined on a realistic Field II simulation data set,

The aim of the article is to explore trade unions’ use of Internet and social media in communicating with members and to understand membership in the digital era. A point of departure is that new forms of relationships between individuals and organizations are on the rise as our present societies become more digitalized, which has changed how citizens interact, mobilize, and organize.

The multi-electrode electrical resistivity method has become one of the most efficient geophysical methods used in a wide range of applications, which is also suitable when disturbances in the ground are to be avoided. The selection of the right electrode configuration can provide better effectiveness, depending on the target being investigated.
