Negativa hemförhållanden har tidigare visats bidra till depressivasymptom. Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka: 1) omförhållanden som oro och katastroftänkande är mediatorer mellannegativa hemförhållanden och depressiva symptom, 2) om det finnsnågra könsskillnader i detta avseende. Studien baserades påinsamlade data från ett pågående projekt vid Örebro universitet. Enenkätundersökning utfördes på 18 högstadieskolor i tre mellansvenskastäder med totalt 2749 elever i årskurs 7 och 8. Resultaten visade enpositiv korrelation mellan negativa hemförhållanden och depressivasymptom, samt att båda faktorerna oro och katastroftänkande partielltmedierade mellan negativa hemförhållanden och depressiva symptom.Det fanns könsskillnader som visade att flickor som blev utsatta förpsykologisk kontroll speciellt hade ett katastroftänkande, somkorrelerade högt med depressiva symptom.

Kriget i Afghanistan som startade 2001 har bidragit till att många civila skadats och fått sätta livet till. En av anledningarna till detta är det ökade användandet av flygstridskrafter för att skydda egen marktrupp. Flygattacker är på många sätt en bra metod för att snabbt kunna bekämpa fientliga individer samt med stor eldkraft kunna verka över stora ytor. Baksidan av att använda flygbombningar är att det i flera fall drabbar dem som inte är det utpekade målet. Kan detta vara en bidragande faktor till ett ökat missnöje mot koalitionen i Afghanistan och en direkt ökning för stödet till rebellerna? Syftet med arbetet är att undersöka om det finns ett samband mellan koalitionens flygbombningar i Afghanistan och ett ökat stöd till talibanerna från civilbefolkningen.

Depression in young adults is a serious condition causing serious suffering for the victim. By finding risk factors for depression the opportunity for early preventive action is increased, which, in turn, may prevent a negative course. Two risk factors which have been shown to be related to depression are shame and rejection. Therefore this study examined the relationship between shameproneness, rejection sensitivity, shame-related events and depressive symptoms. The self-report questionnaires used were TOSCA, RSQ, Shaming index and BDI-II.

Objective: The out-of-hospital cardiac-arrest incidence in Sweden averages about 10 000 a year. Whether the victim will survive or not is dependent upon rapid actions according to the chain of survival ? early alarm, early CPR, early defibrillation and early medical treatment. While waiting for the ambulance the victim is completely dependent on immediate help from any bystander, because early CPR improves survival rates by two-three folds. Unfortunately not all bystanders start CPR because of different reasons.

The artist Pehr Hilleström has been credited as the founder of the Swedish genre painting. In the second half of the 18th century he began painting everyday subjects of the different social stratums. Today his paintings are noted for their way of showing us the culture of the time since the photograph still had still not been introduced.   Hilleström was a court painter for King Gustav III who wanted him to depict the Swedish people and their different costumes. The king thought the costumes were of great significance for their psychological impact on people and therefore used them as a way to unite the nation psychologically, both by the genre paintings and also by making a national costume. The costumes were used as a symbol of an unbroken tradition and national heritage.

The results showed that the care staff had different perceptions of mental illness in general and regarding the elderly.

The retail industry is complex and when it comes to the in-store environment conventional marketing tools seldom find their way. The impacts of in-store atmospherics on customers and the psychological impact the store environment has on their decision-making are rather remarkable. An in-store atmospheric that often is used in order to affect customers is music, in fact it is one of the in-store elements that has been investigated more carefully. Nevertheless, in spite several studies on music and its impact as an in-store atmospheric on customers, it is not yet obvious what applies. To bring some clarity on the subject this study is aspiring to explain what applies when it comes to playing music in grocery stores.

The purpose of this essay, entitled ?Heja Sverige! Heia Norge?, was to study the difference in nationalistic tendencies between Swedish and Norwegian news coverage of the 2015 FIS Nordic World Ski Championships in Falun, Sweden, which took place between 18 February and 1 March 2015. It was the fourth time the event took place in Falun, previous games having been held in 1954, 1974 and 1993.I performed a critical discourse analysis of a total of twelve articles split over two race days ? one where Swedish athletes outperformed Norwegian athletes and vice versa. I did this order to study if the news coverage in each of the two countries? most promininent sports papers; Sportbladet in Sweden and VG Sport in Norway, was charaterized by a nationalistic discourse, as well as comparing the two to find similarities and differences between them.Having based my analysis on theories and previous research regarding media events, nationalism, national identities, ?us and them?, imagined communities et cetera, I came to the conclusion that a nationalistic discourse is, without a doubt, present in the news coverage ? something very unique for sports journalism as a genre.
