Behandlingseffekt av rituximab jämfört med infliximab vid reumatoid artrit
The aim of this study was to compare the effect between the drugs rituximab and infliximab in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). RA is an autoimmune disease that affects the peripheral joints and is associated with exacerbations. Various immune reactions in the body cause inflammation of the joints which further results in cartilage and bone damage. The diagnosis is made by the classification system "The 2010 American College of Rheumatology (ACR) / European league against rheumatism (EULAR) classification criteria for rheumatoid arthritis", which is an update of the older system called "The 1987 American College of Rheumatology classification criteria for RA". Approximately 0.5-1% of the population is developing the disease, but it varies slightly between different parts of the world.

Emotioner och emotionella uttryck i Sverige och Grekland
The purpose is to explore and describe norms and values concerning emotions and emotional expression inSweden and Greece from an emotionsociological perspective. Do emotional regimes on a national level existand if they do, how do they differ? To answer this question qualitative interviews have been conducted withnine Greek/Swedes, men and women of different ages, who have lived in both countries and who speak bothlanguages. A quantitative survey study, employing a survey previously used in a Swedish study about emotions,has also been undertaken. Previous studies have shown that emotional regimes do differ historically and acrosscultures, but no study so far has focused on the differences between examples of North European and SouthEuropean cultures.The theoretical framework consists mainly of Hochschild´s theories about feeling/display rules and emotionwork, but the analysis also draws on Collin´s theory of interaction ritual chains and on Sociology of Emotionsmore broadly.The results suggest that different national regimes can be distinguished primarily in terms of display rules andin the skills of emotional alternations.
Vägen till icke kriminell.? En livsstilsförändring.
What is it that drives a person with criminal behavior to change their
lifestyle? What are the obstacles to a lifestyle change? These issues have been
guiding us during this study. In the introduction, we describe the previous
research that has been done among crime in men. The themes that will follow us
through the course of the study are as follows; cause of crime, Self-efficacy,
social network and lifestyle change. The aim of the study was to investigate
the factors that a former prison convicted individual believes has been
significant, as they break their criminal behavior associated with a lifestyle
change.
Funktionella tester och utvärdering av skadepreventiv träning hos kvinnliga fotbollsspelare - en interventionsstudie
The exclusion of visually impaired from the information flow presented to us through signs was what led me into this project. With a growing amount of information being presented to us on signs and digital information surface the need of communicating this information in a way that could be read by visually impaired is evident. Looking into different ways of communication, my goal was to create something that filled the need of the visually impaired without branding them as disabled. Having a close relative with bad eyesight is became evident on how much it limited her in her everyday life, not being able to navigate herself without the support of her husband. Through interviews with her and others with varying diagnoses I reached an insight in their situation. To my surprise they still favored a visual form of communication before an auditory or tactile form, because it?s easy to survey and quick to interpret.
Betydelsen av etnicitet och partitillhörighet för riksdagsledamöternas intresse kring integrationspolitiken
Tidigare forskning om riksdagsledamöternas politiska intressen har pekat på partitillhörighetens betydelse för den enskilda riksdagsledamotens individuella intressen och möjlighet att uttrycka dem i interpellationer och motioner. Sociologisk forskning visar samtidigt att en social kategori som etnicitet kan ha betydelse både för individers identitet och för individers politiska intressen.I denna uppsats undersöks om riksdagsledamöter med utländsk bakgrund har ett större intresse för integrations- och invandringsfrågor än riksdagsledamöter utan utländsk bakgrund och om ett sådant eventuellt samband försvinner då man kontrollerar för partitillhörighet. Antagandena grundas i Bourdieus teori om etnicitet som ett kulturellt kapital samt Balibars och Wallersteins teori om etnicitet som en kulturell gemenskap. Undersökningen har även ett maktkritiskt perspektiv, där etnicitet ur ett intersektionalitetsperspektiv betonar maktstrukturers begränsningar för individens intressen och handlingsmöjligheter.En enkät skickades ut till samtliga riksdagsledmöter där de kunde skatta hur mycket de interpellerat och motionerat om invandrings- och flyktingfrågor under sin tid i riksdagen. Drygt 40 % av enkäterna besvarades.Analysen av enkätundersökningen visar att riksdagledamöterna med utländsk bakgrund totalt sett har ett större intresse för att motionera och interpellera om invandrings- och flyktingpolitik.
Manlig lusta eller tabu? En undersökande uppföljning av sexköpslagen. Lag (1998:408).
January 1, 1999, a new sex purchase law was introduced in Sweden, Lag (1998: 408). The law implies that in a sex trade a crime is committed only by the consumer in the sex trade. The majority of consumers in prostitution are men and the suppliers are women. When prostitution is problematized it's usually from the woman's point of view and the perspective of the man is often overlooked. The new law has shed light on the consumer and made the male more visible in the public debate.
Påvisande av Helicobacter spp hos hund : en metodologisk studie
The purpose of this study was to develop a reliable molecular-genetic method to determine the different species of helicobacter in dogs. The study is part of a larger project to map the prevalence of Helicobacter spp in healthy and sick dogs in Sweden, and to determine the possible connection of Helicobacter spp infection with gastrointestinal diseases in dogs.
Several published studies have reported on the prevalence of Helicobacter spp in dogs. The problem is that three of the most common species are so alike that a 16SrRNA-PCR with sequencing is not able to differentiate between them. In this study, DNA has been purified from samples and then a Multiplex PCR has been performed. Multiplex PCRs use multiple primers in one single PCR.

Arbetsmiljöansvar vid uthyrning av personal
As the staffing agency business is rapidly growing and suffering from accidents resulting in higher sick leave than in other businesses, it is of great interest to analyze which responsibilities prevail between the customer companies and the staffing agencies, when it comes to working environment for hired staff.The purpose of this essay is to clarify the distribution of responsibilities between customer companies and staffing agencies, regarding working environment. I would also like to analyze which consequences this distribution of responsibilities may lead to.To be able to answer these questions, I have chosen to use the legal dogmatic method together with the sociology of law method. I have studied legal sources, literature and also interviewed three persons who are active within the staffing agency business; one person from the Swedish Work Environment Authority, one person from the employers? side and one person from the employees? side.The conclusion of my survey is that the SAM-responsibility is divided equally between staffing agencies and customer companies, since the customer company who hires staff is equated with an employer. The employer must also ensure that there is an organized work adaptation and rehabilitation function within the company.

"...men en berusad kvinna är värre!" En studie om arbetslivets attityder kring mäns och kvinnors missbruk utifrån ett genusperspektiv
Working life is an arena that often reflects attitudes that already exist in our society. When alcohol- and drug abuse is detected among employees the employer has a statutory responsibility for rehabilitation. But the way how these employees gets to be treated is also influenced by attitudes. The purpose of this essay was to illustrate from a gender perspective how women's and men's alcohol- and drug abuse occur in working life and how the attitudes in our society towards their abuse reflect on trade life. Referring that, our intention was also to examine which consequences are given of how the individual is treated.
Åt var och en efter behov? Kriminalitet som markör för olika behandlingsalternativ
The aim of this study was to, using previously collected data from self-declared antisocial behaviour questionnaires, examine if the crime frequency has been different between adolescents that have either been referred to two different forms of open care in social service, child and youth psychiatric inpatient care or have been sent to Homes for Specialised Supervision. The criminality frequency and the most common crimes committed were compared between the study groups and further between genders in each particular study group. Statistical significance testing was used and the results of the survey revealed that juvenile delinquents that had committed severe criminal acts were represented in all four groups. The study group with adolescents in national care was the most different from other groups. These youths seemed to have had a lower crime frequency than the other groups with the exception assault and robbery.
