Tvångssyndrom består av obsessioner och kompulsioner och drabbar cirka två procent av befolkningen. Efter avslutad behandling är det många patienter som återfaller. Syftet med föreliggande studie är att undersöka huruvida tilläggsbehandling administrerad sex månader efter initial internetadministrerad kognitiv beteendeterapi (KBT) minskar risken för återfall och ökar andelen patienter som uppnår remission, vilket inte tidigare prövats. 97 deltagare, som redan erhållit internetadministrerad KBT, randomiserades till att ingå i behandlingsgrupp eller kontrollgrupp. Tilläggsbehandlingen bestod av tre veckor internetadministrerad KBT med fokus på att fasa ut behandlarens funktion till deltagarens närmaste omgivning.

In this thesis, the Train Power System Simulator (TPSS) has been compared and verified with the commercial simulator TracFeed® Simulation (TracFeed). The basis for the comparison was a given part of the Swedish railway system, with steel transportation trains. Primarily, emphasis was placed on running time and energy consumption in simulation results. Two transformer systems were analyzed, Booster and auto transformers. The high voltage transmission line, parallel to the railroad track, was disconnected in some simulations.

Introduction: Every year about 450 women in Sweden are diagnosed with cervical cancer, almost 200 die and thousands undergo surgery because of cell changes in the cervix. A HPV infection can lead to cervical cancer and therefor costs for the society. The implementation of a vaccination program against HPV is a way to avoid these costs. Aim: The study aimed to calculate the economic impact of the HPV- vaccination program for children in Sweden through a cost-benefit analysis. Method: In this analysis, status quo was compared with non-administration of the HPV-vaccine for the selected cohort of ten-years-old girls in Sweden.

According to the National Agency for Education 06-06-2010 are approximately 115 000 students graduating from Secondary School in the year of 2010.Out of these students, we know that thousands of them are hampered by reading and writing disabilities in various degrees. Have these students been given the best support needed when it comes to writing and reading?Compensation may be perceived as a goal for the pupil to catch up with the rest of the educational group or as a vehicle to go round the difficulties. In Sweden, diagnosed dyslexics are not allowed to use speech synthesis, a compensatory technical aid, during the 9th degree national tests.This study?s purpose is to discover if the usage of speech synthesis during the national test of Swedish and reading comprehension might work as a motivation Booster for the students and consequently increase their test scores.This is a quantitative study including study including 15 pupils with diagnosed reading and writing disabilities.
