This study deals with the contribution of the genetic variant lactase persistence among Neolithic people from the Baltic Island Öland. Skeletal remains from twelve Individuals went through DNA sequencing in order to find the mutation that allows adult Individuals to digest milk sugar. The twelve Individuals were chosen from two different Neolithic sites, where the archaeological and isotopic data suggest that the Individuals from Köpingsvik were hunters and gatherers and the Individuals from Resmo were early farmers. The Individuals with the genetic variant lactase persistence can be described with selection and genetic flow.  Only five Individuals produced results and the mutation was found in two of the subjects. All the Individuals who were successfully sequenced came from Resmo, whereasno Individuals from Köpingsvik yielded any results.

The aim of this study was to describe and understand how Individuals in adulthood experienced a childhood with neglect, and how they handled neglect. In order to reach the perspective of the Individuals who grew up with neglect, we chose to use autobiographical books as our empirical material. The criteria the autobiographies had to meet in order to fall within the scope of this study was that the biographies had to display the experience of neglect during childhood, and thereto the books had to be written by Individuals who themselves experienced neglect. Based on the aim of this study we sought answers to three questions: How do the Individuals describe their upbringing with a mentally or socially disabled parent? How have the Individuals coped with the neglect they?ve been exposed to? What consequences have the neglect supposedly led to? The findings of this study show that the extent to which the Individuals experienced neglect were profound and comprising.

In the digitized world many organizations experience a large flow of information. To sort and manage all the information can be difficult. Individuals may experience a phenomenon called ?Information Overload?, due to the fact that the information flow is too extensive. There are various reasons why Individuals are affected by this phenomenon.

13 Individuals from the Viking Age trading place in Fröjel, Gotland, were examined for this thesis. The aim was to gain a deeper knowledge about the Individuals, and the main focus was to study their health. Three men, eight women and two children were examined. The age of the two children was estimated to around birth, and was no longer relevant for this thesis. The age distribution showed that two Individuals were young (10-24 years), seven Individuals were adults (18-44 years) and two Individuals were middle-aged or older (35-79 years).

The aim of this pilotstudy was to compare the plaqueformation during four weeks in Individuals using a mouthrinse containing either essential oils (Listerine Cool Mint) or CPC (Colgate Total) as a complement to their ordinary toothbrushing. Another purpose was to evaluate the individual?s experiences regarding taste and sensation in the mouth after rinsing. A semiblind, clinical pilotstudy was conducted in 20 Individuals at a university in southern Sweden. According to a screening-plaqueindex the Individuals were stratified into two intervention-groups of ten people, one group rinsing with essential oils and one group with CPC twice daily as a complement to their toothbrushing routine.

The aim of this study was to describe the prevalence of gingivitis, periodontitis and dental caries in Individuals with type 2 ? diabetes. The study was conducted in a form of a general literature review with the restricted to the following conditions: human studies, English, and articles published between 2007 - 2012. Articles lacking a control group were excluded. The data were collected through searches of the medical database PubMed. A compilation of 11 scientific articles was examined.

This study examined if Individuals act in a less discriminating way and in a more fair way when they receive instructions about justice and not being discriminating while recruiting. 96 randomly assigned students at the University of Lund participated in this study. The participants were informed that they would act as a recruiter. They would then choose and place three of the best personal record in order of preference. There were three different kinds of company policies/instructions.

In Sweden the voluntary socialwork is a complement to the public authorities. The voluntary organisations has become more important considered helping people in different situations of need.The aim of this study has been to examine the voluntary organisations meaning for Individuals.The aim was reached through interviews by five guests from different organisations. We have also interviewed two employees from the different organisations to find out if there is any differences in their way of work.This study indicates that the organisations means a lot for the Individuals. The social network, something to do during the day, a kind treatment but also the milieu are factors that seems important for the Individuals. The organisations even creates a feeling of connection and satisfy other kind of needs.

The purpose of this study was to investigate, through a qualitative survey, the need of knowledge and strategy in organisations today and tomorrow. The empirical investigation is built on a semi structured interview that was conducted on nine different companies in Gislaveds community. The companies were from three different branches namely: tree, metal and polymer. Three interviews were conducted in each branch.The result from the interviews showed that the globalisation had put the companies under hard competition which had made the need for rationalisation and effectivness more apparent. Having said this, the demands on the organisation and the Individuals within it will constantly increase.

The purpose of this case study is to demonstrate how societal mechanisms can impact on asylum seekers and influence their individual identity. The information for this case study was collected through comprehensive interviews with a group of asylum seekers from Söderhamn whereby the Individuals expressed their perception of their current situation. From the gathered material we could see a pattern emerge which gave us the framework and the foundation for our theoretical approach. The similarity we discovered when analyzing the material was the powerlessness the Individuals experienced e.g. the Individuals had no possibility to influence their current situation and worse, it was impossible for the Individuals to enter society even when they had the willpower to do so.

The aim of this theoretical study is to explain how the notion of the Other and Otherness affect Individuals possibilities to form multiple, personal identities. This is done by the use of the theory of the Other and the construction of identities. In my analysis I will be using the power perspective presented by Lukes. The purpose of my study is also to investigate whether a focus on similarity over difference between groups can change the situation for IndividualsMy study shows that otherness affect Individuals identity constructions through stereotyping and categorising. This is made possible by the use of power from outside and inside different groupings.

The purpose of this study was to examine the differences and similarities between coping strategies used by Individuals with the disability ADHD in childhood and later adulthood. The questions we asked ourselves: Are the Individuals using the same form of coping in adulthood as in childhood? What copingstrategies used Individuals while growing up? What coping-strategies used the Individuals in adulthood? To fulfill the purpose and answer the questions, we used qualitative methods. Interviews were conducted with four adults who have the disa-bility ADHD. The interviews were analyzed by the hermeneutic circle.
