PHC providers issued formal physical activity prescriptions for home-based activities or referrals for facility-based activities. Subjects. O
The importance of supply chains and the dissemination of EMS concept trigged this research to explore the environmental supply chain requirements, the way these requirements are controlled and to reveal the potential interface with EMS. The focus of this research has been in supply chains in Sweden and Poland. Interviews were conducted with companies of various sectors and members of the consultan
Employee benefits can be seen as an HRM practice that has received increased attention among practitioners, while scholars’ interest in this theme has been moderate. The previous research focus has mostly been on how benefits contribute to organizational outcomes such as commitment, retention and attraction of employees. As opposed to this dominant view, this study sets out to explore employee ben
Previous open-label trials testing glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) family ligands in Parkinson disease have shown promising clinical effects. However, in placebo-controlled trials, the treatments have failed. A new randomized placebo-controlled trial of intraputamenal delivery of GDNF designed to resolve this conundrum has again failed to do just that.
Studiens fokus är på skogsbränderna i Sverige år 2018, då tio gånger mer markyta påverkades av bränder än genomsnittet under föregående år. Syftet med studien är att undersöka en bred forskningsfråga: har vägar en påverkan på storleken hos den brända ytan i en löpeld? Studien bygger på tidigare forskning om hur spridningen av löpeld påverkas av vägar. Bland olika statistiska metoder valdes slutligThis study focuses on the Swedish wildfire season of 2018, when the country incurred ten times more than the average burnt area that occurred in previous years. The study aims to address a broad research question: Do roads influence the size of the burned area? This study fills the gap in research on the effects of roads in the spatial patterns of wildfires. Moreover, the research hopes to include
The purpose with this thesis is to examine if strategic and tactical asset allocation are used within Swedish balanced funds and to outline how these investment strategies are used, by identifying trends. Compiled data over the asset allocation within Swedish balanced funds 12 years back has been analyzed by defining strategic and tactical asset allocation in quantitative terms. With several hypo
Chondromodulin I (chm-I), a type II transmembrane protein, is highly expressed in the avascular zones of cartilage but is downregulated in the hypertrophic region, which is invaded by blood vessels during enchondral ossification. In vitro and in vivo assays with the purified protein have shown chondrocyte-modulating and angiogenesis-inhibiting functions. To investigate chm-I function in vivo, we g
Objectives: This Study examines the initial course of the fibronlyalgia syndrome [FMS] and the influence of physical and psychosocial work-place factors on developing FMS. Methods: Patients with FMS were recruited to participate in a structured interview about pain and physical and psychosocial load. In addition, they participated in a clinical examination. Physical load in occupational life was a
To investigate whether factors in the fetal or neonatal period influence the risk of later development of coeliac disease we conducted a population-based register study. The Swedish Medical Birth Register was linked with the Hospital Discharge Register and identified 3392 singleton infants born in the period 1987-97 who developed coeliac disease. Perinatal data for these children were compared wit
This paper presents a heterogeneous reconfigurable cell array, designed for high-throughput baseband processing of multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems. To achieve high performance and energy efficiency while retaining high flexibility, the proposed architecture adopts heterogeneous and hierarchical resource deployments. Additionally, extensive vector computation enhancements and flexible
Endovascular repair has become the primary treatment option for abdominal aortic aneurysms over the past decade. The favorable results as well as technical evolution have led endovascular repair to include fenestrated and branched technology for complex juxtarenal, suprarenal, and thoracoabdominal aneurysms. These grafts are, however, extensively customized and patient tailored at present precludi
BACKGROUND: This cross-sectional study is aimed at describing and investigating empowerment and its relationships with level of engagement in daily activities and community life, experienced stigma, psychopathology, and quality of life among people with mental illness entering supported employment. METHOD: The following scales were administered to 120 persons: Empowerment Scale, Profiles of Occupa
The literature on employee spinoffs has, for a long time, stressed the importance of industry-specific skills and experiences in explaining the success of new firms. We argue that employees also develop skills that are associated with their occupation within an industry, and that success as an entrepreneur, therefore, is also contingent on the relation between the entrepreneurs’ previous occupatio
