Instruments related to work are commonly illuminated from an ill-health perspective. The need for a concise and useable instrument in workplace health promotion governed the aim of this paper which is to present the development process and quality assessment of the Work Experience Measurement Scale (WEMS). A survey, using a questionnaire based on established theories regarding work and health, and
Popular Abstract in Swedish Ämnet för avhandlingen är verbets morfologiska och stilistiska variation i den grekiska versromanen Erotokritos, ett av de främsta exemplen på den kretensiska renässansdiktningen. Undersökningen utgår från de i dikten förekommande verbformernas morfologiska variation, både vad avser stammar, ändelser och augment. Undersökningen koncentreras på de imperfektiva verbformerThe aim of the present study is to examine the polytypia (morphological variation) and semantic differentiations of the verb in Vitsentzos Kornaros' Erotokritos, to understand how these shape poetic style. We examine the stems and the endings in the imperfective active forms. Moreover, we investigate the augmented forms because at an early stage we found that Kornaros employs a degree of poetic li
The ability to understand and communicate about the actions of others is a fundamental aspect of our daily activity. How can we talk about what others are doing? What qualities do different actions have such that they cause us to see them as being different or similar? What is the connection between what we see and the development of concepts and words or expressions for the things that we see? To
An analytic approach for the estimation of the phase and amplitude imbalances caused by component mismatches and parasitic magnetic fields in two popular quadrature LC oscillators is presented. Very simple and closed-form equations are derived, proving that, although the two topologies share the same small signal circuit, they display very different sensitivities to the mentioned sources of imbala
Background - Patient-reported assessments of freezing of gait (FOG) in Parkinson's disease (PD), such as the FOG questionnaire (FOGQ), are needed because FOG is difficult to assess objectively. However, the measurement properties of the FOGQ have been sparsely assessed. Aim - To assess the measurement properties of the Swedish FOGQ, and to explore relationships between FOGQ scores and other aspect
This thesis investigates the causal relationships among alarms at the European Spallation Source (ESS), focusing on enhancing alarm management through advanced data analytics. The study explores these relationships using Dynamic Bayesian Networks (DBNs) complemented with well-defined Conditional Probability Distributions (CPTs). This approach models the cascading interactions of alarms based on th
This thesis investigates the practices and mobilities of the Danish OpenStreetMap community in order to understand how open-source mapping affects the problem-solving capacity. In more detail, my research challenges the perception of maps as ideal representations of the environment. Instead, it stresses the importance of mapping and the role of the mapper, who moves in a hybrid space, encountering
The Israel-Palestine conflict reached a critical juncture with the horrible attack by Hamas on Israel on October 7, 2023, triggering a devastating invasion by Israel into the Gaza Strip. This escalation catapulted the conflict into a global focus, intensifying calls for a ceasefire amidst mounting Israeli violence. Against this backdrop, this paper aims to analyze media framing of violence in conf
This thesis combines labour regime analysis with Marx’s distinctive class of modern landed property in a case-study situated at the small-scale gold mine La Mina Vincente. It examines how the Colombian state's efforts to formalize artisanal and small-scale mining (ASM) intersect with the presence of illegal armed groups, shaping the labour regime of La Mina Vincente. The study makes use of qua
The following thesis is an attempt to analyse the concept of narrative in and around retellings of the events surrounding Czechoslovakia during the First World War and how they are subsequently depicted. This is done by primarily looking at three primary source materials: in English Czech historiography from the past 20 years, an autobiography from WWI and a modern video game on the same subject.
This thesis investigates Nestlé’s impunity for aiding and abetting forms of child labour in Côte d’Ivoire through analysing the landmark case Doe v. Nestlé. By employing a qualitative content analysis, this study disseminates the nearly two-decade court battle of oral arguments before the Supreme Court, amicus briefs from interested third parties, court rulings, as well as an interview with the le
The complement system is an ancient component of the immune system, comprising three pathways: classical, lectin and alternative pathways. Central to these pathways is complement component C3, which converges the three pathways. C3 can be enzymatically cleaved into C3a which functions as an anaphylatoxin, and C3b, which functions as an opsonin. Previously, C3 was understood as a serum protein, how
This is a thesis about the Finnish populistic party Perussuomalaiset, in English the Finns Party. The party has become a force to be reckoned within the Finnish politics, therefore, knowing more about the Finns Party members is a must. The aim of the thesis is to map the identities of the Finns Party members and to find out why they chose this particular party. This is interesting because populism
Achilles tendon rupture is becoming more prevalent with an increasing population of middle aged people participating in recreational sports. A torn Achilles tendon will likely not regain its original function, and it is unknown what treatment options are optimal. The Achilles tendon structure and how the tendon heals after a rupture varies between humans. A potentially useful tool in understanding
In this work spectroscopic methods have been used to determine the effect of fluorophores on protein affinity. Fluorophores are used in many different contexts to mark proteins, genes or antibodies. By marking a construct with a fluorophore, it is possible to follow the localization and function in a biological system, but it is not often investigated how the bound fluorophore could affect the mar
