Background: Although telemedicine grew rapidly during the COVID-19 pandemic, instruments to assess general practitioners’ (GPs) attitudes and behavioral intentions to use it are scarce. In Sweden, the Physicians’ Attitudes and Intentions to use Telemedicine (PAIT) questionnaire was developed from the “theory of planned behavior” in 2019 and translated into English in 2022. Objective: The aim of th
Abstract in UndeterminedThe success of the Wii and of the iPhone together with the persisting problem of displaying information on the small screens of mobile devices is currently pushing the development of non-visual interaction channels such as gestures, tactile/haptic interaction and sound. This development presents both potential and risk, since new channels of interaction may result either in
A very simple and extremely computationally efficient algorithm for blind separation of two speech sources from two mixtures is presented in this paper. The algorithm exploits the approximate W-disjoint orthogonality of speech signals and assumes specific sensors (microphones) setting that allows the sources to possess a feature we call cross high-low diversity. Two sources are said to be cross hi
UNLABELLED: There are three main methods used to assay factor VIII (FVIII) activity: the one-stage and two-stage clotting assays and the two-stage chromogenic method. The most commonly used assay for the diagnosis of haemophilia A is the automated one-stage FVIII assay. The classical two-stage FVIII assays are less frequently used. The chromogenic FVIII:C assay is a variant of the two-stage assay.
Today a dynamic analysis is often performed with the use of advanced finite element software. An advanced model normally produces precise results. Analyzing these large models of bridges is however time consuming and a detailed description of the geometry, supports and material properties must be known. In an early stage of a project a reduced model could significantly reduce the time needed to perf
In July 2021, single-use plastics will be banned from the European market, meaning that the plastic straws used with Tetra Pak’s portion packs will no longer be permitted. Therefore, Tetra Pak develops new straws, and it is important to test their functionality, something that previously has been done with panel tests. However, Tetra Pak has requested to aid the development process by minimizing t
Both during and after the pandemic, the trend of biophilic design has reached maximum acceleration. One of the consequences being an increasing interest in gardening and plant care in general. Though not everybody might have so called ‘green fingers’, everyone should have the opportunity to try, and a product that facilitates horticulture is the self watering planter. IKEA of Sweden is looking int
Minor Field Studies (MFS) is a grant programme funded by Sida, offering students the opportunity to conduct field studies in countries where Sweden has active strategies for development cooperation.

Purpose: Today’s chemical society use and emit an enormous number of different, potentially ecotoxic, chemicals to the environment. The vast majority of substances do not have characterisation factors describing their ecotoxicity potential. A first stage, high throughput, screening tool is needed for prioritisation of which substances need further measures. Methods: USEtox characterisation factors
The global climate is changing, mostly due to human impacts of greenhouse gases emissions. These changes in climate have lead to an increase in global warming, increasing extreme storm events and an increase in sea-level etcetera. Areas located along the coast will suffer from coastal erosion and flooding as a result of the impact from the climate changes. These impacts can lead to major socio-eco

The high surface-to-volume ratio of nanoparticles (NPs) makes them an interesting source for scientific research. How interfacial energies interplay between such a small structure and a solid bulk surface, are important because of the versatile applications NPs regard. In this thesis, a convenient and reliable method for interfacial energy determination was investigated. The interfacial energies
The increasingly rapid urbanization has led to vast impervious surface areas in the urban environment. This situation of impervious surfaces has increased the surface temperature and interrupted the natural water circle, which has negatively impacted the urban environment. Human activities' continuous greenhouse gas emission has contributed to global climate change, which has caused some atmos
Moving forward, higher education will face a variety of challenges, especially in 2020/2030, due to technological development and digitalization. Digitalization in society has grown, and society fosters digital citizenship to a greater extent. Students entering higher education today have grown up with the Internet and mobile devices. Daily life, schools, and work have also become more mobile beca
