I denna uppsats undersöks vilka förutsättningar det finns att, inom ramen för nuvarande arbetsmiljölagstiftning, på ett tillfredsställande sätt leva upp till arbetsgivarens organisatoriska och sociala arbetsmiljöansvar då arbetstagaren på arbetsgivarens inrådan helt eller till stor del arbetar hemifrån. Uppsatsen fokuserar på förhållanden applicerbara på konventionella anställningar för tjänstemänThis thesis examines the conditions that exist, within the framework of current work environment legislation, to satisfactorily live up to the employer's organisational and social work environment responsibilities when the employee, on the employer's advice, works entirely or largely from home. The thesis focus on conditions applicable to conventional employment for white-collar workers, a

This is the report of a master thesis in Mechanical Engineering with Industrial Design at Lund Institute of Technology, in collaboration with Dresser Wayne AB in Malmö. This master thesis aims to develop and design a new compact pay terminal for use at gas stations. Before the end of 2010 a new standard for credit card handling will be introduced in most of Europe. This new standard is called EM

The campus of the National Metsovian Polytechnic in central Athens (henceforth Polytechneio), which was constructed in the late 19th century, has been a significant cornerstone in the sociopolitical landscape of the city. Within the history of modern Greece, Polytechneio is regarded as a symbol of resistance against the Greek military dictatorship (junta) in 1973. The surrounding wall of Polytechn

Background: Visual expertise is pivotal for accurate ECG interpretation. We aimed to identify and measure expertise-based differences in visual search patterns, cognitive load, and diagnostic accuracy during ECG analysis using eye-tracking technology. Methods: First- to third-year residents and board-certified expert cardiologists interpreted ECGs of patients with suspected acute coronary syndrome

New family stuctures are constantly emerging in society. Are these changes mirrored in foster care practice? The aim of this study was to explore to what extent homosexual families are represented when a child is given a foster home. The nuclear family has throughout history been assured a stable position both in society as well as in the foster care practice. During the last ten years a homosexua

Vilka diskurser ger elever och lärare uttryck för i pianoundervisning? Syftet med min uppsats är att undersöka hur pianoelever och pianolärare på kulturskolan och inom ett studieförbund genom språket ger uttryck för en mängd förhållningssätt och attityder. Vad sägs i samtalen kring deras undervisning och vilka diskurser och tankekollektiv bildar dessa åsikter tillsammans? Jag har använt mig av fyr

By Timo Minssen (CeBIL, UCPH), Sara Gerke & Carmel Shachar A recent US lawsuit highlights crucial challenges at the interface of data utility, patient privacy & data misuse The huge prospects of artificial intelligence and machine learning (ML), as well as the increasing trend toward public-private partnerships in biomedical innovation, stress the importance of an effective governance and

Plants release to the atmosphere reactive gases, so-called volatile organic compounds (VOCs). The release of VOCs from vegetation is temperature-dependent and controlled by vegetation composition because different plant species release a distinct blend of VOCs. We used modelling approaches on ecosystem VOC release data collected across the Arctic, which is experiencing both rapid warming and veget

At Lund University and Skåne University Hospital in Lund, Sweden, we have, as the first clinic, modified a clinical Elekta Precise linear accelerator for convertible delivery of ultrahigh dose rate (FLASH) irradiation. Whereas recently published reviews highlighted the need for standardised protocols for ultra-high dose rate beam dosimetry to be able to determine the true potential of FLASH irradi

This study aimed at exploring whether 3D technology enhances tennis decision-making under the conceptual framework of human performance model. A 3 (skill-level: varsity, club, recreational) × 3 (experimental condition: placebo, weak 3D [W3D], strong 3D [S3D]) between-participant design was used. Allocated to experimental conditions by a skill-level stratified randomization, 105 tennis players judg

BackgroundThe needs of care based on palliative principles are stressed for all people with progressive and/or life-limiting conditions, regardless of age and the place in which care is provided. Person-centred palliative care strives to make the whole person visible and prioritizes the satisfaction of spiritual, existential, social, and psychological needs to the same extent as physical needs. Ho

Background: Early involvement of students in research processes is an important step in professional development and can increase the academic output of the university. Previous studies indicate low research involvement amongst undergraduate students, however limited research has been done in sub-Saharan Africa. This study aimed to describe the level of research involvement amongst undergraduate s

Aim: The aim was to identify the primary drivers of compositional change in breeding bird assemblages over a 40-year period. Location: Britain. Time period: From 1970 to 2010. Major taxa studied: Birds. Methods: Using morphological trait measurements and a dataset of presence–absence data for British breeding birds surveyed in 10 km × 10 km hectads during two time periods, we calculated temporal t

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate whether suicidality was documented prior to suicide in patients in contact with specialised somatic healthcare providers for physical conditions and to identify factors related to such documentation.DESIGN AND SETTINGS: Retrospective cohort study in which medical records from specialised somatic (non-psychiatric) healthcare services (internal medicine, infectious disease, s

This report presents the results of sediment sampling in Rönne å (river) at Ängelholm, located in the north-western part of Scania, which is the southern-most province in Sweden. The sampling and subsequent grain-size analysis were performed primarily to verify hypotheses about main mechanisms controlling local scour at a number of sites where scour holes had been observed in the river during deta

The increasing urbanization trends in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) and the proliferation of urban poverty together with the explosion of informal urban settlements have lead to a shift in the international poverty alleviation agenda from the focus on rural poverty to an increased emphasis put on the particularities of urban poverty. Kenya is one of the fastest urbanizing countries in SSA and the major

This master thesis addresses the electrically powered assisted bicycle (EPAC) as a future low-carbon commuting option and its market. The purpose of the report is to evaluate whether the EPAC can be used to improve the climate performance of the transport sector and to assess the outlook for the Swedish EPAC market. The EPAC is compared to the bicycle, car, bus and train and assessed thereafter. T

Sweden today is suffering from a housing shortage. Not least among young adults, students in particular. One reason to why the supply of housing is insufficient and unable to meet the demands most likely has to do with the slow construction rate that occured between the years of 2008 and 2012. The slow construction rate combined with an increased demand in proportion to the growing population has

För att effektivare nå uppställda mål och för att skapa en snabbare projekteringsprocess så har ett antal forskare på CIFE (Center for Facility Engineering) tagit fram en mötesmetodik de har benämnt ICE. ICE kännetecknas av stora möten där fler teknikområden representeras för att driva projektet framåt. Sweco, det studerade företaget, har som första svenska konsultföretag inom anläggningsbranschenWith the aim to reach goals in a more efficient way and to create a faster process for projects scientists in CIFE (Center for Facility Engineerig) developed a method for meetings they call ICE. ICE is known as a bigger form of meeting where many technique-areas gather to make the project move forward. Sweco, the company where the study took place, is the first Swedish consulting company to certif
