The aim of this thesis was to investigate primary care counselors’ actions, reasoning, and available resources they utilize when meeting patients affected by domestic violence. The overall goal was also to explore different factors and patterns that arose related to the work and to assess how prepared counselors are in handling situations related to domestic violence. A qualitative methodology inv
This thesis develops a Bayesian framework based on Gaussian processes for inferring parameters of differential operators from data and reconstructing the corresponding solution together with its uncertainty. Such inverse problems are often ill-posed and sensitive to noise, which makes classical deterministic inverse approaches unstable and limits their ability to quantify uncertainty. The setup co
This thesis consists of five papers on different aspects of parametervariation in some common exchange rate models.The first paper investigates the stability in the real exchange rate, witch is equivalent to purchasing power parity (PPP). In recent empirical literature on purchasing power parity, the focus has been on the stationarity of real exchange rates, instead of strict constancy. Earlier st
This dissertation aims at advancing the knowledge about the role of the labour market in the process of the technology-induced economic transformation, taking into account the variety of factors involved at micro-, meso-, and macro-levels of the economy and at different geographical scales. Empirically, the dissertation investigates the co-evolutionary dynamics of industrial restructuring and work
Transcription factors such as nuclear factor-kB (NF-kB), activator protein-1 (AP-1) and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) may play important roles in atherogenesis, by regulating chronic subclinical vascular inflammation. In the first study, we showed that VLDL activates the proinflammatory transcription factor NF-kB in endothelial cells both in vitro and in vivo. Oxidation of V
Bronchoconstriction is a hallmark in respiratory diseases such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Current therapies use bronchodilating agents in order to control the exacerbations produced by limited airflow and improve the quality of life of patients suffering from these diseases. Capsazepine, a compound derived from the active principle of hot pepper (Capsicum annuum),
Popular Abstract in French La rencontre des sexes est une nécessité pour la majeure partie des organismes appartenant au règne animal. Au cours de l’évolution, différentes modalités sensorielles, comme la vue, l’ouie et l’odorat, sont apparues et ont été perfectionnées pour permettre aux organismes de percevoir l’environnement qui les entourent, et de communiquer. Reconnaître ses pairs de ses enneChemical communication by means of sex pheromones is central to the mating systems of a wide range of organisms. Because reproductive isolation is often based on pheromone differences, understanding how pheromones diverge is necessary for a complete comprehension of the speciation process. Moths (Insecta: Lepidoptera) contributes highly relevant examples to the theory of speciation because subtle
Popular Abstract in Swedish Transportsektorn står för 63% av Sveriges använding av kol, olja och gas. Biobränslen som etanol, biodiesel och biogas står bara för 6.8% av energin som används för nationella transporter, biogas står för 12% av detta. Ökad produktion av biobränslen för transproter behöver inte betyda minskad produktion av jordbruks- och skogsråvaror för annat. Dels kan restprodukter anBiofuels are currently produced from agricultural crops, and an increasing use of crops for this application is expected in the EU in the years to come. The dominating crops cultivated in the EU for biofuel production today have a relatively large environmental impact. The European Energy Agency has identified several lignocellulosic crops, including industrial hemp, as more sustainable potential
Our paper tries to verify the relation between international banks’ expansion and international automotive corporations’ overseas business in China. Pervasive phenomena indicate that foreign banks take following their clients as the initial strategy when they start overseas business in China’s market. As many previous literatures analyzed, in the beginning stage in a new foreign market, multinatio
Utvecklingen av mer energieffektiva byggnader handlar idag till stor del om att använda mindre energi än gällande byggnormskrav. Ett sätt att bemöta de ständigt hårdare energikraven är att utnyttja byggnaders värmelagrande förmåga. För att kunna utnyttja en byggnads värmelagringsförmåga optimalt bör en tung stomme bestående av tegel, lättbetong, betong eller annat stenmaterial väljas, då dessa harThe development of more energy-efficient buildings is today mostly a matter of using less energy than current building norms requirements. A means of responding to the ever-tighter energy requirements is to make use of the energy-storing ability. In order to fully utilize a building's energy-storing ability, a heavy frame composed of brick, concrete, lightweight concrete or other stone materia
Det här kandidatarbetet är en guide till flera av Helsingborgs geologiska sevärdheter och kan med tillhörande kartblad användas i sin helhet för att nå ut till allmänheten. Syftet med guiden är att öka kunskapen om geologi och tipsa om utflyktsmål, samt att kartlägga geologiskt intressanta lokaler inom Helsingborgs kommun. Informationen i arbetet har samlats in från publicerade artiklar i tidskrif
Sammanfattning Principen om non-refoulement är en del av den internationella sedvanerätten och innebär att ingen stat får utvisa eller avvisa en person till ett land där dennes liv eller frihet kan hotas på grund av ras, religion, nationalitet, tillhörighet till viss samhällsgrupp eller politisk åskådning. I mål rörande asyl är det den sökande som har bevisbördan för att göra sitt behov av intern
Sverige blev medlem i den Europeiska unionen 1995. En viktig del i samarbetet är upprättandet av den inre marknaden. EG-fördraget är garanten för att fri rörlighet för varor, tjänster, kapital och personer ska vara möjlig mellan medlemsstaterna. Några hinder för den fria rörligheten får inte förekomma på dessa områden. EG-domstolen ser till att EG-fördragets bestämmelser efterlevs av medlemsstater
Ship mortgage and equivalent to it in civil law, hypothec, provides a mortgagee or the lender an opportunity to obtain security for his debt. The concept of this thesis is to compare Croatian and English systems of ship mortgage, hypothec. Relevant legislation of Merchant Shipping Acts in England and Maritime Code 2004 in Croatia, shall be used as a form of comparison as well as range of the relev
Maintainable source code is essential for sustainable development. Yet, many studies show that maintainability often receives less attention than it deserves. We argue that requirements engineering can help close this gap by fostering discussions and setting appropriate targets in a responsible manner. In this preliminary work, we explore industry practices related to requirements engineering for
Background: Motor fluctuations are routinely documented using the Parkinson's disease (PD) home diary. However, the validity of this diary when compared to clinical observers is limited. Objective: This study disassembled the effects of nonmotor symptoms (NMS) on inter-method agreement between the PD home motor diary and clinical observers (outside validity criterion). Methods: A prospective obser
Two-level systems (TLSs) are the basic units of quantum computers but face a trade-off between operation speed and coherence due to shared coupling paths. Here, we investigate a TLS given by a singlet-triplet (ST+) transition. We identify a magnetic-field configuration that maximizes dipole coupling while minimizing total dephasing, forming a compromise-free sweet spot that mitigates this fundamen
In order to understand and manipulate biological function at the molecular level, access to high-resolution structures of biological macromolecules is essential, as structure is intimately linked to function. The two main experimental techniques that can achieve atomic, or near-atomic, resolution are crystallography and electron microscopy. Unfortunately, the experimental data alone is typically n
In a high-energy physics data analysis, the term "fake" backgrounds refers to events that would formally not satisfy the (signal) process selection criteria, but are accepted nonetheless due to mis-reconstructed particles. This can occur, e.g., when leptons from secondary decays are incorrectly identified as originating from the hard-scatter interaction point (known as non-prompt leptons), or when
