Substantial research and development efforts are being made to add driver support systems to the arsenal of traffic safety measures. Obviously, the system cannot reduce fatalities and trauma until it is actually used. Hence, drivers’ experiences and acceptance of the system are of paramount importance. A driver support system (ISA) has been investigated by means of real life trials in Sweden, Hung
This report is a result of the work in projects for The Swedish Rescue Services Agency and for The National Board of Civil Emergency Preparedness. The problem is defined as difficulties in establishing rapid and effective management in major fire-fighting and rescue operations. The analyses result in a view that emergency management can be seen as cognitive modelling. The management work of major
We invited 1604 randomly selected women, all 75 years of age, to participate in a study on the risk factors for fracture. The women were divided into three groups consisting of 1044 (65%) who attended the complete study, 308 (19%) respondents to the study questionnaire only and 252 (16%) who did not respond. The occurrence of the life-time fracture was ascertained from radiological records in all
Popular Abstract in French L'inquiétude grandit quant à la perte de la biodiversité liée aux changements d'utilisation des terres, l’effet de cette perte sur les services écosystémiques fournis par les communautés naturelles et semi-naturelles et, finalement, la menace que cela pourrait entraîner sur le bien-être de l’Homme. Ce travail de thèse examine l'impact de l'utilisation des terres présenteConcerns are increasing about the loss of biodiversity under land use change and how this will affect the ecosystem services provided by natural and semi-natural communities and consequently how this will threaten human well-being. The thesis examines the impact of present and past land use on different aspects of biodiversity; namely species diversity, traits and functional diversity and on ecos
This paper presents design and implementation of a coarse-grained reconfigurable architecture, targeting digital signal processing applications. The proposed architecture is constructed from a mesh of resource cells, containing the separated processing and memory elements that communicate via a hybrid interconnect network. Parameterizable design of resource cells enables flexible static mapping of
Growing research on social capital and health has fuelled the debate on whether there is a place effect on health. A central question is whether health inequality between places is due to differences in the composition of people living in these places (compositional effect) or differences in the local social and physical environments (contextual effects). Despite extensive use of multilevel approa
Rational, autonomous agents that are able to achieve their goals in dynamic, partially observable environments are the ultimate dream of Artificial Intelligence research since its beginning. The goal of this PhD thesis is to propose, develop and evaluate a framework well suited for creating intelligent agents that would be able to learn from experience, thus becoming more efficient at solving thei
The concept of mindfulness refers to a state and a skill that is characterized by conscious awareness of the here-and-now, as well as an observing, accepting attitude to one’s own experiences. Various kinds of mindfulness-related methods have become increasingly more important during the last decade within cognitive and behavioural psychotherapy. The article contains a discussion of possible thera
This study was directed towards personality-related, value system and sociodemographic variables of nursing students in a situation of change, using a longitudinal perspective to measure their improvement in principle-based moral judgement (Kohlberg; Rest) as possible predictors of stress. Three subgroups of students were included from the commencement of the first three-year academic nursing prog
Measurements of regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) were performed in 16 women suffering from spider phobia. The non-invasive 133Xe inhalation method, giving information about the blood flow of superficial areas, was used. The subjects were studied under three conditions: during resting, when exposed to a videotape showing nature scenery, and finally when watching a video with living spiders. Duri

Information om information kring klimatanpassning Klimatet förändras, och denna förändring är med största sannolikhet orsakad av människan. Detta konstateras av FNs klimatpanel i deras senaste rapport. Det finns idag information om vilka utmaningar vi står inför och jag har i min studie tittat på hur denna information används i kommuners arbete med klimatanpassning. Det finns en liknelse som föThis study has looked at eight municipalities in Scania and how they use climate related information in their work with climate adaptation, and what information they would like to have access to in order to take the next step. The municipalities were chosen on the basis of population and are no extreme cases; rather they are examples of an average Swedish municipality. How the usage of information
I dagens samhälle ställs allt högre krav på organisationer och dess förmåga att vara flexibla och anpassningsbara. Torts det slutar inte sällan förändringsarbeten i ett misslyckande. Forskningen kring kommunikation i organisationsförändringar har påvisat viktiga faktorer men är trots det fortfarande ett relativt outforskat område. Genom sju kvalitativa intervjuer och en netnografisk studie har vi In today's society there are increasing demands on organizations and its ability to be flexible and adaptable. However, many changes ends in failure. Research on communication in organizational changes has proven to be important factors, but is still a relatively unexplored area. Through seven qualitative interviews and a online ethnography, we have done a study that investigates employees exp
The development of electrical circuit boards is increasing and the time spent in the development stage can be quite long. The thesis has tried to shorten the time spent developing new electrical circuit boards, by first finding a common denominator for efficiency losses in the development process and then implementing an example solution. The problem identified was the lack of attention towards pr
This study explores journalistic routines during the corona pandemic, with the aim of contributing to the hitherto sparse area of research focusing on the pandemics impact on journalism. Previous research emphasizes the complexity of news production and editorial work, and testifies to the variety of possible theoretical perspectives when studying journalistic routines. To enable a broader underst
The study considers the phenomenon of double alienation, by which is meant the immigrant’s feeling of in a sense being alienated in their native country as well as in the new one. Those elements of their behaviour which are common in the one country or the other are expected there, whereas those which are not are seen as strange and different. This gives the immigrant a feeling of being at home in
JM AB, Sverige region syd, vill undersöka hur stort intresset bland kunderna ser ut för att köpa en bostad som är Svanenmärkt producerad. I rapporten undersöks det även om det finns någon skillnad med att producera en Svanenmärkt bostad jämfört med att producera en bostad på det traditionella sättet utan några miljöcertifieringar. För att få en bostad Svanenmärkt så krävs det att en kravlista uppfJM AB, Region South in Sweden, wants us to investigate the amount of interest amongst customers in purchasing Nordic Swan Ecolabelled houses. This report will also examine whether there are any differences between producing a Nordic Swan Ecolabelled house compared with producing a house in the traditional way without any environmental certifications. In order to have a home labelled with the Nordi
Social work has been the subject for many reformations during the last decades. One change in the execution of meeting the needs of the public – a changed delegation order – decreases the social workers’ right to make decisions, in the social service’s housing unit in a Swedish municipality. The aim of this study was to investigate what this change means for the professionals at this organization,
