Browning of inland waters has been noted over large parts of the Northern hemisphere and is a phenomenon with both ecological and societal consequences. The increase in water color is generally ascribed to increasing concentrations of dissolved organic matter of terrestrial origin. However, oftentimes the increase in water color is larger than that of organic matter, implying that changes in the c
Objective. To analyze the experience of a single centre using stent-grafts for treatment of complicated acute aortic type B-dissections (EVR-ABD). Design. Retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data from patients undergoing EVR-ABD between January 1997 and December 2004. Methods. EVR-ABD was performed in 31 patients (20 males, median age 74. years (IQR: 64-79)). Indications for treatmen
Surgery in infants and young children with haemophilia, when preceded by accurate diagnosis and accompanied by safe and effective factor prophylaxis, is not associated with a significant risk of haemorrhage. Haemophilic newborns undergoing circumcision or major surgery prior to diagnosis and in the absence of appropriate haemostatic prophylaxis remain as a concern. Inhibitor development has replac
Working from home, previously framed as the same concept as teleworking, is a practice that had already increased in the past decades, but the current health crisis (SARS-2 COVID19) exacerbated the number of home workers all of a sudden (Popovici & Lavinia, 2020). Thus, many workers were forced to manage the boundaries between work and home without experience nor the physical boundary that is
Trots att det finns fördelar med fysisk aktivitet har studier visat att deltagande inom idrott minskar med åldern (Biddle, 2008; Oja et al, 2015; Ståhle, 2008). Syftet med denna studie var därför att undersöka hur motivationsklimat på träningen för vuxna idrottare upplevs och deras resonemang kring hur ett motivationsklimat fördelaktigt ska se ut. Studien konstruerades efter ”Achievement Goal TheoDespite benefits of physical activity, studies have shown that participation in sport decreases with age (Biddle, 2008; Oja et al, 2015; Ståhle, 2008). The goal of the study was to examine how the motivational climate during training for adult athletes is experienced and their reasoning around how a motivational climate should look like. The study was based upon Achievement Goal Theory through Nic
Events that can be described as high impact and low probability (HILP-events) have been proven difficult to deal with, for example background data often is sparse. Due to the construction of traffic tunnels these events need to be taken into consideration. A tool for doing this is risk analysis, and with this tool the events can be identified and handled with a quantitative or qualitative approach
Detta project utfördes i samarbete med svenska förpackningsföretaget Tetra Pak Packaging Solutions AB. Deras huvuduppgift är att utveckla förpacknngsmaterial, processer och maskinlinjer som krävs för att producera laminatet, vilket är att flerskiktsmaterial som vanligtvis består av papper, plast och aluminium för att skapa en stark och skyddande barriär för flytande livsmedel. För att skapa laminaThis project was carried out in cooperation with Swedish packaging company Tetra Pak Packaging Solutions AB. Their main purpose is to develop the packaging material, process, and machine lines needed to produce the laminate, which is a multi-layered material typically made by combining paper, plastic, and aluminum to create a strong, protective barrier for liquid food packaging. In order to create
Problem background and research problem: Previous research has shown that demographic characteristics of corporate executives can influence financial decision-making. According to Upper Echelons Theory, factors such as gender, age and experience play a role in shaping strategic decisions. However, research on the role of CFOs remains limited, especially within capital-intensive industries like the
The rapid advancements of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in recent years have reshaped markets globally, urging companies to keep up with the development to maintain competitiveness and capture first-mover advantages. Although AI adoption is increasing across sectors, it has been found that Swedish companies lag behind other countries, such as the US and China. A key challenge identified is the lack
Positiv psykologi har breddat psykologins fokus bortom enbart symtomreduktion, men det finns begränsad kunskap om hur psykologer själva upplever att arbeta med detta i praktiken. Denna kvalitativa studie undersökte legitimerade psykologers erfarenheter av att tillämpa positiv psykologi i professionella sammanhang. Semistrukturerade intervjuer genomfördes med fyra legitimerade psykologer verksamma Positive psychology has broadened psychology’s focus beyond symptom reduction, yet little is known about how psychologists themselves experience working with it in practice. This qualitative study explored licensed psychologists’ experiences of applying positive psychology in different professional contexts. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with four licensed psychologists working in scho
This study investigates how social workers experience personal grief in relation to their professional role, and how their way of showing grief at the workplace is affected by colleagues and the organizational context. The aim is to explore how personal experiences of grief enrich the social worker’s professional role. The aim was achieved through a qualitative study, where seven semi-structured i
The academic librarian’s mission of facilitating free access to knowledge has endured even as forms of librarianship have evolved. Since the introduction of the internet and the subsequent shift from physical to digital knowledge dissemination, additional ethical and practical considerations have emerged. One such consideration is the existence of black open access and shadow libraries, born out o
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,
The type of pattern recognition methods used for controlling modern prosthetics, referred to here as single-label classification methods, restricts users to a small amount of movements. One prominent reason for this is that the accuracy of these classification methods decreases as the number of allowed movements is increased. In this work a possible solution to this problem is presented by looking
The purpose of this report is to implement and compare the two Basel III standard methods on how to calculate the capital requirement for finan- cial institutions, related to counterparty credit risk. The models being the Standardized Approach for Counterparty Credit Risk (SA-CCR) and the Internal Model Method (IMM). The SA-CCR model is a simpler and more standardized model with prescribed methods
Planning for future needs has traditionally been considered to be restricted to human cognition. Although recent studies on great ape and corvid cognition challenge this belief, the phylogenesis of human planning remains largely unknown. The complex skill for future planning has not yet been satisfactorily established in any other extant primate species than our own. In humans, planning for future
Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis are chronic inflammatory disorders of the gastrointestinal tract, and are collectively referred to as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). IBD is a major cause of lifetime morbidity, has a severe impact on quality of life of patients (equivalent to that of rheumatoid arthritis, asthma, migraine, or diabetes) and constitutes a substantial economic burden to the h
Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) generated from somatic cells of patients can be used to model different human diseases. They may also serve as sources of transplantable cells that can be used in novel cell therapies. Here, we analyzed neuronal properties of an iPSC line derived from a patient with a juvenile form of Huntington's disease (HD) carrying 72 CAG repeats (HD-iPSC). Although its i
BACKGROUND: The current trend of upgrading undervalued agricultural by-products involves the recovery of natural antioxidants. The purpose of this study was to recover phenols from fresh olive mill wastewater (OMW) with their dispersion in 85 mL ethanol per 100 mL and to investigate the effect of processing parameters on the phenol content and antioxidant capacity of the extracts. Moreover, all th
