Internet Metaphors and Norms. To what extent is digital “openness” also creating a modern “Panopticon”? I.e. to what extent is the conceptual imaginary of relevance for the legitimacy of modern data practices in terms of privacy? This paper argues that conceptual battles around what the Internet is and the digital development means are significant battles. The metaphorical descriptions of the inte
Organic semiconducting polymers exhibited promising photocatalytic behavior for hydrogen (H2) evolution, especially when prepared in the form of polymer dots (Pdots). However, the Pdot structures were formed using common nonconjugated amphiphilic polymers, which have a negative effect on charge transfer between photocatalysts and reactants and are unable to participate in the photocatalytic reacti
Introduction The aim was to follow-up children, of parents with alcohol problems, who joined a group support programme in Malmö, Sweden from 1993–2000. Our intension was to investigate mental health and social well-being in these children over a long period of time.Method Two follow-ups were conducted, in 2003 and in 2018. In 2003 the follow-up, included a semi-structured interview and six self-
Chronic airway diseases such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), together with their comorbidities, bear a significant burden on public health. Increased appreciation of molecular networks underlying inflammatory airway disease needs to be translated into new therapies for distinct phenotypes not controlled by current treatment regimens. On the other hand, development of ne
The challenges of sustainable development require whole supply chains and networks to drive change and innovation. However, most existing research on sustainable innovations is on a company level and the dominating company focus in practice drives “silo” approaches, short-term thinking, and profit maximization. Consequently, there is a need for research and new models that facilitate sustainable s
Catalytic conversion of CO2 to CO using reverse water gas shift (RWGS) reaction is a key intermediate step for many CO2 utilization processes. RWGS followed by well-known synthesis gas conversion may emerge as a potential approach to convert CO2 to valuable chemicals and fuels. Nickel (Ni) based catalysts with ceria-zirconia (Ce-Zr) support can be used to tune the metal-support interactions, resul
Objective: The authors sought to clarify the role of rearing environment in the etiology of major depression. Methods: Defining high risk as having at least one biological parent with major depression, the authors identified a Swedish National Sample of 666 high-risk full sibships and 2,596 high-risk half sibships containing at least one homereared and one adopted-away sibling. Major depression wa
Background and purpose — Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) has increased substantially in Sweden. We quantified the relative risk for TKA in the Swedish population for different BMI categories and age groups to investigate whether the continued increase in TKA is attributable to increased prevalence of obesity and elderly people in the population, and to put forward model predictions for coming needs
Summary: Romosozumab is a novel bone-building drug that reduces fracture risk. This health economic analysis indicates that sequential romosozumab-to-alendronate can be a cost-effective treatment option for postmenopausal women with severe osteoporosis at high risk of fracture. Purpose: To estimate the cost-effectiveness of sequential treatment with romosozumab followed by alendronate (“romosozuma
This bachelor thesis’ ambition is to unravel the rights discourse in the first female emancipatory journal in Sweden during the journal’s first decade 1859-1869. The Swe-dish female rights movement is during this time period unorganized and hence Tidskrift för hemmet became the first forum where a female emancipatory debate took place. By using a conceptual history analysis with philological eleme
In the light of (super) wicked problems, as climate change is, a deep transformation of energy and transport systems is needed. Among other technological innovations, liquid biofuels were adopted also in Romania as an innovation that could contribute to the transition towards a more sustainable transport. However, the biofuels sector is not well-developed in Romania, in spite of considerable poten
Today, the majority of employees in the tourism industry work under contingent and fairly insecure working conditions, among them seasonal employees. In this industry, the business of amusement parks and resort hotels is one with a high quota of seasonally hired front-line employees. Research from Human Resource Manage¬ment pinpoints the underlying risks of low commitment among employees in an ind
Arbete kan vara en stor del av en individs liv och värderas ofta högt av samhället. Personer med psykisk ohälsa är en grupp som riskerar att hamna utanför arbetsmarknaden. Arbetsrehabilitering är ett sätt att minska utanförskap för denna grupp. Många som arbetar med arbetsrehabilitering för personer med psykisk ohälsa är arbetsterapeuter. Meningsfulla aktiviteter är ett koncept som genomsyrar all
Denna kvalitativa studies syfte var att undersöka och dokumentera sångutveckling för kyrkomusiker. Den genomfördes som aktionsforskning inom ramen för projektet ”Vem äger lärandet”. Studien, som följer två kyrkomusiker under fyra terminer, synliggör och problematiserar sångutbildning för den som har en stark identitet som instrumentalist. Resultatet visar på positiva aspekter av reflektion och obsEnglish title: The singer’s image. An action research study of one-to-one vocal tuition. The aim of this qualitative study was to explore and document church musicians’ vocal development. The study formed part of the larger project ”Students’ ownership of learning” and was carried out as an action research project where two church musicstudents in higher music education were followed during two ac
Background: Intra- and interfractional variations in anatomy can cause unplanned substantial alterations of the dose distribution of the target in proton therapy. Motion management methods might be used in order to minimize anatomical variations. In the proton therapy of lung cancer, a potential motion management technique is the use of the voluntary breath-hold approach. The aim of this study was
In this thesis the inoperability I/O model has been used in a case study to evaluate if it is applicable to Swedish conditions and if it is a suitable approach of describing interdependencies. The inoperability I/O model can, given a perturbation from one or more sectors, estimate the ripple effects measured in terms of industry inoperability and economic losses. The model approximates physical in
The objective was to investigate the validity and reliability of a new instrument assessing sexual harassment at a public university in Sweden. In-depth interviews and focus group discussions resulted in a 10-item instrument, the ‘Lund University Sexual Harassment Inventory’ (LUSHI). A survey was sent to all staff, including PhD students, and students, with a response rate of 33% (n = 2736) and 32
