Background: Learning is a lifelong process and the workplace is an essential arena for professional learning. Workplace learning is particularly relevant for midwives as essential knowledge and skills are gained through clinical work. A clinical practice known as ‘Collegial Midwifery Assistance’ (CMA), which involves two midwives being present during the active second stage of labour, was found to

The focus of this work is detecting pedestrians, captured in a surveillance setting, and locating them in world coordinates. Commonly adopted search strategies operate in the image plane to address the object detection problem with machine learning, for example using scale-space pyramid with the sliding windows methodology or object proposals. In contrast, here a new search space is presented, whi

A measurement of the Standard Model Higgs boson produced in association with a W or Z boson and decaying into a pair of τ-leptons is presented. This search is based on proton-proton collision data collected at s=13 TeV by the ATLAS experiment at the LHC corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 140 fb−1. For the Higgs boson candidate, only final states with at least one τ-lepton decaying hadron

Lantbruket rankas konsekvent som en av de mest riskfyllda sektorerna i Sverige såväl som i många andra delar av världen. Förutom lidande för den enskilde beräknas dödliga och icke dödliga skador i svenskt lantbruk kosta samhället 2 – 3 miljarder kr per år. I Sverige inträffade det cirka 5 000 olyckor på jordbruksföretag 2004. Detta innebar att minst en olycka inträffade på 8% av svenska gårdar som

Background: Palliative care focuses on identifying, from a holistic perspective, the needs of those experiencing problems associated with life-threatening illnesses. As older people approach the end of their lives, they can experience a complex series of problems that health-care professionals must identify and document in their patients’ records. Documentation is thus important for ensuring high-

This study was undertaken to evaluate the role of internalization in the action of the peptide autacoid bradykinin (BK). At 4°C [3H]BK binds to an apparently single class of B2 kinin receptors on DDT1 MF-2 smooth muscle cells (C. M. Munoz, S. Cotecchia, and L. M. F. Leeb-Lundberg, manuscript submitted). At this temperature the [3H]BK binding was confined exclusively to the cell surface. On the oth

The Arctic is warming at twice the global average speed, and the warming-induced increases in biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs) emissions from Arctic plants are expected to be drastic. The current global models' estimations of minimal BVOC emissions from the Arctic are based on very few observations and have been challenged increasingly by field data. This study applied a dynamic ecosyst

All languages borrow words from other languages. Some languages are more prone to borrowing, while others borrow less, and different domains of the vocabulary are unequally susceptible to borrowing. Languages typically borrow words when a new concept is introduced, but languages may also borrow a new word for an already existing concept. Linguists describe two causalities for borrowing: need, i.e.

Three interlaboratory tests conducted by European laboratories were studied, in which 37 laboratories participated in 2018, rising to 46 in 2019 and 2020. A RTFO-aged neat bitumen 20/30 and PMB 45/80-55 in RTFO-aged and unaged conditions were tested using a DSR at frequency of 1.59 Hz with PP08 and PP25 geometries at temperatures ranging from 10°C to 65°C. To assess variation in numerous areas of

The industrial sector in Sweden accounted for 38 percent of the country’s total energy consumption in 2019. As the world’s focus has shifted drastically on energy consumption, the industry sector’s has as well due to energy initiatives and government-driven regulations. The energy issue is currently of great relevance for energy-intensive industries where enormous potential remains due to factors

Svenska hedgefonder har på senare tid kommit att bli ett allt vanligare placeringsinstrument för svenska småsparare. Därför är det viktigt att utvärdera hur bra dessa fonder faktiskt presterar. Tidigare studier har visat att traditionella fonders avkastning kan beskrivas väl med ett fåtal tillgångsindex som förklaringsvariabler. En sådan modell har dock visat sig ha en låg förklaringsgrad för hedg

The aim of this study was to achieve an understanding of how public media pictures mental illness with help from a stigma perspective. Throughout the investigation the Stigma Process by Link and Phelan (2001) has been used to understand and interpret the material acquired. In this study 36 articles from the largest Swedish evening papers have been analyzed and the articles have been taken within a

När någon går bort försvinner inte det den avlidne efterlämnar sig automatiskt. Ett dödsbo bildas som omfattar den avlidnes tillgångar och skulder. Normalt sett kommer dödsboet att förvaltas av dödsbodelägarna, det vill säga de som på något sätt kommer ha del av det som ingår i dödsboet genom arv eller genom testamente. Det ska eventuellt göras en bodelning mellan efterlevande make och dödsboet. DWhen a person passes away, an estate takes form which includes all the deceased’s assets and liabilities. Normally the estate is being taken care of by the parties to the estate. The parties to the estate is everyone who has a rightful claim on the estate, either by heritage according to Swedish law or according to a will from the deceased. Sometimes a division of the joint property between the sp

Thesis Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to explore the effect of informal communication strategies on brand trust from a consumer perspective.

Methodology: This inductive study applied a qualitative research strategy to obtain an in-depth understanding of consumers’ feeling of brand trust on soci

Som en följd av Covid-19 har flexibilitet ökat på arbetsmarknaden samtidigt som unga vuxna inom kort utgör den huvudsakliga arbetskraften. Målsättningen var därför att förstå hur unga vuxna upplever flexibilitet inom organisationer. Den här studien hade som syfte att undersöka hur organisationsbeskrivningar i arbetsannonser upplevs och bedöms av unga vuxna, i åldern 20 till 30 år, med fokus på fleAs a result of Covid-19, flexibility has increased in the labor market while young adults will soon constitute the main workforce. The aim was therefore to understand how young adults perceive flexibility within organizations. The aim of this study is to investigate how organizational descriptions in job advertisements are perceived and assessed by young adults, aged 20 to 30 with a focus on flexi

Denna studie undersöker och besvarar huruvida det är mer värt ur ett ekonomiskt perspektiv att renovera ett 50-talshus i originalskick än att bygga ett nytt hus när samma krav på inomhusmiljö ställs. Kraven ställs främst på luftkvalitén, men gäller även värmedistribution och levnadssätt. För att få en generell bild och ett resultat som kan användas i övergripande sammanhang har två alternativa utfThis study examines and answers whether it is more profitable from a financial point of view to renovate a 1950s house in its original condition than to build a new house when the same requirements are made regarding the indoor environment. The demands are primarily set on the air quality, but they also apply to heat distribution and lifestyle/usage. In order to get the big picture and a result wh

This work applied Bayesian Optimization (BO) for the task of calibrating methane-related parameters in the Lund-Potsdam-Jena General Ecosystem Simulator (LPJ-GUESS v4.1). A Gaussian Process (GP) was used as the surrogate model within the BO framework. Additionally, other enhancements we applied to the BO framework such as the use of complexity-penalizing priors for GP hyperparameters and numerical

This paper explores how to implement high-contrast modes in modern game engines to enhance accessibility for low-vision players. Through shaderbased rendering modifications and post-processing techniques, a customizable accessibility mode was developed to improve object recognition and visual clarity without sacrificing game aesthetics. Conducted in collaboration with IO Interactive, a web-based u

Möjligheterna för att kränka och förtala andra har ökat väsentligt i och med internets utveckling under 2000-talet. Idag kan ett uttalande eller en integritetskränkande bild spridas över hela världen på bara några sekunder och möjligheterna att ”ta bort” sådana uttalanden har därigenom förändrats. Denna uppsats syfte är att granska det svenska straffrättsliga skyddet mot näthat och undersöka omThe evolvement of the communications technology during the 21st century has created novel ways in which people can harm others. Today a statement or an intimate visual recording can be spread globally in just a few seconds and the possibility to remove such information has thus changed. The objective of this paper is to review the Swedish criminal protection against cyber harassment and exami
