Popular Abstract in Swedish I avhandlingen beskrivs och analyseras den svenska dagspressens hantering av doping och dopingöverträdelser inom internationell elitidrott. Artiklarna studeras med hjälp av följande tre frågeställningar: (1) Vad utmärker medieinnehållet om sport och doping? (2) Vilken bild av den sociala ordningen skymtar fram i detta mediematerial? (3) Vad berättar medieskandaler kringThe study analyses how the Swedish press dealt with doping and transgressions of the doping rules within international professional sports between 1996 and 2004. Three main research questions have been used in the research process: (1) What characterizes these media texts about sports and doping? (2) How is the social order pictured in the media texts? (3) What do media scandals about sport stars

Wohlers Associates, Inc., recognized widely as the leading consulting firm and preeminent authority on additive manufacturing and 3D printing worldwide—terms that are used interchangeably—today announced the publication of the Wohlers Report 2016. The 2016 edition marks the 21st consecutive year of its availability. According to Wohlers Report 2016, the additive manufacturing (AM) industry, consis

Popular Abstract in Swedish Sociala rättigheter och socialt medborgarskap är begrepp som ofta används för att beskriva den svenska välfärdsstaten. I ett internationellt perspektiv utpekas den svenska välfärdspolitiken som generell, generös och nästintill universell. Men i början av 1990-talet genomgick den svenska välfärdsstaten en djup kris. Arbetslösheten steg snabbt och sysselsättningen sjönk. Universalism, social rights and social citizenship are often considered as key concepts to describe the Swedish welfare state. However, in the beginning of the 1990s, the Swedish welfare state experienced a severe economic recession. In only a couple of years, the unemployment rate increased sharply as well as the number of social assistance recipients. These changes constitute the background for

Nordost om Bushveldkomplexen i Kaapvaal kratonen finns en mäktig gångsvärm av nordost-orienterade diabasgångar tillhörande ”the Black Hills dyke swarm”. Med hjälp av U- Pb metoden av mineral baddeleyit daterades fem gångar inom ålderspannet 1.87 - 1.85 Ga, där två av dem ger exakta åldrar på 1852 ± 5 Ma och 1863 ± 7 Ma. Denna gångsvärm är alltså lika gammal som lagergångar tillhörande ”post- WaterThe NE-trending Black Hills dolerite dykes make up a prominent swarm northeast of the Bushveld Igneous Complex in the Kaapvaal craton. Baddeleyite U-Pb dates of five dykes suggest emplacement ages between ca. 1.87 Ga and 1.85 Ga, with two samples yielding robust ages of 1852 ± 5 Ma and 1863 ± 7 Ma. The Black Hills swarm is thus largely coeval with the post-Waterberg dolerite sills (1.88-1.87 Ga) a

Groin pain is common in soccer players. Comparison of results from different studies, especially between genders, is difficult as studies use different definitions and data collection procedures. Therefore we conducted a study of both male and female soccer players enabling direct gender comparison.

The galectins are known to be able to recognize and cross-link beta-D-galactopyranoside-containing glycoconjugates as a result of presenting multiple binding sites. This review summarizes efforts in our group for the last ten years towards low-molecular weight chemically modified carbohydrate derivatives. In addition to providing an avenue for improved affinity and galectin-selectivity, we have fo

Bakgrund Framväxten av hälsoapplikationer som gör det möjligt för patienter att kontakta och kommunicera med vårdpersonal digitalt kan förändra hur patienter ser på sin vård och hur de kontaktar vårdpersonalen (WHO, 2011). Digitala system kan också, utifrån sin design, ge förutsättningar för relationscentrerad vård genom att patienterna ges möjlighet att, i samverkan med vårdpersonalen, vara aktiv

Around 20% of all people worldwide (1.5 billion) do not have an official and legally recognized document as proof of their identity. This affect, for example, their right to vote, to open a bank account, obtain formal employment or seek legal compensation. In other words, their lack of proof for their legal existence excludes them from participating in society on all various levels. This was ackno

Objective: The aim was to compare rapid antigen detection test (RADT) and throat culture for group A streptococci (GAS) among patients recently treated with penicillin V for GAS pharyngotonsillitis. Design and setting: The study was a secondary analysis within a randomized controlled trial comparing 5 versus 10 days of penicillin V for GAS pharyngotonsillitis. Patients were recruited at 17 primary

This study explored all-cause mortality of bacteremia diagnosed during a 60-day non-physician healthcare worker strike in 2008. A significant change, with 5.0% (95% confidence interval [CI] 1.2-8.7%, P < .01) absolute risk increase, was seen in 90-day mortality during the strike (n = 598) compared with the rest of the study period 2000-2015 (n = 75 647).

Purpose Radiotherapy reduces the absolute risk of breast cancer mortality by a few percentage points in suitable women but can cause a second cancer or heart disease decades later. We estimated the absolute long-term risks of modern breast cancer radiotherapy. Methods First, a systematic literature review was performed of lung and heart doses in breast cancer regimens published during 2010 to 2015

We outline a framework to study the use of mathematics in physics classrooms. The framework focuses on the relations made between Reality, Theoretical models and Mathematics. In this paper the analyses of one teacher and her 3rd year classes at secondary school are presented. The results show that phenomena in reality are often used as a short prelude to put focus on the relationship theoretical m

Vacuum diffusion-bonded printed circuit heat exchangers are an attractive choice for the high-temperature, high-pressure demands of next-generation energy applications. However, early reports show that the high-temperature materials desired for these applications suffer from poor bond strengths due to precipitation at the bond line, preventing grain boundary migration. In this study, a diffusion b

This essay studies the effect that proficiency of an official language has on political participation. It is a quantitative study focusing on 36 African countries. Our theory stipulates that a lack of proficiency acts as a cost in a rational choice-model of political participation. The hypothesis is that the quota of official language-speakers in a country positively affects the country's leve

This thesis process started with us wondering what happens with employee engagement in an organisation where the employees have been forced to conduct their work from home. We were also interested in the view of subordinates as well as HR-managers, their experiences and perceptions of employee engagement and how this was managed while working from home. This is what we have investigated in a finan

Organ segmentation on magnetic resonance (MR) images for dose planning on cancer patients is a time consuming process that can be automatized by using convolutional neural networks (CNNs). MR images vary greatly in characteristics across acquisition sites, which affects CNN segmentation performance. In this master thesis, augmentation methods were tested and implemented to increase the robustness
