Popular Abstract in Swedish Utgångspunkten för denna avhandling har varit att studera användningen av datorer i arbetet utifrån ett mer holistiskt perspektiv än vad som varit brukligt i tidigare traditionell hälsoforskning om datoranvändning, genom att även inkludera arbetsinnehållet som inte utförs med hjälp av datorn. Avhandlingens ansatts skiljer sig således från tidigare traditionell hälsoforsThis thesis aims at investigating computer use at work from a more holistic work content perspective by also studying non-computer work content, in contrast to the previous approach in occupational health research that focused almost solely on computer work content. It was argued here that non-computer work content has also become significant to the overall work situation for computer users. This

Popular Abstract in English Proteins are a class of biological macromolecules that perform countless fundamental and diverse functions in living organisms. Chemically speaking, they are polymers built out of monomeric units called amino acids. All biological proteins are constructed out of 20 different amino-acid types. To form protein molecules, amino acids are linked together in a linear chain lThe minimum free energy state of a protein (the native state) is encoded by its amino-acid sequence. Due to the many torsional degrees of freedom (DOF) available to a polypeptide chain, a vast number of conformations is possible. Therefore, to predict the native state of a protein directly from sequence, a computer algorithm must evaluate a large number of possible conformations using accurate sco

Popular Abstract in Swedish POPULÄRVETENSKAPLIG SAMMANFATTNING Smärtor i övre högra delen av buken och/eller gulsot är de mest vanliga symptomen relaterade till lever och gallvägssjukdomar. Den vanligaste orsaken till gallvägssjukdom är sten i gallblåsa och gallvägar som kan leda till inflammation av gallblåsa, gallvägar, lever och bukspottkörtel. Andra sjukdomar är tumörer i nämnda organ. SymptomThe diagnostic value of modern fast pulse sequences and breath-hold technique was evaluated in a prospective study of patients with suspected biliary diseases. The cost-effectiveness of MRI compared to ultrasound was calculated. Characteristics of acute cholecystitis and cholangitis were evaluated, the appearance of bile in MRCP with reference to its chemical and physical properties was studied, a

CONTEXT: The tension between service and training in pressured health care environments can have a detrimental impact on training quality and job satisfaction. Yet the management literature proposes that competing demands are inherent in organisational settings: it is not the demands as such that lead to negative outcomes but how people and organisations react to opposing tensions. We explored how

Objectives: Improved prediction modeling in osteoarthritis (OA) may encourage risk reduction through calculation of individual and population lifetime risks. There are currently no prediction models for hand OA. Thus, we aimed to 1) develop a prediction model for hand OA in men and 2) to contrast its discriminative performance to a prediction model for lung cancer and chronic obstructive pulmonary

The cysteine proteases are enzymes found in every kingdom of life. Clan CA is the largest of the cysteine protease clans, with members all displaying a Cys/His/Asn(Asp) catalytic triad responsible for hydrolysing the peptide bond within the substrate. To regulate the activity of the proteases, another group of proteins act as natural inhibitors (cysteine protease inhibitors) and bind to the protea

Abstract: The aim of this study is to critically analyse the discourse of linkworkers, a integration project in a ?multicultural? school in Malmö. In the project, four persons with different ethnic / cultural background where employed to work as a link between the school and the parents, and between the Swedish culture and the children's and the parent's ?original? culture. My material co

Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingen analyserar den schweiziske teologen Hans Küng och hans arbete med att utforma en universell moral. Enligt Küng kan världsreligionerna ligga till grund för en moral som kan sträcka sig över alla ideologiska, kulturella och religiösa gränser. Denna moral, som vilar på världsreligionerna, kan sedan ligga till grund för världspolitiken och garantera att relatioThis dissertation analyzes the work on universal morality by the Swiss theologian Hans Küng. According to Küng, a universal morality can be formed out of the world's religions that can reconcile ideological, cultural and religious differences. This morality can then form the basis for international policy and politics and guarantee that relations among states are peaceful. Küng's project focuses

Popular Abstract in Swedish Den kanske viktigaste anledningen till att söka en grundläggande förståelse av ekonomiskt beteende är att erhålla ett underlag för utformningen och genomförandet av ekonomisk politik. Utan en sådan förståelse minskas möjligheterna att uppnå målen för den ekonomiska politiken. Detta gäller i synnerhet den ekonomiska politik som bedrivs genom finanspolitik. En av finanspIn the first essay of this thesis, we examine whether the effects of fiscal expansions and contractions exert a symmetric influence on the relationship between fiscal policy and private consumption. Our results indicate a considerable asymmetry across fiscal expansions and contractions. More specifically, during fiscal contractions, transfers seem to influence private consumption in a neoclassical

The main aim of the study is to explain how pupils´ consciousness of history in comprehensive school is formed and created by teaching. A second aim is to emphasize and to problematise the prerequisites for developing the consciousness of history through teaching. The empirical data consists of three parts: 1. Pupil's associations to the concepts of "time", "past" and "future". 2. Essays (national

The purpose of this thesis is to examine the changes that the Circusfactions underwent in the fifth and sixth centuries A.D and what underlying factors contributed to it. Basically, the intention with this thesis is to investigate how the circusfactions come to advance from mere cheering-associations, with a single interest, horseracing and the games, to a state employed claque with crucial civic

In Sierra Leone, civil war has affected the civilian population and the development of the country for long periods of time. In order to end the violence a number of military operations were conducted. This essay, dealing with internal and external regulatory instruments is used to put a case study of two operations in a larger context. By developing efficient parameters and applying these to the

Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a major risk factor for atherothrombotic complications but is often asymptomatic and undiagnosed. This study aimed to develop a machine learning model to distinguish between individuals with low and high risk of AF, using routinely collected diagnostic data from Swedish primary health care. Methods: Cases (n = 42,607, aged ≥ 45 years) with diagnosed new onse

During the localization process in wireless networks, risks such as Sybil attacks and nodes’ location privacy leakage can exist due to the open and shared nature of wireless networks. However, it is challenging to obtain accurate location for sensor nodes while preserving the privacy of observer nodes who assist in sensor node localization while in the presence of Sybil attacks. Therefore, in this

BACKGROUND: The rates of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) graft failure or contralateral ACL rupture range from 17% to 30% in pediatric patients after ACL reconstruction (ACLR). A contributing factor to the high reinjury rate in this population may be the limited evidence regarding appropriate criteria for allowing unrestricted return to activity (RTA) postoperatively.PURPOSE: To review the litera

En av de vanligaste frågorna som brukar ställas till astronomer är om det finns liv någon annanstans i universum. Vi har ännu inget enkelt svar. Framsteg mot ett svar på denna fråga görs lite i taget. Den här avhandlingen är ett av dessa steg.Min forskning är inriktad på atmosfärerna hos så kallade "ultra-hot Jupiters": planeter i Jupiters storlek som kretsar så nära sina stjärnor att de hettas upOne of the biggest questions people ask astronomers is whether life exists elsewhere in the universe. Unfortunately, we don’t yet have an answer. Instead, progress towards an answer comes in small, careful steps. This thesis is one of those steps.My research has focused on the atmospheres of "ultra-hot Jupiters": planets the size of Jupiter that orbit so close to their stars they are heated to tho
