This study was directed towards personality-related, value system and sociodemographic variables of nursing students in a situation of change, using a longitudinal perspective to measure their improvement in principle-based moral judgement (Kohlberg; Rest) as possible predictors of stress. Three subgroups of students were included from the commencement of the first three-year academic nursing prog
This paper describes the development of a novel modelling tool for evaluation of solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) performance. An artificial neural network (ANN) is trained with a reduced amount of data generated by a validated cell model, and it is then capable of learning the generic functional relationship between inputs and outputs of the system. Once the network is trained, the ANN-driven simulat
Bayesian decision theory can be used to model animal behaviour. In this paper we give an overview of the theoretical concepts in such models. We also review the biological contexts in which Bayesian models have been applied, and outline some directions where future studies would be useful. Bayesian decision theory, when applied to animal behaviour, is based on the assumption that the individual ha
In this work, we reconstructed in vitro the behavior of two motor proteins-myosin and actin-responsible for the mechanical action of muscle cells. By transferring this in vivo system to an artificial environment, we were able to study the interaction between the proteins in more detail, as well as investigating the central mechanism of force production.

Purpose – This paper seeks to investigate the role of leadership styles in the implementation of evidence-based treatment methods (EBP) for drug abuse and criminal behaviour. Design/methodology/approach – The paper employs a triangulation approach through mail questionnaires to 112 treatment personnel (49 per cent response rate), interviews with 65 employees and managers, observations and feedbac
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Radiotherapy treatment planning algorithms continue to develop and current planning systems typically offer simpler, but faster, algorithms, which may be 2, 2.5 or 3D in modelling scatter, but which do not model electron transport (type a) and more accurate algorithms which aim to be fully 3D, i.e. which model 3D scatter and also model electron transport (type b). A range o
A sensitive method for the detection of staphylococcal enterotoxin B (SEB) using a flow-injection capacitive biosensor is presented. SEB was purified from a crude culture filtrate of Staphylococcus aureus through three chromatographic steps. The first two steps were based on ion-exchange chromatography, and the last step was carried out on a gel filtration column. The SEB recovery values after the
A new mu-oxo diiron(III) complex of the lithium salt of the pyridine-based unsymmetrical ligand 3-[(3-{[bis(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)amino]methyl}-2-hydroxy-5-methylbenzyl)(pyridin2-ylmethyl)amino] propanoate (LiDPCPMPP), [Fe-2(mu-O)(LiDPCPMPP)(2)](ClO4)(2), has been synthesized and characterized. The ability of the complex to catalyze oxidation of several alkanes and alkenes has been investigated by us
This thesis is a qualitative case study of discrimination based on stigmatization towards transgender individuals in Brazil. The current President, Jair Bolsonaro has made some extreme statements about the LGBTQ+ community throughout his career in politics, starting when he was a congressman in Rio de Janeiro and keeps doing so today, normalizing stigma and discrimination towards the LGBTQ+ commun
The aim of this study is to examine the experiences and views of the library staff at a Swedish academic library on the concept of library anxiety – a feeling of discomfort on a physiological and behavioral level that appears in a library context. Nine of the library staff members at the University Library were interviewed through focus groups about their experiences with, and opinions on, the use
Syfte: Studien undersöker om det på ett reliabelt sätt går att använda en modifierad version av Pati-ent Attachment to Therapist Rating Scale (PAT-RS) för att skatta anknytningsmönster från patient till terapeut utifrån inspelade psykoterapisessioner från fjärde sessionen under en korttidsterapi. Metod: Två oberoende observatörer har skattat anknytningsmönster från patient till terapeut utifrån 30Objective: This thesis investigates if it is possible to use a modified version of Patient Attachment to Therapist Rating Scale (PAT-RS) estimating attachment style between patient and therapist dur- ing an early stage of short term psychotherapy in a reliable way using recorded psychotherapy ses- sions. Method: Recorded material from 30 psychotherapy sessions have been separately estimated by two
As our lives ever increasingly move online, the influence of social media is constantly growing. It has however proven difficult for legislators to keep up with rapid development of online spaces. Therefore, legislative control has largely been left to the social media platforms. To see if this is a good solution, this paper aims to analyze Twitters terms of use, rules, guidelines, and policies, i
The case company under study has conducted a continuous process of business model innovation for sustainability since 2007, but is suffering from barriers present in the process. The limited amount of literature on business model innovation for sustainability provides little guidance on barriers. Therefore, this research aims to contribute to the literature by identifying what barriers are present
The aim of this study was to examine the experiences of social workers working with unaccompanied refugee minors during the autumn of 2015, commonly referred to as the “refugee crisis”. During this period, Sweden received approximately 156 400 refugees, putting Sweden’s social infrastructure under enormous pressure. As a result of the stressful working conditions, a large amount of social workers
The intention of this study was to investigate how individuals who arrived to Sweden as unaccompanied children perceived their possibilities of using their strengths to achieve participation and autonomy. The questions posed in the essay aimed to capture the indivi-duals’ experiences of how their participation and autonomy were affected by their abilities, needs and preconditions. The results of t

In Sweden, it is reported that a lot of Social Services are having difficulties recruiting staff, especially experienced staff. With a high turnover rate and a great need for social workers in these areas of work, this study aimed to investigate social work students’ attitudes towards work with the exercise of public authority and try to detect which factors could be affecting these attitudes. The
Sand and dust storms (SDS) represent a significant and widespread obstacle to sustainable development, affecting its economic, social, and environmental dimensions. SDS pose severe challenges to achieving several Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), including the eradication of poverty, the achievement of zero hunger, the improvement of health and well-being, the provision of clean water and sani
Det snabba skiftet inom bilindustrin mot elektiska fordon sätter stor press på inte bara biltillverkare, utan på hela försörjningskedjan för elbilar. Detta innefattar litiumjonbattericeller som är det mest moderna sättet att lagra energi i elbilar. Den tekniska utvecklingen av litiumjonceller drivs i stor utsträckning av behoven från biltillverkare. Under det senaste årtiondet har det inneburit atThe rapid transformation of the automotive industry to electric vehicles is putting immense pressure on not just vehicle manufacturers (OEMs), but the entire battery electric vehicle (BEV) supply chain. This includes lithium-ion battery cells, the current state-of-the-art technology for energy storage in BEVs. The technological development within lithium-ion battery cells, which is greatly driven
