The aim of this study was to explore older patients' experiences of participation in the prescription process of mobility devices. The study was conducted in two Swedish municipalities and was a qualitative study, based on the focus group interview methodology of Merton et al (1990). In order to recruit a sample fulfilling both homogeneity and heterogeneity criteria, occupational therapists and p

I lite drygt ett århundrade gestaltade den svenska värnplikten värderingar som jämlikhet, solidaritet och idén om att man skulle ”göra sin plikt och kräva sin rätt”. Värnplikten började som en rekryteringsmodell 1901, men förvandlades under 1900-talet till en institution i sin egen rätt: uppskattad av pliktskyldiga, Försvarsmakten, samhället, Högern och Vänstern. När det kalla kriget tog slut påböFor little more than a century military service enacted Swedish values of equality, solidarity and doing one's part for the public good. What started out at as mere military recruitment policy in 1901 developed into an institutional feature of Swedish society: appreciated by society, the conscripts, the Armed Forces and by political parties to the left and the right. In a pursuit to preserve milit

Background: The Individual Enabling and Support (IES) model is an adapted, supported employment program developed to meet motivational, cognitive and time-use needs of people with affective disorders. Vocational programs for this target group have been developed but more knowledge is needed about the important characteristics and perceived usefulness of the programs. The aim of this study was to i

A ruptured arterial aneurysm, especially in the aorta, represents one of the most acute and mortal conditions encountered in clinical medicine. Population-based screening in elderly men, treatment of risk factors, such as hypertension, and endovascular or open repair of rupture-prone lesions, represent cornerstones in management. Surgical repair has a sizeable effect on life-expectancy, but medica

Rare earth elements are strategic commodities in many countries, and an important resource for the growing modern technology industry. As such, there is an increasing interest for development of rare earth element processing, and this work is a part of further development of chromatography as a rare earth element separation process method. Process optimization is pivotal for process development, a

Despite the widely recognized potential of product-as-a-service (PaaS) business models to contribute to the circular economy, many industrial case studies have reported that several systemic factors tend to hinder product manufacturers from effectively designing such solutions. More specifically, factors such as linear value chains, organizational structures, and market and financial conditions te

Forskningsservice ger hjälp och stöd åt forskare, forskargrupper, administratörer och universitets- och områdesledningar i frågor om extern forskningsfinansiering, universitetsövergripande forskningskommunikation samt utbildning på forskarnivå. Vi har särskilt ansvar för EU:s ramprogram för forskning, amerikanska statliga finansiärer samt vissa svenska finansiärer. Mer information finns på medaResearch Services provides specialist support in research funding and career advice for researchers. We work with researchers, administrators as well as management of all levels within the department’s various areas of operation. Based on the University´s priorities, we offer tailored support to researchers in their work on research applications. We also work with quality assurance, external monit

Värmeöverföring är ett grundläggande ämne baserat på fysik och matematik samt ett tillämpat ingenjörsämne vilande på empiriska samband. Ämnet Värmeöverföring är centralt inom energitekniken men har även stor betydelse inom andra teknikgrenar. Forskningen inriktas mot kopplad värmeledning, konvektion och termisk strålning, effektivisering av konvektiv värmeöverföring genom ytmodifierande metodiker,

Forskningspolitik är en del av det bredare fältet ”forskning om forskning” (Science and Technology Studies) och policystudier. Det är ett tvärvetenskapligt område som studerar styrning och ledning av privat och offentlig forskning samt innovation. Detta kan inbegripa anslagspolitik, ledning och organisering av forsknings- och innovationsmiljöer, utvärdering av forskning, vetenskapliga prioriteringResearch policy is an interdisciplinary field dedicated to the study of the management and governance of research and innovation. Research policy is located at the intersection between Science and Technology Studies (STS) and policy studies. Research in research policy focuses on, among other issues: analysis of funding instruments and their impacts on knowledge production; prioritization and eval

Gel formation by surfactant molecules is generally controlled by thermodynamics rather than kinetics. Mixtures of long-chain alcohols and surfactants are widely used in various cosmetic and pharmaceutical products. The cooling rate used to produce the products is known to be a key parameter to control the rheological properties and the final texture. However, the physical-chemistry links between t
