OBJECTIVE: To elucidate parent´s experience of having had a baby with colic four years previously and of how the colic and care influenced the family in a long-term perspective. METHODOLOGY AND PARTICIPANTS: A qualitative inductive follow-up study with 13 individual and one focus group interview including four parents. Altogether ten mothers and seven fathers representing 12 families, who had been
Sydvästra Grönlands arkeiska berggrund (North Atlantic Craton, NAC) intruderades av ett stort antal mafiska intrusioner och diabasgångar under arkeikum och proterozoikum, vars åldrar är dåligt kända. Detta arbete omfattar dateringar av fem intrusioner med U-Pb metoden av mineralen zirkon och baddeleyit från tre olika generationer av mafiska bergarter. En mafisk-ultramafisk lagrad intrusion i FiskeThe Archaean bedrock of southern Greenland (the North Atlantic Craton) is host to a large number of mafic intrusions and dyke swarms. This study present a robust U-Pb zircon age of 2990.1 ± 13 Ma for a mafic-ultramafic layered intrusion in the Fiskefjord region and four baddeleyite U-Pb ages of doleritic dykes that range between c. 2500 and c. 2050-2030 Ma. The dyke located SE of Ameralik Fjord is
This is a study of Spanish immigration policies, the changes they have gone through over the past years, and more importantly, why. Three theoretical approaches are central to this thesis, namely: economic calculations, to do the right thing, and politics of insecurity. Through these approaches, different events and considerations that affect policy-shaping are highlighted and analysed. This
When China opened it borders in 1979, the country suffered from a severe brain drain as its most talented students left the country to take advantage of educational opportunities abroad. However these emigrant engineers, known locally as "sea turtles" or Chinese returnees, have become a valuable asset for Zhongguancun Science Park. The authorities for the high-tech park are now adopting
Human-induced climate change continues to have a disproportionate negative impact on people and the planet. The human dimension must be included to make a change to reduce the environmental challenges we are facing. As mobile digital technologies have developed, the use of gamification has emerged as a way to promote pro-environmental behavior. As the field is relatively new, the research on the t
Mental health issues are a serious matter with great consequences on livelihoods. Iraqi Kurdistan is situated in one of the most unstable regions and experienced an influx of IDPs over time who are in need of mental health support. However, mental health support is shaped and understood differently according to the culture. The purpose of this research is therefore to investigate the consequences
In this report, methods for risk and vulnerability analysis of technological infrastructure and transport are examined. Fault Tree Analysis, Event Tree Analysis, and QRA can, along with Anticipatory Failure Determination, Hierarchical Holographic Modelling, and System Action Management, be used as methods for risk and vulnerability analysis of technical infrastructure. For risk and vulnerability a
Under senare år har förändringar i det jordmagnetiska fältet föreslagits som en möjlig drivkraft för klimatförändringar. Det finns dock inget enkelt samband mellan dessa två faktorer. Ett samband mellan förändringar i det jordmagnetiska fältet och klimatet är fortfarande omdebatterat. För att testa hypotesen om ett samband mellan tidigare förändringar i det jordmagnetiska fältet och klimatet behövIt is commonly believed that long-term (10 to 1000 kyr) and short-term (10 to 1000 years) climatic changes on Earth can be interpreted by periodic variations in Earth’s orbit around the Sun and variations in solar irradiance, respectively. In recent years, geomagnetic field changes have been suggested as a potential driver of climate change. However, a link between these two factors is not straigh
Konsumtion av rättigheter är en mycket viktig princip för den fria rörligheten för varor och även för en fungerande marknadsekonomi. Konsumtion innebär att immateriella rättigheter i ett fysiskt exemplar konsumeras vid en överlåtelse av äganderätten till exemplaret som innehåller eller bär på rättigheten. I många jurisdiktioner är principens olika rekvisit ännu inte klarlagda. Amerikanska Federal Exhaustion of rights is of critical importance for the free transfer of goods and as such, the functioning of any market economy. Exhaustion of rights is the consumption of rights in intellectual property subject matter as a consequence of the legitimate transfer of title in the tangible article that incorporates or bears the intellectual property in question. The principles of the exhaustion doct
Titel: Keeping up with narcissism: en studie om narcissism i ”Keeping up with the Kardashians” Författare: Linnett Andersen MKVA22:4: Medie- och kommunikationsvetenskap vid institutionen för kommunikation och medier, Lunds Universitet Enligt Twenge & Campbell (2009) är media och kändisar ”superspreaders” av narcissism genom bland annat reality-tv, och i en studie utförd av Young & Pins
This paper investigates the dynamic evolution of the conditional correlation between the stock markets of China, Japan and South Korea by using the DCC-MGARCH model and investigates the key determinants of regional stock market integration by using a linear equation framework. The sample period is from January 1995 until December 2012. We first derive the dynamic conditional correlation between th
This thesis examines the relationship between workplace autonomy and environmental performance. The relationship is measured through Scope 1 CO2 equivalent (CO2e) emissions and through a quantitative study. Previous research found that autonomy is not a widely researched field for environmental performance purposes. A major psychological theory about autonomy is the self-determination theory, whic
Trenden med virtuellt arbete och arbete hemifrån har snabbt accelererats av Covid-19-pandemin. De huvudsakliga frågorna för denna studie var huruvida de fem stora personlighetsfaktorerna kunde förutsäga individens upplevda nivåer av arbetsengagemang och balans i arbetslivet kring deras hemarbete, i nuläget och under perioden av det senaste året. Detta gjordes genom ett online-frågeformulär med skaThe trend of virtual work and work from home have been rapidly accelerated by the Covid-19 pandemic. The main questions for this study were whether the five major personality factors could predict the individual's perceived levels of work engagement and work life balance during work from home, at present and over time. The relationships were tested using scales for big five personality traits,
Increasing climate change is causing a rise in natural disasters. One of the most common natural disasters in Sweden is flooding. Vulnerability is increasing due to urbanization and the removal of green spaces in Swedish cities. In the acute phase of a flooding, the municipal Fire and Rescue Services (FRS) are generally first to respond. In this thesis, the FRS’ management of flooding is reviewed
Flann O´Briens The Third Policeman är skriven 1940 men publicerades 1967, efter författarens död. Några av de narrativa grepp som används i berättelsen undersöks. Tidsordningen i berättelsen jämförs med tidsordningen i den berättade storyn med utgångspunkt från teori i Gérard Genettes Narrative Discourse-An Essay in Method. Den totala tidens varaktighet (duration) i berättelsen jämförs med den tot
The emerging notion of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) as a low-primed cloud without sharply demarcated gene expression programs raises the question on how cellular-fate options emerge and at which stem-like stage lineage priming is initiated. Here, we investigate single-cell chromatin accessibility of Lineage-, cKit+, and Sca1+ (LSK) HSPCs spanning the early differentiation landsc
Background: Smoking cessation may be very difficult, even if smoking aggravates the prognosis of a disease, which has been shown to be the case for persons with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). In contrast, an association in patients with osteoarthritis (OA) is still disputed. The primary objective was to compare smokers diagnosed with RA and OA to controls, regarding smoking cessation rates after follo
Phagocytosis is relevant for many research fields and is often measured as a functional outcome. However, accurate quantification can be challenging, and many researchers find it difficult to study in a robust manner. There are many ways to measure phagocytosis, but what is often overlooked is the importance of experimental design and how the analysis is planned and performed. Experimental factors
