The current thesis examines the role of intuition in the strategic decision making process of executives. Limited applied research has been conducted on the field of intuitive processes in strategic decision making of top managers, therefore this paper attempts to shed more light on this specific topic. The purpose of this study is to investigate how and to what extent intuition affects executive
Perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are found globally in the environment, in humans and in wildlife and it is still not sure how these substances affect humans and animals. This study was performed as a systematic review to examine when these substances first attracted attention in different research areas. Also, to examine when the first publication was published and how the rese
Child marriage disproportionately affects 1 in 5 girls globally. Entry into early marriage predisposes women to intimate partner violence which affects 1 in 3 women globally. Dominican Republic has been affected by both phenomena, but studies examining the association is lacking. Also, studies in other countries mostly only focus on prevalence. This study examines differences in prevalence and lev
In Sweden there are several political goals stating the importance of diminished quantities of waste from the food sector, yet several thousand tons of potentially edible food are being discarded of every year. This study has examined the hindrances and opportunities of six different organizations/initiatives working to lower the rates of food waste from retail stores. It has also looked into pote
Iron deficiency is the most common nutritional disorder in the world. It is the only nutrient deficiency that is not exclusively prevalent in non-industrialized nations but also in all industrialized countries. Despite this, the treatment for the disease is inefficient, long and associated with side effects such as constipation and nausea. In recent years several studies have highlighted the diffe
This thesis covers established procedures for the successful and attempted immobilization of lipases and phospholipases to various hydrophobic support materials, utilizing a rotating bed reactor, magnetic stirrer and tube-rotator. The design of a robust platform was established with great instrumental knowledge and proper conditioning for the creation of efficient immobilizations and activity assa
The development of generic pharmaceuticals includes extensive data on equivalence with the reference listed drug is required by the European medicinal agency (EMA) and the North American equivalent. Equivalence must be proven for rheology, microstructure, and performance. This is a costly and time-consuming process. To reduce the costs, it is of interest to investigate if the release profile (perf
Restidsvariation för busstrafiken skapar osäkerhet för både passagerare och operatörer. För resenärer minskar möjligheten att förutse restid och ankomsttid vilket försvårar beslut kopplad till val av avgångstid eller möjligheten till effektiva byten. Operatörerna drabbas av minskad tidtabellstillförlitlighet och ökade kostnader på grund av större marginaler i tidtabellen. Tidigare forskning visar Travel time variability in bus traffic creates uncertainty for both passengers and operators. For passengers, unpredictable travel times complicate trip planning and transfers, while operators face reduced timetable reliability and increased costs from larger schedule buffers. Previous research shows that passengers value reductions in travel time variation more highly than reductions in average t
The aim with this study has been to examine and to analyze the discourse of Rosengård in Swedish media. With the concept of discourse is meant here specific ways to speak about and to understand the world, or a part of it. In order to reach increased understanding regarding media presentations and constructions of Rosengård, I have done a study about how Rosengård has been presented in the Swedish

This study explores the potential of new building insulation material specifically wood wool in Bhutanese Buildings. To cover social and performance-related aspects a quantitative and semi-structured qualitative interview study about the perception of current construction quality and methods and new building materials was conducted as well as a simulation study with different renovation scenarios.
In recent years, particularly following the definition of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for 2030, Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) have gained considerable attention, capturing the interest of both the scientific community and policymakers committed to addressing urban environmental issues. However, the need for studies to guide decision-makers in identifying suitable locations for NBS i
BACKGROUND: Despite improvements in short-term survival for Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest (OHCA) in the past two decades, long-term survival is still not well studied. Furthermore, the contribution of different variables on long-term survival have not been fully investigated.AIM: Examine the 1-year prognosis of patients discharged from hospital after an OHCA. Furthermore, identify factors predict
Background: Von Willebrand disease (VWD) is an inherited bleeding disorder caused by deficient or dysfunctional von Willebrand factor (VWF). VWF replacement therapy is indicated in VWD management. Methods: This systematic review was conducted to evaluate all available evidence of the efficacy, safety, dosing and consumption of pasteurized plasma-derived human coagulation FVIII/human VWF (pdVWF/FVI
Background: Previous studies on causative pathogens in peritonsillar abscesses have yielded varying results. However, Group A streptococci (GAS) and Fusobacterium necrophorum have been identified frequently. The aim of this study was to investigate pathogens in peritonsillar abscesses in patients tested for both ß-hemolytic streptococci and F. necrophorum, and to investigate associations between p
Background: Psychiatric disorders have been associated with venous thromboembolism (VTE). However, to our knowledge, no nationwide study has examined the familial association between VTE and psychiatric disorders. Objectives: We took a pedigree-based approach and examined the risk of psychiatric disorders in offspring from extended pedigrees according to the densities of VTE in pedigrees. Methods:
Objectives: To investigate the risk of upper urinary tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) in patients with non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC), in relation to the primary NMIBC tumour risk categories, calendar time trends and intravesical Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) treatment. Patient and methods: All patients with primary NMIBC diagnosed 1997–2019 registered in Bladder Cancer Data base Swe
Aim: To describe healthcare utilization patterns among older people with intellectual disabilities in comparison to that of their age peers in the general population, including possible changes due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Subjects and methods: This was a Swedish longitudinal, register-based cohort study comprising 766 people aged 65+ years with intellectual disabilities (ID cohort) and 257 285 s
Precapillary pulmonary hypertension (PH) is characterized by increased pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR), with progressively altered right (RV) and left ventricular (LV) hemodynamics and function. Kinetic energy (KE) from 4D flow cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) is a measure of intracardiac hemodynamics. In this observational case–control study, we investigate physiological mechanisms inf
