I have examined strategies which can compensate problems that music teachers diagnosed with ADHD meet in their professional role. Focusing on the teachers’ stories of creating solutions to get a functioning professional life, the results were produced by four qualitative interviews with teachers who themselves have ADHD. The study shows examples of how the teachers cope with their difficulties. Th
Abstract Purpose Middle managers role within the public sector is constantly changing while it is also them who must ensure that changes are implemented. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the role of the middle managers in the context of change management. Method Six middle managers in the public sector were interviewed about their experiences regarding the role associated with the chang
The focus of this master’s thesis was aimed at E.ON’s electricity saving project, 100koll, in collaboration with IT-consulting firm Data Ductus.The 100koll users demand high availability, which creates a complex underlaying system-infrastructure. The processes of deploying and preparing new releases to the system is presently done manually. Data Ductus is requesting an investigation on whether or
Syftet med denna uppsats är att fastställa vilka beslut som faller inom den verkställande direktörens beslutskompetens enligt den svenska aktiebolagslagen. Jag har i uppsatsen utgått från rättskälleläran och utrett frågeställning med hjälp av lag, förarbeten, rättspraxis och ett rikt litteraturläge. Alla rättskällor har bidragit till en närmre precisering av det centrala begreppet för den verkstäThe main purpose of this thesis is to determine which decision fall within the executive directors’ decision-making power in accordance with Swedish corporate jurisdiction. I have grounded this thesis through a method of legal sources and investigated the question at issue with the help of law, its legislative history, case law and a smorgasbord of literature. All the legal sources have contribut
Problem formulation: Recent results from the European Food Information Council’s consumer research on nutrition information and food labelling revealed that most consumers have little understanding of the nutrition information found on food products, feel that there is little authority regulating these matters and wish for a more trusted source of information and regulation and lastly it was found
Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka hur musiker som har drabbats av tinnitus eller ljudöverkänslighet hanterar sitt yrke. Underlaget för studien består av fem stycken intervjuer med aktiva musiker inom klassisk musik, jazz och rock/blues som drabbats av tinnitus och/eller ljudöverkänslighet. Studiens resultat visar på följande åtgärder och är kategoriserade efter dessa: sjukskrivning/längre uTitle: A life in crash and bang - research about how musicians with tinnitus cope with their profession The purpose of this study is to investigate how musicians who have been affected by tinnitus or sound sensitivity deal with their profession. The material of this study consists of five interviews with professional musicians active within the classical music sphere as well as within jazz and roc
Numerical analyses (multidimensional scaling and Bk non-hierarchic cluster analysis) of wild populations of Silene dioica (L.) CIairv. from Scotland showed a complex pattern of variation, related partly to habitat and partly to geographic location. Subsets of characters- flower/capsule, seed, and vegetative characters- showed discordance, i.e. imperfectly correlated patterns of variation.Material
Aim: Our aim was to investigate in a large population-based cohort study whether increased arterial stiffness and subclinical atherosclerosis in the coronary arteries differ at different stages of dysglycaemia. Methods: Data were obtained from SCAPIS, a population-based cohort of participants 50–64 years. The study population of 9379 participants was categorised according to glycaemic status: norm
Light cues elicit strong responses from nearly all forms of life, perhaps most notably as circadian rhythms entrained by periods of daylight and darkness. Atypical periods of darkness, like solar eclipses, provide rare opportunities to study biological responses to light cues. By using a continental scale radar network, we investigated responses of flying animals to the total solar eclipse of 21 A
Two MgRE (RE = Ce, Nd) alloys with ultrafine-grain (UFG) microstructures were prepared by high-pressure torsion (HPT) at room temperature. The in-depth distribution of defects was characterized by Doppler broadening –variable energy positron annihilation spectroscopy (DB-VEPAS). The characteristic S parameter increases in bulk after HPT processing relative to an as-received sample and shows a rela
Microstructural evolution during the early stages of ageing (less than one hour) in a Ni-Cr-Fe based superalloy Inconel 718 (IN718) has been investigated using Small-Angle X-ray Scattering (SAXS). The effects of precipitate kinetics on the precipitate size distribution are compared indirectly with SAXS measurements by using Vickers microhardness data. The microhardness increased after 4 min of age
Condylomata acuminata is caused by human papillomavirus (HPV). PCR with consensus primers will typically detect HPV in >96% of condylomata. Metagenomic sequencing has found that some "HPV-negative" condylomata do indeed contain HPV. We wished to perform a renewed evaluation of the "HPV-negative" condylomata using deeper metagenomics sequencing. Sequencing of whole genome amplified DNA from 40 appa
The stress fields of expanding (precipitation) and contracting (dissolution) hydride plates were computed by finite element method using Zr-H solid solution and hydride properties at 25, 200 and 400 degrees C for fully and semi-constrained hydride plates. For the first time simultaneous hydride expansion and matrix contraction and vice-versa have been considered in a simulation of hydride precipit
The mechanism and kinetics of the radical C-3(2) + C3H8 reaction have been investigated theoretically by direct ab initio kinetics over a wide temperature range. The potential energy surfaces have been constructed at the CCSD(T)/B3//UMP2/B1 levels of theory. The electron transfer was also analyzed by quasi-restricted orbital (QRO) in detail. It was shown that all these channels proceed exclusively
In this work, we present an optical approach that allows quantification of compounds dissolved down to a sub 10 ppm (molar) level in supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO(2)) by in situ Raman spectroscopy. The quantification strategy is based on the consideration of Raman signal intensity ratios and of weak Raman signals of CO2. The first measure makes the quantification strategy independent of the r
The emotional salience of faces has previously been shown to induce memory distortions in recognition memory tasks. This event-related potential (ERP) study used repeated runs of a continuous recognition task with emotional and neutral faces to investigate emotion-induced memory distortions. In the second and third runs, participants made more false alarms to distracters (repeated from previous ru
Background:To compare different ultrasound-based international ovarian tumour analysis (IOTA) strategies and risk of malignancy index (RMI) for ovarian cancer diagnosis using a meta-analysis approach of centre-specific data from IOTA3.Methods:This prospective multicentre diagnostic accuracy study included 2403 patients with 1423 benign and 980 malignant adnexal masses from 2009 until 2012. All pat
A comprehensive study of the molecular active landscape of human cells can be undertaken to integrate two different but complementary perspectives: transcriptomics, and proteomics. After the genome era, proteomics has emerged as a powerful tool to simultaneously identify and characterize the compendium of thousands of different proteins active in a cell. Thus, the Chromosome-centric Human Proteome
Crystalline lenses with multiple focal lengths in monochromatic light (multifocal lenses) are present in many vertebrate groups. These lenses compensate for chromatic aberration and create well-focused color images. Stabilization of the lens within the eye and the ability to adjust focus are further requirements for vision in high detail. We investigated the occurrence of multifocal lenses by phot
Introduction Simulation-based studies indicate that crisis checklist use improves management of patients with critical conditions in the emergency department (ED). An interview-based study suggests that use of an emergency manual (EM) - a collection of crisis checklists - improves management of clinical perioperative crises. There is a need for in-depth prospective studies of EM use during clinica
