Background: Motion sickness (MS) is a common complaint during most modes of travel. Several medications can be used to treat MS but are often accompanied by side-effects. Objective: To assess whether performing the Valsalva manoeuvre can influence the subjective feeling of MS in healthy individuals. Methods: We included 16 healthy participants (4 female) that underwent two sessions of MS induction
Ledarskap har beskrivits som ett undflyende fenomen – en (positiv) lösning som kan kopplas till nästintill alla problem, men är svårt att fånga när det händer. Karisma, transformation och extraordinärisering utgör synsätt på ledarskap där särskilda individer tillskrivs extraordinära egenskaper, men de har inte fångat hur detta görs i vardagliga interaktioner. Ledarskap som praktik och ledarskap i Leadership has been described as a disappearing phenomenon – a (positive) solution that can be attached to almost any problem, yet it is difficult to capture as it happens. Charisma, transformation, and extra-ordinarization are perspectives on leadership where certain individuals are ascribed extraordinary qualities, but this is not captured analytically in everyday interactions. However, Leadersh
It is argued, that the use of water can no longer be regarded as an almost free commodity. The idea to assess and value the environmental impact of the water use represents a true change of paradigm. The key issue is that any future wastewater treatment system has to be evaluated according to a quantitative criterion. This has to consider: •hygienic aspects: we believe that nobody will accept a l
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate if opioid-free anaesthesia (OFA), is non-inferior to standard of care (SOC), in patients at low risk for acute postoperative pain (APOP).DESIGN: Patient- and assessor-blinded, non-inferiority, randomised, controlled trial.SETTING: Single centre between March 2022 to February 2024.PATIENTS: 154 adult patients, ASA I - II, planned for elective laparoscopic surgery and risk-cla
Denna uppsats syftar till att utreda var gränsen för den upphovsrättsliga inskränkningen om exemplarframställning för privat bruk går, när det kommer till publicering av bilder och fotografi på Internet och i sociala medier. Upphovsrätt är en ensamrätt, vilken innebär att upphovsmannen besitter en uteslutande förfoganderätt till sitt verk. Ensamrätten består av dels ekonomiska rättigheter och delsIn my final thesis I aim to investigate where the limit of the copyright restriction on copying and reproduction for private use goes, when it comes to posting photos and photography on the Internet and in different social media forums. Copyright is an exclusive right, which means that the author possesses an exclusive right of use to his work. Exclusivity comprises both economic rights and moral
Apart from providing some new experimental data the paper reviews previous investigations concerning fluctuating lift acting on a stationary circular cylinder in cross-flow. In particular, effects of Reynolds number in the nominal case of an infinitely long and nonconfined cylinder in a smooth oncoming flow are discussed. The Reynolds number range covered is from about Re = 47 to 2 x 10(5), i.e.,
We provide evidence that the human papillomavirus (HPV) E2 protein regulates HPV late gene expression. High levels of E2 caused a read-through at the early polyadenylation signal pAE into the late region of the HPV genome, thereby inducing expression of L1 and L2 mRNAs. This is a conserved property of E2 of both mucosal and cutaneous HPV types. Induction could be reversed by high levels of HPV-16
Introduction: Reliable, valid, and easy-to-administer instruments to identify possible “caseness” and to provide proxies for clinical diagnoses are needed in epidemiological research on child and adolescent mental health. The Autism–Tics, ADHD and other Comorbidities (A-TAC) inventory was developed to be used as a comprehensive interview to evaluate neurodevelopmental problems (NDPs), e.g. autism
We revised the hip (6 stems and 5 sockets) with impacted morselized allografts and cement in 6 patients. We followed prosthetic migration by roentgen radiostereometric analysis (RSA) every 7th day for 6 weeks after the first (index) examination performed on the first postoperative day before mobilization. Most of the migration occurred during the first 2 weeks. In most cases more than half of the
Dominance by cyanobacteria hampers human use of lakes and reservoirs worldwide. Previous studies indicate that excessive nutrient loading and warmer conditions promote dominance by cyanobacteria, but evidence from global scale field data has so far been scarce. Our analysis, based on a study of 143 lakes along a latitudinal transect ranging from subarctic Europe to southern South America, shows th
Background: Assessing and evaluating health care is important, and an abundance of instruments are developed in different languages. Translating existing, validated instruments is demanding and calls for adherence to protocol. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to translate and culturally adapt the FAMCARE-2 scale for use in Sweden. Methods: Traditional back-translation and the decentering sta
This article presents key energy use figures and explores the energy saving potential for electric lighting in office buildings based on a review of relevant literature, with special emphasis on a North European context. The review reveals that theoretical calculations, measurements in full-scale rooms and simulations with validated lighting programs indicate that an energy intensity of around 10
Lewis' concept of admissibility was introduced as an integral part of his famous Principal Principle; the principle that initial rational/reasonable belief should conform to objective chance unless there is evidence to the contrary. At that time Lewis offered only the rough and ready characterisation that evidence not to the contrary of such dependence is admissible. This, together with some suffi
This chapter presents key energy use figures and explores the energy saving potential for electric lighting in office buildings based on a review of relevant literature, with special emphasis on a North European context. The review outlines that an energy intensity of around 10 kWh/m2yr is a realistic target for electric lighting in future low energy office buildings, based on theoretical calculat
Intranasal oxytocin (OT) has previously been found to increase spirituality, an effect moderated by OT-related genotypes. This pre-registered study sought to conceptually replicate and extend those findings. Using a single dose of intranasal OT vs placebo (PL), we investigated experimental treatment effects, and moderation by OT-related genotypes on spirituality, mystical experiences, and the sens
New recommendations for environmental noise levels have been issued in Sweden. The permissible levels at facades of new buildings have been increased, which has resulted in a risk for higher indoor low frequency noise levels, since the recommended indoor levels are A-weighted. The additional Swedish low frequency third octave band requirements might be violated. Therefore, there is a need for revi
The peak-to-valley (PTV) method was investigated experimentally comparing PTV ratios for three HPGe detectors, with complementary Monte Carlo simulations of scatter in air for larger source-detector distances. The measured PTV ratios for 137Cs in air were similar for three different detectors for incident angles between 0 and 90°. The study indicated that the PTV method can differentiate between s
