Writers composing multi-sentence texts have immediate access to a visual representation of what they have written. Little is known about the detail of writers’ eye movements within this text during production. We describe two experiments in which competent adult writers’ eye movements were tracked while performing short expository writing tasks. These are contrasted with conditions in which partic
The purpose of this master's thesis is to examine whether music formats, as well as social media and apps, has affected how people dedicated to music search for music – and how this relates to the master's thesis theoretical aspects, as well as previous research about music information-seeking and -retrieval and the significance of tactile attributes. This will also be put in a library con
The purpose of this study is to explore and visualize individuals’ personal experiences of the social work carried out by the social services. We have examined individuals’ opinions and feelings based on their experiences and contact with the social services. Through six qualitative interviews based on the Interpretive Phenomenological Analysis, we have analyzed the empirical data by applying Char
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to improve the material supply to assembly stations at Nedermans and identify parameters and principles that determine if the components should be stored at the assembly station or in the warehouse. The improvement should reduce the floor space used for assembly, increase the assembly utilization rate and reduce waste of time in the material handling.

This ergonomics exposure assessment study compared the efficiency of eight 1-day-only strategies, that is, the relationship between the number of data collected per subject and the precision of the resulting mean exposure estimate. Whole-day electromyographic recordings from the right upper trapezius muscle in 24 cleaners and 23 office workers were processed to give minute-by-minute values of gap
Primary open angle glaucoma, one of the leading causes of blindness in the world, constitutes a slow progressing condition characterized by damage to the optic nerve and retinal nerve fibre layer, and results in visual field defects afflicting the visual function. Highly specific and sensitive diagnostic tests able to detect the clinically significant glaucomatous changes in the structure of the n
Early age at menarche is a risk factor for breast cancer. A previous study reported a significant positive association between the CYP3A4*1B variant allele and early puberty. We investigated whether polymorphisms of the CYP3A4, CYP17, CYP1B1, and CYP1A2 genes predict the age at onset of menarche. Five hundred eighty-three nulliparous women between ages 17 and 35, of various ethnic backgrounds, com
Background: Increasing numbers of intercountry adoptees are reaching adulthood, the age of onset for most serious mental disorders. Little is known about the development of schizophrenia in intercountry adoptees, a group with potentially increased vulnerability. The aim of this study was to investigate the risk of developing schizophrenia in adoptees and in non-adoptees. Methods: Utilising data fr
The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) has been studied in a multitude of mammals by now, but much less is known about its organisation and variation in other vertebrate species. The mammalian MHC is organised as a single gene cluster, but recent studies on birds suggest that this paradigm of MHC organisation has to be supplemented. The domestic chicken thus possesses two separate gene cluster
Hylander treated 144 species of Hieracium sect. Hieracium found in Scandinavian parks, 132 of which were described for the first time. However, he did not supply any determination key, only a few species were illustrated and hints about the differences between species were few. In addition, the species concept of Hylander was obviously much narrower than what has been agreed upon by those working
I denna studie analyseras muntliga etnicitetsgestaltningar hos olika aktörer i ungdomsvården. Undersökningen uppmärksammar etniciteten när den uttrycks verbalt och icke-verbalt, hur den uttrycks samt i vilka situationer kategoriseringar synliggörs implicit eller explicit. Studiens syfte är: att analysera när och hur etnicitet aktualiseras genom kategoriseringar i ungdomsvården, att uppmärksamma hThe aim of this study is to analyze when and how ethnicity is actualised through categorisations in Swedish youth-care, to attract attention to how these categorisations are indicated and point out how the narrators own ethnic identity is shaped and upheld through different markings. The report is based on 109 interviews conducted with different actors in the youth-care and my field-notes made in
We develop the case for symmetrical assumptions in strategic management theory. Assumptional symmetry obtains when assumptions made about certain actors and their interactions in one of the application domains of a theory are also made about this set of actors and their interactions in other application domains of the theory. We argue that assumptional symmetry leads to theoretical advancement by
Fourteen genera belong to a monophyletic core of cetrarioid lichens, Ahtiana, Allocetraria, Arctocetraria, Cetraria, Cetrariella, Cetreliopsis, Flavocetraria, Kaernefeltia, Masonhalea, Nephromopsis, Tuckermanella, Tuckermannopsis, Usnocetraria and Vulpicida. A total of 71 samples representing 65 species (of 90 worldwide) and all type species of the genera are included in phylogentic analyses based
Appreciation and production of musical rhythm is a human universal and, as with other human capacities, it is imperative to understand the extent of our capacity to perceive and produce rhythm. This thesis presents my work on the cognitive and perceptual aspects of rhythm perception and production at a slow tempi. In Paper I I establish that rhythm production, such as keeping the beat to a metron
Background The Medical School of Lund University, Sweden, has introduced an early patient contact course, including training in communication and examination skills. The course runs parallel with theoretical subjects during the students' first two-and-a-half years. General practitioner (GP) participation is gradually increasing, and in the last half-year of the course GPs in all health centres in
This contribution explores the area of tax law pertaining to treatment of debt and equity finance as well as devises recommendations for Member States of the European Union seeking to promote equity participation without the risk of infringing upon Community law provisions relating to State aid. The study begins with the presentation of the underlying issues pertaining to the choice between debt

Den vanligaste indirekta vinstfördelningsmetoden är den så kallade genomsnittsvärdeprincipen som används för att beräkna ersättning vid tomtbildning. I vissa fall ger genomsnittsvärdeprincipen ett oskäligt resultat och ska då, enligt 5 kap. 11 § fastighetsbildningslagen, jämkas. I litteraturen framkommer det att ersättningen bör jämkas då mark frångår eller tillförs redan bebyggd fastighet - frågaThe most common indirect profit allocation method is the principle of average value which is used to calculate the compensation in plot forming. In some cases the principle of average value gives an unreasonable compensation and should in such cases be adjusted, according to the Property Formation Act ch. 5 art. 11. The literature states that the compensation should be adjusted when land is suppli
Dr. Wambui Njogu marvels when she thinks about the year 2018. She vividly recounts that that year...the year 2018, was a defining moment for her doctoral studies. “I remember the Regional Africa Programme (RAP) had organized a research symposium for doctoral students in November 2018. I was privileged to be part of those attending the symposium and I must say with a lot of gratitude that one of th
