Background: Self-rated health (SRH) is an international measure and indicator of mortality and morbidity that can be used as a mortality predictor in adulthood. This study aimed to examine the status of SRH among adults in Qazvin Province and its relationship with physical activity levels and demographic factors in primary care centers. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study. We included data fr

In recent years, the environmental impact of warfare has made front-page news. Discussions about “ecocide”—a term first proposed in 1970 by Yale biologist Arthur W. Galston to describe the large-scale destruction of ecosystems during the Vietnam War—have come into the spotlight. The preparation and conduct of war, along with the social, economic, and scientific reorganisation that accompany it, of

Background: SARS-CoV-2 remains globally circulating, yet post-pandemic comprehensive molecular, serological, and population-level immunity data from low-resource settings such as Ethiopia are limited. This study employed genomic surveillance with seroepidemiological assessment to characterize the epidemiology of SARS-CoV-2 among individuals presenting with influenza-like illness (ILI) and severe a

This paper traces the evolution of managerial thought, from the time of industrialization in Europe to the present day, to build a conceptual infrastructure for studying the continuously evolving phenomenon of algorithmic management. We develop this account using Foucault's genealogical method in order to expand the dominant view of algorithmic management as merely a form of digital Taylorism and

Rat chondrosarcoma chondrocytes were labeled with [3H]serine or [3H]mannose as a precursor. Intracellular proteoglycan core protein precursor was purified from cell lysates by immunoprecipitation with polyclonal antibodies against the hyaluronic acid-binding region, followed by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The core precursor was eluted from the gels and treated with a

This paper provides a general framework for electromagnetic modeling, computation and measurements regarding the wave propagation characteristics of High-Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) power cables. The modeling is focused on very long (10 km or more) HVDC power cables and the relevant frequency range is therefore in the low-frequency regime of about 0-100 kHz. An exact dispersion relation is form

This thesis defends a hedonistic theory of value consisting of two main components. Part 1 offers a theory of pleasure. Pleasures are experiences distinguished by a distinct phenomenological quality. This quality is attitudinal in nature: it is the feeling of liking. The pleasure experience is also an object of this attitude: when feeling pleasure, we like what we feel, and part of how it feels is

The international standard IEC 62264, also known as ISA95, deals with Enterprise-Control System integration and Manufacturing Operations Management. The standard contains, among other things, a description of what Manufacturing Operations means. The description states that The activities of manufacturing operations management are those activities of a manufacturing facility that coordinate the per

Understanding User Participation in Research on Ageing and Health -- Experiences and Emerging Findings from the UserAge Program Chair: Susanne Iwarsson, Sweden Session Type: Symposia User participation in research is a hot topic, but the knowledge about the phenomenon as such and the outcomes of research involving users is insufficient. The goals of the UserAge program are to maximize the impact o

With the projection of a growing amount of waste from photovoltaic (PV) panels in coming years, experts and researchers have highlighted the importance of the circular economy approach to face this challenge. With this approach, risks linked to the composition of PV panels, such as pollution and wastage of valuable materials, can be reduced. Therefore, this thesis aims to provide a systematic view

The aim of this case study of Malmo is to investigate the relations between the perceived density and the physical density by comparing areas with different densities and distance from the city center and to which extend this may be connected to social justice. In this essay, social justice is defined as an even distribution of resources, services and opportunities regardless of one’s geographical

När politikerna själva har ordet Denna studie undersöker vad som händer när den politiska kommunikationen förflyttas från de traditionella nyhetsmedierna till den politiska organisationen, och därmed inte är beroende av journalister och gatekeepers längre. Samt om en politisk organisation, genom sin Youtube-kanal, i själva verket kan göra anspråk på att likställas med traditionell journalistik. UtWhen the politicians have the floor This study examines what happens when political communication is shifted from the traditional news media to the political organization itself, and thus is no longer dependent on journalists and gatekeepers. As well as whether a political organization, through its YouTube channel, can in fact claim to be equivalent to traditional journalism. Based on previous res

Var och en som anklagas för brott ska enligt Europakonventionen tillförsäkras rätten till en rättvis rättegång samt rätten att betraktas som oskyldig fram till dess att motsatsen bevisats. Genom denna oskyldighetspresumtion ska den tilltalade i en brottmålsrättegång inte behöva bevisa sig fri och har därför även rätten att vara tyst. Som en konsekvens av oskyldighetspresumtionen är det därför åklaAccording to the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms, everyone accused of a crime must be guaranteed the right to a fair trial and the right to be presumed innocent until proven guilty. Due to the presumption of innocence, the accused in a criminal trial should not have to prove his or her innocence and therefore also has the right to remain silent. As a

The combination of item non response and cluster analysis is a field which has not been explored to its full extent. This study aims to investigate which consequences a data set with missing values has on the algorithm of cluster analysis and which model for imputation should be suggested in order to minimize standard error and the optimal number of clusters. Basing our research on principal compo

The aim of this study was to examine how three focus groups of migrants in Sweden, with Swedish as a second language, which is in long-term unemployment, experience the group's and the community's significance for linguistic and individual development. With a goal-oriented selection, we contacted the respondents through the Labor Market Department (Arbetsmarknadsavdelningen) in Malmö Stad.

The 5th generation (5G) has recently specified a new spectrum range, FR2- 5G New Radio (5G-NR), to provide higher spectral efficiency and channel capacity for ubiquitous cellular connectivity where the user ends can be in various types such as picocell stations, sensor nodes, cloud servers, hand-held devices, and so on. Due to the advantage of phased array antennas in performing beam-forming, and

Social work has been the subject for many reformations during the last decades. One change in the execution of meeting the needs of the public – a changed delegation order – decreases the social workers’ right to make decisions, in the social service’s housing unit in a Swedish municipality. The aim of this study was to investigate what this change means for the professionals at this organization,

Vid sammansättningen av kameror ställs höga krav på finjustering av sensorn och objektivets relativa position för att den resulterande bilden ska bli skarp. Axisutvecklade nätverkskameror fokuseras, av olika anledningar, i oändligheten. Examensarbetet utvecklar mjukvara för ett nytt verktyg, Modus, som ska användas in-house för att undersöka effekten av kamerans backfokus på bildens skärpa. VerktFix-focal cameras require careful alignment of the sensor relative to the lens during assembly in order to produce a sharp image. Axis developed wide- and fish-eye network cameras are, for a number of reasons, focused at infinity when aligned. This thesis develops the software for a new inhouse tool to be used at Axis to analyze the back-focus effect on the camera’s focus characteristics. The too

In Kenya, the commercialization of smallholder agriculture has become an inte¬gral part of the national strategy to address the problems of economic and food poverty. Despite extensive governmental efforts to promote the transition of smallhold¬ers from subsistence-based to commercially-oriented livelihoods, a broad based transformation of the sector has not yet materialized. The thesis is based o
