Despite the positive effects of physical activity in both physical and mental health, the proportion of Swedes who have a poor physical health is increasing. The aim of this research was to create knowledge according to what affects a physically active behavior. We used the motivational theory health action process approach (HAPA) and the goal setting technique SMART to find out if any of their co
Den odränerade skjuvhållfastheten är en viktig geoteknisk parameter som man behöver ha en god uppfattning om i samband med byggnation på lerrika jordarter. Då flertalet av de vanligen tillämpade undersökningsmetoderna är väldigt tidskrävande och kostsamma, finns det ett stort intresse för att undersöka hur alternativa och samtidigt mer enkelt mätbara parametrar, så som flytindex (IL), förhåller siUndrained shear strength is a crucial parameter of the clay-rich sediments commonly used in the design process of geotechnical structures and is determined by several tests. As a considerable part of these tests are cost- and time consuming, it is of interest to investigate the potential relationship with shear strength (cu) with alternative, easily measurable parameters, such as liquidity index (
Purpose: To increase the understanding of storytelling in the realm of social entrepreneurship, and to highlight how storytelling is used in social entrepreneurial resource acquisition. Methodology: With an interpretivist and objectivist stance qualitative interview material has been collected from 9 respondents. Analysis and conclusions are based on an iterative interpretation of primary intervie
Severely deficient activity of the von Willebrand Factor (VWF) cleaving metalloprotease,ADAMTS 13, is associated with thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP). The mutation spectrum ofADAMTS 13 is rather heterogeneous, and numerous mutations spread across the gene have been described in association with congenital TTP. The 4143insA mutation is unusual with respect to its geographic concentration.
The extent to which increased liver fat content influences differences in circulating metabolites and/or lipids between low-birth-weight (LBW) individuals, at increased risk of type 2 diabetes (T2D), and normal-birth-weight (NBW) controls is unknown. The objective of the study was to perform untargeted serum metabolomics and lipidomics analyses in 26 healthy, non-obese early-middle-aged LBW men, i
Osteocytes have recently been identified as a new regulator of bone remodeling, but the detailed mechanism of their differentiation from osteoblasts remains unclear. The purpose of this study is to identify cell cycle regulators involved in the differentiation of osteoblasts into osteocytes and determine their physiological significance. The study uses IDG-SW3 cells as a model for the differentiat
Cosmology presents students with ideas that stimulate their curiosity and brings together various concepts from STEM that call on a variety of reasoning types across multiple representational modes, involving subtleties of spacetime relations, a variety of models and evidence requiring multiple lines of high precision observations. This study investigated high school students’ levels and types of
Adaptive flyway management of superabundant geese is emerging as a strategy to reduce damage to agricultural crops and other ecosystem disservices, while also ensuring sustainable use and conservation objectives. Given the calls for intensified hunting as part of flyway management in Europe, we need to increase the understanding of structural, situational, and psychological factors important for g
Understanding the impact of various factors on train arrival delays is a prerequisite for effectiverailway traffic operating control and management. Existing studies analyze the train delayfactors using a single, generic regression equation, restricting their capability in accounting forheterogeneous impacts of spatiotemporal factors on arrival delays as the train travels along itsroute.

Bakgrund: En stor del av Sveriges räddningstjänst består av Räddningstjänstpersonal i Beredskap (RiB). Under beredskapen ska personalen vara tillgänglig dygnet runt för att rycka ut på eventuella larm, detta ofta parallellt med ett ordinarie arbete. Aktivitetsbalans är en viktig faktor för att främja hälsa och välbefinnande. Hur RiB upplever sin aktivitetsbalans under beredskapen finns i dagsläget
Denna rapport är en brandteknisk riskutvärdering av personsäkerheten vid Nicklagårdens äldreboende i Älmhult. Rapporten syftar till att undersöka möjligheten för boende och personal att utrymma boende vid händelse av brand. Utrymning av ett äldreboende ger upphov till särskilda utmaningar, där de boendes individuella förutsättningar måste tas hänsyn till vid evakueringsmodellering. På äldreboendet
Humanity is facing one of the greatest challenges ever. Climate change and global warming is a great risk and our consumption and dependency of fossil fuel are important causes of this accelerating issue. My thesis aims to design an entry for the professional debate about what urban areas in a fossil free future might be like. I’m investigating how an urban environment that requires as little tra
Digital tools are part of the everyday lives of social workers. In the political discourse surrounding the digitalization of social services, this development tends to be described as a naturally occurring force of change. What seems less prominent is how digitalization also carries values and ideas designed within the framework of a social and political context, digital tools are consequently not
En frivillig avnotering av ett aktiebolags aktie när bolaget fortfarande uppfyller noteringskraven är ett för en minoritetsägare ingripande beslut i deras aktieposter. Likt vid ett beslut om byte av bolagskategori från publikt till privat tillämpas inte bara olika regler utan möjligheten att omsätta aktierna påverkas drastiskt varför sådana beslut riskerar att urholka minoritetsägarnas förmögenhetDelisting of shares when the company still meets the listing requirements is an intrusive decision for minority shareholders. As with a decision to change legal form of the company from public to private. Not only do different rules apply but the possibility of trading the shares is drastically affected and such decisions risk eroding the wealth of minority shareholders. The purpose of the essay
