Accessible design enables participation in the digital society for everyone. However, cognitive accessibility is not well established within the field of web design. The International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) provides a descriptive framework that relates health conditions to functioning and participation. ICF Core Sets are purposefully tailored shortlists of ICF c

A complete set of all optical phonon modes predicted by symmetry for bixbyite structure indium oxide is reported here from a combination of far-infrared and infrared spectroscopic ellipsometry, as well as first principles calculations. Dielectric function spectra measured on high quality, marginally electrically conductive melt grown single bulk crystals are obtained on a wavelength-by-wavelength

OBJECTIVES: Telehealth, the provision of healthcare through digital communication, has been proposed as a potential solution to meet the increasing demand for healthcare, particularly in the setting of the COVID-19 pandemic. Sweden has an established national telehealth service for triage and referral by phone (1177) since 2013 which has the potential to meet this increasing demand. However, littl

This paper advances a model of moral ambiguity in entrepreneurial action. Our model specifies the mechanisms surrounding moral responsibility, moral motivation, and the moral threshold through which perceived moral ambiguity shapes action. Specifically, we theorize (a) the interpretative elements that steer how the entrepreneur attributes moral responsibility and establishes moral motivation, (b)

Decarbonization in several countries is now linked to the prospect of implementing a national hydrogen economy. In countries with extensive natural gas infrastructure, hydrogen may provide a real opportunity to decarbonize space heating. While this approach may prove technically and economically feasible in the long-term, it is unclear whether consumers will be willing to adopt hydrogen-fueled app

The thesis investigates the generation of terahertz (THz) radiation through difference-frequency generation (DFG) using chirped and unchirped near-infrared pulses. THz radiation enables the study of phonon dynamics in matter through direct interaction with the crystal lattice. THz radiation is used to induce low-energy excitations in matter while simultaneously avoiding large increases in sample t

Background: Expanding access to self-management via Digital Health Technologies may supplement traditional care, mitigating pressures on primary care through self-management. Primary Care Physicians (PCP) can play a critical role in the integration of digital health technologies into patient care, but it is unclear what factors influence PCPs’ recommendation of such technologies. Aims: To identify

Detta examensarbete behandlar den morfologiska utvecklingen av Skanörs norra strand. Bakgrunden till arbetet är att kusterosion utgör ett ökande problem i Skåne som leder till förlust av stränder med konsekvenser för miljö och samhällen. Syftet med studien är att analysera strandlinjeutvecklingen för Skanörs norra strand genom att utreda strandlinjens historiska förändringar, förutsäga framtida utThis thesis examines the morphological development of Skanör’s northern beach. The study is motivated by the increasing problem of coastal erosion in Skåne which leads to beach loss with environmental and societal impacts. The study aims to analyse historical shoreline changes, predict future development, assess the influence of the harbour, and evaluate potential erosion management measures. Hist

Purpose: This paper aims to uncover the associations and expectations consumers develop from a brand taking a political or social stance. We build upon existing literature to offer managers, and the research field, valuable insights to bridge the knowledge gap on what to consider before taking a stance. This paper guides the reader through a set of key considerations to evaluate before taking acti

Purpose: To investigate how the nation brand and country-of-origin of China jointly influence the European consumers’ perceptions towards Chinese smartphone brands. The reputation of Chinese smartphone brands in Europe is shaped by European consumers' concerns about China's national image over their global success and technological advancements. Hence, this study focuses on how these perce

Purpose: The authors aim to analyse how brands can strategically communicate their Country of Origin (COO) and what the drivers are behind the different intensities of COO signaling. Methodology: This study applies a qualitative multiple case approach based on secondary data, following an abductive reasoning process that iteratively connects empirical observations from the cases with relevant theo

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to examine how Chinese automotive brands evolve from local to global players through different internationalization strategies and how they have to elevate their brands in the minds of consumers to reach global success. Design/methodology/approach – A longitudinal case and qualitative study of the Chinese brands: Geely, BYD, and SAIC (MG)’s internationalizat

Purpose This paper aims to explore how low-cost brands can rejuvenate and create an emotionally engaging brand identity, moving beyond their low-price positioning. Methodology A qualitative research approach has been used, drawing on both primary and secondary data. The primary data consist of semi-structured interviews exploring low-cost brands and their marketing. The secondary data includes a

Background: The role of cystectomy in synchronous oligometastatic bladder cancer is unclear. Objective: To describe a population-based consecutive cohort with primary oligometastatic bladder cancer (M1a or M1b) treated with curative intent. Methods: Twenty consecutive patients with primary stage M1a or M1b bladder cancer subjected to induction chemotherapy and radical cystectomy 2013–2024 in the S

Drawing upon meticulous ethnographic analysis and unique data sources, this book dissects the multifaceted challenges and occasional victories encountered by both educators and detained youth in Sweden. Originally published in Swedish, this book provides fresh insights into a crucial aspect of youth care and education. Theoretical underpinnings draw from ethnomethodology’s focus on members’ accoun

Over the past 50 years, the number of tendon ruptures has been increasing. Ruptures may be traumatic, or as a response to long term tendinopathy including e.g. inflammation, altered structure and composition of the tendon. Tendons are primarily made up of water and load bearing collagen molecules that hierarchically assemble into fibrils, aggregate into fibres, that combine into fascicles and even

Full-duplex (FD) communication improves spectral efficiency by allowing simultaneous transmission and reception on the same frequency band. This paper analyzes a two-tier network consisting of macrocells and picocells, where base stations (BSs) operate in FD mode while users operate in half-duplex (HD) mode. However, interference remains a major challenge in these systems, significantly impacting
