Bakgrund: Höga ljudnivåer och bullerskador är ett vanligt problem på arbetsplatser. Många väljer att inte använda hörselskydd då de upplevs försvåra kommunikation. En metod som med ett enkelt mått kan utvärdera hörselskydds påverkan av taluppfattning vore värdefullt. Syfte: Syftet med studien var att undersöka möjligheten att med metoden Speech intelligibility impact Level (SiimpL) mäta skillnad m
The thesis investigates whether the higher education expansion policy, issued in 1999, China, improved individuals’ schooling and wages. The thesis mainly applies Mincer functions. Empirical results show that higher education policy increased schooling years, but it does not change the economic returns to higher education dramatically. Heterogeneous return was evident in the region, type of work u

On the basis of ethnographic fieldwork in Singapore, the article explores the tension between children's academic success and emotional wellbeing, and the ways in which middle-class parents navigate these conflicting aspirations. It delves into families with young children who pursue alternative lifestyles by moving abroad to a presumably less stressful environment or by homeschooling their childrOn the basis of ethnographic fieldwork in Singapore, the article explores the tension between children's academic success and emotional wellbeing, and the ways in which middle-class parents navigate these conflicting aspirations.

In vivo proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H-MRS) data often exhibit baselines or low-amplitude signal variations resulting from residual water, imperfectly suppressed lipids, low-amplitude metabolites not considered for fitting, and other features not represented in a basis set. While multitudinous approaches exist to model these baselines in 1H-MR spectral analysis, many continue to lack s
Layered TiS2 has been proposed as a versatile host material for various battery chemistries. Nevertheless, its compatibility with aqueous electrolytes has not been thoroughly understood. Herein, we report on a reversible hydration process to account for the electrochemical activity and structural evolution of TiS2 in a relatively dilute electrolyte for sustainable aqueous Li-ion batteries. Solvate
Apotosis is an essential process tightly regulated by the Bcl-2 protein family where proapoptotic Bax triggers cell death by perforating the mitochondrial outer membrane. Although intensively studied, the molecular mechanism by which these proteins create apoptotic pores remains elusive. Here, we show that Bax creates pores by extracting lipids from outer mitochondrial membrane mimics by formation
During the 20th century, a number of actors and institutions set out to develop taxonomies of the Swedish population. This thesis examines the most important social classification system, the social group, which despite its great importance in administrative, scientific, commercial, political and media contexts has received little attention in historical research. Invented by the Central Bureau
Heat exchanger network pinch sets the limitations of heat recovery for existing network topologies. Improving the heat recovery within a pinched-network is independent of the areas of individual exchangers present in the network, rather the topology of the network must be altered. Such a change in the topology can be very capital intensive and in many cases seems not easy to implement. This resear
Information and communication are increasingly being conveyed over the Internet. The forms of service and commerce that we are familiar with today will most likely be reduced in scale in the future to be replaced by new electronic solutions. For this reason, it is important that new technology be designed so that as many people as possible can utilize it. Accessibility to a range of services and i
Four leachates from two landfills in Sweden were treated for the removal of heavy metals with the aid of sulphate-reducing bacteria (SRB). Both continuous and batch experiments were performed. A packed-bed process was used for sulphide production. The metals studied were As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Hg, Ni, Pb, and Zn. The continuous experiments showed that Cd and Cu were most efficiently removed and that Cr w
Photoinduced electronic and structural changes of a hydrogen-generating supramolecular RuPt photocatalyst are studied by a combination of time-resolved photoluminescence, optical transient absorption, and X-ray absorption spectroscopy. This work uses the element specificity of X-ray techniques to focus on the interplay between the photophysical and -chemical processes and the associated time scale
Det relativt nya fenomenet reality-serier blir allt populärare och upptar en stor del av dagens tv-tablå. Fenomenet tillsammans med övrig massmedia har större inflytande och påverkan på samhället och oss människor än någonsin tidigare. Man diskuterar alkoholens roll i samhället, dess konsekvenser för relationer, hälsa o.s.v. Sedan TV kom har även alkoholens representation i TV kommit att bli en he
Som en del av innovationsarbetet och tillväxten inom Axis, har rörelsedetektering med hjälp av ny teknik utforskats. Genom sin utveckling har, bilindustrin sänkt kostnaderna på RAdio Detection And Ranging (RADAR) sensorer, vilket gör dem till en attraktiv hårdvara att inkludera i övervakningskameror och dess system. Men, hur kan den nya hårdvaran förbättra övervakning och ge slutanvändaren en bättAs a part of the innovation and growth within the Axis, object detection with new technology is explored. The car industry is lowering the costs on RAdio Detection And Ranging (RADAR) chipsets, making them a viable hardware to incorporate within a surveillance camera device. How can the new hardware improve surveillance and provide the end user with an enhanced experience? One challenge is to grap
Nudging has been discussed in the context of policy and public health, but not so much within healthcare. This scoping review aimed to assess the empirical evidence on how nudging techniques can be used to affect the behavior of healthcare professionals (HCPs) in clinical settings. A systematic database search was conducted for the period January 2010-December 2020 using the PRISMA extension for S
