As part of the Swedish state-funded healthcare system, housing adaptations are used to promote safe and independent living for disabled people in ordinary housing through the elimination of physical environmental barriers in the home. The aim of this study was to describe the cohabitants' expectations and experiences of how a housing adaptation, intended for the partner, would impact their everyda
Addressing the biodiversity crisis requires renewed collaborative approaches. Large carnivores are ambassador species, and as such they can aid the protection of a wide range of species, including evolutionarily distinct and threatened ones, while being popular for conservation marketing. However, conflicts between carnivores and people present a considerable challenge to biodiversity conservation
Detta examensarbete knyter an till min utbildningsbakgrund, eftersom området som undersökts relaterar till erfarenheter från åren jag studerade klassiskt piano vid Birmingham Conservatoires (B.C.) musikerutbildning. Sedan studietiden i England, upplever jag att när musikstuderande befinner sig i ett främmande land, får de nya perspektiv på varifrån de kommer och börjar ifrågasätta, jämföra och refTitle: The thing with music reading This thesis relates to my educational background, why the studied area connects to experiences from when I studied classical piano performance at Birmingham Conservatoire. Since my time in England, I believe that when music students are situated in a foreign country, they will gain a new perspective on their origin and therefore, start to question, compare and r
Popular Abstract in Swedish The problem of fluid-structure interaction, occurring in many industrial and engineering applications, are of great importance, since interaction of a flow and a structure in it can lead to serious damages of the structure. The fluid-structure interaction gives rise to a variety of different physical phenomena such as flow-induced vibration, noise generation, etc. As anThe problem of fluid-structure interaction, occurring in many industrial and engineering applications, are of great importance, since interaction of a flow and a structure in it can lead to serious damages of the structure.

Grassroots innovations are seen as important contributors to sustainability transitions, however, given their dependence on place-specific conditions they face diffusion challenges. Responding to previously outlined gaps regarding conceptualisation and exploration of the spatiality of grassroots innovations, this paper introduces a conceptualisation of nomadic grassroots innovations. These are gra
Background: Fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) is the preferred first-line diagnostic tool for evaluating lymphadenopathy due to its minimally invasive nature and cost-effectiveness. However, cytopathological interpretation of lymph node FNAB remains challenging because of the wide morphological spectrum of lymphoid lesions. The World Health Organization (WHO) Reporting System for Lymph Nodes, S
In this paper, a set of indicators is presented that aim to identify promising service innovations for Accessibility as a Service (AaaS) and Mobility as a Service (MaaS); services that potentially can reduce the demand for transport and optimize use of transport infrastructure and vehicles in urban regions. The proposed indicators characterize service innovations from three different perspectives:
INTRODUCTION: Using Swedish nationwide registry data, we investigated the contribution of genetic and environmental risk factors to the etiology of smoking status across stages of pregnancy with increasing degrees of social and psychological pressure to reduce or quit smoking, by twin and sibling modeling. AIMS AND METHODS: Smoking status was available before, and during early and late pregnancy f
Purpose: To analyze risk factors for refractive error after cataract surgery and provide a benchmark for refractive outcomes after standard cataract surgery. setting: One hundred cataract surgery clinics from 12 European countries. Design: Multicenter database study. Methods: Data on consecutive cataract extractions reported to the European Registry of Quality Outcomes for Cataract and Refractive
Family caregivers are believed to be the primary source of support for HIV-affected children. There is limited evidence about practices of support for caregivers, to strengthen them and to enhance the welfare of HIV positive children, especially in African settings. Our aim was therefore to illuminate caregivers’ lived experiences of caring for a child in Ethiopia 2 years after the child was enrol
Many African countries face escalating challenges of increasing disaster risk and anticipated impacts of climate change. Although disaster risk reduction (DRR) and climate change adaptation (CCA) are tightly linked and comprising virtually identical practices in vulnerable countries in Southern Africa, research has identified parallel governance structures across the region. This study applied com
Each year around 3.9 million girls around the world are victims to female genital mutilation/cutting. This custom is often a consequence of traditional, social and cultural norms within a society. In Sweden, female genital mutilation/cutting is illegal and punishable by law, and professionals have obligations to report if there is suspicion that a girl either is, or is at risk of being genitally m
I takt med förändringar i klimatet ställs högre krav på hur motståndskraftiga våra städer behöver vara, i en framtid med fler extrema väderhändelser. Vi bor allt tätare och i alltmer komplicerade städer, där flertalet samhällsfunktioner behöver fungera samtidigt. En del i arbetet är att skapa vattenhanteringssystem som klarar av plötsliga stora mängder nederbörd och kan skydda stadens invånare frå
Estimating the distance between a sound source and receiver is an important problem. This thesis explores the possibility of estimating distance from a sound source using the attenuations regarding different frequencies over a distance. This method can be useful in cases where currently existing distance approxima- tion methods are not an option. We aimed to use an image recognition convolu- tiona
Catechist schools in the south of Lappland, a tool for mission or a tool for education? This essay primarily examines the archival material of the organization Svenska Missionssällskapet. This is done with the intent to analyze how the Sami people are portrayed and described in the synchronic context that consists of the period between 1835-1840. The second purpose of this primary analysis is to
In Sweden the most common reason for sick leave is stress and fatigue. Due to mental illness the number of sick leaves increase. The aim of this qualitative study was to gain an understanding of how horticultural therapy/naturalized rehabilitation as a rehabilitation method can achieve a broader sense of coherence for individuals who suffer from mental illness. In the data collection, semi-structu
