The aim of this study was to explore older patients' experiences of participation in the prescription process of mobility devices. The study was conducted in two Swedish municipalities and was a qualitative study, based on the focus group interview methodology of Merton et al (1990). In order to recruit a sample fulfilling both homogeneity and heterogeneity criteria, occupational therapists and p

In electromyographic (EMG) and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) studies, muscle and brain activity was compared during low levels of tooth clenching using a novel biting device to control bite force. A total of 21 healthy subjects performed motor tasks, comprising tooth clenching at 5, 10 and 20N. During all measurements, subjects kept the novel bite device between the anterior teeth d

Background: Food consumption is one of the most important drivers of environmental pressures. Adoption of healthy diets is suggested to be an option for less environmentally intensive food habits and improved public health. In particular, changes in meat consumption are believed to bring potential benefits. Objective: To quantify the impact of changes in meat consumption on the dietary contributio

Techniques for interfacing the nervous system using chronically implanted electrodes are turning into invaluable tools for neurophysiological research and treatment of neurological disorders. These methods have been developed and refined over the last decades. However, they still suffer from deteriorating electrical capabilities and the fact that they inevitably damage the tissue into which they a

In the last couple of years, an increase of electric bicycle users has been shown in Sweden, a trend that is assumed to continue. With an electric bicycle, the ability to reach a higher speed, and with greater acceleration, enhances compared to a traditional bike. For the surrounding road users, these factors makes it difficult to determine speed and risks which can lead to an increasing uncertain

The aim of this study is to explore and understand how feminism or something that resembles feminism could be portrayed visually and verbally. In order to shed light on this question, an advertising image by the clothing company Monki promulgated in 2016, is analyzed through a set of different theories, and compared to an art piece by the conceptual artist Barbara Kruger. The study demonstrates, w

The purpose of the study was to provide a foundation to understand the potential implications of performing digital acquisitions and its effects on digital capabilities for traditionally non-digital businesses. A two-way, time and entity, fixed regression model was adopted to investigate this relationship in the electric utility industry, between the years 2010-2021. The theoretical framework of

The purpose of this thesis is to contribute to the discussion on the relation between memory and security in how Holocaust remembrance discourse affect the construction of security in Israel. By utilizing Norman Fairclough’s method of textual and discursive practice it analyzes speeches held by Israeli heads of state at the opening ceremony of Holocaust Remembrance Day between the years 2014-2021.

Non-human animals are often excluded from contemporary political theories, much to their detriment in terms of welfare and protection. The ‘political turn’ is a subset of animal ethicists concerned with moving beyond motivating moral status and instead discussing the politics of a shared human-animal society. This thesis evaluates Philip Pettit’s neo-republicanism as a theoretical framework for a

Title: Development of a Forecasting Model for Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) Components. A Design Science Study at Tetra Pak. Authors: Faruk Kodzaga & Giacomo Daniele Supervisor: Jan Olhager, Department of Industrial Management and Logistics Background: The importance of accurate demand forecast is set due to the drivers of short lead-times, just-in-time-deliveries and cost effective

According to the ECJ, the assessment of the likelihood of confusion between two trade marks requires a consideration of numerous elements and, in particular: the degree of similarity between the trade marks and between the goods or services identified&semic the recognition of the trade mark on the market&semic the association which can be made with the used or registered sign. Moreover, it

Watershed projects are one example of a decentralization trend, where the entire community is supposed to be involved in planning and implementation. Watershed projects are often considered a success for the environment treated, and often lead to an increased income for those living in the watershed areas. The specific aim of this thesis is to study the potential gender-specific direct and indirec

A lot of research has shown varied contributors to Swedish parents' leave-sharing choices, including income, profession, and gender norms. However, there is an absence of studying the contributors as connected and interacting aspects. In this sense, this research aims to identify the dynamics of parents' choices on leave-sharing and gender equality. Specifically, the research explores what

Abstract Inbreeding (selfing) was investigated already by Charles Darwin, who wanted to understand why outcrossing (non-selfing) is the predominant mating choice in the kingdom of plants. He found that inbreeding often results in less viable and fertile plants compared to outcrossing, what is known as inbreeding depression, and can be explained with increased homozygosity in the inbred, making the

Antennas & WavesIn a wireless system, the antenna is the interface between the electric circuit and waves propagating in the surrounding medium. From a system point of view, the antenna operates under several fundamental constraints in terms of available bandwidth, gain etc versus, for instance, the available volume or complexity in the matching network. Waves propagating and interacting with a co
