An important factor in pupils’ learning is the teacher’s qualities of being responsive, permissive and structured, and to see, understand and appropriately respond to the pupils’ feelings. This study examined the relation between teacher emotional intelligence, defined as “the ability to use emotions to facilitate thought, perceive, understand and manage one’s own and others emotions”, teacher wor

C2C online platforms contribute to the redistribution of goods and services in the economy, attributing value to resources otherwise wasted and fostering cooperation behaviours among consumers. However, the sustainable development of C2C markets is related to the users’ motivations of participation. This study investigates what are the socio-demographic and economic characteristics of individuals

Studiens fokus är på skogsbränderna i Sverige år 2018, då tio gånger mer markyta påverkades av bränder än genomsnittet under föregående år. Syftet med studien är att undersöka en bred forskningsfråga: har vägar en påverkan på storleken hos den brända ytan i en löpeld? Studien bygger på tidigare forskning om hur spridningen av löpeld påverkas av vägar. Bland olika statistiska metoder valdes slutligThis study focuses on the Swedish wildfire season of 2018, when the country incurred ten times more than the average burnt area that occurred in previous years. The study aims to address a broad research question: Do roads influence the size of the burned area? This study fills the gap in research on the effects of roads in the spatial patterns of wildfires. Moreover, the research hopes to include

Machine calibration is important for optimal performance throughout the lifespan of industrial processes. A prime example is the pick-and-place process, where robots must manipulate objects accurately. Currently, this process is manually calibrated, which can be a complex practice. This thesis studies a software-based approach to error detection within the process, aiming to reduce the need for ma

The hepatokine follistatin is elevated in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and promotes hyperglycemia in mice. Here we explore the relationship of plasma follistatin levels with incident T2D and mechanisms involved. Adjusted hazard ratio (HR) per standard deviation (SD) increase in follistatin levels for T2D is 1.24 (CI: 1.04-1.47, p < 0.05) during 19-year follow-up (n = 4060, Sweden); and 1.31

Background: Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is a major complication of preterm birth and has been associated with later visual and nonvisual impairments. Objectives: To evaluate relationships between any stage of ROP, brain volumes, and developmental outcomes. Methods: This study included 52 very preterm infants (gestational age [mean ± SD]: 26.4 ± 1.9 weeks). Total brain, gray matter, unmyelinat

Intracardiac hemodynamic forces have been proposed to influence remodeling and be a marker of ventricular dysfunction. We aimed to quantify the hemodynamic forces in repaired tetralogy of Fallot (rToF) patients to further understand the pathophysiological mechanisms as this could be a potential marker for pulmonary valve replacement (PVR) in these patients. Patients with rToF and PR>20% (n=18) and

In recent decades, better data and methods have become available for understanding the complex functioning of cities and their impacts on sustainability. This review synthesizes the recent developments in concepts and methods being used to measure the impacts of cities on environmental sustainability. It differentiates between a dominant trend in research literature that concentrates on the accoun

In addition to their natural substrates GDP and GTP, the bacterial translational GTPases initiation factor (IF) 2 and elongation factor G (EF-G) interact with the alarmone molecule guanosine tetraphosphate (ppGpp), which leads to GTPase inhibition. We have used isothermal titration calorimetry to determine the affinities of ppGpp for IF2 and EF-G at a temperature interval of 5-25 °C. We find that

Introduction: Conventional packaging extends cucumber’s shelf life while reducing food waste, however concerns regarding micro(nano) plastics (MNPs) contamination remain. At the same time, edible food coatings are increasingly gaining attention as a promising more sustainable alternative. Background: Despite the preservation advantages of low-density polyethylene (LDPE)packaging, its breakdown

Fingerprint recognition has become a popular authentication method in modern smartphones, replacing traditional passwords and PINs. However, smartphone fingerprint sensors are small and capture only partial fingerprints with limited resolution. Combined with varying image quality and inconsistent finger placement, multiple images must be stored per user to ensure reliable authentication. During ve
