Background and aim - The development of clinical manifectations due to an eroded or ruptured atherosclerotic plaque, or occluded vessel, are one of the major causes of death world wide. It has been known for some time that atherosclerosis develops due to retention and modification of LDL particles in the vessel wall and the subsequent triggering of the immune system. The research presented within
Earlier studies have shown that while free-viewing images people tend to gaze at regions with a high local density of bottom up features such as contrast and edge density. In particular, this tendency seems to be more emphasized during the first few fixations after image onset. In this paper, we present a new method to investigate how gaze locations are chosen by introducing varying image resoluti
OBJECTIVE: To identify predictors of sick leave and disability pension in patients with early rheumatoid arthritis (RA). METHODS: Individuals aged 19-59 years diagnosed with early RA (≤12 months symptom duration) were identified in the Swedish Rheumatology Quality Register (1999-2007; n=3029). We retrieved days of sick leave and disability pension from the Swedish Social Insurance Agency and basel
Abstract in UndeterminedThe success of the Wii and of the iPhone together with the persisting problem of displaying information on the small screens of mobile devices is currently pushing the development of non-visual interaction channels such as gestures, tactile/haptic interaction and sound. This development presents both potential and risk, since new channels of interaction may result either in
The conclusions in this paper are drawn from the results of four empirical studies. It has been important to take an empirical approach in the investigation, concerned with internationalization of higher education, since even though plentiful of studies over the last decades have been concerned with internationalization in/of higher education, it has not been from the perspectives from the teacher
Growing number of ISO 14001 certifications worldwide creates new possibilities for organizations to benefits from the global recognition of the standard. One of them is unequivocally the use of ISO14001 certificate as one of conditions for supply chain cooperation. Such situation pulls many enterprises into implementation of the systems for the bare reason of fulfilling the requirement, abreast to
The Swedish pulp and paper industry (PPI) accounts for almost 50 percent of industrial final energy use. It is an energy-intensive industry and process optimization is seen as prerequisite to compete on the global market. This alone should motivate company boards and on-site organisations to put energy management high on the agenda. Definitely, from time to time, energy issues (e.g. fuel shifts, s
Governments increasingly rely on the use of market instruments to tackle climate change and help decarbonize a deeply fossil fuel-dependent economy. This dissertation examines this trend as one instance of the ‘commodification of carbon’, or the process through which emission reductions are made into commodities and then traded on the market. It engages the commodification framework and related th
Adaptability of facades is often conceived as a performative objective, and less as a formal objective. Hence, so-called ‘adaptive’ façade systems are highly engineered solutions that autonomously control the energy flow via highly-efficient materials, integrated technical devices and intelligent automation systems. As the design complexity and operation challenges of such façade systems are subst
Many injection drug users are infected with hepatitis C virus (HCV), yet few are treated. With opiate maintenance treatment, expected life length increases, and the incitement increases to treat HCV in order to avoid long term complications. The aim of the present study was to investigate attitudes towards HCV and HCV treatment willingness among opiate-dependent injection drug users at Malmö needl
We compare terminology used in the literature on multigrid methods for compressible computational fluid dynamics to that used in linear multigrid theory. Several popular iterative and direct smoothers are presented side-by-side using the same terminology. We argue for greater analysis of these methods in order to place them into a more rigorous framework and to identify the most promising candidat
This thesis seeks to understand the narrative presented by Mette Frederiksen in an interview published in Jyllands-Posten on October 16, 2019 bearing the header The EU-cooperation is disconnected from the world, we are a part of through interpretations from relevant experts. In order to extract what can be learned about the Danish future relation to the EU, the thesis examines how four Members of
Denna uppsats har som syfte att undersöka hur lärare kan utforma en normkritisk litteraturundervisning i ämnet svenska på gymnasiet. Undersökningen utgår från Ninni Holmqvists novell ”Kostym” för att analysera lärares arbete med värdegrunds- och queerfrågor i litteraturundervisningen. Teorier om litteraturdidaktik, normkritisk pedagogik och queerteori samt intervjuer med svensklärare och novellen The purpose of this essay is to investigate how teachers can provide a norm-critical literature education in upper secondary school. Four teachers using the short story “Kostym” by Ninni Holmqvist were interviewed to evaluate how they incorporate the Swedish school’s fundamental values in their teachings of literature. A theoretical basis of literature education, norm-critical pedagogic and queer
The overall purpose of the present thesis is to explore how participatory development architecture and the good governance principles of cooperation and consensus have depoliticised disability as an issue and have re-shaped the discourses and actions of organisations of and for disabled people in Georgia. Through the lens of the theory of post- politics, the research analyses the application of go
Purpose: The aim of this dissertation is to explore mobility in a proximity tourism context. Mobilities are being widely discussed in connection to society, everyday life, and tourism as a whole. Thus, it focuses on the staycation phenomenon as a case of proximity tourism. In particular on its representations in the digital media and as a local travel practice in Sweden. Considering that tourism i
Sverige är idag ett av världens säkraste länder att leva i som HBTQ-person. Vårt lands samtida situation har dessvärre inte alltid varit en självklarhet. Vägen till dagens trygghet har varit lång; en väg fylld med förföljelser, diskriminering, hat och förnedring. Homosexualitet blev för första gången i svensk lagstiftning uttryckligen kriminaliserat i 1864 års strafflag. Diskriminering och särbehaSweden is by today’s standards one of the safest countries to live in as a LGBTQ-person. The contemporary situation of our country has however, unfortunately, not always been a given. The route towards the safety of today has been long; a road/rout full of persecution, discrimination, hatred and degrading. Homosexuality was for the first time in Swedish law criminalized in 1864. Discriminations to
