While research indicates that indoor lighting, exposure to daylight, physical activity, and sleep interact to influence functioning, mood, and daily rhythm, strategies are needed to support behavioral changes among older adults who often spend more time at home after retirement. The objective was to design a web-based course to encourage behavior change related to light, activity, and sleep.

At the emergency department (ED), it is important to quickly and accurately determine which patients are likely to have a major adverse cardiac event (MACE). Machine learning (ML) models can be used to aid physicians in detecting MACE, and improving the performance of such models is an active area of research. In this study, we sought to determine if ML models can be improved by including a prior

Purpose: The aim of this study was to determine the time at which physeal arrest is achieved after percutaneous physiodesis, and whether immediate postoperative growth rate affects the time to reach physeal arrest. Methods: Radiostereometric analysis, with implantation of tantalum balls as radiographic markers on each side of the physes, was used to measure residual longitudinal growth in 21 child

Battery thermal management (BTM) plays a significant role in the safety and reliability of autonomous underwater vehicles (AUV) at higher speeds. In this study, a nanoparticle/phase change material (nano-PCM) composite is proposed for the BTM of an AUV. The effects of nanoparticle loading percentage (φ = 5, 10, and 15%) and nanoparticle filling range (α = 30, 60, 90, and 120°) on the battery tempe

A classical solution for matching two image patches is to use the cross-correlation coefficient. This works well if there is a lot of structure within the patches, but not so well if the patches are close to uniform. This means that some patches are matched with more confidence than others. By estimating this uncertainty, more weight can be put on the confident matches than those that are more unc

The focus in this paper is on how students experience their transition from their education to being employed as engineers in relation to the concept of employability. Four cohorts of students in a master’s programme in engineering were monitored annually with a ‘follow-up’ one year after graduation. Results show that there were differences in the way students talked about their curricular design,

OBJECT: The aim is to describe the development of the scientific literature on dementia. METHODS: We present a quantitative, bibliometric study of the literature on dementia, based on Medline, covering 36 years (1974-2009). Two samples of references to dementia papers were retrieved: The main sample based on the MeSH term Dementia holds more than 88 500 references. We have compared the annual

Apolipoprotein M (apoM) is a 188 amino acid, 25 kDa protein belonging to the lipocalin protein superfamily. Although predominantly associated with high density lipoprotein, apoM is found in all major lipoprotein classes. To facilitate clinical studies of apoM, we have developed a sandwich ELISA for the measurement of apoM in human plasma. This method has been used to investigate normal apoM variat

Objective. To describe the change of pain reports over time in 3 cohorts derived from the general population: (1) no chronic pain (NCP, n = 1156); (2) chronic regional pain (CRP n = 502) and (3) chronic widespread pain (CWP; n = 242). To identify risk factors that predict the development or persistence of chronic widespread pain. Methods. A 3-year followup from 1995 to 1998 with postal questionnai

While grey infrastructure, such as sea walls, have been the traditional method of mitigating coastal hazards there has been an increasing interest in adapting using natural processes, known as Nature-based Solutions (NbS). As with most places in the world, southern Sweden is facing an increase in coastal hazards due to climate change related sea level rise. There is a need to understand the utilit

Dispositionsprincipen är en grundläggande princip i svensk processrätt. Prin-cipen innebär att rätten endast ska eller får företa en viss processhandling på yrkande av en eller båda parterna. Principen gäller i såväl domstolsprocesser som i skiljetvister. I svensk processrätt kommer dispositionsprincipen främst till uttryck i 17 kap. 3 § rättegångsbalken, vilken i första meningen föreskri-ver att The principle of party-disposition is a fundamental principle in Swedish pro-cedural law. The principle means that the court should only undertake a cer-tain procedural action upon the request of one or both parties. This principle applies to both court proceedings and arbitration disputes. In Swedish pro-cedural law, the principle of party-disposition is primarily expressed in Chapter 17, Section

2000-talet har introducerat nya sätt att bedriva e-handel, med plattformsekonomin som suddar ut gränserna för vilken person som tillhandahåller tjänster från ett mervärdesskatteperspektiv. Bitcoin har blivit pengar för internetåldern. Naturrättsteorin visar överlägsenheten av beslut från den opersonliga marknaden, samtidigt som man inser vikten av lagen och moralen. I både ”public choice”- teorinThe 21st century has introduced new ways of carrying on e-commerce, with the platform economy blurring the lines on the person supplying services for VAT purposes, and with Bitcoin becoming honest money for the internet age. Natural rights theory demonstrates the superiority of decisions by the impersonal market, while recognizing the importance of the law and morality. In both the theory of publ

This master thesis project has been done within the Mechanics department of Lunds Tekniska Högskola (LTH). It studies the nanometric cutting process of a single crystal copper workpiece by a cubic diamond tool using Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations on the software LAMMPS. Several simulations are computed in order to study the influence of different factors. In a first place, several tool model

Uppsatsen undersöker om brottmålsprocessens försonande funktion kan ges ett konkret uttryck inom ramen för gällande rätt, genom att beakta medling som ett billighetsskäl för vuxna lagöverträdare. Traditionellt lyfts sökandet efter den materiella sanningen, tillsammans med rättssäkerhet och brottsbekämpning, fram som kärnan i brottmålsprocessen. Enligt doktrin och SOU 2013:17 har brottmålsprocesseThis thesis examines whether the reconciliatory function of the criminal procedure can be given concrete expression within the framework of current Swedish law, by recognizing mediation as a sentence mitigating factor for adult offenders. Traditionally, the pursuit of material truth, legal certainty and crime prevention are regarded as the core purposes of the criminal procedure. According to leg
