With an increasing population, a growing middle class and increased resource use, our current ways of living and doing business are unsustainable. Next to the implementation of innovative technology, sustainable development based on innovative business models, better understating of customer needs and behavioural change are crucial. This research aims at combining principles from both sustainable

Aims: This study aimed to examine the population-based Skåne Health-care Register (SHR) regarding feasibility for scientific research and also strengths and weaknesses. Methods: To analyse the feasibility of the SHR, we performed a bibliographic search for peer-reviewed articles based on SHR data from 2000 to 2018. To analyse strengths and weaknesses, we used original SHR data about coverage and v

Background: Although reproductive history is recognised to affect the risk of breast cancer, current breast cancer screening guidelines do not consider risk differences by this important factor. As there is a need for an earlier screening in women at increased risk of breast cancer, we provided evidence-based risk-adapted starting age of screening based on different reproductive profiles. Material

Our purpose is to critically discuss the quality of governability and scrutiny of, as well as insight in, enterprises owned by local government. Our analysis is empirically grounded in an in-depth case study of one of Sweden’s 10 largest municipalities. The ambition is to highlight troublesome areas and danger zones when it comes to public owning of corporations. We have consulted diverse types of

Nest predation is a major factor affecting fitness in birds. Individuals are expected to respond to nest predation by selecting safe nesting sites and by moving away from risky sites. Thereby, perceived risk or experience of predation should lead to shifts in nest site selection. Experimental studies on behavioural and life-history consequences of nest predation have traditionally manipulated the

The aims of the present study are formulated to test theoretical assumptions of the incivility spiral presented by Andersson and Pearson (1999). The first aim is to investigate possible longitudinal outcomes of witnessed workplace incivility, in the form of instigated incivility and well-being. An additional aim is to explore whether witnessed workplace incivility is indirectly related to instigat

Introduction: Depression and anxiety disorders affect individuals' everyday lives, and treatments that can help them to perform everyday occupations are needed. Occupational therapy for this group has been evaluated from a short-term perspective but not from a long-term perspective; further research is thus warranted. The aim of the study was to investigate the longitudinal outcomes of the Tree Th

High-order harmonic generation is a highly nonlinear, though inherently inefficient, process which can lead to emission of coherent, broadband extreme ultraviolet radiation in the form of attosecond pulses. Attosecond pulses are crucial for experiments investigating photoionization dynamics on the femto- and attosecond timescales. As attosecond research tends towards increasingly complex light-mat

This article discusses why films have not been used more than they have as historical sources and argues that films ought to be used more by historians. Principally, historians can use film in three basic ways, all of which give access to information about the period when it was produced. First, films can with caution be used for information about the persons, objects and events depicted in docum

Popular Abstract in Swedish Denna avhandling undersöker hur vi använder visuell kontextinformation i samtal. Alla modeller över språkprocessning och kommunikation är ense om att visuell kontextinformation har en positiv nettoeffekt på förståelse och kommunikation. Trots detta är det inte klart genom vilka mekanismer denna kontextinformation verkar, eller om dessa mekanismer fungerar i situationer This dissertation is about the role of visual context information in communication. All accounts of language processing and communication agree that visual context is beneficial for understanding. Despite this, it is not clear through which mechanisms visual context works and whether these mechanisms also work in communication outside the lab setting. This dissertation aims to provide answers to t

Aims and objectivesTo explore how nurses and managers perceive that evidence‐based sources are obtained to inform relevant nursing interventions.BackgroundImplementation of evidence‐based practice requires a systematic search and evaluation of research, clinical expertise and consideration of the patients’ preferences and values. Much has been written over the past decade about how this should be

Background. Proton therapy of lung cancer holds the potential for a reduction of the volume of irradiated normal lung tissue. In this work we investigate the robustness of intensity modulated proton therapy (IMPT) plans to motion, and evaluate a geometrical tumour tracking method to compensate for tumour motion. Material and methods. Seven patients with a nine targets with 4DCT scans were selected

This dissertation is a contribution to the ‘cultural turn’ in the multidisciplinary field of surveillance studies. Its objective is to advance knowledge about how surveillance is perceived as bodily, emotional, and multisensory experiences - explored and conceptualized here as ‘atmospheres of surveillance’. The overarching argument is that surveillance contains and co-produces atmospheres. The stu

Popular Abstract in Swedish Utforskar äldre och funktionshindrades behov av planeringsinformation i kollektivtrafiken och diskuterar huruvida information kan bidra till tillgängligheten. En omfattande enkätundersökning genomfördes för att validera tidigare genomförda fokusgruppsintervjuer om äldre och funktionshindrades informationsbehov. Resultaten visar att det finns ett behov av information bla

Idrotten har länge värnat om sin självständighet och självbestämmanderätt vad gäller att lösa interna tvister. Svensk Travsport är inget undantag och tillämpar genom sina tre domstolar en form av privat tvistlösning. Att idrotten själva löser sina egna tvister har också varit vida accepterat av rättsväsenet. Tidigare praxis från Högsta domstolen pekar på att en materiell prövning av en idrottslig Sports have a history of protecting their independence and self-determination when it comes to resolving internal disputes. The Swedish Trotting Association is no exception and applies, through its three courts, a form of private dispute resolution. The fact that sports resolve their own disputes has also been widely accepted by the national legal system. Caselaw from the Swedish Supreme Court ind

Jag har i detta arbete tagit fram en metod för att mäta mängden fett i muskelceller som vare sig kräver vävnadsprover eller nålstick. Metoden ger också en bild av fettfördelningen i vävnaden. Detta kan vara mycket användbart vid utveckling av läkemedel, men också vid diabetes- och fetmaforskning. Muskelceller innehåller ett bränsleförråd i form av en droppe fett. För diabetespatienter och som en b"Introduction Cardiac steatosis, or overstorage of fat in the cardiac muscle cells, is a possible side effect from drugs treating diabetes mellitus. Therefore, a non-invasive means of fat quantification is needed during drug development. The aim of this master thesis is to develop a method to quantify the fraction intra-myocellular fat in the cardiac muscle of rats using magnetic resonance im

Vädret. Många av oss har upplevt att väderprognosen, förutspåendes ”en fin dag på stranden”, har vart gravt missvisande, resulterandes med hagel innanför t-shirten och ett moloket humör som efterspel. Kanske även en illasinnad tanke till meteorologerna, som inte förutspådde den brutala stormen som dundrade in… Men, tänk om alla människor som har himlen i sitt blickfång kunde göra omedelbara mätnNetatmo is a brand of private weather stations that over the past decade, in many countries, have grown to outnumber the number of government based weather stations. In most fields of research, a high number of data points can increase accuracy and precision. For a weather forecast, the more weather condition throughout an area the forecasters know about, the better the forecast. All of Sweden is

The purpose of this study is to see what kind of support in school is linked to secondary school eligibility in primary compulsory school and parent satisfaction. The questions this study aims to answer were: (1) What type of support was reported by parents? (2) What connection can be found between the type of support and secondary school eligibility? (3) What connection can be found between the t

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Naturkatastrofer är något som Sverige är relativt förskonat från. Massrörelser, alltså markrörelser i jordtäcke eller berg såsom lerskred, slamströmmar och bergras, är däremot relativt vanligt förekommande runt om i landet. Det är dessutom så att frekvensen av den här typen av fenomen förväntas öka i Sverige till följd av framtida klimatförändringar. De områdenRecent studies indicate a widespread but largely overlooked hazard of contaminant mobilisation and transport in connection to mass movement activity into surface water systems in Sweden. Concerns are exacerbated by predicted effects of climate change, which suggest national increases in rates of precipitation, pore water pressures, run -off, erosion and mass movement occurrence. In this study, the
