The purpose of this Master's thesis is to study how children's and youth librarians mediate non-fiction books in public libraries. Our overarching research question is as follows: to which extent, how, and for what reasons do children's and youth librarians mediate non-fiction? We have chosen to limit our study to the practice of booktalking. In order to answer questions on extent we

Through its new road safety program the Aleksinac municipality wants to achieve a higher degree of safety in the city than today. These include a safer environment for vulnerable road users. For many years the municipality has neglected pedestrians, consciously or unconsciously, by not investing enough resources and money to improve their situation in traffic. The municipality now wants to correct

Many modern buildings with glass facade have been built in recent years. The idea is often to create a transparent building with an impression of future and development. Glass facades are often being used in office buildings, where workers spend most of their hours of daylight. Because of this, thermal and visual comfort are very important in order to provide a pleasant indoor climate. When the po

Objective: To investigate if Cochrane reviews that assess screening interventions address their major harms. Study design and setting: A systematic search for Cochrane reviews that assess screening interventions was performed. Two authors independently screened abstracts, assessed full-texts, and extracted data from included reviews. For each review, two authors judged whether each predefined harm

As climate models can be used to reproduce historical climates, the outcomes can be used to put climate extremes in to a proper historical perspective. This also allows investigation of nonlinear properties of hydrologic processes (e.g. precipitation, runoff) to better understand regional hydrologic dynamics. To this end, the present study uses results from a so-called 'paleosimulation' (i.e. simu

Perfusion eller genomblödning är termer som används för att beskriva blodflödet i kroppens allra minsta kärl. Information om perfusion kan vara av stor betydelse för att ställa diagnos vid vissa sjukdomar, eftersom blodet transporterar det syre och den näring som behövs för att upprättahålla vävnadens funktion i kroppen. Ett viktigt exempel där information om perfusion kan vara till nytta för att Exchange of oxygen and nutrients between blood and tissue occurs at the capillary level of the blood system. The blood volume flow rate in the capillaries is often referred to as perfusion, and knowledge about perfusion provides important information about the function and viability of the tissue, for example, in patients with ischaemic stroke, cancer, and neurodegenerative diseases.Dynamic suscep

Carotid surgery prevents recurrent stroke in patients with symptomatic tight stenosis of the carotid artery. The Swedish Carotid Surgery Monitoring Registry seeks to promote selection of patients with significant spontaneous risk for recurrent stroke, with an eye toward expediting evaluation and minimizing surgical complications. To this end, professionals at participating hospitals are informed a

Popular Abstract in Swedish Undertrycksbehandling av sår (negative pressure wound therapy, NPWT) har förekommit under lång tid i olika utföranden. Sedan slutet av 1990-talet har användningen av tekniken ökat kraftigt inom flera kliniska discipliner eftersom effekten på sårläkning visat sig vara mycket god för många olika sårtyper. Trots omfattande forskning saknas det fortfarande kunskaper om hur Negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) promotes wound healing through several mechanisms, e.g., altered periwound blood flow, mechanical deformation of the wound edge tissue, and drainage of excess fluid and debris. The general aim of this thesis was to study the impact of different levels of negative pressure, different wound filling materials (foam or gauze), and different ways of applying the n

The full transient dielectric-function (DF) tensor of ZnO after UV-laser excitation in the spectral range 1.4-3.6 eV is obtained by measuring an m-plane-oriented ZnO thin film with femtosecond (fs)-time-resolved spectroscopic ellipsometry. From the merits of the method, we can distinguish between changes in the real and the imaginary part of the DF as well as changes in birefringence and dichroism

The production of non-prompt D0 mesons from beauty-hadron decays was measured at midrapidity (|y| < 0.5) in Pb-Pb collisions at a nucleon-nucleon center-of-mass energy of sNN = 5.02 TeV with the ALICE experiment at the LHC. Their nuclear modification factor (RAA), measured for the first time down to pT = 1 GeV/c in the 0–10% and 30–50% centrality classes, indicates a significant suppression, up to

An electron transfer mediator, 8-dimethylamino-2,3-benzophenoxazine (Meldola Blue), dissolved in the carrier solution in a flow-injection system, was found to reduce the oxidation potential for hydrogen peroxide from 600-1200 mV without mediator to - 100 mV vs. Ag/AgCl with the mediator present. The very low background current of reticulated vitreous carbon (RVC) at this potential makes it possibl

Avocado crop in Tanzania is sparingly investigated regardless of being an important fruit commodity. This study was undertaken to explore the yield and the value chain of this crop in the country. Data were collected mainly by face-to-face interviews with 275 avocado farmers, 231 avocado traders and 16 key informants. Descriptive statistics, Chi-square test and one-way analysis of variance were us

Research on inclusive place branding has primarily focused on residents, while tourists are yet to be addressed, except in representation studies. Inclusion is, however, more than a matter of representation. It must also consider the needs of the tourists. This study explores people with foreign backgrounds' anticipated constraints to domestic tourism. This article advances knowledge of inclusive

Varje år dör runt 40 till 60 arbetare på svenska arbetsplatser. För att sätta det i kontext kan nämnas att 43 människor miste livet i dödligt skjutvapenvåld år 2018. Arbetsplatsolyckor inträffar trots att det inte sällan finns tydliga varningssignaler och möjligheter till säkerhetsåtgärder, varför ett flertal sannolikt hade kunnat förhindras. Detta arbete undersöker arbetsmiljöbrott genom en rättsEach year around 40 to 60 workers die at Swedish worksites. In a wider context, it can be mentioned that 43 people lost their lives due to lethal use of firearms in 2018. Workplace fatalities occur even though there are often clear warning signs and possibilities of safety measures, which is why a great number of workplace fatalities likely could have been prevented. This thesis examines workplace

Denna studie har undersökt hur hög- och lågavlönade skiljer sig i personlighet och intelligens. Studien har besvarat frågeställningen “Vad finns det för samband mellan specifika personlighetsdrag, intelligens och hur ekonomiskt framgångsrik någon blir?”. Undersökningen utgjordes av en kvantitativ metod med enkäter som grund för datainsamlingen. Enkäten inkluderade ett IPIP-NEO-30 personlighetstestThe aim of this study was to examine how high paid and low paid individuals differ when it comes to personality and intelligence. The study has answered the following research question; “What is the relationship between specific personality traits, intelligence and how financially successful someone becomes?”. The study consisted of a quantitative method with questionnaires as the basis for the da

Background: Antibiotics provide only modest benefit in treating sore throat, although their effectiveness increases in people with positive throat swabs for group A beta-haemolytic streptococci (GABHS). It is unclear which antibiotic is the best choice if antibiotics are indicated. This is an update of a review first published in 2010, and updated in 2013, 2016, and 2021. Objectives: To assess the
