Based on previous research regarding employment among individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and the clinical description of ASD, this study focused on ten work environment factors: emotional demands, variation of work, predictability, role clarity, leadership, social support from colleagues and supervisor, social community, inclusivity, and using strengths. These work environment factors

Riskfaktorer för Parkinsons sjukdom Parkinsons sjukdom är en kronisk, progressiv neurologisk sjukdom som drabbar över 1 % av personer över 65 år. Vid sjukdomen dör nervceller i hjärnan som producerar signalsubstansen dopamin. Dopamin behövs för att skicka signaler mellan hjärncellerna. På grund av bristen på dopamin får hjärnan svårare att kontrollera och styra nervsignaler som bland annat styr kBackground: Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease, affecting over 1% of individuals over the age of 60 years. Approximately 90% of the PD cases are idiopathic, where the etiology is multifactorial and caused by gene-environment interactions. Exposure to various environmental factors have seen to be strongly associated with an increased or decreased PD risk. We aimed t

Det har länge pågått diskussioner om hur Visingsögruppen blev avsatt. Målet med den här studien är att få mer insikt i sedimentens litologiska sammansättning, provenans och genom att sätta upp ett sekvensstratigrafiskt ramverk kunna definiera depositionsprocesser. Studien fokuserade på sediment som tillhör den Mellersta formationen i Visingsögruppen, belägna vid Näs, Visingsö, Sverige. Metoderna sThe depositional setting of the Neoproterozoic Visingsö Group has long been a subject of discussion. This study aims to provide additional insights into the lithological composition and provenance of the sediments and to provide a sequence stratigraphic framework in order to define the depositional setting. It focuses on rocks belonging to the Middle Formation of the Visingsö Group located at the

Invasive alien species are organisms that have been introduced to an area outside their natural distribution range and threatens animals, habitats or humans in the new area. The raccoon (Procyon lotor) is a mesopredator originating from North and Central America that has been introduced in Europe and Asia. Since the first European introductions of raccoons in Germany, natural dispersal and pet tra

Att utvärdera jordens hållfasthet inför byggande av hus, vägar och broar är en mycket viktig uppgift. I Skåne består jorden till stora delar av lermorän, vilket är en jord som innehåller mycket lera, men också sand, grus och sten i olika storlekar. Denna typ av jord försvårar många gånger arbetet med att utvärdera markens egenskaper. Dock har nya metoder testats internationellt, i ett första steg The undrained shear strength of cohesive soils is an important parameter to assess in geotechnical investigations. It is normally evaluated with the cone penetration test (CPT) but problems with penetrating coarse, heterogeneous materials that is also hard, such as clay till, have pointed the interest towards other possible in-situ methods. This has led to studies assessing the possibility to eval

Tourism is an important income for regions, where souvenirs play an important part. As we are heading into a more creatively oriented tourism, visitors are encouraged to participate rather than merely observe. The current supply of static objects symbolized by the host region, do not necessarily fulfill the underlying purpose of a souvenir; helping you remember a special moment in your life. Memo

The concept of a smart-sustainable city (SSC) has recently come to dominate urban sustainability political agendas and academic discourses in Europe. This thesis investigates (1) the origination of the SSC concept, (2) how it is being framed as an approach to sustainable urban development, and (3) how it can be contextualized in concrete projects and urban planning initiatives in the city of Malmö

Idag lever ca hälften av världens befolkning i städerna. Detta beräknas öka till ca 60%, närmare 6 miljarder människor till 2030 och en stor fråga som kommer med detta är vart skall alla bo? Jo, det byggs såklart nya bostäder hela tiden för den ökade befolkningen men nästa fråga blir då, vart ska man bygga alla dessa bostäder? Ska de byggas i utkanten av städerna vilket gör att de spiller över på Around half of the world population live within urban areas and is expected increase to encompass 60% by 2030. As the human population increases, cities are forced to densify or expand onto surrounding land, leaving less space for communal green space that supply the urban residents with vital ecosystem services. A resource of green space that thus far hasn’t been explored is private domestic gard
