Perceived Psychosocial Work Environment and Support among Employed Adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder: A Cross-sectional Survey Study in Sweden

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

Multipark’s biobank sample collection: A Swedish case-control study on Parkinson’s disease

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

The Neoproterozoic Visingsö Group of southern Sweden : lithology, sequence stratigraphy and provenance of the Middle Formation

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

Another type of souvenir - A project about souvenirs and Swedish folk art

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 Origin and Implementation of the Smart-Sustainable City Concept: The Case of Malmö, Sweden

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

Owners perception of urban domestic gardens - A study of CES in Lund, Sweden

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

Stopover ecology of the European nightjar Caprimulgus europaeus during autumn migration in south-eastern Sweden

Do European nightjars migrate via Öland in autumn? Bird migration is a common phenomenon of the natural world with at least 4,000 species of birds being regular migrants. Many of those species have to cover long distances from breeding grounds in the northern hemisphere to wintering grounds in the tropics. They often face ecological barriers e.g. deserts or oceans with no food supply. Therefore i

Thinking in probabilities: how natural frequencies facilitate understanding among Swedish medical students

Det är viktigt för blivande läkare att kunna göra korrekta riskbedömningar utifrån patienters testresultat. Tidigare forskning indikerar att den förmågan kan vara bristfällig, men att den går att förbättra genom ett nytt format att presentera statistik på. Det nya formatet kallas naturliga antal och är potentiellt användbart inom undervisning i medicinsk statistik. Den här studien är den första i The ability to draw diagnostic inferences from medical test results is important for future doctors. Earlier research has indicated that this ability may generally be inadequate. However, it can be improved by presenting statistics in a new format, so called natural frequencies, which is adapted to the way the human mind process probabilities. If the effect of this format is robust and generalizab

Estimating the Distribution of Food Sources for Pollinators in Vegetation Communities of Sand-Dune Systems in Southern Sweden

Nectar Sources in Sand Dunes – the Pollinators’ Last Stronghold Dunes are a habitat of special importance. They preserve a wide range of flowering plant species that has vanished from most places in our intensively used landscape. This is vital for both the survival of the plant species themselves, but also of many insect pollinator species. Pollinators depend on the presence of nectar and pollen

Ethics and Waiting Times: Incorporating theories of justice in an analysis of waiting times in Sweden

Väntetiders förmåga att ge upphov till rättvisare fördelning av vårdjänster är vida diskuterat. Denna uppsats analyserar väntetider genom tre rättviseteorier: Utilitarianism, egalitarianism och maximin. Uppsatsen visar att analys av väntetider förbättras genom en mer uttryclig rättvisedimension. Principerna kopplas sedan till faktiska väntetider i Sverige 2011-2017. Trots en del brister i den kvanObjectives: There is growing concern regarding waiting times in health care as a mechanism to improve fairness in health services. This essay addresses the issue by evaluating fairness defined by justice theories. Based on this discussion, the essay then investigates whether actual waiting times are consistent with ethical principles. Theory: The theories of justice discussed are utilitarianism, e

Watershed delineation for runoff estimations to culverts in the Swedish road network : a comparison between two GIS based hydrological modelling methods and a manually delineated watershed

Till följd av de förväntade klimatförändringarna beräknas nederbördsmönstren i Sverige att förändras. Episoder av intensiv och kortvarig nederbörd förväntas öka på flertal ställen i landet, samt att utsträckningen av långvarig nederbörd, som kan pågå under flera dagar, även den, förväntas att öka. Det svenska vägnätet stöter redan idag på problem att möta de förändrade nederbördsmängderna, då vägs

Return Policy Signaling: An Explorative Study of Swedish E-tailers’

Purpose: Return policies are an important component for consumers when making a decision to transact with an E-tailer, as such it is equally important for E-tailers’ that the returns policy aids in this decision by reducing information asymmetry. While lenient return policies have the ability to influence the customer positively, they are also subject to opportunistic behavior from consumers, as
