Aerosol emission from cleaning sprays - design and evaluation of a generation and a characterization system for spray aerosols and a human pre-exposure study

Bättre lite skit i hörnen än ett sprejstädat hem? Städsprejer används av allt fler, både hemma och på arbetsplatser. Den senaste forskningen visar dock att användning av städsprejer kan leda till akuta hälsoeffekter, både i näsa och i ögon. I Sverige är städare det tionde vanligaste yrket med mer än 70 000 anställda varav mer än 75 % är kvinnor. Städpersonal är dock utsatt för flera arbetsrelat

Hiphopens betydelse för en grupp unga tjejer i förorten

Syftet med denna kandidatuppsats är att undersöka hur tjejer från ett multikulturellt område i södra Sverige blir påverkade av den musik de lyssnar på. Uppsatsen är en kvalitativ studie, där enkäter, djupintervjuer, samt analys av de låttexter tjejerna uppgav att de lyssnar på, använts. Deltagarna i studien hittades genom olika ungdomshus i det område vi valde att utföra forskningen i. Efter att h

Development of a method for studying cascading effects between critical infrastructures

Kaskadeffekter inom samhällsviktig verksamhet Det är först när man rullar in trettio minuter försenad på perrongen, som man inser hur kritiska vissa infrastrukturer är för samhället. Ibland beror de här felen på störningar från andra system, så kallade kaskadeffekter. Alla som har växt upp på landet, speciellt innan Gudruns framfart ledde till åtgärder, är plågsamt medvetna om hur jobbigt allti

Förbrukat förtroende och ekonomisk brottslighet inom bankbranschen

Bankbranschen är en bransch som präglas av förtroende. Förtroende mellan banken och dess kunder, banken och statliga institutioner, banken och dess anställda och sist men inte minst aktiemarknadens förtroende för bankens styrelse och ledning i det fall den är börsnoterad. Denna uppsats har undersökt huruvida det finns särskilda krav på banktjänstemän och ifall det finns liknande krav på förtroendeThe banking industry is one that is pervaded by trust: trust between the banks and their customers, the banks and different state departments, the banks and their employees and last, but not least, the stock markets trust for the banks executive boards and management if the bank is listed on a stock exchange. This essay has examined whether or not there are special demands on employees in the bank

Risk of Venous Thromboembolism in Patients With Rheumatoid Arthritis and Association With Disease Duration and Hospitalization

Context Recent reports suggest that rheumatoid arthritis (RA) may be a risk factor for venous thromboembolism (VTE), particularly in conjunction with hospitalization. Using hospitalization data to identify RA and VTE may identify patients when they are at elevated risk for other reasons, obscuring the incompletely understood underlying association between RA and VTE and leading to inappropriate in

Relocation and residential reasoning in very old age -Housing, health and everyday life

Introduction: Moving in very old age is considered to be a major life event and relocation and access to appropriate housing options is a hot topic in the public debate across Europe. For very old people, the decision-making process and aspects influencing relocation is not well studied. Occupational therapy interventions mainly focus on ageing-in-place solutions when aiming for independence and w

To the rhythm of shopping - on synchronisation in urban landscapes of consumption

This article deals with the impact of retail rhythms on urban life and the urban landscape, with a special focus on tendencies toward synchronisation. The article is divided into three sections. First, the history of synchronisations in public space is traced, and it is argued that the retail business has become an increasingly important actor in the production of urban temporal landscapes. Second

Molecular Etiology of Graves’ Disease and Associated Ophthalmopathy

Graves' disease (GD) is a complex autoimmune disorder characterized by hyperthyroidism and diffuse goitre. 25-50% of the patients with GD develop eye symptoms, Graves' ophthalmopathy (GO). The overall aim of this thesis was to explore the molecular etiology of GD and GO. By studying gene expression in Studies I, III, and IV, we demonstrated that adipocyte-related immediate early genes (IEGs) incl

Management of bile duct calculi : a study with special reference to long-term outcome

Open surgical versus endoscopic treatment of CBD stones in 80 elderly not cholecystectomized patients revealed a similar efficacy of stone clearance and early major complication rates, as well as total complication rates and hospitalization time in the two groups during 5 to 9 years follow-up. However, more patients in the endoscopically treated group died from heart disease, suggesting surgery to

Performance Limits in Adaptive Control

Minimum variance control of difference equations systems with time-varying stochastic parameters are studied. The optimal control law is derived under the assumption that all previous, but not the current parameter values are known. This is used to give performance limits for dual control. In particular, it is shown that too much parameter uncertainty may cause the system to be unstable in the sen

Nutrition in acute pancreatitis - influence on gut barrier and inflammatory response

Acute pancreatitis (AP) is associated with metabolic changes, acute inflammatory response and increased gut permeability. In AP, traditional treatment has been initial fasting on purpose to avoid activation of proteolytic enzymes and pancreatic enzyme secretion. However, enteral feeding has been suggested superior to fasting due to a proposed beneficial effect on the gut barrier function. The aim

Alternative techniques in trochanteric hip fracture surgery. Clinical and biomechanical studies on the Medoff sliding plate and the Twin hook.

In allowing compression along the femoral shaft (uniaxial dynamization) and optional compression along the femoral neck (biaxial dynamization), the Medoff sliding plate (MSP) represents a new principle in the fixation of trochanteric hip fractures. The Twin hook with 2 apical hooks was designed as an alternative to the lag screw. In 3 prospective consecutive case series and 1 prospective randomize

Penningtvätt - Definitionsproblem för bankerna

Penningtvätt har länge varit ett uppmärksammat problem, men inte förrän på senare år, särskilt efter den 11 september 2001 och terroristattackerna i USA har stora krafttag gjort att bekämpningen av problemet kommit igång. Bekämpningen och förhindrandet av penningtvätt och finansiering av terrorism är även viktigt utifrån ett större perspektiv. Om man kan strypa finanserna för kriminell verksamhet,Money laundering has for a long time been an acknowledged problem, now more than ever. Especially after 9/11 2001 and the terrorist attacks in the USA, joint efforts have made combating the problem a serious matter. Combating and prevention of money laundering and terrorism financing is also important from a larger perspective. If you can close off finances of criminal activity, you are one step c
