Hyolithids are a group of Paleozoic lophotrochozoans with a four-pieced skeleton consisting of a conch, an operculum, and a pair of lateral 'spines' named helens. Both the conch and operculum are relatively well known and, to a certain extent, have modern analogues in other lophotrochozoan groups. The helens, on the other hand, are less well known and do not have clear modern analogues. This has h

The aim of the thesis is to develop a model, based on well known physical and empirical formulas, to simulate the heat load on a rink of artificially frozen ice. A comparison of the results from this model and the results from other methods to determine heat load of the rink is made. The model calculates the heat load from convection, long wave radiation from the air temperature and from the sky t

This paper is about, from a North and South different perspective, how the international focus of sustainable construction issues has changed over the past ten years. It is a review from four different international and regional sustainable building conferences between 1998 and 2007. The paper is mostly based of the first author's notes from the conferences, especially from the plenary sessions an

The application of multiple omics technologies in biomedical cohorts has the potential to reveal patient-level disease characteristics and individualized response to treatment. However, the scale and heterogeneous nature of multi-modal data makes integration and inference a non-trivial task. We developed a deep-learning-based framework, multi-omics variational autoencoders (MOVE), to integrate suc

AIM Enterococci cause 2-11% of all prosthetic joint infections (PJI) and are generally considered difficult to treat. However, study-results are not consistent. In this study we present a population-based case series of 55 cases with enterococcal PJI, investigating treatment and outcome, as well as describing the affected patient population regarding demography and co-morbidities. METHODS We ident

The aim of the study was to explore how school counselors experience and describe youth´s vulnerability on social media. Furthermore, the study intended to explore the school's preventive and remedial work to combat abusive treatment or bullying on social media. The study had a qualitative approach including six semi-structured interviews that were conducted by school counselors working at mid

The movement of the coast line, due to erosion in one direction or aggregation in theother is a natural process as waves, wind as well as the geological nature of the coast itselfare affecting it. Sand dunes are the main protection coasts have at their disposal againstfloods during storm surges or from more passive but long range rainfalls. As many of the coastal areas have a dense population and

“Meetings are now more important” : A study about social workers' view on client meetings within the financial aid sector. In social work, meeting other people forms a big part of the job and human contact is generally considered very important. The aim of this study was to investigate how social workers within the financial aid sector reason about meetings with clients when based on the goal

Insekters DNA i luften? På senare år har flera forskningsrapporter visat att olika insektgrupper drastiskt minskar i antal. Till följd av detta kan man även se att artkompositionen förändrats och att andra organismer som är beroende av insekter, antingen för pollinering eller som föda, också minskar i antal. För att kunna förstå varför dessa förändringar sker så krävs en kontinuerlig övervakning In the face of widely reported declines in insect abundance and diversity, there is a great need for faster and easier insect monitoring methods as the already established methods are time consuming and only target specific species groups. In this study I investigate if metabarcoding of eDNA samples collected from the air can i) detect and identify insect species, ii) help quantify spatial and tem

Denna studie ingick i kvalitetssäkring av en behandlingsmottagning i södra Sverige. Syftet med studien var att beskriva hur en grupp kvinnor (N=31) som utsatts för våld i nära relation bedömde sina psykologiska välmående med Outcome Rating Scale (ORS) samt belysa tidiga avbrott i behandlingen. Genom en longitudinell kvantitativ studie, undersöktes kvinnornas skattningar utifrån de fyra första beha

Döda grenar i levande trädkronor – en förbisedd resurs Döda grenar i levande trädkronor utgör en kontinuerlig resurs av död ved under ett träds hela livstid som kan utnyttjas av organismer beroende av denna. Denna resurs har dock till stor del förbisetts i forskning eftersom trädkronor är svårtillgängliga för studier. Istället undersöks främst grov död ved (>10 cm i diameter) på marken. Den forskAlthough attached dead branches in tree canopies provide a continuous supply of dead wood throughout the lifetimes of trees it is a resource often neglected in dead wood research due to the inaccessibility of tree crowns. Biotic and abiotic factors in canopies differ from the ones on the forest floor and provides different living conditions for organisms associated with dead wood. In this study I

I samband med att Covid-19 bröt ut våren 2020 tvingades många organisationer att införa distansarbete där anställdas interaktioner med närmsta chef flyttades över till digitala plattformar. Syftet med denna studie var att främst undersöka relationen mellan arbetsengagemang och anställdas upplevda tillgänglighet till närmsta chef, kontaktfrekvens med närmsta chef samt den upplevda kvaliteten av relThe 2020 COVID-19 outbreak forced many organizations to introduce teleworking where employee interactions with the immediate manager shifted to digital platforms. The main purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between employees’ work engagement and availability to the immediate manager, contact frequency with the immediate manager and the perceived quality of the relationship w
