Introduction: Assessing work capacity and determining appropriate sick leave is a complex process. Despite the importance of fair and consistent assessments, evidence suggests that evaluations may vary. However, previous studies have been inconclusive and have mainly focused on whether sick leave should be recommended or not. The present study examined the medical reliability and consistency of ph
Cognition in children with cerebral palsy (CP) is often affected. How cognition differs by functional level and subtype is not clear, and the effects of adapted response modes need investigation. In this study, the aims were to investigate how many psychologists reported that interpreters and/or augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) were used, how many assessments were adapted, if there
Background: The recommended treatment for hyposmia (a clinically reduced sense of smell) is olfactory training using odor containers that the patients smell twice a day for several weeks. Adherence to the olfactory training regimen is, however, generally low. We aimed to investigate if a new form of odor delivery, using scented nasal inserts, could enhance adherence to olfactory training by allowi
Introduction: Cell-free DNA is an emerging marker of allograft injury, yet its role in the immediate phase of ischemia–reperfusion injury remains incompletely understood.Methods: In this prospective cohort of 127 kidney transplant recipients (86 deceased donors, 41 living donors), intraoperative plasma samples were collected systemically pre-implantation and from the allograft vein postreperfusion
Cardiovascular disease is the global number one causeof mortality and morbidity. The majority of cardio vascular diseases are caused by atherosclerosis, a lipid-driven, inflammatory disease of the middle- and large-sized arteries. The disease is characterized by the formation of atherosclerotic plaques throughout the arterial tree. Over the years, insights intohe pathogenesis of atherosclerosis ha
Background: Patients with relapsing–remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS) experience fatigue and impaired information processing speed (IPS) frequently, even in the absence of clinical or radiological disease activity. Previous studies investigating associations between fatigue, IPS, neurofilament light chain (NfL) and glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) have reported conflicting results. Objecti
This study examines how early-stage entrepreneurs come to engage in financial bootstrapping under conditions of financial constraint. Existing research has largely focused on the techniques entrepreneurs use to bootstrap and the structural conditions associated with such behaviour, while the interpretive process through which bootstrapping becomes a workable response has received limited attention
Perceived safety in urban areas depends on factors operating across multiple spatial scales. Nevertheless, most studies address only one scale at a time. The methodological contribution of this work lies on the introduction of a multi-scale approach for the analysis of perceived in urban areas. This approach includes city, neighbourhood, and individual scales. The overall goal is to identify the k
Background: Older adults aging with long-term spinal cord injury (SCI) are insufficiently physically active to reach health benefits. However, little is known about their perceptions of physical activity (PA) and barriers and facilitators to their PA engagement.Objectives:To explore perceptions and experiences of engagement and participation in PA among older adults aging with long-term SCI.Method
I sitt arbete mot att förhindra skatteplaneringsförfaranden har lagstiftaren i inkomstskattelagen infört begränsningar mot rätten till att dra av ränteutgifterna för koncerninterna lån. Vid lagstiftningens införande kom detta endast att gälla lån som hänförde sig till förvärv av delägarrätter men då lagstiftningens syfte inte ansågs uppnås utvidgades reglerna till att omfatta alla interna lån. LagIn the legislator’s work towards preventing tax evasion, the legislator introduced restrictions against deduction of interest expenses relating to inter corporate loans. At first, the adjudication process only applied to loans that were attributable to the acquisition of ownership rights within the corporation. But when the purpose of the law was not considered to be achieved, the legislation was
Bakgrund: Kulturhistoriska byggnader har ett särskilt historiskt, estetiskt eller socialt värde och skyddas av regler som begränsar förändringar. Med rätt byggnadsvård och tekiska lösningar kan bevarande kombineras med energieffektiviseringar. Även om bevarande ofta innebär högre initiala kostnader, kan det ge långsiktiga värden både kulturellt och ekonomiskt. Syfte: Syftet är ett undersöka hur kThroughout history, construction practices have reflected the materials, knowledge, and economic resources available at the time. These historical characteristics are now seen as cultural assets worth preserving. However, older buildings often fail to meet modern standards, necessitating significant interventions to comply with today’s regulations. This thesis explores the challenges and opportun
In today’s world, many companies are pushed to adapt their business models in response to evolving external pressures. While business model change has received increasing attention in research, relatively little is known about how such change actually unfolds inside organizations. Responding to calls for a more dynamic view of business models, this thesis explores how strategy process factors medi
The threat against biodiversity on beaches is significant in combination with the erosion pressing on our coastlines. At the same time beaches provide paramount cultural and recreational value and are expected to be attractive and accessible for beach visitors. This study explores macroalgae and the conflict between using the beach as a habitat to promote biodiversity while also promoting recreati
This thesis investigates how business angel investors interpret and evaluate hybrid entrepreneurial teams, startups led by founders who retain salaried employment while launching their ventures. While hybrid entrepreneurship is increasingly common, it challenges traditional heuristics around founder commitment, team scalability, and investability in early-stage finance. Drawing on ten qualitative
Background: The beauty industry has transitioned away from traditional marketing and toward interactive, social media-driven techniques, with firms engaging customers with influencers and user-generated content on platforms such as Instagram and TikTok. While most studies focus on advertisements and influencers, little is known about how average users, particularly young women, interact with beaut
