It is of interest to analyse the influence of different branding concepts (green, love and technology) on attitude towards public transportation, the intention to use and recommend it. Methodology: The study was of quantitative nature. Three brands for a
Syftet med detta examensarbete är att utreda vilka hinderdetekteringssystem som finns tillgängliga idag eller som är under utveckling, och att ta reda på vilket system som är bäst ur ett tekniskt och samhällsekonomiskt perspektiv. Med hinderdetektering menas de system som finns på järnvägen för att detektera var på järnvägen det finns ett hinder. Det kan t.ex. vara ett tåg, en godsvagn eller ett The main purpose of this thesis is to investigate which track vacancy detection systems are available today or under development, and determine which system is best from a technical and economically perspective. Track vacancy detection systems exist to supervise the railway and indicate if a track section is occupied with an obstacle, e.g. a train, freight wagon or maintenance vehicle. These trai
Background: Treatment guidelines recommend behaviour therapy (BT) for patients with Tourette syndrome (TS) and chronic tic disorder (CTD). However, BT is rarely accessible due to limited availability of trained therapists and long travel distances to specialist clinics. Internet-delivered BT has the potential of overcoming these barriers through remote delivery of treatment with minimal therapist
Objective: The aim was to compare rapid antigen detection test (RADT) and throat culture for group A streptococci (GAS) among patients recently treated with penicillin V for GAS pharyngotonsillitis. Design and setting: The study was a secondary analysis within a randomized controlled trial comparing 5 versus 10 days of penicillin V for GAS pharyngotonsillitis. Patients were recruited at 17 primary
What are the social positions of adults who were in long-term foster care as children, compared with the general population and with adults who grew up at home in families similar to foster children's birth families? How common is it to have been in foster care? Four approaches are used in this study: - A systematic review of around 50 studies on adult foster children. Conclusions are more pessim
Despite systematic screening and improved treatment strategies, the prognosis remains worse in patients with connective tissue disease-associated pulmonary arterial hypertension (CTD-PAH) compared to patients with idiopathic/hereditary pulmonary arterial hypertension (IPAH). We aimed to investigate differences in clinical characteristics, outcome and performance of the European Society of Cardiolo
AIMS: Reduced lung function and adverse health outcomes are often observed. This study characterizes genetic susceptibility for reduced lung function and risk of developing a range of adverse health outcomes.METHODS: We studied 27,438 middle-aged adults from the Malmö Diet and Cancer study (MDCS), followed up to 28.8 years. Trait-specific Polygenic scores (PGS) for forced expiratory volume in 1 s
Objectives: To explore associations between carer burden and characteristics of (1) the informal carer, (2) the person with dementia, and (3) the care support network in 8 European countries. Design: Cross-sectional study. Setting: People with dementia judged at risk of admission to long-term care (LTC) facilities in 8 European countries (Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Netherlands, Spain, Swed
Background: In observational studies, men with prostate cancer treated with gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonists had a higher risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) compared to men who had undergone orchiectomy. However, selection bias may have influenced the difference in risk. Objective: To investigate the association of type of androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) with risk of CVD while m
Rationale: Recent randomized controlled trials did not show cardiovascular benefits of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) in adults with coronary artery disease (CAD) and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in intention-to-treat analyses. It has been argued that exclusion of patients with OSA with excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS), who may be most likely to benefit from CPAP treatment, may be a
The escalating number of road traffic crashes in Malaysia poses a critical concern. The underreporting of these crashes has been identified as a significant problem that obstructs the effectiveness and efficiency of road safety work. Accordingly, a data-linkage study comparing hospital and police databases in a representative region of Malaysia was carried out. It showed a severe underreporting of
1. Temperate semi-natural grasslands are characterized by high levels of species diversity and have a high conservation value. Plant species diversity in grazed semi-natural grasslands is known to be influenced by management intensity and habitat connectivity. Both grazing pressure and between-patch connectivity are expected to depend on the movement patterns of livestock in the landscape. 2. The
Uppsatsen redogör för rättsläget kring uppsägningar och avsked med arbetstagarens brottslighet som grund. För avskedande krävs att arbetstagaren grovt åsidosatt sina åligganden enligt anställningsavtalet och för uppsägning finns ett krav på saklig grund. Vid bedömningen av huruvida saklig grund föreligger ställs krav på hur arbetsgivaren handlat. Arbetsgivaren har en rad lojalitetsplikter gentemotThis essay describes the legal situation regarding ordinary dismissals and summary dismissals based on an employee’s criminal activity. In order for the employer to be able to accomplish a summary dismissal the employee must have severely neglected his obligations against the employer. To accomplish an ordinary dismissal, the employer must show that the dismissal is based on objective grounds. The
Samhall har utfört sitt kärnuppdrag, att utveckla och rehabilitera personer med funktionshinder, sedan innan Sverige gick med i EU, och det är inte förvånade att det finns frågetecken kring hur den merkostnadsersättning företaget erhåller förhåller sig till EU:s statsstödsregler. De EU-rättsliga kraven på stöd som medlemsstaterna utger har vidare utvecklats och preciserats under de senaste åren, s
Vid anläggning av djupa borrhål med tryckluftsdriven sänkhammarborrning transporteras oundvikligen bortborrat berg blandat med grundvatten upp till markytan. I Sverige spolas kaxvattnet oftast ut i en cirka 10 m3 stor container för att de grövsta partiklarna ska sedimentera innan vattnet pumpas vidare. Efter grovavskiljning kan vattnet fortfarande innehålla höga halter av suspenderade partiklar. I
