This paper aims to explore how learning about Circular Economy (CE) may be facilitated through the use of the serious game In the Loop. Despite the growing literature base related to CE, academic reflection on education for a CE is currently limited. In the Loop was developed to provide an experiential learning situation for educating about material criticality and CE. This study reflects on the u
Objective: In lymphedema management, lower limb volume is commonly assessed by circumference measurementevery 4th cm which is however time-consuming. The aim of this study is to evaluate the agreement between volumemeasurements derived from circumference measurements every 4th cm (V4) with every 8th cm (V8) and every 12th cm(V12) in patients with lower limb lymphedema (LLL) and to determine the te
This research platform gathers scholars from a number of disciplines to interrogate the complex ideological, historical, and practical interactions between Christianity and nationalism. The platform understands both terms broadly; it investigates various forms of Christianity and different shapes of nationalism — through political, economic, sociological, historical, theological and philosophical
Vid Miljö- och geovetenskapliga institutionen bedriver vi forskning och utbildning som belyser både grundläggande och tillämpade frågor om jordens tidigare, nuvarande och framtida klimat och miljö. Vi studerar också hur människor påverkar naturen och hur dessa förändringar i sin tur påverkar vårt välbefinnande. Institutionen utvecklar och använder avancerade metoder, modeller och tekniker inom blaAt the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences, we conduct research and provide education that highlights both fundamental and applied questions concerning the Earth’s past, present and future climate and environment. We also study how humans affect nature and how these changes, in turn, influence our wellbeing. The department develops and uses advanced methods, models and technologies, inc
This thesis examines the relationship between organizational buyer behavior and brand sensitivity and factors that affect them when making purchase decisions in hotels and restaurants.
Sepsis är ett allvarligt, systemiskt svar på infektion och orsakas ofta av bakterier. Dödligheten kan vara upp till 30%. Snabb och korrekt diagnostik är central då dödligheten ökar med 8% för varje timme som går utan att patienten får adekvat behandling. Sepsis är tämligen okänt för allmänheten, och svårfångat pga hastig progress och olikheter i ursprung. Forskningen kring sepsis är underfinansierSepsis is a severe, systemic response to infection, often caused by bacteria. Approx. 30 million cases occur worldwide each year causing up to 8 million deaths. The mortality is as high as 30%. Rapid and accurate diagnosis is crucial, as mortality increases with 8% every hour that appropriate treatment is delayed. Sepsis is fairly unknown to the general public, and complicated by its rapid progres
Fokus för forskningen kan sammanfattas med orden vardag, hälsa och välbefinnande. Aktivitet, dess komplexitet, mening och vilken betydelse det har för människors upplevelse av hälsa och välbefinnande – är centralt. Vi som är organiserade i gruppen arbetar i varierande omfattning med undervisning, forskning och med att sprida våra resultat till brukare och olika verksamheter i samhället.The research in the Occupational therapy and occupational science-group is focused on occupation, health and wellbeing. The complexity, meaning and importance of the concept of everyday occupations for people’s health, is the key. The group works to a varying extent at teaching, research and dissemination of our results to users, in the society.
Metastaserande bröstcancer är en ledande dödsorsak bland medelålders kvinnor. Målsättningen med vår forskning är att studera de två mekanismerna för spridning; lymfogen och hematogen, och att karakterisera spridda tumörceller, i förhållande till patienters sjukdomsförlopp i kliniska kohorter. Även synkrona lymfkörtelmetastaser visar tecken på tumörprogression jämfört med primärtumören med betydelsMetastatic breast cancer is a major cause of death in middle-aged women. The aim of our research is studying the two routes of metastatic spread; lymphatic and haematogenous, and characterization of disseminated tumor cells in relation to patients’ outcome in clinical cohorts. Even synchronous lymph node metastases show signs of tumor progression compared to the primary tumor with implication on t
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to examine the abnormal returns for the acquiring firms surrounding M&A announcements. The emphasis of the study lies on examining the difference in abnormal returns between acquiring public and private firms. Secondly, the study aims to get theoretical insights by examining the relationship between the magnitude of abnormal returns and different deal char
Color is the most obvious and easily determined soil property that can provide crucial information about soil composition. The NIX™ Pro color sensor (Nix) presents a user-friendly alternative to the traditional Munsell manual method, with reduced sensitivity to environmental and human factors. Therefore, a new method was developed to use Nix in combination with machine learning to quickly and affo
OBJECTIVE: To deepen the knowledge of frail elderly patients' preferences for participation in medical decision making during hospitalization.METHODS: Qualitative study using content analysis of semi-structured interviews.RESULTS: Patient participation to frail elderly means information, not the wish to take part in decisions about their medical treatments. They view the hospital care system as an
In order to determine the mode of beat-to-beat decay of contractility from very high levels, we studied the beat-by-beat decay of cardiac contractility following potentiation. Such decay curves are normally analysed using a mono-exponential decay function, which assumes that a fixed fraction of activator calcium ions is recirculated from one beat to the next. We postulated that there might be devi
