Abstract The significance of terrestrially derived iron (Fe) for marine ecosystems and its implications on other biogeochemical cycles is well recognised. It has been recently highlighted that the concentration of Fe in several Swedish rivers has increased strongly over the last 40 years. Four rivers draining into the Baltic Sea were used in the present study in order to assess the aggregation pr
In online auctions bidding frequency tends to increase towards the last minutes of the auction. This thesis investigates why bidders might choose to engage in last minute bidding, sniping, in Tradera auctions (Tradera is a Swedish subsidiary of eBay). Tradera uses a hard-close rule and a second-price rule. In hard-close auctions the dead-line occurs at a specific time, after which new bids are not
Hope was founded in 2001 by Ann Ringstrand and Stefan Söderberg. Since then the company has grown rapidly. It has won many prestigious design awards and is considered one of the most promising Swedish fashion companies. To gain control of their expansion they needed a sales forecasting tool. The search for a suitable method started with Hope’s sales order history. Due to very short and irregular r
Denna uppsats behandlar frågeställningar rörande romska barn, dvs. barn med minoritetsstatus i LVU-ärenden (lagen om vård av unga). Uppsatsens syfte är att studera hur rättsväsendet hanterar LVU-ärenden som berör romska barn och att undersöka om rättsväsendet vidtar speciella åtgärder för att garantera de romska barnen sina minoritetsrättigheter. Uppsatsens har även två delysften, att kortfattat bThis essay deals with issues concerning the Romani children, i.e. children with minority status in LVU cases (the law on the care of youth). The essays main purpose is to study how the legal system handles LVU cases involving Romani children and to investigate if the judiciary is taking special measures to ensure the Romani children their minority rights. The essay also aims to briefly describe th
In our thesis we will analyze two different types of immersive and interactive technologies at two Swedish museums: Västergötlands museum and Naturhistoriska riksmuseet. For this paper we conducted field research where we visited the museums and studied two installations: a browser game called Fornbyäventyret as well as a mobile app called Nya djur, which is based on augmented reality. Our primary
Sports-related concussions (SRCs) typically occur when the brain is hyperthermic. Acute head-and-neck cooling should, therefore, reduce the brain's metabolic demands, with the potential to improve recovery following an SRC. Elite ice hockey players who underwent head-and-neck cooling after sustaining a concussion (SRC) showed reduced return-to-play times, although further investigation is warrante
Introduction Autistic persons experience problems with movements and body awareness in everyday functionality, expressed in affected movement quality. Yet, there is a knowledge gap about the effects of interventions targeting these aspects in autistic persons. Objective To evaluate effects of Basic Body Awareness Therapy (BBAT) and treatment-as-usual (TAU), compared to TAU alone on movement qualit
Background and objective The Scania Accelerated Intermittent Theta-burst Implementation Study (SATIS) aimed to investigate the tolerability, preliminary effectiveness, and practical feasibility of an accelerated intermittent theta burst stimulation (aTBS) protocol in treating depression. Methods We used an open-label observational design, recruiting 20 patients (aged 19–84 years) from two public b

Despite the anticipated benefits of smart home technology (SHT) to support older adults' engagement in meaningful activities, barriers to the adoption of SHT have been identified. While research in the field of technology is surging, research on older adults playing an active role in designing and developing SHT to enhance usability is lacking. It is important to co-develop solutions to place olde
Neuroendocrine tumours (NETs) of the small intestine (siNET) are slow-growing malignancies often diagnosed at an advanced stage. Despite their indolent nature, patients frequently experience significant symptoms, including carcinoid syndrome (CS) with diarrhoea, which impact their health-related quality of life (HRQoL). This thesis investigates the determinants of HRQoL in siNET patients, its prog
BACKGROUND: Serious illness communication is a key element of high-quality care, but it is difficult to implement in practice. The Serious Illness Care Program (SICP) is a multifaceted intervention that contributes to more, earlier, and better serious illness conversations and improved patient outcomes. This qualitative study examined the organizational and implementation factors that influenced i
Denna studie undersöker hur restid upplevs och används av kollektivtrafikresenärer. Genom en enkät med drygt tusen respondenter och samtal i en fokusgrupp framkommer flera intressanta insikter.Mobiltelefonen har blivit den mest använda utrustningen ombord, medan traditionella medier som böcker och tidningar har minskat i förekomst. Vanliga aktiviteter under resan inkluderar att scrolla på mobilen,This study examines how travel time is perceived and utilised by public transport passengers. Through a survey of just over a thousand respondents and discussions in a focus group, several interesting insights emerge.The mobile phone has become the most used device on board, while traditional media such as books and newspapers have decreased in prevalence. Common activities during the journey incl
This thesis focuses on processing and electro-optical investigations of two- and three-terminal photodetectors based on large arrays of around three million n+-i-n+ InP nanowires with embedded InAsP quantum heterostructures for broadband detection. First, we investigated the optoelectronic behavior of two-terminal photodetectors under selective 980 nm excitation of the 20 axially embedded InAsP qu
Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to explore the current trends, implications and challenges of information systems (IS) related to omni-channel logistics. Design/methodology/approach: An exploratory survey study is conducted with 23 Swedish retail companies transforming to omni-channel logistics. The study investigates the retailers’ current situations regarding logistics IS as well as their
Technological and policy solutions for transitioning to a fossil-free society exist, many countries could afford the transition, and rational arguments for rapid climate action abound. Yet effective action is still lacking. Dominant policy approaches have failed to generate action at anywhere near the rate, scale or depth needed to avoid potentially catastrophic futures. This is despite 30 years o
INTRODUCTION: Intracranial haemorrhage (ICH) is the most serious complication in infants and children with severe congenital bleeding disorders causing substantial mortality and long-term neurological morbidity. The neonatal period carries the highest risk, particularly in severe haemophilia and rare factor deficiencies. We review the epidemiology, risk factors, prevention, recognition, management
Poland holds great potential for bioenergy. However, biomass production from dedicated energy crops has not developed at a pace that was hoped. Clearly, there are barriers hindering farmers. The aim of this research was to directly explore the farmers’ perspective on barriers to growing dedicated energy crops in Poland. During the on-the-ground research conducted in Poland the perceptions regardin
Background: The ability to adapt and habituate based on prior experiences is important for human movement control, fall prevention and for the ability to enhance performance during various human activities. However, little is known about the ability for the elderly to adapt to balance perturbations in the lateral direction. Objective: To determine whether adaptation, i.e., the ability to adjust po
