Bakgrund: Prokrastinering är uppskjutande av utförande av aktivitet trots vetskapen om att det kan ge negativa konsekvenser i längden. Det är ett fenomen som är väl beforskat inom den vetenskapliga disciplinen psykologi men i stort sett outforskat inom arbetsterapin och aktivitetsvetenskapen. Syfte: Syftet med denna studie var att kartlägga prokrastinering samt förekommande behandlingar ur ett aktBackground: Procrastination is the postponement of performance of an activity despite the knowledge that it can have negative consequences in the long run. It is a phenomenon that is well researched in the scientific discipline of psychology but largely unexplored in occupational therapy and occupational science. Aim: The aim of this study was to map procrastination and existing treatments from th

Proteus mirabilis bacilli play an important role in human urinary tract infections, bacteremia, and rheumatoid arthritis. The authors previously studied human complement C3 conversion by smooth-form P. mirabilis O10, O23, O30, and O43 lipopolysaccharides (LPSs) and showed that smooth Proteus LPSs fragmented C3 in a dose- and time-dependent manner. In the present study, one smooth P. mirabilis S195

This study set out to examine why agricultural production in differing agro-ecological zones of the same country responds differently to a common environmental event (an extension of the rainy season). We find that the heavy reliance of farmers in the drier agro-ecological zones on seasonal cycles make them more vulnerable to an extension of the rainy season than those in regions where rainfall is

Popular Abstract in Swedish Huvudtanken i svensk välfärdspolitik är att genom generella åtgärder skapa ett samhälle tillgängligt för alla medborgare. Det är därför viktigt att undvika segregering och särlösningar och i stället höja normalverksamhetens standard. Fritidshemmets mål och uppgifter är desamma för alla barn och kvaliteten i verksamheten ska vara så hög att alla barns behov tillgodoses.

Popular Abstract in Swedish Nollvisionen antagen av Sveriges riksdag fastlägger att ingen skall behöva dödas eller skadas svårt i trafiken i Sverige. Införande av detta begrepp förskjuter fokus från trafikolyckorna till konsekvenserna av trafikolyckorna och härmed skapas förutsättningar för ett paradigmskifte i trafiksäkerhetsarbetet. För att åstadkomma önskade förändringar är det nödvändigt och bThe over-arching objectives of this thesis were to formulate a method to describe the consequences of traffic casualties, and to explain the influence of different traffic engineering factors on these consequences for society and individuals over time. A more detailed objective was to examine whether available short-term indicators can be used to predict consequences in a long-term perspective. Ot

Neutrophils migrate to infected mucosal sites that they protect against invading pathogens. Their interaction with the epithelial barrier is controlled by CXC chemokines and by their receptors. This study examined the change in susceptibility to urinary tract infection (UTI) after deletion of the murine interleukin 8 receptor homologue (mIL-8Rh). Experimental UTIs in control mice stimulated an epi

Popular Abstract in Swedish Utgångspunkten för denna avhandling är de många bekymmer som präglar vår tid - däribland också bekymret om frivillighetens framtid i ett postmodernt samhälle. Det är en paradox, när det å ena sidan hävdas att det moderna samhället är i kris, att den sociala gemenskaperna har brutit samman och att människor inte längre ställer upp, engagerar sig och hjälper varandra. OchThe theme of this thesis is motives for voluntarism - with particular focus on volunteering in social work compared to voluntary work in sports clubs and patient associations. It is based on a combination of different data sources and methodological approaches: surveys, analyses of letters from volunteers and literature studies. Theoretically the thesis is based on two sets of sociological theorie

INTRODUCTION: Acute unilateral vestibulopathy (AUVP), or vestibular neuritis, disrupts the vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR), leading to impaired gaze stability during head movements. Vestibular function typically recovers to some extent. However, if recovery is incomplete, corrective eye saccades must compensate for the deficient VOR function. The aim was to analyze the progression of VOR gain recove

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of film holes’ arrangements and jet Reynolds number on flow structure and heat transfer characteristics of jet impingement conjugated with film cooling in a semicylinder double wall channel. Design/methodology/approach: Numerical simulations are used in this research. Streamlines on different sections, skin-friction lines, velocity,

The concentration of thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH, thyroliberin) in rat islets of Langerhans is 30-fold higher than in whole rat pancreas, indicating that the islets are the main source of pancreatic TRH. The TRH extracted from islets is indistinguishable from synthetic TRH in its immunological and biological properties and in its inactivation by human serum. The physiologic function of isle

Purpose: Endwall film cooling protects vane endwall by coolant coverage, especially at the leading edge (LE) region and vane-pressure side (PS) junction region. Strong flow impingement and complex vortexaa structures on the vane endwall cause difficulties for coolant flows to cover properly. This work aims at a full-scale arrangement of film cooling holes on the endwall which improves coolant effi

As researchers we are often faced with the difficult and demanding task of preparing models, and their computer implementations, for decision making, or, more recently, for integrated assessment. Such assessment often involves large scale problems, where the decisions to be made can deeply affect the environment, the social context and the economic background of regions and even nations. Yet, we f
