Popular Abstract in Swedish Receptbelagda lugnande läkemedel används i behandling av framför allt ångest och sömnbesvär och har i det sammanhanget stor betydelse. Dessvärre kan beroende av dessa läkemedel utvecklas. Det förekommer även så kallad felanvändning av dessa läkemedel, d.v.s. användning utan recept, eller i högre doser, mer ofta, eller för annat syfte, än vad läkare har ordinerat. Sådan Background: Prescription sedatives are efficient in the treatment of anxiety and sleeping disorders, but are associated with a risk of misuse and dependence, as well as an increased risk of accidents, injuries and overdoses, both in the general population and especially in individuals with other substance misuse. The present thesis aims to investigate prescription sedative use and misuse in two ki

In this master's thesis, data from eight different cases of novice entrepreneurs is gathered. The goal was to investigate how novice entrepreneurs shape their decision-making process to manage uncertainty in the early stages of their ventures. Utilizing qualitative interviews conducted between March and April of 2024, this study delves into the different strategies used by novice entrepreneurs

This study explores how scientists navigate research topic transitions during their early-career training and examines its impact on the production of novel knowledge. Drawing on survey data of 270 mid-career scientists in life sciences, we investigate their time investment in topics during early career stages (i.e. during PhD and postdoc training) and trace their research output for 15 years afte

With the projected increase in the number of hydrogen-fueled trucks, it can be expected that it will become more common for such vehicles to be involved in road collisions. Even if hydrogen vehicles are designed with a quick-closing valve on tanks in accordance with UN/ECE R134, a small volume of hydrogen will be contained downstream of this valve and in the fuel-cell recirculation system and ther

Organtransplantation har under de senaste decennierna utvecklats från att vara en experimentell behandling till att bli huvudbehandling för en rad sjukdomar. Förbättringar i immundämpande behandlingar anses generellt vara en av huvudorsakerna till denna utveckling, som också har medfört bättre utfall i form av överlevnad och livskvalitet. Under samma tidsperiod har kostnaden per transplantation mi

Agricultural intensification and the subsequent fragmentation of semi-natural habitats severely restrict pollinator and pollen movement threatening both pollinator and plant species. Linear landscape elements such as hedgerows are planted for agricultural and conservation purposes to increase the resource availability and habitat connectivity supporting populations of beneficial organisms such as

Interdisciplinary research within the field of sustainability studies often faces incompatible ontological assumptions deriving from natural and social sciences. The importance of this fact is often underrated and sometimes leads to the wrong strategies. We distinguish between two broad approaches in interdisciplinarity: unificationism and pluralism.

Popular Abstract in Swedish Den kanske viktigaste anledningen till att söka en grundläggande förståelse av ekonomiskt beteende är att erhålla ett underlag för utformningen och genomförandet av ekonomisk politik. Utan en sådan förståelse minskas möjligheterna att uppnå målen för den ekonomiska politiken. Detta gäller i synnerhet den ekonomiska politik som bedrivs genom finanspolitik. En av finanspIn the first essay of this thesis, we examine whether the effects of fiscal expansions and contractions exert a symmetric influence on the relationship between fiscal policy and private consumption. Our results indicate a considerable asymmetry across fiscal expansions and contractions. More specifically, during fiscal contractions, transfers seem to influence private consumption in a neoclassical

Studenterna inom lärarutbildningen vid Högskolan i Halmstad skriver under sin sista termin ett examensarbete. Enligt de bedömningskriterier som tillämpas ska examensarbetet vara såväl vetenskapligt som skol- och yrkesrelevant. Examensarbetet bedöms av akademiska lärare och bedömningarna ligger till grund för betygsättningen av examensarbetena. Efter att examensarbetena betygsatts, kommenteras de g

Abstract in Undetermined Mötet mellan organisationer och kunder, det så kallade servicemötet, är av central betydelse för såväl förståelse som för ledning av tjänsteverksamheter. Att tjänster utgörs av de interaktioner som uppstår under servicemötet har sedan länge uppmärksammats, inte minst av forskare som Christian Grönroos, Evert Gummesson och Richard Normann och den Nordiska skolan inom servic

There is a lack of objective evaluative standards for academic work. While this has been recognized in studies of how gatekeepers pass judgment on the works of others, little is known about how scholars deal with the uncertainty about how their work will be evaluated by gatekeepers. Building upon 35 interviews with early career academics in political science and history, this paper explores how ju

Popular Abstract in Swedish Muskelömhet hos kvinnor Smärttrösklar för tryck i skuldermuskulaturen (trapezius och deltoideus) i vila, efter muskel uttröttning och efter smärtsam stimulering Smärta i muskler och leder och besvär i form av upplevd trötthet i musklerna är vanligt förekommande problem, särskilt hos den kvinnliga delen av befolkningen. Man har ansett detta kopplat till olika belastandeLongstanding pain experienced from the musculoskeletal system is reported by one third of the Swedish population. The underlying mechanisms are not known in the majority of cases. In the present studies, the changes in pressure pain thresholds (PPTs) over the trapezius and deltoid muscles after a unilateral static contraction of maximal duration of one arm was measured in healthy females (n=25) a

Regulation of development and entry into sporulation is critical for fungi to ensure survival of unfavorable environmental conditions. Here we present an analysis of gene sets regulating sporulation in the homothallic ascomycete Ashbya gossypii. Deletion of components of the conserved pheromone/starvation MAP kinase cascades, e.g., STE11 and STE7, results in increased sporulation. In kar3 mutants

A key question for evidence-based medicine (EBM) is how best to model the way in which EBM should “[integrate] individual clinical expertise and the best external evidence” (Sackett et al. 1996). We argue that the formulations and models available in the literature today are modest variations on a common theme and face very similar problems. For example, both the early and updated models of eviden
