The purpose of the present study was to analyze the relationship between attachment style and level of work satisfaction for employees (n = 95) within a wide variety of workplaces in Sweden. A survey method was used and the questionnaire that was distributed contained ASQ, QPSNordic as well as items measuring general work satisfaction. A positive correlation between secure attachment style and lev
This paper deals with the component level breakdown of performance characteristics of a centrifugal compressor using detailed measurements. The compressor stage used for Heavy-Duty applications consisting of the impeller, vaneless diffuser, and volute has been experimentally tested in a gas stand. Several static pressure measurements combined with total pressure and temperature measurements on the
This study investigated the effects of cognitive conflict on abstract thinking. According to action-identification theory, an ambiguous and unfamiliar situation might propel an individual to a more abstract mindset. Based on this premise, cognitive conflict was hypothesized to put people in an abstract mindset. The induced compliance paradigm, in which participants are asked to write a counter-att
This paper presents the results of the 2022 Groundwater Time Series Modelling Challenge, where 15 teams from different institutes applied various data-driven models to simulate hydraulic-head time series at four monitoring wells. Three of the wells were located in Europe and one was located in the USA in different hydrogeological settings in temperate, continental, or subarctic climates. Participa
In 2022 and 2023, the Large Hadron Collider produced approximately two billion hadronic interactions each second from bunches of protons that collide at a rate of 40 MHz. The ATLAS trigger system is used to reduce this rate to a few kHz for recording. Selections based on hadronic jets, their energy, and event topology reduce the rate to Ô(10) kHz while maintaining high efficiencies for important s
Last June, the stem cell community came together to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the International Society for Stem Cell Research (ISSCR), one of the leading organizations in the field. The hybrid event mixed a varied program filled with plenary talks, concurrent track sessions, poster presentations, exhibit booths, and plenty of opportunities to enhance stem cell research through bonding bet
In this qualitative and poststructuralist policy analysis, the Swedish Crime policy is examined as it is expressed through three political documents from three different parties during the post-election period of October 2022-March 2024. Using Laclau and Mouffe’s discourse theory, with its Lacanian influence on the subject, this paper investigates the political language used in the policy area dur
Ebola virus disease (EVD) is a rare but highly contagious and lethal disease that occurs predominantly in African countries, with a case-fatality rate of 30–90%. The causative viral pathogens of EVD are within the genus Ebolavirus in the family Filoviridae. The primary route of human-to-human transmission is through direct contact with blood, bodily fluids and secretions from infected individuals.
Modifiable risk factors for cardiovascular disease include overweight, which is prevented by healthy diet and physical activity. Recently settled migrants may have varying levels of exposure to health information. Therefore, the objectives of this study were to explore the associations between self-reported information on healthy diet and on physical activity and overweight and the possible modifi
In the future, both rising sea water level and higher precipitation are expected due to climate change. Gothenburg is one of the cities in Sweden most affected by flooding in urban areas. Flooding is caused by very high sea level, but also as a consequence of heavy rainfall over the city. It is unknown whether high sea level or heavy rainfall is the most important reason for flooding, or if the co
Oxidative stress, or the production of oxygen-centered free radicals, has been hypothesized as the major source of DNA damage that in turn can lead to altered genetic expression, disease, and aging of humans. Serum protein thiol levels in blood are a direct measure of the in vivo reduction/oxidation (redox) status in humans, because thiols react readily with oxygen-containing free radicals to form
Scholars on Europeanization generally agree that local level governments are somewhat Europeanized since they are affected by EU legislation. The debate between scholars rather revolves around how local level governments are Europeanized. This study finds itself at the centre of the debate and studies what aspects of Europeanization that are present in the local level governments in Sweden. T
This study explores the cross-section between sustainability assessment and research reviewing- and evaluation at an early development stage of emerging technical solutions´ by conducting a case study on Sustainability Readiness Level, a tool used in the application and reviewing process of the Strategic Innovation Programme (SIP) BioInnovation. The aim of the thesis is to gain a deeper understand
Migration of highly skilled individuals or brain drain is an integral part of the globalization. Education is a crucial determinant of human capital accumulation in the country and therefore, a source of economic growth. The aim of this paper is to assess migration tendency as a function of educational level for the Eastern European region. While most previous studies have focused on the rural mig
High-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) is a major health concern for women due to its subtle onset, aggressive progression, high recurrence rate, and resistance to standard therapies. Olaparib, a PARP inhibitor, is currently used as maintenance therapy following removal of tumors. C26A6 is a promising therapeutic which has been shown to inhibit breast cancer progression in mouse models by disrup
This thesis examines the strategic utilization of brand ambassadors, storytelling, and framing techniques by the nonprofit organization Cancerfonden’s campaign Rosa Bandet 2022. The study highlights the importance of understanding these techniques combined to further deepen the knowledge in the field of Strategic Communication. The research employs a qualitative content analysis methodology, foc
