I denna studie har 88 körningar i en körsimulator analyserats i syfte att undersöka hur utformningen av en cirkulationsplats påverkar förarens val av ingångshastighet. Aspekterna radiestorlek, antal körfält och mötande trafik var av intresse och justerades i testerna. Syftet var att sedan ställa datan för varje parameter mot varandra och därmed kunna ta fram ett resultat. Simuleringsmiljön byggdIn this examination 88 test-drives in a driving simulator have been analyzed with the purpose to research if the design of a roundabout will affect a driver’s entry speed. The aspects size of the radius, number of lanes and oncoming traffic was of interest and were adjusted within the tests. The purpose was to collect data from every parameter and then compare them to each other to get a result.

The aim of the current study was to gain an overview of factors that can effect social secretaries motivation, both positively and negatively, in their work with social assistance. This study has focused on what the employee does rather than what he or she earns as a factor that leads to increased work motivation. To have motivated employees are important in every organization and above all in Hum

This paper presents research on the vocabulary used in textbooks for language courses in Italian for beginners. The goal of the research was to find out if there is any difference in vocabulary between textbooks written for a Swedish target audience on the one hand, and a target audience living in Italy on the other hand, and also what consequences, if any, these differences might have. The

Historically, the recognition of social rights began with the International Labour Organization’s 1944 Declaration of Philadelphia and its principle of social justice. Since then, a number of international human rights instruments have enshrined the rights to social protection and non-discrimination. The Canadian and United States governments have varied greatly in their respective approaches to s

This paper investigates what the barriers and enablers are for persons with disabilities and organisations of persons with disabilities to engage in climate action. The countries analysed are Bangladesh and Madagascar as two countries in the Global South who are similarly impacted by climate change. Persons with disabilities are one of the most marginalised groups in any society and one of the mos

Bakgrund: Att ha aktiviteter är viktigt för att uppleva hälsa. Vissa symtom kan reducera möjligheten att vara aktiv, ett sådant är fatigue. Fatigue är vanligt vid multipel skleros (MS). Arbetsterapeuter hjälper personer med fatigue i vardagen. Kursen Fatigue Management riktar sig till personer med MS-relaterad fatigue och lär ut strategier för att hantera fatigue. Forskning har visat att kursen ärBackground: Having occupations is important to experience health. Certain symptoms can reduce the ability to be active, one such is fatigue. Fatigue is common in multiple sclerosis (MS). Occupational therapists help people with fatigue in their everyday life. The course - Fatigue Management - is aimed at people with MS-related fatigue and teaches strategies to manage fatigue. Research has shown th

Inom svensk arbetsrätt är (SFS 1982:80) lagen om anställningsskydd den centrala lagstiftningen som reglerar anställningsform och hur en uppsägning får ske. Arbetstagaren har turordningsreglerna i 22§ Lag om anställningsskydd som skydd och i det anciennitetsprincipen (senioritetsprincipen), då arbetsgivaren anfört arbetsbrist inom verksamheten som uppsägningsskäl. Turordningsreglerna har varit

Circular economy is a solution for how to achieve sustainable development in the world. A circular economy involves the recirculation of products and materials, and aims to avoid the creation of waste. For a product to be recirculated, the recirculation needs to be considered already in the design phase. This thesis is performed in collaboration with Axis Communications and explores how to desi

Previous studies indicated that there was an alkaline sphingomyelinase (SMase) activity in small intestine, but its properties have not been studied in detail. In the present work, we studied the distribution of this enzyme activity in rat gastrointestinal tract and characterized it in intestinal mucosal homogenates. Little alkaline SMase activity was detected in the stomach and the duodenum. The

Key message: Analyses of barley mat-c loss of function mutants reveal deletions, splice-site mutations and nonsynonymous substitutions in a key gene regulating early flowering. Abstract: Optimal timing of flowering is critical for reproductive success and crop yield improvement. Several major quantitative trait loci for flowering time variation have been identified in barley. In the present study,

Background: Today, patient self-determination has become an issue in many western countries due to the widespread availability and use of technology, which makes it possible to prolong life often in spite of severe disability and poor quality of life. Many people fear an overzealous use of modern life-saying procedures which merely serve to prolong the dying process. As a first step towards autono

High-dose methotrexate (HDMTX) is a central component in the treatment of acute lymphoblastic leukemia, osteosarcoma, and some lymphomas and brain tumors. MTX is given at lethal doses and then is followed by rescue treatment with folinic acid (FA). Despite FA rescue, many patients suffer severe toxicity. The pharmacokinetics of FA rescue have not been sufficiently studied. However, optimization of

Rainfall intensity or depth estimates are vital input for hydrologic and hydraulic models used in designing drainage infrastructures. Unfortunately, these estimates are susceptible to different sources of uncertainties including climate change, which could have high implications on the cost and design of hydraulic structures. This study adopts a systematic literature review to ascertain the disreg

The use of radio signal for position tracking (positioning) and navigation has a long tradition. Most notably, global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) are now widely applied for civilian applications, ranging all the way from tracking of cargo containers to gaming. However, GNSS suffers from limited coverage in dense urban areas and indoors and also from a limited position accuracy, which rules
