Obtaining microstructural information non-invasively on brain tissue remains a challenge. Diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (dMRI) is an imaging method that can provide such information. That includes geometrical considerations of nerve cells projections, axons, that are present in the white matter of the human brain. Axons carry information encoded into electrical impulses to other cells. The
Tidigare studier har visat att arbetsrelaterad stress är ett ökande problem, med kopplingar till psykisk ohälsa, samtidigt som fysisk aktivitet kan bidra till minskad upplevd stress. I denna studie har 194 uthyrda konsulter på ett bemanning- och rekryteringsföretag i Sverige studerats för att kartlägga deras upplevda arbetsrelaterade stress samt fysiska aktivitetsnivå. Arbetsrelaterad stress har Previous studies have shown that work-related stress is an increasing problem, with connections to mental illness. Meanwhile, physical activity can decrease experienced stress. In this study, 194 consultants on a staffing and recruiting agency in Sweden have been studied to map their work-related stress and level of physical activity. Work-related stress has been measured with Work Stress Question
Personlig integritet i arbetslivet är tämligen oreglerad i svensk rätt och den reglering som finns är komplex och svåröverskådlig. Det är i synnerhet PuL som aktualiseras i fråga om arbetstagares personliga integritet, vilken i maj 2018 ersätts av GDPR. Den består likt PuL av allmänt hållna bestämmelser. Emellertid tillhandahåller GDPR stärkt skydd för individens personliga integritet och ökade skIntegrity in the workforce appears to be rather unregulated in the swedish law. The existing regulation is compound and difficult to get a grip of. In May, 2018, the Personal Data Act will be replaced by the GDPR, which in similar to the former consists of general provisions. However, the new legislation provides employees increased protection, but also more responsibilities for the employers. Th
Syftet med detta examensarbete var att utreda vilken behandlingsmetod som passar bäst för behandling av lakvattnet från Nyvång deponi, Åstorp. Hänsyn till lakvattnets karaktär, bästa möjliga teknik (BMT) samt recipientens och deponiägarens förutsättningar togs vid utredningen. Först utfördes en lakvattenkarakterisering, vilken visade att reningen bör fokusera på kväve och fosfor, varefter en litteThe aim of this master thesis was to investigate which leachate treatment methods are the most suitable for Nyvång landfill, Åstorp, with respect to the character of the leachate, best available technique (BAT), the circumstances of the facility and the leachate receptor. Firstly, assessments were undertaken of the leachate characteristics and the receptor’s conditions; nitrogen and phosphorus lev
The purpose of this study was to examine how school counselors use their discretion in a dynamic surrounding where social media is increasingly present in students’ lives and furthermore to examine how school counselors use social media as a part of their work. Eight qualitative semi-structured interviews were conducted with school counselors in order to achieve the purpose of the study. These int
Föreliggande uppsats undersöker personliga vittnesmål publicerade på en mikroblogg och behandlar det förhållandevis nyligen myntade begreppet mansplaining. Syftet är att studera vilken funktion personliga vittnesmål kan fylla i strävan efter jämställdhet. För att undersöka det görs en genreanalys utifrån Carolyn R. Millers sätt att se på genre som social handling. Huvudsakliga teoretiska perspekti
Existing models which describe crowd movement are running out of time and are failing to take the change of people’s characteristics into account. The purpose of this study is to determine the “state-of- the-art” regarding the research within the field of crowd movement and identify parameters that influence crowd movement. To do this, a scoping review was conducted and the articles that were foun
Bakgrund Psykisk ohälsa hos mödrar postnatalt är vanligt förekommande världen över. Ofta leder detta till skam och stigmatisering vilket gör att många mödrar inte söker hjälp. Sjukvården erbjuder allt fler möjligheter till stöd och behandling på distans. Syfte Att beskriva mödrars upplevelser av distansbaserade interventioner vid depressiva symtom postnatalt. Metod En litteraturstudie genomfördes,
This paper examines how trust in national and European institutions, as surveyed in the Eurobarometer, has been affected by the 2008 global financial crisis. By using a recently published database on financial crises in Europe for the EU-countries between 1999 and 2017 a series of panel regressions gives strong support for the hypothesis that a financial crisis has a negative effect on institution
Popular Abstract in Swedish Huvudsyftet med studien har varit att ta fram matematiska samband för dimensionering av processutrustning – dimensionering är ett klassiskt ingenjörsproblem. Korrekt dimensionering är viktig för att utrustningen skall fungera tillfredsställande och dessutom inte resultera i onödiga investerings- och driftskostnader. Den matematiska modell (en uppsättning ekvationer) soA study concerning closure relations pertinent to the design of sorption equipment of absorption heat pumps has been undertaken. Specifically, thermosiphon and vertical falling film arrangements were studied. For the thermosiphon, experimental data on the void fraction, the friction and orifice pressure drops, and the heat transfer coefficient at sub-atmospheric pressures were obtained for vapori
The aim of this study was to describe first-time mothers' views of satisfaction with their first encounter with the nurse, in order to investigate differences between home visits and clinic visits and between high/middle and low socioeconomic classification (SEC). A nation-wide postal questionnaire sent to 800 first-time mothers yielded the data for statistical analysis. Data were collected using

Eighteen groups of guinea pigs were exposed to a simulated impact noise for periods of 1.5-24 h. The peak level was kept constant at 131.5 dB and the repetition rate was varied to give seven different equivalent levels (Leq) between 96 and 117 dB. The auditory thresholds were assessed by electrocochleography after 1 month and compared with those of a control group. Significant damage occurred even
Background: Several countries are discussing new legislation on the ban of smoking in public places, and on the acceptable levels of traffic-related air pollutants. It is therefore useful to estimate the burden of disease associated with indoor and outdoor air pollution. Methods: We have estimated exposure to Environmental Tobacco Smoke (ETS) and to air pollution in never smokers and ex-smokers in
Infrared and collinear safe event shape distributions and their mean values are determined in e(+)e(-) collisions at centre-of-mass energies between 45 and 202GeV. A phenomenological analysis based on power correction models including hadron mass effects for both differential distributions and mean values is presented. Using power corrections, alpha(s) is extracted from the mean values and shapes.
The Excellent University In just a few years, the quest for quality has become a concern of utmost priority in higher education. Universities, faculties, research councils and the National Agency for Higher Education regularly undertake evaluations to find out whether the academic work performed by university institutions is on “highest international level” or not. Ranking-lists are constantly pu
In this study full-scale experiments with two different conventional cooling-coils aimed for display cabinets were performed. Heat transfer and pressure drop on the liquid side for three different single phase secondary refrigerants were studied and compared to predictions by existing correlations. Predominantly, the laminar flow regime was studied. The results show that when predicting the heat t
