This thesis concerns the patterns of organization visible within the context that is the Scanian runestones in relation to roads, organized clustering and energy-conservativity. As well as the digital methods increasingly used to analyze such patterns. Using FMIS databases and LIDAR-elevation data it analyses the long, spread out lines of runestones visible in the landscape through GIS spatial-sta
Physical therapy and social interactions between the stroke patient and healthcare professionals or relatives facilitate the process of recovery and promote improvement of lost neurological function after stroke. These observations can be mimicked in an experimental setting by multimodal stimulation provided in the concept of enriched environment. The enriched environment is a housing condition co
INTRODUCTION: Patient simulation can be useful for medical students in developing communication skills for vulnerable situations. Three participants are primarily involved in the patient simulation activities: the student, the simulated patient (SP), and the teacher. We here aimed to explore these participants' perceptions of learning in a patient simulation scenario.METHODS: We conducted individu
Importance: Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), wherein a generalized epileptic seizure is induced, is a treatment for major depressive disorder (MDD). Currently, it is unclear whether there is an association between seizure length and treatment outcome. Objective: To explore the association between seizure duration, potential confounding variables, and ECT treatment outcome. Design, Setting, and Par
BACKGROUND: While the importance of involving older people in research is increasingly acknowledged, quantitative studies exploring the perspectives of larger samples of older people who take an active role in research on ageing and health are scarce. The aim of this study was to investigate the awareness of and attitudes towards public involvement in research on ageing and health among older peop
Background: Studies have shown that ambient air pollution is linked to preeclampsia (PE), possibly via generation of oxidative stress in the placenta. Telomere length and mitochondrial DNA copy number (mtDNAcn) are sensitive to oxidative stress damage.Objective: To study the association between prenatal exposure to ambient nitrogen oxides (NOx, a marker for traffic-related air pollution), and PE,
Experimental data on pulmonary regurgitation has linked right ventricular longitudinal function to left ventricular filling pressure in animals with induced and treated pulmonary regurgitation but this relationship has not been investigated in patients with repaired Tetralogy of Fallot (rToF). The aim of this study was to determine if right ventricular longitudinal function assessed using cardiova
This article discusses an important panel held at ICIS 2011 in Shanghai to mark over thirty years of an ICIS institution, the ICIS Women's Breakfast. The panel addressed the controversial question-is there still a need for the ICIS Women's Breakfast? Panelists were asked if the ICIS Women's Breakfast could be seen as divisive, and if women's issues are different from issues of diversity such as ra
Purpose: Since 2006, higher education institutions (HEIs) in Sweden, should according to the Higher Education Act, promote sustainable development (SD). In 2016, the Swedish Government asked the Swedish higher education authority to evaluate how this study is proceeding. The authority chose to focus on education. This paper aims to produce a report on this evaluation. Design/methodology/approach:
PURPOSE: We know that pain has far-reaching detrimental effects across various life-domains and also affects health related quality of life after solid organ transplantation. However, the extent to which heart recipients experience chronic bodily pain in the years after heart transplantation is a neglected field. Pain is reported to be a major problem after other types of solid organ transplantati
PURPOSE: The knowledge is scarce regarding how recovery and well-being after lung transplantation is affected by various symptoms. Thus, little is known about self-management support for these recipients. Since fatigue is a symptom that severely impair well-being, the aim of this study was to explore associations between fatigue and influencing factors as perceived self-efficacy, social and psycho

Gruvdrift i yttre rymden har under de senaste åren vuxit fram som en reell möjlighet. Privata företag ligger i bräschen med att utveckla ny teknik för att uppnå utnyttjandet av resurser i yttre rymden. De rättsliga förutsättningarna är fortfarande ett hinder för sådana aktiviteter då de stora rymdfördragen inte uttryckligen förbjuder eller tillåter det. Problemet kring denna typ av gruvdrift har aMining in outer space has in recent years emerged as a real possibility. Private companies are at the forefront of developing new technology to achieve the exploitation of resources in outer space. The legal conditions are still a barrier because of that the large space treaties do not expressly prohibit or allows such a venture. The problem surrounding this type of mining has materialized even mo
TOYS & MEMORIES What makes some toys great? This was the question that started this entire project. When remembering toys from ones childhood there are always some toys that are more commonly referenced. Were these toys “the best toys” and more importantly: what traits made them better, and can they be replicated? A toy is something created with the main purpose of being a catalyst for ones i
This study aims to explore how family therapists in social services perceive and describe quality in their work with family support, and how their experience and knowledge contribute to the quality of their practical work. The study was conducted through qualitative, semi-structured interviews with family therapists working within social services. The results reveal that professionals define quali
Haematopoietic stem cell (HSC) self-renewal is a process that is essential for the development and homeostasis of the blood system. Self-renewal expansion divisions, which create two daughter HSCs from a single parent HSC, can be harnessed to create large numbers of HSCs for a wide range of cell and gene therapies, but the same process is also a driver of the abnormal expansion of HSCs in diseases
We investigated the role of cultural experience in the search advantage for happy faces. European British participants living in the UK, Asian Japanese participants living in Japan, and Asian Japanese participants living in the UK, were required to search for a happy or an angry face target against a background of neutral facial expressions, using Asian Japanese and European American faces. Result
Research on climate change obstruction has often focused on what has been called the Climate Change Countermovement, the CCCM. While the term originated from the social movements literature – acknowledging the movement-countermovement dynamics – it has in climate obstructionist research often been described as a relatively fixed entity connected to the vested interests of the fossil fuel industry
