Background: People with severe mental illness (SMI) living in supported housing (SH) struggle in everyday life and we currently lack a comprehensive body of knowledge concerning how the residents experience their day. This paper aimed to gain knowledge about how people with SMI describe a day in SH in Sweden, in particular the activities they most frequently engage in and how they experience what
A number of health effects have been linked to exposure to airborne particles, however the consequences of exposure to ultrafine particles is largely unknown. Ultrafine particles can be emitted from different indoor activities or be of the outdoor origin. This is further complicated by the fact that we are spending majority of the time indoors. The aim of this work was to assess the influence of r
In addition to a rise in mean air and water temperatures, more frequent and intense extreme climate events (such as heat waves) have been recorded around the globe during the past decades. These environmental changes are projected to intensify further in the future, and we still know little about how they will affect ecological processes driving harmful cyanobacterial bloom formation. Therefore, w

Papineau's diagnosis of the "intuition of distinctness" IS THE MYSTERY AN ILLUSION? PAPINEAU ON THE PROBLEM OF CONSCIOUSNESS Pär Sundström Department of Philosophy and Linguistics, Umeå University Par.Sundstrom@philos.umu.se ABSTRACT: A number of philosophers have recently argued that (i) consciousness properties are identical with some set of physical or functional properties and that (ii) we can

This degree project focuses primarily on the requirements related to energy and the environment that are associated with buildings. As a small contribution towards a more sustainable society, piping insulation used for insulating heating or cooling systems has been studied. During the lifetime of a building, these systems can result in large energy losses that cause significant environmental impac
Author: Lovisa Ottoson & Lykke Olsson Title: To become a parent in a forbidden way - a qualitative study on single mothers by choice in Sweden who have children through assisted reproduction Supervisor: Roberto Scaramuzzino Assessor: Frans Oddner The purpose of this study is to examine how single mothers by choice experience that norms in our society affects them. It is interesting to see how
This thesis explores the patterns of shared e-scooter usage in the cities of Oslo and Stockholm, with a focus on understanding how these trips relate to public transport services. While e-scooter usage has soared during the last decade, policy makers, urban and transportation planners attempt to understand this new phenomenon and its effect to public transport. Geographic Information Systems (GIS)
Deforestation, mainly driven by agricultural expansion, is a global problem, interlinked with many pressing sustainability issues of our time, first and foremost, climate change. Previous private corporate initiatives and public policies such as FLEGT and the EUTR have not succeeded in overturning the trend. As a response to that, EU deforestation regulation was developed as the new demand-side po
Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to study the adaptation of recently recruited young professionals to a top consulting firm through their identity construction efforts. We analyze the influence of a major organization-related discourse on young professionals in order to account for the effects of emotional labor on their adaptation to work. Methodology: We have studied our empirical material
Mitt syfte med uppsatsen är att undersöka hur väl forensikers egen uppfattning om vad de bör uttala sig om och vad de inte bör uttala sig om stämmer överens med en idealbild av expertrollen. Mot bakgrund av syftet ställdes elva påståenden till 50 forensiska experter vid Nationellt forensiskt centrum (NFC) i form av en enkätundersökning. De sätt på vilka forensiker kan avvika från idealet som testaMy purpose with this thesis is to examine how well forensic experts` understanding of what they should and should not express opinions on is in accordance with an idealized view of the expert role. Given my purpose with the thesis, eleven statements were presented in a survey to 50 forensic experts working at the Swedish National Forensic Centre (NFC). Two deviations from the ideal view of an expe
The climate-driven encroachment of shrubs into the Arctic is accompanied by shifts in soil fungal communities that could contribute to a net release of carbon from tundra soils. At the same time, arctic grazers are known to prevent the establishment of deciduous shrubs and, under certain conditions, promote the dominance of evergreen shrubs. As these different vegetation types associate with contr

Ledarskap har beskrivits som ett undflyende fenomen – en (positiv) lösning som kan kopplas till nästintill alla problem, men är svårt att fånga när det händer. Karisma, transformation och extraordinärisering utgör synsätt på ledarskap där särskilda individer tillskrivs extraordinära egenskaper, men de har inte fångat hur detta görs i vardagliga interaktioner. Ledarskap som praktik och ledarskap i Leadership has been described as a disappearing phenomenon – a (positive) solution that can be attached to almost any problem, yet it is difficult to capture as it happens. Charisma, transformation, and extra-ordinarization are perspectives on leadership where certain individuals are ascribed extraordinary qualities, but this is not captured analytically in everyday interactions. However, Leadersh
This thesis is based on five studies. It includes the characterization of lipid micro emboli in shed mediastinal blood during cardiac surgery. The reuse of blood directly by cardiotomy suction is a common practice in order to reduce the need of blood transfusions. In shed mediastinal blood we showed that there is an abundance of lipid particles in the size range of 10-60μm. These lipid particles a
This study uses a 12-year time series (2001-2012) of eddy covariance measurements to investigate the long-term net ecosystem exchange (NEE) of carbon dioxide (CO2) and inter-annual variations in relation to abiotic drivers in a boreal fen in northern Sweden. The peatland was a sink for atmospheric CO2 in each of the twelve study years with a 12-year average (+/- standard deviation) NEE of -58 +/-
We used an extensive dataset (1220 vegetation plots of 1 m(2)) to study vegetation gradients and fine-scale plant diversity in dry calcareous grasslands (including alvar grasslands) in the Baltic Sea region. The study area covers the entire European distributional range of alvar habitats: Sweden (Oland, Gotland, Gotaland), Estonia (Saaremaa, Hiiumaa, north Estonia, west Estonia), and western Russi
The aim of the present study is to study the Abscopal regression of subcutaneously implanted N29 rat glioma after immunization with syngeneic IFNg secreting cells and treatment of contra-lateral tumours with pulsed electric fields (PEF) and/or radiation therapy (RT). The study was performed on rats of the Fischer-344 strain with rat glioma N29 tumours implanted subcutaneously on the flank or on bo
Context: The first therapeutic cancer vaccine demonstrating effectiveness in a phase 3 study was approved by the US Food and Drug Administration on 29 April 2010. The pivotal trial demonstrated overall survival (OS) benefit in patients treated with antigen-loaded leukapheresis cells compared with a control infusion. Results of other prostate cancer (PCa) vaccination strategies are awaited, as this
Improved management of agricultural soils to sequester carbon from the atmosphere is considered an important climate mitigation measure. Intensive agriculture often leads to degradation of soil organic carbon (SOC), contributing to climate change and loss of soil ecosystem services. Interventions in agricultural management can halt or reverse the loss of SOC. Annual SOC change rates for interventi
