Bakgrund: m.transversus abdominis (TrA) och m. multifidus (MF) har en stor roll i stabiliseringen av ryggraden under rörelse. Elektromyografi (EMG) kan användas för att registrera och värdera “Motor Unit Action Potentials”(MUAPs) i musklerna, vilket kan användas för att utvärdera muskelaktivitet. Unilaterala övningar (asymmetriska belastningar) tenderar att registrera högre muskelaktivitet i den s

Olagliga transaktioner i form av bland annat penningtvätt, insiderhandel och marknadsmanipulation är stora problem som ofta glöms bort. Bara under 2020 tvättades 1.6 biljoner dollar världen över, motsvarande 2.7\% av världens totala BNP. Insiderhandel och marknadsmanipulation bidrar till misstro för marknaden vilket gör att den till lägre grad kan allokera pengar till företag från investerare då fIllegal transactions in the form of money laundering, insider trading and market manipulation is a major problem that is often forgotten. In the year of 2020, 1.6 trillion dollars were successfully laundered, corresponding to 2.7\% of the world's total GDP. Insider trading and market manipulation contribute to mistrust of the market, resulting in worse capital distribution from investors to co

Popular Abstract in English Darwin’s masterpiece “On the origin of species” describes how populations (one group of individuals from the same species that can easily mate with each other and that occupy the same geographic area) evolve through the process of natural selection, which can be shortly abbreviated as the survival of the fittest. More specifically, the individuals within one population The gene (Pgi) encoding the enzyme phosphoglucose isomerase (PGI) which plays a central role in the main pathways of carbon metabolism has been shown to be of adaptive significance in a wide range of different species. Earlier studies of enzyme electromorph variation in the grass Festuca ovina suggest that variation in cytosolic PGI (PGIC) may be involved in the adaptive response of F. ovina to th

This paper presents a novel approach to the problem of designing autonomous agents that is based on the idea of anticipatory systems. An anticipatory system has a model of itself and of the relevant part of its environment and will use this model to predict the future. The predictions are then utilised to determine the agent’s behaviour, i.e. it lets future states affect its present states. We arg

Emissions of biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOC) are a chief uncertainty in calculating the burdens of important atmospheric compounds like tropospheric ozone or secondary organic aerosol, reflecting either imperfect chemical oxidation mechanisms or unreliable emission estimates, or both. To provide a starting point for a more systematic discussion we review here global isoprene and monoter

Altered microbial composition of the intestine, commonly referred to as dysbiosis, has been associated with several autoimmune diseases including primary Sjögren’s syndrome (pSS). The aims of the current study were to study the intestinal microbial balance in pSS and to identify clinical features associated with dysbiosis.

One important part of democratic consolidation is the institutionalisation of the party system and parties as they are central in that process. Party system institutionalisation in Africa has been a growing subject the last 20 years. In this paper I will present my theory and my findings from interviews with 24 interviewees including politicians, journalists and academia in Malawi during April and

In this study my aim has been to discover what connections can be made between the way of creating a library building and the general values concerning the library activities and the library users. What kind of ideology could possibly be reflected in a library room? My study includes two different parts. First of all there is a theoretical section based upon literature relevant for the subject. He

ObjectivesSexual satisfaction is a crucial part of sexual health and is positively related to well-being and quality of life. However, there are at present no composite measures of sexual satisfaction available in Swedish. The New Sexual Satisfaction Scale – Short form (NSSS-S) is a measure of sexual satisfaction that has been validated in multiple languages, and the aim of the present study is to

Objective: To gain deeper understanding of how teenage males view abortion, adolescent fatherhood, sexual behavior, and use of contraception. Method: We conducted six focus-group interviews with 17-year-old boys (n = 40). The interviews were tape-recorded, transcribed verbatim, and analyzed using manifest content analysis. Results: Adolescent fatherhood was considered to be a catastrophe and abort

Policy on greening freight constitutes a recent addition to the discourse on sustainability in the EU. To stimulate economic growth, the EU also plans for freight transport activity to grow significantly over the coming decades. In this paper, drawing on critical discourse analysis and Marxian geographical thought, I show how the argument for implementing sustainable freight is constructed in EU f

We examine key characteristics of the work tasks of judges and prosecutors from a power and status perspective, discerning how emotions tie into this perspective. Analysis of court observations, interviews and shadowing of judges and prosecutors at four Swedish district courts and prosecution offices shows that power and status operate differently for the respective professions, resulting in distiWe examine key characteristics of the work tasks of judges and prosecutors from a power and status perspective, discerning how emotions tie into this perspective.

Stress-induced hyperthermia (SIH) is commonly observed during handling in homeotherms. However, in birds, handling in cold environments typically elicits hypothermia. It is unclear whether this indicates that SIH is differently regulated in this taxon or if it is due to size, because body temperatures changes during handling in low temperature have only been measured in small birds ≤0.03 kg (that

Background: How we identify ourselves is strongly related to employment. Young adults are a vulnerable group with regard to entering the Labor market. If they also have mental health problems, entering becomes more difficult and increases risk of early marginalization. Nevertheless, working can be essential for personal recovery process. Aims: To explore experiences of young adults with mental hea
