Self-service technology (SST) is implemented in-store as a way of facilitating and enhancing customer experience in which value is co-created. Previous research on SSTs has been mainly conducted in utilitarian settings where discussions were inclined towards attributes of value-in-use with an emphasis on efficiency. However, when implemented in a hedonic retail setting such as fast fashion, co-cre
Uppsatsen behandlar lagen (2017:310) om framtidsfullmakter, dess bakgrund, innehåll och verkningar. Institutet framtidsfullmakt är tänkt att stärka den enskildes möjligheter att styra över sin framtid i fall av försämrad mental kapacitet. Upprättandet av en framtidsfullmakt ska ske då den enskilde har beslutskompetens men träder i kraft först efter att denna kapacitet har gått förlorad till följd This thesis revolves around the law (2017: 310) on continuing powers of attorney; its background, content and effects. The continuing power of attorney is intended to strengthen an individual's ability to control their future in cases of impaired mental capacity. In order to establish a continuing power of attorney, the individual must hold a decision-making competence. However, the act only c
Course: SMTX07, Master level. 15 hp. Spring 2010 Authors: Amir Amini Harati, Nosherwan Bajwa, Daniel Djukic Title: Emotional management – A painful necessity Fellow advisor: Jan E. Persson, Carl R.

Our master thesis concerns the discussions of self-service libraries in Swedish and Danish daily press. Our research questions are: What attitudes and perceptions can be observed in the media coverage of self-service libraries in Sweden and Denmark? Which values are conveyed as the governing in the introduction of self-service libraries? How does the media coverage reflect the role of the libraria
Background and Objectives: With an ageing population, the number of older persons with substance use problems, particularly problematic alcohol use, is increasing. Despite growing recognition of the negative consequences of problematic alcohol use on older persons, there is a dearth of knowledge about the alcohol use profiles and the dimensionality of alcohol problems in older people. Moreover, l
ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: Although the heritability of atrial fibrillation (AF) has been determined, the relevance of family history of AF for the likelihood of recurrent hospitalization for AF is unknown. The aim of this nationwide study was to determine whether family history of AF is a risk factor of recurrent hospitalization for lone AF (LAF), i.e., AF with unknown etiology. The familial risk f
Background: Levodopa-carbidopa intestinal gel (LCIG; Duodopa®) is used for continuous infusion in advanced Parkinson's disease. To achieve optimal effect, the LCIG dose is individually titrated, traditionally conducted during hospitalization in Sweden. However, dose adjustment depends on surrounding conditions, physical activity, and emotional stress, which is why titration at home could be benefi
Background: Genome and transcriptome sequencing has greatly facilitated the understanding of biomass-degrading mechanisms in a number of fungal species. The information obtained enables the investigation and discovery of genes encoding proteins involved in plant cell wall degradation, which are crucial for saccharification of lignocellulosic biomass in second-generation biorefinery applications. T
Background: Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a common and potentially severe disease. Early identification of severity grade is crucial for the outcome of the patient. For study approaches and comparison of inter-institutional data the AP patients need to be uniformly classified.The aims of this thesis were to investigate the early stratifiation capacity of biomarkers in AP and to assess the morphologic
A Quality Scorecard (QSC) performance measurement model is proposed to evaluate the quality aspects of an organization in Industry 4.0. To design a QSC for the ‘Fourth Industrial Revolution’, we examined existing measures regarding costs of quality items. The measurement system was refined by simplifying duplicate measures and incorporating quality elements considered in recent international stand
Aims and objectives: To describe ways in which children's best interests were observed to be expressed in paediatric settings during their hospital visit.Background: The best interests of the child are embodied in national and international legal systems, although the definition remains problematic. The child's limited autonomy mandates duty bearers to have both a child perspective and the child's
The advent of PET ligands that bind tau pathology has enabled the quantification and visualization of tau pathology in aging and in Alzheimer disease (AD). There is strong evidence from neuropathologic studies that the most widely used tau PET tracers (i.e., 18F-flortaucipir, 18F-MK6240, 18F-RO948, and 18F-PI2620) bind tau aggregates formed in AD in the more advanced (i.e., ≥IV) Braak stages.

Urban tourism depends on the place specific qualities of destinations. In many cities, climate change poses a threat to these qualities, through increasing risk of excessive heat, draught and flooding. Cities need to adapt to reduce these risks. One way of doing this is to improve their green infrastructure. Urban forests, parks, rivers and wetlands may help reduce the effects of climate change in
Aims/hypothesis: The aim of this study was to assess the interaction between genetic risk and lifestyle intervention on the occurrence of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and postpartum diabetes. Methods: The RADIEL study is an RCT aimed at prevention of GDM and postpartum diabetes through lifestyle intervention. Participants with a BMI ≥30 kg/m2 and/or prior GDM were allocated to intervention
Objective: To compare a wearable device, the Fitbit Versa (FV), to a validated portable single-channel EEG system across multiple nights in a naturalistic environment. Methods: Twenty participants (10 men and 10 women) aged 25–67 years were recruited for the present study. Study duration was 14 days during which participants were asked to wear the FV daily and nightly. The study intended to reprod
