Bacteria and fungi are the main agents in decomposition of soil organic matter. Their activity is determined by the availability and quality of substrate, especially its content of carbon, but also nitrogen and phosphorus. Other environmental factors, which affect the activity of the microbial community in soil, are temperature, moisture and pH. In this thesis the focus was on how temperature and
Coastal hypoxia is increasing in the global coastal zone, where it is recognized as a major threat to biota. Managerial efforts to prevent hypoxia and achieve recovery of ecosystems already affected by hypoxia are largely based on nutrient reduction plans. However, these managerial efforts need to be informed by predictions on the thresholds of hypoxia (i.e. the oxygen levels required to conserve
Within administrative surveying work in Sweden, a transition to a client-centered team-based organization was made during 1998. The aim of this study was to describe the employees’ perceptions and expectations of job and organizational practices when working as a generalist in a client-centered team-based organization; job and organizational practices and well-being and effectiveness measures were
Abstract in Danish Nytter rollatorer og elkørestole? Mennesker med gangbesvær kan opleve manglende muligheder for at udføre aktiviteter, som er forudsætningen for at leve et godt liv og deltage i samfundslivet på lige fod med andre borgere. Desuden vil nedsat mobilitet føre til inaktivitet, der har helbredsmæssige konsekvenser. Derfor sættes der fra samfundets side ind med rehabilitering, blandt Rollator and powered wheelchair interventions are often applied to make participation possible for citizens with limited walking capacity. However, the research-based knowledge about outcomes is insufficient for societal prioritisation purposes and for quality development of assistive technology within occupational therapy contexts. In this thesis outcomes in terms of user satisfaction, participat
AimTo report on the International Collaboration of Orthopaedic Nursing, a mostly virtual network of orthopaedic nursing organizations across four continents. BackgroundFormed by leaders of three national associations, the collaboration is based on recognition of patient problems and challenges shared by orthopaedic nurses globally. Methods/InitiativesThe Collaboration provides a range of services
Background: Reported improvements in outcome in stroke patients treated in hospital are often attributed to advances in stroke care. However, secular trends in patient characteristics that are present already on admission to hospital may also contribute to improved outcome. Methods: Time trends for baseline data (289,854 stroke admittances) in Riks-Stroke, the Swedish national quality register for
The field of genetic diversity in protists, particularly phytoplankton, is under expansion. However, little is known regarding variation in genetic diversity within populations over time. The aim of our study was to investigate intrapopulation genetic diversity and genetic differentiation in the freshwater bloom-forming microalga Gonyostomum semen (Raphidophyceae). The study covered a 2-year perio
Our contemporary time is haunted by fabricated stories or so called “fake news”. Some of them are threatening the long-term work to promote health carried out by bodies, such as the WHO. The origin of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) being a contamination and a mutation originating from primates is well-documented. Despite this well documented fact, alternative narratives are often being heard o

Lean is a concept and methodology created and developed in the automobile industry. Today it has become widely used in public service organizations in Sweden. The aim of this study was to examine how the Swedish Migration Agency communicates about why and how they have adapted Lean. Furthermore, it investigates how the Swedish Migration Agency in this process try to make their organization legitim
Effekter från klimatförändringen och bekämpningsmedel på en av våra viktigaste jordbruksgrödor - Raps. Vår jord står inför svår prövning. Klimatförändringen och ökad användning av kemiska bekämpningsmedel inom jordbruksverksamheter är två kommande utmaningar för oss att hantera. Denna stress som jorden utsätts för kommer inte bara ha direkt påverkan på mänskligheten, utan även störa viktiga sampeOne of the most important ecosystem services is animal pollination, which has been found to increase both crop quantity and quality and hence is important for sustainable food production. To provide food to an increasing population, farming systems are intensifying to maintain high crop yields. However, stressors such as climate change and intensified agricultural production schemes may alter plan
Working with relationships and making use of what we commonly call emotions are common in the health and care professions. The purpose of this paper is to explore knowledge in health and care professions – especially in situations that involve strong feelings. Is there any kind of knowledge that gets lost in the process of fitting health and care work into an evidence-based or time-efficient templ
Social work is often described as a moral practice. In human service organisations social workers have room to evaluate and judge people with social problems. Thus, social work assumes processes of categorization and preconceptions of clients. These processes could have the consequence that client's individual characteristics are overlooked in favor of properties associated with the category t
Uppsatsen undersöker hur lagreglering av tiggeri har sett ut sedan sent 1800-tal fram till idag i Sverige. Övergripande syfte är att, utifrån ett rättsutvecklingsperspektiv, belysa rättens förändring över tiden. Från medeltiden till tidigt 1800-tal fanns regleringar av tiggeri ämnade att säkra arbetskraft till Sveriges begynnande industrialisering samt förhindra att allmänheten stördes. Syftet änThis thesis examines how statutory regulations of begging have looked like since late 19th century until today in Sweden. The overall purpose is to illustrate the change of regulations over time, from a law development perspective. From the Middle Ages to early 19th century, rules regarding begging existed in order to secure manpower for Sweden’s beginning industrialization and to prevent the pub
Överlåtelsedirektivet uttrycker att överlåtarens rättigheter och skyldigheter visavi de arbetstagaren som går över till förvärvaren ska övergå automatiskt och omedelbart. Det är inte tydligt huruvida detta inkluderar de rättigheter och skyldigheter som följer av nationell rätt. Principiellt ska Rom I-förordningen tillämpas på anställningsavtal, och tillämplig lag ändras. Det ter sig som om detta The Transfer of Undertakings Directive expresses that the transferor’s rights and obligations vis-à-vis the employee that are transferred to the transferee shall be transferred automatically and immediately. It’s not clear whether this includes the rights and obligations that are based on statutory law. In principle, the Rome I Regulation is applicable with regards to employment contracts, and th
BACKGROUND: Distress-driven symptoms are prevalent among older primary care patients and account for a large percentage of office visits and increased medical costs. An experimental written self-disclosure protocol has been shown to reduce symptoms and use of health care services in healthy adults. Written self-disclosure as a method for reducing symptoms has not been evaluated in the primary care
The significance of load modeling for voltage stability studies has been emphasized by several disturbances, which have taken place in the past years. They have shown that the loads in combination with other dynamics are among the main contributors of prolonged low voltage conditions, voltage instability and collapse in the power system. As a result of these disturbances new investigations have co
In retailing literature, shopping as a leisure-time enjoyment has typically been examined by the use of economic or psychological approaches. Consumers engaged in this activity have commonly been portrayed as one homogenous segment. Drawing upon a sociocultural approach, this study seeks to improve our understanding of leisure shopping as subjectively experienced. The article illustrates that leis
