In this paper I argue against the traditional view that truth-making distributes over entailment and present a novel account that takes truth-making to distribute over grounding between the existence of facts, thereby avoiding the shortcomings of the traditional view.
OBJECTIVES: To investigate whether the association between pain intensity and willingness to undergo surgery is explained by walking difficulties, in patients with knee or hip osteoarthritis (OA).METHODS: This is an observational study using data from the Better management of patients with Osteoarthritis (BOA) register, which collects data from a publicly financed self-management programme for peo
Serial femtosecond crystallography was initially developed for room-temperature X-ray diffraction studies of macromolecules at X-ray free electron lasers. When combined with tools that initiate biological reactions within microcrystals, time-resolved serial crystallography allows the study of structural changes that occur during an enzyme catalytic reaction. Serial synchrotron X-ray crystallograph
Acrolein, as one of the most hazardous aldehydes, can be formed among the carbonyls from the combustion of bio-fuels or mixtures of bio- and conventional fuels. Moreover, acrolein is also an important combustion intermediate in the oxidations of higher unsaturated hydrocarbons. A deep understanding of acrolein combustion chemistry will be useful for the kinetic modeling of higher hydrocarbons and
Background: Policies that promote aging in place are common in Sweden and many other countries. However, the current housing stock cannot sufficiently accommodate a population aging in place considering how functional capacity and housing needs change as people age. To be suitable for all regardless of their functional ability, housing should be designed or adapted to facilitate the performance of
Stressful or traumatic memories of an intensive care stay may lead to long-term psychological morbidity. Memory assessment is therefore essential to aid in the patients’ recovery process. Acknowledging the large cohort of post ICU patients during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, a simple tool for the evaluation of ICU memories is needed. The aim of this study was, therefore, to develop and test the validi
Fell, from the Prescription Medicines Code of Practice Authority (PMCPA), the self-regulatory body of the Association of the British Pharmaceutical Industry (ABPI), agrees with our overarching point that healthcare professionals and organisations have an important role in responding to any formal sanctions that are applied by the PMCPA and ABPI.12 For healthcare professionals and organisations to
While a broad spectrum of technologies is integrated in everyday life and routines, most research on ageing, health and technology has focused on attitudes toward and adoption of digital technologies including e-health, or home based monitoring systems. The aim of this study was to explore differences and similarities in attitudes and experiences with different types of technologies and developmen
Ett av Sveriges klimat- och energipolitiska mål avser effektivare energianvändning. Ett sätt att uppnå målet är genom kravställning på energihushållning vid renovering av byggnader. I de fall då det med hänsyn till byggnadens kultur- och arkitektoniska värde inte går att tillämpa beprövade metoder får andra alternativa metoder sökas. En sådan annan alternativ metod är en dubbelskalfasad och innebäOne of Sweden's political objective is to increase energy efficiency. One way to achieve the objective is by making demands on the use of energy after a building has been renovated. Regarding the building's cultural and architectural values there are cases where it is not possible to apply proven methods to meet the demands, and other alternative methods must be sought. Such an alternative
This paper examines the relationship between ultra-low interest rates and the amount of zombie firms using panel data for Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Finland over the period 2007-2020 in a multivariable regression model. Specifically, the questions addressed are: is there a relationship between the interest rate and the amount of zombie firms? Could it be concluded that the amount of zombie firms
The importance of indigenous knowledges has been acknowledged in biodiversity conservation, but practical engagement with them in decision-making is still lacking. In this thesis, I study this contradiction in the context of Finland and the indigenous Sámi. By conducting a case study on how Sámi traditional knowledge (STK) is addressed in the ongoing Nature Conservation Act reform, I politicize Fi
Sammanfattning Vid alla frågor om vårdnad, boende och umgänge ska principen om barnets bästa vara avgörande. Det framgår av 6 kap. 2a § föräldrabalken, FB. Relevant när frågan om ändring i vårdnaden uppstår är även bestämmelsen i 6 kap. 5 § andra stycket FB. Bestämmelsen har ändrats flera gånger under 2000-talet i syfte att stärka barnperspektivet. Av gällande lydelse framgår att föräldrars förmågSummary For questions according to chapter 6 in the Parental code the principle of the best interests of the child should be decisive. This is stated in chapter 6 paragraph 2a in the Parental Code. Relevant when a parent wants to make changes in the custody is the provision in chapter 6 paragraph 5 second part in the Parental Code. The provision has changed several times during the 2000s in order
Bakgrund: Målet med rehabilitering är att hjälpa personer med funktionsnedsättning att återvända till sina vardagsaktiviteter och leva ett så bra liv som möjligt utifrån personens förutsättningar. Virtual Reality (VR) används i hälso-och sjukvården, bland annat inom strokerehabilitering. Syfte: Hur upplever vuxna patienter med funktionsnedsättning och rehabiliteringspersonal VR vid rehabilitering?Background: The purpose of rehabilitation is to support people with disabilities to return to their everyday activities and live as good a life as possible. For a rehabilitation process to be successful the patient needs to feel motivated. Virtual Reality (VR) is used in healthcare within e.g. stroke rehabilitation. Aim/Purpose: How do adult patients with disabilities and clinicians experience VR
There is always talk of climate change in the future, but climate change is already present in all its facets. Intense droughts, water scarcity, severe fires, rising sea levels, floods, melting polar ice, catastrophic storms, and the decline of biodiversity are already visible. The city of Munich is no exception, as problems like heat, drought, and heavy rain increasingly have to be dealt with. We
In September of 2017, the Swedish government introduced a proposal for a new Consultation Act that would require the government and other state agencies to consult with the indigenous Sami people on issues of importance to them. The aim of the proposed law is to strengthen and promote the influence of the Sami people over their own affairs. This thesis analyses whether the proposal is in line with
The work for this thesis was conducted at a department of Sony Mobile Communications, with the purpose of incorporating regression testing into the daily workflow of developers. Today regression testing is conducted by executing a test suite of approximately 58 000 tests to verify modifications done to code. Because of the long runtime, execution occurred during the night after modifications were
