Studies have indicated that females are more vulnerable to the deleterious effect of tobacco smoking than males. The current study aimed to investigate the associations between tobacco smoking and reported respiratory symptoms, self-rated health, and lung function by sex. In 1995-1997 65,225 subjects aged greater than or equal to 20 yrs (71% of invited) attended for screening within the Nord-Trond
Social capital is a psychosocial resource that has been found to have a profound effect on well-being and organizational performance. Research on social capital in Sweden is however lacking. The aim of the present thesis was to explore social capital in a Swedish organizational context and how it can be utilized in the new world of work. The thesis is divided into two studies. Study 1 aimed to do
This project is aimed to gain an overview of visually impaired people’s daily food experience and eating behaviors and to develop a design concept and product regarding the conclusion of the research. The project is composed of three phases. In the first part a general description and expected goal of the project is presented. The following section is research, including two methods: Literature r
Dyslexia is a problem that can limit someone’s life if the person does not receive the appropriate support in order to develop strategies to deal with it, and it is not limited to one’s first language. The first limitations appear early in life during the school years as the child struggles with literacy issues. It is in the educational environment where the child will receive the first support a

Therefore, the University needs to act in ne
Background: Two contradictory hypotheses have been proposed to explain the relationship between allergic conditions and malignancies, the immune surveillance hypothesis and the antigenic stimulation hypothesis. The former advocates that allergic conditions may be protective against development of cancer, whereas the latter proposes an increased risk. This relationship has been studied in several c
Boron-carbon (BxC) thin films are potential neutron converting layers for 10B-based neutron detectors. However, as common material choices for such detectors do not tolerate temperatures above 500 °C, a low temperature deposition route is required. Here, we study trimethylboron B(CH3)3 (TMB) as a single-source precursor for the deposition of BxC thin films by plasma CVD using Ar plasma. The effect
In computer graphics, there are numerous aspects that must be considered when rendering images of virtual scenes:What physical light-generating phenomena do we care about? How should object and material surfaces be described? And how should these be stored to ensure as fast and efficient image rendering as possible?As a part of this thesis, a method for rendering images of scenes lit by virtual at
This study aims to investigate how social media trends affect international trade through a study on the relationship between the global matcha tea trend and Japanese green tea exports. The study is performed in two steps, due to limitations in social media data access. Firstly, a time-series regression is used to analyse the relationship between global TikTok views and Google search intensity for
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a well-established, evidence-based treatment for common mental disorders such as depression, anxiety disorders, and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). However, treatment outcomes vary widely, and a substantial proportion of patients do not achieve sufficient improvement. Robust predictors of individual differences in symptom change are currently lacking. Gen
This dissertation examines the Fireburn revolt of 1878 on St. Croix in the Danish West Indies as both a historical event and a site of ongoing meaning-making. Rather than approaching Fireburn solely as a moment of post-emancipation labor unrest, the study investigates how the revolt has been archived, mediated, represented, and remembered across time and space, from the late nineteenth century to
Short-term wave prediction is a key enabling technology for advanced control of wave energy converters (WECs), where accurate knowledge of the incident wave field over one to a few wave periods can improve power capture, reduce structural loads, and support operational decision-making. Many existing prediction methods rely on measurements at the prediction point or dedicated up-wave sensors, which

Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingen undersöker vissa allmänna och särskilda problem beträffande straffsystemens roll, funktioner och struktur. Efter en inledande presentation av de ideologiska och metodologiska frågorna diskuteras hur olika folkrättsliga och nationalrättsliga jurisdiktionsprinciper kan rättfärdigas. Rekvisiten i en brottsdefinition analyseras sedan, med tyngdpunkten på det teThis book presents a study on general and specific problems concerning the role, functions and structure of criminal justice systems. After a presentation of some ideological and methodological issues, the justifications for different principles of criminal jurisdiction are discussed, both in the perspective of public international law and municipal law. The constituent elements of criminal offenc
This study investigates pathways by which the eicosanoid precursor pools in the platelets, bone marrow and the gastrointestinal (GI) mucosa are acquired and regulated, and in this context some aspects on the interaction between triglyceride (TG)-rich lipoproteins and platelets. 1. Platelets take up chylomicrons (CM) in vitro, the main part being sequestered in open canalicular system and not degr
This study is one of the first that investigated youth’s response to unwanted Internet experiences, not only for those youth who were bothered or distressed but for all youth who reported the experience. Three types of response were examined: telling someone about the incident and ending the unwanted situation by active or passive coping. Responses to the following unwanted Internet experiences we
The studies described in this thesis focus on the involvement of the two laminin G-type domains of vitamin K-dependent protein S in various biological contexts. The G-type domains are located in the C-terminal sex-hormone-binding globulin (SHBG)-like region. In human plasma, the majority of protein S circulates in a high-affinity complex with the complement regulatory protein C4b-binding protein (
The use of test coverage measures (e.g., block coverage) to control the software test process has become an increasingly common practice. This is justified by the assumption that higher test coverage helps achieve higher defect coverage and therefore improves software quality. In practice, data often shows that defect coverage and test coverage grow over time, as additional testing is performed. H
