Objective: A large number of different types of digital innovations for health and medical care have been developed in Sweden under the concept of eHealth. Employees’ interest is of great importance in determining the success of different new digital interventions and technologies. Purpose: In this study, we aimed to elucidate the nurses’ experiences as a first “gatekeeper” in an Internet-based Di

BACKGROUND: Sarcopenia increases as renal function declines and is associated with higher morbidity and mortality. Myostatin is a negative regulator of muscle growth. Its expression in response to exercise is unclear. In this prespecified substudy of the Renal Exercise (RENEXC) trial, we investigated the effects of 12 months of exercise training on sarcopenia, muscle mass and plasma myostatin and

AbstractThe need to minimise wear of hardmetal cutting tool materials requires an understanding of, and in turn accurate measurement of, both the external changes in dimensions and the internal microstructural changes which cause plastic deformation underneath the tool coating.This paper summarises development of methods to quantify the dimensional changes of the complex 3D tip shape of a tool and

This study aimed to investigate self-reported physical activity levels, perceived body appearance, and body functioning in relation to perceived wellbeing among adolescents. A cross-sectional survey was performed in four upper secondary schools in one municipality in southern Sweden. Data were obtained from questionnaires completed by 1,491 adolescents (55.4% females; median age 16; range 15–17 ye

A finite element analysis of a control rod blade consisting of B C powder and stainless steel cladding has been performed using the ADINA program. An algorithm for finite element calculations of a porous material such as BC powder has been developed. This algorithm describes both the swelling and consolidation behavior of BC powder. The Garson vield condition for isotropic porous medium with cavit

During the summer of 2018, a widespread drought developed over Northern and Central Europe. The increase in temperature and the reduction of soil moisture have influenced carbon dioxide (CO 2) exchange between the atmosphere and terrestrial ecosystems in various ways, such as a reduction of photosynthesis, changes in ecosystem respiration, or allowing more frequent fires. In this study, we charact

PURPOSE: Acquired chemoresistance is a frequent event in small cell lung cancer (SCLC), one of the deadliest human malignancies. Histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACi) have been shown to synergize with different chemotherapeutic agents including cisplatin. Accordingly, we aimed to investigate the dual targeting of HDAC inhibition and chemotherapy in SCLC.EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: The efficacy of HDACi

The high rate of disability pensioners is alarming in many industrial countries today. In Sweden the rate was 9.5% of the population aged 16-54 years in March 2005. Through new legislation, which came into force 2000, disability pensioners in Sweden are able to go back to work without jeopardising their benefit. This 'resting disability pension' was used by 0.2% of all disability pensioners in SweThe high rate of disability pensioners is alarming in many industrial countries today.

Enligt Newsecs rapport från 2016 söker företag idag kontor som har effektiv kontorsyta med stor flexibilitet vad det gäller både area och hyresavtal. Deras analys är att sådana kontor kommer fortsätta att efterfrågas. Vad som menas med flexibla hyresavtal är inget som är självklart i branschen men i detta examensarbete innebär sådana hyresavtal kortare hyrestider och mindre ytor för varje aktör soAccording to Newsec's report from 2016 companies are looking for offices that have efficient office space with great flexibility in terms of both area and lease. Their analysis is that such offices will continue to be demanded. What is meant by flexible real estate leases is nothing that is obvious in the industry but in this paper such leases mean less lease times and less space for each part

Bakgrund: Obesitas och psykisk ohälsa tillhör de största globala hälsoutmaningarna i modern tid och har under de senaste decennierna varit ett växande problem. Människor har fått en mer stillasittande livsstil och större tillgång på kaloririk föda. Faktorerna som påverkar prevalensen är många men att det behöver ske en förändring är säkert. Syfte och frågeställningar: Syftet var att kartlägga BMI,

Titel: Validering av en handledsburen aktivitetsmätare och en självskattningskala för beräkning av VO2max. Bakgrund: Fysisk aktivitet och god aerob kapacitet är kopplat till god hälsa och lägre risk för livsstilsrelaterade sjukdomar. I dagsläget anses maximalt arbetsprov med ergospirometri och gasanalys för bestämning av VO2max (VO2max-test) vara det mest exakta sättet att mäta aerob kapacitet. Su

Då klimatfrågan blir större och viktigare än någonsin är det viktigt att alla olika aktörer tar sitt ansvar och aktivt arbetar för ett bättre klimat. Byggsektorn har ett stort ansvar i denna fråga och något som kan minska utsläppen är just att minska energibehovet i byggnader. Genom att reducera köldbryggorna minskas även andelen energi som behövs för att värma upp en byggnad. Det är dock inte endAs the climate issue becomes more significant and critical than ever, it is essential that all different actors assume their responsibilities and actively work for a better climate. The construction sector has a great responsibility on this issue, and something that can reduce emissions is to reduce energy consumption in buildings. By reducing the thermal bridges, the proportion of energy needed t

Att länder anklagas för att bedriva otillåten underrättelseverksamhet under diplomatisk täckmantel är ett återkommande fenomen genom historien. Diplomati och underrättelseverksamhet har en lång och sammanflätad historia. Över tid har diplomatin och underrättelsetjänsterna haft ett ömsesidigt behov av varandras verksamheter. Institutionerna har samspelat, men också agerat som konkurrenter. ParallelCountries being accused of conducting clandestine intelligence activities under diplomatic cover is a recurring phenomenon throughout history. Diplomacy and intelligence have a long and intertwined history. Over time, diplomacy and intelligence services have had a mutual need for each other's activities, complementing each other but also acting as rivals in the professional field. The parallel

Today’s modern societies are becoming increasingly dependent on the vital societal functions that technical critical infrastructures provide, for example availability of electricity, tap water and internet connectivity. Hence, it is of essence that these infrastructures are resilient to interruptions. The purpose of this thesis is to investigate and contrast resilience levels of different types of
