Syfte & mål: Syftet med examensarbetet är att undersöka hur Peter Senges teori om den lärande organisationen (de fem disciplinerna) kan tillämpas för att effektivisera implementeringen av en ny digital plattform i byggbranschen. Problemställning: Vilka styrkor och svagheter finns för Senges fem discipliner vid implementeringen av ACC inom Skanska? Hur kan Skanska säkerställa en effektiv imple
BACKGROUND: Limbic-predominant age-related TDP-43 encephalopathy (LATE) clinically mimics and often co-occurs with Alzheimer's disease (AD). Expert consensus criteria have been proposed for the LATE clinical diagnosis, integrating clinical and radiological features, and AD biomarkers. Here, we applied the newly proposed criteria in a tertiary memory clinic population. METHOD: We included participa
The Unified Glare Rating (UGR) method defined by the International Commission on Illumination is practically the only one used for evaluation of discomfort glare in the lighting design process. However, it is unclear if this method aligns with subjective discomfort glare measures using subjective glare indexes (SGIs). We compared calculated UGR values with commonly used subjective discomfort glare
An analytical model to describe the time-domain reflectance Raman signal in a two-layer diffusive medium was developed. The accuracy of the model is verified by comparison with the results of Monte Carlo simulations.
Single-cell technologies have transformed our understanding of cellular heterogeneity through multimodal data acquisition. However, robust cell alignment remains a major challenge for data integration and harmonization, including batch correction, label transfer, and multi-omics integration. Many existing methods constrain alignment based on rigid feature-wise distance metrics, limiting their abil
Aims Academic journals are essential for advancing knowledge, yet gender disparities in orthopaedic authorship persist. While most previous studies focus authorship trends on mainly North American journals, this study analyzes gender distribution among primary and senior authors, along with the geographical origins of articles, in three orthopaedic journals based in Europe and North America. Metho
Background: Agroecology integrates ecological agricultural production with community self-reliance, deeply rooted in indigenous knowledge. This study investigates how and why women in Zimbabwe contribute to seed preservation in agroecology, and what challenges they face in sustaining traditional seed systems. Using a qualitative approach combining focus group discussions, semi-structured interview
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) in biofluids are heterogeneous in origin, surface protein expression, and biomolecular cargo. Isolation of specific EV subpopulations may enable studies of biomarkers originating from specific cell phenotypes and disease states. Acoustic trapping is a rapid, automatable EV isolation technique requiring minimal sample preprocessing; however, it lacks the specificity nee
Electric power is the foundation of modern society, yet Europe is currently facing an energy crisis, increasing interest in power generation, energy infrastructure, and grid resilience. However, power plant data are complex and multidimensional, making it difficult to gain an overview or understanding. Visualization methods can help to reduce cognitive load and facilitate exploration of such data.
Background: Early-life growth adversity is important to later-life health, but precision assessment in adulthood is challenging. We evaluated whether the difference between attained and genotype-predicted adult height (“height-GaP”) would associate with prospectively ascertained early-life growth adversity and later-life all-cause and cardiovascular mortality. Methods: Data were first analyzed fro
Background/Objective: Genetic factors contribute significantly to Parkinson’s disease (PD), especially in cases with early onset or positive family history. However, previous investigations of the genetic landscape in PD populations were mainly based on targeted genotyping. The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of pathogenic variants in known PD-associated genes in a series of Sw
Cooperativity is an efficient way for nature to regulate complex processes, allowing for control over a narrower range of concentrations compared to noncooperative phenomena. Here, we investigate the cooperative binding of α-Synuclein to lipid membranes under different conditions, aiming to uncover the underlying molecular driving forces. We interrogate the role of electrostatic interactions by ra
Recent advancements in integrated chemical microsystems have significantly enhanced the efficiency and precision of chemical synthesis. However, limitations in current materials and fabrication technologies pose challenges to developing robust flow regulation essential for system operation and scalability. This study presents a cleanroom-free, surface-modification-free bonding method for fabricati
Ultrashort bunch length measurements are crucial for characterizing electron beams in short-pulse accelerators, including novel accelerators like EuPRAXIA and those used for free-electron lasers (FELs). This work provides an overview of the design process and the current status of a single-shot bunch length monitor prototype based on a broadband spatial imaging system for coherent transition radia
Bullying is increasingly understood as a group-based phenomenon in which bystanders play a critical role, yet little is known about how witnessing bullying affects bystanders’ self-esteem and academic motivation. The aim of this study was to explore adolescents’ perspectives on how witnessing bullying in school may be linked to their self-esteem and academic motivation. This qualitative study expl
In rare disease research, sharing of individual health data is essential for advancing diagnostics and therapies, requiring robust and ethically sound informed consent processes. Within the Genomic Medicine Sweden Rare Diseases (GMS-RD) multicenter study, an electronic informed consent (eConsent) platform was developed to support data sharing, facilitate participation and enable research engagemen
