Det är inte bara fukt, dålig ventilation eller andra tekniska faktorer, som är boven i dramat när människor upplever att de blir sjuka av innemiljön. Livssituation och livsstil kan också påverka.

We present a new study of deep star counts in the Local Group dwarf spheroidal (dSph) in Ursa Minor. Both the luminosity function (LF) and the color-magnitude diagram (CMD) of the unevolved stars are compared with the LF and CMD of the old, metal-poor globular cluster M92. The main sequence locations and turn-offs are identical within the errors. Since we. know from the brighter evolved stars that

Four exposures of Chicxulub impact ejecta along the Mexico-Belize border have been sampled and analyzed for major and trace element abundances. The ejecta deposits consist of a lower spheroid bed, containing clay and dolomite spheroids, and an upper diamictite bed with boulders and clasts of limestone and dolomite. The matrix of both beds is composed of clay and micritic dolomite. The rare earth e

A series of O2 and O3-derivatized methyl beta-d-talopyranosides were synthesized and evaluated in vitro as inhibitors of the galactose-binding galectin-1, -2, -3, -4 (N- and C-terminal domains), 8 (N-terminal domain), and 9 (N-terminal domain). Galectin-4C and 8N were found to prefer the d-talopyranose configuration to the natural ligand d-galactopyranose configuration. Derivatization at talose O2

Det får anses vara allmänt vedertaget att barn är en särskilt utsatt grupp världen över. Vid en bedömning av barns utsatthet är faktorer såsom flyktingskap och sjukdom av relevans. Sjuka flyktingbarn är således alldeles särskilt sårbara. Förståelsen för detta bör genomsyra all lagstiftning som rör barn, där barnets bästa ska sättas i främsta rummet. Denna uppsats har haft till syfte att undersökIt is generally accepted that children are a particularly vulnerable group all over the world. When assessing childrens’ vulnerability, factors such as health and refugee status are very important ones, meaning sick children are to be considered as very exposed. The understanding of this should permeate every law concering children, where the best interest of the child should be put first. The p

BAKGRUND: Hos den äldre befolkningen är det vanligt med minnessvårigheter som påverkar uppmärksamhet och andra kognitiva funktioner. Detta kan vara tecken på utveckling av mild kognitiv svikt (MCI), vilken kan leda till demens. Motivation till förändring har visat sig vara betydelsefull för rehabilitering. Ett formulär som mäter denna är “Motivation for Change Questionnaire (MCQ). Formuläret har

Design, as a principal function for innovation in business, governments, and other social units, can play a critical role in creating sustainable solutions. While current debates acknowledge expanding design scope and continuing competencies that distinctively qualify design professionals for undertaking sustainability challenges, design schools in higher education institutions are struggling to m

The purpose of this study is to quantitatively investigate the moderating effect of consumers' need for uniqueness (NFU) in the relationship between perceived brand stereotypes, brand emotions, and perceived customer value. The study follows a quantitative research method with a sample-survey research design, where hypotheses have been developed supported by a theoretical framework. Data was c

This analysis explores the seemingly paradoxical and fairly common phenomenon occurring in films where underachieving slacker characters are portrayed as good role-models giving advice to ambitious protagonists aspiring success. By juxtaposing 15 diverse films in which a slacker helps the protagonist, observations of similarities and explications concludes this investigation to four categories con

The VUCA world we face today, proposes challenges for individuals with a high Need for Closure (NFC) as they may experience decreased well-being when faced with uncertainty and ambiguity. This in turn creates a problem for organizations as their employees with a high NFC may struggle to come up with innovative solutions to the complexity they are facing, making it difficult for the organization to

År 2022 genomfördes den största reformen av lagen (1982:80) om anställningsskydd (anställningsskyddslagen) någonsin. Processen var historisk eftersom ändringarna grundades i en överenskommelse mellan arbetsmarknadens parter, Huvudavtal om trygghet, omställning och anställningsskydd. Förhandlingarna bakom huvudavtalet pågick under flera år. Parterna bakom huvudavtalet hade en tydlig vision för hur In 2022, the largest ever reform of the Employment Protection Act was implemented. The historic process was based on an agreement between the labour market parties, the Main Agreement on Security, Adjustment and Employment Protection. The negotiations of the main agreement lasted for several years. The parties of the main agreement had a clear vision for how the employment protection would be modi

Formativ bedömning (FB) är ett arbetssätt som bidrar till både främjandet av elevers lärande och utveckling av undervisningen. Tidigare forskning har rapporterat om bland annat missuppfattningar kring FB och såväl förtjänster som utmaningar med implementering av FB. I denna studie undersöker vi matematiklärares uppfattningar om och upplevelser av FB och utgår från Black och Wiliams modell för impl

With the growing integration of renewable energy sources into the power grid, new challenges for system stability have emerged. To address this, the European Union has introduced a regulation called Requirements for Generators (RfG). This regulation sets specific performance standards, one of which is a minimum critical clearing time related to faults. Some production facilities with low inertial

The Ararat Valley, being the cereal basket of Armenia and Turkey, is in danger with over-abstracted groundwater, which already induces colossal water loss and land subsidence. In the current work, advanced remote sensing techniques and machine learning models are applied to predict subsidence and give datadriven recommendations to effect sustainable water management. The tracking of terrain change

Hållbarhet och cirkulärt byggande blir alltmer centrala i Sveriges miljömål, men implementeringen av Design för Demontering (DfD) är fortfarande begränsad. Denna studie undersöker de ekonomiska, regulatoriska och tekniska hinder som försvårar en storskalig tillämpning av DfD i den svenska byggsektorn samt identifierar strategier för att påskynda dess genomförande. Studien bygger på kvalitativ

Payments for ecosystem services (PES), a mechanism of incentives or compensation to landowners for provision of ecosystem services, have grown as a tool for meeting conservation goals. The Costa Rican payments for ecosystem services (PSA) program is one of the best-known examples because of being one of the most established. Despite this, the PSA program and many other PES programs do not monitor

Sustainable development requires collaboration between governments, businesses, and citizens. However, economic models, sustainability practices, and global policies are currently not fit-for-purpose to maintain global temperatures to 1.5 degrees centigrade within the timescales required to maintain a safe space for humanity to thrive. This study maps the alignment of business values and practices
