A variational approach, based on a discrete representation of the chain, is used to calculate free energy and conformational properties in polyelectrolytes. The true bond and Coulomb potentials are approximated by a trial isotropic harmonic energy containing force constants between all monomer-pairs as variational parameters. By a judicious choice of representation and the use of incremental matri

Purpose: The aim of this study was to describe clients' experiences of a work rehabilitation process. Method: Ten clients who had participated in work-related rehabilitation at a rehabilitation centre in the northern parts of Sweden were interviewed using a narrative approach. The interviews were analysed using qualitative content analysis focusing on clients' descriptions of the goals, contents a

Purpose: With longer life expectancies, the prevalence of arrhythmias is increasing; thus, there is a need for new methods to screen the older outpatient population. This population-based study describes the prevalence of arrhythmias in 200 outpatients aged ≥66 years. We also investigated the feasibility of wireless long-term recording (LTR) using the ECG-BodyKom®. Methods: Two hundred elderly per

Background: The view of delirium has changed considerably over the last decade, and delirium is now a very topical issue within the intensive care unit (ICU) setting. Delirium has proved to be common in critically ill patients and is manifested as acute changes in mental status with reduced cognitive ability, incoherent thought patterns, impaired consciousness, agitation and acute confusion. In or

Background: Awareness about adequate sedation in mechanically ventilated patients has increased in recent years. The use of a sedation scale to continually evaluate the patient's response to sedation may promote earlier extubation and may subsequently have a positive effect on the length of stay in the intensive care unit (ICU). The Richmond Agitation-Sedation Scale (RASS) provides 10 well-defined

The reporting obligations under the TRIPS Agreement should provide a basis for discovering how the developed countries provide incentives to enterprises and institutions in their territories for the purpose of promoting and encouraging technology transfer and if these activities lead to concrete and helpful best industry practices. The obligations must be seen in their context. Other international

In this thesis, the fluid dynamic properties of the conventional Rushton turbine and another impeller type, the Scaba Radial flow Gas dispersing Turbine (with six concave blades) are compared. For comparison, point-wise velocity measurements were made in the discharge of the two turbine types using Hot-Wire Anemometry in constant temperature mode (CTA) with a split film probe. For the time-average

The frequent restocking of stores and constant promotional offers associated with fast fashion presents the physical cues for consumers to engage in fashion-oriented impulse buying. This consumption behaviour has led to over consumption and the underutilization of clothes, adding to the problems of textile waste all over the world. Despite the increasing interest in consumers’ disposition behaviou

Inom de flesta branscherna finns det professionella rådgivare. Inom juridiken är advokaterna de främsta juridiska rådgivarna. Förväntningarna när någon vänder sig till en advokat är att rådgivningen ska vara utifrån gällande rätt och av god kvalité. Advokater har vissa skyldighet enligt Advokatsamfundets vägledande råd. Advokater är exempelvis skyldiga att genomföra en grundlig utredning för att gProfessional advisors are available in most lines of business. In law, lawyers are considered the main professional legal advisors. It’s expected that when you turn to a lawyer, that the given advice should be legitimate and consist of good quality. Furthermore, lawyers have certain obligations according to the Swedish Bar Association’s advisory council. Lawyers are obligated to make a thorough in

Interpreting EEG measurements is of great relevance, both for developing underlying neuroscientific theory and improving existing applications. In this study, two networks with different approaches to time-frequency analysis and feature selection are compared on simulated and real data for semantic and emotional perception. The first network uses the Morlet wavelet transform to achieve adaptable f

Denna rättsdogmatiska uppsats undersöker arbetstagares rätt till inflytande över den psykosociala arbetsmiljön och arbetsgivarens rätt att leda och fördela arbetet (arbetsledningsrätten), samt hur dessa rättsliga koncept förhåller sig till varandra. För att göra detta utgår uppsatsen ifrån följande frågeställningar: 1. Grundläggande begrepp a. Vad innebär arbetsledningsrätten? b. Hur har de arbetsThis paper, which is based on the legal dogmatic method, explores the two concepts of the right of employees to influence over their psychosocial work environment and the legal regulation of the managerial prerogative, and how these two legal concepts relate to each other. To enable this the following research questions were formulated: 1. Basic concepts: a. How is the legal regulation of the mana

When making an Integrated Chip, there is a process called contacting or bonding. In this process, the circuit is connected to the capsule. As a result, there is interference between the bond wires through inductive coupling. At higher frequencies, the problem becomes more apparent, which means that the role of frequency in interference should be investigated. By using a bonding machine and making

Social workers’ judgements of sexual abuse among siblings The aim of this study was to investigate which factors relating to 1) the child and family and to 2) the respondent have an impact on social workers’ professional judgments about sexual sibling incest. The study was carried out in the form of an experimental vignette survey (a factorial survey), in which the respondents made judgements abo

The use of millimetre-wave frequencies in Fifth generation New Radio has lead to high path loss due to radio propagation environment. Simultaneously, high data rates is a must for current products due to high market demand. This requirement accounts for efficient tracking of the best beam for the user equipment to stay connected to it. Current products at Ericsson use such methods of beam manageme

Bakgrund: Rökning är ett stort hot mot folkhälsan. Det saknas effektiva hjälpmedel. Denna studie undersökte effekten av öronakupressur och aurikuloterapi vid rökavvänjning. Metod: En systematisk litteraturstudie. Sökningar i sex databaser identifierade åtta randomiserade kontrollerade studier (1232 deltagare). Metodologisk kvalitet bedömdes genom att använda SBU:s granskningsmall för RCT-studier. Background: This systematic review examined the effects of ear acupressure and auriculotherapy for cigarette smoking cessation (SC). Methods: Searches in six databases located eight randomized controlled trials (1232 participants). Methodological quality was assessed using the SBU review template for RCT studies. Results of included articles were synthesized using narrative analysis. Results: Stud

This Master Thesis is made in collaboration with ASSA ABLOY Entrance Systems and addresses the issues and problem areas of two dock leveler models; 60 kN and 100 kN to find a new improved design. After the following product development process, a new concept was created which could withstand applied forces exceedingly. The main purpose and goal of the project was to find a dock leveler design whi

Källsortering i historiska byggnader - är det möjligt? God avfallshantering och ökad materialåtervinning är viktiga pusselbitar i mänsklighetens strävan efter en hållbar utveckling. Att införa källsorteringssystem i vissa byggnader är dock lättare sagt än gjort. AF-borgen i Lund, Akademiska föreningens hus, är ett exempel på en byggnad där det uppkommer betydande mängder avfall, men där möjlighGood waste management is essential to reach a sustainable development, although it is not always easy to achieve. Historical buildings have several requirements concerning fire security, working environment and aesthetics which can make it hard for them to introduce sorting systems. The purpose of this study is to investigate the obstacles historical buildings can encounter concerning indoor waste
