The aim of this study was to investigate associations between time use in daily activities and sociodemographic and clinical factors in order to identify individuals with persistent mental illness at risk of having an imbalance in daily activities, as reflected in their time use and daily rhythm. Participants (n=103) were selected from a psychiatric outpatient unit using a randomized stratified se

This work presents an extension, simplification and application of a design procedure for dynamic output feedback design for systems with nonlinearities satisfying quadratic constraints (QC). Our method was motivated by the challenges of output feedback control design for the three-state Moore-Greitzer (MG) compressor model. The classical three-state MG model is a nonlinear dynamical system that i

Infiltration of red blood cells into atheromatous plaques and oxidation of hemoglobin (Hb) and lipoproteins are implicated in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. α1‐microglobulin (A1M) is a radical‐scavenging and heme‐binding protein. In this work, we examined the origin and role of A1M in human atherosclerotic lesions. Using immunohistochemistry, we observed a significant A1M immunoreactivity in

Consumer goods contribute to anthropogenic climate change across their product life cycles through carbon emissions arising from raw materials extraction, processing, logistics, retail and storage, through to consumer use and disposal. How can consumer goods manufacturers make stepwise reductions in their product life cycle carbon emissions by engaging with, and influencing their main stakeholders

Many courses within higher education are assessed by “faculty standards” sometimes based on the implicit assumption that “it has always been like this, therefore it is the best”. Selecting and combining different assessment modes in an effective manner for a particular course are central issues. The process does not always entail a simple and straight-forward decision making. The main purpose of t

Female genital mutilation is a convention that is mainly practiced in about thirty African countries and in some countries in the Middle East and Asia. The topic has become more relevant in Sweden due to increased migration. While female genital mutilation is often referred to as a foreign phenomenon mass media is a main source of information. The purpose of this study was to explore how the conve

Urban populations are growing rapidly with several environmental and social effects in the process. At a governance level, resources go from being regulated by federal and state institutions into being considered urban areas governed by the local government. Nevertheless, this can neglect the enforcement of existing laws for many reasons that deteriorate urban resources due to a rivalry in the typ

This study is centred around Fridays for Future, a youth movement which has rippled across the world from its first sparks in the fall of 2018 to the spring of 2019, and has given rise to countless pieces about the movement in both traditional and social media. According to critical discourse theory, the discourses that we read in the media both affect us and how we see things, but the context in

Denna studie ämnade att undersöka effekten av anisktsattraktivitet på rekryterares bedömning av arbetssökandes kompetens (hårda och mjuka färdigheter) samt anställningsbarhet. Det undersöktes också om betydelsen av attraktivitet skiljer sig mellan män och kvinnor i dessa sammanhang. För undersökningen konstruerades en enkät som inleddes med ett fiktivt personligt brev och en ansiktsbild på den “söThis study aimed to examine the effect of facial attractiveness on recruiters’ assessment of applicants' competence (i.e., hard and soft skills) and employability. It also examined if the importance of attractiveness differs between men and women in these contexts. A survey was constructed that began with a fictitious cover letter and a face photo of the “applicant”. While the letter was the s

Introduction: The environment underwater preserves wooden artifacts well when the oxygen level is reduced thus the decay rate slows down. To prevent destruction in waterlogged wood after collecting, a treatment method is required. Aim: The study aims to present and discuss different kinds of preservation methods for archaeological wooden artifacts. Methodology: Mainly the website web-of-science wa

The NGO role in providing aid and internal/external impacts that are occurring during the process are central pillars in analysing the development objective and Sustainable Development Goals for the future. The challenges that the NGOs face during aid processes are not solely dependent on singular sources and rather require complex, and multi-faced approaches. Previous studies emphasise NGO involv

Denna rapport avser en stabilitetsanalys för att undersöka möjligheten att bygga en kupol i trä med en spännvidd på 300 meter. Alla lastbärande delar har modellerats med limträ av klassen GL30c och med dimensionerna 0.8×1.6 m2. Lastfallen valdes till 2 kN/m2 respektive 4 kN/m2 för symmetriska och asymmetriska snölaster.

En stor del av normgivningen beslutas inte av riksdagen, utan istället av regering och myndigheter. Denna uppsats handlar därför om de möjligheter till delegation av normgivningsmakt som finns i 8 kap. RF. Jag undersöker delegationsmöjligheterna mot bakgrund av folksuveränitetsprincipen, eftersom denna princip enligt förarbetena till RF är tänkt att få genomslag vid normgivningen. I lagtexten framA huge part of the binding rules is not decided by the parliament, but by the government and the authorities. Therefore, this essay is about the regulations concerning legislative delegation in the 8th chapter in the instrument of government. Because it is said in the preparatory work that the principle of popular sovereignty should be important when taking decisions about binding rules, the regul

Systembolaget AB har idag monopol på detaljhandeln av alkoholen i Sverige sedan ungefär 60 år tillbaka. Alkoholen har givits en särställning på den annars öppna marknaden på grund av samhällsintresset att hålla ned alkoholkonsumtionen. Syftet med denna uppsats var att genomlysa det svenska alkoholmonopolets reglering och dess bakomliggande intressen. Regleringen omfattar både svensk rätt och EU-Currently Systembolaget AB has a monopoly on the retail of alcohol in Sweden since about 60 years. Alcohol has been given a special position on the otherwise open market because of the societal interest in keeping the alcohol consumption down.
