It is shown theoretically that a claim in the literature about the overall separation efficiency of asymmetrical flow FFF channels being improved by geometries that permit a uniform channel flow velocity throughout the channel length is untrue.

Objective: To determine the effect of a nature-assisted rehabilitation programme in a group of patients with reactions to severe stress and/or mild to moderate depression. Changes in sick-leave status and healthcare consumption in these patients were compared with those in a matched population-based reference cohort (treatment as usual). Design: Retrospective cohort study with a matched reference

Heteroclitic monoclonal antibodies are characterized by the ability to bind multiple epitopes with little or no similarity. Such antibodies have been reported earlier, but insight into to the molecular basis of this propensity is limited. Here we report that the KIM185 antibody to human CD18 reacts with the plasma protein C4b-binding protein (C4BP). This was revealed during affinity purification p

Contagious yawning has been reported for humans, dogs and several non-human primate species, and associated with empathy in humans and other primates. Still, the function, development and underlying mechanisms of contagious yawning remain unclear. Humans and dogs show a developmental increase in susceptibility to yawn contagion, with children showing an increase around the age of four, when also e

OBJECTIVE-Myocellular ATP synthesis (fATP) associates with insulin sensitivity in first-degree relatives of subjects with type 2 diabetes. Short-term endurance training can modify their fATP and insulin sensitivity. This study examines the effects of moderate long-term exercise using endurance or resistance training in this cohort. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS-A randomized, parallel-group trial tes

As with mosquitoes, female tabanid flies search for mammalian hosts by visual and olfactory cues, because they require a blood meal before being able to produce and lay eggs. Polarotactic tabanid flies find striped or spotted patterns with intensity and/or polarisation modulation visually less attractive than homogeneous white, brown or black targets. Thus, this reduced optical attractiveness to t

One component in writing development is a more efficient use of syntactic tools. Later syntactic development, specifically that of the noun phrase, is an understudied area, notably so for Swedish. The demand for specified and concise information in an expository text, and the availability of more planning time in the written modality, are important factors contributing to more complex noun phrases

The globalisation and industrialisation of the agricultural sector made it possible to produce larger amounts of food in a faster and cheaper way than ever before, linking consumers to producers all around the planet. Although industrial food production has provided benefits for humanity in terms of access to food it is also at the root of many negative environmental and social impacts, such as bi

This thesis explores the link between hybrid warfare and the notion of armed attack in that it asks the question of whether the notion of armed attack is competent to encompass hybrid warfare. The thesis is approached in two parts. In the first part, Chapter two describes the legal framework surrounding the notion of armed attack as a threshold in triggering the use of force in self defence. The t

Active calls are made for sustainability science to step up and provide guidance to address the global challenges of climate change, land degradation, and unsustainable urbanisation. Some scientists claim that an “integral sustainability science” can provide some answers. Relationality and integral theory are combined in an experimental research design to reveal and capture the emerging concept of

Purpose: Our study aims to investigate new employees’ perceptions of their virtual onboarding in a consultancy firm and how their perceptions relate to networking. We saw the need to enrich the existing theories on onboarding and networking as they were not applicable to the ever-changing environ- ment. Methodology: We conducted a qualitative single case study following an abductive and interpret

In 2014, Caribbean countries declared to claim reparations for slavery from former colonising states. A Reparative Justice Framework covering ten points of action formulated reparations as a regional development strategy, widening stakeholders to include development actors and focalising beneciaries to those disproportionally suering from post-slavery legacies. Jamaica is signatory to the claim, a

Trade unions have traditionally been key advocates for the Swedish welfare state. Yet, in recent decades, the Swedish welfare model has come under strain. Therefore, the aim of this thesis is to explore what policies Swedish trade unions develop in relation to the changing Swedish welfare state, and what the reasons are behind these policies. This was carried out through semistructured interviews

Thesis Purpose: The purpose of this study is to examine eco-label knowledge and eco-label trust, and their relationships to planned sustainable behaviour. This will be done by investigating the Swedish market and more specifically eco-labelled food within the FMCG sector. Methodology: This thesis adopted a deductive research approach which follows a quantitative research method. The data was coll

This thesis explores the potential of mhealth methods, seeking to understand why mhealth would be advantageous to traditional methods as a means to provide information regarding sexual and reproductive health (SRH) for youth in Kenya and what prerequisites exists for it to be successfully adopted among the youth and why. It is investigated with a qualitative approach, with the use of expert interv

Since the Lisbon Treaty failed in strengthening the EU’s global actorness – not least within Russia’s sphere of interest – the EU has been described as ‘a global actor past its peak’. However, following Azerbaijan’s aggressions on Armenian sovereign territory in September 2022, Armenia invited the EU to deploy a CSDP mission in the country. Since Armenia is one of Russia’s closest allies and CSDP

This study seeks to understand and explain why Sweden and Finland voted differently in the Council of the European Union on the proposal of a minimum wage directive. The two countries share a labor market system, based in collective bargaining and important roles for trade unions and employer organizations, without a legally set minimum wage. At the time, the two countries hade ideologically simil

Unsafe abortion is a major contributing factor to maternal mortality with 47,000 largely avoidable deaths occurring globally every year, the majority in the global south. Ethiopia has taken a unique approach to addressing maternal mortality impacted by unsafe abortion through a 2005 reform of the abortion legislation in which abortion is illegal but available under a range of exceptions. The purpo
