The aim of this qualitative study was to investigate the social identity of students at upper secondary school for physically disabled students. The youths I drew my attention to suffered from severe physical disabilities and therefore received specially adapted education in small classes, but integrated at an ordinary upper secondary school. By "social identity" I mean how the students
AimTo analyze the impact of a time-gain selective, first-responder dispatch system on the presence of a shockable initial rhythm (SIR), return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) and 30-day survival after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA).MethodA retrospective observational study comprising OHCA registry data and dispatch data in the Skåne Region, Sweden (2010–2018). Data were categorized accord
During March 2020 a large-span arena, Tarfalahallen, collapsed. The main load-bearing girders with a 54 m span were high and slender glulam trussed beams, supported from below by a cable system via vertical struts. Investigations concluded that the failure was initiated by out-of-plane buckling of the struts and slender beam, in spite of lateral stabilization by steel roof sheeting at the top edge
English Medium Instruction in Multilingual and Multicultural Universities analyses the issues related to EMI at both a local and international level and provides a broad perspective on this topic. Drawing on field studies from a Northern European context and based primarily on research carried out at the University of Copenhagen, this book:• introduces a topical global issue that is central to the
Purpose: This study aims to focus on the surface curvature, jet to target spacing and jet Reynolds number effects on the heat transfer and fluid flow characteristics of a slot jet impinging on a confined concave target surface at constant jet to target spacing. Design/methodology/approach: Numerical simulations are used in this research. Jet to target spacing, H/B is varying from 1.0 to 2.2, B is
Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to study the effects of dimple geometries and arrangements on the heat transfer enhancement in a dimple jacketed heat exchanger. Design/methodology/approach: For the purpose of this paper, with the experimental validated numerical model, this paper carries out numerical simulations of both single dimples with different geometries and the whole dimple jacketed
Municipalities are key actors in their role as planners for sustainable urban development, and also have the responsibility to transform ambitious national and global goals and visions into local practices (McCormick et al., 2013). The role of municipalities in relation to enhancing sustainable consumption patterns has been increasingly highlighted by policy-makers and in research. Creating sustai
Aims: This study aimed to examine the population-based Skåne Health-care Register (SHR) regarding feasibility for scientific research and also strengths and weaknesses. Methods: To analyse the feasibility of the SHR, we performed a bibliographic search for peer-reviewed articles based on SHR data from 2000 to 2018. To analyse strengths and weaknesses, we used original SHR data about coverage and v
While Datalog provides a high-level language for expressing static program analyses, it depends on external tooling to extract the input facts from the analyzed programs. To remove this dependency, we present MetaDL. The MetaDL system consists of a Datalog language extension for source-level program analysis and tools for generating the language extension from a description of the analyzed languag
Gender identities are relevant for sustainable transport. By analyzing the synergies between gender inequality (as a problem), and lack of sustainability (another problem), there is a potential to create an understanding of how these problems are linked. Our aim is to better understand how gendered norms find expression in transport policy and planning. Taking a starting point in gender studies we
In this paper, I briefly present my doctoral thesis research proposal. Recognizing that information has long been an important asset for any organization, I wish to explore in depth the management and use of information in contemporary information-intensive organizations such as academic libraries. Additionally, this research proposal emerges out of recognition that the academic library is a dynam
Ge and Si semiconductor nanoparticles encapsulated in oxide layers were prepared by the inert gas condensation method. High-resolution electron microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry showed the formation of the core-shell structures with a size below 10 nm. The optical absorption spectra of Ge showed the band edges at higher energy compared to the ordinary Ge element. Photoluminescenc
Background/Objectives: Motor impairment induced by traumatic brain injury (TBI) may be mediated through changes in spinal molecular systems regulating neuronal plasticity. We assessed whether a focal controlled cortical impact (CCI) TBI in the rat alters expression of the Tgfb1, c-Fos, Bdnf, and Gap43 neuroplasticity genes in lumbar spinal cord. Approach/Methods: Adult male Sprague-Dawley rats (n
In the degree that costs and demand of crude oil rise, diminish the economical disadvantages for alternative Diesel fuels, resulting in a variety of feasible substitutes. Diesel fuel substitutes have deviating exhaust emissions from conventional fuel. The methyl ester of rapeseed oil (known as RME/Biodiesel) is receiving increasing attention as an alternative fuel for Diesel engines. RME is a non-
Research on human emotions towards large carnivores is often based on self-reported emotions. This study aimed to investigate physiological and behavioral responses to feared animals among people who say that they are fearful or not fearful of brown bear and wolf. Participants were recruited to be bear fearful only (n=8), fearful of both bear and wolves (n=15), or fearful of neither carnivore (n=1
