Popular Abstract in Swedish Betændelses reaktionen er kroppens svar på en skade eller en infektion. Betændelses reaktionen gør at immunforsvarets celler kaldes til det skadede område (kan ses som den røde varme hævelse omkring et sår) og at eventuelle sygdomsfremkaldende emner identificeres og bekæmpes. På lidt længere sigt, fjernes ødelagt væv og helingen af såret påbegyndes. Når det skadede områThe pro-inflammatory mediators leukotrienes have shown to be important players in the pathogenesis of diseases like asthma and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Patients suffering from IBD have been found to have an increased risk of developing colon cancer. Since leukotrienes have been shown in increased concentrations in stools of IBD patients we hypothesise that LTD4 can play a role in the deve

The aim of this study was to investigate patients’ experiences of living with peripheral arterial disease (PAD) and the influence on activities of daily living. Twenty-four patients with various degrees of PAD were interviewed. The transcribed texts were analysed using manifest and latent content analysis. Living with PAD meant carrying a hard-to-bear physical, social and emotional burden, and str

The problem of designing robust and noise-insensitive PI controllers for pressure-sensor based combustion-timing control was studied through simulation. Different primary reference fuels (PRF) and operating conditions were studied. The simulations were done using a physics-based, control-oriented model with an empirical ignition-delay correlation. It was found that the controllable region, in-betwThe problem of designing robust and noise-insensitive PI controllers for pressure-sensor based combustion-timing control was studied through simulation.

With an increasing amount of literature on the convergence of archives and libraries as a point of departure, this thesis examines how archives and libraries respectively assign metadata to informational resources with queer content. Thereby, the thesis contribute to a theoretical convergence between the two institutions. A mixed method approach with quantitative and qualitative methods was chos

In Sweden, it is reported that a lot of Social Services are having difficulties recruiting staff, especially experienced staff. With a high turnover rate and a great need for social workers in these areas of work, this study aimed to investigate social work students’ attitudes towards work with the exercise of public authority and try to detect which factors could be affecting these attitudes. The

Denna explorativa studie syftade till att undersöka eventuella samband mellan självkänsla och upplevelse av omvärlden hos individer med psoriasis. Utgångspunkten har varit Maarit Johnsons teori för inre och yttre självkänsla, Aaron Antonovskys teori om känslan av sammanhang samt Gilbert och Miles modell över upplevelse av skam. I undersökningen användes ett egenkonstruerat frågeformulär byggt på sThe purpose of this explorative study was to investigate any connections between self-esteem of individuals with psoriasis and their experience of their social environment. The basis of the study was Maarit Johnson's theory of inner and outer self-esteem, Aaron Antonovsky's theory of the sense of coherence and Gilbert's and Miles' model of shame. In the study a self constructed que

Expatriater är viktiga men också dyra tillgångar i multinationella företag. Expatriering innebär en stor utmaning i form av ett nytt arbete i ett nytt land, allt inbäddat i en ny kultur, ofta med ett främmande språk, vilket kräver nya sätt att hantera tillvaron. Då de flesta expatriater har familj, gäller det i högsta grad även den medföljande. Genom en kvalitativ studie med fenomenologiskt angrepExpatriates are important but also expensive assets in multinational companies. A new employment and a new country, all embedded in a new culture, often with a foreign language, makes expatriation a big challenge. This also highly affects accompanying partners, since most expatriates bring their families on the assignment. The process of expatriation was examined by a qualitative study with a phen

Denna studie syftar till att undersöka vilka copingstrategier socialarbetare som arbetar klientnära använder sig av för att hantera den eventuella empatitrötthet och stress arbetet kan medföra, samt beakta hur begreppet resiliens har betydelse för deras välmående. För att undersöka detta har det utförts åtta stycken semistrukturerade intervjuer med socialarbetare som arbetar på olika arbetsplatserThis study aims at investigating what coping strategies social workers who work close to clients use to deal with possible compassion fatigue and stress that the work may entail. Further, we want to observe how the concept of resilience is important for their well-being. To investigate this, eight semi-structured interviews were conducted with social workers who work in different workplaces, who a

Brottet vållande till annans död kännetecknas av att en persons agerande lett till någons död utan att detta varit avsiktligt eller kontrollerat från start till slut. För att kunna konstatera att detta agerande varit så pass klandervärt att det faller under straffrättsligt ansvar har domstolen att ta ställning till huruvida en otillåten risk har företagits. Vad som utgör ett otillåtet risktagande To cause someone’s death by mistake can bring criminal liability. For this mistake to be punishable, the court must decide whether an unacceptable risk has been taken. This assessment, however, is surrounded by difficulties when applied in the healthcare system. In medical decision-making, science and proven experience serve as a benchmark for acceptable actions. This essay aims to examine how th

The rapid evolution of modern chipsets and sensors has led to most modern smartphones are capable of providing an Augmented Reality (AR ) experience. Recent advancements in web development have made it possible to leverage the mobile device’s AR capabilities and deliver immersive content directly in the browser. The web-based immersive content may constitute a future platform for instructions and

AimHirschsprung's disease is a congenital disorder requiring surgery. Most children operated on for Hirschsprung's disease experience postoperative bowel dysmotility. Although various food is known to influence bowel motility, evidence of diet's role and dietary guidelines in treatment of bowel dysfunction in Hirschsprung's disease is lacking. The aim was to explore parental experiences of dietary

Light/dark cycles play an essential role in people's performance, mood and daily rhythm. This study aimed to evaluate an early prototype of a personalised home lighting system including body-worn loggers. A convenience sample (N = 28) wore the devices for 23 h in the field and were given a demonstration of the lighting system components. Participants reported on questionnaires their acceptance of Light/dark cycles play an essential role in people's performance, mood and daily rhythm.

This thesis consists of four papers that broadly concerns two dierent topics. The rsttopic is so-called barycentric Markov processes. By a barycentric Markov process wemean a process that consists of a point/particle system evolving in (discrete) time,whose evolution depends in some way on the mean value of the current points in thesystem. In common for the three rst papers which are on this topic

BACKGROUND: The relationship between animal ethics orientations and consumer demand for meat with high standards of animal welfare, and the way this relationship plays out in different countries, is not well understood. Using pork as a case study, this comparative study aims to identify the animal ethics orientations that drive purchases of welfare meat in Denmark, Germany, and Sweden.METHODS: Cro
