Austria, Finland and Sweden became members of the EU in 1995. This paper examines how support for the euro and trust in the European Central Bank (ECB) have evolved in these three countries since their introduction at the turn of the century. Support for the euro in the two euro-area members Austria and Finland has remained high and relatively stable since the physical introduction of the new curr
Background: Photoallergic contact dermatitis is one of the important parts of photodermatoses. The investigation of choice is photopatch testing. However, reports with photopatch test results from Asian countries are scarce. The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of positive photopatch test reactions and to ascertain the common photoallergens among Thai patients during 1998-20
Frequency recognition algorithm for multiple exposures (FRAME) is a single-exposure imaging technique that can be used for ultrafast videography, achieved through rapid illumination with spatially modulated laser pulses. To date, both the limit in sequence length as well as the relation between sequence length and image quality are unknown for FRAME imaging. Investigating these questions requires
Neoliberalisation process was imposed worldwide and it made many grassroots responses emerge, which many can be conceptualised as part of the Social and Solidarity Economy (SSE). Within this field, worker co-operatives appear as an option to mainly safeguard employment and earn a living. Several cases have been documented about worker co-operatives as a way to develop impoverished areas or vulnera
The sound work "Taking Seat" by Robert Willim, could be experienced from a specially designed ‘sound bench’ placed outside Skissernas Museum in Lund. Combining manipulations of words and field recordings the work reflects practices of sitting.What are the forces set in motion by sitting? What are the technologies and techniques of sitting?Anthropologists argue that we have been living in The Sitti
Evaluations about what is good (period) and what is good for someone shape much of ethics. The two value notions ‘good’ and ‘good for’ mark the deep-rooted divide between the impersonally and personally valuable—the value divide on which The Value Gap centres. Past and contemporary philosophers have argued it is a mistake to believe that these two value notions give rise to unresolvable value conf
This paper aims to identify and review new and unproven emergency department (ED) methods for improved evaluation in cases of suspected acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Systematic news coverage through PubMed from 2000 to 2006 identified papers on new methods for ED assessment of patients with suspected ACS. Articles found described decision support models, new ECG methods, new biomarkers and point-
Mainstreaming is a popular approach when seeking to address societal inequalities. Gender and migrant integration are mainstreamed within EU policy, both seeking to increase labour market participation as a means to redress inequality. However, there are limited references to migrant women within gender equality or integration policies at the EU level. The study dissects a subset of migrant integr
The aim was to find out how nurses at a county hospital, came to the conclusion to bring about contact with the hospital social worker. A qualitative method was used. Unstructured interviews focused on different themes connected to the aim of the study. The questions at issue intended to shed light on what it means that the occupational field of the nurses is nursing when it comes to understanding
The main purpose of this essay was to study how the social service committee and a special management at social service has implemented the UN Convention on the Rights of the child, and particularly children’s perspective in the law of the Swedish Social Service. I have particularly concentrated on; how politicians and civil servants of social service describe the content in the UN Convention on t
The purpose of this study was to investigate how child and family social workers on the basis of a specific mentor model express their discretion in their professional role. The data was collected by using qualitative interviews with five social workers from the same workplace.The benchmark of the municipality was determinative for the social embeddedness, the social climate and the social network
Electric vehicle (EV) charging may be used in aggregation as virtual batteries to provide a frequency regulating service to the power grid. The service is sold on the Frequency Containment Reserve (FCR) markets, and is traded one and two days ahead. Forecasts of charging patterns are essential to reliably provide this ancillary service. The thesis aims to build a generalized model for forecasting
In this Master thesis, different multitaper methods are implemented to estimate the spectra of respiratory signals and HRV data, and further to estimate the correlation between the respiratory center frequency and the narrow-banded high frequency band of HRV power. The methods are applied first on ARMA-process data, then on the integrated pulse frequency modulation (IPFM) data simulations, where t
Denna studies syfte är att undersöka hur fyra trumslagare använder sig av inspelningsteknik i sin undervisning och sin egen övning samt hur det påverkar lärandet. Detta har undersökts genom semi-strukturerade intervjuer med fyra informanter som alla har undervisat på estetiska program och högre musikutbildningar. Utifrån litteratur beträffande användningen av inspelningsteknik i skolan och hur manThe purpose of this study is to investigate how four drummers use recording in their teaching and in their individual practice and how this affects their learning. This has been investigated through semi-structured interviews with four informants who have all taught on arts programs in school and higher music education. Based on literature regarding the use of recording equipment in school and how
