Background Smokers have a substantially increased risk of postoperative complications. Preoperative smoking intervention may be effective in decreasing this incidence, and surgery may constitute a unique opportunity for smoking cessation interventions. Objectives The objectives of this review are to assess the effect of preoperative smoking intervention on smoking cessation at the time of surgery
The risk of pluvial flooding is going to increase as climate change causes an increase in intense precipitation along with urbanisation leading to an increase in impermeable surfaces. In the last decade, cities such as Malmö and Copenhagen have already experienced severe pluvial flooding that has caused extensive damage. Adapting to climate change by creating flood resilient urban areas is therefo
Thesis purpose: This research investigates the effect of six specific consumers’ characteristics, i.e. fashion leadership, shopping enjoyment, instrumental and terminal materialism, green selfidentity, and social influence susceptibility, on consumers’ attitude towards a product-service system (a use-PSS) in the form of second-hand clothing rental. The relationship between attitude and consumers’
This process and material driven project was from the beginning focused on wast materials. The fact that the world population is rapidly increasing made me think of it as a possible source of material, instead of just an outlet of waste. With an interest in the controversial, I decided to work with human hair. The key structural material in hair is a protein called alpha-keratin. Early hopes of pr
Carbon offsetting has been one of the main international attempts to mitigate climate change. It is however a contested practice that has been heavily criticized in multiple ways. Seeing as Sweden offsets parts of its emissions to reach its national emission reduction targets, I am interested in studying the discourses on carbon offsetting and how the practice has been framed in Swedish politics.
Intresset för etablering av solcellsanläggningar på Skånes jordbruksmark har ökat kraftigt under de senaste åren i takt med stigande elpriser och den pågående omställningen till en fossilfri energiförsörjning. Samtidigt står Skåne för en stor del av Sveriges livsmedelsproduktion, vilket innebär en potentiell målkonflikt mellan två viktiga samhällsintressen; mat-och energiproduktion. En central aktThe interest in establishing ground-mounted solar power plants on farmland in southern Sweden has increased considerably during the last years, as the electricity price is increasing and the society is transitioning to reach climate targets. As Scania counts for a large part of the Swedish food supply, this leads to a potential conflict of interests between energy and food production. In the esta
Background: Secure base scripts (SBS) comprise implicit procedural expectations about the availability of significant others, and are formed early in life based on experiences with caregivers. SBS are conventionally captured via word-prompted, impersonal narratives, but as this assessment paradigm is relatively new, little is known about how it may be affected by situational mental health problems
Hur bör de senaste decenniernas utveckling inom IT och pedagogik påverka utformningen av nya lärandemiljöer? Kan skolarkitektur bidra till att främja god fysisk och psykisk hälsa? Arbetssätt och målsättningar har ändrats mycket inom den svenska skolan under de senaste decennierna. Informationsteknologi har i grunden ändrat tillgängligheten till information och påverkat hur vi både arbetar och koHow should the technological and pedagogical development during the last few decades affect the design of new schools? Can school architecture contribute to good physical and mental health in young teenagers? The way of working and targets for what the students should achieve have changed a lot in Sweden during the last few decades. Information technology has fundamentally changed the ease of ac
Nowadays, due to the global climate change, it is extremely important to find alternative fuels to reduce the utilization of fossil fuels and the emission of air pollutants such as carbon dioxide (CO2), hydrocarbon pollutants, and soot. Ammonia (NH3) is a promising carbon free fuel candidate that can store and transport renewable hydrogen (H2) energy. Ammonia has several advantages over hydrogen i
Popular science Mauritania and Senegal are two countries located at the border of West Africa. Their urban population is increasing significantly since the last decades because of rural immigration and natural growth of urban population. Using GIS and remote sensing techniques, the rate of urbanized area is estimated for two coastal cities of Mauritania (Nouadhibou and Nouakchott) and for three co
Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning Arsenik finns överallt i naturen och släpps även ut genom industrier. Det är ett klassiskt gift som färgat historien, men som även använts inom medicin. Arsenik är det enda kemiska cancerogena ämne som ger hudcancer vid förtäring. Det har även använts inom industrin under en lång tid, och deponering av arsenikhaltigt material kommer att orsaka stora miljöproblem.Arsenic is present everywhere in the world. It is found in the bedrock and is discharged by industries. Differents forms of arsenic varies in toxicity, the inorganic form is much more toxic then the organic form. The inorganic form is most common in drinking water and groundwater, meanwhile the inorganic form can occasionally be found in reasonable large quantities in fish and seafood. Today milli
The starting point of our thesis is the new Education Act (Skollagen) which was introduced in Sweden during 2011. It requires that all students have access to a school library, regardless of the type of school. Since the new Education Act’s (Skollagens) introduction, the school library has received a statutory basis and thus a stronger position in today’s schools. However, the Act does not define
Most previous studies about fertility knowledge and attitudes among men have been based on quantitative methods using questionnaires with fixed-choice response options. The aims of this qualitative study were to explore childless young men’s reflections on fertility and infertility through semi-structured interviews. Danish (n = 17) and Swedish (n = 12) young childless men aged between 20 and 30 y
Visual perception refers to automatically recognizing, detecting, or otherwise sensing the content of an image, video or scene. The most common contemporary approach to tackle a visual perception task is by training a deep neural network on a pre-existing dataset which provides examples of task success and failure, respectively. Despite remarkable recent progress across a wide range of vision task
In this paper, a parametric analysis on the main engine calibration parameters applied on gasoline Partially Premixed Combustion (PPC) is performed. Theoretically, the PPC concept permits to improve both the engine efficiencies and the NOx-soot trade-off simultaneously compared to the conventional diesel combustion. This work is based on the design of experiments (DoE), statistical approach, and i
Background: At birth, infants' lungs are fluid-filled. For newborns to have a successful transition, this fluid must be replaced by air to enable effective breathing. Some infants are judged to have inadequate breathing at birth and are resuscitated with positive pressure ventilation (PPV). Giving prolonged (sustained) inflations at the start of PPV may help clear lung fluid and establish gas volu
PURPOSE: This study aimed to investigate inequality and heterogeneity in health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and to provide EQ-5D-5L population reference data for Sweden.METHODS: Based on a large Swedish population-based survey, 25,867 respondents aged 30‒104 years, HRQoL is described by sex, age, education, income, economic activity, health-related behaviours, self-reported diseases and condit
