Background: The global incidence of stroke is on the rise, primarily due to an increase in the aging population and the prevalence of vascular risk factors among the elderly. However, stroke is a treatable condition if promptly recognized and managed effectively. To optimize stroke management, it is crucial to establish a well-prepared infrastructure comprising adequately trained physicians workin

Understanding and addressing the complex societal sustainability challenges requires applying novel approaches, devising innovative assessment frameworks, and adopting methods and tools from other research fields. Dr Jagdeep Singh has been conducting inter- and trans-disciplinary research on these challenges impacting academia and society. He has pursued university degrees in Electrical Engineerin

This thesis studies the relationship between history and nationalism as expressed by the political parties the Sweden Democrats and the Danish People's Party. The study focuses on how the Sweden Democrats and the Danish People's Party convey historical narratives in their party magazines, SD-Kuriren and Dansk Folkeblad, respectively, and in central party documents. The narrative theory being imple

Evacuation through inward opening doors can present challenges for safe egress during fire incidents. This study comprehensively investigates the dynamics and challenges associated with this type of evacuation, aiming to provide valuable insights for fire safety design. A literature review and experimental evacuation experiments were conducted. The experiments compare occupant movement towards and

Introduction: Over the past two decades, there has been a shift from concealing diagnoses of sex development from impacted people to the broad principle of age-appropriate disclosure. This change is consistent with children’s rights and with general shifts towards giving children medical information and involving patients in medical decision-making.

Children´s literature is one part of today´s marketplace that show progress in sales at the same time the panoply of entertainment for children is bigger than ever. The enormous popularity o

In Sweden opinions are strongly divided on the issue of integration. In a study from 2007 four parallel discourses on integration in the Swedish debate were identified. They are labeled the liberal-, the social democratic-, the structural discrimination discourse and finally a discourse of assimilation. A fifth is discussed briefly – the critical humanist position. In this report I take a closer l

The purpose of this thesis is to investigate whether the risk attitudes of experts in risk management, i.e. the group of experts participating in the study made by Abrahamsson and Johansson (2006), comply with the preferences of the general public. A major focus of the thesis is the development of the experimental setup, which is based on the trade off method developed by Wakker and Deneffe (1996)

On August of 2020 Dan Park and Rasmus Paludan announced a Quran burning in the center of Malmö, Sweden. This qualitative thesis investigates the Swedish internet forum Flashback’s users’ concept of freedom of expression, using the discussions around the Quran burning as a case study. Previous research has explored the legal conflict between religious hatred and freedom expression. This thesis is a

Meeting adherence is an important element of compliance in treatment programmes. It is influenced by several factors one being self-efficacy. We aimed to investigate the association between self-efficacy and meeting adherence and other factors of importance for adherence among patients with alcohol and drug addiction who were undergoing an intensive lifestyle intervention. The intervention consist

Importance: The association between long sleep duration and mortality appears stronger in East Asian populations than in North American or European populations. Objectives: To assess the sex-specific association between sleep duration and all-cause and major-cause mortality in a pooled longitudinal cohort and to stratify the association by age and body mass index. Design, Setting, and Participants

The aim of this article is to explore how these patients cope with cancer in everyday life.METHOD: Semi-structured interviews were conducted with nine patients in Sweden. A thematic analysis was made, inspired by Antonovsky’s theory of sense of coherence. The SRQR checklist was used.

In this paper we study how a system with a time-periodic impulse response may be expanded into a sum of modulated time-invariant systems. This allows us to define a linear frequency-response operator for periodic systems, called the harmonic transfer function (HTF). Similar frequency-response operators have been derived before for sampled-data systems and periodic finite-dimensional state-space sy
