Jag har i denna uppsats beskrivit J. L. Mackies teori om orsaker så som villkorssatser, och jag har försökt utvärdera om hans förslag om orsaker som INUS-villkor är hållbart. Det är ingen tvekan om att ”INUS-villkor” är en mer precis och användbar term än ”orsak”. När det gäller de övriga delarna av Mackies teori finns det många tveksamheter. Kim kritiserar i första hand oklarheten i vilket samban
Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka hur rollen som aktiv musiker påverkar rollen som pedagog och tvärtom. Vilka möjligheter och begränsningar finns det i att aktivt musicera parallellt med att undervisa? Kvalitativa intervjuer har genomförts med fyra pedagoger verksamma vid högskola och folkhögskola inom jazzgenren. Jazzundervisning vid högre musikutbildning har blivit en inriktning för studiTitle: The art of managing a dual professional role. Four teachers' views on combining teaching with their roles as active jazz musicians. The purpose of this study is to examine in what ways the role as an artist impacts the role as a teacher and vice versa. What are the possibilities and limitations of actively playing music alongside teaching music? Qualitative interviews have been conducte
The Geoscience Laser Altimeter System (GLAS) has the potential to accurately map global vegetation heights and fractional cover metrics using active laser pulse emission/reception. However, large uncertainties in the derivation of data products exist, since multiple physically plausible interpretations of the data are possible. In this study a method is described and evaluated to derive vegetation
Begreppet arbetsmiljö har förändrats i takt med samhällets utveckling och idag läggs större vikt vid psykosociala faktorer. Arbetsmiljölagen fastställer att arbetsmiljön ska vara god och att risker, av både fysisk och psykosocial karaktär, för ohälsa och olyckor ska förebyggas. Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka vilket ansvar arbetsgivaren har för den psykosociala arbetsmiljön och hur lång
Antalet aborter per 1000 svenska kvinnor i åldersgruppen 13 till 24 år har sjunkit konstant sedan 2009. Denna uppsats undersöker sambandet mellan abortantalet och omregleringen av apoteksmarknaden som påbörjades samma år. Vår hypotes om en koppling mellan dessa grundar sig i ökad tillgänglighet till akut p-piller som säljs receptfritt. Med hjälp av en Difference-in-Difference-analys jämförs anta
Background The methyl ester form of fumaric acid named dimethyl fumarate (DMF) is an effective mould-growth inhibitor. Its irritating and sensitizing properties were demonstrated in animal models. Recently, DMF has been identified as responsible for furniture contact dermatitis in Europe. Objective To describe the clinical manifestations, patch test results, shoe chemical analysis, and source of e
Vi står inför en informationshantering av en karaktär som människan aldrig tidigare stått inför. Teknologin är en integrerad del i samhällets alla nivåer, såväl som i individens vardagssysslor. Människan har lagt sig till med en livsstil där informationsteknologin utgör en naturlig del i hennes handlande och, inte minst, tänkande. Det föreligger alltså ett slags mental förändring som är knuten til
Occupational exposure is an important, global cause of respiratory disease. Unlike many other non-communicable lung diseases, the proximal causes of many occupational lung diseases are well understood and they should be amenable to control with use of established and effective approaches. Therefore, the risks arising from exposure to silica and asbestos are well known, as are the means of their pr
Introduction: Case–control analyses have shown BARD1 variants to be associated with up to >2-fold increase in risk of breast cancer, and potentially greater risk of triple negative breast cancer. BARD1 is included in several gene sequencing panels currently marketed for the prediction of risk of cancer, however there are no gene-specific guidelines for the classification of BARD1 variants. We pres
A subset of genetic variants found through screening of patients with hereditary breast and ovarian cancer syndrome (HBOC) and Lynch syndrome impact RNA splicing. Through target enrichment of the transcriptome, it is possible to perform deep-sequencing and to identify the different and even rare mRNA isoforms. A targeted RNA-seq approach was used to analyse the naturally-occurring splicing events
Presented is a review of the accomplishments, of the light-element program, conducted at the Lund Ion-Beam Analysis Facility. A detailed account is given of the current experimental setup at the total Ion-Beam Analysis Chamber, which is equipped with two Double-Sided Silicon Strip Detectors for charge particle detection, a silicon drift detector for PIXE analysis, an electrostatic deflection syste
Purpose: A cost minimisation analysis compares the costs of different interventions’ to ascertain the least expensive over time. We compared different prostate targeted drug treatments with TURP to identify the optimal cost saving duration of a medical therapy for symptomatic benign prostatic enlargement (BPE). Methods: The Evolution registry is a prospective, multicentre registry, conducted by th
BACKGROUND: It is difficult to estimate the diagnostic accuracy of biopsy for prostate cancer because men with negative biopsy do not undergo radical prostatectomy and thus have no confirmation of biopsy findings. METHODS: We performed 18-core needle biopsies on autopsy prostates from 164 men who had no history of prostate cancer. Six-core biopsies were taken from each of the mid peripheral zone (
With the goal to delevop the fabrication of a new type of Pt-nanoparticle carbon-support electrocatalyst, we investigate the carbon embedding of Pt cluster superlattices grown on the moiré of a monolayer of hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) on Ir(111). Our combined scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) study establishes conformal C embedding of the Pt clusters
Popular Abstract in Swedish Huvudsyftet med studien har varit att ta fram matematiska samband för dimensionering av processutrustning – dimensionering är ett klassiskt ingenjörsproblem. Korrekt dimensionering är viktig för att utrustningen skall fungera tillfredsställande och dessutom inte resultera i onödiga investerings- och driftskostnader. Den matematiska modell (en uppsättning ekvationer) soA study concerning closure relations pertinent to the design of sorption equipment of absorption heat pumps has been undertaken. Specifically, thermosiphon and vertical falling film arrangements were studied. For the thermosiphon, experimental data on the void fraction, the friction and orifice pressure drops, and the heat transfer coefficient at sub-atmospheric pressures were obtained for vapori
Background & aims: Short telomeres have been observed in chronic disease patients. Identifying environmental and lifestyle factors that could reduce telomere attrition is crucial for disease prevention. The aim of this work was to determine whether weight-loss induced by an energy-reduced Mediterranean diet (erMedDiet) and physical activity (PA) could modify telomere length (TL). Methods: In 3
The possibility of providing investigative leads when conventional DNA identification methods fail to solve a case can be of extreme relevance to law enforcement. Therefore, the forensic genetics community has focused research towards the broadened use of DNA, particularly for prediction of appearance traits, bio-geographical ancestry and age. The VISible Attributes through GEnomics (VISAGE) Conso
