Introduction: Animal-assisted and nature-based interventions in psychosocial treatment for various groups of clients have been studied internationally. However, there is little knowledge about how young adults with autism experience participation in such types of interventions. This clinical study aimed to describe the feasibility of animal-assisted and nature-based activities on a farm as a compl

OBJECTIVES: A six country Pan-European study of aspects of urogenital ageing (UGA). METHODS: The study was carried out using a stratified random sample of 3000 women between the ages of 55 and 75 years. RESULTS: A total of 30% suffered from UGA symptoms, of whom 60% made efforts to alleviate their UGA problems, most commonly using HRT. There were some international differences regarding womens' pe

The inorganic metal or metal-oxide nanoparticles (NPs) that mimic enzymes are of great interest due to improved physical and chemical properties compared with native enzymes. Here, we report that manganese dioxide (MnO2)-Silk exhibit catalase, oxidase, and peroxidase-like activities. The MnO2-Silk hybrid fibers effectively decomposed hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and oxidized the typical horseradish pe

Bakgrund: Fysisk inaktivitet är en riskfaktor för livsstilssjukdomar som hjärt-kärlsjukdomar, typ II-diabetes och fetma, vilka medför utmaningar för folkhälsan och stora samhällskostnader. Cykelpendling är en effektiv form av vardagsmotion för att främja hälsa och elcyklar har vuxit i popularitet, men deras effekter på hälsofaktorer som VO2max, BMI och sömn jämfört med traditionell cykling är ännu

Title: Mediating tools in the practice of choir directors – a study of working approaches and actions in choral conducting with children and youth. Abstract: In Sweden, approximately 5 % of the population sing in a choir or a singing group which means that about 500 000 people plus a number of choral conductors regularly meet in choir related practices. The aim of the present study is to describ

Objective: The objective was to investigate the association between experience of violation during the past 3 months and self-rated health, taking trust (social capital), economic stress, and country of birth and parents' country of birth into account. Design/setting/participants/measurements: The 2008 public health survey in Skåne is a cross-sectional study with 55% response rate. A random sample

Crucian carp from populations that lack piscivores are extremely vulnerable to predation. However, in the presence of piscivores these fish develop an inducible morphological defence, a deep body. This switch from a vulnerable, shallow-bodied morph to a morphologically defended morph makes this species very suitable for investigations of anti-predator strategies, and trade-offs between morphologic

Background The transanal endorectal one-stage pull-through (TERPT) procedure in children with Hirschsprung disease (HD) is frequently used worldwide. To give the children's families realistic expectations and to plan the medical care for the period after TERPT, the outcome is of great importance. Aim The aim of this article is to collect information on the number of stools passed daily after one-s

Popular Abstract in English People normally associate hemoglobin with blood. It is true that the iron in the center of the hemoglobin molecule makes it excellent at carrying oxygen in the bloodstream from the lungs to every part of the body. However, seventy five years ago a hemoglobin was found in a plant. And plants do not have blood. So what is hemoglobin doing in plants? What are its functionsHemoglobins (Hb) are usually associated with blood in humans. However, these proteins are widely distributed among living organisms. In plants the most known group are the leghemoglobins. Still, other Hbs that not participate in symbiosis are also found. They are known as nonsymbiotic Hbs (nsHbs). NsHbs are divided into class-1 and class-2. In this thesis three nsHbs from sugar beet (BvHb1-1, BvHb

The aim of the present study was to enhance our understanding of vegetables as living organisms, interacting dynamically with the environment, and to explore the possible influence of metabolic changes on subsequent processing operations. Growing conditions, harvesting and handling in the packing house and storage conditions are key events leading to a defined “physiological status” of the vegetab

Popular Abstract in Swedish Under 1990-talet ändrades miljöarbete i företag dramatiskt. Från att ha varit huvudsakligen fokuserad på lagstiftningens krav och tekniska lösningar för utsläpp och avfall, tog miljöarbete (d.v.s., "corporate environmental management", eller CEM) till sig nya strategiska och organisatoriska dimensioner runt om i världen. "Det gröna företaget" blev ett begrepp för denna Adopting a phenomenological, sensemaking-based approach, this dissertation reviews and critiques a variety of theories proposed as explanations of corporate “greening” and the evolution of corporate environmental management (CEM), and then presents and analyzes an organization study to explore in greater depth how sensemaking can be used for research in this context. As its object, the ethnograph

PURPOSE: This study explored nursing experiences using interpreters in primary healthcare settings. METHODS: Eight nurses in southern Sweden were subjected to semistructured interviews. The responses were divided into three categories using content analysis: interpreter influence, challenges, and strategies. RESULTS: Despite using an interpreter to minimize language barriers, nurses do not achieve

Popular Abstract in Swedish Urinvägsinfektioner (UVI) är en av våra vanligaste infektionssjukdomar och orsakas oftast av bakterien Escherichia coli (E. coli). Infektionernas svårighetsgrad varierar, beroende på samspelet mellan bakterie och värd. Njurbäckeninflammation kan orsaka allvarliga störningar av njurfunktionen och kan till och med vara livshotande. Blåskatarr är en mindre allvarlig sjukdoUrinary tract infections (UTI) are among the most common bacterial infections in humans. Symptomatic UTIs may be acute, recurrent or chronic but the most frequent form of UTI is asymptomatic bacteruria (ABU). In ABU, the mucosa remains inert, despite the presence of large bacterial numbers in urine. The difference in disease severity reflects the virulence of the infecting strain and the propensit

Background: There is very little research on the parent's experiences of having a child admitted to a paediatric intensive care unit. Identifying and describing ‘such experiences’ could facilitate better parental support from the paediatric intensive care team and help the parents manage a stressful situation. Aims: This study aimed to describe parents' experiences of having their child admitted t

With the popularization of the concept of the metaverse, non-immersive virtual reality (VR) has become a focus of tourism destination marketing. Drawing upon telepresence theory, this study identifies the antecedents and consequences of telepresence to help interpret tourist behavior in the context of non-immersive VR experience. Results revealed that mental imagery and vividness positively predic

Kvinnojourerna uppkom för att stötta kvinnor som utsattes för våld i nära relation. Aktivister ansåg inte att myndigheter kunde tillgodose det behovet och därför startades det på deras eget bevåg ideella organisationer som drevs av ideellt aktiva kvinnor för att hjälpa och stötta dessa kvinnor. En förändring i en samhällelig diskurs bidrog till en förskjutning av våld i nära relation från att ha vThe emergence of women’s crisis centres in Sweden occurred when women activists recognised the need to offer shelter and support to women who were being subjected to intimate partner violence. The activists realised the authorities were unequipped and unwilling to offer support to victims of abuse and therefore started independently a movement of volunteer organisations who aimed to enact the supp

UV irradiation is getting increasingly popular as a disinfection step in drinking water production. Ringsjöverket, a drinking water treatment plant in Sweden installed a full-scale UV aggregate in December 2016. However, the effect of UV irradiation on drinking water has mainly been tested on specific pathogens in labscale environment. Heterotrophic plate counts are often used when analyzing drink

Uppsatsen har haft en kvalitativ ansats. Syftet var att studera upplevelsen hos ett antal brandmän som i sin yrkesroll inom räddningstjänsten deltagit i denna omarbetade form av psykologisk debriefing som kallas kamratstöd. Frågeställningen har dels handlat om att undersöka hur informanterna upplevde kamratstöd och dels att svara på frågan om vilka mekanismer som kan anses verksamma i kamratstöd o
