Density functional theory was employed to investigate the adsorption site and hyperfine interactions of nitric oxide adsorbed in Na-LTA (previous name NaA) zeolite. Three different cluster models of increasing complexity were used to represent the zeolite network: (1) a six-membered ring terminated by hydrogen atoms with one sodium ion above the ring, (2) as model 1 with the addition of three sodi
OBJECTIVE:: To outline the prevalence of nonhormonal drug use in middle-aged women and to assess plausible associations between serum androgen levels and variables associated to health such as drug use and planned visits to healthcare units. METHODS:: This was a population-based study of women aged 50 to 59 years (n = 6,893). Women were divided into three groups according to their menopause status
PURPOSE: Colostomy irrigation (CI) is an effective method to achieve fecal continence in selected persons with a colostomy. The primary aims of the study were to find out to what extent the WOC nurses used CI in their practice and what kind of information the WOC nurses gave patients if they provided explanations and potential solutions when irrigation was not successful in preserving continence.
While the EU stipulates their motto to be ‘Unity in diversity’ claiming itself to be enriched by cultural and linguistic diversity, the discourse on Muslims is, however, more often than not, one of Muslims and Europe rather than European Muslims. The aim of this study was therefore to investigate if and how this discourse is constructed and maintained by the Members of the European Parliament whil
Combustion process are used to improve modern society, but it comes with problems, like global warming and air pollution. Computer simulations are used to study combustion process to allow more efficient use of the fuel or decrease the creation of pollution. The main problem with simulations of combustion process is that they are very time consuming, as both physical effects and chemical reactions
Bakgrund: För arbetsterapeuter är det möjligt att arbeta inom en rad olika verksamheter och i olika roller. Vissa arbetsterapeuter väljer att ta sig an ett ledarskap i en chefsbefattning. Trots det är arbetsterapi och ledarskap ett förhållandevis outforskat fält. Syfte: Syftet var att undersöka hur chefer beskriver att de använder sin arbetsterapeutiska professionella kompetens i ledarskapet. MetBackground: Among occupational therapists some choose to take on a leadership role as a manager. Even though this is a possible career path, the connections between occupational therapy and formal leadership are not very well researched. Purpose: The purpose of the study was to explore how managers describe using their professional occupational therapy competence. Method: A qualitative method inc
Undersökningen syftar till att begreppsanalytiskt undersöka begreppet heder samt en närliggande hedersproblematik. Hedersbegreppet är komplext och med bakgrund av den rådande svenska debatten kring heder är det möjligt att se hur begreppet tillskrivs olika definitionsmässiga innebörder. Detta bidrar i sin tur till problem kring kartläggningen av hedersproblematik i Sverige. Utifrån Unni Wikan och This study aims to analyse the concept of honour and honour-related problems. The conception of honour is very complex and looking at the current discourse it is possible to see how the term is attributed to different translations. This dissonance becomes problematic when mapping honour-related issues in society. Based on Unni Wikan and Johan Galtung's theoretical perspectives the report SOU
It is very important for an investor to choose an accurate and effective risk measure when optimizing a portfolio of different assets. Recently, in addition to the standard risk measures such as variance or Value-at-Risk (VaR), more developed risk measures have emerged and one of them is the entropic Value-at-Risk (EVaR). This paper is testing the hypothesis stated by Ahmadi-Javid and Fallah-Tafti
The aim of this study was to investigate how people who have been on sick leave due to fatigue syndrome, reason about the interaction with authorities, the employers and health care, and how they describe their experiences of the sick leave procedure and their way forward from there. We conducted a qualitative study with nine semi-structured interviews. For our theoretical approach we applied the
This thesis investigated how expansionary unconventional monetary policies affect house prices in the Scandinavian countries, using quarterly data from 1995 to 2020. Unconventional monetary policy, such as quantitative easing and forward guidance, has become widely used by central banks, in order to stimulate the economy when being in a zero lower bound environment. While inflation has remained on
Vårdboenden som vägvisare mot ett hållbart samhälle Vårdboendena i Helsingborgs stad har stora möjligheter att göra skillnad för klimatet och därmed visa vägen mot ett hållbart samhälle. Stora mängder engångsprodukter används på boendena men det finns åtgärder att vidta för att minska klimatpåverkan från samtliga. Det finns också god potential för att minska matsvinnet, bland annat genom bättre sDue to climate change, emissions of greenhouse gases must be reduced rapidly and natural resources must be used more sustainably. The public sector should lead the way to a more sustainable society and healthcare has been identified as an area that contributes to large emissions. The purpose of this study was to identify measures that can be taken to reduce the climate impact of the retirement ho
Abstract in UndeterminedThis paper describes a method for assessing the effectiveness in the steps of the learning cycle: the 1st loop with reporting - analysis - decision - implementation - follow-up, and the 2nd loop on an aggregated basis. For each step, the dimensions considered the most relevant for the learning process (scope, quality, timing and information distribution) and for each dimens
We present rock magnetic and palaeointensity data from Holocene Icelandic lava flows, including historical and pre-historical lavas. Susceptibility versus temperature measurements indicate that the magnetic mineralogy is dominated by primary titanomagnetite that have experienced variable degrees of high-temperature oxidisation. The analyses also demonstrate that virtually all studied samples are t
Chitosan was chosen as a natural polymer for dispersion of single walled carbon nanotubes (SWNT) based on its ability to efficiently solubilize SWNTs to form a stable dispersion. Moreover, chitosan films deposited on a surface of a glassy carbon (GC) electrode are mechanically stable. Further stabilisation of the chitosan film containing SWNT (CHIT-SWNT) was done by chemical crosslinking with glut
The E-GIS project partnership comprised 10 partners (universities, organisations and private bodies) from 6 European countries; Bulgaria, Lithuania, The Netherlands, Norway, Portugal and Sweden. The E-GIS project was initiated in order to: • Establish competent nettworks between universities and private bodies for cooperation on an European level within the GIS area – both for this project and fo
Behovet av klimatreglering har ökat kraftigt sedan 1960-talet. Ett av skälen till detta är den ändrade byggtekníken, som innebär lättare konstruktioner med större inre värmebelastning från belysning, maskiner, personer och solinstrålning genom stora fönsterytor. De ökade värmebelastningarna kan klaras av med ett flertal olika klimatsystem. Dessa system kräver någon form av reglering. Under 1970-taResults from a research project supported by the Swedish Council for Building Research are reported. The main task was to improve climate control technology. The work was focused on digital control. It was split up into three main tasks: model building, design of regulators, and fullscale experiments. Several rooms, airducts, and heat exchangers were modelled. Simple dynamic models have been deriv
The influence of experience in categorizing suspect and occult fractures on radiography compared to MRI and clinical outcome has not been studied. The aim of this study is to evaluate the importance of experience in diagnosing normal or suspect hip radiographs compared to MRI. Primarily reported normal or suspect radiography in 254 patients with low-energy hip trauma and subsequent MRI was re-eval
The main purpose of this study was to establish to what extent undergraduate students use reference services, what knowledge they have about those services and what their views of them are. The survey took place at Lund University Library, UB1, the main library responsible for collections in social sciences, humanities, theology and law. A total of 476 undergraduate students were asked to fill in
