Introduction: In Bio-pharmaceutical production, peristaltic pump tubing is considered one of the factors that influence protein aggregation. Background: Protein particles present challenges for the control and analysis of various manufacturing processes in the biopharmaceutical industry for their significant effects on safety and quality. Aim(s): This research aims to study the effect of differe

The main aim of the current study was to explore the association between self-leadership strategies and organisational commitment dimensions whilst focusing on work arrangement flexibility. The final study sample included 102 employees that worked in various work arrangements that differed in degree of flexibility (i.e., office, remote, hybrid by personal choice, or hybrid by company policy). The

In Sweden, household preparedness is central to crisis management, but local, comprehensive data on it is largely lacking. Additionally, in academia, there is uncertainty around the correlations between actual (AHP) and perceived household preparedness (PHP). This study aims to address both these issues through the exploration of a more comprehensive framework to assess household preparedness. The

Seaweed along the Swedish coast contains both proteins, fats, vitamins and minerals, and could be part of the food supply of the future. It could also be described as climate smart as seaweed does not need to be watered, fertilized, or take up land for cultivation. One of the problems with the intention of consuming the seaweed is its potentially high content of heavy metals. This work has focused

Syftet med studien var att undersöka ungdomars upplevelse av samtalskontakt med kurator på Ungdomsmottagningarna (UM) i Skåne. Deltagarna var ungdomar 12-23 år. Undersökningen gjordes genom sammanställning och analys av enkätsvar som samlats in av verksamheten genom intervjuformuläret UngDOK som använts av samtliga kuratorer i UM Skåne under perioden januari 2023 till februari 2024. Studiens ansat

With the advancement of artificial intelligence, customers and users in general have been more used to having a virtual assistance method for service-related tasks. However, in the shopping centre industry, the self-help solutions mostly follow the traditional pattern of having a conciérge or a totem where you can look for the location of a particular store. This thesis aims to look at this with a

Moral injury occurs when a social worker experiences the ethical dilemma of judging that there is a morally correct course of action but perceives that they are prevented from following it. Repeated moral injury can result in the compound phenomenon of moral distress. In Swedish welfare benefit processing, social workers make decisions based on laws, workplace directives and guidelines, as well as

Studiens syfte var att undersöka förhållandet mellan de två av de mest använda standardiserade testinstrumenten för utvecklingsbedömning av små barn i Sverige idag: Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development, Fourth Edition (Bayley-4) och Griffiths Mental Developmental Scales, Third Edition (Griffiths-III). Tjugo barn i åldrarna 2:0 till 2:3 år genomgick testning med båda skalorna. Hälften avThe aim of this study was to explore the relationship between the two of the most commonly used standardized tests for the developmental assessment of infants and toddlers in Sweden today: the Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development, Fourth Edition (Bayley-4) and the Griffiths Mental Developmental Scales, Third Edition (Griffiths-III). Twenty children between the ages of 2:0 and 2:3 years

Denna studie sökte svar på huruvida människor tenderar att känna mer empati för personer som tillhör deras politiska ingrupp än de som befinner sig i utgruppen, och därmed om empati är selektivt i förhållande till politiska in- och utgrupper. Empati definieras här som (1) kognitiv empati, (2) affektiv empati, och (3) empatisk oro. Urvalet bestod av personer som identifierar sig som socialdemokrateThis study sought to answer whether people have a higher tendency to feel empathy towards people who are part of their own political ingroup, rather than those who are in the outgroup, meaning, if empathy is selective in relation to political in- and outgroups. Empathy is defined here as (1) cognitive empathy, (2) affective empathy, and (3) empathic concern. The sample consisted of people who symp

The Public Health Agency of Sweden are reporting negative statistics regarding the mental health of the LGBTQ-community. The Swedish National Agency for Education has therefore tasked all Swedish teachers and schools to implement a more inclusive way of processing questions regarding the LGBTQ-community in their ways of educating. The aim of this study is therefore to scrutinize teachers' own

Utforskning av äggstockscancers proteiner med ett nytt proteinbibliotek Just nu finns det ingen forskning som kartlagt vilka fosforylerade proteiner som finns hos äggstockscancer-celler. Dessa proteiner är intressanta eftersom de kan berätta för oss vilka signaleringar som går fel i cellerna. Detta kan användas för att hitta nya proteiner som antingen kan attackeras för att bekämpa cancern, ellerOvarian cancer is one of the deadliest cancer forms in women and is a disease in need of improved biomarkers for detection and drug targets alike. Such molecules can be discovered by studying the proteome of the cells. Phosphoproteomic studies have become increasingly more popular as it has a high potential for mapping cell signaling and to find new signaling molecules for drug targeting. Currentl

This thesis aims to test the effect of changing gender roles on fertility. Previous literature has suggested that moving towards gender equality in the household sphere can increase fertility. I test whether a more equal division of housework or gender-egalitarian attitudes affect fertility. Two country groups are analysed that are at different levels regarding fertility and female labour force pa

The purpose of this study is to investigate how femvertising, in specific advertising which aims to encourage female empowerment, is perceived by two generations of women and if it affects their attitudes toward an ad. The study is a replication of the previous study Advertising “like a girl”: Toward a better understanding of “femvertising” and its effects presented by Åkestam, Rosengren and Dahlé

This thesis addresses a project conducted in collaboration with Volvo Car Corporation, to develop a new concept for luggage covers in car luggage compartments. The purpose was to find a new concept, with focus on user friendliness and environmental sustainability, which automatically opens up for easy loading of the luggage compartment. The fabric in today's solution is made of polyester and P

BACKGROUND: Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients, with or without neuropsychiatric SLE (NPSLE), exhibit greater neuronal impairment compared to healthy individuals in terms of neuronal damage, magnet resonance imaging (MRI) changes and cognitive dysfunction. Interferon (IFN)-α is a key immunopathogenic driver of SLE, being persistently overexpressed in the majority of patients. This longitu

Dissolved organic carbon (DOC) affects the acidity in soil and lake waters and buffers both against acidification and against recovery from acidification. Current acidification assessments, based on the widely used MAGIC (Model of Acidification of Groundwater In Catchments) model, often assume constant DOC concentrations through time, but observations suggest this assumption may not be warranted.

Background: Optimal follow-up (FU) strategy to detect potentially curable (PC) recurrences after treatment of localised clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is unclear. This study retrospectively analysed a large international database to determine recurrence patterns and overall survival (OS), as part of a wider project to issue recommendations on FU protocols. Objective: To analyse associatio

Background and purpose — Surveillance of scoliosis in individuals with cerebral palsy (CP) is important for ensuring timely diagnosis and identification of curve progression. We analyzed the incidence of scoliosis in relation to age, sex, and gross motor function in a population-based cohort of individuals with CP. Patients and methods — This was a prospective register study of all 1,025 individua

People with Parkinson’s disease (PD) experience a gradual loss of functional abilities that affects all facets of their daily life. There is a lack of longitudinal studies on coping styles in relation to the disease progression among people with PD. The aim of this study was to explore how coping styles in PD evolve over a 3-year period. Data from the longitudinal project “Home and Health in Peopl
