Disorders in the musculoskeletal system have been associated with a high physical workload as well as psychosocial and individual factors. It is however not obvious which of these factors that is most important to prevent. Musculoskeletal disorders in neck and upper extremity was assessed by interview and clinical examination in 79 teachers and 93 assisting nurses, all females. Psychosocial work e

Methods: RA patien

Inclusive e(+/-)p single and double differential cross sections for neutral and charged current deep inelastic scattering processes are measured with the H1 detector at HERA. The data were taken at a centre-of-mass energy of root s = 319 GeV with a total integrated luminosity of 333.7 pb(-1) shared between two lepton beam charges and two longitudinal lepton polarisation modes. The differential cro

Background: The Dundee Ready Educational Environment Measure (DREEM) has been used in various studies to evaluate the educational environment. However, psychometric evaluations of the instrument seem sparse, for all known versions of the instrument. Aim: The aim was to psychometrically evaluate the Swedish version of the DREEM instrument. Method: A total of 503 students (undergraduate medicine), a

A new combined molecular and morphological phylogeny of the Eulophidae is presented with special reference to the subfamily Entedoninae. We examined 28S D2D5 and CO1 gene regions with parsimony and partitioned Bayesian analyses, and examined the impact of a small set of historically recognized morphological characters on combined analyses. Eulophidae was strongly supported as monophyletic only aft

It is now becoming increasingly clear that free radicals contribute to brain damage in several conditions, such as hyperoxia and trauma. It has been more difficult to prove that free radical production mediates ischemic brain damage, but it has often been suggested that it may be a major contributor to reperfusion damage, observed following transient ischemia. Recent results demonstrate that cereb

We studied the evolutionary history of the Parmeliaceae (Lecanoromycetes, Ascomycota), one of the largest families of lichen-forming fungi with complex and variable morphologies, also including several lichenicolous fungi. We assembled a six-locus data set including nuclear, mitochondrial and low-copy protein-coding genes from 293 operational taxonomic units (OTUs). The lichenicolous lifestyle ori

Caveolae are membrane invaginations present in a variety of cell types. Formation of caveolae depends on caveolins and on the more recently discovered family of proteins known as the cavins. Genetic ablation of caveolin-1 was previously shown to give rise to a number of urogenital alterations, but the effects of cavin-1 deletion on urogenital function remain unknown. Here we characterized detrusor

The production cost of materials for hydrogen storage is one of the major issues to be addressed in order to consider them suitable for large scale applications. In the last decades several authors reported on the hydrogen sorption properties of Mg and Mg-based systems. In this work magnesium industrial wastes of AZ91 alloy and Mg-10 wt.% Gd alloy are used for the production of hydrogen storage ma

Close collaboration is considered important; but is close collaboration for all purchases necessary to create value-in-production? In construction as well as in other industries, companies purchase a variety of items that require different amounts of attention to the relationship with suppliers. Buyer-supplier relationships are investigated in relation to how they bring value-in-production in the

The t (t) over bar production cross-section dependence on jet multiplicity and jet transverse momentum is reported for proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV in the single-lepton channel. The data were collected with the ATLAS detector at the CERN Large Hadron Collider and comprise the full 2011 data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 4.6 fb(-1). Differential

In-situ wide-angle X-ray scattering (WAXS) measurements have been conducted on atmosphericpressure fuel-rich premixed freely propagating ethylene/oxygen flames with argon and nitrogen dilution. In this work, a novel analysis methodology able to provide quantitative information on soot/carbon particle species and concentrations was tested under heavy sooting conditions. The particle composition and

Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingen behandlar det grekiska landskapet Argolis på östra Peloponnesos och vissa aspekter av livet där under drygt 600 år av romersk överhöghet. I området har man från den tiden funnit lämningar av städer, byar, villor och gårdar så väl som speciella anläggningar för framställning av olivolja, vin och keramik, dessutom badanläggningar, akvedukter, stenbrott, hamnaThis study focuses on the region of Argolid in the eastern part of the Greek Peloponnese during the Roman Imperial era, taking up a variety of aspects of life there based mainly on archaeological evidence. The introduction presents the study area and the background to the study. This is followed in the next chapter by a survey of the various kinds of sites of Roman date found in the Argolid. Citie

Social anxiety disorder (social phobia) is a debilitating and common anxiety disorder, with a lifetime prevalence ranging from 6 % to 12 %. The condition has its onset in childhood and early adolescence, affects females more often than males, and if untreated is associated with high risk of developing comorbid anxiety and mood disorders, as well as substance abuse. The increasingly growing body of

Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingen beskriver utvecklingen av ett personlighetstest, Stress Strategy Test (SST), och hur detta test kan skilja på olika personer utifrån personlighet och de särskilda kognitiva strategier de använder sig av. Det relateras också till ett begåvningstest och psykologintervju av över tretusen individer. Testet bygger på den av J.R. Stroop uppmärksammade principenThe thesis concerns the development of a computerised test, termed the Stress Strategy Test (SST), intended for use in a personnel selection and placement context. A similar but less extended form of that test, termed the Stroop Strategy Test, developed first, was adjudged to be somewhat less effective as a selection instrument. Both of the tests, concerned with cognition, personality and ability

Understanding and assessing the existing welfare structures and patterns in developing countries is essential for the aim of eradicating poverty around the globe. In this case study welfare patterns, accessible by female commercial sex workers operating in a slum area of Kampala, Uganda are investigated. Led by the welfare regime theory by Gough and Wood, information regarding formal and informal

The social network analysis is a method on studying social relations which is becoming more and more popular on the arena of social science. This thesis examines, in the perspective of sociology of law, how well the above mentioned method can be used on studying criminal networks which are specialized on narcotic crimes. The basic idea for this thesis is that criminal networks are often based on t

Undersökningen kartlägger hur matchningsbesluten tas idag och huruvida detta skiljer sig från personalens uThis is an explorative cross-sectional study that aims to investigate which factors that are being taken into account when patients are being distributed amongst therapists before participating in psychotherapy. A survey was conducted among 107 psychiatric healthcare workers at seven adult outpatient psychiatric care centers in Region Skåne. The study maps how the matching decisions are made today

Sammanfattning Barn och ungdomar kan av staten, på olika grunder, bli placerade på hem för vård eller boende; HVB-hem som drivs i privat regi. Detta kan bli aktuellt om den unge skadar sig själv eller har allvarliga problem i hemmiljön enligt Lagen om vård av unga (LVU) 2-3§§. Målet är att de placerade individerna ska återanpassas till samhället. För att de ska bli återanpassade behöver de vård påSummary Children and adolescents can due to various reasons be placed in rehabilitation- or juvenile foster care, so called HVB-hem, by the state. These institutions are many times managed by private corporations. Rehabilitation- or juvenile foster care can become a reality for a child or adolescent if it is harming itself intentionally or is exposed to severe problems in their domestic environmen

Ne bis in idem är en av straffprocessens grundpelare. Principen innebär att en person inte får lagföras eller straffas för samma gärning som denne har blivit frikänd eller dömd i ett tidigare förfarande. Ne bis in idem uttrycker förbudet mot dubbelbestraffning. Detta är en mänsklig rättighet som skyddas genom artikel 4 i sjunde tilläggsprotokollet Europakonventionen samt artikel 50 i EU:s rättigheNe bis in idem is one of pillars on which the criminal procedure system rests. This means that a person may not be punished nor have legal proceedings taken against him/her if they have previously been freed or found guilty of the crime. Ne bis in idem expresses the will to prevent dual liability. This is a human right supported by article 4 in the seventh protocol amendment of the European Conven
