Purpose: Rollators are used in order to make mobility possible for people with restricted walking ability. The use of rollators is increasing, but little is known about outcomes. The aim of this study was to investigate users' satisfaction with rollators. Method: A follow-up study was carried out in seven Danish municipalities. One month after they got their device, 89 users of rollators were inte
Time domain reflectometry (TDR) is a widely used method for measuring the dielectric constant (K-a) and bulk electrical conductivity (sigma(a)) in soils. The TDR measured sigma(a) and K-a can be used to calculate the soil solution electrical conductivity, sigma(w.) The sigma(w), in turn, can be related to the concentration of an ionic tracer. Several models of the sigma(w)-sigma(a)-K-a relationshi
Recent marsupials include about 280 species divided into 18 families and seven orders. Approximately 200 species live in Australia/New Guinea. The remaining species inhabit South America with some of these secondarily ranging into North America. In this study, we examine marsupial relationships and estimate their divergences times using complete mitochondrial (mt) genomes. The sampling, which incl
This paper describes the development of a method based on measurements of the radar cross section (RCS) in the forward direction to determine the extinction cross section for the 2.5 – 38 GHz frequency range. A conventional anechoic chamber designed for monostatic measurements is used for forward RCS measurements. The extinction cross section is then calculated from the measured forward RCS using
The starting point in this thesis is stroke inflicted individuals’ stories about their experience of stroke, relations in everyday life, and their relations and attempts to return to paid work with the objective of gaining a further understanding of what happens when inflicted by illness and/or disability in working age. Furthermore, it aims at understanding how social relations and ruling relatio
This paper explores the value of judiciously used L1-to-L2 translation in meaning-focused, advanced-level academic language (L2) education. It examines the teacher-led discourse (TLD) arising when translation tasks were used and compares it to the TLD engendered when four other grammar-focused tasks were used with three different groups of students within a functioning university course in English
One of the main objectives of this series is to explore the relationship between Islam, nationalism and citizenship in its diverse expressions. The series intends to provide a space for approaches that recognize the potential of Islam to permeate and inspire national forms of identification, and systems of government as well as its capacity to inspire oppositional politics, alternative modes of be
Popular Abstract in Swedish Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning Vilka är egentligen ”de äldre”? Vad innebär det att vara pensionär? Hur ska man åldras på rätt sätt? Frågor som dessa har under det nyss avslutade århundradet ställts och besvarats på många oliks sätt, beroende av sammanhang och tidsperiod. I vissa situationer har de äldres olikhet lyfts fram, i andra deras likhet. Ibland har åldrandetThe aim of the dissertation is to describe images of old age in the magazines of Sweden’s two largest pensioner organizations, and explain the character of those images in relation to the temporal contexts of the organizations and their aim to act as the representatives of pensioners. The study is based on the 329 and 330 magazines (1941–1995) that the organizations have submitted to attract membe
We investigated changes of postural responses to repeated bipolar galvanic vestibular stimulation on 5 consecutive days and once again after 3 months. Subjects consisted of 21 healthy volunteers. Except for the first day did the induced torque variance in response to galvanic vestibular stimulation not decrease {within} each test session, but there was a major reduction {from day to day} (p< 0.001
The total fluxes of sulphur dioxide from the Italian volcanoes Etna, Stromboli, and Vulcano were studied using optical remote sensing techniques in three shipborne field experiments (1992, 1994, and 1997). The main purpose of the experiments was to compare active (laser) techniques with passive monitoring. Differential absorption lidar (DIAL) measurements were implemented by placing the Swedish mo
This longitudinal study used a multi-disciplinary approach and examined the relationship between psychosocial and health characteristics and the pattern of informal and formal support for non-institutionalized very old people. The data were derived from a single cohort of 80-year-old people living in Lund, Sweden who were followed over a 3-year period. In order to account for potential sample bias
This thesis defined and investigated a general workflow based on model-based design using the Functional Mock-up Interface (FMI), involving Hardware-in-the- Loop (HiL) simulation. The thesis was a direct continuation of Sara Gunnarsson’s master’s thesis "Evaluation of FMI-based Workflow for Simulation and Testing of Industrial Automation Applications", where a Software-in-the-Loop (SiL)
Den här komparativa studien redogör för skillnaderna mellan Sverige och England vid uppsägningsfall som hänför sig till personliga skäl, specifikt misskötsamhet och sjukdom. Syftet är att se hur de båda länderna skiljer sig åt innan och vid uppsägningsfall som hänför sig till personliga skäl. För att göra jämförelsen är studien grundad i en rättsdogmatisk metod. De rättskällor som främst använts ä
Att tilltalade påstår att de handlat i sömnen är inget nytt fenomen, internationella mordrättegångar finns återgivna från mitten av 1800-talet. Uppsatsen omfattar en undersökning av 75 tingsrättsdomar varav 42 överklagats och avgjorts i hovrätten. Vid svenska brottmålsrättegångar är det främst vid åtal om sexualbrott och brottslighet relaterad till bilkörning där tilltalade påstått att de sov vid The ‘Sleepwalking Defence’ is not a new phenomena. The first murder case in which defence lawyers blamed the violent crime on an unconscious act performed by a sleeping defendant dates back to the mid 19th century. This essay investigates 75 such district court judgments of which 42 have been ruled by the Court of Appeals. Within Swedish criminal proceedings, the majority of cases where the accuse
Uppsatsens syfte var att undersöka om brottslagstiftningen, närmare bestämt uppsåtsrekvisitet, fängelsepresumtionen och bestämmelsen om rättspsykiatrisk vård, tillämpas enhetligt när det gäller psykiskt störda lagöverträdare? Efter att ha besvarat den frågan skulle svaret fungera som ett underlag för en diskussion om huruvida rättstillämpningen vid allvarlig psykisk störning är förutsebar ur ett rThe purpose of the essay was to investigate whether criminal law, in particular the necessary intentional prerequisite, the presumption of prison and the provision of forensic psychiatric care, is applied uniformly in the case of mentally disrupted offenders? After answering that question, the answer would serve as a basis for a discussion as to whether law enforcement in case of severe mental dis
När en ny bil skall designas är det viktigt att kunna förutse vissa fenomen innan en fysisk prototyp finns tillgänglig. Ljudet som orsakas av vägen är ett av dessa fenomen. På grund av känsligheten och komplexiteten i metoderna som används idag vore det intressant ifall man kan använda något enkelt mått för att få en känsla för detta fenomen i en tidig konceptutvecklingsfas. Frågan blir då, vilketThe noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) and body dynamic performance of automotive vehicles is highly dependent of the components included in the body structure and compartment, since they add mass, stiffness and damping to the overall structure. Today, the noise levels in the compartment are predicted using complex and detailed computational models during both early and late stages of the vehicl
In the history of DSS literature numerous of researchers have investigated the state of DSS and attempts have been made to develop an understanding for the role of certain critical success factors affecting the implementation success. However, the cumulative knowledge is in the literature suggested to be li-mited and regularly placing the end-user outside the centre of focus. This thesis have incl

På senare år har polisen i Sverige börjat använda sig av spårhundar i sitt arbete för att säkra biologiska spår vid brottsplatser. En hund har tusen gånger mer känsligt luktsinne än människan vilket betyder att hundar kan hitta små biologiska spår, ofta blandade med jord, som är omöjliga för människan att se med blotta ögat. Det ökande användandet av spårhundar har lett till att fler biologiska prThe aim of the project was to investigate and evaluate different extraction methods for detection of human DNA in environmental crime scene samples containing soil. Soil is a complex and heterogeneous material consisting of several inhibitory compounds, which makes it difficult to extract DNA from such samples. The investigation included the evaluation of 19 different extraction methods based on s
