Business travel contributes to significant greenhouse gas emissions, and there is a need for measures that reduce the demand for trips made with energy-intensive means of transport. In this study, a mobility service application (MSA) introduced in 13 Swedish organisations was tested and evaluated to facilitate booking and handling of business trips, in particular public transport. A before and aft

Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) are polysaccharides produced by essentially all mammalian cells. Due to their enormous structural diversity, they are involved in many biological processes both in health and disease, including all stages of tumor progression. GAGs are normally attached to a core protein as a part of a proteoglycan; however, GAG biosynthesis can be induced by compounds composed of a xylos

AbstractPhysical exhaustion can constrain human ascending work capacity and performance during emergency evacuation on stairs. The overall aim of this research was to explore and compare stair ascending capacities and physiological limitations during two different strategies: self-preferred pace in three different public stairways in the field, and controlled pace in a laboratory on a stair machin

Background: Preterm birth is known to constitute the major risk factor for development of germinal matrix-intraventricular hemorrhage (GM-IVH). Head position may affect cerebral hemodynamics and thus may be involved indirectly in development of GM-IVH. Turning the head toward one side may functionally occlude jugular venous drainage on the ipsilateral side while increasing intracranial pressure an

OBJECTIVE: Trauma is a leading cause of mortality and morbidity globally, disproportionately affecting low/middle-income countries (LMICs). Understanding the factors determining implementation success for in-hospital Trauma Quality Improvement Programs (TQIPs) is critical to reducing the global trauma burden. We synthesised topical literature to identify key facilitators and barriers to in-hospita

The current plastic system is unsustainable and needs to change. Plastics are mainly produced from fossil feedstock, contributing to greenhouse gas emissions, and low rate of post-consumer recycling results in pollution on land and in oceans with high ecological impact, and huge loss of valuable material. There is an urgent need to find solutions for shifting the raw material base to renewable res

Strengthening of load-bearing masonry walls might often be a solution to extend the life cycle and area of use of existing buildings. In the present work, strengthening of masonry walls by means of externally bonded steel-grid is studied. Full scale clay brick masonry walls were constructed and tested in laboratory under eccentric axial compressive loading. By use of a steel-grid embedded in the rStrengthening of load-bearing masonry walls might often be a solution to extend the life cycle and area of use of existing buildings.

Parkinson’s disease (PD) can produce postural abnormalities of the standing body position such as kyphosis. We investigated the effects of PD, deep brain stimulation (DBS) in the subthalamic nucleus (STN), vision and adaptation on body position in a well-defined group of patients with PD in quiet standing and during balance perturbations. Ten patients with PD and 25 young and 17 old control partic

Background This study was conducted at a business unit at the Company, a leading global consumer goods company based in Europe, working in an increasingly hostile environment due to market deregulation and international competition. The business unit was recently separated from previously being integrated in other units and now have high targets to meet. To reach these targets, the rate of innovat

I svensk processrätt gäller principen om fri bevisprövning. Denna princip innefattar dels fri bevisföring, dels fri bevisvärdering. Fri bevisvärdering innebär att domstolen är fritt får värdera åberopad bevisning. Denna frihet innebär emellertid inte att värderingen inte måste redovisas. Enligt 30 kap. 5 § första stycket 5 rättegångsbalken (RB) ska rätten i domskälen ange vad som är bevisat, vilke

Food insecurity is a reality faced by millions of people worldwide. Poor access and availability to food markets, poverty, and uncertain global system futures all exacerbate this issue. In seeking to combat food insecurity for South Carolina residents and improve the viability and resilience of local food markets around Greenville County, South Carolina, this assessment determines optimal potentia

Advokater har länge letat efter sätt att effektivisera sitt arbete och på bästa sätt tillvarata klientens intresse. Artificiell intelligens har vuxit fram som den allra mest lovordade tekniken för att åstadkomma stora effektiviseringar av advokatens arbetsuppgifter. Ett dokumentgranskande AI-verktyg med större precision i juridisk problemlösning än de flesta advokater står nu till vissa advokaters

Previous research shows that men in preschool experience anxiety in physical interaction with children after media discourses about child sexual abuse in preschool. Against this backdrop this study investigates how male students and newly graduated preschool teachers talk about masculinity and physical interaction and how they experience that the preschool education offers them tools or discussion

This thesis examines how forced digitized work has affected politicians in a regional board. Through interviews with elected politicians and observations of council meetings we have studied and analyzed the politicians’ attitudes towards the forced digitized changeover. The digitalization that was forced due to the corona pandemic has been perceived differently and can be linked to the idea of dig

The investigation of lung function in a population plays an important role in diagnosis and assessment of many airway diseases. In addition, an overview of the lung function status can help provide better health-care options and inform medical decisions. When studying the lung function, the collection of measurements (data) of the lung function from voluntary individuals is a crucial part. Often,Longitudinal study designs, in which variables of interest are observed at multiple time points in a study population, are frequently used in clinical research. Missing data are common in these types of studies. Moreover, in studies investigating a population where the mortality rate is high, data can be truncated by death. To handle missing or truncated data, it is important to investigate the un

Calls to implement corporate reforms in South Korea reached its apex with the strong public outrage at 2016 Presidential corruption scandal involving the largest business groups within the country. In 2017, the newly elected President Moon Jae In promised to achieve corporate reforms that past administrations struggled to engage with. Considering the lack of progress in regulating unfair corporate
