Popular Abstract in Swedish Denna avhandling syftar till att ge en översikt över cirka hundra år av europeisk intellektuell historia som lyfter fram nya aspekter av de klassiska tänkarna. Analysen av de fyra filosoferna Thomas Hobbes, John Locke, David Hume och Charles de Montesquieu syftar till att belysa en generell historisk process, nämligen hur den moderna människosynen växer fram i Europa. EThis essay has three main aims. The first one is to give an overview of some hundred years of European intellectual history, bringing out new aspects of the classical thinkers. The analysis of the four philosophers Thomas Hobbes, John Locke, David Hume and Charles de Montesquieu aims at illustrating a general historical process, viz. the emergence of the modern view of man in Europe. After Hobbes,

This chapter offers a reflection on the value of dialogue across media industries and academia in enhancing understanding of audience engagement and disengagement with media. The basis for this reflection is an industry-academic collaborative project between Lund University and Endemol Shine. The Media Experiences project conducted production and audience research on a range of drama and reality e

Purpose: None of the key randomised trials on the omission of axillary lymph node dissection (ALND) in sentinel lymph-positive breast cancer have reported external validity, even though results indicate selection bias. Our aim was to assess the external validity of the ongoing randomised SENOMAC trial by comparing characteristics of Swedish SENOMAC trial participants with non-included eligible pat

Pharmacogenetics or pharmacogenomics approaches are important for addressing the individual variabilities of drug efficacy especially in the era of precision medicine. One particular interesting gene to investigate is APOA5, which has been repeatedly linked with the inter-individual variations of serum triglycerides. Here, we explored APOA5-statin interactions in 195 Chinese subjects randomized to

Background.Task-shifting mental health into general medical care requires more than brief provider training. Generalists need long-term support to master new skills and changes to work context are required to sustain change in the face of competing priorities. We examined program and context factors promoting sustainability of a mental health task-shifting training for hospital-based HIV providers

Prior research has established the key impact of customers' Big Five personality traits (e.g., agreeableness/conscientiousness) on their brand engagement, suggesting that individuals exhibiting differing personality traits engage differently with brands. In parallel, extending influential customer engagement research, stakeholder engagement, which covers any stakeholder's (e.g., a customer's, supp

The ETS family transcription factor GABPA is suggested as an oncogenic element, which is further supported by the recent reporting of it as the sole ETS member to activate the mutant TERT promoter in thyroid carcinomas (TC). However, it remains unclear how GABPA contributes to TC pathogenesis. The present study is designed to address this issue. TERT expression was significantly diminished in TERT

Split Vision Urbanism HK is a design research project located at the intersection of urban governance, architectural design, and media arts. It seeks to critically address the relationship between formal and informal structures in order to uncover the hidden potentials of porous urban space, extracting new territories for design practices to engage the generative aspects of high density. Drawing o

Air pollution in urban environments exhibits large spatial and temporal variations due to high heterogeneous air flow and emissions. To address the complexity of local air pollutant dynamics, a comprehensive large-eddy simulation using the PALM model system v6.0 was conducted. The distribution of flow and vehicle emitted aerosol particles in a realistic urban environment in Malmö, Sweden, was stud

Poor management and excessive pumping of groundwater (GW) resources can lead to a significant decline in GW level, which may result in land deformation and compaction of compressible fine-grained soils within or adjacent to the aquifer. Soil compaction and resulting land deformation may be permanent if the GW level declines beyond the maximum historical stress. In extreme cases, the aquifer may lo

The purpose of this chapter is to discuss the legal issues relating to cruise ship passenger contracts, their nature and salient features, parties to the contract and their rights and obligations. Claims arising out of passenger carriage subject to applicable law and contracts containing standard terms and conditions are addressed. It is rare for passengers to examine the terms and conditions of t

The traditional way of teaching may no longer be sufficient to cope with current requirements specifically in the Internet of Things (IoT) domain. The case for this paper is related to an introductory programming course on JavaScript for the period of 2016-2018. In this study a multi-method approach for data collection is utilized. Project-Based Learning (PBL), Scrum and rapid prototyping are util

With the climate change and urbanization process, the frequency of the urban flooding’s occurrence has increased in the recent years. It brings great economic losses to the cities, especially to the basements of individual properties. Low Impact Development (LID), which currently advocated by more city planners for managing stormwater, is considered as a more sustainable way to mitigate urban floo

Personuppgifter och användarinformation har länge använts av företag som en grund för att kunna optimera och utveckla tjänster. I takt med internets explosionsartade framväxt har dock denna användning kommit att få ett större kommersiellt värde än någonsin tidigare. Detta på grund av att teknikens utveckling har medfört att allt större delar av vår vardag sker i anslutning till en internetuppkopplFor a long time companies have used personal data and user information as a basis for optimization and development of services. However, along with the explosive growth of the Internet, this use is of a greater commercial value than ever before. With development of technology a large part of our daily lives is now spent on the Internet. From social networking, e-commerce, site services and compute

Abstract in UndeterminedDue to his background as a Platonist, Justin Martyr’s relation to Stoic philosophy has not gained as much attention from scholars as his relation to Platonism, and his relationship to contemporary Stoicism has been largely overlooked. The present essay provides an overview and analysis of Justin’s references and allusions to Stoics and Stoic philosophy, with particular focu

Popular Abstract in Swedish Den här avhandlingen består av fem papper (A-E) som samtliga är tillämpningar av Rice's formel. Tillämpningsområdena är inom oceanografi och miljö. De tre första papperna behandlar egenskaper hos mötande havsvågor, det vill säga vågor som ett fartyg möter när det seglar på havet. Papper A syftar till att hitta en formel för att räkna ut intensiteten av sådana vågor. SpThis thesis is based on five papers (A-E), all treating various applications of Rice's formula. The areas of application are oceanographic and environmental problems. The first three papers treat properties of encountering waves, that is, waves that a ship encounters while sailing on the ocean. Paper A addresses the problem of computing the intensity of such waves and, in particular, the intensit

The purpose of this study was to analyze how parents of children with neuropsychiatric disorders experience their parenthood. More specifically the aim was to allow parents of children with the neuropsychiatric diagnosis ADHD to share their experiences of parenting related to a variety of themes. These themes, family situation, school, knowledge, positive experiences, problems and difficulties, he
