To increase women’s interest in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics), interventions that target self-efficacy and belongingness are needed. For this purpose, this study designed and tested two interventions. In Study 1, we tested if a video with female role models increases young women’s expected belongingness and interest in engineering. In Study 2, we tested if positive feedba

This book explores the practice of Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) in the cities of the Global South. NBS are recognized as a key strategy for achieving sustainable development, and they are being implemented in a variety of sectors such as urban planning, agriculture, forestry, and water management. They offer a wide range of benefits, but there is a gap between research and practice across cities f

Selective inhibitors could help unveil the mechanisms by which inhibition of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerases (PARPs) elicits clinical benefits in cancer therapy. We profiled 10 clinical PARP inhibitors and commonly used research tools for their inhibition of multiple PARP enzymes. We also determined crystal structures of these compounds bound to PARP1 or PARP2. Veliparib and niraparib are selective i

Language policy and planning (LPP) is one of the fastest growing sub-disciplines of applied linguistics. This book is the first volume that is exclusively devoted to research methods in language policy. As in other areas of applied linguistics, LPP scholars have drawn upon an array of research methods from a range of disciplines. This book is designed as a practical roadmap for those methods. Each

This thesis highlights the research and development of a new plastic-scintillator detector for time-of-flight measurements in relativistic heavy-ion beam experiments. The detector makes possible the identification of different ion species on flight distances as short as a few meters. The novelty lies in the design approach of using many moderately fast, independent measurements of every physical e

BACKGROUND: Inversions involving intron 22 (Inv22) of F8 are detected in approximately 45% of all severe hemophilia A patients. Diagnosis is complicated by the large size of the ~9.5 kb int22h repeated sequence which generates the inversions. Methods such as long-range PCR and inverse-shifting PCR are currently used diagnostically, but suffer from low PCR efficiencies and are difficult to standard

Objective to describe first-time fathers experiences of their prenatal preparation in relation to challenges met in the early parenthood period. Design a qualitative study was conducted and data was analysed with a phenomenographical approach. Setting and participants 15 first-time fathers were recruited from three postnatal units in southern Sweden and interviewed approximately one month after th

Purpose Over the last decade a substantial pool of research has emerged on bouncers and their influence on the safety conditions in nightlife environments. Comparatively little, however, has been written on bouncers themselves and their working conditions. The purpose of this paper is to identify the perceived risks, stress and other work-related problems among bouncers working in Danish nightlife

In this paper, we show how each independent spatial mode of a circular array can be individually encoded and collimated to yield high ergodic spectral sum efficiency of an uplink mobile communication system. We show that every mode generated with the help of Rotman Lens is orthogonal to every other mode. This reduces the spatial cross-coupling and thereby enhances data throughput.We also show that

Standard treatment for patient with peritoneal metastases from colorectal cancer is cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC). In recent years, the efficacy of oxaliplatin-based HIPEC has been challenged. An intensified HIPEC (oxaliplatin+irinotecan) in combination with early postoperative intraperitoneal chemotherapy (EPIC) has shown increased recurrence-fr

Eight years since the UN’s agenda 2030, progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) has been poor. A crucial dimension is missing from current policy approaches: we urgently need to better understand the human inner skills and qualities necessary to work effectively together to meet ourcomplex challenges.Co-designed by thousands of experts, practitioners and scientists in response to

Currently, the inner dynamics of teacher identity transformations remain a “black box.” Conceptualizing preservice teacher identity as a complex dynamic system, and the notion of “being someone who teaches” in dialogical terms as involving shifts between different teacher voices, the study investigates the dynamical processes at play when transitions between identities occur. Using a single-case d

While process improvement is an increasingly important topic for organizations, academic institutions find it hard to teach the topic in a cross functional real world project manner. This paper describes a unique course which is theoretically sound, academically rigorous, multi-disciplinary, and practically relevant while providing the students with a transformational learning opportunity. The cou

A polyethylene terephthalate (PET)-degrading bacterium identified as Stenotrophomonas maltophilia PRS8 was isolated from the soil of a landfill. The degradation of the PET bottle flakes and the PET prepared as a powder were assessed using live cells, an extracellular medium, or a purified cutinase-like enzyme. These treated polymers were analyzed using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (F

This project examines why local materials matter and the main elements to consider when making sustainable designs. Iceland is heavily relying on import because of the scarcity of raw natural local materials. In the main natural materials require less energy and water use as they are less processed and consequently become a more sustainable choice. However importing natural materials significa

Har ergonomi fler funktioner än att förebygga skador? Denna studie undersöker hur fyra gitarrister kan gynnas av att spela mer ergonomiskt. Gitarristerna har fått instruktioner av mig hur de ska öva med ett ergonomiskt arbetssätt. Det studien syftar på är att undersöka hur det hjälper deras uthållighet, teknik, fokus och avslappning under gitarrspelandet. Studien är utformad som aktionsforskning d

This is a thesis which describes a process for realizing a SCADA system using Codesys and iX developer, after a given function description. This is followed by an investigation about the Modbus protocol. That is applied to do the communication possible between the different parts in the system. The report includes a simple part of theory. This treats concepts like SCADA, PLC, I/O-devices, communic

The purpose of this work is to expand the toolbox of speech language pathologists and give them the ability to redesign a patient’s voice to a healthier sounding one, thereby giving the patient a target voice to strive towards. A modified voice is generated by applying a finite impulse response (FIR) filter, altering the spectrum of the patient’s voice. In order to facilitate the filter design pro
