Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the experiences of school nurses working with refugee children from Ukraine. Design: This research was conducted as a qualitative interview study, using an inductive approach and a semi-structured interview guide. Sample: School nurses (n = 8) from different parts of Sweden were interviewed, and the data were analyzed through a qualitative conten
The Rayleigh-Taylor (RT) instability affects a vast range of High Energy Density (HED) length scales, spanning from supernova explosions (1013 m) to inertial confinement fusion (10-6 m). In inertial confinement fusion, the RT instability is known to induce mixing or turbulent transition, which in turn cools the hot spot and hinders ignition. The fine-scale features of the RT instability, which are
Objective To assess the intervention fidelity and explore contextual factors affecting the process of implementing a mobile phone text messaging intervention in improving adherence to and retention in care among adolescents living with HIV, their families and their healthcare providers in southern Ethiopia. Design A convergent mixed-methods design guided by the process evaluation theoretical frame
Background. Ethical duties of health professionals include the obligation to enhance their patients' competence and ability to participate. Aims and objectives. To explore what kind of decisions and how these decisions were made during a child's hospitalization. Design. During a 9-week period 24 children and their parents were followed during the course of events at the hospital. In total 135 ho
Simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) is an interesting option for ethanol production from lignocellulosic materials. To meet desired overall yields during ethanol production from lignocellulosic materials, it is important to use both hexoses and pentoses. This can be achieved by co-fermentation of sugars in SSF, so called SSCF (simultaneous saccharification and co-fermentation), us
Introduction: Designing adjuvant trials is challenging because of uncertainties of prevalence and outcome of high-risk renal cell cancer (RCC) despite use of validated risk scores. Our objective is to investigate how differences in eligibility criteria may impact on potential study results in RCC adjuvant trials. Patients and Methods: RECUR is a multicenter European database capturing patient and
Interdiffusion and chemical reactions contribute to tool wear in metal machining. Increased understanding of these processes, through characterisation of worn tools, can facilitate design of more resilient materials through chemical and diffusional passivation. However, the unknown reaction conditions, the large number of elements, and the formation of interspersed phases makes for a complex analy
The use of computer-assisted instruction in medical education has increased steadily in the last decade with the availability of personal computers. Many computer-assisted instruction programs train the user to handle various forms of disease or injury. Our intent was to provide medical students with more experience in managing ophthalmological emergencies, and we therefore designed a computerized
Purpose: This paper aims to identify research approaches and issues in relation to the main paradigms of resilience: engineering resilience, ecological resilience and socio-ecological resilience. This paper provides a synthesis of the core elements of each resilience approach and their implications. Design/methodology/approach: A critical thematic review was undertaken of the hospitality and touri
It is assumed that nursing is performed on a scientific knowledge-based approach toward patients that considers the wellbeing of the whole person. The meaning and understanding are essentialwhen conceptualizing the idea of caring for the whole person and how this is applied by nurses inhealthcare. However, the meaning and understanding of holism varies widely according to research. The aim of this
Bees are mostly diurnal insects and rely on their vision to perform daily tasks. Their apposition compound eyes play a big part in regulating vision. To improve our knowledge of how vision functions, we will observe these apposition compound eyes using micro CT. The aim of this report was to compare two different methods of preparing and scanning the bees. The first method uses resin to embed the
Cold attics are a common element present in the Swedish residential building stock. They are known to be prone to mould problems due to their low ventilation and are one of the main channels through which buildings lose heat. One of the strategies that can help solve cold attic problems and at the same time contribute to solving the housing crisis is their conversion into habitable spaces. This re
Celebrating its twentieth anniversary of accession into the European Union, Lithuania is a small state with ambitious goals related to further enlargement of the bloc. This thesis seeks to answer how this small EU member state aims to leverage EU’s enlargement policies in two ways: 1) by looking at what frames are used in their political communication; 2) by investigating how well 2 strategies, de
This thesis explores two main research areas: how national healthcare financing systems influence gender disparities in healthcare access, and whether these gender disparities contribute to sex-based inequalities in sickness-leave days as a measure of productivity loss. Using a multilevel analysis combining individual-level survey data and macro-institutional indicators across 22 countries, the st
Business intelligence (BI) is all about making decisions. The purpose of many business intelligence tools is to improve these decisions by making data easy to visualize and understand. Qlik Sense is a BI tool developed by the company Qlik which allows users to visualize and explore data by filtering it (called making selections). At the time of this project Qlik Sense did not support visualization
The study was carried out to assess the energy performance of the buildings in a cluster located in Lund. The buildings were the projects of million homes program, built in the 1960s, and are in great need of renovation. Five retrofit techniques were proposed in the study. Improving the building envelope with insulation and windows, adding an exhaust air heat pump, combining exhaust air heat pump,
Despite the well-known threat that the use of fossil fuels poses to the climate many countries continue to provide large subsidies to the fossil fuel industry. The EU has declared that its member states should phase-out fossil fuel subsidies, but progress has been lacking and subsidies for fossil fuels in the EU remain large. This paper aims to understand which factors explain the persistence of s
En explorativ kvalitativ studie formades i syfte att undersöka ensamstående kvinnors upplevelser av assisterad befruktning i Sverige. Studien genomfördes i samarbete med Reproduktionsmedicinskt Centrum (RMC), Skånes Universitetssjukhus (SUS). Semistrukturerade intervjuer genomfördes med åtta kvinnor, varav fyra befann sig i behandling och fyra nyligen hade fått barn. Datamaterialet analyserades geAn explorative qualitative study was designed to explore the experiences of receiving assisted reproduction technology among solo mothers in Sweden. The study was conducted in collaboration with Reproduktionsmedicinskt Centrum (RMC), Skånes Universitetssjukhus (SUS). Semi-structured interviews were conducted with eight women, of whom four were currently in treatment and four had recently got child
The aim of this study was to understand how social secretaries reflect and act on the dilemma regarding self-determination and integrity for clients in social assistance cases within the framework of an exercise of authority that includes requirements and controls. The following questions were asked: How do social secretaries explain the meaning of self-determination and integrity for clients who
The purpose of this master thesis is to help a global food packaging corporation, based in southern Sweden, to uncover, define and utilize best practices connected to selling spare parts. The defined best practices will later be implemented in the corporation’s market companies globally. The methodology of the project has been to benchmark organizations with similar type responsibilities and work.
