Parental leave policies for fathers are introduced to promote father’s caregiving and gender equality in childcare. Even though the majority of father-friendly policy reforms were led by social democratic parties, a few conservative catch-all parties also proposed policies to promote father’s caregiving. How did conservative catch-all parties frame father’s caregiving when they propose policy refo
This thesis presents the development and evaluation of a virtual reality (VR) environment designed for integrated EEG, EMG, and joint movement data collection. The system combines immersive VR with biosignal acquisition technologies, including the Unicorn Hybrid Black EEG, the Myo Armband for electromyography and inertial sensing, and the Cyberglove for hand joint tracking. The goal was to create

Problem: Vilka är de drivande faktorerna till köbildning på klinikens avdelningar samt hur kan ökad kunskap om dessa faktorer på sikt skapa möjligheter för en effektivare kapacitetsplanering och en förbättrad servicenivå mot klinikens kunder? Syfte: Förbättra kapacitetsplaneringen för att på så sätt frigöra resurser och minska väntetiderna. Ta reda på vilka data som krävs för att på ett smidigt mProblem: Which are the driving factors creating queues at the different sections at the Department of Orthopedics and is it possible to use enhanced knowledge of these factors to create competitive advantage when conducting capacity planning? Will this also lead to an increased service level towards the patients? Purpose: Improve the capacity planning in order to free resources and reduce waiting
Issue of study: Knowledge management is recognised as an essential part of company strategy, with the potential to generate significant competitive advantage. The theoretical basis of knowledge management is well developed, however the practical implementation is not well adapted with regards to construction organisations. More research with a practical perspective regarding knowledge management
Sverige blev medlem i den Europeiska unionen 1995. En viktig del i samarbetet är upprättandet av den inre marknaden. EG-fördraget är garanten för att fri rörlighet för varor, tjänster, kapital och personer ska vara möjlig mellan medlemsstaterna. Några hinder för den fria rörligheten får inte förekomma på dessa områden. EG-domstolen ser till att EG-fördragets bestämmelser efterlevs av medlemsstater
Solanum tuberosum (Potato) is a cool-season, short-day crop that tuberize effectively at temperatures between 15°C-19°C and at a day length of about 12 hours. These environmental requirements pose a moderate challenge to potato cultivar in different region globally. In Northern Europe, summers are characterized by the prolonged daylight and temperature that frequently exceed 19℃. Such conditions c
With the rapid evolution of semiconductor technology and the growing demand for high-performance, low-power System-on-Chip solutions, the design of efficient and scalable on-chip interconnect architectures has become a critical challenge in modern ASIC development. This thesis focuses on design space exploration of replacing multiple ARM CoreLink NIC-400 crossbar-based interconnects with a unified
The recent years spread of misinformation and the rise of post-truth politics have challenged the role of public service media in democratic societies. This thesis explores how the Nordic public service broadcasters – SVT, NRK, DR, RÚV and Yle – position themselves in relation to disinformation, misinformation, and post-truth. Through a qualitative, thematic analysis of their annual reports from 2
Geographical peripheries have long faced marginalization and degradation, enhanced by global trends such as urbanisation. Recently, their revitalization has gained urgency within sustainability discourse, seen as key to achieving global sustainable development. Yet, interventions often focus narrowly on economic recovery, overlooking the social dimension, particularly social cohesion, which is ess
The purpose of this thesis is to enrich our understanding of micro-level internal legal culture by examining how Indonesian legislative lawyers navigate tensions between legal principles and political pressures. The focus is on civil servants within the Coordinating Ministry for Human Development and Cultural Affairs who are tasked with law-making processes, such as drafting, negotiating, and
AI-genererade verk har ökat snabbt under det senaste årtiondet och skakat om EU:s immaterialrättsliga landskap. Tack vare dessa intelligenta system kan individer idag skapa verk som överträffar mänskligt hantverk på bara några minuter. Verk som utnyttjar AI, särskilt autonoma produkter, utmanar de trad-itionella uppfattningar som upphovsrättslagstiftningen bygger på. Frågan om dessa verk kan erhål
Small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) are a rapidly growing class of oligonucleotide therapeutics that modulate gene expression by inducing targeted mRNA degradation. siRNAs are potent and their effect is long-lasting, making them promising candidates for chronic neurodegenerative disease. However, siRNAs can elicit both on- and off-target toxicity, and while acute neurotoxicity has been characterized,
Early diagnosis of colorectal cancer (CRC) is crucial for successful treatment and mortality reduction. In this regard, blood-based tests play an indispensable role. Current research is focused on molecules actively secreted by tumor cells into small extracellular vesicles (EVs). This four-phase study included 613 CRC patients, 446 controls, and 120 precancerous lesions. High-throughput transcript
Background: Adult-onset diabetes comprises subgroups differing in pathophysiology, clinical presentation, and risk of comorbidities. We investigated early phenotypic differences between individuals who later developed diabetes, stratified by subgroup at diabetes diagnosis. Methods: We conducted a pooled analysis of nine prospective European cohorts with 3309 individuals developing incident diabete
For more than a century, the dairy industry has used high-pressure homogenization for size reduction of fat globules. The prevailing break-up mechanism, turbulence, has been thoroughly investigated and the equipment continuously optimized thereafter. However, the high-pressure homogenizer is also used in size reduction of plant cell structures, for example in production lines of plant-based bevera
Raw sediment samples which are without prior lengthy laboratory preparation can be used to obtain a rough but rapid estimate of the luminescence equivalent dose, and thus of the relative age of the sediment. In this study, we tested this range-finder method on clastic sediments in NE Poland for the first time, with special focus on Pleistocene meltwater sediments generated by highly energetic glac
Poor survival for breast cancer in low- and middle-income countries is largely attributed to late-stage diagnosis and limited access to diagnostic tools. Therefore, we propose using point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) as a low-cost diagnostic solution paired with a deep learning (DL) model for cancer detection. While using DL has shown great potential, it is crucial to ensure the trustworthiness of a
The field of organ transplantation is experiencing a transformative shift with the rise of Advanced Therapy Medicinal Products (ATMPs), which include gene therapies, somatic cell therapies, and tissue-engineered products. These therapies offer new, potentially curative treatments for longstanding medical challenges, impacting numerous patients. However, their adoption is hindered by complex regula
