The purpose of the study was to (1) observe the frequency of giving way to pedestrians at the zebra crossing, (2) reveal speed adaptation problems, (3) examine if the time difference between the arrival of the pedestrian and the car have any influence on the speed of the approaching car, (4) identify so-called “ideal” situations (in which the car brakes on the driver’s own initiative in order to g
BACKGROUND: Almost every country in the Western world has great difficulties allocating enough financial resources to meet the needs in the care of the increasing elderly population. The main problem is common to all countries and concerns the efforts to meet elderly persons' needs on an individual level while still maintaining society's responsibility for distributing justice. The aim of this stu
Prophylaxis is defined as the regular administration of clotting factor concentrates to prevent bleeding. Extensive data from observational studies and a recent randomized controlled trial (have established that early prophylactic treatment prevents bleeds and arthropathy in boys with severe haemophilia. The initiation of prophylaxis in young children remains challenging. To prevent arthropathy, p
According to honest signalling theory, signals must be costly to produce to retain information about the signaller's quality. The song produced by male birds during breeding is a vocal "ornament" used for intra- and inter-sexual purposes. The energetic cost of this vocal signal remains a contentious issue. We used the doubly labelled water method to measure field metabolic rate by estimating CO2 p
Background: Prevention of arthropathy is a major goal of hemophilia treatment. While studies in adults have demonstrated an impact of prophylaxis on the incidence of joint bleeds and patients' well-being in terms of improved quality of life (QoL), it is unclear whether or not prophylaxis influences the outcome and well-being perception of children with hemophilia. Objective: This randomized contro
Public transport plays a major role in sustainable development of urban areas. However, transportation and infrastructure have to be efficient and in line with the wishes and demand of passengers. Local people have knowledge and experiences of the quality of services they want. When locals are involved, they include grass-root knowledge about ecology, environment, local livelihood problems and res
The possibility to make environmental strategy a part of the core strategy through a framework called inside-out/outside-in was suggested by Porter in 2007. Researchers have also stated that the output of implementing a certain strategy ought to be valued during strategy planning. The two areas; environmental strategy and profitability analysis have although not frequently been combined, and thus
Background There is currently no standardized process for long-term follow-up care. As a result, management of post-stroke care varies greatly, and the needs of stroke survivors are not fully addressed. The Post Stroke Checklist was developed by the Global Stroke Community Advisory Panel as a means of standardizing long-term stroke care. Since its development, the Post Stroke Checklist has gained
Cross-sectional studies have associated obesity and other components of the so-called metabolic syndrome with low-grade inflammation. The temporal and causal relations of this association have not been fully explored. This study explored whether elevated levels of inflammation-sensitive plasma proteins (ISPs) (fibrinogen, orosomucoid, {alpha}1-antitrypsin, haptoglobin, and ceruloplasmin) are assoc
Mitigation of vasomotor symptoms and urogenital problems, along with reductions in osteoporosis and cardiovascular disease, provides the rationale for using hormone replacement therapy (HRT), and the duration of use. However, user surveys have indicated poor compliance with HRT, and that means user time may be less than 12 months, a period unlikely to influence metabolic disorders. The main reason
Due to the Basel III regulations, Value-at-Risk (VaR) as a risk measure has become increasingly important in Europe for financial institutions. But even though it has become an important risk measure, both internally within company reporting and externally due to legislation, there is no one single way to forecast VaR that has yet proven to be superior. The aim of this paper is to examine differen
Background: The need for a mobile workforce inevitably means that the length of the total work day (working and traveling time) will increase, but the health effects of commuting have been surprisingly little studied apart from perceived stress and the benefits of physically active commuting. Methods: We used data from two cross-sectional population-based public health surveys performed in 2004 an
Imaging plays a crucial role in studying and understanding cerebral small vessel disease. Several important findings have emerged from recent applications of advanced brain imaging methods. In patients with acute lacunar syndromes, diffusionweighted MRI studies have shown that the diagnostic precision of using clinical features alone or combined with CT scan findings to diagnose small vessel disea
Fibromyalgi är ett kroniskt muskelsyndrom av okänd etiologi med bl a. muskelvärk, sömnsvårigheter och trötthet som drabbar framför allt kvinnor. Syftet med studien var att belysa hur fibromyalgi påverkar livet samt undersöka olika åtgärder som kan vidtagas för att underlätta livssituationen för den drabbade. Studien är en litteraturstudie. Resultatet av denna studie visade att de mest påtagliga li
The main aim of the thesis is, first, to present a theoretical and methodological perspective for the study of postmodern theory in historiography; second, to discuss and evaluate earlier research on the subject; and third, to show that historians must be more self-reflexive about their explicit as well as implicit theoretical and philosphical premises. My theoretical and methodological inspiratio
This edited volume, Excellent MSc Dissertations 2020, is the fifth in the series that collects postgraduate dissertations written by students who undertook the MSc degree in Media and communication studies at Lund University in Sweden, and graduated in June 2020. The five chapters in this volume represent work originally presented and evaluated as part of the final thesis exams in May of 2020, in
