User-related assessment of a level 3 automated driving system, providing functions such as lane- and distance-keeping, stop & go driving, lane change and overtaking, was carried out on a motorway in Germany with the aim to assess user-related issues of automated driving, i.e., behavior when driving with automation on motorways, user experiences, reactions and acceptance. Twenty-one persons dro
The transition to green economies has been mediated by concrete cases and experiments in a variety of different industrial and social sectors. What is lacking, is research that would synthesize key findings and “lessons learned” across a variety of cases. In this study, we explore ten cases of green economy of different sectors and approaches from five European countries and identify factors that
The aim of the user-related assessment was to evaluate the effects on driver behaviour, experiences, reactions, expected effects and acceptance of the Highway Automation” system, developed by VW in sub-project 6 of the AdaptIVe IP. The driving functions were developed as level 3 (conditional automation) functions so the driver does not have to monitor the system while driving. The system provides
The causes and extent of regional inequality in the process of economic growth are at the core of historical economic research. So far, much attention has been devoted to studying the role of industrialization in driving regional divergence. But empirical studies on relatively unequal countries such as Italy or Spain show that inequality was already high when their modern industrialization began (
Wetlands in urban areas will be crucial to counteract the effects of climate change, for example, by improving flood protection and regulating local climate. To gain acceptance for larger-scale creation of wetlands, total values must be identified and revealed. Provisioning and regulating ecosystem services can be described as the quantitative effect, but cultural ecosystem services require other
BackgroundAt least 50% of all ambulance assignments are deemed nonurgent, while 47–96% are initiated by someone other than the patient. Previous research has highlighted the importance of being taken seriously. However, additional knowledge of how significant others experience the situation when a patient is assessed as nonurgent is needed.ObjectiveThe aim of this study was to explore the person‐c
Vilda djur påverkas ständigt av omgivningens temperatur som, tillsammans med ytterligare faktorer, styr många av de mönster och beteenden vi ser hos djur i naturen. Förändringar i temperatur kan till exempel påverka hur populationer och individer rör sig över tid och rum, när de väljer att fortplanta sig samt hur mycket föda som finns att tillgå. För jämnvarma djur, fåglar och däggdjur, som producAnimals constantly need to relate to prevailing environmental conditions and regulate their body temperature accordingly. Body temperature regulation in birds and mammals is inherently linked to energy expenditure and, thus, thermoregulation is a physiological mechanism that could trade-off with other costly processes, with potential long-term fitness consequences. In this thesis, I studied ecolog
Athletes constantly report experiences of momentum during athletic contests, and they consider momentum as being an important factor for the outcome of a competition. However, researchers trying to capture momentum with quantitative methods see themselves confronted with inconclusive results. To explain this gap between athletes’ belief and results from quantitative data, it is hypothesised that m
This paper examines how organizations for Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts in Sweden dealt with domestic and parental issues, from the movement’s inception in 1910 to 1960. The perspective is twofold. First, it discusses how ideals and expectations concerning participation in domestic matters differed for boys and girls. Were these gender roles stable or changeable? Secondly, it brings to light how pare
The development of inhibitory antibodies to factor VIII is a serious complication of haemophilia. Two haemostatic agents with different bypassing mechanisms have been used in the treatment of patients with inhibitors: activated prothrombin complex concentrate (aPCC) and recombinant factor VIIa (rFVIIa). The objective was to compare cost and outcome of aPCC and rFVIIa in the treatment of joint blee
African women farmers do not always benefit from and are sometimes adversely affected by the introduction of new technologies, including high-yielding varieties and their often-associated improved management systems. This paper seeks to further this claim in the wake of what has been referred to as "the NERICA Revolution" in Uganda, by providing an illustration of the impact the introduction of NE
Vineyard landscapes provide cultural ecosystem services (CES), which have been little studied in previous ecosystem services research. To fill this gap, we assess perspectives of wine producers and residents regarding CES provided by vineyards in two wine regions: Southeast England, an emerging wine area, and the counties of Sonoma and Napa, California (hereafter: Sonoma and Napa), a more traditio
The construction industry faces many challenges, among which sustainability has become a prominent global goal to assess. In a European context, environmental certifications such as the Nordic Swan Ecolabel are a key incentive for addressing sustainability challenges and aim to reach the 2030 goals (UNFCCC, 2015). However, these incentives and considerations must be integrated with the requirement
The effectiveness of early warning systems (EWS) is frequently emphasised as being dependent on the integration of vulnerability, yet such considerations are often argued as lacking in practice by international organisations and scientific communities. Although this is acknowledged by global initiatives, less attention has been given to understanding vulnerability integration from the perspectives
Syfte: Att undersöka vad framgångsrika mikroföretag inom detaljhandeln faktiskt gör inom området marknadsföring för att hålla sig vitala och konkurrenskraftiga på marknaden. Om möjligt även ge vissa generella rekommendationer till små fristående detaljhandlare baserat på vad vi hittar. Metod: Induktiv metod. Öppna kvalitativa intervjuer utfördes med företrädare för fyra framgångsrika små företag i
Vårt syfte med uppsatsen är att utreda vilka faktorer som är av vikt för en framgångsrik förändringsprocess samt vilken påverkan ledarskap har på faktorerna. Vi genomförde en kvalitativ undersökning där vi intervjuade tio personer som är yrkesverksamma på två hotell i Sverige. Vi intervjuade respondenterna om den förändringsprocess som ett hotellkedjebyte innebär, och om den ledarstil hotellens ge
Klimatförändringarna gör världen successivt varmare, förändrar nederbördsmönster, höjer havsytenivån, med mera. Klimatet har redan förändrats och i alla fall en viss fortsatt förändring är oundviklig på grund av tidigare och pågående växthusgasutsläpp. Hur stora klimatförändringarna blir på sikt beror i första hand på beslut om och åtgärder för att minska vår klimatpåverkan, det vill säga utsläpp
Background: Knowledge about social determinants of health has influenced global health strategies, including early childhood interventions. Some psychosocial circumstances - such as poverty, parental mental health problems, abuse and partner violence - increase the risk of child maltreatment and neglect. Healthcare professionals' awareness of psychosocial issues is of special interest, since they
Popular Abstract in Swedish Syftet med denna avhandling var att definiera och utveckla begreppet hälsofrämjande i psykiatrisk vård samt att utveckla ett frågeformulär som syftar till att mäta patientens upplevelser av hälsofrämjande interventioner i psykiatrisk vård. Deltagarna bestod av 12 patienter i studie I och 12 sjuksköterskor i studie II samt 135 patienter i studie III och IV, alla deltagar
