The aim of this master's thesis is to gain knowledge about users and non-users views about the public librarian profession. By interviewing users as well as non-users of public libraries we want to examine similarities and differences in views between these two groups. We also want to examine how the views of these two groups can relate to stereotypes of the public librarian identified in prev

Att använda sig av AI har blivit allt mer populärt hos företag och vi ser idag hur delar av rekryteringsprocessen har blivit allt mer präglade av intelligenta maskiner. I den här utvecklingen ingår framförallt screeningprocessen inom rekrytering där CV granskas i förhand av en intelligent maskin istället för en människa. Det har rapporterats allt mer om fysiska rekryteringsrobotar i media som kan

Sverige har skrivit under internationella konventioner om mänskliga rättigheter, vilka säger att diskriminering är ett brott mot den enskilde människans rättigheter.

Dansk och svensk invandringspolitik har tidigare forskats mycket om, men hur ett av landets media skriver om grannlandets invandringspolitik finns det ännu utrymme att fortskrida. Det är två länder som i många avseenden anses vara lika, men va

Syftet med denna uppsats är att diskutera möjliga vägar framåt för att uppnå en samtyckeskultur. Därför ställs frågan hur lärare upplever sina möjligheter att påverka ungas attityder, i relation till sexuellt våld.

The following question is being raised; in which ways do teachers have opportunities to influence their students attitudes in relation to sexual violence. Teachers are regarded as holding a key position in the process of shaping the public service, and in the implementing process of political decisions at grass ro

Gambling disorder is a major public health issue in many countries. It has been defined as a persistent, recurrent pattern of gambling and is associated with substantial distress or impairment, lower quality of life, and living with a plurality of psychiatric problems. Many people suffering from gambling disorder seek help in ways other than formal treatment seeking, including self-management stra

The pursuit of commercialization is at the core of economic activity, and limited commercialization success is generally ascribed to the lower scalability or potential of the venture. Drawing on the anti-profit-taking socio-institutional perspective and innovation resistance theory, commercialization of a value-creating technology could be resisted from the demand side. We use a 3D surgical video

While urbanization provides many opportunities to those arriving in thriving urban areas, a greater number of residents necessitates the expansion of housing and infrastructure. This is often achieved through densification, which can lead to increased noise, particularly through increased road traffic. A key challenge of promoting healthy urban planning is to understand potential health effects, e

Bedömning av varaktig oförmåga till arbete kom att vara av-görande för majoriteten av de beviljade förtidspensionerna under den allmänna pensionens första dryga 20 år. Till en början krävdes inte läkarintyg för att ansöka om förtidspension. Förslag om krav på läkarintyg framkom dock vid flera tillfällen – men läkarkåren var inte odelat positiv till den ökade arbetsbördan med intyg.

Raised blood pressure (BP) is the leading cause of preventable death in the world. Yet, its global prevalence is increasing, and it remains poorly detected, treated, and controlled in both high- and low-resource settings. From the perspective of members of the International Society of Hypertension based in all regions, we reflect on the past, present, and future of hypertension care, highlighting

Monochloramine is used to regulate microbial regrowth in drinking water distribution systems (DWDS) but produces carcinogenic disinfection byproducts and constitutes a source of energy for nitrifying bacteria. This study followed biofilm-dispersed microbial communities of a full-scale DWDS distributing ultrafiltered water over three years, before and after removal of monochloramine. Communities we

Importance: Disulfiram has demonstrated broad antitumoral effect in several preclinical studies. One of the proposed indications is for the treatment of glioblastoma. Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of disulfiram and copper as add-on to alkylating chemotherapy in patients with recurrent glioblastoma. Design, Setting, and Participants: This was a multicenter, open-label, randomized p

AIMS: This post hoc analysis of the ATHENA trial (NCT00174785) assessed the effect of dronedarone on the estimated burden of atrial fibrillation (AF)/atrial flutter (AFL) progression to presumed permanent AF/AFL, and regression to sinus rhythm (SR), compared with placebo. METHODS AND RESULTS: The burden of AF/AFL was estimated by a modified Rosendaal method using available electrocardiograms (ECG)

Background and aims: The lockdown of sports and gambling venues during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic caused a fear of increased gambling on other online gambling types, with a risk for transfer to more addictive gambling than otherwise. This study aimed to estimate changes in gambling activity during COVID-19-affected periods among all gamblers at a Swedish state-owned gambling

Communication between sound and music experts is based on the shared understanding of a metaphorical vocabulary derived from other sensory modalities. Yet, the impact of sound expertise on the mental representation of these sound concepts remains blurry. To address this issue, we investigated the acoustic portraits of four metaphorical sound concepts (brightness, warmth, roundness, and roughness)

Recombinant protein-based SARS-CoV-2 vaccines are needed to fill the vaccine equity gap. Because protein-subunit based vaccines are easier and cheaper to produce and do not require special storage/transportation conditions, they are suitable for low-/middle-income countries. Here, we report our vaccine development studies with the receptor binding domain of the SARS-CoV-2 Delta Plus strain (RBD-DP
