Smärta är vanligt förkommande efter ortopediska operationer och behöver behandlas för att minska lidande och risken för postoperativa komplikationer. Trots att vikten av smärtlindring är känd existerar hinder för att uppnå god smärtlindring. Syftet var att belysa patienters erfarenhet av smärta med huvudfokus på smärtlindring efter en ortopedisk operation. En litteraturstudie med integrerad analy
Analogue atomic spectral lines from different isotopes display a small shift in energy, commonly referred as the frequency isotope shift. One of the components of the isotope shift is the field shift, which depends on the extent and the shape of the nuclear charge density distribution. In this work, we investigate how sensitive field shifts are with respect to variations in the nuclear size and sh
There is an ongoing shift to mobility in business IT, as well as in the consumer space. Users do not demand mobile availability anymore, they simply expect the ability to access business IT with consumer devices. Stemming from this demand, mobile business intelligence (BI) has emerged as a response from the BI industry. Thus, mobile BI is an extension of traditional BI into mobile devices. In line
A proteoglycan is a protein with at least one glycosidic chain or glycosaminoglycan (GAG) covalently bound to it. Since a common linker between the core protein and the GAG chain has a xylose present, the biosynthesis of GAGs can be primed using xylosides containing hydrophobic aglycons providing that these xylosides are capable of penetrating the cell membrane. 2-naphthyl β-D-xylopyranoside prim
Chitosan films for food packaging applications were prepared from shrimp and cricket chitosan, enriched with Schisandra chinensis extract. Physicochemical and antibacterial properties of the films were studied and compared with references studying similar chitosan films. Chitosan is a biodegradable polymer, mostly harvested from shells of crustaceans, which has been studied for packaging applicati
In this project catalysts have been analyzed, in the sense of size and composition, using a Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM). This important class of substances are used to facilitate chemical reactions, in everything from specific molecular research to conversion car emissions which explains the importance of research. Nanoparticles of gold (Au) have been shown to have good catalytic perfor
This thesis examines if there are any differences depending on gender in interpretation of the procedural requirement ”socially destructive behaviour” in the LVU. Furthermore, if ethics and expectations about gender influence transpiracy and legal certainty in these cases. The purpose is to find out if there are moral codes and expectations about how a girl or a boy should behave, which are not a
This meta-analysis synthesized 60 effect sizes from 41 papers (overall N = 17.226), about the relation between self-efficacy beliefs and creativity. Taken as a whole, the relation between those two constructs, assuming a random-effects model, is with r = .39 of medium size, as was proposed. Further subgroup analyses revealed a pattern of self-rated creativity measures (r = .53) those which use ite
Syftet med denna uppsats är att studera mediala fenomen i Gertrud Hellbrands romaner vinthunden (2004) och Scenario X (2008). Analysen är i huvudsak baserad på perspektiv hämtade från det intermediala och queerteoretiska forskningsfältet. För att studera mediala inslag, samband och samspel använder jag mig av en medialitetsmodell som fokuserar på intra-, inter- och transmediala fenomen, mellan med
Drones used for illegal purposes is a growing problem and a way to detect these is needed. This thesis has evaluated the possibility of using sound analysis as the detection mechanism. A solution using linear predictive coding, the slope of the frequency spectrum and the zero crossing rate was evaluated. The results showed that a solution using linear predictive coding and the slope of the frequen
This paper examines the impact of years of schooling on female employment decisions and on the intensity of employment by using the variation across countries and over birth cohorts in compulsory schooling reforms. The sample includes women aged 25 to 64 from five eurozone countries and the data covers the year of 2010. The findings suggest that years of schooling do not have a significant effect
Thermoelectric elements have long been anticipated to challenge conventional solutions for converting heat to electricity. However, the revolution has been stalled due to the inability to reach efficiencies comparable to their conventional counterparts, while retaining a high output power. In this work we will model a thermoelectric element based on nanowires embedded with a quantum dot superlattice
The purpose of this thesis Conducted Improvisation is to study how a musical sign language can effect creativity, musical interaction and sense of freedom in ensemble playing by analyzing Extemporize, a sign system I have developed, with the further goal to explore the pedagogical potential in this practice. The research questions that drive this study are: In what ways does the sign system effect

This study aimed to investigate parents’ attitudes towards pedophilia, i.e. their knowledge about pedophilia, stigma of pedophiles and how the society should react to child sexual abuse. Twenty participants were conducted into the survey to answer questions. The study revealed that parents’ attitudes against pedophiles and child molesters were negative and that pedophiles elicited fear in partici

Informationssäkerhet är idag en stor angelägenhet för organisationer runt om i världen. I takt med att den tekniska utvecklingen går framåt skapas allt fler sätt där känslig information blir utsatt för externa hot. Det finns idag många studier kring informationssäkerhet där granskning sker gällande den mänskliga faktorn, som är en viktig komponent inom detta område. Den mänskliga faktorn innebär ä

In the year 2013 one fourth of the Swedish population felt some kind of health problems caused by their work environment. Approximately 300 000 people that same year hade to report in sick in at least one day, which is 6 % of the employed population of Sweden. This study shows that the work environment has several ways to cause the workers’ health problems. Noise might cause hearing loss, poor li
De svenska reglerna om principalansvar trädde i kraft 1972, när en ny skadeståndslag antogs av Riksdagen. Innan denna tidpunkt hade regler om principalansvar utvecklats i rättspraxis, men omfattningen av detta ansvar hade varit väldigt begränsad. I de flesta fall hade en arbetsgivare inte kunnat hållas ansvarig för de skador som hans anställda vållat i tjänsten. När regler om principalansvar intoThe Swedish regulation of vicarious liability entered into force in 1972, when a new Liability for Damages Act was passed by the parliament. Prior to this point in time, a concept of vicarious liability had developed in Swedish case law, but the scope of such liability had been very limited. In most cases, an employer would not have been held responsible for tortious acts caused by his employees i
