Popular Abstract in Swedish Utgångspunkten för denna avhandling har varit att studera användningen av datorer i arbetet utifrån ett mer holistiskt perspektiv än vad som varit brukligt i tidigare traditionell hälsoforskning om datoranvändning, genom att även inkludera arbetsinnehållet som inte utförs med hjälp av datorn. Avhandlingens ansatts skiljer sig således från tidigare traditionell hälsoforsThis thesis aims at investigating computer use at work from a more holistic work content perspective by also studying non-computer work content, in contrast to the previous approach in occupational health research that focused almost solely on computer work content. It was argued here that non-computer work content has also become significant to the overall work situation for computer users. This

When a system is maintained, its automated test suites must also be maintained to keep the tests up to date. Even though practice indicates that test suite maintenance can be very costly we have seen few studies considering the actual efforts for maintenance of testware. We conducted a case study on an evolving system with three updated versions, changed with three different change strategies.

Popular Abstract in Swedish Leukemi, "det vita blodet", var ursprungligen en beskrivande diagnos på tillstånd där leukocyter (vita blodkroppar), eller snarare deras maligna, d.v.s. canceromvandlade former, tillväxte i sådan grad att de trängde undan andra blodbildande celler. I en sådan situation drabbas patienterna av blodbrist, infektioner och blödningar. Med tiden har vi lärt oss särskilja olik

center dot The transient receptor potential (TRP) channel superfamily has been shown to be involved in nociception and mechanosensory transduction in various organ systems, and studies of the LUT have indicated that several TRP channels, including TRPV1, TRPV2, TRPV4, TRPM8, and TRPA1, are expressed in the bladder, and may act as sensors of stretch and/or chemical irritation. center dot However, t

Moving beyond the distinction between biological and social facts has proved challenging due to several basic methodological and ontological differences among scientific disciplines. The aim of this paper is to show how attention schema theory (hereafter AST), developed by Michael Graziano, provides a useful addition to existing integrative approaches that can be used to overcome impediments to inMoving beyond the distinction between biological and social facts has proved challenging due to several basic methodological and ontological differences among scientific disciplines.

Anxiety is a natural emotional response to stress, fear, or danger. Then, it is no wonder why some are experiencing anxiety in the face of the climate crisis. Although not a clinical diagnosis, climate anxiety – and related terms like eco-anxiety, ecological grief, and solastalgia – describes the distress, grief, or anger caused by environmental destruction occurring now, or presumed to occur in t

We introduce and provide a new data-set of species-specific ecological indicator values (alternative ‘Ellenberg values’ for climatic variables, light, moisture, soil reaction/pH, salinity, nitrogen and phosphorus plus response to management and disturbance), physiological and reproductive traits (including symbionts, phenology, pol- linators, nectar production, seed properties), indices of relevanWe introduce and provide a new data-set of species-specific ecological indicator values (alternative ‘Ellenberg values’ for climatic variables, light, moisture, soil reaction/pH, salinity, nitrogen and phosphorus plus response to management and disturbance), physiological and reproductive traits (including symbionts, phenology, pol- linators, nectar production, seed properties), indices of relevan

This paper proposes a cohesive and comprehensive framework for perceptual product experience (PPE). The framework aims at bringing together the variety of perceptual experiences that we may have when encountering products and objects. Apart from the core sensorial, cognitive and affective modes, the framework takes into account that any experience has dimensions of presentation and representation,

Determination of absolute activity of 99mTc and 123I in organs for the purpose of patient-specific dosimetry in nuclear medicine examinations and therapy is of great importance. In order to make accurate quantification of the organ content from planar gamma camera images of phantoms, several corrections has to be made. The accuracy of a number of correction methods and different combinations of th

Patients who are in need of a new kidney and who have a living donor may not be able to receive a kidney from the donor because of blood- or tissue-type incompatibilities. If patient-donor pairs exchange kidneys, more kidney transplants can be performed. In Sweden, no system for kidney exchange exists. This thesis investigates how many more Swedish kidney patients could receive a new kidney if a s
