The aim was to study the psychometric properties of the Swedish version of the Chronic Pain Coping Inventory. The material consisted of a group of 100 subjects recruited from a large population study. Pain status and the absence of pain-related sick leave during the previous year conditioned inclusion. Another group comprised 160 patients on the long-term sick list and who had been referred to a m
This article presents a study aiming to explore and evaluate acoustic comfort in residential multistory buildings in Sweden. Acoustic data was associated to self-reported responses acquired by a survey: a questionnaire was setup researching the response to noise annoyance from multiple sources in a flat and the emotional reactions of tenants to the acoustic climate at home. An assessment of acoust
The present survey study focuses on potential benefits of the SI-PASS experience for former Leaders in their professional life after graduating from higher education. This topic has received little attention previously with the few studies made being limited in number of participants and different in approaches used and in questions asked. The present survey was sent to 279 former SI-PASS Leaders
Patients with childhood, adolescent, and young adult cancer who will be treated with gonadotoxic therapies are at increased risk for infertility. Many patients and their families desire biological children but effective communication about treatment-related infertility risk and procedures for fertility preservation does not always happen. The PanCareLIFE Consortium and the International Late Effec
This thesis focuses mainly on the co-integration of vertical nanowiren-type InAs and p-type GaSb MOSFETs on Si (Paper I & II), whereMOVPE grown vertical InAs-GaSb heterostructure nanowires areused for realizing monolithically integrated and co-processed all-III-V CMOS.Utilizing a bottom-up approach based on MOVPE grown nanowires enablesdesign flexibilities, such as in-situ doping and heterostr
Infection with high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) is causally related to cervical, vulvar and vaginal pre-invasive neoplasias and cancers. Highly effective vaccines against HPV types 16/18 have been available since 2006, and are currently used in many countries in combination with cervical cancer screening to control the burden of cervical cancer. We estimated the overall and age-specific incide
A major problem when studying behavior and migration of small organisms is that many of the questions addressed for larger animals are not possible to formulate due to constraints on tracking smaller animals. In aquatic ecosystems, this problem is particularly problematic for zoo- and phytoplankton, since tracking devices are too heavy to allow the organism to act naturally. However, recent advanc
With the calls raised in “buy clean” within green public procurement (GPP) for construction, recently, low-carbon procurement (LCP), the subset GPP is getting more and more attention. However, not many academic publications explore LCP for public buildings or infrastructure projects. Moreover, it appears that little research further investigates its influence on the decarbonization of hard-to-abat
Course: SMTX07, Master level. 15 hp. Spring 2010 Authors: Amir Amini Harati, Nosherwan Bajwa, Daniel Djukic Title: Emotional management – A painful necessity Fellow advisor: Jan E. Persson, Carl R. Hellberg Purpose: The purpose of this study is to better understand how the lead controls and optimizes frontline staff's feelings in different service encounters. To fulfill our purpose we have cho
Det finns några pågående projekt som provocerar fram väldigt många och starka åsikter men få har involverat så många kvalificerade och uttalanden som Nobelcenter som planerades att byggas på Blasieholmen i Stockholm. Jag vill därför utforska projektet, läsa in vad som utmärkte vinnaren, vad som nu bromsade det samt utforska hur ett alternativ hade sett ut som jobbar med kritiken men ändå är placer
Hur bör de senaste decenniernas utveckling inom IT och pedagogik påverka utformningen av nya lärandemiljöer? Kan skolarkitektur bidra till att främja god fysisk och psykisk hälsa? Arbetssätt och målsättningar har ändrats mycket inom den svenska skolan under de senaste decennierna. Informationsteknologi har i grunden ändrat tillgängligheten till information och påverkat hur vi både arbetar och koHow should the technological and pedagogical development during the last few decades affect the design of new schools? Can school architecture contribute to good physical and mental health in young teenagers? The way of working and targets for what the students should achieve have changed a lot in Sweden during the last few decades. Information technology has fundamentally changed the ease of ac
Sweden has set a climate goal that emissions generated by businesses within Sweden by 2045 should be at least 85% lower than emissions in 1990. In 2017, the construction and real estate sector accounted for 19 % of Sweden's total greenhouse gas emissions. A large part of a building's climate impact occurs during the product phase. The foundation is part of a building’s design which signifi
Children who grow up with a parent with an addiction and/or mental illness are at higher risk of developing the same disorder. There are children who even when growing up under rough conditions succeed to overcome their childhood and grow up to be “normal” citizens. These children have a high level of resilience and are usually referred to as Superkids. The aim of this study was to understand what
X-ray phase-contrast imaging is a powerful technique that allows great resolving power for low absorbing samples, such as biological tissue. This method relies on measuring the phase shift induced by the sample instead of the absorption traditional radiography relies on. This phase shift is measured as an intensity modulation at the detector and by using various algorithms one can obtain informati
Widespread increases in iron (Fe) concentrations are contributing to ongoing browning of northern freshwaters, but the driver/s behind the trends are not known. Fe mobilization in soils is known to be controlled by redox conditions, pH, and DOC availability for complexation. Moreover, high sulfate concentrations have been suggested to constrain Fe in transition from soil to water, and declining su
The main purpose of this study was to establish to what extent undergraduate students use reference services, what knowledge they have about those services and what their views of them are. The survey took place at Lund University Library, UB1, the main library responsible for collections in social sciences, humanities, theology and law. A total of 476 undergraduate students were asked to fill in
