Compared to intensive research on km-sized meteorite impact craters, fewer studies focus on smaller craters. The small craters are often hard or impossible to recognize using “classical” criteria like the presence of shatter cones, shocked quartz, and geochemical indicators. Therefore, a long list of candidate structures awaiting approval/disapproval of their origin has been formed over the last d
Introduction Mild traumatic brain injury is common in children and it can be challenging to accurately identify those in need of urgent medical intervention. The Scandinavian guidelines for management of minor and moderate head trauma in children, the Scandinavian Neurotrauma Committee guideline 2016 (SNC16), were developed to aid in risk stratification and decision-making in Scandinavian emergenc
To create an environmentally friendly road transport system is one of the main policy goals of the Swedish National Road Administration (Vägverket). In order to achieve this goal Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) has been introduced at all levels of road planning process at Vägverket. The role of EIA is to provide decision-makers with information about the possible consequences of a planned fa
In this study we analyze the intraday behaviour of stock returns and trading volume using the data on OMXS 30 stocks. We find that returns follow a reverse J-shaped pattern with the peak at the beginning of the trading day, while trading volume attains its maximum towards at the market closure. The highest volatility and kurtosis are observed at 09:30-10:00, and 11:30-12:00, when the macroeconomic
Using primary research from majority-Western respondents in conjunction with an array of multi-disciplinary secondary literature, this thesis acts as a response to claims of the overwhelming existence of ‘placelessness’ in our modernised and globalised world. Instead, it suggests that place attachment is alive and well in the West. Furthermore this thesis suggests that place attachment can be show
The end of the Decade of Education for Sustainable Development in the present year marked a scenario to evaluate the achievement made among nations. However the success of implementation of Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) is not equal as well the information available on the subject depens on the country. The aim of the thesis is to deliver a current status and recommendations for impr
Syftet med studien var att kvalitativt undersöka kvinnliga fotbollsspelares upplevelse av att nå elitnivå. Semistrukturerade intervjuer användes och totalt intervjuades tre deltagare. Intervjuerna analyserades med IPA (Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis) som metodologisk ansats. Totalt kunde fem teman urskiljas som centrala i upplevelsen av elitnivå: tankar och känslor kopplade till övergångThe purpose of this study was to qualitatively explore the experience of reaching the elite level for women in football. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with three participants. The interviews were analysed using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA). In total, five themes emerged: thoughts and feelings associated with reaching the elite level, social support, gender identity, m
Despite the hegemonic status of global health governance that favors the high-income countries (HICs), global health diplomacy (GHD) as a critical tool to manage health is an understudied subject particularly in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). This research illustrates how GHD is exercised in Indonesia by exploring the actors, their capacities, and the surrounding context. The aim of the
Studiens syfte var att nå en fördjupad förståelse av timeouter i handboll, hur de används och vad som kommuniceras. En fallstudie genomfördes med ett herrhandbollslag i den högsta divisionen i svensk handboll. En kombinerad kvantitativ och kvalitativ metod användes där tränarens kommunikation kategoriserades med hjälp av Hasties (1999) instrument för skattning av tränarkommunikation under timeout.The purpose of this study was to gain a deeper understanding of timeouts in handball, how they are used and what is communicated. A case study was performed with a men’s handball team in the top division in Swedish handball. A combined quantitative and qualitative method was used where the coach’s communication was categorized using Hastie’s (1999) instrument for assessment of coach communication

A computer program called IDAC-CAD2VOX has been constructed to create geometry input files from CAD drawings for the Monte Carlo simulation program MCNP. The ICRP reference phantoms are incorporated into the CAD drawings to estimate organ doses and the effective dose. The program is applied to a CAD drawing of a house and a 2D drawing of a radiation protection bunker. The created MCNP geometry wa
Standardized data definitions are essential for monitoring and benchmarking the quality of care and patient outcomes in observational studies and randomized controlled trials. There are no contemporary pan-European data standards for the acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The European Unified Registries for Heart Care Evaluation and Randomised Trials (EuroH
PURPOSE: To analyze the incidence and risk factors for posterior capsule rupture (PCR) in cataract surgery. SETTING: European clinics affiliated with the European Registry of Quality Outcomes for Cataract and Refractive Surgery (EUREQUO). DESIGN: Retrospective cross-sectional register-based study. METHODS: Data were obtained from the EUREQUO. The database contains data on demographics, comorbiditi
Background: Clinical research has shown that therapeutic hypothermia after neonatal hypoxic-ischemic injury improves survival without disability. There is no consensus regarding pain relief or sedation during therapeutic hypothermia in newborns; however, therapeutic hypothermia seems to be associated with pain and stress, and adequate analgesia and sedation are central to maximize the effect of th
