Popular Abstract in Swedish I forskningsarbetet som presenteras i denna avhandling har säkerhetskulturen studerats inom sjö- och flygtransportbranscherna med fokus på individers attityder och uppfattningar om säkerhetskulturen. En säkerhetskultur avspeglar de attityder, uppfattningar och värderingar som individer i en organisation delar när det gäller säkerheten. Säkerhetskulturen identifieras oftThe research presented in this thesis investigates sea and aviation transport safety culture, with a focus on perceptions and attitudes. A safety culture reflects the attitudes, beliefs, perceptions, and values that individuals share in relation to safety. Safety culture is often identified as being essential to an organization's ability to manage safety-related aspects of its operations. The aims

Receptor tyrosine kinases, such as c-Kit, are proteins whose function it is to transduce signals from the environment into the cell leading to complex behaviors such as proliferation, migration, survival and differentiation. Many of these behaviors are deregulated in cancer, which is characterized by uncontrolled proliferation, insensitivity towards death stimuli, migration of tumor cells away fro

The deactivation of alumina-supported platinum catalyst for VOC oxidation by long-term exposure for hexamethyldisiloxane (HMDS) has been investigated in a pilot scale reactor for up to 1000 h of exposure. Catalyst samples were characterized by ICP-AES, BET and silicon deposition by SEM. Catalyst activity was investigated using oxidation of ethyl acetate showing deactivation of the catalyst samples

This paper focuses on the on-going doctoral research of the writer. Specifically, the topic of this article is on the methodology, the theoretical approach and the first steps of the research. The general aim is the contribution of 3D documentation and the 3D digital approach to the stylistic and typological study of archaeological collections. The study is applied to the collection of the Ayia Ir

Wounds are classified as acute or chronic. Acute wounds are divided into traumatic and surgical. In intact skin, the normal bacterial colonization is balanced. A wound jeopardizes this balance and infection may occur. In acute wounds, the presence of particular bacterial species such as Staphylococcus aureus seems to be a risk factor for the occurrence of an infection. To reduce the risk of surgic

Resistance to activated protein C (APC) is a major cause of familial thrombophilia, and can be corrected by an anticoagulant activity expressed by purified factor V. We investigated linkage between APC resistance and the factor V gene in a large kindred with familial thrombophilia. Restriction fragment length polymorphisms in exon 13 of the factor V gene were informative in 14 family members. The

In the 1600s, Helsingborg was a small market town with great importance as a transport and trade connection between Scandinavia and the rest of Europe. Caught in the middle between two empires, Denmark and Sweden, the lives of Helsingborg residents were affected by wars, plagues and political disturbances. This thesis investigates the status of Helsingborg as a contested periphery town in relation

This study examines the construction and performance of marital rites within the Modern Asatru movement, focusing on the Swedish Community of Forn Sed Sweden from 1996 to 2009. Using the newsletter Mimers Källa as the primary source, the study explores how rituals are shaped using Catherine Bell’s theories of ritual adaptivity and orthodoxy/orthopraxy. Findings reveal that these rituals are highly

A major challenge with single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) fingerprinting of bacteria and higher organisms is the combination of genome-wide screenings with the potential of multiplexing and accurate SNP detection. Single-nucleotide extension by the minisequencing principle represents a technology that both is highly accurate and enables multiplexing. A current bottleneck for direct genome analys

We present detailed low-temperature transport measurements of a single quantum dot formed in an InGaAs/InP heterostructure with a strong tunnel coupling to the source and drain leads. The conventional spin-1/2 Kondo effect is observed for the quantum dot in the N = 9 charge state. By changing the voltages applied to the quantum dot barrier gates, we find a zero-field splitting of the Kondo resonan

This study measures the impact of fanya juu terraces on the net value of crop income in a high-rainfall area in the Ethiopian highlands using cross-sectional multiple plot observations. Using propensity score matching methods we find that the net value of crop income for plots with fanya juu terraces is lower than for plots without fanya juu terraces. This finding makes it difficult to avoid concl

Arbetet handlar om pedagogikens roll för att underlätta bemötandet mellan vårdare och patient och därigenom åstadkomma lärande i riktning mot en förbättrad hälsa. I detta fall begränsas undersökningen till tandvården och mötet mellan tandhygienist och patient. Förutom att ha en god kunskap om tandvård och munhälsa krävs det att tandhygienister lyckas nå ut med sin information och i visa fall få pa
