OBJECTIVES: Acrylate-styrene copolymer polish has been used to protect the surface of linoleum flooring since the 1960s. Problems with powdering of floor polish were observed at an early stage. In a secondary school in Linkoping, Sweden, this phenomenon occurred in the winter of 1994-1995 and the pupils frequently reported irritative symptoms from the eyes and airways. This study was undertaken to

Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingen behandlar kapacitet i cirkulationsplatser. Kapaciteten för ett körfält i en tillfart kan beräknas med teorin för kritiska tidsavstånd. Denna bygger på interaktioner mellan fordon med företräde (överordnade fordon) och fordon som skall lämna företräde (underordnade fordon). Det kritiska tidsavståndet är det minsta tidsavstånd mellan två överordnade fordon soProblem: The thesis deals with the capacity of two-lane roundabouts and with vehicle-vehicle interactions there. Method: The interactions and the corresponding capacity are modelled by gap-acceptance theory. Various components of this theory are discussed, models for headways in the multi-lane case and for the estimation of critical gaps for the two major streams being developed and being applied

In a web service environment, such as Parlay X, contracts are agreed between the involved participants to guarantee a reasonable measure of Quality of Service (QoS). A common policy adopted is for contracts to involve only one parameter which places a limit on the number of incoming operation calls. This constraint is expressed as the maximum number of operation calls per second that a source is a

Autoantigen discovery is a critical challenge for the understanding and diagnosis of autoimmune diseases. While autoantibody markers in current clinical use have been identified through studies focused on individual disorders, we postulated that a reverse approach starting with a putative autoantigen to explore multiple disorders might hold promise. We here targeted the epidermal protein transglut

Background: A consistent imaging biomarker to standardize the evaluation of change in bone scan is an unmet need for patients (pts) with bone metastasis. BSI is quantitative interpretation of bone scan in pts with metastatic prostate cancer (mPCa). Here we have performed analytical and clinical studies to evaluate the change in computer automated BSI as a consistent imaging biomarker in pts with m

Background: Individuals with intellectual disability (ID) are less physically active, have a higher body mass index (BMI) and are at greater risk for cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) than people without ID. The purpose of the study was to explore the effectiveness of a web-based training programme, consisting of 150 min of activity per week, on the health of people with ID. Method: Participants with

Topology optimization is used to design phononic bandgap materials that are tunable by mechanical deformation. A periodic media is considered, which due to the assumption of length scale separation, allows the dispersion relations to be obtained by analyzing a single unit cell subjected to Floquet–Bloch boundary conditions. A finite macroscopic deformation is applied to the unit cell to affect its

The Secret Diaries of Miss Anne Lister (2010) and Gentleman Jack (2019–2022) are both television dramas based on the private journals of Anne Lister (1791–1840). The diaries were not only partly written in code but make use of idiosyncratic terms, and the two adaptations deal in different ways with the language used in the diaries. This essay examines the language of Anne Lister’s diaries and comp

This chapter focuses on society's construction in normative terms and, thereby, tries to lay the foundation for a theory based on the strategy of anatomy applied to society. Anatomy is that part of biology that deals with how organisms are built. All living organisms consist of cells that are structured in different types of tissues, which, in turn, build up the organs. Society starts over again f

Expanding service coverage and achieving universal health coverage (UHC) is a priority for many low- and middle-income countries. Though UHC is a long-term goal, its importance and relevance have only increased since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. The first step on the road to UHC is to define and develop essential packages of health services (EPHSs), a list of clinical and public health serv

This study aims to comprehend how German citizens’ understanding of public organizations’ branding, as exemplified by the Bundeswehr, shapes their conception of these organizations. Using a qualitative research methodology, semi-structured interviews supported by photo-elicitation were conducted with German citizens of different demographic groups to better understand public opinion. The study ide

This thesis examines the relationship between autonomous weapon systems and the legal framework governing the choice of means and methods of war-fare in armed conflict. It examines autonomous weapon systems within the context of international humanitarian law, with a particular focus on the con-duct of hostilities. The research highlights the distinction between means of warfare – referring to the

Information- and data literacy, the ability to critically examine and evaluate information and arguments in relation to empirical evidence, is increasingly crucial in a world overflowing with data and information from a multitude of sources. Information- and data literacy in younger students being understudied, we investigate these skills in Swedish 6th graders to learn more about the educational
