Bakgrund: Risken att drabbas av bensår ökar med ålder och därmed kan antas ett ökande behov av sårvård samt kompressionsbehandling. Det har visat sig att kompressionsbehandling botar cirka 75 % av samtliga typer av venösa bensår orsakade av antingen ytlig eller djup venös insufficiens på sex månader. Trots att kompressionsbehandling är avgörande vid behandling av venösa sår är följsamheten låg. Br

Misstänkta matförgiftningar uppskattas uppgå till 500 000 fall per år i Sverige, trots tillgängliga utbildningar inom livsmedelssäkerhet, tätare livsmedelskontroll från myndigheten, och skärpta lagar och regler (Norling, 1994). Sedan 1990-talet har det förts diskussioner om att införa ett "obligatoriskt matkörkort" för att förbättra situationen. Men någon sådan licens finns inte idag. LiDespite available training in food safety, regular inspections from the authorities and strict laws and regulations, the number of suspected food poisoning is estimated at 500,000 cases per year in Sweden (Norling, 1994). Since the 1990s, there have been discussions about introducing a "mandatory food driver's license" to improve food safety in Sweden. But no such license exists toda

Food production is a critical component of global livelihoods and economic revenue. However, storing harvested food presents challenges in minimizing post-harvest losses. Among various methods, food drying has emerged as a popular technique for preserving food during off-seasons. The Solar Food project aims to design an affordable solar-powered food dryer that enhances the drying process and main

The study presents the design, construction, and performance evaluation of a direct solar dryer with a focus on enhancing the post-harvest preservation of fruits. The increasing demand for the dry fruits in both the local and export markets demand effective and environmentally friendly drying methods. Conventional sun-drying (open air drying) techniques are labor-intensive, time consuming, and

Purpose: Formula E, the electric counterpart to Formula 1, has not achieved the same level of popularity among consumers. The purpose of this paper is to understand why Formula E has not been as successful as Formula 1 and the barriers to consumer adoption of Formula E. Design/Methodology/Approach: This paper employs a qualitative approach through multiple case studies on Formula 1 and Formula E.

Purpose: With this paper, the authors aim to explore the dynamic relationship between architectural design and brand identity, particularly emphasizing how McDonald's stores have evolved to reflect the essence of the brand over time. Design/methodology/approach: Historical analysis of McDonald’s restaurant designs and layouts from different sources such as the corporate website, news reports,

Att återkalla ett permanent uppehållstillstånd är ett mycket ingripande beslut som kan påverka den enskildes trygghet. Av den anledningen ska den en-skildes trygghet och stabilitet alltid beaktas när ett sådant beslut fattas. Konsekvenserna av att återkalla ett permanent uppehållstillstånd kan vara att personen inte längre har rätt att resa in i Sverige utan visum och att personen inte längre är fRevoking a permanent residence permit is a highly intrusive decision that can affect the individual's security. For this reason, the individual's security and stability should always be taken into account when making such a deci-sion. The consequences of revoking a permanent residence permit may in-clude the person no longer having the right to enter Sweden without a visa and no longer bei

Purpose: To investigate the impact of buzzwords on consumers' perceptions of marketing messages and their impact on brand trust. Design/methodology/approach: This paper adopts a qualitative and quantitative research method. The information about buzzwords, linguistics, brand trust and brand image has been sourced through a secondary data literary review. In addition, primary data about how bu

Quantum computing has advanced rapidly throughout the past decade, both from a hardware and software point of view. A variety of algorithms have been developed that are suitable for the current generation of quantum devices, which are referred to as noisy intermediate-scale quantum devices. Amongst them is the variational quantum algorithm, a hybrid quantum-classical algorithm that optimizes the p

Bakgrund: Intellektuell funktionsnedsättning (IF) är en utvecklingsneurologisk funktionsnedsättning med brister i kognition och nedsatt adaptiv förmåga. Orsaken kan bero på ärftlighet, kromosomförändring, sjukdom eller skada i hjärnan. Patienter med IF har ofta nedsatt kommunikationsförmåga och är ofta beroende av personer runtomkring som kan tolka behoven. En del av distriktssköterskors ansvar är

This work focuses on the southern part of Sollentuna municipality and the adjacent suburbs of Kista, Husby and Akalla located in the northernmost part of Stockholm municipality, which henceforth will be referred to as “Kista”. The urban core of Sollentuna/Kista is strategically located both close to Stockholm but also along the north going road towards both Arlanda airport and Swedens fourth city

Polybromerade difenyletrar (PBDE) och hexabromcyklododekan (HBCDD) är bromerade flamskyddsmedel som har använts i stor utstäckning i olika produkter under lång tid. Dessa föreningar är svårnedbrytbara och fettlösliga vilket innebär att de kan lagras länge i fettvävnaden. Både kemin och egenskaperna hos PBDE og HBCDD liknar det kända miljögiftet PCB, vilket gör at det är intressant att se närmare pPolybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE) and hexabromocyclododecane (HBCDD) are brominated flame retardants. These compounds are lipophilic, persistent and have been shown to bioaccumulate. The Baltic grey seal (Halichoerus grypus) and the Eurasian otter (Lutra lutra) are top predators and especially exposed to high levels of lipophilic pollutant in their diet due to biomagnification. In the current

Archetypes, as universal patterns or prototypes, are deeply ingrained in the collective consciousness and shape our expectations about the appearance, function, and meaning of objects. However, as products and their contexts change, it becomes necessary to find ways to break away from existing archetypal images. This thesis explores the development of archetypes, the boundaries of object categori

Akustophores är rörelse av partiklar/celler under inverkan av ljud. Partikel- och cell separation är en applikation som kan utföras av akustophores. Detta är en viktig teknik eftersom den kan avslöja viktig information om sjukdomar och celler och därigenom förbättra valet av behandling inom sjukvården. Genom att utnyttja ljud, så kan celler och partiklar i en lösning separeras efter deras specifikAcoustophoresis is the migration of particles/cells under the influence of sound. Particle and cell separation is an application that can be performed by acoustophoresis. This is an important technique since it can reveal important information about diseases and cells and thereby possibly improve the choice of treatment in healthcare. By utilizing sound, cells and particles in a suspension can be

Women’s rights are under pressure worldwide. NGOs working in women’s rights face new and recurring challenges in light of recent abortion bans and increased domestic violence against women during COVID-19, for instance. The Convention on the Elimination of all forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW) of the United Nations, offers the promise of an ideal world free from discrimination against

Inequality has been growing in Thailand, but the consequence of inequality, intergenerational social mobility has not been studied. This research aims to provide contemporary study of intergenerational occupational mobility in Thailand during 1997-2017, and provide the first time three generations mobility by employing Townsend Thai panel data. This research employs EGP class schema for classifica
