Polarization of "water-skies" above arctic open waters: how polynyas in the ice-cover can be visually detected from a distance
The foggy sky above a white ice-cover and a dark water surface (permanent polynya or temporary lead) is white and dark gray, phenomena called the "ice-sky" and the "water-sky," respectively. Captains of icebreaker ships used to search for not-directly-visible open waters remotely on the basis of the water sky. Animals depending on open waters in the Arctic region may also detect not-directly-visib

Variationen av kväve- och fosforhalten i olika biflöden till Hagaån
Höga näringshalter har uppmätts i Hagaån på Orust, Västra Götaland och kan i framtiden leda till övergödning och därmed ge förödande effekter på ekosystemet. Fisk har redan börjat minska på västkusten och en anledning kan vara näringsläckage från jordbruksmark. Det är allmänt känt, att övergödning är ett stort miljöproblem i våra sjöar och hav. Mänskliga aktiviteter som exempelvis jordbruk och avEutrophication of aquatic environments is a worldwide problem which is usually caused by leakage of nutrients from human activities on land. The primary production rises greatly when concentrations of phosphor and nitrogen increases, which can result in disturbances in the ecosystems. The aim of this project was to analyse the content of total-phosphor and total-nitrogen in different flow rates in
Att använda marxism? Marx i den introducerande sociologilitteraturen
Studien granskar de kontrasterande bilder av Karl Marx teorier och marxismen som ges av sociologiutbildningar på svenska universitet. Genom intervjuer med undervisande sociologer och en litteraturstudie över den vanligaste introduktionslitteraturen visar jag några centrala skiljelinjer inom sociologin. En riktning främst representerad av Anthony Giddens & Philip W. Suttons bok Sociologi (2014)
Leading by being led - A qualitative study of the relationship between authority and servant leadership
This thesis aims to contribute to the discussion on the role of authority in servant leadership, by answering the following research question: How do pastors perceive their servant leadership and how does this relate to authority? The methodology of this study is based on a qualitative study, following an interpretive approach. The empirical material of this study consists of 10 interviews. All in
Stadsmiljöavtalens potentiella effekter
Kommuner och regioner kan ansöka om stadsmiljöavtal för att få ekonomiskt stöd för projekt som förbättrar framkomligheten för kollektivtrafik, cykel och gång. Projekten strävar efter mer hållbara stadsmiljöer med hänsyn till persontransporter och markanvändning. De första stadsmiljöavtalen beviljades 2015. Vid slutet av 2018 skulle projekten för de fyra första omgångarna vara avslutade. Det har ti
Kartläggning av interventioner med inriktning återgång i arbete för personer med depression samt ångest
Bakgrund: Depression samt ångest tillhör de stora folksjukdomarna som drabbar många i arbetsför ålder. Diagnoserna står för cirka 90 % av sjukskrivningar i Sverige som är orsakade av psykisk ohälsa. Det finns dock kunskapsluckor gällande effektiva interventioner som syftar till arbetsåtergång för individer med psykisk ohälsa. Syfte: Syftet var att ur ett arbetsterapeutiskt perspektiv kartlägga in
Methods and Models for Metabolic Assessment in Mice
The development of new therapies for the treatment of type 2 diabetes requires robust, reproducible and well validated in vivo experimental systems. Mice provide the most ideal animal model for studies of potential therapies. Unlike larger animals, mice have a short gestational period, are genetically similar, often give birth to many offspring at once and can be housed as multiple groups in a sin
Calcium Modulation of Exocytosis-Linked Plasma Membrane Potential Oscillations in INS-1 832/13 Cells.
In the presence of high glucose or pyruvate, INS-1 832/13 insulinoma cells undergo stochastic oscillations in plasma membrane potential (Δψp) leading to associated fluctuations in cytosolic free Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)]c). Oscillations are not driven by upstream metabolic fluctuations, but rather by autonomous ionic mechanisms, the details of which are unclear. We have investigated the natur
Assessment of learning powered mobility use-Applying grounded theory to occupational performance.
Collaboration by two grounded theory researchers, who each had developed a learning continuum instrument, led to the emergence of a new tool for assessment of learning powered mobility use. We undertook a rigorous process of comparative reanalysis that included merging, modifying, and expanding our previous research findings. A new instrument together with its facilitating strategies emerged in th

Health Literacy among patients with end-stage kidney disease and kidney transplant recipients
Main problem: Self-management is essential for patients both before and after kidney transplantation and requires an adequate level of health literacy (HL), that is the ability to comprehend and process health information. Low HL is associated with poor clinical outcome and an increased risk of death. In Europe, HL has been scarcely studied. The aim of this study was to investigate the levels of H
Consequences on islet and incretin hormone responses to dinner by omission of lunch in healthy men
Background: Omission of breakfast results in higher glucose and lower insulin and incretin hormone levels after both lunch and dinner. Whether omission of lunch has a similar impact on the following meal is not known. Aim: This study therefore explored whether omission of lunch ingestion affects glucose, islet and incretin hormones after dinner ingestion in healthy subjects. Materials & Method

Retailing Retold: Unfolding the Process of Image Construction in Everyday Practice
Retailing Retold offers an alternative approach to the analysis of how international retail images are translated across national boundaries. The approach extends the view on image in previous research as an instrument for monitoring the effects of marketing strategies on consumers’ perceptions of the retailer. Instead, it suggests that the usefulness of image resides in its ability to capture the

Packaging handling evaluation methods in the grocery retail industry
The grocery retail industry, with its large product volumes, low margins and fierce competition, is constantly seeking efficiency improvements in its supply chain. The grocery retail industry uses an immense amount of packaging and is directly affected by packaging logistics activities. There is, therefore, a potential for efficiency improvements in the grocery retail supply chain through the inte
