Tidigare forskning visar att lärare löper 50% högre risk att drabbas av stressrelaterad utmattning jämfört med andra yrkesgrupper och ett skäl till detta är bristande balans mellan arbete och privatliv. Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka hur gymnasielärare själva uppleverIn Sweden, thousands of people work as high school teachers and of these, 7% left the profession in 2019. One reason is stress. Previous research shows that teachers are 50% more likely to suffer from stress-related fatigue compared to other occupational groups and one reason for this is a lack of balance between work and private life.

A fundamental part of modern medicine is the ability to study and analyze images, especially for diagnostic purposes. A relatively new imaging system is photoacoustics, where laser- and ultrasound technology are combined to create images in a non-invasive way. It is absorption of the laser that is responsible for the creation of the ultrasound signal. Thus, it is the optic properties of tissue tha
