This thesis investigates the evolving role of safety professionals in the context of Industry 4.0, aiming to delineate the requisite skills and knowledge for effective practice in the year 2036. Through a comprehensive literature review and two rounds of Delphi method analysis, the study explores the transformative impact of technological advancements on the safety profession and the broader impli

Bergweiler and Kotus gave sharp upper bounds for the Hausdorff dimension of the escaping set of a meromorphic function in the Eremenko–Lyubich class, in terms of the order of the function and the maximal multiplicity of the poles. We show that these bounds are also sharp in the Speiser class. We apply this method also to construct meromorphic functions in the Speiser class with preassigned dimensi

Dialogue and engaging with the religious Other are essential questions that warrant even greater attention in the Christian communities at large. In 2020, the World Council of Churches and the Pontifical Council for Interreligious Dialogue jointly published a document on interreligious solidarity titled Serving a Wounded World in Interreligious Solidarity: A Christian Call to Reflection and Action

Amyloid fibrils have been implicated in the pathogenesis of several neurodegenerative diseases, the most prevalent example being Alzheimer's disease (AD). Despite the prevalence of AD, relatively little is known about the structure of the associated amyloid fibrils. This has motivated our studies of fibril structures, extended here to the familial Arctic mutant of Aβ1-42, E22G-Aβ1-42. We found E22

Diffusion MRI with free gradient waveforms, combined with simultaneous relaxation encoding, referred to as multidimensional MRI (MD-MRI), offers microstructural specificity in complex biological tissue. This approach delivers intravoxel information about the microstructure, local chemical composition, and importantly, how these properties are coupled within heterogeneous tissue containing multiple

The increasing need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and shift away from fossil fuels has raised an interest for methanol. Methanol can be produced from renewable sources and can drastically lower soot emissions from compression ignition engines (CI). As a result, research and development efforts have intensified focusing on the use of methanol as a replacement for diesel in CI engines. The issu

Migration is critical for life-cycle completion in diadromous fish species. River connectivity is vital in facilitating these large-scale movement events, but the extent of present-day river fragmentation can interfere with these migrations. Fish passage solutions (FPSs) are commonly implemented with the aim of improving river connectivity. In our study, we investigated the performance of two type

Political interest in the circular economy (CE) concept is increasing globally, creating the conditions for a transformation towards a more circular society. Meanwhile, the security implications of specific circular solutions and their impact on prioritisation between CE policies remain unclear. This paper applied an abductive approach to systematic and critical review methods to explore the conne

Background: A diagnosis of prostate cancer (PC) may cause psychosocial distress not only in a man but also in his intimate partner. However, long-term risks of depression, anxiety, or suicide in partners of men with PC are largely unknown. Methods: A national cohort study was conducted of 121 530 partners of men diagnosed with PC during 1998-2017 and 1 093 304 population-based controls in Sweden.

AIMS: To review the literature on detection of risky drinking to compare early identification based on everyday clinical encounters with systematic screening. We also reviewed specific clinical signs that have been suggested to be used as indicators of risky drinking.METHODS: A literature review was performed in PubMed and CINAHL of articles up to November 2010.RESULTS: Systematic screening and se

To escape competition for food, South African dung beetles roll balls away from the dung pile of origin along straight-line paths. To keep their desired courses, the beetles rely on flexible integration of external orientation cues. This supports robust orientation even under challenging daytime conditions. Here, I studied the orientation precision driven by this flexible cue integration in the du

I dagens digitaliserade samhälle där organisationer i högre grad förlitar sig på digitala tester för att identifiera rätt kandidat för tjänsten, erbjuder rollspecifika tester ett mer specialiserat alternativ i rekryteringsprocessen. När arbetsgivare dessutom behöver hantera fler ansökningar blir relevansen hos den data de behandlar allt viktigare. Denna studie ämnar därmed att undersöka vad arbets

Objective: This study aimed to report the initial experience with a novel bidirectional double cuff inner branch design for incorporation of renal and mesenteric arteries in patients undergoing fenestrated and branched endovascular aortic repair (F/BEVAR). Methods: A retrospective review was undertaken of the experience of F/BEVAR with grafts integrating at least one bidirectional double cuffed in

In this article, we explore whether cross-linguistic differences in grammatical aspect encoding may give rise to differences in memory and cognition. We compared native speakers of two languages that encode aspect differently (English and Swedish) in four tasks that examined verbal descriptions of stimuli, online triads matching, and memory-based triads matching with and without verbal interferenc

How do I memorise the seen, what I am missing while I am looking at something?Although I am seeing, I miss what I am looking at. So every time I try to look at something again, it disappears every time my eye blinks. I only collected fragments during a day while walking around the whole city. The shops, parks, people and cars, so many of these I passed and nothing was left from my sight. I only re

Objective: To examine health-related quality of life (HRQL) and satisfaction with appearance in patients who have undergone bariatric surgery (BS) with or without subsequent body contouring surgery (BCS) in relation to the general population normative for the BODY-Q. Background: The long-term impact of BS with or without BCS has not been established using rigorously developed and validated patient

Counterintelligence is the activities and efforts aimed at protecting the intelligence agency from the adversary. This study examines CIA counterintelligence during the Cold War with a focus on defensive counterintelligence. Using a case study of convicted spy Aldrich Ames, the study sets out to answer whether there were differences in status and resources between defensive and offensive counterin

In 2012 a decision was made that half of the defence logistic organisation and personel in the Swedisch Armed Forces (SAF) should move to the Swedish Defence Materiel Administration (FMV). This decision was made after a period of downsizing the SAF and the purpose was shifted from national defence to international EU, UN and NATO commitments. Approximately 1 500 individuals working in logistics we
