Genomgående i det empiriska materialet var att alla chefer ville se sig som en ledare, en förebild som föregick med gott exempel för sina medarbetare. Ingen ville direkt förlika sig med titeln chef. Uppfattningen fanns att en bra ledare finns där för sina medarbetare och sätter deras behov framför sina egna. Självledarskap är något som i princip alla utförde i olika grad och vissa gjorde det mer m

Negativa servicemöten har visat sig påverka anställda till att känna mindre motivation, inte minst negativa servicemöten som inbegriper könsstereotypa antaganden gentemot kvinnor. Ett verktyg för att prestera utefter förmåga är självledarskap. Vi vill undersöka om unga kvinnor självleder sig själva i negativa servicemöten där könsstereotyper förekommer. Syftet ska besvaras med hjälp av följande fr

AbstractIntroductionSelenium deficiency has been associated with mortality, cardiovascular disease and worsened prognosis in heart failure (HF). In a recent population-based study, high selenium levels were shown to be associated with reduced mortality and reduced incidence of HF, but only in non-smokers. Here, we aimed to examine if selenoprotein P (SELENOP), a main selenium carrier protein, is a

Monoclonal antibody solutions are set to become a major therapeutic tool in the years to come, capable of targeting various diseases by clever design of their antigen binding site. However, the formulation of stable solutions suitable for patient self-administration typically presents challenges, as a result of the increase in viscosity that often occurs at high concentrations. Here, we establish

The metastability of supported metal nanoparticles limits their application in heterogeneous catalysis at elevated temperatures due to their tendency to sinter. One strategy to overcome these thermodynamic limits on reducible oxide supports is encapsulation via strong metal-support interaction (SMSI). While annealing-induced encapsulation is a well-explored phenomenon for extended nanoparticles, i

Background: 2D digital subtraction angiography (DSA) images are the gold standard for neuroradiological vascular assessment and the basis of interventional procedures such as mechanical thrombectomy and cerebral aneurysm coiling. However, length measurements in projected DSA images are affected by the distance between the x-ray source, the object, and the detector. Precise coordination between all

The large variations of polyp sizes and shapes and the close resemblances of polyps to their surroundings call for features with long-range information in rich scales and strong discrimination. This article proposes two parallel structured modules for building those features. One is the Transformer Inception module (TI) which applies Transformers with different reception fields in parallel to inpu

Literature has long been an effective vehicle for conveying women’s morals and opinions when they have otherwise been ignored and supressed. Fifty years apart, Anne Brontë and Olive Schreiner wrote fiction critical of different aspects of marriage with noticeably different results and conclusions. This project aims to investigate the basis for these differences by using Elaine Showalter’s idea of

The present exploratory study is aimed at the modelling of the chemiluminescence signature of premixed laminar NH3+H2+air flames. The detailed kinetic mechanism of the author was extended by reactions describing the formation and consumption of excited NO2*, NO(A), NH*, and NH2* mostly relying on previous analyses of chemiluminescence processes from the literature. The lowest-lying excited state o

Selection leading to adaptation to interactions may generate rapid evolutionary feedbacks and drive diversification of species interactions. The challenge is to understand how the many traits of interacting species combine to shape local adaptation in ways directly or indirectly resulting in diversification. We used the well-studied interactions between Lithophragma plants (Saxifragaceae) and Grey

Purpose: This article explores how public librarians understand and perform the democratic mission of public libraries in times of political and social turbulence, and critically discusses the idea of public libraries as meeting places.Methodology: Five group interviews conducted with public librarians in southern Sweden are analyzed using a typology of four perspectives on democracy.Findings: TwoPurposeThis article explores how public librarians understand and perform the democratic mission of public libraries in times of political and social turbulence and critically discusses the idea of public libraries as meeting places.Design/methodology/approachFive group interviews conducted with public librarians in southern Sweden are analyzed using a typology of four perspectives on democracy.Fi

A novel macro intermediate based on poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyhexanoate) (PHBHHx) was synthesized for use in the copolymerization with dimethyl amino ethyl methacrylate (DMAEMA). Methyl amino ethanol was reacted with PHBHHx to prepare a dihydroxy terminated polyester. The hydroxyl ends of the obtained PHBHHx derivatives were capped with 4,4’-azobis cyanopentanoic acid to obtain the PHBHHx

Background: Patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) constitute a heterogenous group in terms of patient and tumour characteristics (‘case-mix’) and prognosis. The aim of the current study was to investigate whether differences in survival could be used to separate MIBC patients into separate classes using a recently developed latent class regression method for survival analysis with co
