This study describes the psychological characteristics of fear of brown bear (Ursus arctos) and wolf (Canis lupus) using the Cognitive Vulnerability Model. Data were obtained from a survey of 154 stakeholders. Subjective experience of fear was primarily linked to the perceived danger or harm that the animal represents and the perceived uncontrollability of the person's own response when encounteri
Adaptive management (AM) is widely promoted to improve management of naturalresources, yet its implementation is challenging. We show that obstacles to the implementation of AM are related not only to the AM process per se but also to external factors such as ecosystem properties and governance systems. To overcome obstacles, there is a need to build capacities within the AM process by ensuring ad
Magnesium (Mg) alloys are becoming increasingly important in the biomedical field as temporary bone implants. However, the biodegradation process of Mg alloys is highly complex and recent findings suggest that oxygen (O2) consumption is non-negligible. In this study, we give experimental proof of O2 consumption during Mg degradation under physiological conditions. Specifically, we study pure Mg, M
Previous studies have demonstrated that environmental and temporal factors may affect the incidence of acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD). Here, we aimed to investigate the hypothesis that national holidays and weekends influence the incidence of surgery for ATAAD. For the period 1st of January 2005 until 31st of December 2019, we investigated a hypothesised effect of (country-specific) nation
Autonomous driving has become an important research area for road traffic, whereas testing of autonomous driving systems to ensure a safe and reliable operation remains an open challenge. Substantial real-world testing or massive driving data collection does not scale since the potential test scenarios in real-world traffic are infinite, and covering large shares of them in the test is impractical
Inborn errors of metabolism (IEMs) are characterized by deficits in metabolic enzymes as a result of an inherited disease, leading to the accumulation or decreased excretion of proteins, carbohydrates and lipids. Although IEMs are often diagnosed during childhood, adolescent and adult onset variants may be accompanied by less somatic and more psychiatric manifestations, which often hampers recogni
Background: With advances in clinical genetic testing, associations between genetic neurodevelopmental disorders and parkinsonism are increasingly recognized. In this review, we aimed to provide a comprehensive overview of reports on parkinsonism in genetic neurodevelopmental disorders and summarize findings related to genetic diagnosis, clinical features and proposed disease mechanisms. Methods:
Our study contributes a contextual perspective on entrepreneurs’ networking, shifting focus from individual-level network structure and networking activities toward understanding networking as a multilevel process involving individual and contextual mechanisms. Through a multiple case study of entrepreneurs in Silicon Valley and Berlin, we introduce networking temperature as novel concept that cap
Understanding influence of vegetation on past temperature changes in the Arctic region would help isolate uncertainty and build understanding of its broader climate system, with implications for paleoclimate reconstructions and future climate change. Using an Earth system model EC-Earth, we conduct a series of simulations to investigate the impact of vegetation-climate feedback on the Arctic clima
Objectives: This is a protocol for a Cochrane Review (intervention). The objectives are as follows:. To assess the efficacy and safety of ibuprofen (any dose) for acute postoperative pain management in children compared with placebo or other active comparators. To compare ibuprofen administered by different doses, routes (e.g. oral, intravenous, etc.), or strategies (e.g. as needed versus as sched
Mismatch between adjacent atomic layers in low-dimensional materials, generating moiré patterns, has recently emerged as a suitable method to tune electronic properties by inducing strong electron correlations and generating novel phenomena. Beyond graphene, van der Waals structures such as three-dimensional (3D) topological insulators (TIs) appear as ideal candidates for the study of these phenom
Vad är konturerna för det sociala arbetets fält? Så lyder problemformuleringen i denna studie. Syftet med arbetet är att utarbeta en alternativ modell för förståelse av socialt arbete utifrån Bourdieus fältbegrepp. Arbetet utgår från ett antal allmänna fältaspekter. Dessa allmänna drag operationaliseras genom att översättas till ett antal teman som kan knyta an till ett empiriskt material. Intervj
The Tam Giang-Cau Hai lagoon is located outside of Hue in central Vietnam. Southeast of Thuan An inlet, one of the two inlets of the lagoon, a groin was constructed in 2008 as a measure to reduce the sediment transport to prevent the inlet from closing. This groin has caused erosion of the eastern sand spit of the inlet and accretion of sediment on the coastline south east of the groin. The object
This Master Thesis was done in collaboration with Nederman AB in Helsingborg and the aim was to analyse and develop a suggestion for a new modernized Powerbox which is one of Nedermans products in the auto workshop segment. The Powerbox is a product for sourcing of compressed air, vacuum suction and electric power. Nederman is a strong brand and considered a market leader in many of its areas. The
Stimulation of innovation is a hot topic around the world. The developed economies are nowadays significantly dependent on innovation for further growth. One central source of innovation is universities and their ability to turn new knowledge into value-adding innovations. One of these technology transfer measures is through the creation of university spinoffs (USOs). High-tech startups, however,
When treating patients suffering from renal failure with hemodialysis, an obvious point of interest is the actual blood cleaning efficiency of the dialyzer (artificial kidney). This efficiency is called clearance or dialysance. The method currently used for estimating clearance is based on doing a step-change on the process. Due to the nature of the process, this method is slow and has a relativel
I Sverige överenskommes årligen tusentals uppdrag som kan hänföras till området för entreprenader. Entreprenaduppdrag kan vara alltifrån mindre åtaganden till omfattande arbeten med höga kontraktsbelopp. Eftersom dessa arbeten faller utanför KöpL tillämpningsområde uppkommer ett behov av reglering vilket görs inom ramen för den så kallade entreprenadrätten. Entreprenadrätten har i brist på lagreglYearly, thousands of transactions in Sweden can be related to construction of some kind. These constructions can be very various in scope, everything from small undertakings, to extensive long term assignments. Since general purchasing laws of Sweden are not applicable for constructions, there is a need for regulation concerning these assignments. Consequently, a standard agreement – ‘Allmänna Bes
