  2. 21. Modelling and measuring resource assessments

    Author : Gró Einarsdóttir; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Subjective resources; resource assessments; reference points; well-being; optimism; worry; satisfaction with life; consideration of future consequences; ;

    Abstract : Do you have enough resources? We argue that in order to answer this question it is necessary to consider the type of resource assessed, how a particular resource relates to other resources, and which reference points are used in the assessment. Building on this view, this thesis explores how resource assessments can be conceptualized and measured within an integrative resource framework that takes into account the process of resource evaluation.

  4. 22. Long term health-related quality of life among women with high-risk breast cancer receiving adjuvant high-dose chemotherapy : a comparison with the normal population

    Author : Helena Michelson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Adjuvant high-dose chemotherapy; health related quality of life; EORTC QLQC30; reference values; chronic health problems.;

    Abstract : The aims of the thesis were 1) to provide reference values for the EORTC QLQ-C30 in the general Swedish population, 2) to investigate effects of adjuvant high-dose treatment on health-related quality of life (HRQoL) among high-risk breast cancer patients during and after treatment and 3) to investigate differences in HRQoL between the patients and women of corresponding age in the general population. The EORTC QLQ-C30 questionnaire was mailed to a sample of 4008 randomly selected individuals in the Swedish population. READ MORE

    Abstract : With the Internet of Things paradigm, the data generated by the rapidly increasing number of connected devices lead to new possibilities, such as using machine learning for activity recognition in smart environments. However, it also introduces several challenges. The sensors of different devices might be mobile and of different types, i.e. READ MORE

  7. 25. Statistical properties of the atmosphere influencing long-range transport of air pollutants

    Author : Mats Hamrud; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : This thesis deals with some statistical properties of the atmosphere of importance for the transport and removal of air pollutants. Clouds and precipitation can strongly influence the behaviour of atmospheric pollutants. Thus, we need to know the frequency of occurrence of cloud and rain events in order to estimate e.g. READ MORE
