   Abstract : Flow is a complex construct and has developed differently in different research fields. Some of the interpretations are included within this thesis and  categorized  in  two  main  perspectives:  (1)  the  individual  flow  perspective as defined in positive psychology and (2) the system flow perspective  based  on  notations  from  supply  chain  management,  lean  production,  construction  management,  and  operations  management.

4. 2. Mind your Language, All Right? Performance-dependent neural patterns of language

   Author : Helene van Ettinger-Veenstra; Maria Engström; Peter Lundberg; Thomas Karlsson; Anita McAllister; Karsten Specht; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Language ability; performance; fMRI; functional magnetic resonance imaging; Broca; Wernicke; temporal lobe; inferior frontal gyrus; reading; fluency; lateralization; lateralisation; right hemisphere; performance-dependent; neural activation;

   Abstract : The main aim of this dissertation was to investigate the difference in neural language patternsrelated to language ability in healthy adults. The focus lies on unraveling the contributions of theright‐hemispheric homologues to Broca’s area in the inferior frontal gyrus (IFG) and Wernicke’s areain the posterior temporal and inferior parietal lobes.

5. 3. Melatonin secretion and excretion : a clinical study focusing on factors and disease states which might influence melatonin

   Author : Johan Wikner; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : Melatonin; ethanol; Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome; calcium; calcium channel blocker; verapamil; 6-sulphatoxy-melatonin; Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome; Continuos Positive Airway Pressure; Fibromyalgic syndrome; TSH; somatostatin; octreotide; GH; Hypothyroidism;

   Abstract : The overall aim of this thesis was to find out whether other factors than the the light-dark changes influence the function of the pineal gland. Since melatonin (MT) itself, or its precursor serotonin, are of importance for sleep, mood, and pain perception, disease states - or situations in which these functions are disturbed - should be of interest to investigate in this context.
