Objective: To examine the workplace challenges of lupus patients. Methods: A cross sectional study surveyed lupus patients seen at the Toronto Lupus Clinic in the last 2 years. We included questions on health, work context and psychosocial perceptions. Descriptive statistics described the sociodemographic and clinical characteristics of the sample; multivariable analysis examined factors associated with workplace activity limitations, job strain, and job accommodations. Results: 362 respondents completed the questionnaire (60% response). 49.7% were currently employed. Participants who recently left work had higher disease activity and workplace activity limitations. Employed participants had low to moderate job strain. Seventy percent of employed participants used job accommodations. Health, work context, and psychological factors were significantly associated with workplace activity limitations, job strain and job accommodations. Conclusion: Persons living with lupus are faced by different challenges at the workplace. Workplace difficulties and needs of individuals with lupus should be assessed by health professionals.

This dissertation investigates the limitations on the emergence of the Angolan stock market. It also examines the strategies developed by sub-Saharan African stock exchanges when facing similar issues. It uses information obtained from participants to recommend actions to be taken by the Angolan government and institutions related to capital markets. The analysis shows that some prerequisites must be prepared to establish any equity market and enhance the continued development of capital markets. Determinants of capital markets show that macroeconomic and institutional approaches are critical tools for stock market development. Results of this study tell us that stock markets do not follow a linear path. No such formula exists to apply to have the same results as other geographies because market characteristics are different. However, some conditions must be conceived to host the stock market. Additionally, the collaboration of the government, regulators, policymakers, and other stakeholders has been crucial for developing capital markets.

Architecture is a functional art with numerous competing requirements. What are the roles for limitations in architecture? Is it enough to simply make a "good building"? Can architecture spring solely from that which is required, or is more necessary? / Master of Architecture

This thesis explores the concept that self-imposed constraints in jazz improvisation can enhance creativity and the generation of ideas. With the help of constraints, the purpose is to find new pathways in music that I wouldn't have taken otherwise. The ambition is to move beyond habitual playing and deep-seated patterns on the instrument, aiming for a more genuine creative expression. Various types of restrictions are applied within a jazz quartet, tailored and assigned to each band member. The outcomes were showcased during my graduation concert, featuring predominantly jazz compositions and standards.  The imposed limiations proved effective in fostering new and exciting musical developments. Under the right conditions, these constraints playfully accentuated and amplified our musical identities, although some proved too restrictive to inspire meaningful progress in our music. / <p><strong>Musik</strong></p><p>Eronel (Thelonius Monk)</p><p>Untitled (Eskil Larsson)</p><p>Straight No Chaser (Thelonius Monk)</p><p>You Know I Care (Duke Pearson)</p><p>Heartaches (Al Hoffman)</p><p><strong>Medverkande musiker</strong></p><p>Eskil Larsson - Tenorsaxofon</p><p>Milos Lindegren - Piano</p><p>Johannes Bäckström - Kontrabas</p><p>Felix Kling - Trummor</p>

We investigated variations in resource availability (nitrate and labile organic carbon, LOC) as determinants of denitrification in sediments of streams in the southern Appalachian Mountains, USA. Stream water and sediments were sampled seasonally in two streams of contrasting nitrate availability, Noland Creek (high NO₃-N) and Walker Branch (low NO3-N). Eight additional streams with varying nitrate levels were sampled once during summer. Stream sediments were incubated at ambient stream temperatures, and nitrous oxide accumulation was quantified following acetylene inhibition of nitrous oxide reduction. Denitrification potential was greater in Noland Creek than Walker Branch and was generally greater in sediments from the higher-nitrate streams. In autumn and spring, nitrate and LOC amendments indicated that denitrification potential in Walker Branch sediments was nitrate limited, with temperature having no effect on rates. Denitrification potential in Noland Creek sediments was not limited by nitrate, but temperature had a significant effect. When Noland Creek seasonal data were corrected to a common temperature, no seasonal differences in denitrification potential were detected. Nitrate-N in the 10 surveyed streams ranged from 10 to 549 mg/L, with the highest NO₃-N levels and denitrification rates generally occurring in the higher elevation streams in the GSMNP. We found that nitrate availability, more than LOC availability, controls potential denitrification in these streams. / Master of Science

This study explores how self-imposed limitations affect anxieties about art-making and the art-making process. As a teacher, I was interested in how limitations affected student art-making. I used arts-based research methodology to explore spiritual and personal quandaries in my own life through the process of art-making. A consistent thread throughout this investigation was using the process of making art as a way to gain understanding about my own life and teaching. I was also able to create a culture of vulnerability and honesty in my classroom and help my students embrace themselves and their physical, emotional, and situational limitations through the art-making process.

La présente recherche porte sur la relation entre les symptômes dépressifs maternels prénataux et postnataux et la détresse face aux limitations du nourrisson. L'objectif de cette étude est d'examiner comment les symptômes dépressifs pré et postnataux influencent la détresse face aux limitations du nourrisson nés de jeunes mères à risque, tout en contrôlant pour l'anxiété maternelle et le sexe de l'enfant. L'échantillon utilisé aux fins de cette recherche comporte 102 dyades mère-enfant issus d'un projet plus vaste. Une première visite a eu lieu à cinq mois de grossesse et la seconde visite a eu lieu environ huit mois après l'accouchement. En examinant simultanément les contributions de la dépression prénatale et postnatale à la détresse face aux limitations dans une analyse de régression, il est possible de voir que la dépression prénatale a un plus grand effet sur la détresse face aux limitations que la dépression postnatale.

Bakgrund: Diabetes typ 1 är en vanligt förekommande kronisk sjukdom. Att leva med diabetes typ 1 innebär att alltid behöva planera sin vardag. Sjuksköterskans roll handlar om att ge personcentrerad omvårdnad och uppmärksamma personen som lever med diabetes typ 1. Empowerment är ett centralt begrepp i diabetesvården som handlar om att personen ska uppleva egenmakt i sin livssituation. Syfte: Att beskriva personers upplevelse av att leva med diabetes typ 1 utifrån ökad egenkontroll. Metod: En litteraturöversikt med kvalitativa artiklar. Sökningarna resulterade i sju artiklar som analyserades induktivt utifrån Fribergs femstegsmodell. Resultat: Att leva med diabetes typ 1 innebar noggrann planering och rutiner i vardagen. Genom att acceptera sjukdomen och uppleva kontroll i sin situation ökade hanterbarheten. Att leva med diabetes typ 1 kunde innebära en ständig oro och rädsla för hypoglykemins följder samt långsiktiga komplikationer orsakade av hyperglykemi. Närstående hade en betydelsefull roll i att motivera och hjälpa personen med diabetes. Slutsats: Personer med diabetes typ 1 upplever sin vardag på olika sätt, det framkommer både upplevelser av hanterbarhet och upplevelser av begränsningar. Sjuksköterskan har därför en viktig roll i att identifiera och bekräfta dessa upplevelser hos personen som lever med diabetes typ 1. / Background: Diabetes type 1 is a common and chronic disease. Living with type 1 diabetes can be a big adjustment in a person's everyday life. The nurse’s responsibilty lies within a personcentred care and it is important to see the person behind the disease. The person living with diabetes need to experience empowerment in their lives and therefore empowerment is a key concept in diabetes care. Aim: To describe a person’s experience of living with diabetes type 1 by enhanced empowerment. Method: A literature review with qualitative articles. 7 articles  from the search was found, which was analyzed inductively by the five step model of Fribergs. Results: Living with type 1 diabetes meant careful planning and routines of the everyday life. By accepting the disease, it would also be manageable and it indicated the feeling of superiority in life. Living with the disease could cause a constant anxiety and fear of the complications of hypoglycaemia and the long-term complications of hyperglycaemia. Relatives had an important role and contributed with a feeling of safety in those who had diabetes type 1. Conclusion: The daily life of people with type 1 diabetes is experienced in many different ways. The nurse has an important role to identify and acknowledge the feelings that the person with diabetes type 1 is experiencing.
