To validate diagnostic codes for psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis (PsA) and estimate physician-diagnosed prevalence of psoriasis and PsA in the Skåne region, Sweden.

Denna uppsats syftar till att fastställa hur införandet av Enhetliga Patent och den Europeiska- och EU-patentdomstolen kommer att påverka läkemedelsindustrins val av patentansökningsförfarande när de ansöker om patent i Europa i framtiden. För att fastställa de förväntade effekterna av Enhetliga Patent på branschen har intervjuer med ett urval personer inom forskning- och utvecklingsföretag och enThis thesis aims to establish how the introduction of the Unitary Patent and the European and European Union Patent Court will affect the pharmaceutical industry’s choice of patent application route when applying for patents in Europe in the future. To establish the expected effect of the Unitary Patent on the industry interviews with a selection of professionals in the research and development in

The purpose of this study was to examine experiences of the development of digitalization from a user perspective where the users are sober addicts. Six different interviews with members from a non profit organization (NPO) in Malmö, who also are or have been social service clients, have been conducted. The empirical data from the interviews have been analyzed from the theoretical perspectives of

The aim of this thesis is to examine the professionals’ views on young offenders and responsibility for the target group. We have chosen to interview social workers who work within the public sector and have direct contact with young offenders. Discursive psychology was used to analyse our empirical material in order to highlight the interpretative repertoires permeating through the professionals’

The following paper illuminates the difficulties that people with criminal background may experience in the process of labour market (re)integration. While employment for offenders released from prison is important to avoid former criminal lifestyle, previous literature shows that offenders released from prison face various difficulties to secure a job. Drawing on theories on stigmatization, l

In this study, the quantitative relationship between the three dimensions of transformative capacity – cognitive, structural and agency – and the climate change performance of countries is examined. To do this, indexes are created and panel data regressions conducted. The result indicates a significant negative relationship between the cognitive and diversity dimension index and climate change per

This thesis seeks to examine the human rights due diligence (HRDD) requirements outlined in the EU proposal for the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDD proposal) for large EU limited liability companies (LLC), offering a comprehensive overview of these requirements. To further clarify and substantiate the HRDD provisions stated in the CSDD proposal, the thesis also includes a ca

Summary: The aim of this study was to analyse how the composition and in particular the openess of the present-day landscape is reflected in pollen assemblages from surface sediment in lakes. The study is a continuation of an earlier pilot study including thirteen sites and a first step in an attempt to find a method of quantifying ancient cultural landscape in terms of surface areas from fossil p

The purpose of the thesis is threefold: first, through experiences of bi- and pansexuality among women and non-binary persons, the aim is to deconstruct the mononormative opposition of hetero/homo. Second, the thesis aims to seek deeper understanding about how the sexualities among the participants in different ways affect their views on and experiences of relationships and their dating life, wher

Boendet har en stark koppling till äldres livskvalitet. Utformningen av äldres boendemiljö är viktig då de spenderar mycket tid i och i nära anslutning till boendet. Boendemiljön påverkar hur trygg den boende känner sig där exempelvis hala golv eller dålig belysning kan skapa en känsla av otrygghet. Sveriges befolkning ökar och antalet invånare över 65 väntas öka från 1,9 miljoner 2014 till 3 milThe living environment has a strong connection with elderly's quality of life. The design of the elderly housing environment is important as they spend a lot of time in and near their home. The housing environment affects how safe the residents feel, for example slippery floors or poor lighting can create an insecurity. Sweden's population is increasing and the population of those over 65

The aim of this thesis is to investigate how journalists at Lilla Aktuellt and Juniornyheterna are influenced by their news audience, primarily children and youths, on Tiktok. Both editorials work on behalf of Swedish public service, which means they have to report objectively and impartially. Previous research has shown that public service organizations must reassess what it means to be of public

Miniature, self-contained biodevices powered by biofuel cells may enable a new generation of implantable, wireless, minimally invasive neural interfaces for neurophysiological in vivo studies and for clinical applications. Here we report on the fabrication of a direct electron transfer based glucose/oxygen enzymatic fuel cell (EFC) from genuinely three-dimensional (3D) nanostructured microscale go

Early reperfusion in the setting of an ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is of utmost importance. However, the effects of early versus late reperfusion in this patient group undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) have so far been inconsistent in previous studies. The purpose of this study was to evaluate in a nationwide cohort the effects of delay from first medical c

Surface electron dynamics unfold at time and length scales down to attoseconds and nanometres, making direct imaging with extreme spatiotemporal resolution highly desirable. However, this has turned out to be a major challenge even with the advent of reliable attosecond light sources. In this paper, photoelectrons from Ag nanowires and nanoparticles excited by extreme ultraviolet (XUV) attosecond

Metal nanostructures can transfer electromagnetic energy from femtosecond laser pulses to the near-field down to spatial scales well below the optical diffraction limit. By combining few-femtosecond laser pulses with photoemission electron microscopy, we study the dynamics of the induced few-cycle near-field in individual bowtie nanoantennas. We investigate how the dynamics depend on antenna size

Despite prostate cancer being the most frequent cancer in men in the Western world, tissue biomarkers for predicting disease recurrence after surgery have not been incorporated into clinical practice. Our group has previously identified β-microseminoprotein (MSMB) and cysteine-rich secretory protein-3 (CRISP3) as independent predictors of biochemical recurrence after radical prostatectomy. The pur

Photoexcited states of a pyrazolate bridged PtPt dimer and a supramolecular RuCo complex with bipyridine-type ligands were studied using the pump-and-probe X-ray absorption spectroscopy method. The local structure refinement based on the fitting of XANES difference spectra has been performed. The theoretical analysis included the full multiple scattering calculations and the multidimensional inter

Transcriptional profiling of epithelial ovarian cancer has revealed molecular subtypes correlating to biological and clinical features. We aimed to determine gene expression differences between malignant, benign and borderline serous ovarian tumors, and investigate similarities with the well-established intrinsic molecular subtypes of breast cancer.
