INTRODUCTION: Current pharmacological treatments of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) have limited efficacy. Although the diagnosis is based on psychopathological criteria, it is frequently accompanied by somatic comorbidities and perhaps "accelerated biological aging," suggesting widespread physical concomitants. Such physiological comorbidities may affect core PTSD symptoms but are rarely th
We present the early results from a novel experiment to study a particle-laden flow, under a parameter regime relevant to the conditions in planet-forming systems. We investigate the gas-particle interactions to identify the presence of and details regarding the streaming instability, which is theoretically predicted to aid the coalescence of small dust grains to form planetesimals - the macroscop
Modifiable risk factors for cardiovascular disease include overweight, which is prevented by healthy diet and physical activity. Recently settled migrants may have varying levels of exposure to health information. Therefore, the objectives of this study were to explore the associations between self-reported information on healthy diet and on physical activity and overweight and the possible modifi
Abstract Objective. To increase the accuracy of estimated GFR (eGFR) from creatinine overall and at measured GFR ≥90 mL/min per 1.73 m(2) by revising the Lund-Malmö (LM) equations, to elaborate on more complex forms to improve the LM and CKD-EPI equations further, and to assess benefits of adding lean body mass (LBM). Material and methods. Swedish Caucasians (n = 850, 376 women; median 60, range 1
Endotracheal suctioning consists of the mechanical aspiration of pulmonary secretions from the endotracheal tube (ETT) to prevent obstruction. The optimal frequency of ETT suctioning has not been defined.
This paper is a discussion on the relevance of compassion regarding human rights in liberal states. The study focuses a great deal on detangling and distinguishing compassion from other related terms and meanings that are commonly used as equivalent, somewhat differing and sometimes separate from each other. For this, Martha Nussbaum's account on compassion is used as a starting-point. Compass
Titel- Sex and the city för män? ?En kvalitativ studie om manligheter i förändring Författare- Malvina Britts Avdelning- Avdelningen för Medie- och kommunikationsvetenskap Problem: Området som min studie rör sig inom är representationen av maskulinitet. Förändringar i representationen av maskulinitet diskuteras i olika sammanhang och en specifik drama/komediserie, Entourage, har på sistone utmä
Abstract This thesis examines whether it is possible to ascertain a measurable difference between granted and refused grant applications with automatic methods. A corpus of project descriptions from the Swedish Science Council was examined with different classification techniques and using different linguistic features. A Naive Bayes classifier is shown to be a good predictor for this type of pro
The aim of this thesis is to investigate why the municipality of Lund has not done more, in relation to LundaMaTs, to inform and promote the purchasing of organic provisions to the public. This is of interest since it is determined in the Rio Declaration and Agenda 21 that the current unsustainable production and consumption patterns need to change. The local authorities play an important role
The frequent replacement of office furniture contributes to the increasing production of solid waste that leads to the use of more landfill space. Germany only produces approximately 700000 t of office furniture waste per year whereas most of this waste goes to landfill or incin-eration (Nolte, 2001). In addition, there are concerns about the use of hazardous chemicals in office furniture producti
Presentation of problem: The movement of sediment parallel to the coast by waves and currents is known as longshore sediment transport or littoral transport. Throughout the years, researchers have found that knowledge of longshore sediment transport is important in connection with coastal engineering design, such as construction of breakwaters at harbour entrances, dredging of navigation channels,
The present study investigated the effects of three factors on the level of realism in frequency judgements. These factors were: Instruction (No correction for guessing/Correction for guessing), Format (whether the frequency judgements were made in terms of absolute numbers or in percent) and Difficulty level (easy/hard set of questions). All three factors were found to have a significant effect o
We use density-matrix simulations to study the performance of three distance three quantum error correction (QEC) codes in the context of the rare-earth (RE) ion-doped crystal platform for quantum computing. We analyze pseudothresholds for these codes when parallel operations are not available, and examine the behavior both with and without resting errors. In RE systems, resting errors can be miti
This article explores the burgeoning Nepalese hip-hop scene – commonly known as nep-hop – as a discursive intervention in the post-war politics of Nepal. Its core argument is that nep-hop oftentimes demonstrates an ethos of peacebuilding through popular culture. Indeed, many songs explicitly criticize violence, war, and the political leaders who recently brought the nation to a civil war. Yet, thi
Background: Cognitive reserve and resilience are terms used to explain interindividual variability in maintenance of cognitive health in response to adverse factors, such as brain pathology in the context of aging or neurodegenerative disorders. There is substantial interest in identifying tractable substrates of resilience to potentially leverage this phenomenon into intervention strategies. One
