This study aimed to review the mental health of adolescents, their view on their own mental health and their view on the quality of the physical and mental healthcare provided by their school. The basis of this study was a survey of pupils (n = 65) in a high school in Helsingborg. The KASAM theory by Anton Antonvsky was used to analyze the survey answers. This analysis showed that the participatin

Disperse dyes are the most common contact sensitizers among textile dyes. The main aim of this study was to investigate the outcome of patch testing with a textile dye mix 6.6%. A total of 2,049 patients from Sweden and 497 from Belgium were tested with the mix, consisting of Disperse (D) Blue 35, D Yellow 3, D Orange 1 and 3, D Red 1 and 17, 1.0% each, and D Blue 106 and D Blue 124, 0.3% each.

Popular Abstract in Swedish Förekomsten av hudcancer ökar i ljushyade befolkningsgrupper och hudcancer tillhör de cancergrupper som ökar mest i Sverige. De tre vanligaste formerna av hudcancer är basalcellscancer, skivepitelcancer och malignt melanom. Under 2013 utgjorde skivepitelcancer och malignt melanom ca 16 % av alla cancerfall som rapporterades in till Svenska Cancerregistret; över 6 000 faSkin cancer incidence is increasing in fair-skinned populations. The three most common skin cancers are basal cell carcinoma (BCC), squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and malignant melanoma (MM). A correct diagnosis is crucial for an efficient and tailored treatment for the skin cancer patient. The purpose of this thesis was to evaluate different aspects of the preoperative diagnosis of skin cancer. Th

We show that the asymptotic behavior of the partial sums of a sequence of positive numbers determine the local behavior of the Hilbert space of Dirichlet series defined using these as weights. This extends results recently obtained describing the local behavior of Dirichlet series with square summable coefficients in terms of local integrability, boundary behavior, Carleson measures and interpolat

A model for the contact between a rubber covered roller and a rigid roller was developed using analytical functions. The model, being two-dimensional, connects the line load, geometric properties (roller radii, rubber thickness) and the shear modulus of the rubber to nip properties in the roller contact. The output from the model is the indentation of the rigid roller into the rubber, the nip maxi

Bog sites and wetland settlement during the Mesolithic: research from a bog in central Scania, southern Sweden The bogs Agerods Mosse and Ronneholms Mosse with their total area of 12 km(2), form a north-westerly arm of the Ringsjon Basin of central Scania, in the southernmost part of Sweden. In the 1940s and 1970s excavations of Early Mesolithic sites around and within the bog Agerods Mosse were c

Circumcision has been reported to protect against infection with human papillomavirus (HPV) in men, but results have been inconsistent. We followed males in a birth cohort born in Dunedin, New Zealand, in 1972 and 1973 from age 3 to 32 years. Seropositivity at age 32 years for the oncogenic types HPV-16 and 18, and the nononcogenic types 6 and 11, was studied in relation to maternal reports of cir

In North Sámi, certain verbal derivations can be expressed as a change of theme vowel. An investigation of these derivations leads to the conclusion that spanning, i.e. one vocabulary item spelling out two or more terminal nodes, should be included in the toolbox of Distributed Morphology. It follows that com¬petition between vocabulary items is resolved according to the Principle of Maximal Expre

Abstract in UndeterminedWe consider the problem of determining the order of a parametric model from a noisy signal based on the geometry of the space. More specifically, we do this using the nontrivial angles between the candidate signal subspace model and the noise subspace. The proposed principle is closely related to the subspace orthogonality property known from the MUSIC algorithm, and we stu

An improved synthetic route to the bicyclo[2.2.2]octane-2,6-diol ligands (2,6-BODOLS) allowed an increased structural variation of the ligand side-arm. The addition of aromatic or vinylic Grignard reagents to hydroxyketone 1 was highly selective and ligands 3f-3I were isolated in 84-97% yield. The addition of alkyl Grignard reagents containing beta-hydrogens resulted in lower yields (13-71%) due t

Studies have shown that people with mental illness are at risk of developing metabolic syndrome. Contributing causes may be lifestyle and atypical antipsychotic drugs that this patient group normally takes. At this point psychiatry have focused on treating the patient’s psychiatric symptoms and not physical health problems such as high BMI, abnormal waist/hip ratio, elevated blood pressure, and di
