Popular Abstract in Swedish Livstidsprevalensen för läkemedelsberoende hos alkoholberoende patienter varierar mellan 20% och 45%. I normalbefolkningen är livstidsprevalensen av läkemedelsberoende cirka 2%; livstidsprevalensen för beroende av bensodiazepiner (BZD) respektive legala opioider (metadon exkluderat) är 0.3-0.9% respektive 0.8%. Förskrivningen av BZD har de senaste åren legat konstant elThe thesis contains 4 papers, two clinical studies and two meta-analyses. In the BZD taper study (Paper I) 21 BZD dependent (DSM-IV) patients were included for a 10-day inpatient detoxification. The average defined daily dose (DDD) was 4.7 doses. Withdrawal symptoms were not more pronounced compared to more extended detoxification procedures reported in literature. Five patients, all with concomi

Haemophilia is a rare and potentially life-threatening disease. In Sweden, with a population of approximately 8.5 million, about 350 people suffer from the more severe forms of haemophilia or von Willebrand disease. Meticulous management is important if the patients are to be spared chronic disability and serious treatment complications. The disease is lifelong and affects psychosocial aspects of

A very large majority of the current product development process models put forward in textbooks present a homogenous structure, what Ulrich & Eppinger [1] call the market-pull model, presented as a generic one, while other possible product development process models are merely seen as variants. This paper focuses on the task clarification and derived activities (mainly the systematic search f

The ongoing Coronavirus 2019 crisis demonstrates how rapidly disasters and risks can cascade and escalate across countries to become a shared problem globally. Climate change impacts are increasingly being recognised not only as a nati

The field of mass evacuation has existed for a long time. Already during the Roman Empire era evacuation problematic was considered. In modern times the field has gained more attention during the last couple of decades, especially for sports grounds and stadiums. Through analysis of some well-known historical crowd disasters and through a literature survey the aim has been to compile the most impo

Syftet med den här studien var att undersöka potentialen hos geografisk objektbaserad bildanalys (GEOBIA) för att identifiera och övervaka alléer med hjälp av fjärranalysbilder och lidardata. För detta genomfördes en trefaldig litteraturstudie: först användes artiklar, böcker och rapporter för att skapa en bild av de viktigaste funktionerna inom GEOBIA. Sedan introducerades eCognition, ett välkäntThe aim of this study was to investigate the potential of geographic object-based image analysis (GEOBIA) for the identification and monitoring of tree avenues with the help of aerial imagery and lidar data. For this, a literature review into three topics was conducted: First, scientific literature in form of journal articles, text books, and reports were used to highlight key features of GEOBIA.

The Sweden democrats are a political party that has had a time of success during the last year. However many people believe them to be a racist party, in contrast to how they view themselves and their political message. How is it possible that the views of the same party differ to this extent, it seems to be a large ambiguity in their message. Rhetoric is a tool that everybody uses in some way

The aim of this study was to describe children’s and parents’ perceptions after a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examination. Semistructured interviews with eight children and eight parents were conducted. The interviews were analyzed using a phenomenographical approach. Both children and parents perceived a sense of security when they received preparation/information. The children perceived tha

Teachers have the potential to be active agents in language policy and planning (LPP) processes when designing lessons or managing linguistic resources in their classrooms. A key consideration, then, is to guide pre-service educators towards an understanding of LPP principles and how they can be applied in practice. The present study documents an interactive LPP roleplay project that was designed

Telomeres, the guardians of the chromosomes Telomeres are structures found at the end of eukaryotic chromosomes. They are composed of a repetitive DNA sequence and proteins, and their main function is to protect the chromosome ends. In human somatic cells telomeres shorten with each cell division, acting as a biological clock of cell aging. However, cancer cells are able to divide infinitely by r

Tidigt under åren i arkitektskolan lär vi oss att forma och utforska våra egna kreativa processer. Dessa blir djupt personliga, och i detta projekt vill jag försöka formulera och utforska mitt sätt att arbeta. Under min studietid har jag upplevt att de största problemen jag haft under designprocessen varit att jag tenderat att bli för självkritisk i ett tidigt skede, vilket har resulterat i låsninIn the early years of architecture school, we learn to shape and explore our creative processes. These become deeply personal, and in this project I want to try defining and exploring my way of working. During my time as a student, I have experienced the biggest problems I had during the design process were that I tended to be too self-critical at an early stage, which resulted in blockages in the
