Dubois, Rucker, and Galinsky (2012, Experiment 1) found that consumers view larger-size options as a signal of higher status. We conducted a close replication of this finding (N = 415), and observed a nonsignificant effect in the opposite direction (small vs. large product size: doriginal = 1.49, 95%CI [1.09, 1.89], dreplication = 0.09 95%CI [-0.15, 0.33]; medium vs. large: doriginal = 0.89 95%CI
Background: Swefoot is a Swedish national registry, that covers surgery in the foot and ankle. Surgical treatment of hallux rigidus (HR) vary within and between countries. The aim of this study was to report baseline variables for patients with HR. Methods: We extracted baseline characteristics, surgical procedures and patient-reported data for patients with HR entered in the registry during the p
Objective: To estimate the diagnostic performance of sonographic cervical length for the prediction of preterm birth (PTB). Design: Prospective observational multicentre study. Setting: Seven Swedish ultrasound centres. Sample: A cohort of 11 456 asymptomatic women with a singleton pregnancy. Methods: Cervical length was measured with transvaginal ultrasound at 18–20 weeks of gestation (C×1) and a
Huntingtons sjukdom (HS) är en ärftlig fortskridande neurodegenerativ sjukdomsom orsakas av en förlängd CAG sekvens i huntingtin (HTT) genen, vilket leder till motoriska och kognitiva symptom samt personlighetsförändringar. Eftersom den muterade genen och proteinet den kodar för finns uttryckt i kroppens alla celler resulterar det i att även organ utanför hjärnan påverkas. En förhöjd ämnesomsättniHuntington´s disease (HD) is a fatal inherited neurodegenerative disorder caused by a CAG triplet repeat expansion in the huntingtin (HTT) gene and characterized by cognitive and motoric dysfunctions as well as psychiatric problems. Accumulating evidence, however, suggests altered energy metabolism and a hyper-catabolic state as key features of HD pathology. In clinical HD, body weight has been sh
Klimatförändringarna kommer att påverka ekosystem och samhällen över hela världen. Det är ett problem som kräver drastiska och omedelbara förändringar av vårt sätt att leva och av våra samhällsstrukturer, och därmed politiskt engagemang av aldrig tidigare skådat slag. Under de senaste 30 åren, sedan bildandet av Förenta Nationernas ramkonvention om klimatförändringar (Klimatkonventionen; UNFCCC) åThe rise of climate change as an issue of global concern has rested on scientific representation and understanding of the causes and impacts of, and responses to climatic change. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), in particular, has been central to how climate change has become known as a global political problem. This thesis aims to critically examine the production, negotiatio
Popular Abstract in Swedish En indikator-jon för en kvantdator Ända sedan transistorn uppfanns 1948 har datorer blivit allt mer kraftfulla. Trots den enorma utveckling som skett finns det fortfarande problem som är för svåra för en dator att lösa. Ett exempel är simulering av stora molekyler, t.ex. proteiner, vilket skulle vara användbart inom medicin och biologi, bland annat för att förutsäga hRare-earth ions doped into a transparent crystal can have optically excited states with coherence times of milliseconds and hyperfine levels with coherence times of hours when cooled down to liquid helium temperatures. This makes them attractive for developing quantum computing hardware. A quantum transistor can be implemented in a rare-earth-ion-doped crystal by utilizing a dipole blockade effe
Popular Abstract in Swedish Intresset för evidens-baserad vård växer snabbt men trots att nya forskningsresultat produceras och publiceras löpande, tar det lång tid innan de får genomslag i den vård som erbjuds patienter och brukare. Det finns beräkningar som talar för att det tar mellan åtta och trettio år innan tillgängliga forskningsresultat har blivit implementerade och börjat användas rutinmäThe aim of this thesis was to investigate and synthesise the knowledge base concerning leadership and its influence on the implementation of evidence-based practice. A further aim was to investigate attitudes and beliefs among politicians, healthcare managers and mental healthcare professionals about the Swedish national guidelines for schizophrenia or schizophrenia-like conditions. Data was colle
The ALICE Collaboration has made the first measurement at the LHC of J/psi photoproduction in ultra-peripheral Pb-Pb collisions at root s(NN) = 2.76 TeV. The J/psi is identified via its dimuon decay in the forward rapidity region with the muon spectrometer for events where the hadronic activity is required to be minimal. The analysis is based on an event sample corresponding to an integrated lumin
Being a manager and being defined as a good leader can differ in various organizations depending on the sector, profession, values and attitudes. The purpose of this thesis is to study management programs and how organizations work to implement leadership criteria and values into future managers. The purpose is fulfilled by studying the case of Primärvården Skåne and examining the essence of their
Denna studie syftar till att undersöka hur cancelleringsprocesser ser ut i samband med skandaler för influencers och hur de utvecklas under tidens gång. Detta görs i form av en fallstudie, närmre specifikt skandalfallet med Margaux Dietz som inträffade år 2022. För att kunna dra vetenskapliga slutsatser baserat på empiri som följer narrativet, tar rapporten fäste i två teoretiska utgångspunkter - This study aims to investigate the dynamics of cancellation processes in relation to scandals involving influencers and how they evolve over time. It is conducted through a case study, specifically focusing on the scandal involving Margaux Dietz that occurred in 2022. In order to draw scientific conclusions based on empirical evidence that aligns with the narrative, the report adopts two theoretic
När forskare blickar ut i universum ser de överallt spåren av en stor mängd osynlig massa. Massan finns där men det går inte att se den. Ungefär 80% av all massa i universum beräknas bestå av denna "mörka materia". Det är som att mänskligheten står på stranden och blickar ut över havet utan att veta vad vatten är. I partikelfysik studeras universums minsta beståndsdelar, elementarpartiklarna, för The high event rate delivered by the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) provides experiments with opportunities for new discoveries as well as challenges related to the large amounts of data recorded. Overcoming this requires innovative techniques in the three topics of this thesis: Data acquisition, data analysis, and data compression.In the data taking period of 2015-2018, the ATLAS experiment received
As Special Purpose Acquisition Companies (SPACs) are becoming the increasingly popular method of taking a company public, the lack of research on abnormal returns for this asset class since its introduction to the major exchanges validates a reason to expand the investigation. This thesis examines the potential abnormal returns found in different stages of recent SPACs lifecycle, dividing the SPAC
In this study, a novel macroporous composite biomaterial consisting of gelatin-hydroxyapatite-calcium sulphate for delivery of bone morphogenic protein-2 (rhBMP-2) and zoledronic acid (ZA) has been developed. The biomaterial scaffold has a porous structure and functionalization of the scaffold with rhBMP-2 induces osteogenic differentiation of MC3T3-e1 cells seen by a significant increase in bioch
The relative efficacy and harms of balloon kyphoplasty (BK) for treating vertebral compression fractures (VCF) are uncertain. We searched multiple electronic databases to March 2016 for randomized and quasi-randomized controlled trials comparing BK with control treatment (nonsurgical management [NSM], percutaneous vertebroplasty [PV], KIVA VCF treatment system [Benvenue Medical, Inc., Santa Clara,
