The aim of this thesis was to analyse and compare how two Swedish parliamentary parties, the Left Party and the Sweden Democrats, have discursively problematized and depicted narcotics through the parties' political motions between the years 2010/11 to 2020/21. This was achieved by collecting all political motions regarding narcotics from each political party during this time span and finally
Heart failure is one of the most common causes of hospitalization in Sweden, and 30\% of all heart failure patients need unplanned readmissions within three months, creating a burden on the healthcare system. This project was conducted within the healthcare model "Hospital at Home", where there is currently no systematic follow-up method of heart failure patients. By monitoring those wit
This study examines the use of transformer-based language models for multi-label classification of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) topics in media coverage of DAX-listed companies. Using a dataset of approximately 11,500 third-party media texts, thirty ESG topics were assigned to documents through a pipeline combining lemmatised keyword matching and semantic similarity. Four models we
The coast is an ever-changing environment, and due to climate change, coastal research is becoming more challenging. To detect changes in the coastline, such as erosion, researchers need large amounts of data over long periods of time. Part of the solution could be the citizen science project CoastSnap – a global community beach monitoring program. The aim of this study was to examine factors that
Neuroanatomical findings on youth anxiety disorders are notoriously difficult to replicate, small in effect size and have limited clinical relevance. These concerns have prompted a paradigm shift toward highly powered (that is, big data) individual-level inferences, which are data driven, transdiagnostic and neurobiologically informed. Here we built and validated supervised neuroanatomical machine
Six coumarins were isolated from two bioactive fractions of the 70% ethanol extract from the twigs and leaves of Wikstroemia indica (L.) C.A. Mey. (Thymelaeaceae), namely the ethyl acetate fraction (WIE) and the water fraction (WIW). These compounds were identified as umbelliferone (1), daphnoretin (2), daphnorin (3), adicardin (4), wikstronutin (5), and triumbelletin-7-O-β-D-glucoside (6). Compou
Background: Asthma with low levels of type 2 (T2) biomarkers is poorly understood. Objective: To characterize severe asthma phenotypes and compare changes in asthma outcomes from pre- to postbiologic treatment along a gradient of T2 involvement. Methods: This was a registry-based cohort study including data from 24 countries. Biomarker distribution (blood eosinophil count, fractional exhaled nitri
Background: Hypertension management guidelines provide recommendations for optimal patient care. However, the limited time available of clinicians is rarely considered. The aim of this study was to evaluate the time clinicians currently spend on different components of hypertension care during an average workday and to assess physicians’ perceptions of the time required for optimal, guideline-base
INTRODUCTION: Inequity in stroke care in Europe has previously been reported despite the existence of evidence-based cost-effective interventions for both prevention and treatment. This report aims to provide comprehensive data on stroke care in Europe in 2023 and explore associations to European regions, organisational and economic factors. PATIENTS AND METHODS: The Stroke Service Tracker, an ann
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Pain as a long-term outcome following rectal cancer treatment has received limited attention in previous studies. This prospective cohort study examined pain prevalence up to 5 years post-surgery in patients treated with curative intent. Secondary aims included evaluating pain intensity and its interference with daily life, and comparing pain experiences with a reference po
This review aims to appraise and summarize the best available evidence from economic evaluations (EEs) of strategies targeting populations prior to a diagnosis of dementia. A comprehensive search was conducted in EMBASE, PubMed, EconLit, Web of Science, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health (CINAHL), and The NHS Economic Evaluation Database (NHS EED). Publications were dually screened and
AimsThe absence of stent implantation when using drug-coated balloons (DCBs) may decrease the required duration of dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT). In the light of this, this study aimed to evaluate outcomes for patients with acute coronary syndromes (ACSs) treated with abbreviated vs. standard DAPT after DCB-only percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).Methods and resultsPatients enrolled in th
Leakage at the floor drain is the biggest cause of moisture damage in bathrooms today. Wooden joists are the most common type of joist structure in houses and because of wood being a moisture sensitive material, moisture damage at the floor drain can lead to big problems. The purpose of this paper was to find out the most common reasons to why moisture damages occur at floor drains installed in wo
This study is a survey of the bottom life of Hjälmsjön outside Örkelljunga in Skåne. The municipal and a row society are going to make an application for permission to dredge the bottom in order to increase the depth up to two meters depth. In the application they need a description of the area including which species live on the bottom and what the ecological status is for the lake. I have sample
The aim of his pilot study is to investigate changes regarding attention, impulsivity and activity in individuals with ADHD who have participated in a seven-weeks mindfulness based group therapy by using an objective test. The degree of mindfulness and self-concept has also been investigated. Method: Changes were investigated from the self-rating scales Conners’ Adult ADHD Rating Scale – self-repo
Syftet med studien var att undersöka hur personal inom äldreomsorg definierar konflikter, vem de anser bär ansvaret för att lösa konflikter samt hur de ser på konfliktförebyggande insatser. Jag har använt mig av en kvalitativ forskningsmetod och intervjuat sex anställda på ett vårdboende inom kommunal omsorg i Helsingborg stad. Jag har analyserat mitt material genom Granérs modell som definierar oThe purpose of this study was to examine how staff in the care of the elderly define conflicts, who they believe is responsible for resolving conflicts and how they look at conflict prevention. I have used a qualitative research method and interviewed six employees in a nursing home in the community care in the town of Helsingborg. I have analyzed my material through Granérs model which defines di
Klimatförändringar i kombination med förtätning av städer kommer leda till ökade översvämningsrisker i stadsmiljö. Hållbar dagvatten- hantering kan bidra till att minska dessa risker och innebär att ytligt avrinnande vatten fördröjs så nära källan som möjligt, fördelaktligen genom naturbaserade lösningar. Kvartersmark utgör ungefär 70% av marken i svenska städer och det saknas såväl tydlig lagstifThe combination of climate change and urban consolidation will lead to increased risk of pluvial flooding in urban environments. Sustainable stormwater management can decrease these risks by using measures for surface runoff to be detained locally, preferably through nature based solutions. Private properties constitute about 70% of the land in Swedish cities and there is a lack of clear legislati
Abstract This work is one of a series of related papers that were made in Lund University. They were done to analyze in a multi scalar way the Yttrium Orthosilicate crystals (YSO), analyzing the variation of material properties stemmed from the mounting, composition and other parameters in the optical properties of Yttrium Orthosilicate crystals. This paper specifically focused on investigating th
Large amounts of plastic in the oceans originate from mismanaged plastic waste, and microplastics (MPs) are the most common type of waste. They can be found in household products, such as sea salts. Therefore, monitoring pollution levels is essential to improve marine health and food safety. This study examined the MP levels in salts produced from the North Atlantic and North Seas and analyzed the
