Binge eating disorder (BED) is associated with several psychological and medical problems, such as obesity. Approximately 30% of individuals seeking weight loss treatments present binge eating symptomatology. Moreover, current treatments for BED lack efficacy at follow-up assessments. Developing mindfulness and self-compassion seem to be beneficial in treating BED, although there is still room for

Museomics is a valuable approach that utilizes the diverse biobanks that are natural history museums. The ability to sequence genomes from old specimens has expanded not only the variety of interesting taxa available to study but also the scope of questions that can be investigated in order to further knowledge about biodiversity. Here, we present whole genome sequencing results from the enigmatic

One of the most significant roles of the EU in the world is that of being a norms exporter. The EU has concluded numerous agreements with countries in its neighbourhood with the aim of encouraging third countries to adopt EU acquis in exchange for access to the internal market. The most ambitious of these agreements are the three multilateral agreements establishing the European Economic Area, the

This study presents the results of a set of large-scale fire tests performed on horizontal polyurethane foam slabs. Slab thickness, ignition location, and environment (free burn or corner wall) were varied over 23 individual tests. In a continuation of a previous study by the authors, four different slab thicknesses, five different ignition locations, and three environmental modification combinati

A palliative cancer diagnosis in a parent has a major impact on many aspects of patients’ children. This article aims to explore how doctors and social workers met children as relatives of a parent with cancer in order to understand the possibilities and difficulties in supporting children in specialised palliative homecare in Sweden. Qualitative, semi-structured interviews of doctors and social w

A full-scale membrane bioreactor (MBR) with ultrafiltration, followed by granular activated carbon (GAC), was examined to determine the potential of reusing treated water as a source of drinking water or for irrigation. The major part of the bacteria removal took place in the MBR, whereas the GAC removed substantial amounts of organic micropollutants. Annual variations in inflow and infiltration r

High-Arctic environments are facing an elevated pace of warming and increasing human activities, making them more susceptible to the introduction and spread of alien species. We investigated the role of human disturbance in facilitating the spread of a native plant (Papaver dahlianum) in a high-Arctic natural environment close to Isfjord Radio station and along adjacent hiking trails at Kapp Linné

In order to strengthen the bio-based economy, it is necessary to produce value-added products by processing all fractions of the biomass, especially lignin. Isolation of lignin at atmospheric pressure and lower temperature will make it possible to recover lignin and use it for different purposes. In the present study, lignins were recovered from wood sawdust by applying six different organosolv tr

För att effektivare nå uppställda mål och för att skapa en snabbare projekteringsprocess så har ett antal forskare på CIFE (Center for Facility Engineering) tagit fram en mötesmetodik de har benämnt ICE. ICE kännetecknas av stora möten där fler teknikområden representeras för att driva projektet framåt. Sweco, det studerade företaget, har som första svenska konsultföretag inom anläggningsbranschenWith the aim to reach goals in a more efficient way and to create a faster process for projects scientists in CIFE (Center for Facility Engineerig) developed a method for meetings they call ICE. ICE is known as a bigger form of meeting where many technique-areas gather to make the project move forward. Sweco, the company where the study took place, is the first Swedish consulting company to certif

Från giftiga potatisar till användbara proteiner Potatis är en av världens mest odlade grödor. Den innehåller både kolhydrater och proteiner och har ett högt näringsvärde. Det talas ofta om att det är viktigt att få i sig proteiner, men sällan om proteinets emulgerande, konsistengivande och skummande egenskaper. Dessa egenskaper är högt värderade inom livsmedelsindustrin. Traditionell odling harPotato protein is an industrial side product with highly desirable properties which can be utilized if the toxic glycoalkaloids can be removed in a gentle way which doesn’t damage the protein. The challenge within this project is to find an extraction technique efficient enough to remove the toxic glycoalkaloids, but still mild enough to preserve the protein from denaturation. Supercritical CO2 ex

Purpose - The primary purpose of this thesis is to generate insights into the practical relevance and existing attempts of an aligned employer and corporate brand. The literature suggests that both employer branding and corporate branding are not aligned for a consistent brand, and each of the department responsible for the respective branding concept works in separate silos without cross-function

Authors: Florian Drechsler and Frederik Mante Advisors: Martin Blom Keywords: Pricing Models, Software Vendors, Pricing Model Development, Pricing Theories Purpose: To investigate the development process of software pricing models with special regard to the enterprise software market. Further, we looked at existing pricing theories in order to assess their applicability on the market of special

Dagens samhälle står inför en stor klimatutmaning vilket ställer höga krav på alla branscher, inte minst bygg- och fastighetsbranschen. Byggnader och lokaler står idag för en tredjedel av Sveriges energianvändningen där 60 % går till uppvärmning. För att minska utsläppen från bostäder och lokaler har stort fokus lagts på byggnaders energianvändning under dess driftsfas. I takt med att byggnader bl

In order to study and evaluate the care provided at the Intensive Care Unit (ICU), an accurate model to assess severity of illness and predict patient mortality based on admission data is required. Since 1983, the Simplified Acute Physiology Score (SAPS) based on logistic regression (LR) has become one of the international standards for this purpose and is used in Sweden for adults. While being a

The purpose of this study was to describe and investigate the system of support to parents as it is motivated in Swedish officials’ reports 1972-1997. The main research questions of the study where: Which conceptions about parenthood appear in the officials reports? Which conceptions are expressed about the responsibility between the individual and the state referring to the support system to pare

This thesis aims to examine the relationship between climate justice and climate migration. The goal is to describe this relationship’s place in international policy making. Impacts from climate change will make certain areas of the world uninhabitable, inducing so-called “climate migration”. The number of migrants is predicted to be between 200 million and 250 million by 2050. Currently, there is

The greater wax moth, Galleria mellonella, is a serious pest of honey bees, Apis mellifera, damaging the quality of honey produced and creating a problem for bee industry. Mating behaviour in this species takes place with the help of a male-released pheromone tracked by females over long distances. Previously, the male pheromone was identified to be a blend of nonanal and undecanal but this aldehy

Den europeiska stålindustrin står för en betydande del av EUs CO2-utsläpp, men har samtidigt begränsade möjligheter att minska utsläppen från befintliga produktionsmetoder. Det krävs därför nya, banbrytande processinnovationer för att åstadkomma verkligt stora utsläppsminskningar. Denna rapport ger en översiktlig beskrivning av den europeiska stålindustrin teknologiska innovationssystem, belyst geThe EU steel industry is a major contributor to human-induced CO2 emissions and has limited possibilities to improve incumbent production methods further. The industry is therefore strongly dependent on new breakthrough decarbonisation technologies in order to further mitigate emissions. This report provides an overview of the EU steel industry’s technological innovation system, through a new mapp
