Transgender persons experience a disproportionate representation in adverse mental health conditions globally. In Sweden there are tangible efforts to improving mental healthcare overall, but as a minority population, transgender persons still struggle with meeting their mental healthcare needs. While social factors such as stigma and discrimination act as catalysts for this burden, there is an ab
The purpose of this study was to investigate the understanding of the diagnoses ADHD and DAMP within different professional categories in the educational system, how it is being addressed and how this affect their work with children diagnosed with ADHD or DAMP. We also wanted to shed some light on the debate between Kärfve and Gillberg, about whether the diagnoses of ADHD and DAMP are social const
This presentation reports on a study of the writing behaviour of some (n=21) Swedish speaking 14-15-year olds when composing in Swedish, their first language, and in English as a foreign language. The approach taken in this study is a psycholinguistic/cognitive one using the key-stroke logging tool, ScriptLog (Strömqvist & Karlsson, 2002; Strömqvist & Malmsten, 1998, see www.scriptlog.net
Despite Sweden having implemented strict laws against child abuse and adopting the Convention on the Rights of the Child into law, child abuse remains a significant societal issue. Although it is clear that legal changes play a role in strengthening the protection and rights of children, legislation and actual circumstances do not always align. This study aimed to highlight different experiences o
Efforts to reduce energy consumption in buildings have increased with the pending impact of climate change. Heat losses through airing behaviours remain a largely unknown factor due to the variety of reasons for opening a window, making generalization difficult. Currently, an estimation of 4 kWh/m2 heated area for airing heat loss is assumed in Sweden. Additionally, the resulting airflow from open
Aims: Resuscitated out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients who remain comatose after hospital arrival are at high risk of mortality due to anoxic brain injury. MicroRNA are small-non-coding RNA molecules ultimately involved in gene-silencing. They show promise as biomarkers, as they are stable in body fluids. The microRNA 9-3p (miR-9-3p) is associated with neurological injury in trauma and
AIM: Routine colonoscopy to exclude colorectal cancer (CRC) after CT-verified acute diverticulitis is controversial. This study aimed to compare the incidence of CRC in acute diverticulitis patients with that in the general population. METHOD: Patients with an emergency admission for diverticular disease, to any Norwegian hospital, between January 1st , 2008 and December 31st , 2010 were included
Diabetes is the leading cause of ESRD. Despite evidence for a substantial heritability of diabetic kidney disease, efforts to identify genetic susceptibility variants have had limited success. We extended previous efforts in three dimensions, examining a more comprehensive set of genetic variants in larger numbers of subjects with type 1 diabetes characterized for a wider range of cross-sectional
Syftet med denna uppsats är att analysera och utreda beskattning av illegal verksamhet med fokus på narkotikahandel och prostitution. I Sverige har vi ingen uttrycklig lagreglering som undantar brottslig verksamhet skatteplikt, det innebär att praxis är vägledande för om och hur en sådan verksamhet ska beskattas. Praxis på området, särskilt gällande narkotikahandel, har visat en del otydligheter oThe purpose of this essay is to analyze and investigate the taxation of illegal activities with a focus on drug trafficking and prostitution. In Sweden, there is no explicit legal rule exempting criminal income from taxation, which means that case law is crucial in determining whether and how such activities should be taxed. Judicial practice, particularly regarding drug trafficking, has shown inc
Extreme heat and heatwaves constitute a growing challenge för municipal planning in relation to climate change. The aim of this study is to examine how risks related to extreme heat are addressed in the comprehensive planning of Malmö, Landskrona and Hässleholm, and also see how these approaches can be understood in relation to urban resilience and the PCCC framework created by Jabareen (2015) - P
Sensing technologies offer several advantages for industrial tooling. In mechanical processing and manufacturing environments, sensors can be used to monitor process conditions, support predictive maintenance, reduce unnecessary material losses, and improve overall production efficiency. Therefore, as manufacturing systems become more advanced and data-driven, the integration of sensors has become
The rapid growth of photovoltaic (PV) deployment has raised concerns about the management of end-of-life PV modules, particularly crystalline silicon (c-Si) technologies approaching the end of their service life. Although PV systems contribute to renewable electricity generation, the increasing number of ageing modules poses environmental, technical, and resource-related challenges regarding wheth
Tungsten (W) and its alloys exhibit impressive properties for use in structural components of nuclear fusion reactors. However, impurity induced embrittlement of W grain boundaries (GBs) is a major concern for reactor applications, and necessitates the investigation of the impact of the impurities on the fracture behaviour of the GBs. This work comprises four papers (I-IV) that deal with atomistic
Viral etiology of nasal polyps was postulated as many as 40 years ago, but so far, no study has shown an association or causal relation between any specific virus and nasal polyps. By using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique, nasal polyps from both 10 patients with intolerance to nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID intolerance) (e.g., Aspirin) and from 10 patients with no histor
The aim of this article is to explore how courts produce certain representations of victims of labor exploitation in the Nordic context based on court judgements from Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden. To achieve this, we analyze and compare criminal court judgements focused on the exploitation of migrant workers by asking: How are ‘victims’ of labor exploitation represented in Nordic court jud
Transportation noise is a growing public health concern worldwide and epidemiological evidence has linked road traffic noise with mortality. However, incongruent effect estimates have been reported between incidence and mortality studies. Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate whether long-term exposure to residential road traffic noise at the most and least exposed façades was associat
Background--Long-term disease progression after myocardial infarction (MI) is inadequately understood. We evaluated the pattern and angiographic properties (culprit lesion [CL]/non-CL [NCL]) of recurrent MI (re-MI) in a large real-world patient population. Methods and Results--Our observational study used prospectively collected data in 108 615 patients with first-occurrence MI enrolled in the SWE
Hur man beskriver och eftersträvar välbefinnande är viktigt, eftersom det påverkar både forskning och samhället i stort. Denna avhandling handlar om hur välbefinnande definieras och mäts, vilket både innefattar en kritisk diskussion kring befintliga teorier om välbefinnande samt en utveckling av empiriska metoder och statistiska verktyg för att öka vår förståelse gällande hur personer uppfattar ocHow to define and measure individuals’ well-being is important, as this has an impact on both research and society at large. This thesis concerns how to define and measure the self-reported well-being of individuals, which involves both theorizing as well as developing and applying empirical and statistical methods in order to gain a better understanding of well-being.The first paper critically re
Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the extent of white matter lesions, atrophy of the hippocampus and corpus callosum, and their correlation with cognitive dysfunction (CD), in patients diagnosed with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Methods: Seventy SLE patients and 25 healthy individuals (HIs) were included in the study. To evaluate the different SLE and neuropsychiatric SLE (NPSLE) d
