Animals are often used in advertising, especially in commercials. When given human characteristics, and used in several commercials over a longer period of time, anthropomorphic animal spokespersons are born. These animals are neither real animals nor humans. They are hybrids, or fake animals. Fake in the sense that they are fictive, they lack an existing model and they are an assembly of many thi
The Chinese population is rapidly aging, which has brought challenges for the elderly support system. Until very recently, only urban employees were eligible to receive a pension, while the rural elderly were forced to rely on income from their own labor and support from their family. In these circumstances, it is unsurprising that the rural elderly were most likely to fall into poverty. The recen
End-tidal CO2 concentration correlates with pulmonary blood flow during cardiopulmonary resuscitation and has been claimed to be a useful tool to judge the effectiveness of chest compression. A high concentration of end-tidal CO2 has been related to a better outcome. However, most authors have noticed a decrease in end-tidal CO2 concentration after administration of epinephrine, concomitant with a
Popular Abstract in Swedish Denna avhandling ger ett bidrag till teorin om strategisäkra kollektiva beslut. I denna teori undersöks under vilka förutsättningar det är möjligt att konstruera omröstningsprocedurer (hädanefter kallade för kollektiva valfunktioner) som är strategisäkra i den bemärkelsen att ingen väljare kan ändra utfallet av en omröstning till sin fördel genom att inte rösta enligt sThis thesis makes a contribution to strategy-proof social choice theory, in which one investigates the conditions under which it is possible to construct social choice functions (i.e., voting procedures) that can never be manipulated in the sense that some voter, by misrepresentation of his true preferences, can change the outcome of a voting and obtain an alternative he prefers to the one that ho
Background: In observational studies, men with prostate cancer treated with gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonists had a higher risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) compared to men who had undergone orchiectomy. However, selection bias may have influenced the difference in risk. Objective: To investigate the association of type of androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) with risk of CVD while m
We analyzed seasonal influenza vaccination coverage among the Italian healthcare workers (HCW) in order to identify socio-demographic and clinical determinants of vaccination. We used data from the survey "Health and health care use in Italy," which comprised interviews of 5,336 HCWs For each respondent, information on socioeconomic, health conditions, self-perceived health and smoking status were
Popular Abstract in English The term perceptual alignment is used in various research fields to describe the extent to which individuals share the same perceptions about an object or idea.

Perceptual alignment is important from a corporate branding perspective because strong corporate brands express associations and sources of ideals that are attractive and appealing to the stakeholders related to the organisation.

Background: Current research addressing recovery and everyday occupations among individuals with severe mental illness tends to focus on people of working age, whereas those aging with such conditions receive little attention. Whether younger and older users of mental health services differ regarding how they perceive their everyday occupations, personal recovery and quality of life seems unknown.
Background: The incidence, aetiology, and outcome of unplanned intensive care unit admission after elective colon cancer surgery remain unclear. This study investigated the incidence of, and factors associated with, unplanned intensive care unit admission following elective colon cancer resection in Sweden. Methods: This nationwide retrospective registry study included adult patients undergoing el
Context. The nuclear stellar disc (NSD) of the Milky Way is a dense, rotating stellar system in the central ~200 pc. The NSD is thought to be primarily fuelled by bar-driven gas inflows from the inner Galactic disc. Aims. As part of the LEGARE project, we aim to construct the first chemical-evolution models for the NSD using a Bayesian approach tailored to reproducing the observed metallicity-dist
Flyktingkrisen 2015 innebar en ökad invandring till Sverige och i samband med den krävdes en lagreform för att skapa en jämnare fördelning av nyanlända invandrare mellan landets kommuner. Detta resulterade i att bosättningslagen trädde i kraft i mars 2016. Den nya lagen innebär en skyldighet för kommuner att numera efter anvisning av en länsstyrelse årligen ta emot ett antal nyanlända invandrare oThe refugee crisis in 2015 meant increased immigration to Sweden and in conjunction with it, a reform of the legislation was required to create a more even distribution of newly arrived immigrants among the country's municipalities. This resulted in the Housing Act coming into effect in March 2016. The new law stipulates an obligation for municipalities to annually receive a number of newly ar
Background: In Sweden, dental care for children and adolescents, including specialist orthodontic treatment, is publicly funded. This study aims to analyze the impact of sociodemographic factors on the distribution of publicly funded specialist orthodontic treatment in a mid-sized Swedish region. Methods: A registry-based cohort study was conducted in Region Östergötland, including individuals bor
Background: Large bone defects are challenging to manage clinically and usually require treatment with bone graft or bone graft substitute. This study evaluated the effect of romosozumab, a sclerostin antibody, in combination with demineralized bone matrix (DBM) on bone regeneration in a critical-size ulnar defect model in nonhuman primates. Methods: In cynomolgus monkeys (N = 22, male, 10–12 year
Background: Neuropsychiatric symptoms (NPS) are very common in patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and Alzheimer's disease (AD) dementia and are associated with various disadvantageous clinical outcomes including a negative impact on quality of life, caregiver burden, and accelerated disease progression. Despite growing evidence of the efficacy of (non)pharmacological interventions to re
Background: It has been estimated that approximately 20% of all Swedish children grow up with parents having alcohol problems, which may result in negative outcomes among these children. Therefore, most Swedish municipalities provide resources for support, but at the same time figures reveal that not even 2% receive support, mainly due to difficulties in identifying and recruiting these children i
Popular Abstract in Swedish Utgångspunkten för denna avhandling är de många bekymmer som präglar vår tid - däribland också bekymret om frivillighetens framtid i ett postmodernt samhälle. Det är en paradox, när det å ena sidan hävdas att det moderna samhället är i kris, att den sociala gemenskaperna har brutit samman och att människor inte längre ställer upp, engagerar sig och hjälper varandra. OchThe theme of this thesis is motives for voluntarism - with particular focus on volunteering in social work compared to voluntary work in sports clubs and patient associations. It is based on a combination of different data sources and methodological approaches: surveys, analyses of letters from volunteers and literature studies. Theoretically the thesis is based on two sets of sociological theorie
Abstract in Undetermined Numbers of soil bacteria stained with acridine orange (AO) or fluorescein diacetate (FDA) were studied for 3 and 2 yr respectively. Three pine forest sites were used and both organic and mineral soil layers were included. Different patterns of fluctuation in bacterial numbers were found each year. Significant correlations were demonstrated between AO-stained bacterial numb
