Vid folksjukdomar som stroke, cancer och demens kan det kapillära blodflödet (perfusionen) i hjärnan påverkas. Genom att studera blodflödet ökar möjligheten att ställa rätt diagnos och i vissa fall kan även behandlingseffekt bedömas via ändringar i blodflödet Med en metod som kallas "dynamic susceptibility contrast magnetic resonance imaging" (DSC-MRI) kan blodflödet mätas med magnetkameIntroductionThe perfusion-related parameters cerebral blood flow (CBF) and cerebral blood volume (CBV) can be measured using dynamic susceptibility-contrast magnetic resonance imaging (DSC-MRI). However, absolute values of CBF and CBV are often overestimated and quantification of these parameters is challenging. By acquiring an independent absolute CBV estimate, a calibration factor can be obtaine

Many people are struggling with eco-anxiety, a chronic fear of environmental doom. Currently, eco-anxiety is managed through face-to-face psychotherapy, but with a lack of eco-anxiety psychology specialists, mobile mental-health applications bring new possibilities. In this thesis, current psychological eco-anxiety management responses (EMRs) are thematically analysed through the lens of Integral

Den utländska prostituerade kvinnan har under drygt 100 år gått från att utvisas på grund av sin asocialitet till att i dag betraktas som ett offer. En utveckling som skett över lång tid där lagstiftarens och samhällets syn på problemet påverkat varandra om vartannat. Ett tydligt ställningstagande presenterades från statens sida när en kriminalisering av sexköp infördes år 1999. Prostitutionen varThe foreign prostitute has, over a period of more than 100 years, transitioned from being deported due to her antisocial behavior to being regarded as a victim today. This development has taken place over an extended period, where the perspectives of legislators and society have alternately influenced each other. A clear stance was taken by the state when the criminalization of sex purchase was in

I juni 2022 röstades ett lagförslag igenom i riksdagen vilket resulterade i att det kostnadsbaserade avdraget för resor till och från arbetet (arbetsresor) ändrades om i grunden till att vara en färdmedelsneutral och avståndsbaserad skattereduktion. Innan de nya reglerna hann träda i kraft den 1 januari 2023 ändrade sig riksdagen och röstade i stället igenom ett förstärkt reseavdrag med höjda schaIn June 2022, a bill was passed through Riksdagen which led to the cost-based write off for traveling to and from your employment (work commute) being changed to accommodate non-specific travel methods and distance based tax deduction. Before the new bills had gone into effect starting from the 1st of january 2023, the Riksdag changed their mind and opted to pass a new bill that allowed for higher

In the 21st century, technological advancements have profoundly influenced various aspects of human life, enhancing both quality and efficiency. The emergence of Facebook in 2004 marked the dawn of the social media era, while the launch of Apple’s iPhone in 2007 revolutionised the mobile phone industry. Entering the 2020s, the spotlight has shifted towards Virtual Reality and Artificial Intelligen

Media holds an irreplaceable role in liberal Western democracies as it assumes core democratic functions such as disseminating information, representing public interests and taking on the role of a watchdog. In relation to the rise of populist radical right parties, research has revealed that media holds a crucial role. Hence, within the context of the rise of the populist radical right party Swed

Detaljerade data är avgörande vid karaktärisering av komplexa förorenade områden. I denna studie utrustar vi ett antal G360-brunnssystem med Star-Oddi milli-TD-tryckgivare i ett mestadels PCE (tetrakloretylen)- och TCE (trikloretylen)-förorenat bostadsområde i Helsingborg. Trots att dessa tryckgivare vanligtvis används inom marina undersökningar gör deras kostnad samt kompakta storlek dem av intreHigh-detailed data are key when characterizing complex contaminated sites. In this study we instrument Star-Oddi milli-TD pressure transducers in G360 multilevel groundwater monitoring systems within a mainly PCE (tetrachloroethylene) and TCE (trichloroethylene) contaminated residential area in Helsingborg, Sweden. Despite these transducers being typically utilized in marine research, their afford

Persons with disabilities are often not considered in larger-scope studies on domestic violence. Domestic violence services, such as crisis shelters or support groups, do often not offer flexibility and accessibility in their services. This can have vast consequences for persons with a disability exposed to domestic violence, and it can prove difficult to leave a violent relationship. The followin

Intro: This study explores the extent to which exercise therapy lowers depression, anxiety, and drug cravings in patients diagnosed with Substance Use Disorder and chronic smokers who are unable to quit independently. Methods: A literature search was conducted until March 2024; journal credibility was confirmed via h-5 index. In total, nineteen randomized and nonrandomized trials (n = 707) were ac

The terrestrial ecosystem stores up to 2400Gt of carbon in the upper 1m of the soil profile. However, this carbon storage is not stable and is vulnerable to loss. Agricultural soils with continuous heavy management drive a release of this soil carbon to the atmosphere. Recently, the implementation of perennial crops has been suggested as a method to facilitate a greater carbon sequestration. Howev

Under de senaste åren har utvecklingen av artificiell intelligens frodats och med sig tagit en förbättrad träffsäkerhet i taligenkänning. Däremot, liksom med alla snabba teknologiska utvecklingar har den sina brister, i det här fallet bristen på dialektal träningsdata. Den här uppsatsen undersöker om AI har en ojämnt fördelad förståelse av regionalt språk, med fokus på försummandet av de sydsvenskThe recent surge in the development of artificial intelligence has greatly improved the accuracy of automatic speech recognition. However, as with all abrupt technical improvements, it will have its weaknesses, in this case the lack of dialectal training data. This thesis investigates if AI has an unevenly distributed understanding of regional speech, focusing on the disregard of southern Swedish

A minimum deduction is a common feature in many modern tax structures. One such example is the resource tax on aquaculture in Norway, which was implemented in 2023. This inclusion has sparked significant debate from both economic and legal perspectives. This thesis analyzes the potential behavioral effects and efficiency costs that can be caused by the minimum deduction in the resource tax on aqua

Research suggests maturing adolescents’ development of Internalizing Problems like Anxiety and Depression, might be due to impaired Executive Functions. However, most knowledge on the topic is non-causal, within clinical context and predominantly focused on Executive Functions assessed with performance tasks and not everyday Executive Problems assessed using questionnaires. Therefore, we cond

The power grid is a fundamental part of the infrastructure that supports modern society, and its importance continues to grow as electrification increases. Furthermore, the rise of renewable energy is changing the operations and structure of power grids. Adding to this complexity is the increasing number of smart devices that are vulnerable to cyberattacks from ill intended adversaries. This creat
