Background: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is invariably fatal but there are large variations in the rate of progression. The lack of predictability can make it difficult to plan clinical interventions. This includes the requirement for gastrostomy where early or late placement can adversely impact quality of life and survival. Methods: We designed a model to predict the timing of gastrostomy
dolescents with an immigrant background have poorer educational performance than their native counterparts, which may partly be explained by the quality of their neighbourhood area upon immigration to Sweden. An important part of neighbourhood quality is neighbourhood socioeconomic status (NSES). This study examines the impact of initial NSES on subsequent school grades in refugees by using a natuAdolescents with an immigrant background have poorer educationalperformance than their native counterparts, which may partly be explainedby the quality of their neighbourhood area upon immigration to Sweden.

A search for heavy Majorana neutrinos in scattering of same-sign W boson pairs in proton–proton collisions at s=13 TeV at the LHC is reported. The dataset used corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 140 fb−1, collected with the ATLAS detector during 2015–2018. The search is performed in final states including a same-sign ee or eμ pair and at least two jets with large invariant mass and a large
Objective: To estimate the probability of vaginal events (diagnosis and/or surgery) following radical cystectomy (RC) and explore possible risk factors in a nationwide population-based observational registry based study. Patients and Methods: Women undergoing RC for urinary bladder cancer in Sweden, from 1 January 1997 to 31 December 2019, were identified within national registries. Women with any
Due to the refugee crisis that evolved in 2015, the Swedish Government introduced a new refugee policy in order to decrease the number of asylum seekers arriving in Sweden. This new refugee policy resulted, among other things, in a temporary law that limits the possibilities to receive a residence permit in Sweden. The temporary law has received a great amount of criticism from several consultatio
This thesis analyses the compliance of the CCCTB directive proposals with certain aspects of Protocol (No 2) on the Application of the Principles of Subsidiarity and Proportionality. The thesis presents the various CCCTB proposals issued by the European Commission in 2011 and 2016. The analysis focuses on the CCCTB proposals’ compliance with the principles of subsidiarity and proportionality and h
Abstract Problem: While it has been extensively studied which personal characteristics enhance entrepreneurial learning from failure, the mechanisms of how those characteristics contribute to entrepreneurial learning process has not yet been fully understood. Aim: Through a comprehensive model, this research aims to explore how different personal characteristics influence the different stages o
A real-time kernel in Pascal for a Motorola MC 68000 mikroprocessor has been implemented to be used on ASEA's DS101 microcomputer system. An arbitrary number of processes can be executing concurrently. The following primitives for process synchronization are available. 1. Priority, 2. Semaphores, 3. Message passing, 4. Monitors, 5. Waittime, 6. Vectoried interrupt. The processes are realized a
The aim of this project is to evaluate the sign to evacuation routes that are adapted for people with a disability. The goal is to shed light on problem areas when the sign is used as well as in planning with evacuation signs. The sign was introduced to lead to evacuation points, evacuation elevators and routes to the outside adapted for people with disabilities. With help from experts, a literatu
This Bachelor’s thesis examines how masculinity is enacted in three different advertising campaigns from the Dutch menswear brand Suitsupply. The material consists of six photos, which are analyzed using visual semiotic analysis based on Barthes’ theories. To categorize the masculinity, theories from Connell, Halberstam and Nordberg are used. Ethnicity, poses, gaze, milieus and class are contribut
Recently, several regions in southern Sweden suffered extremely low groundwater levels following a long-term infrequency in rainfall. In response, irrigation was banned in many of the affected municipalities during 2016–2017, amongst which Mörbylånga municipality was one. Because nearly half of the nation’s drinking water is extracted from groundwater, protecting and managing this vital resource i
Europeiska kommissions förslag till en ny Dublin IV-förordning lades fram den 4 maj 2016, COM 2016 (270). Med hjälp av detta instrument ska det vara möjligt att fastställa vilken medlemsstat som är ansvarig för att granska en ansökan om internationellt skydd från tredjelandsmedborgare och statslösa personer som underställs Europeiska unionen. Förslagets effektivitet kommer att studeras genom dess
Several large, international institutes and think tanks, like Varieties of Democracy (V-Dem), International IDEA, and Freedom House, among others, focus on measuring and tracking government regime types and political environments, primarily through measuring democracies. Yet for all of their sophistication and massive datasets, there are misalignments between democracy scores and human rights for
Achieving a sustainable Swedish industry will require better utilization of resources already available and already spent. Nationally, vast amounts of heat are released into the atmosphere and not made use of. If only a fraction of this energy could be exploited, the path to net zero emission society by 2045 would be thousands of tons worth of CO2 closer. In Sweden, 25% of excess heat delivered to
This thesis uses a dynamic conditional correlation (DCC) model to investigate the correlation between major cryptocurrencies, US government bonds and the S&P 500 and MSCI World indices in order to establish the hedge, safe haven and diversifier properties of cryptocurrencies. While US Treasuries have exhibited negative correlation and hedging properties against equity risk for decades, recent
This thesis examines the use of ARMAX models for predicting cryptocurrency trading volumes, with Google Trends data serving as an exogenous variable. The spec- ulative nature of cryptocurrencies suggests that market sentiment, reflected in search trends, could influence trading activity. To test this hypothesis, the predictive performance of ARMAX models is compared to ARMA models across six crypt
