Patienter med depression uppvisar ofta kognitiva nedsättningar. Tidigare forskning har visat inkonsekventa resultat avseende vilka kognitiva funktioner som påverkas och i vilken utsträckning. Dessa variationer skulle kunna förklaras av depressionens heterogena karaktär samt att tidigare studier ofta har rapporterat resultat i sammansatta mått på kognitiv funktion. Denna studie undersökte kognitiv Depression is associated with cognitive impairments, yet findings remain inconsistent regarding which cognitive functions are affected and to what extent, potentially due to disorder heterogeneity and reliance on composite measures of cognitive functioning in previous research. The present study examined cognitive functioning in individuals with anhedonic depression using objective neuropsychologi

Kognitiv förmåga är en central del av barns utveckling, och bedöms ofta med psykologiska test eller skattningsskalor. Hur väl dessa olika metoder samvarierar är oklart, särskilt för yngre barn. I klinisk praktik är det vanligt att använda sig av proxyskattningar vid undersökning av yngre barn, eftersom deras förmåga att använda självskattningsformulär antas vara låg. I vilken utsträckning yngre baCognitive ability is a central aspect of child development, and is commonly assessed using standardized psychological tests or rating scales. How well these different methods correlate remains unclear, particularly in young children. In clinical practice, proxy ratings are often used when administering questionnaires to younger children, as they are assumed to have limited self-report reliability.

The scaling of high-mobility and superconducting transistors places strict demands on electrostatic control, making the gate capacitance a key factor for both performance and operational stability. In hybrid structures that combine semiconductors and superconductors, parasitic capacitances become particularly important, as fringing fields and heterogeneous material interfaces cause the total capac

The alleged relation between mental disorder and violent criminal behaviour has been investigated mainly from an epidemiological perspective. Population-based registry studies have shown that violence occurs more frequently among people with mental disorders, like schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, compared with control subjects, but that the increased risk is largely mediated by drug abuse and s

Promoting Inclusion and Justice in University Teaching offers a theoretical and practical contribution to ongoing debates concerning why and how we need to expand the goals of education in an increasingly diverse academia to enhance inclusivity and equity. It integrates a wide range of well-designed teaching activities grounded in the principles of transformative pedagogy into university settings

This essay asks scholars to overcome the disciplinary divides between the humanities on the one side and the social sciences on the other in order to imagine hopeful future alternatives to petromodernity. This collaboration can only be effective if both sides are open to it, which is why I suggest leveraging speculative design as a means to bridging the disciplines. Speculative design not only unl

This report presents findings from a case study on food sharing in Utrecht conducted within the CULTIVATE project (Co-designing Food Sharing Innovation for Resilience, https:// cultivate-project.eu/), funded by the EU Horizon Research and Innovation Programme (GA#101083377). It contributes to Task 3.1 in Work Package (WP) 3, examining the economic, social, and environmental dimensions of food shar

The discussion around whether entrepreneurship can be taught is becoming obsolete as the number of entrepreneurship courses, specializations and degrees is rising at an unprecedented rate all over the world and the demand for entrepreneurial education teachers or instructors is constantly growing. The global community of entrepreneurial education proponents is enthusiastic about the possibility of

In this book, Ryszard Bobrowicz discusses why seemingly neutral rooms, multi-faith spaces, were subject to contestations from, and clashes between, their users, their managers, and those shaping policies concerning them. From street protests to parliamentary debates, from Sweden to Spain, this book explores the impact of multi-faith spaces in Europe by critically examining the visions of religion

​This book challenges the prevailing notion of stability, cohesiveness, and uniformity within Christian communities, inviting readers to view contestation and disagreement as integral to theological reflection and church identity. While the volume focuses predominantly on the Roman Catholic Church as a case study, various chapters broaden the exploration across other Christian and non-Christian tr

This thesis examines how cultural trauma is mediated and negotiated through film engagement in the post-pandemic and post-socialist Chinese context. Focusing on Lou Ye’s An Unfinished Film, the study investigates how fragmented pandemic experiences become meaningful under conditions where public discourse is restricted. It particularly explores how middling transnational Chinese audiences revisit

This study examines how self-tracking technologies are repurposed within the creative practice of GPS art, focusing on how meaning is produced when tools designed for optimization and behavioral regulation are redirected toward expressive and communicative ends. The motivation for this inquiry lies in the need to understand the relationship between humans and machines beyond deterministic accounts

The Thesis examines how political news satire functions within Armenia's hybrid political regime by analysing ArmComedy, a well-known satirical show. Current scholarship on political satire mostly focuses on Western, developed democracies and examines effect-based questions of knowledge, mobilisation, engagement, and participation, leaving a gap in understanding how political satire functions

This thesis presents the analysis and design of a three-stage pipelined loop-unrolled successive approximation register (Lu-SAR) analog-to-digital converter (ADC) implemented in 65 nm CMOS technology. The ADC is designed to achieve high speed and good linearity under low supply voltage and limited power, targeting wireless communication and high-speed data acquisition applications. At the system

This study investigated the effect of polar lipids from different sources on the in vitro starch digestion rate of bread. Postprandial glycaemic response is strongly influenced by the rate of starch digestion, and polar lipids have been suggested to modulate this process, although the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Bread was used as a model food matrix, and five types of bread were prepared

Despite its rapid growth within sustainable finance, ESG has faced criticism for functioning primarily as a risk management tool, failing to capture holistic conceptions of value beyond those that are financially material. This paper explores the Holistic Value Addition (HVA) framework as an alternative to ESG in Australia, paying attention to First Nations perspectives and intergenerational respo

In the dual pursuit of expanding non-fossil fuel electricity capacity and becoming a ‘developed’ nation, India’s development trajectory drives the rapid expansion of large-scale solar photovoltaics (PV). In Jaisalmer, however, this expansion encounters complex socio-ecological landscapes marked by questions of (in)justice and uneven development. Drawing on energy geographies and energy justice, th

Sweden’s drained peatlands produce around one-fifth of the country’s greenhouse gas emissions, and although rewetting is widely recognised as an important mitigation measure, progress has remained slow. This thesis characterises Sweden’s drained peatlands as a multi-level socio-ecological-technical system (ML-SETS) and analyses why the drainage-based regime persists. Using a mixed-methods design g

Fossil fuel companies have shifted from outright climate denial to subtler strategies of delay. These include low-carbon solutions — carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS) and hydrogen — which legitimise and extend fossil fuel dependency. This study examines how low-carbon discourses operate through the media in Singapore, a major refining and petrochemical hub with an authoritarian state-

This study examined how Indigenous and local knowledge (ILK) contributes to social-ecological resilience in Libertad, Antique, Northwest Panay Island, Philippines, through two subsistence livelihoods: Bariw (screw palm) harvesting/weaving and freshwater shrimp fishing. Using a qualitative research approach involving participant observations, key informant interviews, focus group discussions, and c
