Background: Perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are organic compounds with widespread environmental occurrence and documented associations with multiple health effects. The pathophysiology remains unclear, although there are indications of potential involvement of metabolic pathways. Objective: To evaluate associations between serum PFAS concentrations and the metabolome in Swedish adults. Methods: W
We introduce a simple dynamic model of opinion formation, in which a finite population of individuals hold vector-valued opinions. At each time step, each individual’s opinion moves towards the mean opinion but is then perturbed independently by a centred multivariate Gaussian random variable, with covariance proportional to the covariance matrix of the opinions of the population. We establish pre
Context: The spatial competitive relationship between wetland restoration and productive land expansion represents a core challenge in regional land use sustainability. Objectives: This study aims to develop a deep learning framework capable of jointly capturing the spatiotemporal characteristics of land competition. It further seeks to understand changes in the competitive relationship between we
Denna seminariedag gäller ämnet fastighetsköp. Det är ett klassiskt område som alltid är aktuellt. Ämnets betydelse kan mätas i de ofantliga värden som hanteras vid fastighetstransaktioner liksom i domstolarnas statistik över vanliga tvister. På seminariedagen tar vi upp både frågor om fel i fastigheten och om de formella kraven för ett giltigt köp. Vi har även programpunkter om köp utanför jordab
Denna gång är ämnet Markexploateringens juridik. Det är ett område som är utsatt för stora och snabba förändringar och detta speglas i höstens seminarium. Fastighetsägare, kommuner och staten har alla till uppgift att utveckla samhället och få till stånd nödvändigt byggande, men det finns gott om kolliderande regler och intressen. Den snabba utvecklingen har också medfört att det nu finns mycket i
Occupational participation refers to engaging in roles and activities that support self-care, societal engagement, and well-being in response to personal and environmental demands. Although research on military sexual trauma (MST) increasingly examines its effects on women’s occupations, its broader impact, particularly beyond gendered roles, remains underexplored. This study used a constructivist
This article explores the epistemological and ontological dimensions of vulnerability in research practice from the perspective of a researcher with a clinical diagnosis of Post-Traumatic-Stress-Disorder. It retraces the author’s journey conducting interviews with jihadist group members in France, based on a four-year research ethnographic project exploring the intimacies of jihadist group members
The preparation of extensive, atomically flat surfaces remains a central challenge in modern quantum materials research, as many crystals lack natural cleavage planes suitable for advanced surface-sensitive investigations. Here, we demonstrate that laser scribing guided by an ultrafast laser can be applied to facilitate easy cleavage along a desired crystallographic plane under ultra-high vacuum.
Background: Nature-based interventions (NBIs) have been identified to support a recovery-oriented approach for people experiencing mental health issues. However, there is still limited knowledge related to how mental health service users experience their recovery process when engaged in NBIs. Aim: To explore and explain how mental health service users experience the process of personal recovery fr
The mildly diabetic Goto-Kakizaki (GK) rat is widely used to study type 2 diabetes (T2D), yet the mechanisms underlying defective insulin secretion in this model remain incompletely understood. We therefore investigated the effects of multiple secretagogues on insulin and glucagon secretion as well as on blood glucose in vivo, followed by mechanistic studies assessing insulin secretion, ATP conten
Interest in violence and graphic content is traditionally explained in relation to media effects concerns, desensitization, or individual psychological attraction. This thesis approaches the interest from a different angle, focusing instead on the morbid nature of such curiosity by exploring how engagement with crime narratives is collectively organized within Swedish digital true crime podcast co
The aim of this study is to explore how non-EU migrants legally residing in Sweden construct narrative identity in relation to experiences of social exclusion. Meaning, how do they make sense of both perceived injustices and also their lack of access to the rights that Swedish citizens enjoy. Moreover, previous research on hostile policies, narrative identity and state sanctioned discriminatory h
This study aims to examine students' experiences of how academic stress affects their well-being and studies. The study focuses on the process of students' cognitive assessment regarding examinations, and how students use study techniques and social support as a coping strategy. We conducted a qualitative study using semi-structured interviews with eight social work students across differe
This study aimed to examine the work of elderly counselors in municipal eldercare, focusing on how they describe older people’s psychosocial needs, their mandate and professional role, and the need for a profession responsible for providing psychosocial support to older people. The study is based on eight semi-structured interviews with nine elderly counselors working in municipalities in central
Genom användning av drönarinsamlade hyperspektrala bilder undersöktes ett stånd med gran (Picea abies (L.) H. Karst.). Utvalda träd blev inokulerade med den parasitiska svampen Heterobasidion parviporum, som orsakar rotröta. Utav de 32 granar som mäts i studien så var hälften (16) Inokulerade (I) med rotröta och resterande 16 använda som Kontroll (C). Två år efter inokuleringen flögs en drönare övBy using drone-sourced hyperspectral images this study aimed to separate Norway spruce (Picea abies (L.) H. Karst.) that were inoculated with a parasitic fungus Heterobasidion parviporum from trees which were not. The trees were classified into two classes, Inoculated (I) and Control (C), with a total of 32 trees in pairs (one C one I). The hyperspectral images collected over the stand of Norway s
This bachelor thesis investigated different alternatives for visualizing production data generated by Höganäs AB. The production data comes from several sources and appears in different formats, mainly as time-series data and event-driven data connected to lots. The data is also used by different user groups with different needs, which creates a need for visualizations adapted to both data type an
This study presents a comprehensive water balance analysis of an irrigation pond at Gårdstånga Nygård farm in southern Sweden, conducted over a 29-month period from June 2021 to October 2023. Utilizing continuous water level monitoring and regional meteorological observations, the research quantified key hydrological components including precipitation, catchment inflow, evapotranspiration, and ove
Pluvial översvämning, orsakad av nederbördsmängder som överstiger kapaciteten hos naturliga och artificiella dagvattensystem, förväntas öka i frekvens och magnitud som en följd av klimatförändringar, vilket i sin tur ökar översvämningsrisken i urbana miljöer vilka kännetecknas av stora andelar hårdgjorda ytor. Blågrön infrastruktur (BGI) har föreslagits som en strategi för översvämningshantering, Pluvial flooding, caused by precipitation intensities exceeding the capacity of natural and artificial drainage systems, is projected to increase in frequency and magnitude under climate change, thereby increasing flood risks in urban environments characterised by extensive impervious surfaces. Blue-Green Infrastructure (BGI) has been proposed as a flood mitigation strategy, as it supports natural

This thesis examines how Māori representatives used code-switching between te reo Māori and English during the Supreme Court hearing in Trans-Tasman Resources v Taranaki-Whanganui Conservation Board to challenge dominant legal epistemologies and advance Māori perspectives within legal discourse. Focusing on Māori opposition to a proposed seabed mining project in the South Taranaki Bight, the study
