Central parts of the debate between theories of consciousness concern the proposed mechanism rendering a previously unconscious state X conscious. Here, I introduce a question that comes immediately before, namely why it is X-rather than some other unconscious state Y-that gets to enter the mechanism and become conscious. This is the selection problem: accounting for the mechanism that selects whi
Purpose: The aim of this exploratory study was to investigate different aspects of attitudes to intimate partner violence against women (IPVAW) among university students in Sweden, and whether those attitudes are related to students´ willingness to intervene in cases of IPVAW. Gender differences related to IPVAW attitudes and willingness to intervene were examined. Methods: The study was based on
Introduction – Adolescent depression poses a major public health concern with substantial clinical and societal implications. Both internet-delivered cognitive behavioural therapy (ICBT) and internet-delivered psychodynamic therapy (IPDT) have shown efficacy, but questions remain regarding long-term efficacy and cost-effectiveness. The present study presents a 12-month follow-up and cost-compariso
The development of new radar systems operating at sub-THz and THz frequencies with high-resolution imaging has led to new applications and enabled remote sensing for shortrange applications, such as non-destructive testing or surfaceroughness analysis. Furthermore, these remote-sensing systems open an opportunity to study downscaled real-life scenarios that involve long-range remote sensing in a c
Introduction Tattooing is common in many populations, yet population-based data on side effects remain limited. We aimed to describe the occurrence of self-reported acute- and delayed-onset side effects following tattooing and investigate individual and tattoo-related determinants in a Swedish population.Methods The Swedish Tattoo and Body Modifications Cohort includes 13 049 participants, of whom
Focus herein is on hydrogenous gases interacting with porous-carbon materials on activated biochar at pressures ranging from 0 to 100 bar and temperatures from room (ambient) to cryogenic. Neutron radiography was conducted using a custom-made cell system to simultaneously image pure gas and gas interacting with the porous carbon. From neutron attenuation, the cross sections of methane and ethane a
Purpose: Across many countries, primary care is under growing strain. Primary care clinicians face increasing workloads, costs are rising, and ageing populations are driving up demand for care. In this context, corporate actors with a for-profit objective are spotting opportunities to enter the “healthcare market,” bringing new forms of organisation and delivery into primary care. This process of
Vaccine candidates are typically identified through characterization of microbial surface antigens expressed under laboratory conditions. Here, we studied the major human pathogen Streptococcus pyogenes and showed that Slr, a lipoprotein encoded by all strains, is not detected on the bacterial surface during growth in broth but nevertheless is targeted by protective antibodies in vivo, as demonstr
International law provides for the autonomy of the Åland Islands. The source of this law (“the Åland Islands Autonomy Regime”) is far from clear and much debated. A literature survey furnishes five possibilities. Thus, the Regime may have been created: (i) by the conclusion of a bilateral agreement; (ii) by unilateral declaration; (iii) by the conclusion of a bilateral agreement and the tacit acce
Objective: To describe the epidemiology, organ involvement, histopathological patterns, and clinical management of immunoglobulin G4-related disease (IgG4-RD) in Stockholm County, Sweden. Method: Patients with an International Classification of Diseases, 10th revision, Swedish Edition (ICD-10-SE) diagnosis of IgG4-RD recorded between 2019 and 2023 were identified from the Swedish National Patient
Purpose: To comparatively map primary health care (PHC) nurses’ roles across European countries (including Austria, Denmark, Estonia, Norway, Portugal, Slovenia, Sweden) identify convergences and divergences in scope of practice, education, roles, and regulation, and explore advanced practice and care navigation functions. The workshop engages participants to discuss experiential, organizational,
Indoor cycling is a popular form of exercise, and adequate cooling has been shown to improve both comfort and performance during training. SensoryWind has developed a portable fan intended for use on spin bikes, but a suitable mounting solution for integrating the fan with the bike had not previously been developed. The aim of this thesis was therefore to develop a concept for a mounting solution
In this work, the steps to the development of a relativistic Atomic Natural Orbital (ANO) basis set are shown and a part of a new ANO basis set for thorium is presented as continuation to the ANO-R series. This basis set is an all-electron relativistic basis set constructed to yield faster yet accurate calculations. It features modelling by Gaussian-type functions as well as the Exact Two-Componen
Den ökande andelen intermittenta förnybara energikällor, i kombination med en växande efterfrågan på el, ökar värdet av flexibla lösningar på efterfrågesidan som kan flytta elanvändning från perioder med hög belastning. Elektriska varmvattenberedare erbjuder sådan flexibilitet genom att använda varmvattentanken som termisk energi- lagring. Denna studie utvärderar potentialen hos timerstyrda varmvaThe increasing share of intermittent renewable energy sources, combined with growing electricity demand, increases the value of flexible demand-side solutions that can shift electricity consumption away from peak periods. Domestic electric water heaters offer such flexibility by using the hot water tank as thermal energy storage. This study evaluates the potential of timer-controlled domestic elec
The present comparative cognition study investigated decision making under uncertainty by examining dogs’ choice behaviour in response to different types of information. Specifically, the study examined how incoming informational cues that either confirmed or conflicted with the initial cue influenced subsequent choice behaviour. The final sample consisted of 50 dogs (28 females, 22 males) between
Online fashion retail provides consumers with greater convenience and access to clothing, but the absence of physical try-on can make clothing-size decisions difficult. Digital measurement tools have been developed to provide consumers with body measurement information and support these decisions. However, receiving measurement-based information does not necessarily mean that users can easily inte
Clinical protein profiles are an important diagnostic tool used to find so-called M-components, a key indicator in the diagnosis of multiple myeloma. In this thesis, di!erent methods to automatically detect M-components and provide a qualitative interpretation of the protein profile are explored. The dataset used to train and test models consists of approximately 172,500 samples from 77,772 patien
Assuming knowledge in elementary complex analysis, the aim of this thesis is to introduce C_0-(semi)groups. In particular, we will present Stone’s theorem for the generator of a C_0-group of unitary operators, as well as the celebrated Hille-Yosida theorem. As an application of the former, we turn our attention to spectral theory; we get a version of the spectral mapping theorem for some operator
Two eye-tracking experiments examined whether a spatial direction generated internally from a nonspatial cue was systematically associated with oculomotor behaviour during the imagery period and subsequent target-directed orienting. In Experiment 1, participants generated the leftward or rightward gaze of a learned human face. Gaze position was systematically displaced towards the imagined directi
