The purpose of this study is to explore how adolescents in self-contained classrooms or schools for students with autism or ADHD, with no prior involvement in criminality, perceive and interpret different forms of early offending behavior through fictional case stories. The study specifically aims to examine their ability to discern what constitutes offending behavior, based on the double empathy

Objectives: – To quantify the risk of incident psychiatric morbidity after community-acquired sepsis and assess whether new chronic diseases mediate the association. Design: – Nationwide, population-based matched register cohort; hazards estimated with weighted Cox regression. Setting: – Sweden, linking the National Quality Sepsis Registry, National Patient Register, Prescribed Drug Register, and

Quantification using the Centiloid (CL) scale has become a valuable information to consider when interpreting amyloid-PET images and is now implemented in several software packages. This work aims to assess the comparability of CL from [18F]flutemetamol scans derived using several research and commercial quantification pipelines. Methods: This analysis relies on three datasets: a test-retest cohor

This study investigates the impact of a 10-week Arts on Prescription (AoP) program in Denmark designed for young adults aged 18–30 who were disengaged from education and unemployed. Eighteen participants took part in four semi-structured focus group interviews, and four completed a survey; most reported experiences of anxiety, depression, and stress, with some describing chronic pain, ADHD, or aut

I det här examensarbetet undersöker jag likheter och skillnader mellan arkitektrollen och scenografrollen. Arbetet tar avstamp i teori, och övergår sedan i ett gestaltningsförslag av scenografi till musikalen "Vakna!".

Interactions between amyloidogenic proteins are emerging as critical drivers of neurodegenerative diseases. Among others, in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and severe forms of chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), codeposition of tau and amyloid-β (Aβ) leads to worsening of clinical outcomes and disease progression. Despite the importance of such heterotypic interactions, the underlying molecular mech

Our project explores sensory-driven research methodologies that fuel a creativeprocess for the design of a forest landscape. We ask the question, how can landscape design research be advanced and enriched through the integration of sonic and kinesthetic methodologies? As a collaboration between a landscape designer, movement analyst and sound artist, we are working with a group of graduate student

Seagrass meadows are recognized for their coastal protection services in terms of reducing the wave runup level and limiting coastal erosion. This study aims to quantify these services for a dense seagrass meadow located in a non-tidal, fetch-limited sea. A year-long field campaign was conducted to collect data on wave statistics along the cross-shore direction of the seagrass meadow, bathymetry,

Human calcitonin (hCT) is a peptide hormone with therapeutic potential for bone-related disorders, yet its clinical application is hindered by a strong propensity to form amyloid fibrils. Strategies that effectively suppress hCT aggregation are therefore essential for enabling its reintroduction into pharmaceutical development. In our previous work, heme emerged as a potent inhibitor of hCT fibril

We present the structural and functional characterization of a single-stranded DNA-binding protein (SSB-M5) identified from a hot spring metagenome in Vatnajökull National Park, Iceland. This small protein (136 aa; 15,695 Da) shares 100% amino acid sequence identity with two previously uncharacterized SSBs from hyperthermophilic Fervidobacterium species. Functional complementation assay demonstrat

Since the 1980s, financial deregulation and welfare cuts have driven an economic risk shift, requiring individuals to take greater financial responsibility through private savings in stocks and mutual funds. An unexplored aspect of this “financialization of everyday life” is the personal finance advice provided by experts employed by banks and other market-oriented actors. This study examines fina

Both high-mountain rivers and wet-based mountain glaciers are considered effective erosion agents. They acted alternatively or simultaneously during the late Quaternary in the Tatra Mountains (West Carpathians) thus producing a vast amount of clastic material that was subject to deposition, reworking and transportation downstream. A small fraction of that amount of the material is still preserved

Background Drug use disorder (DUD) clusters in families due partly to shared environment, including sibling influences. Low academic achievement (AA) in adolescence increases DUD risk. This study examined whether low AA in an older sibling causally increases DUD risk in younger siblings. Methods We studied all Swedish full sibling pairs (n = 309,666) born 1972–1985 and ≤ 5 years apart. Older sibli

Background: Fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) is the preferred first-line diagnostic tool for evaluating lymphadenopathy due to its minimally invasive nature and cost-effectiveness. However, cytopathological interpretation of lymph node FNAB remains challenging because of the wide morphological spectrum of lymphoid lesions. The World Health Organization (WHO) Reporting System for Lymph Nodes, S

Dissolved organic carbon (DOC) plays an essential role in the biogeochemistry and ecology of surface waters by influencing carbon cycle and microbial respiration. DOC is related to CO2 emissions from inland waters that can be compared to emissions of peatlands and DOC decay is influenced by environmental factors. Traditional methods used to measure DOC decay do not account for environmental factor

I detta examensarbete studeras en geometrisk slumpgraf på en diskret cirkel, där två punkter kopplas samman slumpmässigt med en sannolikhet som avtar med avståndet mellan dem. Modellen är intressant eftersom samspelet mellan slump och geometri kan ge upphov till strukturer som skiljer sig från dem i mer klassiska slumpgrafer. Arbetet fokuserar på cykler av given längd, det vill säga slutna slingorThis thesis studies a geometric random graph model on the discrete circle Z/N Z, in which an edge between distinct vertices u and v is present independently with probability p(u, v) = min{cN^{-(1-α)}ρ(u, v)^{-α},1}, 0 < α < 1, where ρ(u, v) is the graph distance. The main focus is on the number of cycles of a fixed length, which provides a natural measure of the deviation from a tree-like structur
