Objective. To determine the short-term outcome of neuropsychiatric (NP) events upon enrollment into an international inception cohort of patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Methods. The study was performed by the Systemic Lupus International Collaborating Clinics. Patients were enrolled within 15 months of SLE diagnosis and NP events were characterized using the American College of R
Aim: The study investigated clinical and social changes during an 18-month follow-up period in a group (n = 76) of schizophrenic outpatients admitted to a newly implemented outpatient psychosis team. Changes related to level of contact with the psychosis team were also examined as well as aspects of the content of the treatment interventions and work situation from a staff perspective. Methods: St
In 1997, a temporally shifted population of Thaumetopoea pilyocampa (Den. & Schiff.), was recorded for the first time in a restricted area of the oldest National Pine Forest of Portugal-the National Pine Forest of Leiria. This new population larval development takes place during the summer (summer population-SP), while in the normal population it takes place during the winter (winter populatio
Popular Abstract in English Nowadays, the majority of energy production comes from combustion which is universally linked to daily human activities. Public awakening of the environmental effects of combustion pollution evokes extensive research activities in improving combustion efficiency and reducing pollutant production. Development of combustion processes also includes the use of renewable bioThe work presented in the thesis concerns the developments of laser-based diagnostics and its application to the study of turbulent premixed combustion. The diagnostic developments, mainly concerned with planar laser-induced fluorescence (PLIF), are intended to provide instantaneous visualization of the key species originating from the combustion processes involved in the burning of hydrocarbons
An energy system that relies on fossil fuel is not sustainable. Emissions, such as carbon dioxide, nitric oxide and corpuscles, affect the climate and pollute the air. Furthermore, the supply of oil, coal and natural gas is located a few places worldwide, which can give provide incentive to geopolitical conflicts for access to these areas. This is not a local issue for Tjörn, nor even a national i
Conventional power plants based on fossil fuel without CO2 capture produce flue gas streams with concentrations Of CO2 between 3% and 15%, contributing to the threat of increasing global warming. Existing capture technologies such as post-combustion flue gas treatment using chemical absorption or pre-combustion carbon removal suffer from significant efficiency penalties as well as major increase i
An open European market for goods and services, including transport services, stimulates trade, global competitiveness and economic growth. At the same time, concerns about domestic job security, regulation compliance and the environment have sparked a debate. This report should be considered one of the first modest contributions to the mainly unexplored area of European freight deregulation. Our
Amyloid β-protein (Aβ) sequence length variants with varying aggregation propensity coexist in vivo, where coaggregation and cross-catalysis phenomena may affect the aggregation process. Until recently, naturally occurring amyloid β-protein (Aβ) variants were believed to begin at or after the canonical β-secretase cleavage site within the amyloid β-protein precursor. However, N-terminally extended
Food waste could cause problems in society, the economy, and the environment, which is regarded as a global problem. In advanced countries, the majority of food waste happens in the retailer-consumer interface. Commercial digital food sharing platforms (CDFSPs) as a part of sharing economy could help save food from ending up in the bins in the business-to-consumer (B2C) context. This thesis focuse
Title: Activating a Brands Track Record using Retro Branding; Looking to the Past to Shape the Future. Date of Seminar: 2019-06-03 Course: BUSN39 Degree Project in Global Marketing Authors: Malte Bäck & Niklas Heed Supervisor: Mats Urde Keywords: Retro Branding, Retro Brand, Brand Track Record, Strategic Brand Management Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to explore the phenomenon of re
Due to the world’s growing population and an increase in food demand, new innovative food products need to be developed to maximize the use of limited farmland. Because of global warming and the fact that plant based products generate less greenhouse gases than meat based products, research should focus on new plant-based protein sources. Rapeseed press cake is a residue from rapeseed oil producti
Car sharing (CS) is a growing phenomenon globally but its environmental implications are not yet fully explored. While many researchers agree that it could have multiple direct environmental benefits, indirect effects like carbon emissions induced through changed consumption patterns have been poorly explored. This thesis aims to quantify and compare consumption induced carbon emissions (CCE) of C
Distribution patterns of resources and their role in determining species distribution are not only fundamental to the understanding of ecological patterns, but also of practical significance in conservation management. Shorebirds are experiencing precipitous declines globally, especially along the East Asian-Australasian Flyway (EAAF), where the major threats include the loss and degradation of ti
As a country with a high proportion of population and land area in the world, China is in a stage of changing its economic development direction, from the previous extensive economic growth to the intensive economic growth. At the same time, due to the limited total amount of resources and limited environmental bearing capacity on the earth, certain constraints are found in terms of amount and str
Climate change and its environmental consequences is a pressing global challenge, with the construction industry being a major contributor to carbon dioxide emissions. This has led to an increased interest in biobased insulation materials, such as hemp fiber and wood fiber, which offer more sustainable alternatives. However, questions arise regarding their fire performance, particularly when repl
The price relationship between DDR5 DRAM and NAND flash memory is examined over the period October 2023 to May 2026, covering a period of profound structural disruption in the global semiconductor memory market. The central question is whether a co-movement relationship exists between the two price series and whether it is better characterised as regime-dependent rather than stable over time. The
Global plastic waste production has more than doubled in the past two decades, with plastic packaging accounting for 40% in 2019. Due to low recycling rates, pollution and limited fossil resources, increasing circularity in the plastic industry has become increasingly important. Chemical recycling through pyrolysis, unlike mechanical recycling, can treat contaminated, mixed plastic waste and incre
