Background: Reliable, valid, and easy-to-administer instruments to identify possible caseness and to provide proxies for clinical diagnoses are needed in epidemiological research on child and adolescent mental health. The aim of this study is to provide further validity data for a parent telephone interview focused on Autism - Tics, Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (AD/HD), and other Comor

Over-the-air multi-probe setups provide an efficient way to characterize the performance of today’s advanced wireless communication systems. In this paper the measurement uncertainty of such a setup using a car as a test object is characterized through three experiments: measurement system analysis, channel sounder measurements, and probe coupling measurements. Four issues were in focus for the an

Popular Abstract in Swedish Stroke, eller slaganfall, är en sammanfattande benämning på sjukdomar som drabbar blodförsörjningen i hjärnan. Varje år insjuknar cirka 30000 personer i Sverige i stroke, av dessa drabbas cirka 15% av blödningar medan resterande 85% får infarkter, dvs blodpropp i hjärnan. Stroke upptar fler vårddagar i slutenvården än någon annan somatisk sjukdom. Medianåldern för insjuBackground Stroke is a serious vascular disorder that comprises intracerebral hemorrhages, subarachnoid hemorrhages and ischemic stroke (IS). The etiology of stroke, including hereditary components induced by cellular mechanisms, is therefore a research field of vital importance. The aim of this thesis was to assess possible genetic impact on stroke risk. We thus evaluated family history of strok

Human development index (HDI) is a summary measure used around the world that indicates whether a country is developed, still developing, or undeveloped. HDI incorporates the main factors of human life such as health, education and income. Deprivation in these areas of human life is measured by calculating human poverty index (HPI). The purpose of this thesis is to find the human development index

This thesis undertakes the Causality study with application to exchange rates for Swedish kronor (SEK) with GB pound (£) and US dollar ($) in the frame work of vector Autoregressive (VAR) model. We present the theory behind the Granger Causality, unit roots and vector auto-regression. The Augmented Dickey-Fuller test for unit roots is performed. Our data consist of three time series of daily forei

The study aims to explore the increasingly relevant and theoretically underexplored field of ridesharing as a solution for first and last-mile transportation, its success factors and challenges, as well as the process of integrating ridesharing into a public transport network. It utilizes a business model innovation framework as the theoretical basis to explore success factors as well as challenge

Blockchain technology has in recent years gained significant momentum in a wide variety of industries. However, in the context of SMEs the IS body of research is lacking, both in terms of why SMEs should consider this new technology and the factors that affect a potential adop-tion. To explore this research gap, the authors derived a conceptual framework from the exist-ing literature along with el

This thesis examines the extent to which the French and Swiss models of corporate criminal liability may inform the development of proposals to extend the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court (ICC) to encompass legal persons. The study employs a combination of doctrinal and comparative legal methodology, with particular emphasis on the legal models through which criminal liability may

This thesis examines the development Forest Green Rovers has undergone since their current owner and Chairman joined the club. With a clear vision and agenda, the aim was to over time transform the club into something greater than just sporting achievements. For nearly fifteen years, the club's management has been dedicated to embedding sustainability in all aspects of the club's operation

To promote sustainable manufacturing and lower industrial emissions, GE HealthCare is constantly assessing new approaches to improve their production processes. As a global manufacturer of contrast media, their potential for positive societal impact is significant. In addition to sustainability, a pharmaceutical production process is required to deliver products of high purity. This means that the

Next-generation sequencing (NGS) has transformed the study of antibody repertoires by enabling high-throughput, in-depth analysis of immune diversity and antigen-driven selection. When paired with in vitro display technologies, NGS offers unparalleled resolution in characterizing antibody libraries, but also presents substantial computational challenges due to the highly variable nature of antibod

The Million Homes Programme, launched in Sweden during the 1960s, resulted in the construction of over one million homes to address a national housing shortage. A majority of the houses consist of linear block buildings, many of which now require renovation. Moreover, climate change and increasing energy demands have put pressure on the building sector to reduce emissions and improve energy perfor

Fire safety design for complex buildings often relies on the Performance-based Design approach which assesses the margin of safety by comparing Available Safe Egress Time with Required Safe Egress Time. However, most current modelling tools often operate independently or at most with one-way coupling. This potentially reduces the accuracy of fire safety assessments by failing to capture dynamic in

This thesis was developed in partnership with SCM Group, a leading Italian manufacturer of material-cutting machinery operating an extensive international network of production sites and clients. Because of the magnitude of its operations, SCM’s technical support teams manage a large volume of support tickets-records submitted by clients on a daily bases: structured reports documenting machine fai

Metasurfaces are two-dimensional arrays of sub-wavelength structures often arranged in a periodic lattice. During recent years, metasurfaces have emerged as one of the most promising platforms to shape electromagnetic waves using compact devices, exhibiting extraordinary control over the light amplitude, polarization and phase. Starting with metallic materials, metasurface research has shifted tow

The rapid expansion of the plant-based beverage sector has increased the demand for high-performance, barista-grade oat drinks that are capable of withstanding the thermal and acidic stresses of coffee applications. This master’s thesis, conducted in collaboration with Cerealiq AB, evaluates the efficacy of six specific enzymatic treatments in modifying the structural and physical properties of oa

Peptide therapeutics offer advantages in specificity and affinity, yet the potential propensity to self-associate and aggregate poses a challenge for the development of stable oral formulations. This master’s thesis evaluates the utility of the fluorescent dye Thioflavin T as a structural probe to monitor the aggregation of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists, specifically Liraglutide and Se
