Cobalamin/folate deficiency is common in elderly subjects and may lead to psychiatric symptoms, but even more often it increases the severity of other organic and non-organic mental diseases. This paper reviews the literature relevant for markers of cobalamin/folate status and their relation to neuropsychiatric symptoms in the elderly. Plasma homocysteine, a marker of cobalamin/folate status, is f
The Lund Concept is an approach to the treatment of severe brain trauma that is mainly based on hypotheses originating from basic physiological principles regarding brain volume and cerebral perfusion regulation. Its main attributes have found support in experimental and clinical studies. This review explains the principles of the Lund Concept and is intended to serve as the current guide for its
This study considers astrophysics, stellar and nebular astronomy in Sweden. Emphasis is on the role of scientific technologies and practice, and the emergence of a modern observational astronomy, supplanting classical astronomy as the most vital field of Swedish astronomy. The introduction of photography and spectroscopy is discussed, mainly focused on Nils Dunér. The mechanical nature of the pho
AimLasers and non-coherent intense pulse light sources (IPLS) are based on the principle of selective photothermolysis and can be used for the treatment of many vascular skin lesions. A variety of lasers has been developed for the treatment of congenital and acquired vascular lesions which incorporate these concepts into their design. Although laser and light sources are very popular due to their
The ecological debt concept emerged in the early 1990s from within social movements driven by rising environmental awareness, emerging Western consciousness of responsibility for past colonial subjugations, and a general sense of unease during the debt crisis. First developed organically, mainly in locally-scaled, civil contexts, ecological debt has since gained attention in academia and internati
We analysed migratory connectivity between different winter quarters and breeding sectors in the circumpolar tundra region for arctic shorebirds, in relation to migratory distances and ecological barriers. Total distances and barriers were calculated and measured for all potential migratory orthodrome links between 10 selected winter regions and 12 breeding sectors. The migratory segment between t
POU5F1 has two alternatively spliced transcripts: a long (variant 1, NM_002701) and a short (variant 2, NM_203289) transcript. Only variant 1 is a key regulator of pluripotency. Hence, it is important to be able to distinguish this transcript from variant 2 and from the many pseudogenes present in the genome. Previous studies on the expression of POU5F1 were, however, usually carried out without c
Investor sentiment is an important research object in behavioral finance, and its analysis has been one of the hot topics in stock market research recently. As an abstract concept, investor sentiment needs to be visualized by the construction of the investor sentiment index. In 2006, Baker and Wurgler proposed the Baker & Wurgler (BW) index, which can reflect investor sentiment in the American

Syftet med den här uppsatsen är att urskilja ett federalistiskt mönster inom EU:s makroekonomiska styrning och att söka förklaringar till förstärkningen av det rättsliga ramverket i detta avseende. Uppsatsen verkar i ett konstitutionellt perspektiv och antar ett multidimensionellt tillvägagångssätt för att uppfylla uppsatsens syfte. Gemensamt för dessa tillvägagångssätt är att de förhåller sig tilThe purpose of the thesis is to discern the pattern of federalism in EU macroeconomic governance and seek explanations for the strengthening of the framework in this regard. The thesis operates in a constitutional perspective, adopting a multidimensional approach in order to fulfil the purpose. These approaches have in common that they regard issues of legal power. By tackling the research questio
Storskaliga våldsamheter mot medlemmar av folkgruppen Rohingya i Myanmar har sedan augusti 2017 lett till över 10 000 människors död och tvingat nära en miljon människor att fly till grannlandet Bangladesh. Som respons på händelserna inledde Gambia i november 2019 förfaranden i Internationella domstolen (ICJ) mot Myanmar och några dagar senare auktoriserades Internationella brottmålsdomstolens (ICAtrocities against members of the Rohingya group in Myanmar have since August 2017 resulted in over 10 000 deaths and close to one million people being forced to flee into neighbouring Bangladesh. In response to these events, The Gambia instituted proceedings against Myanmar before the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in November 2019. A few days later, the Prosecutor of the International Crim
In recent years, the notion that Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) schemes enable corporations to assume a role of a development agent has been heavily contested in academia. Among CSR schemes are the International Finance Corporation’s (IFC) Performance Standards, which, regardless of their foundational role in shaping the paradigm of responsible business, are yet to be exposed to thorough ac
The aim of this thesis is to widen the understanding of the gender pay gap by introducing the factor of sexuality. Same-sex couples have legal rights that are relatively new; how does our understanding of labor division and pay change when more data on queer people emerge? This is achieved by using data from the German Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP) from the year 2017 and making multiple regressions,
This master thesis examines disabled residents’ roles as citizens in a place branding process within the political framework of a place. This is in line with the resident approach in a political context within the research field of place branding. My contribution to the resident approach is a case study in the municipality of Borås, where I study the organized work of accessibility between citizen
The purpose of this study was to gain a greater understanding on how healthcare workers, particularly caregivers of elderly and dementia patients, are impacted by a Mindfulness-based Stress Reduction (MBSR) training and to explore the reasons a manager has for incorporating these types of trainings. Within the scope of this qualitative study, we conducted semi-structured interviews with nine careg
This thesis explores the under-recognised yet symptomatic visual motif of two women, a recurring theme within a vast array of pictorial examples. Its primary objective is to construct a theoretical and methodological framework capable of comprehending the multiplicity of images in the form of an image collection: The Atlas of Two Women. This inquiry primarily draws on Walter Benjamin’s concept of
Several countries have created policy instruments seeking to direct research and innovation (R&I) toward addressing societal challenges. However, the design of such instruments might not always live up to their proclaimed transformative rationale. The aim of this paper is to examine empirically this matter. In a unique cross country comparison of four Grand Challenge-oriented R&I programs
This paper discusses the role of fundamental rights in the EU’s legislation on digitalisation, with a particular focus on the proposed Digital Services Act (DSA) and the Digital Markets Act (DMA). As the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights is receiving an increasingly prominent role in regulating the digital sphere in order to rectify the increasing challenges of a ‘wild West’ internet, the constitut
