Introduction: Swimming ability provides many known benefits while a lack of ability can result in dire consequences including death. Swimming and water safety are taught in the Swedish school system and increase the likelihood of being able to save oneself and other. Immigrants miss some or all these lessons – a safety concern in addition to a social and integration challenge. The Swedish Lifesavi

Sammanfattning Överlåtelser av företag är betydelsefulla affärshändelser med förhandlingar i flera omgångar. När inget annat är avtalat tillämpas köplagen som föreskriver en plikt för köparen att undersöka målbolaget, annars riskeras rätten att kunna åberopa fel gå förlorad. Felbedömningen tar utgångspunkt i köparens befogade förväntningar på målbolaget och som fel får inte åberopas vad som borde

Popular Abstract in Swedish Bröstcancer är den vanligaste dödsorsaken bland cancersjuka kvinnor. Därför rekommenderas regelbundna mammografiska hälsokontroller för tidig diagnostik och snar behandling för att förbättra prognosen. I Sverige rekommenderas kontroller för kvinnor mellan 40-74 år. Mammografiska hälsokontroller medför dock även risker, såsom till exempel behov av kompletterande bröstundOne side-effect of breast cancer (BC) screening is a false-positive mammogram among healthy women. That is, finding(s) on a screening mammogram that lead to additional breast examinations but where the woman is eventually considered free from BC. There is evidence of short-term psychosocial consequences of false-positive BC screening. Regarding long-term consequences, research findings are inconsi

The thesis examines a specific way of understanding the subjectivist position in value theory according to which subjectivism is the view that value is grounded on attitudes. It is argued that this should be seen as a second-order claim about the nature of value although with pluralistic implications on the substantial, first-order level. Subjectivist analyses of final and intrinsic value and of r

Background & Objective: Patients with mild hypothyroidism often are depressed and have impaired quality of life despite serum free-T4 and T3 within reference values. Therefore, we investigated whether their symptoms were dependent on the concentrations of free -T4 and T3 in the circulation and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Methods: Twenty-five newly diagnosed, untreated hypothyroid subjects and a

The behavior of animals is commonly studied in medicine and biology. There is a large variation in what animals are studied, in experimental paradigms and purpose.However, many studies on animal behavior have at least one thing in common - it typically involves measuring or studying the kinematics of the animal. To allow for verifiable and quantitative behavioral analysis, the experiments are reco

This thesis covers three contributions in applications of neural networks. The first is related to diversity and ensemble learning, while the other two cover novel applications of the self-attention mechanism. An important aspect of training a neural network is the choice of objective function. Regression via Classification (RvC) is often used to tackle problems in deep learning where the target v

Background Circadian rhythms regulate immune cell trafficking and function, and emerging clinical data suggest that the timing of immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) administration may influence efficacy. In advanced disease, later-day administration has been associated with inferior outcomes. Whether this applies to neoadjuvant ICI in resectable stage III–IV melanoma is unknown. Methods This retros

This thesis analyses the impact of EU citizenship on EU citizens studying in another EU Member State, Lund, Sweden in order to find out whether there is an ‘added value’ for EU citizens when exercising their rights as EU citizens. In the first part, a short introduction to the background of EU citizenship, the rights it grants and student mobility in the EU is presented. The second part illustrate
