Bouts of excessive worry are common across the lifespan, increasing in frequency and complexity during adolescence and adulthood, and are found in several psychiatric disorders, particularly the anxiety disorders. There are evidence-based treatments for adolescents with anxiety disorders but psychological treatments designed specifically to target excessive worrying in adolescents are rare. Intole
Introduction: About 70 million people worldwide are estimated to suffer from epilepsy. Despite a large variety of old and new antiepileptic drugs on the market, about 30% of people with epilepsy do not become seizure-free with medical treatment. This is a major individual and public health burden. Most of these difficult-to-treat patients are having focal seizures. Zonisamide is effective against
The diagnosis of Parkinsonian disorders is currently based on clinical criteria, which have limited sensitivity until most dopaminergic neurons are lost. Here we show that cerebrospinal fluid levels of DOPA decarboxylase (DDC) (also known as aromatic L-amino acid decarboxylase) can accurately identify patients with Lewy body disease (LBD) (area under the curve (AUC) = 0.89; PFDR = 2.6 × 10-13) and
The suitability of Hansen solubility parameters as descriptors for modelling analyte retention during reversed-phase chromatographic experiments was investigated. A novel theoretical model using Hansen solubility parameters as the basis for a complete mathematical derivation of the model was developed. The theoretical model also includes the cavitation volumes of the analytes, which were calculate
The human brain can be described as a complex network of functional connections between distinct regions, referred to as the brain functional network. Recent studies show that the functional network is a dynamic process and its community structure evolves with time during continuous task performance. Consequently, it is important for the understanding of the human brain to develop dynamic communit
We have designed a [Fe(SH)4H]− model with the fifth proton binding either to Fe or S. We show that the energy difference between these two isomers (∆E) is hard to estimate with quantum-mechanical (QM) methods. For example, different density functional theory (DFT) methods give ∆E estimates that vary by almost 140 kJ/mol, mainly depending on the amount of exact Hartree–Fock included (0%–54%). The m
PurposeTo ultimately make accurate and precise fetal noninvasive oxygen saturation (sO2) measurements by T2-prepared bSSFP more widely available by systematically assessing error sources in order to potentially reduce perinatal mortality in cardiovascular malformations and fetal growth restriction.MethodsT2-prepared bSSFP data were acquired in phantoms; in flowing blood in adults in the superior s
Place-based innovation policy for sustainability is essential for the delivery of the European Green Deal. In the current twin green and digital transition, deep societal transformations and new innovative solutions emerge in concrete territories. In this anthology, leading scholars reflect on the conditions for place-based innovation for sustainability and its consequences for directionality, str
In writing this study, I wanted to examine which principles of organization that are possible for Swedish public libraries to use, and what these principles mean for the libraries customerorientation. This is done by examining a number of written sources, as well as studying the organization of six public libraries. I found several possible principles, but a number of principles have been more com
By using data from Ecovision on the DJ AIG commodity index made up of commodity futures and the OMX index consisting of Swedish equities I have estimated the correlation between Swedish equities and US commodity futures. The correlation has been examined in a multivariate GARCH setting by using the BEKK model. The purpose has been to examine if commodity futures from a US exchange market can impro
Handen har en central roll i människans sociala liv. Förlust av en hand eller delar av en hand kan medföra en helt ny livssituation, inte minst i arbetslivet. I Sverige beräknas cirka 50 personer per år drabbas av större handskador. Det är dessa stora handskador som orsakar mest bekymmer för individen och som kan omöjliggöra en återgång till ett tidigare arbete. Patientens upplevelse av denna nya
Vi lever idag i vad som enkelt kan liknas vid ett uppkopplat copycat samhälle. Aldrig förut har saker varit så tillgängliga för oss och aldrig förut har saker blivit kopierade i den takt de blir idag. Ordet copy har blivit ersatt av ordet dupe och kopiorna framstår ha kommit in i finrummet. Fast Fashion företag som Zara, Primark och H&M kopierar de stora modehusen såväl som mindre designers. SToday’s society can easily be described as a connected copy-cat society. Never before have things been as accessible as they are today and never before have things been copied at the pace they are being copied today. The word copy have been replaced by the word dupe and dupes as such appears to have become a widely accepted phenomena within the fashion industry. Fast-fashion companies like Zara, P
This thesis investigates the volatility structures found in forward-looking fundamental valuations of the Swedish stock index OMXS30. The evaluated data constitutes daily observations of P/E ratios based on twelve months earnings estimates during the period 2009-01-02 until 2018-10-18. The analysis is conducted by applying a GARCH modelling framework to a log-return transformed return series deriv
Följande studie syftade till att undersöka om det finns en skillnad inom psykologisk empowerment mellan olika yrkesgrupper på ett internationellt bilföretag, som i denna studie refererades till som Bilföretaget AB. Studien utredde hur de potentiella skillnaderna såg ut och kunde förstås. Genom en blandad metod bestående av enkätundersökning och semistrukturerade intervjuer framkom vissa signifikanThe following study aimed to examine the potential difference within psychological empowerment between occupational groups at an international car company, in this study referred to as Bilföretaget AB. The study investigated potential differences between the groups and how these variances could be understood, by using a mixed methods research design including survey and semistructured interviews.
Att biodiversiteten minskar både regionalt och lokalt är en av vår tids största utmaningar. För att kunna bedriva ett framgångsrikt bevarandearbete i Europa genomförs så kallad biogeografisk uppföljning vars syfte är att övervaka och kartlägga utpekade arters utbredningsområde och populationsstorlek. För detta ändamål är det viktigt med pålitliga standardiserade metoder som är kostnadseffektiva me
Growing amounts of waste generation in remote areas without proper waste management systems is a problem to human health and the environment. The Amazon holds the biggest freshwater resources in the world, is a biodiversity hotspot and its communities are placed in distances that can take days by boat to be reached. A National policy with EPR instruments requires private companies to take-back pac
Geographical Information Systems (GISs) have shown to be of great help in the work at contaminated sites. Today there is an increase in the development of 3D modeling in many fields. However, to combine the advantage working with spatial data in a GIS and 3D modeling for subsurface soil data is limited. In this study, the possibilities of interpolating volumes of soil contamination in 3D were inve
