This study aimed to examine how counsellors’ work is constructed within adult outpatient psychiatry from the perspective of counsellors, and how organisational and professional factors shape the construction. This was a qualitative study conducted through ten semistructured interviews with counsellors working in adult outpatient psychiatry at different clinics within Region Skåne. Theories concern
Datacenter utgör en central del av den digitala infrastrukturen, och efterfrågan på datacenterkapacitet ökar snabbt i takt med digitalisering, AI-utveckling och framväxten av det smarta samhället. Samtidigt står datacenterbranschen inför betydande utmaningar kopplade till ett energisystem under omställning samt en tilltagande geopolitisk osäkerhet som aktualiserat frågor om digital suveränitet och
The purpose of this thesis is to examine the extend of cybersecurity obligations imposed on healthcare providers under EU law. To achieve this, the research questions focus on selected parts of the NIS 2 Directive and the Cybersecurity Act. Particular attention is afforded cybersecurity risk-management measures required under Article 21 of the NIS 2 Directive, as well as the role of certification
Thioflavin T (ThT) is widely used as a fluorescent probe for amyloid fibrils, yet its fluorescence can also be enhanced in non-fibrillar systems. Here, the photophysical behaviour of ThT was investigated in sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), sucrose laurate (SL), sodium caprate (C10), and lanreotide-containing assemblies across acetate (pH 4.0), phosphate (pH 7.4), and Gly-Gly (pH 8.5) buffers using UV
This thesis analyses how welfare, entitlement and welfare subjects are discursively constructed in the policy process surrounding the proposed qualification requirements for social insurance benefits and financial assistance, as part of the Swedish social benefit reform, ‘bidragsreformen’. Drawing on Norman Fairclough’s three-dimensional model of discourse analysis, the study examines the governme
This study examines how organizational communication during an acquisition shapes the involuntary job-loss experience of redundant employees. Through a qualitative case study of Omega's acquisition of Sigma, drawing on semi-structured interviews with seven former employees, the study applies psychological contract theory and sensemaking to analyze how communication before, during, and at the m
Background: Ventricular fibrillation (VF) during acute ischemia is linked to increased dispersion of ventricular repolarization (DOR), which is considered a robust marker of arrhythmic susceptibility. In previous works, we showed that a time-warping-based index quantifying morphological changes from the T-wave peak to the T-wave end over a PCA transform lead, dPCAw,Tpe, outperformed the T-peak-to-
Background: Developing new diagnostic imaging methods that provide detailed visualization of the histoanatomy of tissues and organs requires precise histomorphometric evaluation. With a particular focus on bowel, this study aimed to develop and validate a computer program for reliable and efficient assessment of bowel wall histomorphometry. Methods: A MATLAB-based computer program was developed in
Background: Local networks have been recognized for their potential to govern collaborative action toward a low-carbon future in urban areas, yet there is a need to learn more about the strengths and weaknesses of such governance structures. In this paper we assess the Local Roadmap for a Climate Neutral Building & Construction Industry in Malmö 2030 (LFM30) network which was initiated in 2018
Shifting everyday consumption from linear to circular is a key sustainability challenge, and interventions targeting households and consumers are increasingly promoted as a means to support this transition. However, much remains unclear about the theoretical assumptions that underpin such interventions and how these shape their design and outcomes. This article presents a systematic literature rev
Unitization, that is, the encoding of an association as one integrated entity, has been shown to improve associative memory in populations presenting with associative memory deficit due to hippocampal dysfunction, such as amnesic patients with focal hippocampal lesions and healthy older adults. One reason for this benefit is that encoding of unitized associations would rely on the perirhinal corte
We determined the risk of late morbidity and mortality after autologous blood or marrow transplantation (BMT) for lymphoma performed before age 40. The cohort included autologous BMT recipients who had survived ≥2 years after transplantation (N = 583 [HL = 59.9%; NHL = 40.1%]) and a comparison cohort (N = 1070). Participants self-reported sociodemographics and chronic health conditions. A severity
This paper investigates and discusses four instruments found in a sixteenth century Spanish book of navigation. The night clock is a rather standard application of similar instruments known since the fourteenth century in Europe. Cortés’ explanation of the causes of the deviation of the magnetic and geographical north is quite original. His instrument to correct for that the Polaris deviates from
Since 1958, cell culture media supplemented with fetal bovine serum is used, despite the well-known concerns about animal welfare, reproducibility, reliability, relevance, and safety. To obliterate these concerns and increase scientific accuracy, we recently published an open access, publicly available paper on a defined medium composition to make it possible for any lab to prepare this medium. Th
The United Nations (UN) Intergovernmental Negotiating Committee (INC) has completed its second round of negotiations on a new international legally binding instrument to ‘end plastic pollution’. This paper examines the results of the second session of negotiations, which took place May 29–June 2, 2023, and analyses the trends, barriers, and themes shaping the emerging legally binding instrument. T
Finding reliable photocatalysts capable of driving reactions using only sunlight is more needed than ever. A variety of strategies to harvest sunlight and convert it into chemical energy have been successfully utilized such as synthesizing nanostructures, using metal nanoparticles, doping, and others. In this work, we discover a facile way to anchor CuS nanoplatelets on 2D MoS2 by the solvothermal
Background: Continuous advancements in interventional and diagnostic radiological techniques are mandatory to meet the increasing demands of patients and health care professionals. This thesis aims to contribute to the development of more effective interventional and diagnostic radiological methods for pelvic diseases. Ultimately, these advancements can lead to improved patient outcomes, optimised
The minority stress model has become a well-used framework to explain and analyse health among LGBTQ people, and specifically among transgender and gender-diverse people (TGD), when it is sometimes called ‘the gender minority stress model’. Scholars have argued the need for critical discussions about some of the assumptions underlying the gender minority stress model and how it has been used and d
Background: To avoid causing a thromboembolic event in patients undergoing catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation (AF), patients are treated with oral anticoagulants (OAC) prior to the procedure. Despite being on anticoagulants, some patients develop a left atrial appendage thrombus (LAAT). To exclude the presence of LAAT, transesophageal ultrasound (TEE) is performed in all patients prior to t
The xylonate was bioproduced directly from lignocellulosic residues, and the application properties of crude xylonate powder were investigated with a promising potential as a bio-based concrete water reducer. The overall integrated process was evaluated on the view of mass balance and techno-economic analysis using Aspen Plus modeling. 56 g/L of calcium xylonate (XA-Ca) can be obtained within 8 h
