We evaluated the Extended Strengths and Weaknesses Assessment of Normal Behavior—General Instrument (E-SWAN-G), designed to capture core strengths and difficulties across the mental health spectrum. A youth version was completed by 603 parents and an adult version by 607 adults, each comprising 60 items. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses supported 13 identical first-order factors across
This master thesis is part of the development of a new industrial machine. The machine is a fully automated transplanting machine for the forest industry and will be used by nurseries around the world. Nurseries grow seedlings and sell them when they have grown enough to be planted in the ground. The machine being developed moves plants from a tray with small cells to a tray with bigger cells. Thi
The continental silicon (Si) cycle, including terrestrial and freshwater ecosystems (lakes, rivers, estuaries), acts as a filter and modulates the amount of Si transported to the oceans. In order to link the variation in the terrestrial Si cycle to aquatic ecosystems, knowledge on changes in vegetation cover, soil disturbance and the impact of human activity are required. This study on varved lake
AIMS: Patients with arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) have increased prevalence of atrial arrhythmias indicating atrial involvement in the disease. We aimed to assess the long-term evolution of P-wave indices as electrocardiographic (ECG) markers of atrial substrate during ARVC progression. METHODS AND RESULTS: We included 100 patients with a definite ARVC diagnosis according
While ecosystem service (ES) assessments become a more and more important source of knowledge, there is a need for synthesis approaches that make the results usable to support decisions. Effective synthesis approaches can reduce the information burden produced by multiple ES assessments and help decision-makers to compare alternative options and to assess their impacts. In this review, we focus on
Purpose: Presence of disseminated tumour cells (DTCs) in the bone marrow (BM) has been described as a surrogate of residual disease in patients with early breast cancer (EBC). PADDY (Pooled Analysis of DTC Detection in Early Breast Cancer) is a large international analysis of pooled data that aimed to assess the prognostic impact of DTCs in patients with EBC. Experimental design: Individual patien
I sexualbrottmål består inte sällan bevisningen i huvudsak av målsägandens utsaga och det är därför den som blir central vid bevisvärderingen. En bedömning av en utsaga är i sig komplex, men försvåras ytterligare när målsäganden är ett barn. För att säkerställa materiellt korrekta domar bör faktorerna som beaktas vid bevisvärderingen av en utsaga i största möjliga mån bygga på antaganden med stöd In cases regarding sexual offenses, the evidence often consists essentially of the victim’s testimony, which is why it becomes the main focus in the evaluation of evidence. An assessment of a testimony is in itself complex, but gets further complicated when the victim is a child. In order to ensure accurate judgments, the factors to be taken into consideration in the evaluation of evidence should,
Syftet med denna uppsats är att utreda umgängessabotage i relation till barnets bästa. Ämnet är aktuellt då antalet vårdnadstvister ökar. Dessutom finns det behov av att utreda frågan då barn i större utsträckning ses som individer med egna rättigheter och intressen. En sådan utveckling kan ses utifrån ändringen i FB år 2006 samt inkorporeringen av barnkonventionen. Enligt 6 kap. 2 a § FB ska baThe purpose of this thesis is to investigate visitation interference in relation to the child’s best interests. The topic is relevant as the number of custody disputes in Sweden has increased. In addition, there is a need to investigate the question because children are more widely regarded as individuals with their own rights and interests. Such development can be seen from the change in FB in 20
Den bakomliggande teorin om planetbildning är att planeterna bildas samtidigt som stjärnan och därför av samma material som stjärnan. Därför måste dessa stoft- och gaspartiklar bindas samman till planeter. Teorin säger att detta görs i en disk runt stjärnan vilken uppstår vid stjärnbildning för att bevara rörelsemängdsmomentet och sådana diskar har observerats och skulle förklara varför alla planeTurbulence which can increase the maximum particle density in some region is interesting for planet formation since the process for building up planets has some problem. Planets are formed by dust grains sticking together into planets during the star formation period and the major problem is the growth from cm to km scale. During this phase both the microscopic molecular forces and the macroscopic
Enriched environment significantly enhances postischemic functional outcome. We have tested the hypothesis that housing in enriched environment stimulates gene expression for brain-derived neurotrophic factor. After ligation of the middle cerebral artery in male spontaneously hypertensive rats, they were housed in individual cages for 30h, then housed either in standard cages or in an enriched env
Objective: Cryptorchidism is a common congenital genito-urological anomali in males with increased risk of infertility and testicular cancer. In this retrospective study the results of operations for undescended testis at Landspitalinn University Hospital were reviewed with special emphasis on patients diagnosed with testicular cancer later in life. Material and methods: The study includes 593 mal
Increased blood glucose after a meal is countered by the subsequent increased release of the hypoglycemic hormone insulin from the pancreatic beta cells. The cascade of molecular events encompassing the initial sensing and transport of glucose into the beta cell, culminating with the exocytosis of the insulin large dense core granules (LDCVs) is termed "stimulus-secretion coupling." Impairment in
The aim of this was to determine whether the change of size observed at the first response evaluation after initiation of first-line combination chemotherapy correlates with overall survival (OS) in patients with metastatic breast cancer (MBC). The change in size of tumors derived from measurements according to Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) at the first evaluation on comput
Production of risks has emerged as one dominating process of contemporary society, and consciousness towards risk is increasing continuously. Travelling being a common practice in today’s society suggests that also participation in travel entails increasing risk, and that risk perceptions are inevitable part of the tourism experience. Therefore, the study aims at finding out what kind of risk perc
Fastighetsköp utgörs oftast av stora ekonomiska värden. Därmed åläggs säljaren och köparen åtaganden för att tillgodose sina egna intressen. Syftet med uppsatsen har varit att undersöka upplysningspliktens omfattning vid fel i fastigheten, specifikt då upplysningsplikten inte uttryckts i jordabalken. Vägledning har därmed behövt hämtas från förarbeten och praxis. Praxis har återgetts för att illus
The aim of this paper is to study the extent to which non-Annex I countries are implementing or exploring select actions that support both climate change mitigation and sustainable development objectives in the energy sector. The research is based on a survey of the national communications of 100 non-Annex I Parties to the UNFCCC. Although national communications are intended to provide informatio
